WHERE TO GET APPLICATION
BLANKS FOR 1918 AUTO LIcESES

For the information of automobile
owners who desire to take out their
to take out their license for 1918 the
Highway Department, states that a
supply of application blanks for 1918
have been forwarded to every dealer
in the State, and also a supply, has
been sent to the Clerk of Court of
every County. Owners can obtain
same by applying to these dealers, or
to the Clerks of Court, and thus save
considerable time, as in most cases
they can obtain tn enecessary in
formation as to the horse power of
their automobile, the motor number,
style, the model, and such informa-
ton required by the Highway De-
partment before the license can be
issued. A simple reference to the
1917 license number is not sufficient
and an application must be filled out
and sent in for each motor vehicle.
AS the time is getting very short
and no authority is given any one
man in the State, or to any group of
men, save the Legislature, to extend
the time limit it would be wise for
all owners of motor vehicles to make
application promptly so as to get
their license plate at the earliest pos
sible moment.
Up to Saturday night, January
10Th, less than half of the licenses
issued for 1917 have been taken out
for 1918,s and though the Highway
Department is working over time
they will not be able to issue all Ii
censes before February 1st. How
ever, this will be no excuse for au-
tomobile owners and under the law
they cannot operate their motor We
hicles without the 1918 license plate
on same, whether they have made ap-
plication for their license or not.

PERSHING'S MEN
LEAD CLEAN Ives

Washington, Jan. 22.I-There new
er has been similar body of men to
lead as clean lives as the American
soldiers in France, General Pershing
said in cablegram today to Secre-
tary Baker in reply to inquiries as to
the truth Of reports Of immoderate
drinking among the men.
General Pershing's message was
made public by Mr.. Baker in this let
ter to Governor Capper of Kansas:
you may recall writing to me sew
eral days ago concerning persistent
reports as to the immoderate sale Of
liquor among our forces in France.
My impression was that these rumors
were not well founded in fact; but
felt it my duty to convey their con-
tent to General Pershing and to ask
him to communicate with me as to
the facts. You will be glad to know
that ] have just received the fol-
lowing words from the commander of
the American expeditionary forces:
There has never been q similar
body of men to lead as clean lives as
our American soldiers in France.
They have entered this war with the
highest devotion to duty and with no
other idea than to perform these du.
ties in the most efficient manner Dos
sible. They fully realize their obli-
cation to their own people; their
friends and the country.
"a rigid program Of inspection i,
carried out daily with traditional
American enthusiasm. They are en-.
gagged in interesting exercises in the
open air with simple diets, officers
and men, like trained athletes, are
ready for their task. Forbidden the
use of strong drink and protected By
stringent regulation against sexua
evils and supported by their own NOR
al courage, their good behavior Is the
subject Of most favorable comments
especially by our allies:

The action was taken at the request
of Colonel Roosevelt himself because
he objected to allowing the $4,000 to

by making speech in which he re-

who was the central figure In that

Senator Lewis said ne had seen 1t
