like the chancellor.

PLAN TO REGISTER
SOLDIERS In CAMP
.necia1 In THE EVENING JOURNAL

Special 10 THE EVENING JOURNAL.
MILFORD, Del, Aug. 3i.-The first
move towards registering Delaware sol
diers in various camps was made this
week.
Col. Theodore Townsend, Of Milford,
and Theodore Ferguson, OF Blackbird,
who were recently appointed by Gov
ernod Townsend to register the soldiers
in the various cantonments and camps
throughout the country, went 10 Camp
Dix, n. j., where they commenced their
work.
They expect to go from there TO
Camp Meade, and will possibly return
TO Delaware today. The first Of next
week they will start out on the trip to
other camps. and will probably be gone
a month or more.
When the soldiers have been regis
tered. their names will be brought
back TO Delaware, where they Will be
put upon the proper registration books.
Before election day messengers will be
dispatched 10 each camp TO take the
vote on that day. The gathering Of the
soldier vote vii be costly and will cause
much work.
