SOLDIERS, GIRLS ARE TOLD

Washington, Aug. 15.-Warning
to young girls to be watchful of the
acquaintanceships they make with
soldiers was issued yesterday by the
War and Navy Departments COM

The commissions say the warning is
not intended to reflect on the char
acter of the men in the service, who
as a whole are clean and upstand-

Nevertheless, the statement says,
no young woman should approach or
converse familiarly with a man in
uniform unless introduced by a
mutual friend, or unless he has been
properly vouched for by the COM
munity organization.

the War Department relative to TAX
ing of votes of soldiers in France in
November. The concluding paragraph
says: where the state laws require
the sending of election commission
ers to take the soldiers votes, the
military authorities will place at the
disposal of such commissioners every
assistance that is found to be COM
patible with the exigencies of the
military situation. In most instances,
however, 1t will be impracticable to
permit commissioners to take the
votes"
This is taken to mean here that
there will be small chance for SOL
diers to vote except through the mail
and as the Pennsylvania law requires
secrecy of the ballot, this makes a
new question to meet. All mail must
be censored.

PRESIDENT FAV0RS PLANS
FOR MORE Y. M. c. A. WORK
Approves Extension of Recreation
Centers in United States and
Allied Countries.

President Wilson yesterday approved
plans outlined to him by DR.. John X.
Mott executive secretary of the Y. NJ.
G. AWar Council, for extension of rec
reation center work by the association
in the United States and the allied
countries.
Dr. Mott said that recfeational CEN
tiers of the association have been tried
out in the French army camps and they
proved so successful that he received
q cablegram recently requesting their
extension throughout the entire French
army To fulfill this demand ten new
recreational points must be opened
each day and twenty-five workers from
this country must go TO France each
week for several months.
TO provide the necessary workers,
DR.. Mott pointed out, as well as the
new work among the other allied coun-
tries and in Russia, a school to train
men over the draft age for the centers
is being esta blished at Princeton Uni
versity.
We have included Russia in our
plans" said DR.. Mott, because We have
confidence in the masses Of the Russian
peoples. The allies are going to win
this war and we must continue an at
titude of friendly tolerance toward
Russia now that she needs a helping
hand"

There is 4 limit TO shipbuiiding and a
limit TO submarine building, one official
