IS May Send Member to France
s. A member of the public safety com.
mission may be sent to France to re-
ceive the vote of Minnesota men there,
and arrangements will be made to en-
able the Minnesota men in the Ameri-
can camps to exercise their right of
franchise, according to proposals dis

be answered, the secretary said, before

be put into operation without enact
