THE REGISTRATION

woman's Leisure Time Is in the
Early Afternoon.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir: /
read with great interest your article
what Appeal to Women Does Regis
tration Lack7" II 10 evident from tho
manner in which you write that you
lack knowledge of woman and her
duties in the household. as did the men
who set the hours Of registration from
s to 10 40 p. NJ, as they are now.
You must not lose sight Of the fact
that the majority Of women voters are
not the limousine or lap dog variety,
but the mother and woman Of the home.
A woman who has her household duties
to perform, who has to serve her dinner
when Lord Husband comes home at 6
p. NJ. who must wash dishes and put
the Riddles to bed. certainly cannot pa
rade 10 friend husbands smoke laden
barber shop at p. M. to register her
vote.
A woman's few hours of leisure or
they may be called such) are not from
s to p. NJ, but from IL or to s
p. NJ, It is during these matinee and
shopping hours that women would hnd
tho appeal to register greater. Can n
woman be expected to enter smoke
laden, III smelling barber shop to regis
ter? Do you think that Is something to
appeal to them? The hours and the place
were set for mans convenience and not
for woman's attraction. J. z.

Saw st. MihieI Victory.

OF the military situation he said:
THE battle of ST. Mihiel started the
present triumphant advance of the allied
armies. From a fortified hill overlook
ing the battlefield. I saw Gen. Pershing' s
army advance into the salient while
more than 1000 big guns silenced the
German artillery and pointed the wedge
which finally cut of the salient and
rescued from German occupation French
soil which for four years had been in
their possession.
THE next day I went into St Mihiel
and saw the people at the end OF the
captivity singing the national songs OF
France and having a festival of thanks
giving for their deliverance. The blow
was sudden and the victory complete.
For n few days there was a lull
Then by a concerted movement, the
French and Americans opened new at
tack from the Mouse to the west, cover
ing the Argonne forest, and later the
battle was taken up on the entire front
stretching to the Channel.
II witnessed the start from one of the
forts of Nerdun, and again saw divisions
OF American troops pressing forward
with Irresistible dash through defences
which had for three years seemed i'm
pregnable. The stream OF German pris-
oners and the captured war material
told Of the surprise and rout OF the en-
envy. The cheers OF our soldiers as
they pressed on into the battle, and the
brave happiness 'of our wounded In the
hospitals back OF the line. told the same
story. The American Army had shown
it Is Irresistible, and this spirit Is I'M
conquerable"

BAKER BRINGS BACK
BIGGER WAR PLANS
In European Trip He Arranged
to Cooperate With Allies
on Greater Scale.
GOING AHEAD FULL SPEED
Liberty Loan Must Go Over the
Top as Message to Our Gal
liant Boys, He Says.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. - Secretary
Baker returned from tho western front
to-day with the message that the Lib
erty Loan must 60 over the tor" what
ever the result Of peace proposals.
This was the only comment the Sec
rotary would mako on the peace over
lures. His own explanation OF his trip
shows II was taken to pave tho way for
war on q greater scale.
The army has done and Is doing all
that a proud and grateful country could
ask" Mr.. Baker said on reaching Wash
ington tonight. land the time has come
for us to put in every ounce OF our
strength to assure its complete victory.
The people at home have q solemn re-
spopsibility for their share In the final
result.
THE Liberty Loan must go over the
top. It's success is both our message OF
gratitude to the boys who are Drawing
wars worst perils in defence OF our
liberties and a message to Germany
that our people at homo are as resolute
as our soldiers are brave.
Must support Boys Over There.
"whatever the result of the peace
proposals the War Department must
proceed at full speed with men and sup
piles and the people must support the
army until the boys are back with the
fruits of victory safe and assured. II
every American could have seen our
boys in khaki az they stormed the Ger
man trenches. assailed with shrapnel,
high explosives and machine guns, he
would be eager to subscribe his all to
the Liberty Loan, the success OF which
after all is the measure OF our support
Of the cause for which these Boys are
giving their lives.
my trip abroad was PRINCIPALLY for
the purpose Of arranging further CO.
operation In the matter of shipping for
troops and supplies. 1t was entirely
successful and a complete understanding
was reached which assures the American
army adequate cargo tonnage for its
support. The matter was taken up with
the Interallied Maritime Transport
Council and the cooperation Of the Brit
ish. French and italian governments was
heartily given.
Many questions involving cooperation
on the part Of the several governments
were taken Up and Satisfactorily settled.
The attitude OF both the governments
and peoples OF the European Allies
toward America is cordial, and every
question is approached from the point
OF view OF uniting our strength in the
common cause and with the understand
ings which have been reached with re-
gard to shipping. aircraft, ordnance and
other parts Of the allied programme. the
contribution which the United States
can make is rendered deflpite and the
means OF accomplishment are arranged
THE American soldier has won his
way In Europe and has helped to cement
for all time the good will and good feel
ing which unites our countries In Eng
land, France and Italy the kniehtliness
OF America and her soldiers In this
war has won the admiration of the peo-
pie, and in turn the valor and sacrifice
Of the European Allies and their great
armies have been an inspiration to
Americans"
