tice; but 1 know the magic it will
work in their thought and spirits if
you give it to them. I propose it as
would propose to admit soldiers to the
suffrage, the men fighting in the field
for our liberties and the liberties of
the world, were they excluded. The
tasks of the women lie at the very
heart of the war. and I know how
much stronger that heart will be, if
you do this just thing and show our
women that you trust them as much
as you in fact and of necessity depend
upon them.
Have 1 said that the passage of this
measure and do you need further
proof? Do you stand in need of the
trust of other peoples and of the trust
OF our own women? Is that trust an
asset or is it not? tell you plainly
as the commander in chief of oar
+armies and of the gallant men in our
fleets, as the present spokesman of
this people in our dealings with the
men and women, turnout the world,
who are now our partners, as the re-
sponsible head of a. great government
which stands and is questioned day by
day as to. its purposes its principles
its hopes, whether they be serviceable
to men everywhere or only to itself,
and who must himself answer these
questionings or be shamed, as the
guide and director of forces caught in
the grip of war and, by the same
spiritual resource this great nation
possesses tell you plainly that this

when the war is over. We shall need
the in our vision of affairs, as we
nave never needed them before the
sympathy and insight and clear moral
instinct OF the women of the world.
The problems of that time will strike
to the roots of many things tat we

one believe that BUR safety in those
questioning days, as well as our COM
prehension of matters that touch
society to the quick will depend upon

can be expected.
That Bulgaria will conclude defi-

Bulgaria's chief concern now Is to

is held certain that signing of the

near east will be most serious.
The main communicating line be-

be cut and Austria-Hungaria will be
open to invasion across the Danube.

with the French Army in Cham
payne. Sunday. Sept. 29.-The capture
of Mont Cuvelet and Bouconville by
the French is most important and has
already borne fruit. These heights
permit the French to overlook the
valley of the Aisne and the important
railway junction of Challerange.
They also can see the mouth OF the
valley thru which flows the river Aire.
Along this river a railway runs west
ward from Mouron to Grandpre. 1t is
the only route possible for troops
passing thru the Argonne forest.
South of the Aire the forest is q
mass of impossible swamps. The
railway at Challerange is under fire
and the Americans on the other side
of the forest are steadily approaching
the Grandpre. Yesterday desperate
fighting was not in vain. The enemy

The men who registered September
Il will have to go to their local draft
boards to obtain thier serial number
If they have not received their ques-
tionnaires. Owing to the rush of
work in compiling the selective service
lists in SO short a time after the regis
tration it has been impossible for the
draft boards to send out the notices
of the serial numbers.
The men registered will receive their
serial and order numbers at the same
time in the course OF the next few
weeks. Not all of the numbers drawn
today are to be sent out by telegraph,
but will be sent out in printed lists in
the next few days and as soon as these
are received by the local boards the
serial and order numbers will be listed
together,

jutant General Huffman's office stated
that no instructions have been received
as to how the registrants will be noti-
fled what numbers they received in
the drawing held in Washington today.

In the previous draft the numbers
were forwarded from Washington to
the adjutant generals office and were
then sent to the local board officials
who gave them out to the newspapers.
1t is supposed that this, system would
be followed in this draft, but a dis
patch was received from Washington
today stating that the numbers would
be available at all district boards upon
receipts of master lists from the pro-
vost generals office.
The highest number applying in
Kansas will be about 6,751. the num-
Der reported from Butler county, and
the highest number applying in To-
peka or Shawnee county will be 5000.
Only the first loo numbers drawn were
given to the press associations at
Washington and the other numbers
will have to be received in the way
designated by the provost generals
office.
All questionnaires that are sent out
have the serial numbers of the regis
trants on them.
