AMERICAN SOLDIERS IN
FRANCE WON'T GET TO VOTE
Would Interfere With Military Eff
cheney, Says the War Department.
May Have Political Effect.

The American soldiers who consti-
tute the expeditionary forces in
France will not be. able to vote at the
various state elections this fall. This
has been decided by the war depart
ment, the belief being that the votes
of these men cannot be taken without
a serious interference with military
efficiency. The men who are station
ed at camps and environments, and at
any military posts, in the boundaries
of the United States, will be permit
ted to vote under the provisions of
a law framed for that purpose.
Just what political effect the elm
ination of several hundred thousand
voters from the usual polls in this
country will have is entirely problem
atical. 1t may work many changes,
and bring about results entirely un-
looked for. In Georgia the political
complexion will not be changed, but
the absence of several thousand of
the young men democrats at the Sep
TENDER primaries will unquestionably
have its bearing on some of the can
didates.

The bill was initiated a year ago
and provided maximum penalties of

Under the caption mail Red
Cross Lies" the Seattle Star in
its issue of Dec. Goth prints on its
front page an offer of $500 reward
to anyone who will prove the
stories rejecting upon the Red
Cross and put into circulation by
pro-German sympathizers. Here
is a chance for some easy money,
provided of course your gossip can
produce the goods:
The Star offers today $500 to
nail Red Cross lies circulated by
pro-German traitors-and in some
cases by just plain fools.
You've heard the lie about the
logger, who was supposed to have
written an old lady telling her he
had bought the socks she made
for soldiers.
You've heard the lie about all
the Red Crors speakers who were
supposed to be getting rich from
Red Cross receipts.
You've heard the lie which
tried to brand every worker in
the Red Cross as a war CRATER.
You've heard the lie that the
women in the booths, taking mem
berships, got a commission.
ALL these stories are lies-lies
originated by traitors.
But they are carried sometimes
by fools.
Every article made by the Red
Cross goes to the purpose for which
it was intended.
Every dollar you give to the
Red Cross goes into the great
humanitarian task that faces the
organization.
Stories of graft and dishonesty
in connection with the Red Cross
are lies.
And the Star knows they are
lies. That is why the Star offers
$500 to any one who can prove a
single case of graft or dishonesty
in the Red Cross.
Dozens of these stories have
been traced down by Red Cross
officials themselves.
Every single story has proven
false.
Yet there are traitors and fools
who carry on the Red Cross lies.
The next time any one tries to
peddle a Red Cross lie to you,
just tell that person to prove it to
the Star and get $500.
