TO
BEGIN MARCH 8

Registration of Wayne county vot-
ers will start March and continue
until October at the court house on
ly.
This registration, the time for which
IS established by law, is for the gen.
eral election next fall.

in the registration will be light.
A chief clerk and deputy clerk
will be appointed soon to have charge
of the registration. They will be Sc
lected from the two major parties by
the county chairmen and will be ap-
pointed by the county clerk. They
will sit at the court house during the
registration period and will be paid
at the rate of 81 a day, probably.
A suggestion issued recently by an
election commission appointtd by
Governor Goodrich that the registra-
tion commissioners act also as chief
and deputy clerks will not be follow
ed in Wayne county, according to
Clerk Kelly.
The suggestion was made on the
theory that it would cut election ex-
penses throughout the state. Inas-
much as the fees paid to the registra-
ton commissioners are merely nomi-
nal no expense would be saved in
Wayne county and the present COM
would be unable to serve
as the registration would consume
their entire time.

President b Retfeent.

WASHINGTON. Feb. o6-German
Chancellor Won Hertiing,s speech to
the Reichstag was carefully stndfef
today by President Wilson and stata
department officials without any Of
ficial Indication Of how It was regard
ed or that It would be made the base,
for further step in the prestdent's
custom Of discussing the subject Of
peace in the open before Congress.
Intimations that the president would
make It the occasion for another ad-
dress Immediately found no official
support.
Other officials who read the chan
cellor's address carefully thought it
served to emphasize a point made by
President Wilson in one Of his earffer
addresses dealing with the peace aims
of the powers that while the central
powers appeared to accept the gener-
al broad altruistfc principals for which
the entente allies and America were
contending, when it came to the ar
rangement of details, the central pbw-
ers appeared reluctant to apply those
principals.
They noted particularly Won Hert-
ling's references to Ireland, India and
Egypt and regarded them as calculat-
ed to create a dfscord between the
entente allies and continue a decep-
tion of the German people who ap-
parently believe the military party is
willing to make peace without. annex
ations and indemnities.

Mere Man Has Knitting Croun--Fs Wife Admits It's True

She comedies that her fiasco on that
occasion has given her heightened
opinion of her husbands accomplish
ment
In the old days the young husbands
sat about and held the yarn for their
wives, and knitting was always con-
sidered feminine pursuit Now, in
the new order Of things, the husband
is teaching his wife all the important
stitches. and Is patient instructor in
the art of knitting.
"All the knitting l know l learned
from my husband" Mrs Strohm said
Tuesday.
Mr.. Strohm has knitted a sweater

for the Red Cross, and has completed
several scarfs, and is now working on
a helmet for his brother, Jacob, who
is in the service at Camp Pike, Ark.
His work as railroad machinist
has helped him to become an expert
knittereMr. Strohm believes. A little
carelessness on the part of machin-
list In the railroad shops may mean
the loss of thousands of lives, and he
learns to attend carefully to every de-
tail of his work,
This carefullness he applies to his
knitting with the result that his work
is perfectly done, and exceeds in care

he may sometime win some converts
to the legion that Is knitting socks for
the soldiers.
Lack of time is the main drawback
to his knitting, Mr.. Strohm finds. I'm.
like travelling statesmen, politicians
and firemen, who have taken up the
work, he has little leisure time, and he
cannot complete the amount of work
he would like to do, he says.
Mr.. Strohm was born in Germany,
but that fact has made him just the
more enthusiastic toward his knitting
work
I'D rather work for the Red Cross
than for the kaiser" he says.

SOAP BOX TRAINING DOES NOT
FIT TO GOVERN, SAYS CRANE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.--Charles

American mission to Russia, White
House caller today characterized the
collapse of Russia as a catastrophe but
pronounced the peace agreement with
German as wholly ineffective.
''Trotzky and Lenine," said Mr..
Crane, have shown the world that

Last season SO percent Of the public

This increase In gardening interest
