play is one that it's beautiful senti-
ment and story will remain a play

Bondage" dramatized from Mr..
Kaufman's book OF the same name,
the terrible truths Of which so
startled the nation that Rockefeller

AMERICAN ARMY READY
Troops and Supplies Reaching
France on Bakers Schedule.
Opening of Major Operations on West
ern Front Sure to Find America
~ Able to Hold Her Place.

Washington. - Troops and supplies
for General Pershing's forces now are
moving to Frnce on scahedule time, it
was learned on high authority.
It is felt strongly the opening OF
major operations, in what President
Wilson has predicted will prove the
decisive year of the great war, Will
not be much longer delayed.
In previous years April has seen Of
fensive operations set In motion by the
allies. For that reason many officers
here seem to anticipate raiding and
minor assaults before the middle of
next month, which will show in them
selves that the ground is being map
ped, information obtained and logical
strategic advantages established by
one side or the other in preparation for
q great effort.
To others it appears probable that
no offensive will be undertaken on any
considerable scale before May 1.
Meanwhile during the last few days
there has been less discussion Of a
German offensive on the western front.
There are observers here who never
have been convinced the Germans
actually intended to attempt another
drive at the Channel ports or at Paris.
To these officers the admitted con-
centration of German forces has seem
ed defensive rather than an offensive
step. They believe that the German
general staff foresaw a great allied eff
fort this year and were moving to off
set it.
Based upon the three line method Of
trench warfare evolved in France, the
war department, it was learned, has
approved a plan of organization which
fixes six divisions as the strength OF
an army corps.
Three or more corps will constitute
a field army and the immediate pur-
pose Of the department is to complete
The organization of the first field army
In France in the shortest possible time
to give General Pershing the strength
to hold a fully "AmericaniZeC" sector
Of the front The plan leaves to Cen
eral Pershing the determination Of the
number of corps and the number of
field armies needed and also author
lies him to recommend commanders
for the higher units.
The organization schedules show
General Pershing is to be equipped
eventually with artillery of all calibers
on scale not heretofore dreamed of.
The proportion OF artillery to army
rifles adopted by the war department
Is greater than that of either the Brit
lsh or French armies and the tendency
of the department is to increase. the
big guns.
With this array Of guns, enemy de-
pots 20 miles or more ia the rear or
his trenches could be kept under bonn
bardment.

Gratis won all four congressional seas
voted for in a special election.
They won them all by decisive ma
jorlties, for which they have to thank
the women, who cast their ballots Tor
the first time In New York state for
congressional candidates.
The women polled practically ~ Per
cent. of the entire vote cast. They put
themselves almost solidly OIL record In
support of the administration In its
war policies.
Griffin, Democrat, Won over Furl'ng,
Republican, In the Twcnty-second dis
trict. There were 3,2l3 votes by wo-
men.
In the Twenty-frst Congressional
district Donovan, Democrat, defeated
Bollem, Republican. The women'T vote
totalled 1915.
In the Eighth Congressional district
of Brooklyn, Cleary, Democrat, won
over Morehouse, Republican. The wo-
mems vote totalled 10,011.
In the Seventh district of Brooklyn,
complete, John J. Delaney, Democrat
defeated John S. Gaynor, Republican.
The women who voted totalled 1859.
Senators and representatives Of both
major parties kept the telephone wires
from Washington busy up to the time
the final figures were announced.
With the representation In the house
standing 200 Republicans aid 211
Democrats, tremendous Interest center
ed in the outcome. Had the four con-
gressional districts returned Repub-
licans in place Of the Democrats who
previously represented them the house
control would have been changed.
The women's vote was grouped into
two classes-the business women and
the baby carriage" voters, as poll
tician characterized that Of the moth
ers who wheeled their offspring to the
polls.
The business women voted early, for
the most part. They appeared at the
polls clad for their work in offices or
stores. 1t was characteristic perhaps
that they proceeded about the new ex-
perience of voting in more business
like manner than did the mothers who
voted after the dishes were washed
and the days marketing performed.
Election officials declared that the
women, despite the entirely new ex-
perience of voting, displayed keen.

which enabled them quickly to see
through the machinery workings incl
dent to securing, marking and casting
the ballot.
" A number of policemen were anus

mothers to mind the baby" while they
voted.
Women also voted at town elections
in Orleans county, up state, and made

elections, they turned Burlington and
