Cut Expense of
Election in Two

The first test OF voting machines IN
Marshall county proved the worth OF
the machines from a financial view
point. The expense OF the spccial
election of July IL, when Marshal
county electors voted on the accept
ance OF federal aid for hard surfaced
roads. was less than half that Incurred
by the special election OF 1917, when a
vote was taken on the prohibitory
amendment.
The total expense of the special cleo
ton Of July II was tI35.sS, while the
special election Of 1917 cost the coun-
ty $l,o11.36.
An interesting comparison OF cleo
ton cost IL provided In the expense
accounts OF Story county, where the
old system OF balloting " employed,
ana OF Marshall county with voting
machines. The figures are from the
reports of the two good roads elections
OF this summer
The Story county election was con-
Quoted at a cost of sl,027.50 while that
of Marshall county was at an expense
Of $435.9S. II lis interesting to note
that the item OF expense for the en-
ployment Of election judges for the
Story county election and In Marshall
county under the old system was al
most the same. Story county paying
1914 and Marshall county $500. Each
county has twenty-seven precincts.
The special election Of July n, In
this county, was conducted at a saving
of s575.5s. as compared to the special
election of 1917, or at a cost OF ap-
proximately 40 per cent that Of the
election under the old system. The
saving in the one election pays six
months interest charge on the $4,000
worth 5 per cent bonds the board
sold to get the money to pay for the
voting machines.

LIMITS ENEMY COUNTRY
(By Robert J. Prew.)

Paris, March Al. n. S.)-How
the German peace ENJOYS will be re-
ceived next month at Versailles when
they are called in to sign the pre-
liminary peace treaty at the scene of
Bismarck's triumph over France in
\ 1871 is already being informally dis
cussed by the chiefs of the various
peace delegations now in Paris.
1t is practically certain that a sub
committee of three members will be
appointed BY the supreme council TO
confer with7 the Germans when they
arrive. The personnel, probably, will
comprise one delegate each from
Great Britain, the United States and
France.
The names of President Wilson.
Premier Lloyd George and Premier
Clemenceau are being mentioned as
the possible members of this subcom-
mittee.
Accept Only Alternative.
For a week the Germans will listen
10 a recital of. the terms the allies
intend to impose upon them. Then
they will return to Germany to ac-
quaint their government with the
7terms which, the peace commission
crs here believe, they will have no
alternative but to accept. The Ger
mans will then return to Versailles
for the purpose of publicly signing
the preliminary treaty.
No exhaustive discussion of terms
will be allowed. although the envoys
will have ample opportunity to ex-
press their views. But the Germans
will be given to understand that they
must sign the pact as it stands.
The state of public feeling in Paris
next month will determine whether
the German delegates will live in
Paris or will be, housed secretly in
one Of the quiet suburbs.
Supreme Council.
The next meeting of the supreme
war council will be held tomorrow to
continue discussion of the subjects
that were under consideration yester
day.
While the council was taking up
the future of Germany's army and
navy three more commissions were
being appointed to deal with the ter
rife load of work thrust upon the
conference.
A super r-commission" was dele
gated to map out the limits ofseneny
countries. Its membership consists
OF one delegate from each of the big
live powers-Great Britain, France, |
