Miss Decker FORCES to Front
Again In Good Will Contest
Beginning of Forecast Changes Takes Place With Filing OF
1000 Votes in Race-Dr Wards Presence in City
Intensifies Interest.

Miss Josephine Decker went into
first place on Friday in the Good
VIII election. adding 1000 votes TO
her total.
This was one of the changes
which was forecast early n the week
and which is indicating 10 the
friends of the different entrants in
this most interesting race that the
issue will not be settled until the
last vote Is cast at o'clock on
June 3. Interest in the election
and in the purpose Of the American
committee was Increased greatly by
the presentation of the conditions
in France by DIR. Edna Ward, who
is now in the city.
Her three years Of work among
the PEOPLE OF the devastated dis
tricts has given her an insight into
the needs Of the people and into
the demands Of the great work 70
which her committee is pledged.
How necessary that work is lmay
he estimated by the fact that Am
bassa dor Herrick has not only con
Sented 10 act as the president OF
the committee but will receive the
Good VIII delega ton when il ar
rives in Paris. He is more than
interested in having some repre-
sentative OF the wOmanhOod OF each
OF the larger American cities visit
the country 10 which he is ambas-
sador and see for themselves the
spirit and the needs that exist there.
Efforts RedoubIed.
This need and the great purpose
Of the election has resulted in re-
newed effort on the part OF all the
candidates. Many reported that they
would file a large number OF votes
on Saturday and some or the rivals,
in the most friendly spirit. were
confident that they would lead the
list al the beginning OF the last
week OF balloting.
As an insight into the fina ncial
conditions in France ar the present
time and the tremendous burden
now carried by the people, Or.

In 1913. the Flench paid a little
less than five billions OF taxes; for

No. The majority Of taxpayers are
