In order to be able to handle these
promptly and efficiently the depart
ment begins its business for each fol-
lowing year on the first of November
of the preceding year, that is. on
November /, 1922, registration for
the whole or any portion of 1928 can
be taken out. Before November l.,
1922, the department sent a notice
to each registrant of the preceding
year to this effect. A certain por-
ton of persons so notified respond
on time and take out registration
preceding the first of January. Up
to- the present date, December Z,
1928, 17,308 registrations have been
issued. The department is now con-
centrated on, registration work. 1t
can handle many more registrations
per diem than are now being applied
for. The difficulty is with the pro-
crastination of the persons desiring to
apply. 1t can be forseen that unless
immediate active cooperation from
those persons Is secured that the
work Of issuance will pile up during
the last week of December into such
quantity that the department will not
be ahlA to handle it without delays.
The department is ready to do the
work, has made and is making every
possible effort to remind citizens of
the duty to register early.
No Postponement This Year.
The most recent reminder, and
one which will be constantly before
the eyes of the public during the
balance of the year is a visual exhibit
consisting of series of trucks loaned
to the department of motor vehicles
by the state highway commission,
each truck bearing a large sign call
ing attention to the situation and re-
questing immediate action. These
trucks will circulate throughout the
state. A photograph is enclosed.

ENGLAND MAY ASK .
j. S. TO CANCEL
Continued from First Page)


ask the American government II II is
willing to cancel the French debt to
the United States, provided England
In turn cancels the French debt TO
Great Britain and at the same time
enters definite agreement with the
American government TO ultimately
pay the British debt TO America.
This suggestion probably will be
presented directly to Mr.. Hughes. the
American Secretary OF State. In the
course Of the present week.
Favors Cancellation
Great Britain Is said to look fav-
orably on the cancellation of the
French debt due her provided the
United States cancels the French war
debt to America. II is the belief of
British officials that the United Sattes
would be willing to at least attend a
conference as which such proposition
could be thoroughly discussed. 1t was
also stated in American circles this
morning that the definite agreement
to pay the British debt to the United
States could or might be accompanied
by proposal for long period, say
so years, in which only interest would
be paid.
France Might Capitulate
In conference quarters 1t was the
view that France has indicated her
willingness to give up military penal
ties In return for the cancellation Of
debts by the United States and Great |
Britain and would be ready also to |
give long moratorium to Germany |
No Request Received
: Washington, Dec. II (By the Asso-
ciated Press) request that the
United States take part in confer
ence on cancellation of the French
war debt has reached the state de-
partment and there was no indication
today that department officials saw
any reason to alter the well under
stood position they previously have
taken on the question of European
debts.
! It has been said on the highest au-
thority that the United States has no
suggestion to make in connection
with the discussions Of the allied
premiers at London. 1t is pointed out
Furthermore that the state department
has not authority to sit in debt can
collation. conference since congress
has fixed definitely the method by
which war Indebtedness is to be set
