NEW YORK, August 23.-With the
slogan, Wipe out the 49 per cent
disgrace of 1920i" hundreds of mems
and women's. organizations throughout
the country have been asked to maxi E
an intensive campaign for an aug
mented vote At the presidential cleo
tion November 4, the National Civic
Federation announced today.
More than 100 national organiza-
tions have been asked to cooperate
by the civic body, the statement said
while its president, Alton b. Parker,
has sent an appeal to the leading
commercial bodies in 800 cities to ar
range conferences of representatives
Of local political party organizations
and Of employers. labor. lawyers,
bankers, church, commercial and
other bodies to induce citizens to
register and vote. The Civic Fedora

a former president of the league, in
explaining the purpose Of the cam
paign, said:
Would Restore Democracy.
'It is q crusade to restore Democ-
understanding of the simple duty of
every qualified voter to the COM
munity, the State and the Nation.
Fewer than half of the eligible voters
voted in the presidential election of
1920. In 1922 33 States elected gov
ernors and only a little more than
one-third of the possible voters cast
their ballots. We are ruled by a
minority. This is not due to the less
responsible citizens alone. 1t is a
common failing of thousands of we'll
intentioned and well informed men
and women to excuse themselves on
slight pretext from registering their
good intentions and their knowledge
in the only place in which they will
count toward good government-the
ballot box"
Organizations said to have Joined
with the Civic League in forwarding
the campaign included the American
Federation Of Labor, the National AS
ISOLATION of Manufacturers, the Fed
eral Council Of the Churches of Christ
in America, the United Society of
Christian Endeavor and the Lawyers

STREET BECGARS
DISAPPEAR HERE
Few Remaining Fail to
Prosper as in For
mer Days.

| Washington must be losing it's rep
utation for generosity and sympathy
toward street beggars. Or perhaps
| the police are q little more jealous in
| enforcing the regulation which pro-
hibits the seeking of aims on the
public thoroughfares. Anyway, the
| mendicants, who were so numerous
| only few years ago. have almost
completely disappeared.
And those few who remain seeking
| a livelihood by arousing public SYM
pathy for their physical and apparent
poverty stricken condition, are not
| as prosperous as in former years. One
who was on trial in Police Court sew
eral days ago, unhesitatingly admit
ted that business was poor"
Although the police department is
without a record of the number Of
| street beggars actively engaged on
the busy thoroughfares, they do not
believe there are more than a dozen.
Police officials frankly admit that
there wouldn't be that many If some
of the officers were not actually sym
pathetic and turn their heads in an
opposite direction when passing
street beggar
Calling Is MOdernixed.
The modern street beggar is
smoother than his predecessor. The
familiar tin cup and please Help, |
Am Blind" signs have been discarded.
They would incriminate the mendi-
cant before any court. There is an
alibi. however, for the beggar ar
rested with a box of chewing gum, a
handful Of pencils, shoestrings or
safety matches.
Il am not begging" he would tell
the court. II am selling something"
But those who toss nickle, a dime
or even quarter into the outstretch-
ed hats of the modern street beggars
seldom stop to take the shoe strings
matches or other inexpensive wares
Inspector Charles Evans. assistant
superintendent of police, pointed out
yesterday that there is absolutely no
excuse for person begging on the
streets of Washington. With the
many charitable institutions here, he
said. all persons in dire financial cir
cumstances or unable to work for
livelihood can be adequately cared
tor II they apply for assistance. The
majority of the beggars, however
he declared. refuse to live in a charita-
Bile institution because of the con-
finement.
Many Well Fixed.
Many of the mendicants plying the
streets of Washington. on the other
hand, according to Inspector Evans
are well fixed financially He recalled
the case of a lame boy who posed
as an incurable cripple while begging
on the streets This boy has been
observed by the police on several
occasions on the floor of public
dance hall. He owns a high priced
limousine and employs chauffeur to
drive it.
Inspector Evans also told of
aHother mendicant who came from
Baltimore three times week and
posed near Eleventh and F. streets as
helpless cripple. This man, the
inspector said. admitted to the police,
under cross s-eXaamination, that his
returns from the public averaged
more than $50 a day.
But that was when Washington
was more generous and sympathetic
toward street beggars.

SPANISH 0UTP0STS
SAVED IN MOROCCO
Five Columns, Helped by
Natives, Relieve 28 Gar
risons in Difficult Terrain.
By the A0ociated Pres.

TETUAN, Morocco, August % (De-
Iayed).-Five columns of Spanish troops
with friendly native troops operating in
the Tetuan section in the past few days
have carried out successful demonstra-
tions along the front line. They have
relieved numerous small posts distrib-
uted at various points on tho River Lau.
One column has cleared up the ter
ritory Immediately to the south OF
Darerrai and Kasba- Another depart
ed from Halila, southeast of Tetuan,
and marched to Mokedasen, while a
third started from Emsa and proceeded
to Cudia Masfora. These three COL
umns thereupon concentrated at Tis-
garin under command of Gen. Serrano
and began a combined advance through
the Valley of the Lau, with the object
Of relieving % small positions situated
along the heights between Coradarsa
and Kalaa, a short distance from
Xauen.
Fourth Column Leaves.
Meanwhile a fourth column left
Xauen in order to bring succor to the
post at Gatofa, Talambot and kalaa.
Despite the terrible heat, which rem
dered marching in the valley almost
unbearable. the column attained all
it's objectives without encounterinG
much hostility.
A fifth column, consisting of native
irregulars, chosen from the adherents
of Raisuli, operated back Of the front
line from Babtizjial to Zocoalarba.
The field of operations forms a tri-
angle of which the sides are only
about Is miles in extent, but the ter
ritory presents extreme difficulties
for the troops, owing to the broken
nature Of the ground at the foot OF
q mountain range, in places 5000 feet
high.
The total number Of fresh troops
sent here has reached approximately
$4,000. Many of these will be used
for garrisoning the advanced posts
and guarding convoys.
