 How To Get Out The Vote.
 Get-out-the-vote methods suggested by the National League of Women Voters have been used with ma rket sue cess in the recent Hawaii primary and election. Word to this effect has bren received by the national league officers from the Hawaii League of Women Vot- CTS, which has membership of more than 500.
 Individual instruction in the use of the ballot was given to hundreds of women, and the Hawaii league reports that the number of incorrectly marked ballots was very much less in the cleo tion than In the primary. As the league was the only organiza ton in Hawaii teaching women how to vote, the improvement in voting technique is credited to the efforts of it's members. Of the registered women voters. S7.6 voted. and of the men, S7.9 were re- corded, a difference of three-tenths of one per cent.
 ''The figures from Hawaii show clearly that when efforts are made to give women political education. women are just as interested in their political duty as men. and vote just about as generally" said Miss Belle Sherwin, na- tional vice president, on receipt of the news from Hawaii.
 Hawaii has given great impetus to our campaign to get out 70 per cent of the possible vote this yesr, for *e can not let. it be said that. in the states i'm terest in good government is less among intelligent women than it is in the far away territory

CONDEMN RECENT yAPS ATROCITY
Army Held Disgraced By The Struggling Of Socialist Couple

The Japanese public is aroused to an extraordinary pitch of indignation by the atrocity that threatens to destroy the transient popularity that the army acquired by its services after the recent earthquake.
 Immediately following that disaster the authorities rounded up the lead ing radicals as a precautionary meas ure, lest they. take advantage of the shock to the public mind to dissemin- ate subversive doctrines. Among those arrested were the widely known social- ists. Mir. and Mrs. Osusi. with their 1-year-old nephew, born in Portland, can citizens, says the Living Age.
 Soon after the prisoners were placed in confinement, a Captain Amsknsu trangled with his own hands Mir. and Mrs. Osugi, who were seized unawares when they were in different cells. while one of the captains soubordinates strangled the little nephew. Rumor has it that several other socialists were murdered or summarily executed.
 The captain and his aide pleaded in defense that they acted for the greater glory of Japan and from motives of pure patriotism. Other officers were privy to the crime. and at least one of them witnessed it. Among the evi- denee is the following conyersat tion be- tween a Sergeant-Major Mori and Mrs. Osugi:
 You will probably write regarding the conduct of the police and the troops once martiah law is lifted1"
 Il have already received many offers from publishers to do so.''
 The death agony of the victims. even in the hands of their expert stranglers, lasted more than ten minutes.
 The Osugi murders are condemen- ed without qualification by the Jap anese press. which turns a deaf ear to the patriotic apologetics of . small army clique. Kobe Shimbun saysi This crime is nothing less than mas sacre perpertated in the confusion of natural disaster. The terrible effect it has had on the public mind is great CT than an earthquake and a fire. and shows that man-made catastrophes are sometimes more cruel and horrifying than those produced by nature"
