WASHIVOTOX. March ! A. formal

to record the soldier rote In France
for elections held during- the war has
bn prepared by the War Department.

The subject was brought up recently
by a Western state, which proposed
scheme of its own for obtaining the
vote of Its citizens In France. While
It might b possible for a single state
to accomplish this, the Army holds that

would Impose a hurden upon the mili
