The marblo corridors of the capitol echoed today with the tramp of 600 suffragists. They were delegates to the National Woman Suffrage convention . here, who ad vanced in forty-four groups upon as many different state delegations in congress. ' " The women carried the definite chal lenge to each member opposing passage of a federal suffrage amendment that they will line up against every such congressman in the 1918 elections. Headed by Mrs. Norman Whitehouso, the victorious New York suffragistB met in Senator Calder's office to ob tain the pledge of the Bond delegation from that state. Fifty Massachusetts women invaded Senator Weeks' of fice. . Today's demonstration will be fol lowed by pressure from all parts of the country, until the suffragists are ready for a test vote in both houses. This may be delayed until January, as the result of polls which indicated that the amendment is a few votes shy of the necessary two-thirds in each branch. Antis, on theother hand, are pressing for immediate action, confident of de feating the amendment.

"For secret service and confidential use abroad"' President Wilson has spent $1,679,066 of the $100,000,000 general fund voted him at the last session of congress. Figures made public also showed $31, 597,377.84 expended under the head "for national security of defense-" The president asked for an extension of time and authority to spend ,tho bal- Cassjjaign Eeadcjsarters Are Est&bMed For Pending Red Cross Drive With tho establishment of campaign headquarters at 409 United States Na tional Bank building, the Christmas membership drive for 12,000 members of the Bed Cross in Marion eouuty, is well under way. Tomorrow at two-thirty in the after noon, Mrs. E. E. Fisher will meet dele gates from every auxiliary in tho city of Salem and vicinity, at the auditor ium of the Commercial clab. The actual work of the campaign will be conduct ed through the auxiliaries, and each one is asked to furnish a quota of workers. Supplies and instructions are to be giv en out at tomorrow's meeting and every chairman of an auxiliary is urged to have at least four delegates from his or her auxiliary present at the meeting. One of the features of the campaign will be the establishment of Bed Cross booths in various points about tho city, each booth to be incuarge of a worker, who will be appropriately garbed in the Red Cross cap and insignia. This department of the work has been plac ed in charge . of Miss Mabel Withy combe. An intensive houso to house canvass is the plan of the campaign, and the aim will be to put a Red Cross service flag in every home. Tho service flag is a new idea, and consists of a white flag with a blue border with a large red cross in the center. Smaller crosses are to be pasted on, so that the total num ber on the flag will correspond to the total number in the household. The flag is to be hung in tho window facing the street. In connection' with the service flag a ceremony has been planned for Christ mas eve', when at 7:30 a lighted candle will be placed behind each of the flags, in order that the Bed Cross Christmas spirit of the household may be illum iratod. Draft Questionnaires Will Be Mailed Out Beginning Tomorrow Portland, Or., Dec. 13 The first of tho new draft questionnaires will be mailed by local boards to draft regis trants tiiis coming Saturday, Decem ber 15. Five per cent of the questionnaires will be sent out on December 15, and five per cent each day thereafter, not including Sundays, and legal holidays, until all are mailed. Draft registrants have just seven days from the time their question naires are mailed not from the timo they are received, but from tho timo they are mailed out by the local board to fill in tho answers ana return them ta the board. Failnro to receive a questionnaire will not excuse a registrant for not re turning it to his local board within the Bevcn day time limit. This should be clearly understood. If the questionnaire is rt- nacs m seven davs, the registrant m-y lose au his rights to claim deferred t'.iTsif ca tion. ' , , The trreat importance of seen.s that his local board has his correct address should thus be plain to every tirnt registrant. If a registrant has moved, he should see. to it immediately, in' hit own interests, that his new address id received by hi local board, as every day's delay in the delivery of the questionnaire counts against him in the seven day timo limit. The questions in the questionnaire and their correct answers are very im portant, for on these answers, sup ported by affidavits, will be based the classification of all men registered for the draft and the order in which, they will be called uip for military service. To answer the questionnaire will re quire considerable study. In order to assist every registrant who desires aid, as well as to safeguard his rights, th.9 government has arranged for free le gal advice for him. Lawyers will bo at the headquarters of each local board to give this free ad vice and assistance to registrants. If a registrant tlives sonic (tlistance from tho headquarters of his local board, he can ask any lawyer near him for as sistance, as all lawyers in the United States have been asked to render this patriotic service free of charge.

Arguments In Favor Agricultural Agent To tho Editor: We have Been informed that a peti tion has been filed with the County Court of Marion county protesting against an appropriation for the em ployment of a County Agricultural Agent. Those who have signed such a peti tion surely do not realize tho signifi cance of their action. The secretary of agriculture, as spokesman for the admin istration and member of tho president 's cabinet, has issued this statement: "In recognition of the County Agent's value as a local leader, congress has provided funds for tho immediate extension of this system to every agri cultural county in tho United States. State and county Councils of Defense and all rural organizations can do a patriotic public service by assisting the government and the state in accomplish ing this end." ' Tho question is merely: "Shall wo have organized and directed agriculture in theso days of tremendous readjust ments, or shall our six million farmers be wholly unorganized and unofficered by official government representatives! The congress of tho United States, in passing tho Food Emergency bills, the president in signing those bills, the Na tional Food Administration, and Nation al and State Councils of Defense, have all answered this question in the af firmative. Surely there are but few who would knowingly endeavor to obstruct the program of the country in its effort to organize agriculture and increase pro duction. Our leaders alone are in position to know the extent to wltich the war has demoralized the agriculture of Europe and of Canada. Those who have pat riotically given their sons to tho pro tection of the country can ill afford to prevent the government from making adequate provision for feeding them and those whose destinies are linked with our own. It is incumbent upon tho patriotic cit izens of Marion county who desire to nphold the hands of the government, to act promptly in the matter of filing an expression with the County Court sa overwhelmingly in favor of the employ ment of an agent, that any opposition which has developed will seem small in comparison with the manifestation of approval. Tho court of Marion county is asked to appropriate' tlTUO or less than four cents on each thousand dollars of asses sed valuation. The farmers of the coun ty arc urged not only to contribute the small amount of money represented by this appropriation but to co-operate in perfecting an organization which will assist in carrying out the government plan and through which surveys may be made, labor supplied and concerted ac tion be ecured.
