Militant Suffragettes
Invade Nation's Capitol
Washington, Dec. 12. 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.
The suffrage convention opened this
afternoon with unfurling of the asso-

President Expends Money
For Secret Service
Washington, Dec. 13. "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,

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.
(Signed) FAT'L V. MARIS,
County Agent Leader.
