Canadian Tourists Need Passport: Tocal young men who for vacation or business trigh, are contemplating goingz into Canada, should provide {hemselves with the necessary pass- ports or other means of definitely es- tablishing their American citizenship.

The screws have. been tightened up and close inquiry and checking up is made of every male who wants to get into or come out of the Dominion: provided that his age is between 18 and 45 years. Tiwo local men who were in Canada week, for a very brief stay, were sely quizzed and had to establish before they were allow- ed to start for home. A passport, how- ever, affords full protection fo an American citizen. Artillerymen in Fine Form. Lieutenant John E. Casey of the Thirteenth company.

Moran Was on St Austi mer Board to Hear Claims for Exemption Today, Wednesday and Thursday— Ninety-three Women Register _to Vote With the Republicans—Two Girfs at Hospital Injured in Automo- bile Accident—A. Paul Geissler Has Three Fingers Torn Off—Death of Mrs. Sylvester Baker. In this ecity beginning this morn- ing, members' of the exemption board will begin hearing claims for exemp- tion. Today is the final day for men who were examined on August 2-4 to file their exemption claims. Practic- ally_all of the information that will Dbe filed by the claimants_is now in the hands of the board. Twenty-five men have been summoned in for to- day, 25 for tomorrow and 25 for Thursday. Areview of the details of the clalms for exemption proves interesting. A few * curious conceptions of the grounds upon- which exemptions may ho claimed have been found, but on the whole, the claims filed are in ac- cordance with the _instructions on which claims may be based. Followinz the hearing of the "ex- emption claims, another group of men will be before the board in the su- perior court library here on Friday morning and_afternoon and will be | followed on Saturday and Monday by other groups.

The local board does not pass upon occupational claims: that is. claims for exemption based upon the occu- pation in which one is engaged. Such claims will be dectded by the district board. NINETY-THREE WOMEN REGISTER TO VOTE Al on Republican List — No Women Under Democratic Applications — Men 108 to 32. Registrar Hermon G. Carver gave out Monday afternoon the’ following figures showing the additions of names to the caucus lists of the re- publication and democratic parties in the town of Putnam as the result of the two meetings of the registrars to receive applications for enrollment: republican men, 108; republican wo- men, 93: democratic men, 32; demo- cratic women, 0. About 40 names were removed from the caucus iists in the yearly revision made to bring it up to date, these removals being on account of removal from -the town of the persons involved in the pro- ceedings, on account of the death of registrants and for other reasons un- der which the board may so act. Mr. Carver says that the caucus jists are now made up of so many names in Putnam that thev are rap- idly assuming the proportions of the voting lists. The heavy registration by the re- publicans is taken by some observers, in the democratic party, as an Indi- cation of a drive during the coming winter to rezain control of the city administration, which for nearly two years past has been directed by the Zemocrats. The registration of such a large rumber of women voters is also taken as an indication of an increasing in- terest among the women in town af- fairs, particularly as regards the ad- ministration of schools. GIRLS AT HOSPITAL FOLLOWING AUTO ACCIDENT Miss Lambert and Miss Powers in Car Which Rolled Down Embank- ment. Miss Regina Lambert Mary Powers, young women of this city, remained ‘at the Day Kimball hospital Monday, resting quietly af- ter being injured’in an automobile ae- cident near Wilsonville, Sunday fore- noon.

Joseph Montaine and Henry Bowen, Dboth of Chepachet, were the other passengers in the car. Montain es- caped without injury when the car somersaulted in going over the em- bankment, but Bowen was cut about the face by flying glass from the windshield.
