MANY VOTERS IN COUNTY STILL UNREGISTERED

Registration Board Urges Speeding up of Wayne County Voters. Several thousand voters of Wayne county, without respect to their party offillations, are Tery likely to receive the "surprise of their lives" when they go to the polls next November and attempt to vote. They will be met with absolute refusal from the election board because of the fact that they neglected i to register as required by law. Despite all warnings that have been given in Wayne county since early last spring, less than one-third of the voters thus far have registered. The Wayne county registration board is on duty daily, excepting Sundays and holidays, in the clerk's office at the court house. There Is no fee charged by the registration, board and the process requires but a few minutes of any voter's time. This is not a partisan affair, the registration board points out, and It is essential that the membership of all parties register. Failure means an absolute taking away of the voter's privilege of participating In the general election next fall. The final day for registration Is October 7, and the election takes place one month thereafter. Unless a speeding up process takes place very quickly, there is bitter dis appointment in store for many voters until election day arrives and they find they can have no part In the contests In case voters send for registration blanks, they may fill them out before a notary public at any place and mail the blank back to the registration board in Richmond. There are no exemptions. No matter where a voter may be temporarily. If he expects to vote In Wayne county next November, he must get his name on the registration roll before October 7. The day following will not do. Register now and be a voter next November.

LUDENDORFF, GERMANS' REAL LEADER, "DIABOLICAL GENIUS," SAYS ANOLYST

Whether or not General von Hindenburg Is dead or alive is not known. But General Ludendorff is conceded to be the real leader of the German military forces. Xlbert De Pouvourville of the. French colonial' council,' intelligence bureau points out this fact In a psychological study of Ludendorff, which has just appeared. The French author refers to the "diabolical genius of the man" and says the nature of his war game is "irony set In motion" and that "for him the interesting, the ' important thing, Is to fool his enemy, to set twaps for him. the more scientific the better." Here are the principal parts of De Pouvourvllle's study, translated from the French : x Ludendorff Is the type of general staff . officer, of logarithmetic strategist, of an inexorable and cool chess player. I have known this man very slightly in the usual way of social with him. Others have done the Intercourse. I have met him, talked same. If my knowledge ended there I would know him no better than they. But my knowledge does not end there. So I know him better at least differently. . .. Still I have some recollection of those personal Interviews. I recall In a somewhat condensed fashion an angular profile, a disquieting and roving eye, a wise, cool expression which owes much to a couple of hedges of stiff bristles on his upper lip, and at his aeck the flesh is forced into ridges by a too high and close collar. He was, and he freely admitted himself to be, an enigma. But he was at that time accompanied, like his shadow, by Captain von Spitz, a and rather exaggerated the attitudes of his master, but who, having the need of a couple of bottles of stout before he could sleep, became talkaitive after sunset. It is through thi3 von Spitz, who died at Heiden, on the Lake of Constance, from an attack of delerium tremens, that one could, at favorite intervals, decipher Ludendorff. As to Hindenburg. The conduct of men and events, secret authority over the armies, autocratic but ignorant direction of all that pertains to war, such is the role formerly coveted and now played by his stout eminence Hindenburg. The Jovelike marshal of the faTiiTion ! I talAa Cftmta a Kmif rrl o ham nvA onum ouuui, " i,here- shows himself everywhere, and ! covers all Germany with his monstrous dominating shadow. In this shadow, silent and fatal, Ludendorff works. .Here from the obscurity he manipulates the rods which lift the Teuton generalissimo, like a puppet, here and there, placing him at banquets, at the Imperial councils, and on the front with the troops. Meanwhile, in his own solitary and closed office, he bends over maps, logarithmic tables, makes his calculations and solves his problems. He plays his game of chess against an automaton of his own fabrication. He attempts to change destiny.. Such is the game played by this redoutable and consuming man who tries to observe the end before the end comes, who despises the noise of acclaim and the uselessness of glory. - . But the nature of this war game is unique. It is irony set in motion. To vanquish his enemy by sheer brute force appears to him to be an inferior and easy conception good enough for his general in chief and his sovereign. And with that these two are satisfied, and in his heart he despises them for it. His Idea of War. For him, the interesting, the important thing, is to fool his adver sary, to abuse him, to set traps tor him the more scientific the better into which, carried by his own stupid enthusiasm, credulity, or humanity even, he is almost certain to fall. And this does not, by any means apply to military strategy. Austerlitz and Auerstadt were evidently good strokes of strategy, but they do not provoke laughter or even a smile. They- are not sufficient for Ludendorff. who wishes, to amuse himself at his enemy's expense. No, Ludendorff is the complete gamester, who knows and utilizes his every chance, and who, with the same brain with which he conducts military strategy and sheds bhxd, conceives and manipulates diplomatic strategy and ISN'T IN IT COMPARED

Italians Escaped From Austrian Army on Way to Fight For Allies

Four hundred and fifty Italian soldiers passed through Richmond Monday morning on their way east. Technically they might have been termed deserters from the Austrian army, for they were the group of Italians living on Italian territory taken by Austria, who were forced to fight for the country they hated, and surrendeied to Russian soldiers in preference Once in Russia iheir one thought was to get back into the war, but only as soldiers of Italy. They obtained uniforms of the Italian army in Russia, and in a unit crossed Siberia, reached Japan, and crossed the Pacific ocean to the United States. On their trip across the United States to an eastern port they were accompanied by an American army officer,, and American and Italian flags were flown ccaches. They will sail from an eastern port 30 1918 SELECTS EXAMINED MONDAY Thirty selects in the 1918 draft were examined Monday at the court house. Thirty more will be examined Tuesday morning. The date for the examination Wednesday has been changed, and the men who were to be examined at that time will report for examination Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. TO THIS

It was he who planned the deliverance of. Eastern Prussia; it was he who organized the campaign in Galicia, it was he who maneuvered the npciers which crushed Serbia and then Rumania; it was he who, with the aid of a million lies as well as cannon shots, annihilated Russia. It was he who conceived, planned and executed the catastrophe on the Italian front. We are now going to see what he is worth in France. So far in Picardy he is hardly living up to his achievements gained elsewhere. to France, where they will probably join the Italian forces on the western front. A number pi Italian officers accompanied the men. The- Italian soldiers presented a happy and light-hearted appearance, and expressed their delight at being able to get back into the war under the flag of Italy. They were prevented by the American officer from discussing Iheir plans and experiences while in the city. The train on which they were making their trip east stopped in Richmond about five minutes.
