LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Tom Longs Statement.

To the Editor of The Age Herald
The reports being printed by many of
the amendment papers of the state in the
form of an affidavit that, in a speech de-
livered at Lincoln, Ala, on November IL,
referred to any lady wearing white rib
bon as having spots on her character is
an infamous falsehood, and is being cir
culated solely for political effect, trusting
thereby to aid the amendment I did say,
and now repeat that some of the men
who are wearing white ribbons and were
present for no other purpose than to in
terfere with my speaking, had spots on
their characters as big as saddle blankets.
No man has a higher regard for the good
women of our state, and / respect their
good motives and purposes. | did not
at Lincoln or at any other place make
any reflection on any woman. Yours
truly, It. l.. LONG.

ANOTHER VICTORY
FOR NICARAGUA
Government troops Defeat the
Revolutionary Forces
DAV!LA WIRES MESSAGE
General Estrada, Who Leads the Reb-
els, Will Make Desperate Strug-
gle to Regain Lost Ground
Against Odds.

Puerto Cortez, Honduras, November
10, via New Orleans, November 16.-As
many conflicting accounts of recent en-
gagements between the revolutionary
and government forces in Nicaragua
have been reported here, the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent today wired
President Davila of Honduras for the
latest official news from Nicaragua
and received the following reply:
."Tegucigalpa, November 10.-An-
swering your telegram l beg to in
form you that the government of Mica
ragua has communcat ted to this gov
eminent another triumph over the revo-
lutionary forces at the junction of the
River Colorado and River San Juan,
where General Salvador Toledo in u
battle that lasted three days, defeated
and dislodged General Eniiliano Cha
MORO. The government troops now
occupy Greytown.
This information you can construe
as verified, otherwise 1 would not
transmit 1t because falsehoods are re-
pugnant to me and serve no good pur-
pose. M. r. DAVILA."
General Chamorro is believed to have
about 500 men, while the Nicaraugan
forces number about 1900, aside from
garrisons at Bluef1elds, Greytown, and
Cabo Gracios.
1t is probable that General Chamor-
ro has fallen back to effect junction
with the army that General Estrada is
leading. 1t is conceded here that al
though General Estrada will make a
desperate struggle to regain lost
ground, odds against him are great.
Washington, November 1.-THE story
of a plan of President Zalaya that
went wrong is told in report re-
ceived tonight by the Nicaraguan lega
ton.
Some time ago, according to this re-
port, President Zelaya chartered the
Norwegian steamship Dictator, a craft
of 1900 tons, at New Orleans whence
she sailed for Greytown. 1t was the
purpose of the president to have the
vessel there to meet the forces of
General Salvador Toledo, take them
aboard flush from anticipated victory
over the revolutionists and convey
them to Bluef1elds, there to attack and
seize the city.
This scheme, however, failed to work
out, due to the interference of the revo-
lutionists.
Under General Chamoro, according to
the report, they administered a defeat
to General Toledo, attacked and cap
tured the Dictator Sand proceeded to
utilize her in blockading Greytown, in
which, according to the legations ad-
vices, the revolutionists now have Cen
eral Toledo and the remnant of his
forces besieged.
Three small vessels held by the revo-
1utionists are helping the Dictator IN
n Of los 90 nj n a

yesterday, the applicant be-
ing c. F. Erstad of Mitchell, who gave
his height as six feet one and one
half inches, and his weight 2S5 pounds,
and he thinks with his size and weight
he will be able to hold down a quar-
ter section in good shape if he secures
on in the drawing. The registration of
today is largely eastern people, who
were arriving on excursion rates, and
the probabilities are for a dropping off
after today, which will probably go
close to the registration of yesterday,
which wen over a thousand.
"The people of the western part of
the state do not appear to be taking
as much interest in the registration
as do those from the eastern part.
Those who come from the Black Hills
to get in the registration line being
few in numbers. If the present ave
rage keeps up, the registration for
the first week will run just about five
thousand here, and the c~hances-are
that the registration of next week will
be lower"

DELINEAToR FOR NOVEMBER.

Every college student in the United
States should read "My Ideal of a
True University" by President Wood
row Wilson of Princeton University
in the Delineator for November. DR..
Wilson's view of education in its high
est and largest meaning is inspiring.
Another article of educational interest
is eff the Japanese Should Rear Your
Children" by Adachi Kinnosuke, who
gives the people of our Occidental civ
ilization much to think about. Ken
tucy's Fight for an Education" by
Mabel Potter Daggett, is a remarkable
social study. 1t tells what southern
women can do when they concentrate
their efforts on a public movement.
In this November number the Rev.
Edward Tallmadge Root, discusses
"The Alleged Decline in Church At
tendance" and supplies statistics that
are not altogether discouraging to
American church-goers.
Rudyard K%ipling's shor story, "The
Wrong Thing" the third Of the re-
markable series written for the De-
~lineator, is fascinating; it will be read
not once but many times. There are
two other unusual short stories, "The
Clearing Bridal" by Edward Lucas
White and THE Race" by Alice
Brown. Grace MacGowan Cookies
serial, "The Power and the Glory"
Is continued.
The fashions for the month are re-
viewed and charminly illustrated and
