cided to excavate the roadway to the

The Union government is in ex-

DEMOCRATS REVOLT
OUT IN CHRISTIANA
lContinued from First Page.l

other voters in that district When
the Democratic primaries were held
there on AugIs. ?, not vote was cast
in that district, although the five
election officers remained at the polls
from o'clock in the afternoon until
seven o'clock in the evening. The
election officers themselves did not
vote and the ballot box was returned
to the Democratic headquarters with
out a vote in it. All the ballots we're
likewise returned.
This lack of interest aroused the
County Committee, and representa-
tives we're sent into the district to
ascertain what caused this snubbing
Of the Salisbury machine. Interviews
were held and from all sides came
the report that the Democrats of the
district were in revolt Word was
sent to the County Committee to the
effect that the knitting Of the party
candidate for gubernatorial honOrs
two years ago had not been forgotten.
Some voters of the district also
drew the attention of the Democratic
party leaders that a similar trick had
been played on Peter j. Ford, when
he was a candidate for Governor
several years ago.
When Mr. Dorman was spoken to
yesterday about the open revolt, he
refused to talk for publication, say
ing that he would sooner tell man
to his face what he thought Of him
than to resort to newspaper criti-
cism. He made it plain, however,
that Chairman Salisbury had better
not approach him on the subject un-
less he wanted to hear facts.
The feeling of the voters against
Senator Willard Salisbury is also
keen, they pointing out that Senator
Salisbury did not take the stump for
former State Senator Monaghan in
his campaign like he (Senator Sauls-
bury has taken at this time for Con-
gresham Brockson, who is seeking
reelection.
AS a result of the Democrats not
voting at their primaries many are
said to have voted at the Republican
primaries and it is predicted that
they will vote the same way at the
election on Tuesday. At all events
the Salisbury machine is greatly
alarmed at the dissension and fear
/ for its outcome.

TODAY'S MOVES
IN The WAR zone:
WHAT They MEAN
BY J. w. II. MASON,
Former European Manager of the
United Press.

NEW YORK, Oct 2S.-(11 a. M
The mutiny of General De Wet and
General Beyers in the Union of South
Africa is a more serious affair than
the initial revolt led by Lieutenant
Colonel Maritz. De Wet and Beyers
have far higher qualities of leader
ship than Maritz possesses and their
prestige is capable of exerting more
pressure on the Beers to join the up
rising. Nevertheless, the chances are
very much against serious conse-
quences following the attempted rev.
olution. At most, the British troops
In South Africa may have to be kept
within their own boundaries during
the war, this possibly saving the
German colonies from capture
The attitude of Portugal will play
an important part in the development
of the situation. Eleven thousand
Portuguese toops are believed to
have been taken to South Africa on
British transports since war began.
Germanys invasion of Angola indi-
Gates Berlin's belief that the troops
are destined for use against the Ger
man colonies, to forestall which, Ger
many has begun an offensive cam
paign against Portuguese possessions
The Portuguese probably will not
be used to suppress the South Afri-
can uprising unless the situation be-
comes very serious. They will doubt
less be sent into German East and
West Africa TO prevent German assist
ance being sent to the Beers and to
prepare the way for British opera
lions If the Boer revolt can be quick
" suppressed.
Three considerations work against
the success of the Maritz-De Wet
. Beyers mutiny. The time that has
elapsed since the Boer war has given
an opportunity for the Beers 70 COM
pare their greater prosperity under
present conditions than under the
Kruger regime Secondly, the Beers
are not hero-worshipers They are
individualists, which fact made them
such remarkable guerrilla fighters
during their war against England
fourteen years ago.
The same trait will now work to
cause each Boer, very largely, to
make up his own mind for himself
in the present crisis. Despite the
prestige Of De Wet and Beyers. the
Beers probably will not be stampeded
INTO mutiny en- masse.
The final, and without doubt the
most important fact that will operate
against serious revolt. is the full
government Great Britain has
Granted TO the Beers. The Rritisb
possessions in South Africa wbere
brltons predominate among the vh,te
population, have been united win IN,
Iransvaal and the Orange River 90,
ony, where the Beers so far outnnn,
her the Britons as to give them
racial majority in the South Africa'
government In actual fact, therefor,
despite the British victory in IN
South African war. the Beers no
rule the Britons there, under a pal
liamentary regime.
The Beers possess as much freedom
in fact. as If they were wholly il
dependent, and they enjoy create
prosperity and have their freedol
guaranteed without charge by n
British imperial forces. These eli
cumstances seem 70 lead to the col
clusion hat the present revolt wi
be largely confined 10 those Boer
who have personal. and not nationa
sr1aEes and spite to repay.

they had sufficient protection from the

Many were killed before the Germans,
unable longer to withstand the cold
steel, finally surrendered the positions

LONDON, Oct. 2s.-The Rotterdam
correspondent of the Daily Mail places
the losses Of the Germans in the severe
lighting, which he says, has eliminated
in their being showed bacl, north of the
User, at l6 600 killed and 10000 wound
ed or prisoners.
Probably never before in the history
OF war" says the correspondent, have
contending forces fought with equal
iieroeness. The Germans crossed the
User under the fercest of machine gum
and light artillery fire, which moved
down many of their men. BY sheer
weight of numbers they managed to
push their lines across the shallow river
and took positions on its bank. But
