Name Candidates for Po-
lice Magistrate.

Yesterdays primaries cost the city
of Moline a little more than SO each

OF the 5000 legal voters in this city,
only 293 were out, and of this number
SIS were judges of election. The total
cost of the primaries was 5000.
But according to word received from
Aurora this morning the Plow City
has it over on the Chicago suburb, for
in spite of the fact that the alder
manic nominees were named, only 81
votes were cast in that city, and 1t is
estimated that this costs Aurora S15
for each voter.
Frank Gustafson was nominated for
police magistrate on the democratic,
republican and peoples tickets here,
while David Harrah, progressive, and
H. c. Thomson, socialist, met with no
Police magistrate was the

Why Germans Gould
Not Maintain
Their Positions
(By Associated Press.)

Paris, Oct. 24.-The question
has been many times asked why the
Germans with their great numbers
and their overwhelming superiority
In artillery, after having broken the
resistance of the allies at Charleroi
and penetrated to the very gates or
Paris. were unable to maintain their
positions. The military science or
General Joffre certainly furnished
one reply to that question but q
military writer in the Liberte du
Sud thinks there is another In the
cumbersome character of the Ger
man heavy artillery.
The famous German mortars, the
"brummers," are capable of firing
14-inch shell as long as man OF
average height distance OF eight
miles. They were considered most
redoubtable before the war, and, In
fact. they did terrible execution on
l.he forts of Liege and other lorti-
fed positions, but since their entry
into France not much has been
heard from them excepting the ex-
ploits at Reims and at Mauburg.
| 1t has been discovered that this
immense fighting machine is nearly
as delicate in it's mechanism as 1t Is
| = ~
fire it, most of the gnnners being
!engineers from the Nrdpp works,
land when something happens to
them, as has been the case when
they have come within reach Of the
l"turcos," it is almost impossible to
REPLACE them. Besides, 1t is neces-
sary that the mortars be installed
lin a favorable position with we'll
laid foundations, consequently
when pre-arranged plans are dis
turbed their efficiency is greatly re-
duced 1t requires good roads also,
and even then it takes forty-horse
ipower to draw one of them, conse-
auently they do not fit in very well
with the equipment Of an army that
depends upon its speed to win, and
rainy weather, of course, Is not at
Iall good for them. Again, their ef-
fectiveness is neutralized when the
French "75" is able to get inside Its
long range, and 1t does not stand
, llong against the terrible hammerine
of which this gun is capable.
Finally, this expert thinks that In
i, !, case of a forced retreat most oil
these heavy mortars are likely to bt
