Morris Explains.

Secretary Joe Morris OF the state
election board declared Monday that
if ballots did not reach every pre-
cinct in the state it was not the fault
Of the state board. The records in his
OFFICE, he said, show that ballots We're
checked out Of his office for every
precinct in the state, and that If they
did not reach their proper destina-
tion the fault lies somewhere other
than with the state election board
According to Mr. Morris more or
less difficulty is usually experienced
in the distribution Of ballots contain
ing state questions, which are sub
mittcd at general elections. In 1910
when the people voted on the recall
of the board OF agriculture, he says,
there were TO precincts which did
not secure ballots, notwithstanding
the fact that Ben W. Riley, who was
then secretary Of the board, sent a
letter TO each county election board
requesting that particular attention be
given to the distribution OF the ballots,
TO see that they reached every pre-
cinct.
It is understood that the request of
the attorney general to withhold an
uouuccment of the result is a precau.
tion against possible complications in
the litigation that is expected to en-
sue regarding the validity of the elec.
tion Qn the different questions.

Nate Lewis, manager Of Charley
White, refuses to allow him to box
before Tom Cdrey's Vernon club.
About four years ago when White
was a slender kid he lost decision
to Danny Webster in twenty-round
bout at Vernon, and McCarey dis
credited him as boxer by refusing
10 consider his application for a re
turn match In addition ne sent re
ports throughout the country that
White was no good and he never
could box before his club again. This
caused the Chicago boxer to lose
lots of matches and otherwise put
him in trouble Now that White
has become one of the greatest draw
ing cards in the world, McCarey
has changed his opinion and would
like to have White meet Ritchie,
Wclch. Cross or Joe Rivers, but White
positively refuses to accept any Of
fers from McCarey and will stick to
Cofroth.

Brussels, Aug. 1S.-The capital is
wild with terror. Thousands have
fed to Antwerp and other coast
cities. The machinery of the gov
ernment has been transferred to
Antwerp.
The queen and her two children
are probably refugees in England.
The ring wing of the Germans
seems to be attempting to cut off
the Belgian army from the main
body of the French.
A large German army is reported
to be marching directly upon Brus-
sells in a straight line from Huy, car
rying rapid firers on motor trucks.
The steady advance of the Ger
mans and urgent preparations for
the defense of the capital, cause
continual official announcements of
Belgian victories to be taken with
reserve.
"A big force of Germans is reported
at a point near Wavre, Is miles from
brussels.
There are strong indications that
the field of Waterloo may again see
a titantic struggle.
1t is reported that German caval-
ry has been seen north of Antwerp.
