The June primaries will be held to-

In the cities in the county from Z a.

hinges the election in November.
The primary ticket is big one,
comprising state. county and town

United States senate. On this page
will be found sample ballot of state

Because of the size OF the ticket,
the number Of officers to be voted

will be tedious affair. 1t is prob

may be estimated by late Monday
night. While The Gate City will no:
display results as in the city election.
the Office will receive returns as fast
as it is possible to secure them 1t
Is not likely that very much will be
known OF the result by Monday night.
Non Partisan Ticket.
There are number of interesting
things connected with this primary
tomorrow. The non-paartisan judic-

are urged not to forget the non-part-

of the party ticket voted. Or II a
person does not wish to declare a

may ask for separate inon-partisan

While 1t is admitted that these are

any army should take, It Is believed
certain here that the Germans have pre-
pared a haven TO which their entire

the Allies, can take refuge. The Ger

ceived by the Belgian General STAFF say,
are being built with unusual strength
and are plainly intended for winter

ANTWERP ASSAULT PLANNED.
There are also indications that the Ger
mans are again planning an attempt TO
attack Antwerp. Should they be forced
back into Belgium this will be absolutely
necessary, as. even though they should
mask the fortihcations with a strong
army. they would at all times be sub
jected to the danger of aerial attack and
would also be unable to conceal any
strategic moves from the eyes OF the
British and Belgian aviators who could
use the city as base.

RETIRED MUSIC TEACHERS
HOME DEDICATED TODAY
Event Marked by Tributes to Those
Who Devote Lives to Art.

A Home for Retired Music Teachers
was dedicated this afternoon at johnson
and Jefferson streets, Germantown. The
institution has been created through the
generosity of Theodore Presser, a music
publisher in this city, who conceived the
idea of providing a home for those men
who. after having devoted their entire
lives in faithful and unselish work for
the art of music, not infrequently find
themselves helpless in their old age.
The exercises at the dedication were
simple. All those who made addresses
took the opportunity. in the brief space
OF a few moments, to pay tribute TO the
music teachers of the world The Rev.
Herman L. Duhring. who took for his sub
ject the relation OF music to religion.
spoke OF the part it plays in bringing
man closer to God. Mayor Blankenburg
spoke of the relation of music and the
music teacher to the community. Others
who made addresses were Hugh A.
Clark, John" c. FTcund, and Charles
Heber Clark
Madame Maud Powell. David Bispham
and Henri Scott, noted soloists, gave a
number of musical selections.
Mr.. Presser. in an address at the dedl-
cation ceremonies, speaking of the object
and purpose of the institution which he
has founded. said:
LAS class. music teachers do not ac-
cumulate worldly possessions. They ar
rive at time in life when their useful
ness ends after a life spent in education

then with great joy and thankfulness
that we can. In a measure, at least,
provide for the protection of these music
teachers. who, as a class OF workers. ars

A battle which already mas been in

That is the only place where the Aus
trians have been able 10 secure foot
hold on Servian SOL, although they have

sides have suffered enormous losses, and
every house in Krupani has been turned

is TO put fresh men at various lines.
As result Won Kluks army is ad-
mittedly now most formidable.
However, while admitting these
facts, the British military officials say
there is no reason for Encouragement.
They again referred today to the sim
Iarity between the present battle and
the situation presented in the Russo
japanese war, insisting that while the
Germans were able 70 maintain their
lines and by the sacrifice OF hundreds
Of men to advance at certain points.
they were not at any place in a posi-
tion to break the French line, now

eral Joffre has thrown a large part OF

these fresh troops, aided by the fresh
British troops that have just reached

To the south of Verdun a heavy
French force. sent northward from
Nancy and Toul, is pressing vigor-
ously against the army of Crown Prince
Ruprecht of Bavaria. Attack follows
attack in quick succession.
The value of German strategy is
becoming more and more apparent. 1t
now seems certain that the Germans
did not intend to hold the heights i'm
mediately north OF the Aisne, as the po-
sition to which they have fallen back
is infinitely stronger. The key to the |
position OF the German right is a nat |
ural horseshoe of stone quarries ex-
tending around the Oise from Girau- |
mont and Antheuit to Machemok. The |
whole position is marked by Mont |
Gauelon, opposite Compiegne, from |
which the steep sides of a plateau ex-
tend toward the northeast and the |
southeast.
There seems to be evidence for the |
belief that General Jofrre, the French |
commander-in-chief, and Field Mar |
shall Sir John French, the British |
commander, are ralying all their
strength for a final effort against the
German lines. Every available man
is being sent to the front, while the
commanders of the allied troops on
the two wings have been ordered to
redouble their eXertions in their ef-
forts to turn the German fanks.
The schemes of the German General
Staff, of course, are secret, but mill
tary men who have so far studied the
German campaign believe that it is
the object of the kaiser's forces to
allow the Allies to wear themselves out |
