SITUATION OF ALLIES

cuy AsscciAIsp pnuas,

LONDON, Oct. 19.From
the point of view of the allied
army SO far as could be learned
from dispatches, reaching here
today, the situation In West
Flanders as in France as far
south as Lille seemed perhaps
more hopeful than at any, time
since the German advance on
Paris was checked.
Though the news reaching
England is meager all tidings
seem to indicate that the Ger
man advance from Ostend on
the French coast towns has been
blocked temporarily at least
while further south in region
that was week ago the extreme
German right the invaders have
been again compelled to give
ground before the allies wedge
force which has been concentrat-
ing on Lille. Several reports
contend that the Germans have
withdrawn from this town but
this is not confirmed nor is the
report that they evacuated
Courtrai. It seems plain, how
ever, that the menace here grew
marked and that the German
army operating along the coast
of Flanders found itself in peril
of being cut off from the main
body.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Oct. t.
"The most important question con-

in this campaign Is the election Of a
Republican legislature" was the dec

discussing the political situation. It
Will be remembered that in 1912. when
he was q Republican nominee for gov

this same matter, taking the stand
that it was more important to elect a
Republican legislature than 1t was to
elect him governor.

Mr.. Willard called attention to the
decision Of the commission in the Tor

..the net operating income OF the
railroads in official classification ter
rftory is smaller than is demand
ed in the interest of both the gener-
al public and the railroads ana 10
the fact that the railroads had al
ready taken action to secure aooi-
tional revenues through various az
yances and changes of practice, but
added Mr.. Willard, .the measures o.:
relief proposed by the commission
Will not In our opinion adequately
meet the existing situation
Among other things Mr.. Willard
said:
.aThe annual statements of all the
railroads involved in this proceed
ing combined for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1914. show roundiy
that the total operating revenues
during the year were approximately
$4,000, 900 less than during the
nreyious year, while the operating
expenses during the same period,
were approximately $22.OOO,eo0
greater.
1.-The net operating income Of
these companies for the. same period
amounted to $3.50 100000, OF ap-

allowed. The request will be filed
with the Interstate Commerce Com

raising the rate from two 10 two and
one-fourth cents a mile
To compensate the public for the In

age can be used They declare this
will offset the inconvenience that
will arise from the increase in the
mileage rate.

Magistrate Charles w. Nickerson held
an all-day session of court yesterday.
He was assisted by three interpreters
and Constable Wright. When the clouds
cleared away the magistrate directed
six men to pay the costs of cases.
Mike Petruck, Mike Bellisoviski, Leon
Hibner, Nick keuchriski, Frank Boloski
and Harry Domesuch were charged with
assault and battery on Andy Scado and
Alexander GarnislSi As stated in THE
EVENING JOURNAL yesterday, these
men were arrested on Tuesday night on
the charge Of waylaying two other men.
Constable Wright kept his big au-
tomobile running between the court
house and Dobbnsvile and the office OF
Magistrate Nicketoon was crowded with
witnesses The testimony went TO show
that while Scado and Garniski were go
ing home on Tuesday night following
the trial of the Louisa Garniski case
they were waylayed and beaten. Owing
TO darkness It was difficult TO identify
the assailants but the fact that they
were in the crowd and participated in
the disorder was sufficient TO cause each
to pay the costs, which were heavy.
John Smith was arraigned ON a charge
Of using a brick on Garniski's head. This
case was dismissed.
The finishing touches will be put on
the booths for the lawn fete today and
everything will be ready for the oc-

ANTI-SUFFRAGE NOTES
IEdlted By An Anti-suffragist.)

New Zealand. Australia and Colo
rado are all suffrage paradises," but
a writer in the Survey" calls atten-
ton to the fact that New Zealand finds
It impossible to attract immigration,
that the population of Australia has
not increased one per cent. in ten
years, and that Colorado is the only
State in the uniol without a Republi-
can form of government, order being
maintained by United States troops.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN AUSTRALIA
In view of the constant claims made
by suffraeists as to the wonderful sue
cess of woman suffrage in Australia,
the following testimony is of especial
interest. It was given at a meeting
in London by Mrs. Vickery, a proml-
nent worker in the cause Of social re-
form in New South Wales, who has
come to Europe to attend the Interna-
tional Congress of Women. Mrs. Wick
cry said:
am not against woman suffrage in
principle, but I wish to tell you how
little it has done in New South Wales.
My experience there is that the edu-
Gated women as a whole .h;nk very
little about the vote and ignore their
responsibilities in connection with il.
In spite of all the efforts tnat are
made to arouse women's interest in
politics, the greater portion Of the fe-
male clerks and professional girls
will not take the trouble to go to the
