REDUCED REPRESENTATION
 AT REPUBLICAN CONVENTION Call for Next National Convention Will Be on New Basis-s Less DeIeuates,

New York, Oct. z5,-A bitter fight
 waeed since 1880 to reduce the rep
 resentation of southern states in re-
 publican national conventions has been
 won. Charles D. Hilles, chairman of
 the republican national committed, an-
 nounced today that the call for the convention Of 1916 would be on the new basis which reduces the number of delegates by s9. Most of this loss falls or the south.
 The plan. proposed at the, annual meeting of the national committee in Washington last December, was made effective, MT. Hilles said, through its | ratification by conventions in states which cast majority of votes in the present electoral college, a condition | to it's adoption separately by the conn., | mittees.
 | Every state convention held sinos | last December. gave it's assent to the plan except that in Texas, which re- | jected it. The states which adopted it cast 2e0 of the total of 531 votes in
 majority. Approval was given by | conventions in Arkansas, California | Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maine. Massachusetts, Michi-
 gan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, | North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, see, Vermont, Washington and West | Virginia.
 | In the next national convention of l the delegation of Alabama will be re- duced by eight, Arkansas by three,
 Florida four. Georgia eleven. Louisiana
 eight, Mississippi eight, New York two,
 North Carolina three, South Carolina
 seven, Tennessee seven, Texas six | teen, Virginia eight Hawaii four. Por- | to Rico two and Philippine Islands two. | "The new plan," said Chairman | Hilles, twill eliminate conflicts be- tween the rules of the party and the | laws of the several states and will | reduce the number of contesting dele cations The system of unequal nu-
 merical representation, against many ! states constantly contended, was the
 legacy of years ago of political custom l and therefore if any way identified | with the convention of 1912"

BRITISH FLEET CONTINUE.
 FORWARDING GERMANS
Firing Was Kept Up Without Inter-
 mission for Twelve Hours

Dover. via London. Oct. 25. 1O:35 Q. m.-The British fleet chose Trafalgar day (October 21) to commence the bombardment of the Germans advanc- ing along the Belgian coast. Firing started at in the morning and con- tinued without intermission for 12 hours. The range of the ships guns enabled them to shell the German trenches three miles inland, and they did great execution to the batteries placed amid the sand dunes. They destroyed a German field battery, dis persed a. German bridging train which had been assembled to force crossing of the Yser, blew up an ammunition train, killed General vonsSTrip and all of his staff west of Westende and compelled the Germans to evacuate their positions before Nieuport
 The firing was so rapid that some guns discharged IA projectiles per minute. At the end of the day the | whole coast from Nieuport to West ende, which had been strongly held l by the enemy, was completely evacu-
 ated. It is, reported that on that day
 alone the Germans lost 4,o00 killed and wounded.

GERMAN AERoPLANES DROP
 BOMBS IN WARSAW
On One Aay A Persons Were Killed,
 on Another 63

London, Oct. e5.-"Tne German cam paign with aeroplane bombs against Warsaw has been rather effective, says the Warsaw correspondent of Reuters Telegram company. "On one day A people were killed or wounded, and of these only nine were soldiers. On another day there were 62 casual ties. No soldiers were injured at that
 time, but many children who were
 drawn into the streets by curiosity were struck. Bach aeroplane, appar-
 ently. has an equipment of five bombs,
 which are fired at intervals in the flight across the city.
 According to innformatfon g1eaned
 from prisoners. aeroplane raids on London are impending.
 From all accounts, the Germans for some time were under the deiusion that they would be welcomed in War saw and therefore started the drop ping of bombs from aeroplanes con- paratively late in the fighting. Relatively few prisoners have been taken in the fighting along the Vistula | This Is explained by the mutual hat red of the contestants and their deter | imitation to come to mortal clutches | During 6 fight at Rashin. near l Warsaw, the Germans were strongly l entrenched in the forests. The Rus. sia.ns set fire to the woods, smoking 1 the Germans out, and then turned theil l artillery on them"

GERMANY'S RIGHT TO
 LAND TROOPS IN CANADA.
German Ambassador Says It Would Not be Violation of the Monroe Doctrine.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Germany's right to land troops in Canada if pos sible and thus secure at least a temp orary foothold on the American con- tinent was upheld today by Count von Bernstoff, German Ambassador here, who declared this would not be a viola ton of the Monroe Doctrine. The Am bassador suggested that, as Canada was sending soldiers to Europe to
 fight against his country, the United States should not consider it in any sense an infringement on the Monroe Doctrine if Germany should land an armed force on Canadian soil.
 Discussing his now uch-ta1ked of note of September 3 to the State De- partment here, he explained the att titude of the German Government toward the Monroe Doctrine and giving assurances that Germany was not contemplating any South American colonization scheme in event of victory over the allies, the ambas ssador said that only South America was referred to at that time, because there had nev- CT been any question raised as to the possible German attempts to seek colonization in any part of the Ameri- can himsphere

London. Oct. 25-"Ail the allies must take their hats off to the Beig1an army, which for several days has been holding in check two entire German army corps near Dixmude and Calais, says a dispatch to the Times from one of it's correspondents in northern France. The message continues:
 sIt is now permitted to explain how the Belgian army was able to take UP position on the, Yser canal. In otner words, how 1t was able to make suc- cessful retreat from Antwerp in face of the elaborate plans of the Germans. The Belgian army escaped what might be felt amounted to annihilation, Dy a magnificent feat of arms. It sent a force of few thousand men to the neighborhood of Mullen Gin East Flanders, 12 miles southwest of Ghent) with orders to hold back the pursuing enemy at all costs, for a sufficient per- iod to cover the retreat of the main army, which hugged the Dutch from tier on it's seaward march. The bat the virtual annihilation of the gallant little body of Belgian fighters. but il meant the salvation of the Belgian , army and their allies.
 "The situation of the Belgians ano French at Dixmude has undergone 2 1 change for the better in the past few 1 days. This does not mean, however 1 that the Germans are on the run. Mucf water will run through the Yser ba fore the Germans will definitely aban

John Redmond Says Ireland Will Main tain Her Place as Fighting Ma tion.

Belfast, Ireland, via London, Oct 25, SIP D. m.--Addressing meeting of Irish volunteers today. John E. Red mond, the Irish Nationalist leader, said that when the Irish government came into being the volunteers must be absolutely at the disposal of that government and he declared that in spite of emigration Ireland would maintain her place as a fighting na- tion.
 "Ireland's rights said MT. Red mond, "are not to be defended mere ly within the Irish shores. If the man. hood of Ireland refused to strike a blow where real fighting is going on, the country would be covered with disgrace. Ireland would be humiliated if after the war it had to be admit ted that the safety and liberties of Ireland had been guarded by the sac rifices of other men, while Irishrnen remained at home and took none of the risks"
 Thirty-f1ve thousand men from all parts of Ireland have joined the army since the beginning of the war, MT Redmond added.
