NEW YORK PRIMARY.
Parties Hold First Direct Primaries
in Great State.

New York states first direct pri.
mary Monday resulted in the expect
ed victory for all the candidates on
the Democratic and Republican cor
ganization" State tickets. The count
was slow, owing to the length of the
ballot, the number of crosses to be
made and the novelty Of the whole
procedure. At midnight these results
were Indicated:
Charles S. Whitman is nominted
by the Republicans for governor by
big lead over Tarvey D. Hillman,
with Job Hedges third. The Repub-
lican nominee for the United States
Senate seems to be James W. Wads-
worth Jr., the Barnes organization
candidate. His upstate strength was
more than enough to Offset the fdel-
ity Of the Republicans to William NJ.
Cadler. DR.. David Jayne Hill, the
other candidate, appears to be bad
third.
Gov. Glynn has been renominated
by the Democrats despite the attacks
of John A. Hennessy, and James W.
Gerard is the Democratic choice for
United States senator over Franklin
D. Roosevelt and James S. McDo-
nough.
Progressive figures were few at
midnight, but while Frederick M.
Davenport, the choice Of Col. Roose-
yelt and the organization, seemed to
BE in the lead several industrial dis
tricts voted almost solidly for Will
liam Suizer and the result was in
doubt. The Progressive candidate
for senator, cambridge Colby, was
unopposed. Sulzer had no opponent
as the prohibition candidate for gov
ernor.

WILLING FOR PEACE.
Great Britain Ready as Soon as Con
flict is Decisively Settled.

A desire on the part Of the British
officials to be relieved of response
bility for declining to entertain pro-
posals looking to the restoration Of
peace in Europe is believed by state
department heads to be the explana-
ton Of dispatches from London indi-
eating Great Britain will be glad at
the proper moment to accept the
good Offices of the United States.
British officials have taken notice
of the many appeals for peace pro-
posals directed to President Wilson
from various sources in the United
States. AS understood here the Brit
ish officials are reluctant to be placed
in the position of rejecting any over
lures.
At the same time, while officials
believe the British government is
willing to have it known unoficially
that at the proper time it will well
come peace overtures, they think that
time, as indicated recently by Sir Ed
ward Grey, will not arrive until the
conflict has been settled so decisively
that there is no longer possibility
of the same issues arising again.

There are those who think thai
being President OF the United States
is an attractive way Of spending a
four years vacation, but they know
little about the arduous duties that
| confront the chief executive. Every
thing is referred to him. We were
amused and impressed by the follow

| Is there trouble anywhere in the
big round world? Tell it to Uncle
Woodrow Wilson, President Of the
United States Of America.
Is the Southern cotton farmer un-
able to market his cotton crop? Tell
it to Uncle Woodrow and ask him to
help.

"buckle and tongue meet?" Send a
committee to Washington to lay the
matter before Uncle woodrow.
Are the people of Colorado tired of
the mine war, Call on Uncle Wood
row to bring the warning factions to

Are American manufacturers un-
able to market their wares? Ask
Uncle Woodrow to provide govern
ment ships.
Is congress uncertain about what
is best to be done in matters rang
ing from antitrust legislation to the
details Of a war tax? Call at the
White House and ask Uncle Wood

Woodrow about it.
Is Austria outraged by the brutali-
ties Of the Russian invader? Cable a

PRAISE FOR HOME TOWN.
"The knocker is Mighty Poor As
set to Community"

There are few things more dis
couraging than to hear person dis
paraging and criticizing the town in
which he lives. Loyalty to the home
town is one Of the prerequisites of
good citizenship and it is true always
that the best citizen, the one who is
most valuable to the community, is
not the one who is constantly COM
planning and citicizing, but is the
one who, with CHEEKY smile and pleas
ant word of greeting for all, always
has q good word to say for the town
and if some things are displeasing,
puts forth his best efforts to enlist
the aid of the citizens in correcting
the faults
The k2ocker is a mighty poor as
set to the community. even though
he may be large taxpayer. The
man who boosts, day in and day out,
who forgets the disagreeable things
and talks only the advantages of his
home town, is the one who is helping
to make the town better and brighter
and to add to its attractiyeness, even
though his bank account be small
and his opportunities for helping in
financial way be limited.

ESPIONAGE OF GERMANS
SPIES PLAY LEADING PART IN
MILITARY OPERATIONS.
English Official Account Tells Of MUIR
derous Fire Poured by Germans
Into Their Troops in Night Attack.

An official account of British oper-
ations in France for September 2l
and % was given out Tuesday.
"Sirce the last letter left general
headquarters evidence has been re-
ceived which points to the fact that
during counter-attacks on the night
OF Sunday, the Goth, the German in
fantry fred into each other as the re-
suit of an attempt to carry out con-
yerging advance in the dark.
Espionage plays so large a part
in the conduct of the war by the Ger
mans that it is difficult to avoid fur
ther reference to the subject. In
deed, about twenty years ago, there
was paragraph in their field service
of protection IN the field'-e. g., out
posts and advance guards-always
should be supplemented by system
of espionage.
Though such instructions are nc
longer made public, the Germans Still
carry them into effect. Apart from
the more elaborate arrangement
made in peace time for obtaining in.
formation by paid agents, some of the
methods which are being employed
for the collection or conveyance of IN
telligence are as follows:
"Men in plain clothes signal to the
German lines from points in the
hands Of the enemy by means Of col.
ored lights at night and puffs o1
smoke from chimneys in the fields
by day. Pseudo laborers working II
the fields between the armies have
been detected conveying information
and persons in plain clothes have
acted as advanced scouts to the Ger
man cavalry.
German officers and soldiers II
plain clothes, or in French or British
uniforms, have remained in localitie:
evacuated by the Germans, in order
to furnish them with intelligence.
lone spy of this kind was found
by our troops hidden in a church
tower. His presence was discovered
only through the erratic movement:
of the hands Of the church clock
which he was using to signal to hi:
friends by means of an improriset
semaphore code.
women spies also have beer
caught; secret agents have beer
found at the railroads observing en-
trainment and detrainments. 1t is {
simple matter for spies to mix with
the refugees moving about to thei1
homes; difficult for our troops, wht
speak neither French or German, tt
detect them.
1.-THE French have found it neces
sary to search villages and also casua
wayfarers on the roads for carrier
pigeons. Amongs the precaution:
taken by US to guard against spying
is the publication Of the following
notice, printed in French:
"(1) Motor cars and bicycles no
carrying soldiers in uniforms may no
circulate on the roads.9
"(2) The inhabitants may mo-
leave the localities where they reside
between 6 p. m. and 6 a. m.
"(3) Inhabitants may not qIi'
their homes after s p. m.
ago No persons may on any pre-
text pass through the British line:
without an authorization, counter
signed by a British officer. "

TAKES SIX MORE.
German Cruiser Emden Hitting Eng.
ish Ships in Southern Seas.

The British admiralty announced
Tuesday that the German cruiser En-
den, during the past few days, has
captured and sunk in the Indian
Ocean the British steamers Tumeric,
King Lud, Riberia and Foyle, and
captured the collier Bursk.
The crews of the above vessels
were transferred to the steamer Cry
fedale, which also was captured, but
later released in order to take the
crews to Colombo.
The previous official British site
ment dealing with the activities of
the German cruiser Emden, issued
September 20, told of the capture Of
six British steamers in the Bay Of
Bengal and the sinking of five Of
them.
After creating havoc among the
British shipping at Calcutta the En-
den went to Rangoon. She was re-
ported recently at Madras, where she
conducted brief bombardment of
that port, and later at Pondicherry.

cit is not a war; it is holocaust.
The greatest slaughter in the worlds S

learns the price that has been paid

That is the way the war is viewed
by the Rev. James Malloy, an Amer
lean who has a Catholic parish on
North Island, New Zealand, and who
arrived in New York last week on the
steamship Mauritania. He went to
France as chaplain in the army OF
Gen. Sir John French.

From there we went to Mons, where
ive days after we had left London,
the real fighting began. The British
were driven back, following a retire,
ment on the part of the French, by
the superior numbers of Germans
The German advance was slow be-
cause Of fear of the Germans for the
cold steel Of the British soldiers.
1.-THE rife fire Of the British was
whitening, but the effect Of the ter
rible shells of the German siege guns
was indescribable. Nothing could
withstand them. At that, the English
soldiers hesitated to obey the order
to fall back, and had to be told it was
part of prearranged plan.
'At Senlis the right wing of the
German army turned in the nick OF
time, for had the Germans waited
twenty-four hours longer they would
have been annihilated by reinforce
ments to Gen. Pau. The English ar
tillery did awful execution. The Ger
mans thought they could oVerwheln

at night. The aircraft flashed signals
with lights to the troops telling them

British artillery would open fire. The
aeroplanes proved most valuable as
they could locate the men in the
trenches.

EDWARD CARSON DEFIANT.
Ulster Mill Prevent Inclusion In
Home Rule Bill.

Sir Edward Carson issued a state
ment Monday afternoon bitterly at
tacking the British government for
pushing the home rule bill through
while the country was at war and de-
claring that Ulster will prevent her
inclusion within the scope of the bill
by force of arms if necessary.
However, since the operation Of
the law has been suspended for the
period of the war, the Ulster leader
said there is no necessity for imme-
diate action, but he added:
when the war ends the Unionist
Council proposes to demand that the
government repeal all sections Of the
home rule bill that apply to Ulster.
II it does not then the Ulster provi-
sional government will direct her vol
unteers to prevent home rule ever be-
coming effective in Ulster

NEW PRETEXT FOR WAR
CRISIS IN ALBANIA MAY LEAD
ITALY INTO WAR.
Senate Elects Son of Pope and Popu-
lar Leader of Albania, Italian Fay-
orite, Starts Rebellion.


orite, Starts Rebellion.
The pot is boiling over once more
in Albania. The situation in that ar
tifcial principality became so serious
several days ago that Intervention by
Italy is not unlikely. There is no
doubt that such Intervention would
mean a declaration Of war by Austria.
Necessity for protecting Italian
interests in Albania" may furnish
the pretext Italy openly desires. for
taking sides in the war of the nations.
There is more than vague surmise to
justify this conclusion.
In Durazzo the Senate of Albania,
defying all of the powers, elected
Monday Prince Burhan-Edden, a son
of Abdul Hamid, deposed Sultan Of
Turkey, as Prince of Albania. The
Senate appointed a commission to go
to Constantinople and deliver the in
vitation to the Turkish prince. ST.
multaneous1y Essad Pasha,. the great
popular leader in Albania, prepared
to march on Durazzo with an army Of
$4,000. He has arrived at Dibra with
a force and is collecting an army for
the overthrow of the interregnum.
There is more than hint that
Essad is playing Italy's game; that
his new revolt is not only a develop
ment of Italy's policy of obstructing
Albanion nationality but is meant to
offer Italy an acceptable pretext for
definitely intervening in Albnian at
fairs. If Austria, as formerly, mus
ters strength to crush Essad, will
Italy support the Mohammedan lead
er? Such action, it is believed, could
not fail to mean war.
Essad is popular. in Italy and has
enjoyed the favor and protection of
the Italian government. When Aus
tria dispersed his forces and took him
prisoner, virtually, at the time Essad
was preparing to overthrow Prince
William of Wied, Italy interposed,
placed Essad on an Italian warship,
guarded him and later welcomed him
in Italian territory.
The pressure Of public opinion in
Italy increases. Every day finds the
governments position more delicate.
Every day the comments of inf1uen-
tial citizens and writer's is bolder,
more aggressive. Italy's army and
navy are ready. All that is needed
is a respectable pretext. This Al
banian affairs may now furnish.
Italy is informed Of Austrian pre-
parations in the Pola district where
100000 troops are believed to be
assembled ready to meet an Italian
attack. It can be stated, therefore,
that the complications are of the ut
most importance owing to the posi-
bility of Italian Intervention.

S72 AN ACRE ON GRAIN
CHEROKEE FARMERS SAY COT
TON NOT AS PROFITABLE.
Practical Demonstration Proves That
Two Acres Planted in Cotton
Clears Less Than One in Grain.


The farmers of this county and the
entire South will be called upon next
year to give up large part Of their
acreage which has been devoted to
cotton to some other crop. Already
the agricultural leaders Of our state
are advising and preaching the sub
stitution of grain for cotton, and by
doing this the farmers of our section
will be better off than if they had
planted cotton.
We are reprinting an experience of
a farmer in Cherokee county, which
shows that he made s72 clear on an
acre of land, which was sown with
oats, then with corn. He advises all
farmers to begin now sowing fall
oats. He sows his every September,
and farmers can do the same. The
article that follows was taken from

Sensational use of air craft in the

once carry out the provisions Of the
act of last July to increase the eff

army under so years Of age to apply
for details in this extrahazardous SER

per cent. increase in salary. Other
