Great Britain's Field Marshals

From Answers, London. British field marshal never retires
 from the army. He may be placed on
 half pay. but Is still borne on the active list.
 j By the regulations there must not be | more than eight field marshals receiv- ing pay as such; that is exclusive of honorary field marshals. In our army:
 such as foreign kings, emperor
 and princes. Of the eight regular field
 mlrshals two must be selected from
 the Indian army.
 To become a field marshal an officer
 must be general officer. As has been mentioned. a field mar
 shal never retires: but, on the other
 hand. a retired general officer may he promoted to field marshal The fact that an officer is top of the general lis. does not necessarily mean that he will get the first vacant field marshafs haton for selection is made irrespective Of seniority.
 The field marshal commanding In the
 Mediterranean gets s25,000 a year.
 Probably a field marshal actively em- ploycd will get at least s15.000 year. This Is better than the pay of an ad- mral of the fleet. who may be said to
 he naval field marshal, and gets only little more than sl0,000 year. ex-

Diseased cattle may be run through dipping machine and come out at the other end as clean and free from danger of spreading Texas fever as dirty shirt is cleaned by running it through a wash ing machine.
 If the shirt is again exposed to dirt it will need more washing; likewise. if cattle are again exposed to disease in fected pastures they will be reinfested with ticks and another trip through the dipping machine is necessary.
 The shirt, after several journeys through the laundry fades, shrinks and is cast aside as worthless; whereas the cattle under the hygienic treatment ad- ministered by the dipping machine. im- prove remarkably in weight. appearance and health.
 A novel method of exterminating Texas fever in cattle is by running or rather swimming all animals infested with the tick, which causes the disease, through a machine-like dipping vat filled with so- lution of arsenic.
 The ox-loving tick (boopholus bovis) was probably imported to the North American continent fon cattle carried tc these shores by Ponce De Leon and other early settlers.
 Year by year the tick spread north ward and westward destroying at eacf migration thousands of native cattle
 The long, severe winters of the north have been a natural barrier to the en- croachment of the tick. as temperature of two degrees Fahrenheit is sufficient to destroy ticks and tick eggs.
 The United States quarantine line has prevented the movement of tick infested cattle northward, except for immediate slaughter. These projections to the cat tie raiser of the west and north have made it unnecessary for him to give much concern about Texas fever.
 There are several varieties of ticks found in the southern states, but we will consider only the Texas fever producing variety.
 The large female tick when 1t falls off the COW to the ground lays from a0oo to 5000 eggs in summer these eggs hatch in about 21 days; after depositing the eggs the female tick dies. The young ticks eagerly seek a host to attach themselves to. They cannot fly, and crawl very indifferently; however, they patiently wait the approach of a COW, but if none comes for month tho little pests wait on; they can live four months without the cows blood at the expiration of four months, in summer, if no succor comes, they die of starva- ton.
 The COW so unfortunate as to run into the ticks cul-de-sac may quickly be cov- cred with them. The ticks inject into it the small microscopic animal body which is the direct cause of the fever. If it is not native COW the fever ap- pears about the seventh to tenth day. The temperature rapidly rises, often reaches no degrees, the animal at first dull and 1istless, becomes frantic and ex- eitable and dies after great suffering.
 The native cows, which we consider immune to Texas fever, becomes thin, worried and worthless. The supposed i'm munity is only partial. as at least IA per cent of all ticks infested cattle die every year
 The progress made in eradicating the cattle tick has been satisfactory Con- sidering that it Is a pioneer work the

FIRST DEMOCRAT
CHOSEN IN
CALDWELL BORO
Republicans, However, Have
Almost Clean Sweep in
Western Essex.

With few exceptions. the Repub-
licans swept everything before them
in Western Essex, which includes
Caldwell, West Caldwell, North Cald-
well Township, Essex FEELS, Rose
land, Livingston, Verona and Cedar
Grove. The voting throughout the
day was very heavy. with but few
straight tickets on either side. The
count shows that the Republicans
led by about two to one.
The Democratic candidates who
ran ahead of their ticket throughout
this section were Congressman Ed
ward w. Townsend and Michael N.
Higgins, candidate for freeholder
Harry +. Baekus, Democratic candi-
date for surrogate, also ran ahead of
his ticket in several of the districts.
Although a Republican landslide
swept through that section of the
county, Democratic mayor was
elected in the Borough of Caldwell
in one OF the closest fights the bor
ough ever had. There were three
candidates in the field--F'rederick r.
Cook, Democrat; Councilman Otto
mar Block, Republican, and Morris
B. Lindsey, who filed an independ-
ent petition. The latter received only
nineteen votes. Mr.. Cook defeated
his opponent by only seven votes, re-
ceiving 252, while the others got 245

HARRISONW|NS
MAYORALTYBY
CLOSE MARGIN
Republican Candidate in Mont
clair Given Hard Fight by
Democratic Opponent.

Although the election in Montclair
passed off quietly, there was no time
during the time the polls were open
that the candidates and their friends
were not working with will to win,
and the result brought forth many
surprises. The principal fight was on
the mayoralty candidates and this
brought out a large vote. Edwin
Mortimer Harrison, Republican. won
out over Dallas Flanagan, Democrat
by vote of 794 to 1,5S6. Mr.. f an
nagan carried the First, Third and
Fifth wards, but his majorities in
these wards were not large enough to
overcome Mr.. Harrison'e leads in the
Second and Fourth wards. The
Fourth ward, which is considered
Democratic under ordinary clrcum-
stances, gave Mr.. Harrison major
ity of SO votes. This was due to the
efforts of County Register Thomas p.
Alworth, who succeeds in making the
ward Republican when he puts on his
old "slouch' hat and. with the smile
that won't come off, greets the voters,
and, as some declare, hypnotiZes them.
Yesterday he had an object in view.
George y. Dodd was his candidate for
councilman, while the McGlynn cam
didate was Jerome Doyle. The Demo-
cratic candidate was Joseph Lennon,
and many believed that he would
slip in between the two Republicans.
But Mr. Alworth landed his man by
the following vote: Dodd, 247; Len
non, 213; Doyle, 164.

Speaker Says War May Be to
Blame for General Mix-Up
at Polls.

ROWLING GREEN, Mo, Nov. A.
Champ Clark, speak of the House OF
Representatives, commenting this
morning on the Republican victories
in a majority Of the States in winch
elections were held yesterday, SAID
the vote was not rebuke to the VIII
son administration, but Just one
more thing that could happen during
these days or European war.
1.-THE result at the polls throughout
the country said the speaker, was
a great surprise to me- But the de-
feat of a great number of Democratic
senators and congressman is not
rebuke to the policies of President
Wilson. No, it is just a natural &C.
currence, one that might happen dur
ing these days of general mix.up;;
The European war may have had
something to do with it,"
When told that the Democratic ma
1ority in the House was reduced by
big margin the speaker, who was
reelected by about 5000 plurality,
said that he felt certain when the re-
suit had been decided definitely the
Democratic party still would have a
safe working majority.
1.-THE reuniting of the Republican
and Progressive forces in many dis
tricts and the inability of Democratic
legislators, because of the long ses-
sion of Congress to properly canvass
their districts, naturally permitted
the voters to drift back to old party
lines and the Republican victories are
the result"

SUFFRAGETTES
GET SETBACK IN
FIGHT FOR CAUSE
Returns Indicate That Woman
Suffrage Has Been De-
feated in Six States.

NEW YORK. Nov. 4-Returns to-
day indicate that woman suffrage
was beaten in six of the seven
States In which the question was
submitted to the voters yesterday.
The liquor question was largely in
volved in the issue.
While the -suffragists won Mon
tana, they lost Ohio Missouri, Ne
braska, North Dakota, South Dakota
and Nevada. The right of 1899, 900
women to vote was involved in the
seven States. Women now have
suffrage in eleven States-Colorado,
Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Washington,
California, Kansas, Arizona, Oregon,
Illinois and Montana
The loss of Nevada, Nebraska and
South Dakota was a blow to leaders
of the National American Woman s
Suffrage Association, who had ex-
pected those States would be carried
without strong opposition.
They attribute their defeat in Ohio
and Missouri to the liquor interests
In the former State suffrage and pro-
hibition went down together. In Mis-
souri, the vets, profiting by their ex-
perience in Illinois, made an organ
lied fight on suffrage.
The elections fail to demonstrate
that the woman vote invariably
means prohibition, In Washington,
prohibition was defeated. The returns
from California Indicate that folk
there will continue to make and sell

are claimed by the drys.
The Kansas City Star estimates
that women's suffrage was beaten IN
Missouri by 100000 majority.

WHENF friendships
WILL SPRING Up
Reasons Why Mayor-elect Ray
nond Is Certain to Form
New Acquaintance.

Long about the first of the coming
year Mayor-elect Thomas L. Ray
mond will have more friends than he
ever thought he would have in his
life. and he viii wonder where in the
world they all came from.
After talking with them for awhile
he will do some more wondering. He
viii wonder why his plurality at yes
terday's election was not ten times
larger than it was.
The reason for the foregoing is that,
although the mayor-elect will not
have the Common Council or the
Board of Works with him on party
lines, he will have deal of patronage
to disburse and that invariably wins
friendship.
As a starter, the incoming mayor
will have an entire new law depart
ment to arrange according 10 his own
notion of things, and that means three
or four appointments.
Then there are a number of COM
rnissioners, the members of which go
out of office with Mayor Haussling.
The Ripper act" as the law IS
termed, makes provisions for this
hegiFa.
Ten members of the Board Of
Health will be named or renamed in
Mayor Raymond's time. Four police
commissioners will walk the plank
and four fire commissioners will fol-
low suit. That will mean eight places
TO be refilled.
Then there is an Excise Board to
be attended to. The body consists Of
four members. There are three as
sessment commissioners who will quit
business on New Years Day next, and
a hundred or so will be offering their
services TO the cause. II won't make
much difference with them whether
they voted for the Judge or not. They
will say that they did, and who is to
disprove their statement? The posi-
ton of commissioner of assessments
and revision of taxes is not TO be
sneezed at, and Mayor Raymond viii
find many willing to help him out on
the proposition of filling the place.
this job. Police judgeships are useful
in ones business, too.
Looking over the list, Mayor Ray
mond will find that there are such
berths as playground commissioners,
library trustees, shade tree commits
sioners, city planning commissioners
and lots of other things within the
gift of the chief executive of the big
city of Newark. Some say that the
rnayor-elect may name Chandler w.
Riker as city counsel. Others pick
out Spaulding Frazer as the white
haired boy.
Attractive berths, such as private
secretary, executive clerk and stenog-
rapher. are among other neat little
! handouts.
