Republicans of Christiana hundred
last night held an enthusiastic rally

dressed by former Congressman William

Republican candidate for Congress. Hor-
ace DilwOrth presided, and the hail was
filed. Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Heald at
tackled the record of the Democratic ad-
ministration, charging that party's tar

the Industrial and business depression

denounced the Democratic action IN

Next TO the ceaseless and exceed

did along the line of decreasing the
high cost of living in the campaign
of two and four years ago was their
arraignment of the Republican party
for reckless and extravagant National
expenditure. The Democratic party
in its platform of 1912 declared we
denounce the prohigate waste Of
money wrung from the people by tax

ALLIES Check The
KAISER'S Objective
BY J. W. 4. MASON,
Former European Manager Of The
United Press.


NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-(1 a. m.)-
The conflicts in Northern France and
Belgium represent two distinct move
ments. In the Belgian area, the Ger
mans arc fighting an offensive battle,
while the allies are on the defensive;
in Northern France the allies are
trying to develop an offensive while
the Germans are resisting defensive
ly.
The Belgian battle is not neces-
sarily connected with the military
developments south of the French
boundary, between Lille and Arras.
The objective Of the German attack
in Belgium is the occupation of the
Franco-Belgian coast line, which
commands the crossings to England.
The objective of the German defense
in Northern France is the protection
of their main lines of supply running
from Cologne and Aix-la-Chappelle
through southern Belgium and on to
the southern battle front along the
Aisne.
The allies can check the first Ger
man objective as long as they prevent
any appreciable southern extension
of the battle line now found in the
vicinity Of Ostend. rhe second Ger
man objective, however, is not harm
ed if the allies efforts along the
Lille-Arras front result only in hold
ing the Germans to their present
positions.
Moderate advances by the allies in
the neighborhood of Ostend are Of
far less consequence 10 them than
moderate advances from Arras, be-
cause Ostend is a long distance from
the enemy's communications. Similar
ly, the seizure Of a few miles OF
additional territory by the Germans
about Lille and Arras is of secondary
importance to the Kaisers Gtrategists
compared with an advance from Os-
tend because the Lille-ArFas from
is so far from the coast.
What information the contendinf
forces have issued, suggests that the
allies have had to give n little ground
about Lille, while the Germans have
been driven back from the North Sea
coast line. That is, each side has
been unable to push forward its Of
fensive, while the countcr-offensive
of both has been moderately su-
cessful. These circumstances sug-
gest an even match and may imply
repetition of the indecisive results
along the Aisne.

REGISTRATIONS

PADDED LISTS FROM
The LODGING HOUSES

AS investigators continue TO visit
houses in this city from which It is
alleged Democratic voters have reg
istered illegally what looks like a
scheme to pad the registration lists
by the Democrats assumes great pro-
portations. In one district alone four
men were registered from house
which has been unoccupied for some
time. Other cases have zen reported
where voters by the dozen have been
registered from houses owned or con-
trOlled by Democratic party work
ers. In one district of the Second
ward a man registered in the name
of a well-known citizen who had re-
moved from the district several years
ago. In some instances the alleged
illegal registrations have been so
fragrant that the attention of the au-
thorities has been called to them.
In one district near Second and
Walnut four men were registered from
the house No. 215 1-2 Walnut street.
This house is vacant and has been for
some time past. Another instance of
alleged illegal registration is reported
from Nos. 5O4-O6 King street The
books show that from these two houses
alone thirteen men registered, the
nome of one man given being that of
man who is under sentece for hav-
ing committed a felony.
At the home of Mrs. Mary Donlan.
No. 734 East Sixth street. mother OF
Patrolman Michael Donlan, fifteen
men are said to have been registered.
When inquiry was made of Mrs. Dom
Ion as to whether these men were
there, she replied that they lived
there.
-Four men were registered from the
southeast corner of Fourth and Shipley,
which lodging house is said TO be under
the control of a Democratic politician.
On inquiry it was said that only three
men registered from there really resided
there. Twelve men were registere,
from the property No. 20l East Fiftl
street. An Investigation has showi
that only a few men reside there.
When spoken to about the alleged Il
legal registration this morning it wal
predicted by the Republican party
workers that when the appeals ar,
heard on Tuesday many contests will
be filed against those who registered
from empty houses and rooming houses
