case Judge Clemons briefly explained
its severity, declaring the evidence in
dicated willful. deliberate violation OF

GERMAN CASUALTIES lo4,5ss
5,9os Reported woundedj only 15,-
ED Killed.

BERLIN, Sept 2s.-The total German
casualties in dead, wounded and missing,
as officailly reported to date. are 1o45ss
These are made up as follows: Dead, 49,
GA; wounded 65.oOs; missing. 23.O07
The casualty list announced yesterday
adds total Of IO527 casualties to those
previously announced.
The last previous summary Of totals.
which came out from Berlin was dated
last Wednesday. 1t announced that TO-
OSG Germans had been killed and 3e,76o
wounded. while 1851 were missing, a
total Of g. i67. The loss Of thousand
more Germans was chronicled in a dis
patch sent from Amsterdam last Friday
and evidently quoting official German
advices.
Yesterdays list included only 1O527, so
that apparently other lists, totallIng more
than 1900. were issued in Berlin be-
tween Wednesday and Sunday without
reaching the outside world. These figures
bear out all the reports about the terrific
fighting that has been going on especi-
ally along the line of the Aisne.

RIGHT OF SIX MEN
TO SIT IN DELAWARE
ASSEMBLY DISPUTED
Speaker Holcomb, Secretary
to Senator Salisbury,
Among Those Whose
Eligibility Is Challenged.
Five Democrats.

DOVER, Del, Sept. 2S.-The eligibility
~ ak members Of the General Assembly,
including the Speaker of the House,
cbauncey p. Holcomb, to sit during the
,neoisl session called to act upon a re-
vised code and executive appointments,
was questioned today when the legisla-
TORS assembled at noon.
The members who may be ousted in ad-
aitlon to Speaker Holcomb who is secre-
tary TO United States Senator Salisbury,
are DR.. T. o. Cooper, of Wilmington AL
bert L. swan, Delaware City; Charles J.
gtoeckel of Sussex County, and Zachary
n Harris. of New Castle County. They
are Democrats. Charles II. Mcdonald, of
New Castle County, is another. He Is a
Republican.
II the members are ousted the Re-
publcans will tie in the Senate, while
there will be IS Democrats and 10 Re-
publicans in the House. The charges de-
slaring their ineligibllity were prepared
IN concurrent resolution offered by Rep
resentative Grantland, of Wilmington
The paper requests the Attorney General
10 give an opinion.
Doctor Cooper was appointed Inspector
of Drugs and Chemicals, attached to the
Philadelphia Custom House. He an
nounced this morning that he had re-
signed Mr.. Swan was appointed post
master at Delaware City by President
Wilson. These appointments were made
since the last session of the Legislature.
Mr. Holcomb Is secretary of the Senate
Committee on Coast and Insular Survey
IN Washington. In his defense Speaker
Holcomb asserted the Supreme Court
had given an opinion that secretaries of
Senate committees should not be regard
ed as Federal appointees.
The charge against Representative Nc
Donald is that he has moved from the
district he represented in 1913. Mr.. Nc
Donald says there Is no statutory law
calling for his withdrawal from this ses-
sion.
Governor Miller, in his message, tersely
told the object of the extraordinary ses-
sion and requested the legislators not to
be datory in considering the code.
Three new laws are proposed. The first
calls for a uniform fisheries bill so that
Delaware laws may conform with New
jerseys over fishing in the Delaware
River and bay. Another concerns par
titiOn of estates.
fight probably will centre over an
act calling for direct election of Senators.
Az the law is now framed 1t proposes
that the Governor call special election
II vacancy occurs. This measure is
favored by Democrats, and Republicans
are supporting a proposition to make 1t
optional with the Governor to order a
special election or make temporary ap-
pontments.
A new law written into the code re-
qures special election of Representative
and Senators if a vacancy occurs within
q month of adjournment.
