Wittpen's Defeat Blow to His
Ambition

TRENTON, y. j.. Sept 24.-The pri-
mary system of this State, which had
another test in the election last Tues
day. is being severely criticised today
through the State many politicians and
voters being of the opinion the system
has not improved conditions over the old
nominating conventions. It is pointed
out that one effect of the primary method
has been the almost complete disorgani-
zation of parties and the creation OF such
bad feeling in the race for nominations
that legitimate campaign work is made
ineffective. Most OF the aspirants for
Congress in Tuesdays election, it is said.
We're men OF low standing and mental
ability.

MANY GERMANS|N
 CONSTANT|NOPLE Porte Confident, But Army Is Believed Unprepared
 for War

Rome, November 7.-(4:5O D. m.)-Dis- patches from Constantinople describe the situation there as outwardly much as 1t wac during the Balkan war.
 All foreigners except Germans are re- garded with suspicion. Germans may be seen everywhere and German money is so plentiful that it often is accepted as though 1t were Turkish. In cafes and places of amusement the German lan- guage constantly Is heard.
 Governing classes appear solemnly con fident, but the army is declared to be totally unprepared for war Storehouses are said to be empty and no commissar riat exists. Many soldiers still are wearing the old uniforms used in the last previous war, and army officers have not all been paid, it is asserted. There also Is a scar city of ammunition, continues the corre- spondent, though Germany has poured into Turkey German officers, privates, sailors, arms and ammunition, and above all money. It is also said they have sent a submarine to Turkey.
 Enver Pasha, minister of war and Gen. Liman von Sanders, German comma nder or the Ottoman army, are the idols of the moment says one correspondent, who adds:
 They have promised the people military glory, and certain conquests followed by riches and prosperity through the spells of war. Enver Pasha already is depicted as the Ottoman Napoleon, but meanwhile. notwithstanding German assistance, finan- clai necessities are so pressing that a new taxation has been imposed'

Birth Rate Influenced War
e New York Sun.


 bulletin issued yesterday by the health department states that inter esting vital statistics compiled recent ly by the department of health ex- plain why the Kaiser is able to put so large an army of young fighters into the field, and perhaps also indicates why Germany preferred fighting now to postponing the conflict" The figures prepared by the depart ment show that in 1880 Berlin had the highest birth rate of the large Euro pean cities, being 40 births per 1000 pop ulation. Germany's capital kept its lead from 1880 to 1893. At the end of that period Londons birth rate passed the Berlin mark, and the next year both London and New York were ahead of 1t.
 Tt is clear" states the department that the enormous birth rate between 1880 and 1893 still shows its effect in the present German army, for all oi these individuals are now between 21 and 34 years old. and therefore con 'stitute the flower of the fighting force With the decline in the birth rate and especially since Berlin was passed by London in 1893, 1t must have been clea, to the Kaiser that the prospects for a continuance of an overwhelmingly large army were becoming dimmed."
 The birth rates in 1913 of the cap- itals of nations now at war, compared with that of New York, which leads with 26 per 1000 persons, are: London 2s; Berlin. 20; Paris. IT. and Brus- els, 1e.

SAW THE KAISER
 WATCHING BATTLE

boulogne. November 7.-(Special. ! A French artillery lieutenant who was made prisoner by the Germans at the commencement of the battle of Nancy was questioned as to the French position, and, refusing to give the smallest piece of information, he was threatened with death He was given time to reflect and told that should he again refuse, he would be shot. He was placed in tent, under guard, but the soldiers were allowed to see him. He was insulted and even struck. F One officer, however, approached him and, handing him pair of field glasses, said: Look! I will show you grand sight You shall be the first Frenchman to see the Kaiser since the opening of the war"
 The prisoner took the glasses and on a hill in the distance he saw a force of German cavalry. ranked as If on pa- rade. Many high officers were present.

 But the Germans did not enter Nancy. Later on the prisoner was a free man. and still a possessor of the Germans s glasses. saw brilliant charge of the French. Turning again to the right, he saw no solitary person seated on Q throne.

FRENCH LIEUTENANT
 DIED PERIODICALLY

Paris November 7.-tSpecial. )-Like Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac, Lieu tenant de Fayolle, who fell at Charle- roi, fighting heroically at the head of his men would not abate feather of his "panache." His regiment entered into action on August 22.
 In accordance with the VOW which, with his young comrades. he had taken on leaving the military school of St. Cyr a few months before. the young lieutenant put on white gloves to re- ceive his baptism of fire. When his section was given orders to charge with the bayonet, De Fayolle drew out from his haversack the white and blue plume which he wore on his shako on parade days at St. Cyr, thrust it into his cam paigning cap. and crying forward ' advanced at the head of his men.
 The white and blue plume made him, of course. a mark for the enemy's sharpshooters. and he fell with a bull let through his forehead. His regiment cherishes the plume and the memory of a very gallant death. The name Of Lieutenant Alain de Fayolle has been mentioned in dispatches.

PHOTOGRAPHERS GET ID SEE THE FIGHTING Have Been More Fortunate Than the War Cor
 respondents

Ostend, November 7-(Special )--The newspaper photographer has succeeded 1 in eAaping some of the restrictions under Naich the enthusiastic war corres-
 rondent of the present campaigns now
 end then chafes. One seldom fails to
 look at his work. but he is never in the
 limelight, and many kicks are his before
 he and his camera csD make good" One must marvel at the skill and the intrepidity of the war artist, the hum-
 fle man with the camera, who is often despised by the superior gentleman who
 used to discuss the fighting with the headquarters staff, but who now often has to be content with picking up stories from Tommies from the front.
 The orthodox war correspondent has been disposed either to stay in Ostend. like Micawber, and wait for something to turn up. or to recross the channel for Tear something altogether too warm might happen
 What does the photographer do? We'll, enc photographer who has been three times to the actual battlefields this week Is still in the thick of the fighting, and iB day or so will have a brilliant series Of pictures for his paper
 And there is the famous moving picture pair known as Parker and Yates No war correspondent is better known than Is MT Yates. He has been in every big event since the fighting began, and Wien saw him in Ostend, straight from Antwerp and Ghent, he was armed with films of the King of the Belgians to say nothing of certain other distinguished personages in the Antwerp trenches. He was under fire outside Ghent on Monday.
 He was driving a stranded soldier in his car when German cyclist rode up and ordered the car to stop. It stopped so suddenly that Yates was thrown out.
 Tn we scrambled again, and off the motor sped,' he said. 'The cyclist fired five useful shots; the first hit the aero scope camera, the second wounded the gl nner, the third hit Belgian occupant, the fourth damaged the tire, and the fifth penetrated the back of the car.''
 After many vicissitudes Yates arrived with his wounded gunner in Bruges and then the First regiment of Belgian guides rescued them both.

Speculate as to Fate
 of Empress Charlotte

Rome, November 7.-(Special) Much speculation is rife here as to what will be the probable fate of the En- press Charlotte. aunt of King Albert of Belgium, who has been living for the past 40 years in the castle of Bou- chout, not very far from Brussels. It will be remembered that after the death of her husband. the ill-fated Elm peror Maximiliam of Mexico, the unfor- tunate woman lost her reason. and re- turned to her native country to spend the rest of her days.
 Now that the Belgian court has been removed from Brussels and Antwerp to Havre, France considerable uneasiness is expressed as to her probable fu- ture. The ex-Empress married in 1857 at the age of 17 the Archduke Ferdi- nand Maximilian of Austria, who, seven years later, accepted the imperial throne of Mexico. She returned to Eu- rope in a forlorn hope to save her hus- bands life. He was shot, and her fail- ure to save him brought on incurable insanity.

TEN OF NATIONAL HIGH
MAYS ASSOCIATION.

The city of Mitchell, as one of the
principal points on the Scenic high
way, will be Identified with the net
work OF concrete roads proposed by
the National Highways association as
the next great project OF the federal
government.
Practically every business man of
the city who was present last evening
at the meeting in the city hall, when
|. j. kirger, of Des Moines, repre-
senting the association, spoke. be
came a member of the local branch
OF the national organization. Today.
in company with good roads boost
ers, Mr.. kirker is calling upon all
who We're not present last evening
and securing their support.
The arousing of sentiment favor
able to the national system of high
ways is the object OF the visit of Mi.
Kirker and G. II. Gilings, one Of the
engineers OF the association. The bill
providing for the construction of the
roads is nov before Congress and is
expected to be brought TO a vote some
time in April.
The strategic position of Mitchell
as n of the leading cities ON the
Scenic" highway, which in turn is q
portion of Route No. Is from Chi
cago to Seattle. was shown in maps
and blue prints at last evening;
meeting. Practically every city on
the highway west of Mitchell is al
ready identified with the project.
The National Highways association
was started some few years ago by
fifty three ~millionaires, who put III a
million and a half dollars to start up
with. with the aim in vitw OF educat-
ing the people of the United States
into the belief that the national
government ought to take up road
building as a regular order OF bust
ness. Since then the association has
grown till the membership includes
thousands of influential men in all
states, who are assisting in working
out the p%erpleXing problem of per
manent good roads throughout the
country. 1t matters little whether tho
roads are built by counties, by state
or by the national government, bul
past experience has shown that nei-
Their the states nor the counties arc
willing TO assume the task, and that
is why the National Highways asso-
citation comes in With a definite plan
of action to be taken hold of by the
government.
Briefly. the maps and plaus of ting
association proposed road total.
10000 miles of highways: takes il
every town of 10000 or more popul
alton in the United States and pass

gressional districts in every state
Most OF the real and imaginary "higl
ways" of the various states are in
Guided in the plan, including thu

all of which pass through South Da

900 miles would cost approximately
$500, 000, 900.
The Interesting part of the whole
program is how the government could
built this vast amount of highways
and never feel it,, The association
proposes that a tax be placed upon
Injuries, principally tobacco, the
same tax as was spread for paying
the expenses OF the Spanish American
war-something like one-third Of
one per cent. 1t is figured hat the
revenue from this source alone would
amount TO the staggering figures of
between 80 and so million dollars
per year, and thus those who indulge
in the fragrant weed would build
$4,000 miles 'ol concrete highways
in eight years, and never know it.
Still, another point, Mr.. kirker eX-
planned, is what hurts worst. AT the
time the last war tax ON tobacco was
fixed the manufacturers reduced the

tobacco about one thirtieth not
