those registered to a large extent
The first one of the most determined
steps is to secure registration; the
next one, is to draw the voters out
on election day. With the registra-
ton as heavy as they were yesterday
and the total number swelled to the
extent 1t was, political leaders on all
sides rejoice, for each feels it will
be so much more of an opportunity
to draw support on election day.
When voters are registered, the op-
portunity is there, it is claimed, but
when they are not registered it Is
lost.
Strenuous efforts were made on
all sides to complete registry lists
as far as possible yesterday. Both

CATERO IS BEING
bOMbARDED BY
FRENCH SHELLS
Special by United Press Wire,

Cettinje, Oct. 21:-The lombard
ment Of Catero from the sea and
land continues almost without inter-
ruption. The heavy French siege
guns placed in position on Mount
Lochin have the range of Fort Lus-
tica and the other forts on the PEN
insula to the right entrance to the
bay of Terordo and are slowly re-
ducing them. The combined Anglo
French fleet has taken position
about the entrance to the bay of
Topla and is steadily bombarding all
the harbor forts. The battleships
and cruisers are protected by a ring
Of torpedo boats and destroyers in
anticipation of attempted Austrian
submarine operations. Every eff
fort is being made to take Catero in
order that the combined fleet may get
naval base on the Adriatic. At
present they are operating from a
foreign base and 1t has not been
thought advisable to bring supply
ships to the Adriatic in any force.

county and city organizations dwell
ed upon the subject weeks before the
final registration day, which oceurr-
ed yesterday. Men were urged to
summon voters to register and COM
mittees were formed. In many in
stances the county committeeman
were called upon for work. In
Woodbridge the county committee
men were reinforced by individual
workers. Automobiles and hacks
were used in many instances to con-
vey prospective voters to the poll
ing places. The election officers sat
from / O'Clock yesterday afternoon
until o'clock last night to register
voters. At first the registrations
were light, but the numbers increas-
ed as the day wore on. The heaviest
registrations came between 6
o'clock last night and the closing
hours.
With the last registration day
past and the work thus far we'll done
in the eyes of political leaders and
workers, efforts are turned to the
closing week of the campaign. Thus
far the fight has been a quiet one.
There has been little mud singing"
and few rallies have been held. Both
the Republicans and Democratic
forces are planning for busy week
to begin on Monday and there is
talk among Progressives of a rapid,
one-day campaign by automobile
through the county. Democratic
and Republican organizations have
arranged for rallies to be held next
week. The Fourth Ward Demo-
cratic Club will hold one tomorrow
night in Bacha's hall 1t is propos-
ed to make it the biggest ward meet
ing of the year In this city Practi-
cally all of the candidates will be on
hand

ATTACK ON FORTS
At VEROUN IS
STILL RAGING
Special BY United Press Wire


Paris, Oct 21:-Despite the severA
lighting in progress in the north
there is growing feeling here that
the real German objective is not the
line from Dunkirk east. 1t Is con-
sidered certain that the attempt to
take Dunkirk will be forced and it ia
admitted at military headquarters
that German reinforcements are COM
ing up, but it is also insisted that the
German general staff must realize by,
now that Won Kluck and Won Boehm
cannot break through the allied line,
In consequence attention is being
paid to the operations of the Ger
mans on their left center against
Verdun and the country near st.
Manchould.
Another offensive is developing
there although the German claim
that they actually have reduced some
of the Verdun forts Is emphatically
denied by Gen. Gallieni today. 1t is
believed that this movement is q
desperate attempt of the Germans to
divert the French from their Alsace-
Lorraine operations, but if so it cam
not hardly succeed as plans to meet
the movement have been perfected.
Reports received from the north, to-
day say that fierce fghftne MSkkxA

| tion OF the Ypres river
The Germans also made an attack
in force on the allied position in the
vicinity of Armentieres, but were re-
pulsed with losses. The main Ger
man objective in the north Is devel-
oping now from Lille, while at the
same time attempts are being made
to keep the allies holding the lines
further south engaged by heavy ar
tillery fire. The general situation
was declared to be excellent.

GERMANS HURL IN ARTILLERY TO CAPTURE VERDUN
HEA Wy REGISTRATION ON
FINAL DAY; 900 MORE
VOTERS THAN LAST YEAR

Final registration yesterday for
the general election on November
3, was unusually heavy. The fig
ures show an increase of COS voters
in the city over the number of last
year, while the registrations yester-
day exceeded those on the final reg
istration day of 1913 by 662. Reg
istering was heavier In the second
district of the sixth ward than In any
other district in the city yesterday,
2lS appearing to become eligible to
vote. This number swell the total
registration In the district to 400,
making it the largest of any In the
city.
While the addition of names of
voters was thus large, the number Of
erasures were exceedingly small,
these being none in a majority of the
districts. The erasures recorded fol-
low: Second ward, first poll, / !;
second ward, second pail, s; third
ward, first poll, q fourth ward, first
poll, 4; fifth ward, first poll, 1.
With the total registration swell
ing from just above the 1000 mark
to more than 4,500, it Is taken as
an indication that there is much in
terest in the coming election, despite
the fact that the election involves
but a congressman and county and
city candidates. Heads on both the
Democratic and Republican sides
have fond hopes of seeing the total
of registrations swell to the 5000
mark by the time another year rolls
around. If increases go on at the
same rapid rate they have been, the
5000 mark will be exceeded by this
time next year.
All sides appear about equally
anxious to secure heavy registrations
1t appears that leaders calculate the
number of votes upon the number

(That British submarines would

such persons are born American citi-

The department also is informed of
numerous cases where Italians who

Quently returned to italy. have been
held in that country for military serv-

citizen or subject OF another country
does not relieve him from the liability
of the performance Of military service
in Italy"
The department has found itself
employed in protesting to the various
government by the fact that the Unit

that the child born to American par

terday recovered in a measure from
the depression caused by the recent
news from abroad. The committee
which supervises sales of unlisted
bonds and stocks reported a dimuni-
tion of offerings and better demand
for the new city notes and state is
sues. On the other hand, prices in the
unorganized market, which trades in
listed stocks. manifested a sagging
tendency. So '--.-. .-z..-
A semblance of former activity in
the district was impaired by the re-
opening Of the curb market, which dealt
moderately in some of the low priced
specialties. These included the shares
of several industrial companies, whose
business has benefited by the war.
Foreign exchange took on a more
definite basis in cure of the formal
organization of the $100,0O0,000 gold
pool. Rates for cables and sight drafts
were fractionally higher, but the sup
ply of bills on London was small, yes
terday's steamer for Liverpool hav-
ing depleted the market, temporarily
at least.
Further small shipments of gold to
Ottawa were announced and the move
ment to that point is expected to as
sumo larger proportions within the
next few days, by which time the gold
POOL probably will have received the
20 per cent subscription asked for.
Large exports now under way are al
so likely to exercise a favorable in
fiuence on foreign exchange.
Sales of copper at a shade under re-
cent low record prices were made and
consumption of the metal now is esti-
mated at about go per cent of normal.
incidentally this condition served to
call attention to the meeting tomorrow
of the Amalgamated Copper directors.
Listlessness continues to be the
chief feature of the steel trade, with
the drift toward a lower scale of
operations and weakeneding of prices.
Continued indisposition of the rail-
roads to buy new material and enforc-
ed retrenchments in other quarters
are among the most adverse fac
tors.
Almost the only development in the
local money market was the new low
figure of 6 per cent for mercantile
paper. Until today only the highest
class Of these documents was accepted
at that figure, but with continued ease

are buying more freely. There was
virtually no market for time loans,
due almost entirely to the lack of
borrowers.

Hunt Will Not Send
Militia to Border

border fighting had made American
citizens apprehensive. Concerning
the situation at Douglas Governor
Hunt telegraphed that "one soldier
and a child have been struck by shots
from Mexican garrison Aqua Prieta;
firing across the boundary is described
as being deliberate on the part OF the
Mexican garrison"
Secretary Garrison telegraphed in
reply that reports from General Bliss
and the commanding officer at Dou-
jured and that only stray bullets were
falling on the American side Of the
line. Every precaution was being
taken to guard American interests, he
said, and additional troops could not
be utilized.
The secretary warned the governor
of the grave consequences" that
might follow the sending of militia to
the border, and called attention to the
manifest propriety of not embarrass-
ing the president, as to the interna-
tional situation.
'The president again today request
ed me-" he added, ito emphasize in my
dispatches to you the gravity of the
situation, the fact that he Is doing
everything that properly can be done,
and his earnest desire that you should
abstain from complicating and en-
barrassing the situation"
The secretary said he was in no
doubt that highly colored and exag-
gerated reports" of conditions along
the border were reaching the governor,
adding that true accounts could be OBJ
tanned by communicating with the
ary officers commanding at Naco and
Douglas.
Frank S. Thomas. one of General
Villas representatives here, filed a
protest with the state department de-
claring that the Carranza forces at
Naco had deliberately backed UP to
the American line for the double pur-
pose of escaping to the United States,
il occasion demands, and also to in
vite attack, SO that few bullets will
unavoidably fall on American SOIL"
He charged that Carranza's forces
under General Hill were part of "an
attempt to provoke Intervention on the
part OF the United States"

to situation which is being concealed from them The
United States totally unprepared for war; offensive

between the United States and Mex

AS a rule the utmost cooperation
between democratic leaders In con-

the session. although one notable
break occurred in the party over re-
peal of the tolls provision of the PAN

some of the party leaders on opposite
sides. Among those who took issue
