to corrupt the election is merely hint

Rioting at Polls

driven from the polling places and APP
peals were made to Governor Ealston
to take q hand. A grand jury inyesti-

cluded in a party Of % of the pris-

be placed in jail. The others had been
released on bonds ranging from S2500
to $4,000 each. Sheriff Shea and Judge
Redman were given their freedom on
bonds OF $4,000.

Allies, who are on the offensive IN
the West, are naturally DESTROYS of

arrival of which at the front has been
the signal for many German counter

Western Situation
Except in the Argonne and AIsace,
where the French have made some
progress, and outside of artillery pras-
tice, the battles in the West for the
last two days largely consisted of Ger
man attacks, to counter those of the
Allies and to prevent the Allies from
organizing the ground which they had
gained.
In Poland, where the Russian Emperor
has Joined Grand Duke Nicholas at the
Russian headquarters. the German at
tacks on the Bzura and Rawka rivers
are being made almost exclusively with
artillery, while an offensive in force has
been assumed further south along the
River Pilica, where hard fighting contin-

Henry v. was thinking no longer OF

The past glores Of the branch of Or

1t was better so.
After the King had been Joined to the
long line of his illustrious forefathers
much surprise was caused by the quiet
and modest attitude of the Comte de

France. Neither he nor the Comtesse

It would not be just to Intimate that

sacrifice. For instance. when their

GERMANY'S NEW CRUISER
HAS GREATEST SPEED

Berlin, Aug. 4.-Germany's recently
completed battleship cruiser Seydlitz
has developed s9.73S propeller horse
power on its official trials. This is
the highest horsepower developed by
any battleship with turbines in the
world. The Seydlitz registered an av-
erage speed exceeding % knots per
hour. which gives her rank with the
armored cruisers Moltke and Goeben
The day of the turbine cruiser of 100.-

when the Prussian ingoes and the

France, are acknowledged, and the
growth of a better understanding be-

in no small degree his work. His

CAMBRIDGE PROFESSOR
HAS NEW KIND OF WHEAT

London, Aug. A new wheat with
five parents and inheriting the virtues
or each OF them is the latest triumph
OF Professor Rowland Biffen of Cam
bridge university. 1t is a peculiarly
hardy development. growing from
three to three-and-a-half feet in height,
stout of straw and also good for mill
ing, and is especially adapted for the
exposed Fen country. This new wheat
will be put on the market next year.
There are several other wheats and
barleys to Professor Biffen's credit at
the Cambridge farm this year One
of these is a wheat crossed between
the Red Fife and the old English
wheat known as Browick. 1t is an ex-
ceedingly heavy cropper and an ex

GERMAN CHANCELLOR
HAS MADE GOOD RECORD

Berlin. Aug. 4.-Dr. Won Bethmann
Hollweg. the imperial chancellor. has
now held that position five years. to
the confusion of many prophets. The
approaching resignation or dismissal
of the philosopher of Hohenfinow, as
he is called, has been many times
predicted since the emperor called
upon him TO take the place OF Prince
Won Buelow, but these predictions have
regularly been upset and there is to-
day no indication that the chancellor
does not possess the full confidence
OF the ruler.
Won Bethmann Hollweg has been
the target for much criticism, and he
has unquestionably made some mis-
takes. but a review OF his five years
OF work shows that ne has accom-
plished as much If not more than any
other chancellor since Bismarck. The
