Latest Election News.

Returns early Thursday morn
ing indicate that E. d. Smith
had majority of about 20, 600

123, 600 reported early Thursday

Blease, SO. 389; Jennings, 2,282;

necessary.

The War.

A closer veil than ever seems
to be drawn over the progress of
the war. Little news has come
to hand concerning the opera
tions on either front. The
Russians, however, appear to be
continuing their advance in East
Prussia towards Posen, with the
Germans in retreat.
The only news from the
French side is that French troops
were attacked along the Alsace-
Lorraine line, but repulsed all
attacks successfully. There is
no indication that the German
attack was in any great force
but, if it was, the French sue
cess shows that they now are in
a strong position along this
frontier from which they were
driven only by great sacrifice on
the part of the Germans.
