PRESSES FRENCH
War Office Admits Left
Wing of Allied Army Com
PEELED to Give Ground to
Germans.
BY FRANKLIN p. MERRIcK.

PARIS, Sept. 1.-Exactly forty-four
years after the battle of Sedan, the
German army is pressing relentlessly
upon Paris today from the north. The
war office issued an official statement
today admitting that the left wing of
the allies had been compelled to give
ground, but asserting that the French
had gained new advantages in the Lor-
raine region.
A battle has been in progress for
twenty-four hours along the center,
but thus far neither side has gained
the advantage, the war office says.
The official statements follows:
"On our left the Germans have gain
ed ground. In the center the fortunes
of battle have not been decided. There
has been no change in the situation
there.
"In Lorraine we have gained new
advantages"

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 1.-The
general staff admitted today that the
German troops opposing the Russian
advance into East Prussia were put

asserted that though the progress of
the invasion was slower than last
week, it was still progressing favor
ably
"The German defense has stiffened,'
said the official statement issued at
the war office, "and we have suffered
heavily, but the foe has more seriously
losses. Arrival of fresh troops has
strengthened the German line, but it
will be unable to withstand our attack.
"Our successes in Galicia continue.
The Austrians that invoded Russia
have re-crossed the Vistula, but not
without heavy losses. The Russian
cavalry surrounded an entire regiment
and forced it to surrender.

BERLIN, via Amsterdam, Sept L.
Prediction that France, England and
Russia would soon sue for peace was
made today by a high official of the
German government. He declared
that the rapid movement of the Ger
man armies into Paris had struck ter
ror to the French and British, and
that the same terror would soon be
felt in Russia.
I'VE have suffered no severe re-
verses in East Prussia" he said.
"We are holding the positions ex-
pected to at the outset The main force
of our offensive campaign was de.
cided against the French and British
1t has been successful
THE French profess to believe that
Paris Is impregnable. They thought
the same thing about Liege and Ma.
mur Even if Paries does not fall,
what will be the result? Without an
army, the French will be unable to
do anything. Along the frontier and
through Belgium we shall hald steel
armament that none can scale. Don't
be surprised if you hear that the com
bined British and French forces have
been surrounded and forced to sur
render. That will be the conclusion
of it.
Then we shall turn our attention
to the Russians. Our army and that
OF Austria are withstanding the bar
barian hordes admirably. With the
French and British eliminated, we
shall be able to strike with full force
at ST. Petersburg. Then Muscovy will
cringe"
Asked what reparation would be de.
manded by Germany if the allies
sought peace he replied: I'VE sought
no war. 1t was forced upon U.S. Is
1t unreasonable to suppose that we
would expect the enemy to reimburse
us for our expense?"

GERMANS DRIVE WEDGE
THROUGH ALLIED FORCES
Y LIEUT.. AsHMEAD-BARTLErT.

BY LIEUT.. AsHMEAD-BARTLETT.
LONDON, Sept. l. 1.-Reviewing the
campaign, Lieutenant Ashmead-Bart-
lett, one of the most brilliant and re-
liable experts in Europe, in today's
issue of The Telegraph indicates the
strategic moves of the Germans in
their march on Paris. He writes as
follows:
1T is evident that the Germans have
been compelled to abandon their at
tempt to outflank the left wing of the
allies. They are now making a des-
perate effort to beat through the al
lied lines and to occupy line running
through Noyon, Lafere and Laon."
(Noyon is on the Disc So miles
northeast of Paris; Lafere is on the
Disc 72 miles northeast of Paris; Laon
is IS miles northeast of Paris.)
"That is 10 say they are trying to
gain the shortest road to Paris. The
reason for this is obvious. At Lafere,
they strike the main road to Paris run
ming by way of Noyon, Champagne
and Senlis." (Champiegne is on the
Aisne, AZ miles northeast of Paris;
Senlis is a railroad town rs miles
northeast of Paris.)
'They would also command two
main highways. One of these high
ways pass through Noyon, Kicham-
piegne and Senlis and the other
through Soissones" (Soissones Is on
the Aisne river 56 miles northeast of
Paris.)
ut seems they are endeavoring to
drive a wedge of troops into rough
circle formed by Noyon, Champagne,
Soissones and Laon. The grand
scheme of German strategy therefore
become apparent. Three German
armies are marching on Paris. The
most westerly is that operating in the
vicinity of Lafere and endeavoring to
enter n rough circle formed hY NoYon.

Il was Just ~ years ago today
that the battle Of Sedan was fought.
II resulted In an overwhelming vic.
tory for the Prussians. and marked
the real turning point in the war
Of 1870.
After an aII-day battle, which be.
aan shortly after day-break, the
German forces forced the French
under joint command Of Emperor
Napoleon ~. and Marshall McMa-
hon to surrender. Nearly 100000
or 100000 men laid down their
arms and were made prisoners, to-
oether with the Emperor. The
French loss in the battle that pre-
ceded the surrender was 1900
dead and wounded and $1,000 pris-
oners. About 5000 Frenchmen sue
ceeded In escaping into Belgium.
The German loss was 40 officers

PARIS. Sept. Injecting In extra
ordinary session. the cabinet today
considered the question of removing
the seat of government from Paris in
case the capital is besieged. The mat
ter was left undecided because of an
encouraging report from Minister OF
War Millerand.
If it is decided that the government
will be taken from Paris, it will be
shifted either to Marseilles or Bor-
deau. The latter town was made the
seat in the Franco-Prussian war,
but Marseilles is considered
now because of the fact that the arch
ives. II necessary might be taken to
Algiers from there and remain on
French territory. At the conclusion
of the cabinet meeting M. Malvy, min
lister Of the Interior, said:
Things look brighter. Paris Is now
passing through period of suspense
unparalleled for more than forty years
but is quietly hoping for the best. 1t
will be long war, and we must make
the greatest sacrifices, but we shall
win in the end"
Capital Looks Different.
The progress of the Germans to-
ward the capital has led to striking
changes in the aspect of the city.
Though dropping of bombs from aero.
planes over the city on Sunday and
late yesterday has failed to cause
panic among the residents of the capi-
tai, 1t has, nevertheless, hastened the
departure of women and children for
the south. To facilitate their depar-
ture, the war department today turn
ed over sixty trains. About one hun
dred more will be available by to-
morrow.
Gaiety has disappeared from Paris.
Last night all street lights were ex.
tinguished by order Of the government.
BY 8 O'Clock the cafes were compell-
ed to close. They were unable to
serve their patrons in the darkness.
Eighteen Thousand Flee City.
During the last twenty-four hours
nine thousand Parisians have left the
city. BY night it is probable that
eighteen thousand more will have fed
Sixty trains furnished by the govern
ment will accommodate at least three
hundred persons each, and all the
places will be taken
The rush to escape the ordeal of the
siege began at a. M today when the
gates of the railroad stations were
opened up. Thousands Of women and
children had waited all night in order
to be sure to get aboard the first
trains out. Soldiers had herded them
into long lines that wound in and out
IN the streets about the stations. No
baggage was allowed on any trains
that left for Bordeaux. Scores left the
lines when they learned that no lug
gage would be permitted, but those
who had anticipated such condition
had packed their most valuable be-
longings into small bundles that they
could carry without trouble.

faulty that it permits of one party

Their party to this extent. In so far
as 1t permits manipulation to the ex-
tent of nominating the weaker candi-
dates for office on the ticket of any

Expense.
One Of the greatest objections to
the present primary law is the matter
of expense. This item is paid by the
counties themselves and does not ap-
pear in the aggregate in state reports.
The expenses of the primary election
of 1912 were approximately 100000
for the state. The primary of 1914
undoubtedly cost more. In addition
to this, the primary law entails the
necessity of making two campaigns
tor any one aspiring to office. The
primary law purports to limit the
amount of expenses during the pri-
mary campaign. The expenses in
Cured by various candidates for Off
&c In Idaho can only be approximated
but it undoubtedly exceeds the cost
Va lAAS Pa AlAldllCSs ACSC CApGISG
items would not be Objectionable if
they produced results in proportion
to their cost, but thew do not. This
being the case, the additional expense
caused by the primaries to the coun-
ties and to the candidates seems to
be useless and waste, and on this ac-
count the expense item is one OF the
biggest objections to the primary law.
As life long member of the Re-
publican party, | wish to protest
against keeping this law on the sta
tute books of the state. We are re-
sponsible for it. 1t is our law. We
nave tested it and found it faulty,
vicious and destructive. Let US have
the courage to wipe it off the books
in the interest of party welfare, party
responsibility to the people, and, as a
consequence, the public good.

Comparisons and Per Centages.
In the state at large the Republican
vote cast, for the three offices named,
general election in the primaries. The
Democratic party cast 43 per cent OF
the general election vote at the pri-
maries. The Republican candidates
for the senate received 80 per cent of
at the primaries. The Democratic
senatorial candidate received SO per
cent. The Republican candidates for
governor received % per cent Of the
vote cast at the genera detection at
the primaries. The Democratic candi-
dates received 81 per cent. For sec
rotary of state the same representa-
tive per centages were II per cent and
81 per cent.
In Group l." 90 per cent Of the
total Republican vote at the general
election was cast for senatorial candi-
dates at the primaries. For governor
ITO per cent and for secretary of
state 81 per cent In the same group
"a per cent of the Democratic vote
cast in the general election was cast
for senatorial candidates at the pri-
maries; "a per cent for governor and
81 per cent for secretary of state,
In Group 3" so per cent of the
Republican votes cast for senator at
the general election was polled by
senatorial candidates at the primaries;
tor governor the per centage was 63,
and tor secretary of state 40 per cent.
In the same group 90 per cent of the
Democratic votes cast for senator at
the general election was polled by
senatorial candidates at the primaries.
The percentage for Governor was 43
and for secretary of state 40.
From these figures it would seem
that IN the counties in Group |" from
70 to ITO per cent of the normal Re-
publican strength voted at the pri-
maries, while only "a per cent to "a
per cent of the normal Democratic
strength voted then. On the other
hand it would seem that in group 2 |
from 40 to 63 per cent of the normal
Republican strength voted and from
43 to 90 per cent of the Democratic |
strength so voted. Does an-,one think |
there was this difference? The con-
elusion was obvious. 1t shows that
in the localities having strong candi-
dates for an Office people will vote
the ticket of the other party, either as
a favor to their candidate friend, or
to help their own party in the general |
election by nominating a weak candi-
date on the opposition ticket at the
primaries. 1t indicates that this was
lone in the counties Of Group |" to
he extent of possibly 80 to 40 per
cent of the vote cast at the primaries.
