The Lighthouse Man
BY VIRGINIA VALE.

Once upon a time Eva lived
with her parents very near the
sea. Her home was so near 1t that
she could see the lighthouse from
her bedroom and after she went TO
bed she could see the light the
last thing before she went to sleep.
although her father told her that
II must be at least ten miles away
Every night she would watch
for it to be lighted and would often

ASSERT WILSON WOULD
HAVE BEEN DEFEATED
Republicans Say Tuesdays Elections
Show President Would
Not Have Won.

Notwithstanding the claims made by
administration leaders that the elec-
tions Tuesday are to be reckoned as a
democratic victory, republicans are say
ing today that had President Wilson
been running for reelection he would
have been defeated. The republicans
declare that the electoral votes of all
the states, except the solid south, Kan
sas, California, Colorado, Missouri, Ne
braska. Oklahoma, Utah and West Vir-
ginia, would have gone republican.
They figure this because in all the 9TH
er states the republicans elected a ma
jority of the members of the next
House of Representatives. In Califor-
MIA, Utah and West Virginia, where
the vote between the republicans and
democrats is evenly split, the repub-
llcans say they would have taken at
least one-half the electoral votes They
claim, too, that in these states the DEM
ocrats would have been badly beaten
had not the progressive party candi-
dates been in the field.
On the count of electoral votes
claimed by the republicans President
Wilson would have received 232 cleo
toral votes and the republican candi-
date 296. At the election two years
ago President Wilson received 435.

ing at anchor for several weeks off
Stapleton, Staten Island, the German
steamship BarbarosSa was today re-
turned to the company docks. Contin-
ued presence of British cruisers off the
entrance to the harbor while the Bar

lief that a dash to sea by the liner was
anticipated. officials of the line say
that she is being returned because the
docks are again clear.

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

Reports from British and
French sources today make ths'
claim that the German attack is
weakening and that the allies now
have a reasonable hope of driving
back their foes to the interior Of
Belgium, and thus compelling
general retirement along the rest
of the line. German advices,
however, offer no basis for such
a conclusion.
Apparently the Germans are
bringing in heavy reinforcements
in the determination of increasing
instead of diminishing the fury of
their attack. Emperor William is
said to be at the scene, personally
directing the attack.
Along the rest of the line the
offensive generally remains with
the Germans.
In the east the Russians claim
a decisive victory over the Aus
TRANS. They have recaptured the
town of Jaroslaw, near the long
disputed fortress of Przemysl,
Petrograd reports, capturing 5000
Austrian prisoners. The Aus
trians are now said to be in re-
treat.
Russia is prosecuting vigorous
ly the war against Turkey. Petro-
grad advices are that Russian
forces have entered Armenia by
two routes, and that several
Turkish regiments have been cap
tured.
The Turkish feet continues its
activities in the Black sea, hav-
ing bombarded the fortified Rus
sian seaport of Batum.
A British steamer is said to
have been sunk off Avail, Asia
Minor, and two British vessels
are reported to have been seized
by the Turks at Smyrna.
The British and Japanese forces
attacking Tsingtau are concen-
trating their efforts, according to
official announcement in Toxic,
toward the capture of outlying
German forts, which must be
taken before the attack on the
main positions is inaugurated.
