respondent of the Daily Telegraph,
telegraphing regarding the fighting
around Antwerp. under date of Sat
urday says:
The German losses have been
enormous and the numbers killed are
estimated as high as eight thousand
in the present movement
THE Belgians adopted a clever
'ruse at Fort Waelhem After the
bombardment had lasted several
hours the fort ceased to reply, where
upon the German staff, thinking the
fort out of action, ordered the in
fantry to advance in close formation.
The Belgian gunners waited until
they could see the whites of their
eyes and then opened fire.
Thus far the forts in the outer
ring of the Antwerp defenses have
suffered little harm from the German
bombardment. The German big
guns are not being worked by ressu-
lar soldiers. but by men in citizens

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 25.-To Senator
A. c. Anderson, president pro tempore
Of the senate, belongs the distinction
of framing more amendments to the
election laws of the state at this legis-
lative session than any member of
either body. He drafted the bill
passed by both houses fixing the next
senatorial elections for 1916 and 1918,
and also the measure fixing the third
Tuesday in August of alternate years
for congressional primaries
Senator Anderson's latest proposed
reform for the election laws is bill
providing that hereafter the expense
of printing tickets and holding pri-
mary elections shall be paid from the
county treasury. Heretofore the vari-
Gus candidates have been assessed by
the party executive committees to de-
fray this expense, and often It is a
very heavy burden on the candidates.

Mississippi. especially state office,

amounting to more than the first
years salary of the successful aspir-
ant. Senator Anderson believes that
the county should bear this expense,
and that it will be entirely legal to
make this provision.
Another provision of Senator Ander-
sons bill is that hereafter the names
Of candidates shall be placed on tick
cts in rotation or alternate plan, so
that the name of no candidate shall
lead the list oftener than that of any
other candidate. For instance, IL
there are three candidates for Cover
nor, and county has 5000 registered
voters, the name of each candidate
shall appear first on one thousand of
the ballots printed.
This is matter of considerable i'm.
portance, especially to aspirants for
the minor state offices. Often the
average voter who knows nothing
whatever about the qualifications Of
either aspirant, and virtually has nc
choice. will put the cross-mark op

not to the liking Of the supporters of

M. L. Norman, a motorman on the
Hardy Street car line, reported last
night upon his return from the last
run at II o'clock, that he was held I'D
and robbed Immediately after he
reached the Normal College, and al
leges he recognized the parties who
robbed him as two students at the
Normal C llege, who went out on his
ten o'clock run.
Norman states that on his last run
he carried no passengers and upon
reaching the college station, two men,
the lower part of their faces covered
with colored handkerchiefs, pointed
their pistols in his face and demanded
that he give up his money.
While one of the men kept his gun
on him, Norman says the other took
from him his change pouch, which
contained about $40, relieved him of
his watch, which was afterwards re-
turned and then searched his trous-
ers pockets, failing, however, to dis.

Great excitement resulted from the
visit of the officer and motorman to

by officers and others at the college
that the fixing of the blame upon the
young men whom Norman accuses, is
clearly a case of mistaken identity.
Classes have been suspended for the
day.
The Management of the Hattiesburg

of prosecuting the case, in the absence
