Republicans Speep AH
Excepting G0UernOrship

BOISE, Idaho, Nov. o.-(SpeciaL)--
With the exception of Governor, the
entire Republican ticket from United
States Senator down, appears elected
in Idaho tonight. Governor John M
Haines seems to have been defeated by
Moses Alexander, Democrat. by a
plurality of from 5000 to 10000. The
remainder Of the Republican ticket and
including United States Senator James
H. Brady and Addison T. Smith and
Robert McCracken are elected by safe
plurality. The Legislature overwhelm-
ingly will be Republican.
A total OF 13 out of 33 counties in
the state have been reported. The
southeast split on Governor. which ac-
counts for Governor Haines' apparent
defeat. 1t stood solid for the Repub-
lican Congressional delegation. The
southern and southwestern part of the
state cut down Republican majorities,
the vote leaning more to the Progress
sives.
The north appears to have remained
with the Republican party. The two
Progressive candidates for state office,
who had a lead on the early returns,
c. o. Broxon, candidate for State Treas
urer, and Clarence VanDeusen, candi-
date for State Auditor, have had their
majorities cut down with late returns
and unquestionably are defeated. Paul
Clagstone, Progressive candidate for
Senator. together with James II. Haw-
ley. Democratic candidate for Senator,
also were defeated. Hugh e. McElroy,
Progressive candidate for Governor.

Italy Is Reported to Be
FACING Biz Deficit

Rome - All the cabinet ministers
who resigned their portfolios Monday
met Tuesday in the presence Of King
Victor Emmanuel, with whom they
discussed the situation for about two
hours.
Signor Rubini, minister of the treas
ury, gave lengthy explanation of his
reasons for resigning. He said the
budget showed deficit of $4,000, 900
before the war began. That deficit
might easily have been overcome by
an increase in revenues and limiting
expenses, the augmentation of the rev.
enues including the slight raise in tax
alton, which already had been ap-
proved by parliament, and from which
it was expected to realize $4,000, 900
annually. The war, however, changed
the whole situation, Signor Rubini
said, and the military budgets alone
would require $160, 900, 900.
Owing to the European crisis, Sig
nor Rubini continued, the revenues,
instead of increasing, had diminished
by about $40, 900, 900, instead of
s16, 900, 900. He added that he recog-
nized the necessity for urgent military
expenses but wished to counterbalance
them with new taxation.
A majority Of the ministers pre-
ferred to postpone the taxation until
after the war, but Signor Rubini said
such action might be considered un-
constitutional.

BritOns Are Defeated by
Germans In Naval Fight

Valparaiso, Chile-The German war;
ships Gneisenau, Scharnhorst, Nurn-
berg, Leipsic and Bremen Sunday at
tackled the British fleet off Coronel,
Chile. The British cruiser Monmouth
was sunk. The cruiser Good Hope was
badly damaged and, as she was on fire,
is supposed to have been lost.
The British cruiser Glasgow took
refuge in the harbor of Coronel and is
now bottled up. She lis reported to
have been badly damaged.
Damage was inflicted on the British
transport Otranto.
The German warships anchored at
midday in Valparaiso harbor undam-
aged.
The British cruisers Good Hope,
Monmouth and Glasgow were under
command Of Rear Admiral Sir Chris
topher Cradock and had been searching
the coasts of South America several
weeks with the object Of engaging
the German warship which had been
destroying British merchant vessels.
An official report issued later by
Admiral Graf Won Spec said:
..'The action lasted nearly one hour"
the report said, "and it was Ionly dis
continued at nightfall. The British
were forced to give way. The Good
Hope was so badly damaged that she
was unable to resist and could only
make her escape protected by the dark
ness. Between her tunnels the result
of the big explosion could be seen.
"The Monmouth, under identical
conditions, tried to escape, but was
followed by small cruiser and sunk
with a few shots.
"Owing to the hurricane that was
blowing no boats could be lowered and
consequently there was terrible loss
of life.
"It is supposed that the Glasgow
and the Otranto, which were badly
damaged, we're able to make their es-
cape, owing to their speed and the
darkness.
The Germans suffered little or no
damage.
"Only two men wounded were re-
ported in the Cheeseman's crew."
In naval circles here it is said that
the action took place 20 miles off St.
Maria Island, whence the flashes Of
the guns could be seen, but no detona.
tions heard.

ROCKEFELLER TO
FEED BELGIANS
Shipload Of Supplies Is Sent to
Starving Non-combatantS.
Commission Is Sent to Var Torn
Europe to Devise Ways and
Means to Relieve Distress.

New York--The Rockefeller Founda-
tion has determined to employ its inn
mense resources for the relief of nom
combatants in the countries afflicted
by war, and stands ready to give mil
lions of dollars, if necessary" for the
purpose. This was announced by John
D. Rockefeller, Jr., president Of the
foundation.
In pursuance of this philanthropy,
the foundation will send commission
to Europe in few days to report first
hand as to how, when and where aid
can be rendered most effectively. At
cost of $275, 900 it already has char
tered a ship and loaded it with 1000
tons of provisions for the relief of the
starving Belgians.
''This action is taken," Mr.. Rookie
feller says, "as natural step in full
filling the chartered purpose of the
foundation, namely, to promote the
well-being Of mankind throughout the
world. F"
The ship is the Massapequa, the
largest neutral vessel now in New
York harbor, which will sail immedi-
ately for Rotterdam with certification
from the British consul at New York
that its cargo is destined for the use
of Belgian non-combatants only, and
should not be delayed in transit. The
supplies are consigned to the Ameri-
can consul at Rotterdam, and will be
distributed by the Belgian relief COM
mission.
Mr.. Rockefeller has been in COM
munication with Ambassador Page at
London and made public cablegram
in which the ambassador described the
dire need Of the Belgians, and says
that at will require $1,000, 900 a
month for seven months to prevent
starvation"
''In fact" the ambassador said,
"many will starve now before food car
reach them."
| He added that the British groven.
ment forbids the export of food anC
that none can be bought on the con.
tinent.
It was in response to this urgent
message and similar one from H. G.
Hoover, of the American relief COM
mittee in London, that the foundation
decided to send relief ship lat the
earliest possible moment"
Mr.. Rockefeller makes clear in his
announcement that whatever steps are
taken by the foundation in the admin
istration of its relief work twill be
absolutely neutral" The commission
of investigation will be headed by
Wickliffe Rose, director general of the
International Health commission.

MICHIGAN CONTEST is CLOSE

AZ SEATS GAINED
BY REPUBLICANS

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Heavy Repub-
lican gains in yesterdays election gave
assurances of reducing the present
Democratic majority of 141 in the
House of Representatives by big
margin.
At an early hour today the returns
from various states showed net gain
of AZ seats for the Republicans. Many
districts are yet to be heard from. Re-
publican leaders tonight were jubilant
over the prospects some predicting
that the Democratic majority might be
overturned altogether by the final
results.
Democratic control of the Senate,
however, was assured, the possibility
being that it would be increased from
10 to IL through the election of Roger
c. Sullivan Of Illinois. Sullivan's large
plurality in Cook County, however,
may be offset and even exceeded by
Sherman's gains in other counties,
complete returns from which probably
will not be received until late today.
Tariff Effects Vote.

New York. the collapse of the Pro-
gressive vote throughout the country

Unusual developments marked the
contests in North Carolina and New
