MUST FILE CERTIFICATES
Twenty Days Before primary
Time Limit.

The time for filing of certificates with
the Election Supervisors by local candi
dates is growing short Under The
Primary Election Law all candidate:
must secure from the Supervisors ot
Elections a proper blank and fill out ac-
cording to law. These certificates must
be properly sworn to and filed with the
Supervisors not less than twenty days
before the day oHthe primaries. All
Offices which pay more than thee hum
dred dollars the fee shall be $25 90. under
that amount $40. 90. Such Offices as State
Central Committeeman, Delegates to the
State Convention and precinct executives
pay no fee as there is no remuneration
attached to such offices. In this county
the candidates for Clerk. Register of
Wills, House of Delegates, Sheriff,
County Treasurer, Assistant County
Treasurer, States Attorney County Com
missioners must post twenty-five dollars
with his papers. the other offices such as
Judges of the Orphans Court, must post
ten dollars.
When the full list is in the Supervisors
will cause the list to be printed alpha
beticaly in the newspapers at least eight
DAYS before the day of the primaries.
The primary ballots will be arranged
alphabetically in groups the same as the
official ballot. except there will be no
party designation, because all the Demo-
cratic candidates are printed on white
paper and the Republican candidates on
blue paper. There is nothing official
about the ballots. They can9be distribut-
ed widely if desired. The official part of
the primary election is the envelope into
which the ballots are placed by the voter.
The voter is supposed to go into the booth
and place his ballot in the official en-
velope. The ballots will be printed so as
to show the first and second choice of the
State officers like Governor. Comptroller,
Attorney General. There is no first and
second choice on the local ticket, the voter
simply placing a cross mark opposite the
name of the candidate for whom he
wishes to vote.
The Corrupt Practices Act governs the
Primary Election the same as the general
election, and the same laws about solicit
ing voters within one hundred feet of the
polls and all other requirements of the
general election law holds good for the
primary elections. The primary ticket in
Cecil County will be a very large one this
year as there are several candidates for
every Office to be voted for.
Candidates for the State Convention
and for the Democratic State Central
Committee must file their papers the
same as other candidates. If there are
not more candidates filed for these offices
than the number to be selected then there
is no reason to print the name of the
caadidate on the official ballot This is |
also true of any other county officer.

Buffalo on Wichita National Forest

The governments herd of buffalo on
the Wichita National Forest. in Oklahoma,
which is also federal game preserve,
has been increased by the arrival of ten
calves. according to a report received by
the Forest Service from the supervisor in
charge. The herd, which now comprises
sixty-two specimens ofthe almost extinct
bison. is in good condition, and promises
to continue increasing at rapid rate.
Three years ago the buffalo herd on the
Wichita Forest was little more than half
as large as it is now. II is said that the
other game animals in the preserve, in
cluding the elk and antelope, also are in
creasing, due to the protection afforded,
not only against hunters, but against VOL
YES, wild cats. and other predatory ami
mails. which committed serious depreda-
tions from the establishment of the pre-
serve in 1905 until measures were taken
10 stop them. In protecting the game
from predatory animals, the wardens and
forest officers are also promoting the in
terests of local stockmen, who Craze sew
eral thousand head Of cattle on certain all
lotted areas within the preserve.

Wilson Is Certain
of Germans Loyalty

Washington, May %. President
Wilson has never doubted the loyalty
of the German-American citizens. and
has lust now taken occasion to put his
views and beliefs into writing at the
solicitation of Paul J. Prodohel, presi-
dent Of the German Catholic Union. OF
Baltimore The letter in which the
President expresses his views was
written on May 90 after he had re-
ceived a letter from the German Cath
Ollie Union in which were set forth
resolutions subscribed TO by more than
s 900 members of that organization.
Following is the letter from President
Wilson which Mr.. Prodohel will read
10 the members OF the union at the
next meeting:
MY Dear Mr.. Prodohel: Nav | not
thank YOU sincerely for the resolutions
of the German Catholic Union. which
you so courteously conveyed to me in
your letter Of May II?
For myself. have never for mo-
ment doubted the loyalty and fidelity
10 our nation and our flag of the Amer
leans of German derivation and ances-
try. but it Is very gratifying. indeed, 10
get so patriotic resolution, conceived
in so high a spirit"

Embassy at Vienna
Almost Cut Off

Washington. May 22--Oficials and
diplomats here believed tonight that
the opening Of hostilities between Italy
and Austria would not long be post
poned and that such delay as had oc-
CURED was due 20 the fact that ltaly's
military preparations had not been
completed.
The severance Of relations between
Italy and Austria. even 20 the limited
extent TO which it has already taken
place, involving the cutt;oS Of the tele-
graph and railroad lines, has MADE IT
necessary for the SisJe department 70
find another route for communications
with Berlin and Vienna. Heretofore
mails and cablegrams have been sent
20 these capitals BY the French Gable
and land lines 20 Rome, whence they
were relayed 20 Austria and Germany.
SO far the State Department has
made almost no use Of the radio syS-
tenn Of communication, and il is now
considering the routing of cablegrams
via The Hague or Copenhagen. Mails
probably will so via Sweden or Den
mark.
Two cablegrams reached the State
Department tonight from Vienna, com
ing by way of Rome, showing that so
far communication has not been cut.
Communication with Turkey is still
maintained by way OF Greece, but it
is very uncertain and cable messages
frequently require several days 10 or
from Constartinople.

BERLIN TO MAKE
NEW PROPOSALS
Continued from page l

bv officials here. After the German
note is received, however, il is practi-
callv certain that representations on
the general subject of the commercial
embargo imposed by the Allies on IN
tercourse with Germany will be made.
There is no tendency among oihcials
here TO underestimate the seriousness
OF the situation which may result IN
the event of an unfavorable reply from
Berlin to the American representa-
tions. On one point in particular 1t IS
known that the Washington govern.
ment will insist-complete disavowal OF
any intention 10 destroy American lives
and full reparation for injuries sus-
tanned.
Ii the German reply should cover
this point satisfactorily, 1t IS felt that
ARRANGEMENTS for the future safeguard
ing of American citizens can then be
approached through further diplomatic
correspondence, for il is expected that
III, German reply will suggest arrange
ments whereby passenger and contra
band traffic Of belligerent merchantmen
might be separated.
In Austro-German circles here II
was said to-day that the reply 70 tne
American note might be delayed lot
several DAYS and that this should not
he construed as meaning that the I'M
portance of the issue is not realized
but that the Italian situation IS so
messing that the completion OF the
reply may be unavoidably delayed.
Ambassador Gerard, in a cabled as
patch to-day from Berlin 10 the state
u ,partment, stated that reports 10 the
effect that members of the American
Embassy staff are advising Americans
to leave Germany at once are without
foundation.
