WIN
BY A LANDSLIDE
Immense Majority for Ticket in the
Chicago City Election Held
Yesterday.

CHICAGO, April Z. - Returns from
| 400 precints out of 1866 indicate
that William Hale Thompson (Rep.) |
was elected mayor of Chicago yester
day by 10000 plurality over Robert
NJ. Sweitzer (Dem.). Other city offices
were won by Republicans by about
$4,000 plurality, and the city council
is probably Republican for the first
time in five years. The women were
divided between the candidates in
about the same proportion as the
men.
Throughout the campaign the
Thompson managers based many of
their arguments to voters on the as
sertion that business and labor con-
ditions throughout the country pre-
saged a Republican victory.
About 80 per cent of the three
quarters of million votes registered
were cast According to election Off
cials, this set record.
/ Some wards hitherto considered
strongly Democratic We're carried by
the Republican candidate, and SWEET
zer's own precinct, in the heart of
one of the West Side Democratic
strongholds, was carried by Thomp-
son, 800 to 22S.
Sweitzer and his managers conced-
ed the election to the Republicans
early last evening.
In speech to crowd of his fol
lowers last night Thompson said:
''My first official move will be to
have my chief of police drive the
Ipickpockets and thieves out of Chi
cago.
Political writers were divided last
night as to the cause of Thompson /

losses.
In the Combres hills two French battal
ions were destroyed by our fire At Vailh
our troops commenced a counter attacl
and threw the enemy back into his olc
position. At Atremont the enemy had NJ
success.
The other French attacks at Flirey like
wise failed completely. Numerous bodie
cover the fields before our front and tn
number Is increasing owing to the fac

strong forces of the French after bayt
net engagement.

MATAMoRAS REINFORCED.
Villas Field Artillery is Drawing
Nearer Besieged City.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, April 7. -
Arrival of small body of reinforce
ments at the Matamoras garrison was
announced by Carranza officers here
yesterday. Sharp firing was heard
shortly before these reinforcements
rode in, but apparently none of the
Carranza cavalrymen was shot in the
dash between the Villa camps sur
rounding Matamoros.
Aureho CARA commanded the rein
forcements. They were said to have
come from Victoria, 200 miles south.
The garrison today was busy extend
ing a railroad track along the river
bank for few hundred yards toward
the end of the entrenchments opposite
the American shore. 1t appeared pos
sible that box cars filled with dirt
might be run upon this track as a for
tification against attack upon the river
bank. Such cars might also shield
Brownsville somewhat from bullets.
The Villa field artillery trains ad
vanced a little nearer to Matamoros
yesterday passing Reynosa, go miles
west of the invested city.

Icellent manner and much of the credit
of the production is due to Mr.. Phil

Journal des Debats Promises Redress
If Innocent Shippers Suffer
from Blockade.

PARIS, April Z. ~ The Journal Des
Debats, in a long editorial commenting
on the American note regarding the al

it is well reasoned document and
that France and Great Britain viii be
ready to compensate innocent neutrals
for losses due to errors made by French
and British ships. In concluding the
editorial says:
Great Britain and France viii Ger
tainly be in accord with the United
States on another point. They also are
persuaded that whatever innovations
| in the rights of man are deemed neces
sary they should be in conformity at
least with the spirit and principles
| that are the essence of the rules of
war. For their part they have not
infringed either the spirit or princi-
pies. but they are fighting with an enc
my who recognizes no other rule than
force and for whom any means 10 van
qush are good, even the most inhuman,
even the most contrary to sacred laws.
"They find themselves before that
adversary in state of legitimate lie
fence. Seized by the throat. they take
up the arms ready at hand. If third
tparties are disturbed in the course Of
this hand-to-hand fight France and
Great Britain are not responsible.
"Why, instead Of witnessing the
combat as simple spectators, do not
third parties throw themselves upon

innocent passersby? They would thu.
better render homage to principle thar

GERMAN CRUISER
REMAINS IN PORT
Only Chance for Prinz EiteI Friedrich
to Escape is Under Cover of
Darkness.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, April Z. ~
: We are not even thinking about the
internment of the Prinz Eitel Freid-
rich now,' declared Col. Hamilton to-
day after he had waited expectantly
for the German cruiser to leave this
port As he spoke he was preparing
to visit the ship again on orders from
Washington, although he had said
farewell to the German captain and
members of his staff last night.
With the coming of dawn but a few
hours remained in which the Eitel
would be permitted to break through
the Gordon of allied warships lowering
outside the three-mile limit Since her
commander failed to take advantage
of dark night to escape belief here
today was that the cruiser would be
interned
The United States battleship Ala
bama searched Hampton Roads until
almost dawn. The warship was pre-
pared for any emergency which might
have arisen to threaten American neu-
trality.
From his office in the customs house
Mr.. Hamilton kept in close touch with
developments until long after mid
night.
Moving at her fastest speed the
| Eitel could not make the 20 miles from
nier to the open sea in less than two
| hours. When she had not sailed a
midnight marine men became convinc
led that she would intern. Her only
way to escape would be for her to slil
i down the coast well inside the three
mile limit until the enemy s patrol ha,
| been passed. Success for such an at
tempt, they asserted, could be hope
for only under cover of darkness.

DARING FEAT BY PEGoUD.
Brought Down German Aeroplane and
Captured the Two Occupants.

PARIS, April Another daring ex-
plot has been added to the long list
of those successfully carried out by
Adolphe Pegoud, the French aviator,
who is reported to have attacked and
brought down a German Taube near
near Saint Menehould, while he was
alone on patrol duty on April 2. The
report of the incident says that when
Pegoud saw the German approaching
he flew rapidly towards the hostile air
craft and sent it to earth with few
well-placed shots. He then landed be-
side the Taube and took prisoner the
German pilot and observer, neither of
whom was injured. Earlier in the
same day Pegoud is reported to have
driven off three other German aero
planes, one of which had dropped nine
bombs on railroad station.
Pegoud, who first gained fame il
1913, as the originator of the feat o1
flying upside down in an aeroplane
was awarded the French military med
al early in March for services rendered
the army during the war.
