LONG MARCHES NECESSARY.
fBp Associated Press.

Berlin, April 2-The prodigious
marches accomplished by some of the
German troops, especially before the
battle of Tanneberg and in the last
battle of the Masurian Lakes, have
moved a local historian to make inter-
esting comparisons with famous
marches of other days. He concludes
that no troops have ever before made
such a record in this respect as the
soldiers now in the armies in the
East.
An average march, he says, is 20 to
81 miles, but after three days day of
rest is observed if this pace has been
kept. On the famous retreat of the
10000 Greeks under Xenophon, after
the battle of Kunaxa in 401 b c.,
from near Babylon to Trapezunt on the
Black Sea, the average days march
was 16 3-4 miles, but this average was
secured by several forced marches of
27 IL miles, and the normal day $
march was about Is IA miles.
A striking accomplishment was
that of Napoleons Guards. who COW
cred 10 miles in six days on their
march to take part in the battle OF
Jena, and that over bad roads through
the Thuringian Forest. The Ninth
Germany army corps with exhausting
marchers behind it, covered As miles

SO hours on December is and II. 1870.
over muddy road, and was ready to
fight the next day.
One East Prussian regiment
marched 122 miles in five days to Join
Hindenburg's army, and took part in
the battle of Tanneberg in the after
noon of the fifth day without stopping
to rest

Election Day Draws
Nigh In Eight States
Importance Of Suffrage Test
Indicated

Eight states, New York, Massa-
chusetts, Maryland, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Ohio and
Mississippi, will hold elections on
Tuesday, November 2.
In four of these states, Massa-
chusetts, Maryland, Kentucky and
Mississippi, governors are to be
elected in six states, New York,
Massachusetts,, Maryland, New
Jersey, Kentucky and Mississippi,
the state legislatures, in whole or
in part, are to be elected, and in
five states, New York, Massachus-
setts, Maryland, Pennsylvania and
Ohio, important constitutional is
sues are to be decided.
With a few exceptions, in fact,
these constitutional questions will
be the dominant issues on election
day, including as they do such
fundamental matters as woman
suffrage, municipal home rule,
prohibition, state income, taxes,
referendum plans and some lesser
reforms.
The woman suffrage question
will come up for decision in New
York, Pennsylvania and Massa-
chusetts, which states will furnish,
in point of population, the greatest
test the suffrage issue has ever
had in the United States. New Jer-
: sey, the first state in the East to
5 vote on equal suffrage, defeated
= the proposition at a special cleo
ton given over exclusively to the
suffrage question on October 19.
While it has been held by some po-
|, litical observers that the result OF
S the test in New Jersey would be
l. reliably indicative of what might
j. be expected in the three bigger
: neighboring states, the suffrage
= leaders have not been discouraged
r. by the big majority with which
e, the issue was defeated in New
II Jersey, and look forward to the
IF bigger tests with confidence.
The Importance of this fact i!
indicated by the fact that, in poin'
10 of population, the states of New
h York, Pennsylvania, and Massa
!, chusetts which will vote on suf
v frage November 2, include owe
at 20 million people-a fifth of th
ss population of the entire Unite'
r States-and these 2O,O00,000 ar
a. practically double the population
d. of the states in which equal suf
h. frage has as yet been fully achiev
ir ed.

McMullen is at disadvantage

He has perfect right to serve as

A new home for Mr.. and Mrs.

New Heating Plant Being
Installed At M. E. Church

improvements representing an
expenditure of $1,000 are being
made on the Newark M. E. church.
A new up-to-date heating plant is
being installed and lavatories
placed in the basement. Owing to
the fact that the church was built
without a cellar, it has been nee
essary to dig and build at the
rear of the church. The work is
being so done that the masonry
could serve as a foundation for an
annex to the building. L. B.
Jacobs of Newark is doing the
work.
