EXPECT EVERY CITY TO
 USE NEW ELECTION PLAN

ASHTABULA, O., Dec. S.-Under Ashtabula's new government by Proportional Representation every faction of voters totaling more than one-eight of the votes cast, gets one representative in the city council. The change was made Nov. 2.
 Ashtabula with 10000 population is the first American city to adopt the plan. It is said to be truly represent ative of all the citizens. The plans advocates predict that it will be gen erally adopted. They claim it is bas- ed on principle while others are bas- ed on patronage. The citizens are said to be pleased with it,
 Party control, an objection to the City Manager plan, has been obviated by the Ashtabula principle, it is said. It is asserted that by having the best man of any group of voters seek a council place on his groups principles, ward politics is abolished.
 There were 14 candidates for z places, each nominated by per cent voters petition on non-partisan bal lots. Each candidates faction was stated after his name. Each voter put the figure 1 after his first choice. His vote counted for but 1 candidate but he could make as many secondary choices as there were names. The councilmen were chosen at large.
 Elections to office were determined by dividing the total vote by s giv- ing, in Ashtabula, a quotient of 372 on the basis of 2,972 valid votes. Any candidates with 372 first choice votes, were elected. If he had aver 372 they were given to the next highest man not already elected. Low candidates were dropped and their votes added to the next highest choice on the ballot. When the ballots were counted the business faction had 8, the Irish, Swede and Italian 1 each and the Socialist; (the only party mentioned) one.

The littlencss of this old world of ours and the vastness of the European conflict are proven by the close con- nection which some people in Seward have with the great war. One young Seward lady was made a widow by the war. The brother of Seward's chief of police was amongst the wounded and then amongst the miss ing" in the Dardanelles. Another man well known here is in a Boston hospital with broken back sustained by a fall from his aeropalne whi e acting as aviator with the French army. Several citizens of this town have relatives in the trenches on all sides and, to cap it all, member of Henry Ford's peace mission wrote a special article in last months All Alaska Review about the proposed Alaska university.

Australian Soldier Is Commended For Fitting
 Periscopes To Rifles

Melbourne. Australia, Sept. 18.- Major General Birdwood who com rnands the Austra1asian troops engag- ed at the Dardanelles has lately writ ten a letter to the Governor-Genera1 of the Commonwealth, Sir Ronald Munro Ferguson, in which he says:
 Our complete moral superiority over the Turk is partly due to the very clever invention of a, man named Beach, who produced 9 periscopic rifle. When we got here we denuded the whole transports sof their looking glasses, and. made up some 2,000 peri scopes on our little beach. This man then made a very simple device. The result is the Turk only sees the mug gle of a rifle coming over the para apet without anything behind it to shoot at, and we understand from prisoners that he dis1ikes this intensely
 In connections with the foregoing. the following extract from the army corps orders is cited by the Common wealth Minister of Defence:
 The Army Corps commander wishes to record his appreciation of the clever invention of a periscopic att tachment for the rifle, the work of Lance Corporal w. c. B. Beach, End Battalion, Australian Imperial Force. As so far as is known this invention has not been tried in France, the lieu tenant-general, commanding has for warded the idea to Lord Kitchener for consideration"

FEWER BUSINESS FAILURES ARE REPORTED IN ENGLAND

London. Sept. 1s.-ThS report of the inspector general in bankruptcy for the year ended December 31, 1914, states that the humber of failures in England and Wales for the year shwos a large falling off, being the smallest since the bankruptcy act of 1883 came into operation, the decrease being attributable to the, war.
 During the first seven months of the year yreceivership orders were made in z,167 cases and in the last five months only 500.
 While the number of failures has decreased the liabilities and assets have substantially increased and the total estimated loss to creditors is nearly two millions sterling in excess of the loss estimated in the preceding year.
