FRANCE SUPPORTS
 CHINESE QUES7IuN
Joins With Other Allies Asking
 Postponenent Of Monarchy

Peking. Nov. 3.-France has given her support to the } representations made to China by Japan, Great Brit ain and Russia concerning the ad-
 visa ability of postponing the decision
 as to establishment of monarchy.
 Although the French government was not represented in the original action and accordingly was believed to have decided to abstain from participation, today the French Minister, A. R. Conty, called at the foreign office. He gave verbal ratification of the request of the other three powers.
 Notwith standing the declination of the Chinese government to postpone the decision, on the ground that the matter now rests in the hands of the people, it is possible that the actual change in the form of government, if decided upon may not be made for some time. There is an unverified rumor that if the election now in progress results in favor of a mon archy, coronation of the emperor will be delayed until the conclusion of the European war.
 Discussing the refusal of the United States to support the Japanese rep resentations, the Picking News, which reflects the views of the Chinese government, says editorially: Had America acquiesced to the pressure upon China at this critical moment, the country bent upon predatory ad venture under the never failing guise of maintaining peace in the Far East would have been encouraged. America evidently is watching events which may be disquieting to others but is source of comfort and encoura cement to China"

LECTURE ON SLAVIC ART'.
Culture of the Russians Treated By
 Boston Professor.

Professor Clinton L. Babcock of Boston gave most interesting lecture yesterday afternoon before the Wo- mans club on "Slavic Art", dealing especially with Russia. The Rus sians, a people of whom ninety per cent are peasants, illiterate and down. trodden, have been. found by educa- tors to appreciate the best that liter ature has to offer in the works of such. men as Tolstoi, Shakespeare and Dickens. :''' ~--"
 Because of the laws of the church there is practically no sculpture but their work in textiles is wonderful and the love of the art of mosaic has achieved greater results in Russia than elsewhere. Their civilization is less than 200 years old, yet the soul of the people shines out through bor- rowed European culture .andthas ac- complished much that is worth while in art; in literature, an utter free dom from conscious dramatic effort; in painting, a story telling that is a wonderful blending of beauty, gaiety and horror, so characteristic of the nation-a people who are indeed wise, tender and pitiful Professor Bab- cock said we should judge the Rus sians by the expression of their souls in their art.

 In New York, former Congressman William S. Bonnet was elected in the 23rd district to succeed the late demo- cratic congressman Jacob Goulden. Bonnet is a republican. Republicans will succeed in the 31st and 36th con- gressional district of New York and the 24th district of Pennsylvania.
 In New York the republicans re- tain their control of the lower house of the legislature, although they lost one assem blyman. They also elected a majority of the mayors chosen in cities of the state.
 In addition to defeating the suffrage amendment by about 210,0OO votes, the people of New York repudiated the new state constitution drafted by q convention of which E1ihu Root was president and for which MT. Root had conducted a vigorous speaking cam paign.
 Samuel w. Mccall, the republican who will succeed David l. Walsh, a democrat, as governor of Massachu- setts, won by a plurality of 6,6O3. The republicans retain control of the Massachusetts legislature.

 In New Jersey the republicans gained two state senators and two members of the assembly and will continue in control of both houses of the legislature.

Berlin, Nov. 3, (By wireless to Say vile, N. Y.)-The Tages zeitung pub fishes additional details concerning the voyage from Germany to the Dar- danelles last spring of the submarine U-51, under command of Capt. Harsing. Quoting from this article the Overseas News Agency says: Tn addition to sinking the British battle ships Triumph and Majestic the sub- marine during the voyage sunk sev- eral British trading ships. Among them was the John Hardie.
 This steamship was sunk after the crew had left. When the submarine e fired the first shot one Hindu was observed, still on boar5. Then it was perceived that he was dragging an- other Hindu, whoEe feet were fettered. Both Hindrs were saved by the Ger mans. This is another example of British treatment ef Hindus, after the principle that the best Hindu is a dead HinGu."

A Word to the Voters.

The Office of Circuit Judge is
in our hands, and we are to say
to whom it shall be let, If we
had a job of clearing or fencing
on our farm, we would not have
much trouble in deciding who
should have the job, even if there
were several wanting it. We
would surely give it to the man
who was worthy of it, able to do
it, dependable, and who needed
the pay.
Now, in the selection of a
candidate for Circuit Judge, we
ought to strive to do the best for
ourselves, the best for the dis
trict, and give the place to the
candidate who needs it most, pro-
vided he is worthy and we'll quail
fled. In this connection l want
to say a word for W. D. 0'Neal,

common to the life of poor boys

had to dc, went to the district
school, studied hard, was obedient
and kind to his parents and am.
bilious to be worth something to
the world. AS a teacher he
measured up with the best. His
ability as a lawyer is known to
all and questioned by none. He
is absolutely dependable and high.
ly honorable. 1t has been sale

best qualified man in the district
for the Office to which he aspires
We have been voting for many
years for the sons of Other
