escape arrest until her arrival in
Phoenix, although at times the Of

although others had long anticipated
such contingency. The community
as a whole has been stirred to an
unwonted depth of feeling by the de-
parture of it's soldier sons. All, no
less than relatives and personal
friends, awaited with anxiety news Of
the safe arrival of the company at
Douglas, and will follow with watch

wish them health, success, and safe

outcome, we will never for moment
lose sight Of the fact that they have
voluntarily offered themselves in the
service of their country, and in so
doing have earned the respect of us
all. They have proved that this

WARMEsT PRAISE
OF ATTITUDE Of
MANAGER Gates
Assurances to Guardsmen and Sup
port of Organization at This Time
Brings Forth High Commentator
From Militia Officers.

Thanks to the assurances of Gen.
.eral Manager L. S. Gates of the Ray
Consolidated Copper Company, Rays
sons on the border have no cause to
worry about their positions or the
families left behind. Prior to their de-
parture the men were given the per-
sonal promise Of Mr.. Gates that their
positions would be open to them on
their return from active service. and
married members of Company III given
the added assurance that their fam
lilies would be provided for In theii
absence.
General Manager Gates has always
been one of the most enthusiastic sup
porters of the guard, and his action
ut this time has brought forth the
highest commendation on the part of
Adjt Gen. Harris and other national
guard officers, who cannot praise the
Ray Con. Companys attitude too
highly. In an interview published in
last Sundays Republican. the adult
ant general was loud in his praise of
General Manager Gates and his CO.
operation with the guard at this time.
He said, in part:
"The attitude of the, employers has
certainly been most commendable,
said Adjutant General Harris yester-
day afternoon. Manager Gates of
the Ray Consolidated has always
been one of the best men in the
state in his attitude toward the
guard, and his action at this time in
taking care of the families of the.
married men cannot be praised too
highly. The Standard Oil company is
doing all it can. also to help us re-
cruit the national guard to full
strength.

PROTECT FLAG; CO. H
NOW ON THE BORDER

On Thursday. May IL. Ray for the
first time sent out her sons to war,
when the Ray National Guard con-
tingent, 81 strong. pulled out bound
for Douglas. Ariz., where the COM
pany had orders to report for duty
ON the Mexican border. At Douglas
they are to be formally mustered into
the United States service.
All day Wednesday the boys were
gathering at the armory. getting their
campaign kits ready, and generally
preparing for the work ahead of them.
Here and in the courthouse they
passed the night. with armed guards
posted and all the formality of a
military encampment. BY noon on
Thursday all preparations had been
completed, their final inspection drill
made. and they were ready for de-
parture.
Escorted by the Ray Consolidated
Copper Company,s band, they marched
to the point where they were to be
entrained-the station at the r. & G.
v despatcher's office near the Ray
Con shops. The band played few
patriotic selections while the company
formed up on the platform to await
the arrival of the special-and to say
good bye. There was a big crowd
there, too, to assist a. that cere-
mony, and in less than no time the
ranks were broken by eager people.

Godspeed. Promptly at 1:O5 p. m.
the R & G. v. special pulled up to
the platform. At the word of COM
mand "right-faced." and to the strains

And as the special pulled out the
band played, "The Girl Left Behind
Me-" just as thousands of other bands
had played it when United States
soldiers went away to war in 1851
and in the war with Spain. There
was cheering, and handkerchiefs wav-
ing, and lot of US in the crowd
suddenly felt that our feelings were
not quite under control. To be plain
about it-well. some people cried.
Not all of the company will find
soldering a new experience. as it is
stated that at least twenty per cent
of the members have had previous
military training. Captain Carney, In
particular, is an old soldier of the
regular army, which eminently fits
him for the care and training OF
younger men.

Secretary's Statement
Following is the statement issued

Following is the statement issued by
Jordan concerning the situation:
Under the provisions of section 1913 of
the political code, it is the duty of the
secretary of state to compare and esti-
mate the votes given for electors. Such
comparisons and estimates are to be
made as soon as returns are received from
all the counties in the state
I'm Marysville, precinct No. 3, II Demo
cratic electors are credited with So votes
each, but the votes received by Loren A.
Handley, Democratic elector, have not
been credited because the election clerks
failed to include the vote in their returns
to the supervisors. The supervisors could
not ascertain such vote, and therefore the
county clerk was unable to include 1t in
the returns to this office. The returns
from this county are incomplete.
In the county of Orange more glar-
ing case Of Acknowledgement is presented
All the voters of Orangethrope precinct
have been denied an expression oe their
wishes as indicated by the votes. Because
the tally lists are in the sealed envelopes
containing the ballot the board of super
visors could not ascertain the vote in tina,
precinct and the returns certified to this
office are not complete because Of such
omission.
eff these mistakes are not correct
ed why cannot other mistakes be per-
mitted to occur in other counties and
precincts and thus the will of the
voters be thwarted and confusion re-
suit?
ut is the duty of the Democratic
and Republican State Central COM
mittees to take immediate steps to
have these mistakes corrected even

New York, Nov. 22.-William r.

National Committee, tonight issued the
following statement in reference to

Wilson:
Having conferred by telephone dur
ing the day and late this afternoon

teemen in California I am Informed
that the official canvass of the vote
has been SO nearly completed that no
change will result from the few pre-
cincts not counted in the returns thus

This means that the majority for
the Wilson electors in California
ranges from about 1900 to $500 votes
and that this is the final result of the
canvass for which we have been wait
ing. So far as any recount is con-
cerned the National Committee is not

grounds to call for such an applica-

Fought Last Week

The battle was fought from Nov. Is
to II, after the German and Austro-
Hungarian forces in a week OF steady
combats had forced their way from
the SUBMITS of the mountains on the
Rumanian- Transylvanian frontier to
the foot of the Alpine regions, master
ing the armored turrets of the per-
manent frontier Notifications with big
mortars and breaking the Rumanian
resistance wherever it was encount-
cred.
Elected from the wild mountainous
regions to the rolling foothills beyond,
the Rumanians, who by now had re-
ceived heavy Russian achievements,
elected to stand on the range of hills
running east and west and lying
south of Tirgujiulij. the first import
ant town south Of the mountain.
The German and Bulgarian
forces attacked them with fervor and
after three days of heaviest fighting,
crushed their way by frontal attacks
through the middle of the Rumanian
line from the jul to the Filort rivers.
The Rumanian losses in the battle are
described as very heavy. The German
cavalry had been held in readiness be-
hind the line and the squadronS now
poured through the breach and raced
down through the valley towards the
railway so miles away, driving before
them the fleeing Russians and Ruma-
mans and breaking the resistance of
all but the strongest units which still
held together So rapid and unrelent-
ing was the pursuit that on November
10 the cavalry had reached the Orosova-
Craiova railroad line. The pursuing
forces of General F'alkenhain continued
to sweep like a flood down the valley
and now have reached point just out
side of Orsova. one Of the most impor-
tant towns of Rumania.

SAYS REPUBLICAN

Fresno, Cal, Nov. 22.-Chester H.

tonight, said:
whether there are such irregulari-

ceedings in the courts is matter
which the state committee will have
to determine after consultation with
Chairman WILCOX and the national
committee in New York. But certainly

Story Of Sinking
Of Britannia

London. Nov. 23.-The Daily News
Athens correspondent sends the fol-
lowing concerning the sinking of the
Britannia:
THE Britannia was torpedoed at 8
O'Clock in the morning and sank near
shore 50 minutes later. She was going
to Salonilta but had no wounded OH
board.
Her complement included 121 nurses
and 800 officers and men Of the army
medical corps. Twenty five of the in,
jured from the steamer now are In
the Russian hospital, while others are
aboard allied warships.

sci sinking and the victims struggling

to the appeals for help and an Anglo
French squadron from Piraeus, COM

Immediately went to the scene.
1.-THE injuries of some of those on
board are very severe, especially the
occupants Of two boats which were
caught by the propellers Of the steam
err. The women on Zea tore up their
clothing to bandage the injured.
THE Britannia had 5000 beds, which had
been prepared for the reception Of sick
and wounded an hour prior to the torpe-
DOING
The smallness of the loss of life on
board the Britannia is believed here to
have been due to the steamers magnifi-
cent life saving equipment. She had a
double bottom over five feet deep, divid-
ed into large number of compartments,
and this system extended well above her
waterline.
The ship carried As of the largest size
lifeboats ever fitted to an ocean liner,
two Of them being equipped with powerful
engines. They were arranged in four
groups, leaving a large space for the
marshaling of passengers in case Of dis
aster. The davits were built on a new
principle so the boats could be launched
electrically on an even keel even if the
ship were badly listing. 1t also was
possible to launch all the boats from the
side if necessary The ship had 16 trans
verse bulkheads and six of the main
compartments could be flooded without
affecting the stability of the ship
