Balloting

New York, April 6.-Returns from
Tuesdays primary elections throughout
New York state of delegates to the Re
publican, Democratic and Progressive ma
tional convention and members of state
and county committees show light vote
and few contests.
Interest in the Republican primary
centered upon the question whether the
old time party organization had cut the
vote for Governor Whitman as one of
the four delegates large to the nation
al convention and thereby lessened his
prestige in the coming campaign for re-
nomination. Friends of the governor
asserted yesterday that the organization
men elected in Erie county and the
strong vote cast for Whitman in SYRIA
cuse and some of the other upstate cit
les was entirely satisfactory to them.
Opponents OF William Barnes said
there was evidence OF a strong opposition
to Mr. Barnes reelection as member Of
the Republican national committee.
State Chairman Frederick c. Tanner said
Barnes delegates were defeated by two
to one in districts where there were con.

RUSSIANS RESUME
 GALICIAN ATTACK
ARMENIAN REFUGEES
 WE'RE FORGED TO EAT
 THEIR OWN CHILDREN.

Boston, Aug. 18-A state ment describing the hardships suffered by Armenian refugees in northern Arabia was made public today by Rev. Dr. James l.. Barton, chairman of the American committee for Ar menian and Syrian relief. pr. Barton said that the statement came from an eye witness, not an American, and could be de- pended upon as uneXaggerated.
 The eye witness said that of $500 deported Armenians at Meskene a part had found en- ployment, but the rest were begging.
 ''In every tent" he said, there are sick and dying. Many hundreds of the sick are left without any tent and covering. I saw desperate ones throw themselves in grave trenches and beg the grave diggers to bury them. The government does not give the hungry any bread"
 He described one party of 500 which had been sent from place to place, without food. As nour1shment, he said, they cooked grass, pressed the wa ter out and made balls which they dried in the sun. In Hama he found the deported Armen- ians subsisting on locusts and dead dogs. Similar conditions were found in other places.
 'In each deportation" the statement continues, "at least five to six perish through the wild mishandling of the accom- panying gendarmerie.
 "In Sepka a preacher from Aintab told me that parents have often killed their children. At the government investigation it was shown that some people had eaten their children"

 MANUFACTURERS SPY
Men of EImwood Plant Quit With Superintendent -
 New Haven allure.

Hartford, Aug. 18.-The entire plant of the Abbott Ball Co.,, in Elm wood, a suburb of Hartford was closed today, following the action ot the force in walking out Thursday afternoon in sympathy with thelr factory superintendent, John w. Bryce. It is alleged that George E. Abbott, owner of the plant, for some reason or other, hired a detective and put him at work as a toOlmaker to watch Bryce. The reason has not been disclosed Bryce discharged the toolmaker Thursday noon. The detective then went to MT. Abbott and at once an argument ensued between Abbott, the detective, Superintendent Bryce and Charles Koehler, general superintendent. The detective was knocked down, it was said, by Bryce. Following this action, every man in the plant walked out.
 MT. Bryce said, today, that the whole affair would probably be strengthened out in a few days. He knew of no reason for MT. Abbott's alleged actions. MT. Abbott could not be reached today. He left his home early in the morning and had not returned. Bryce came to the plant some years ago from the New Departure in Bristol, where Abbott also worked one time

French Claim Capture of F7eury.


 Paris, Aug. IS, noon.-Heavy at tacks were made by the French last night on the Verdun front. After vio- lent fighting at F7leury, east of the Mouse, they expelled the Germans from part of the town which had been captured, says the official state ment of today.
 Several German counter attacks on the Somme front southeast of Maure- pas were repulsed. - The French also made considerable progress in the region of Thiaum ont, in the Verdun sector. Fifty Germans were captured there.
 The statement follows:
 North of the Somme several at tempted counter attacks by the enemy against our new positions south east of Maurepas failed under our fire. We took some prisoners
 South of the Somme, we recovered four machine guns in trenches taken by us south of Belloy.
 "On the right bank of the Mouse (Verdun front) an attack by our troops enabled us after a violent com bat to drive out the Germans from a portion of the village of Fleury which they were occupying.
 Some enemy troops are still main taining themselves in a small clumr of ruins on the eastern edge of the village. Between Thiaumont an6 Fleury our troops also made an ap. preciable advance. Fifty prisoners including an officer, remained in ou1 hands. We also captured a machine gun.

BETTER TELEGRAPH SERVICE
Western Union Is to Keep Office Open Until 1 a. m. and Two Hours Later Than Usual on Sunday.

Through the activity of President George M. Landers of the Chamber of Commerce, the hours during which New Britain people will have access to telegraph accomm odations will be extended within a few days by the Western Union Telegraph company. At present the company's office in this city is open from a. m. to 10 D. m., but within a few days the hours will be extended from a. m. to 1 a. m. On Sunday evening the of the new schedule goes into effect the closing hour will be 10 D. m.
 In addition to his interest in the matter from the standpoint of his of flee in the Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Landers considered the problem from a personal angle. As a manu- facturer he realizes that the service given New Britain is not of the best. Manufacturers frequently wish to communicate with representatives by m cans of night letters in reply to mail letters received late in the af- ternoon or early evening. Heretofore they have been unable to attend to their correspondence thoroughly be- cause of the lack of wire facilities but this will be reme edied within a short time when the new office hours are adopted.
 MT. Landers believes the new sched- ule is merely preliminary to twenty four hour service.
