In pcriious Position,

The extreme left flank of the Turk
ish line tn Asia Minor is operating
along the southern iittoral of tile
Black Sea and is also apparently in
a perilous situation Not far from
the frontier of the Russian Caucasus
the Turks had concentrated at "a strong
position and were firmly estacifsned
there
With the cooperation of the Rus
sian fleet the Turks have now been
expelled from these trenches and are
ra.rcat,ng ga rrebizond. IL is said
they will either have to take To the
coast road ana be exposed TO the fire
OF the Russian naval guns or pass
through Humiush Hame, some dis
lance inland and probably find their
path barred by Russians from Free
rum.
Altogether. the situation of thu
Turks ia Armenia seems To be almost
hopeless.

Disagreement Between w. {. Lightcap
and Jack Steadman Leads Latter
to Reveal Well-Planned Plot


to Reveal WeIl-Planned Plot
Their failure to agree over the own
ership of dollar bill landed William
E. Lightcap, of near CentGrville Md. D..
and Jack Steadman. of Battle Greek,
Mich. in the Kent County Jail at
Chestertown Wednesday night and
probably saved the life of John E.
George, of Sudlersville, former Auto
mobile Commissioner, whom. it is
alleged. they had planned to murder.
Steadman gave the Kent county officers
information of the plot to shoot and
kill the county Democratic leader after
Lightcap had warrent sworn out
for Steadman's arrest on the charge
Of larceny of one dollar. According
to Steadman's statement, he was To
have gone to Mr.. Georges home in
Sudlersville Wednesday night. accom-
panied by Lighteap. Lightcap was to
call Mr.. George to the door and the
Michigan man was to shoot him.
To bear out his statement. Steacman
DISPLAYED a pistol and a number of
bullets.
Steadman asserted that Lighteap
promised to pay him $50 to shoot Mr..
George, and said the 81 over which
their disagreement started was the
first installment on the payment.
Lightcap denies the entire story.
The first intimatiOn the Kent county
authorities had of the alleged plot
came Wednesday afternoon when
Steadman was arrested. Deputy
Sheriff Adelphus Davis was taking
Steadman from Chestertown to Mill
ingtOn for hearing. when the prisoner
voluntarily unfolded the details of the
alleged plot to murder Mr. George.
The officer continued to Millington
with his prisoner and instead of hav.
ing him arrnigned for hearing placed
him in the Millington lookup anC
commenced a search for Lightcap.
The latter was finally located and alsC
placed in Jail. He refused to max,
any statement beyond stating that h,
knew nothing about a plot.
Steadman said Lightcap offered hin
$50 to murder Mr.. George. telling hin
that with Mr.. George out of the way
he (Lightcap) could return home.
Mr.. George returned home from
Baltimore Wednesday and was sur

Get Out the Vote I

While some of the distant readers of
the Democrat will know the result OF the
presidential election before this issue Of
the paper reaches them, most of the local
readers will see it before the polls open,
or at least before they close.
It should not be necessary to urge that
every voter get to the polls and cast his
vote. The privilege and the duty of
casting a vote to aid in deciding 10
whose hands the administration of the
government for the next four years shall
be, ought to be sufficient for every one.
In spite of all the claims, arguments
and prophecies that are made this year,
as they are made in every campaign, the
indications are that Charles Evans
Hughes will be elected president on
Tuesday. But this will not be If the
Republican voters are affected by indo-
lsnce or indifference, and fail to register
their votes.
The result of the state election in
September gives forecast of the result
that may be expected in Maine on Tues
day. But the duty of voting is no less
urgent that II was in September.
Get out and vote, and see that every
other Republican does the same.
