about himself and tried to jump up and
throw himself on top of her to shield
her.
But YOU can think of things far quick
er than you can do them, and shells are
nearly as quick as thinking. Before the
Emperor had got his fingers out OF the
CLAW and his knee doubled up to rise
there was most tremendous noise. Inc
Emperor had never heard anything so
awful, though he was used to shells at
E distance. You couldn't call it bang,
or a roar, or a smash; it was fearful,
tearing, SCATTERING, enormous pang-
smash roar Observation-Disclosures
sound like the end of the world. The
Emperor really believed for a whole min
ute that he had been blown inside out,
for shells do sometimes blow people in
side out when they don't actually hit
them. When he got up he did not know
whether he was standing on his head or
lis heels; indeed, he was not standing
on either, for he fell down again several
times, and when at last he managed to
keep on his feet by steadying himself
against something he found that the
something was tree that had been
quite long distance away from him
when the shell came, so he knew he had
been blown all that way by the explo-
sion. And the first thing he said to
himself was, "Where is the child?"
"Herew said voice in the tree over
his head. 1t was the little girls voice.
"Gott sci dank" said the Emperor,
which is the German for Thanks be to
Godw "Are you hurt, my child? l
thought you were blown to pieces"
81 am blown to pieces" said the little
girls voice. "Blown into just two
thousand and thirty-seven little, tiny,
weeny, deeshy pieces. The shell came
right into my lap. The biggest bit left
is my little toe; it's over there nearly
half mile off, and one of my thumb
nails is over there, half mile the other
way, and there are four eyelashes in the
crater where the four men have left
their bodies, one for each, and one of my
front teeth is sticking in the strap OF
your helmet. But don't wonder at that,
because it was coming loose. All the
rest of me is just burnt up and blown
into dust"
"Ich habe es NIGHT geaOollt," said the
Emperor. in a voice that would have
made anybody pity him. But the little
girl didn't pity him at all (; she only said:
ooh, who cares whether you did or not,
noaD? did laugh when l saw you flop
down on your face in your lovely uni
form. l laughed so much that l didn't
feel the shell, though it must have given
me such a dig. You look funny still,
holding on to that tree and swaying
about just like grandpapa when he was
drunk"
The Emperor heard her laughing; but
what surprised him very much was he
heard other people laughing, too, like
men with gruff voices.

Wilson Gains Twenty-Five
Votes in State of California
Friday.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 11-one
more precinct had boon reported by
$3.50 a. m. today. reducing the miss
Ing ones to thirty-fOur. The totals
with the new precinct stood: Hughes,
462.561: Wilson. 465.7l1. wilson's
plurality. $3.50.
This was an increase OF twenty
nine votes for Wilson over last
night. Seven precincts were lacking
from Humboldt county In the north
west corner Of the state. and seven
from Kern In the oil held. Hum
boldt went for Hughes and Kern for
Wilson. The others were scattered.
Election oflcinls here said II would
be impossible to check these missing
precincts against the vote OF previ-
Gus elections because Of lack OF
knowledge as to exnctly which pre-
cints IN each county were missing.
Efforts to clean up the state vote
were put forth by news associations
and by the organizations Of tSs two
big parties. Usual means Of eommu-
nIcation were supplemented by the
forest service telephones In the
Sierras and automobiles and horse
men were sent out on roads and
trails where there was no telephone
connection.

WILL WAIT FOR
OFFICIAL COUNT
Wilcox Says the Result De-
ponds on the Vote of the
Close States
STATES STILL IN DOUBT
Democratic National Head
quarters Take View That
Election is All Over.

NEW YORK. Nov. 10.-Republi-
can National Chairman william B.
Wilcox. following a conference Of the
campaign managers. today refused TO
cOncede tho election Of President VII
son.
In u formal statement he declared
the result still depends on the vote
OF close states and that the returns
from these were 80 far unofficial and
might be changed by the ohaciRl
count. Mr.. Wilcox stated. however.
that the national committee would
abide by the decision Of the omciai
count unless special circumstances
arose which made other action neees-
sary.
This was the important develop
ment In the presidential election sit
uation up to ! D. m. today. Returns
continued to hlter in from states
which had been close but they made
no change In the figures which gave
President Wilson 269 electoral votes
and Mr.. Hughes 243.
Minnesota, New Mexico and New
Hampshire remained in doubt. MIN
nesota's latest return showed Hughes
leading by 762, but the figures for
New Hampshlre put Wilson ahead by
239, with eleven precincts missing.
while he also led in New Mexico.
At Democratic national headQuar-
ters the view Is taken that the cleo

Split in CALIFORNIA; Electoral
Vote Might Result in the
Election of Hughes.
CONTESTS ARE VERY LIKELY
Failure to Comply with Federal
Statute and Use of Pastors
May Figure in Results.

NEW YORK, Nov. lO.-Woodrow
Wilson was elected president Of the
United States when California swung
definitely into the Democratic column
carly today.
The only states where the result re-
manned In question today were Mimi
esota. New Hampshire and New Mexico
with nineteen electoral votes. Unless
there is a decided overturn in the dis
tricts missing Wilson will carry New
Mexico. Hughes Is leading in Mimi
esotA. The result will not be known in
New Hampshire until the oficial count
Is completed. West Virginia. which
was classed as doubtful until late last
night. has gone definitely for Hughes.
Unless the vote of California Is d.
vided. which now seems a possibility,
Mr.. Wilson IS assured Of 269 votes in
the electoral college. three more thar
a majority, and Mr.. Hughes Of 24S. The
president could lose three votes from
California and still have enough &c
elect. This loss would be onset by
New Hampshire. which It seems Ger.
tain he has carried.
II Mr.. Hughes carried both Mime
sofa and New Hampshire. he would
have only 259, seven less than enough
to elect. Mr.. Wilson could lose New
Mexico and three votes from Califor-
mia and stu win.
The result In Minnesota may be de-
termined by the ballots Of the 2.13s
guardsmen now on the Mexican Dor.
der, which Will not be counted until
the state canvasslng board meets next
Tuesday. Returns received carly to-
day In the state gave Hughes lead Of
slightly over 700 votes.

vote for electors this year was made
for the group instead Of for individ-
