Dramatic Change Of Front.

DFamdtiC Sndn9c OF rToHt.
The sudden switch of New Hamp-
shire from a small Hughes plurality
to 1T votes for President Wilson was
the dramatic change in the situation.
II came In an announcement from
the secretary of state that a partial
Official count of all the districts dis
closed errors in tabulation by town
and ward clerks to that extent The
official count still is progressing.
In Minnesota and New Mexico the
incomplete returns show Mr.. Hughes
to have the lead, while in California
and North Dakota Mr.. Wilson is ahead.
With two precincts missing the
count in New Hampshire gave Wilson
q lead OF 121. This was based on GER
tilted returns to the secretary Of
state from 23s precincts and press
returns from fiftyfou The vote was:
Wilson, 1882; Hughes, 1921.
Secretary of State Bean corrected
Ais earlier statement in which he said
the state was complete. The two
towns unreported cast a very small
vote.
Delay in the Mountains.
Belated returns from isolated north
ern mountain counties kept California
in the uncertain list.
None OF Sierra county's sixteen pre-
cincts had been heard from early, and
twenty-six Of another mountain dis
trict, Tuolumne county, likewise were
missing. Lack of telephone communi'
cation was largely responsible for the
delay.

LINCOLN'S
"ASSASSINS".

A press dispatch from New York
tells of the death there of Gen. Henry
Lawrence Burnett, one of the prose
cutors of Lincoln's "assassins.".
AS suggested by the Norfolk Ledg-
er-Dispatch, it is about as well au-
thenticated as anything human can be
that, there was only one Lincoln ass
ASSN, John Wilkes Booth. The pub
lie mind Of the North was much in
famed at the time and there was gem
eral belief that Lincoln's death was
the result of some great conspiracy.
AS matter Of fact, the whole thing
originated in the crazed brain of
Booth, and there is every reason to
believe that those he made use Of in
attaining his murGerous end had no
idea what he was going to do.
As result of the public excitement
there is no doubt that persons who
were not 10 blame, received the most
terrible punishment for the crime, the
sole author Of which had been slot
to death while resisting capture.
Half a century has elapsed since
this unfortunate chapter was placed
in American history. All in any
way connected with that grim tribu-
nal have passed away. 1t is better
to follow the old rule, "Say nothing
but good Of the dead Those re,
sponsible for the death of people
later shown to be innocent have long
since appeared before a tribunal upon
the decision of which there is 10 APP
peal.

POSITION OF THE
UNITED STATES.

As had been anticipated, there was
q significant interchange Of views
in the Senate yesterday on the posi-
ton Of tho United Safes during The
present war in Europe, and especially
regarding the liability Of the bclll-
gercnt nations to this country whcn
Americans lose their lives or suffer
loss Of property by the sinking of
passenger steamers belonging to na-
tions at war with each other. Il
was openly asserted that citizens Of
the United States assumed individual
risks when they embarked on ships
liable to be destroyed by submarines.
One speaker referred to the fact thai
Americans who took passage on the
Inflated LuSitania we're aware Of thc
fact that she was loaded with mIii-
tions. Another alleged that the u.
S. Consul who took passage on the
steamer Persia. recently sunk Ill the
Mediterranean, was warned by an
American official to take 4 steamer
of the Dutch lire and avoid dangers
at present incident TO British ships.
He ignored tLs warning and it Is
believed he was ameag those WHO
were drowned.
Another speaker vas indignant
with Americans WIG persisted IN pat,
tonizing ships CT the allies at hi:
time. when those Of other l!nss ceult
\ be used, thereby jeopardinE th@ peace

as it should be the duty Of all AM
erican citizens to do nothing which
is calculated to embroil our country
in trouble with other nations. The
fact, however, that passenger steam
ers are sunk without warning, regard
less of the nationality of the voy-
ayers, is a matter which naturally
causes exaspiration among neutral ma
tons when non-combattants are
drowned. When the Persia was tor
pedoed passengers were at lunch in
the dining saloon. Most of them
were drowned like rats in trap.

RUSSIA AND SERBIA
COMING BACK

While the fate of Czernowitz is ob-
scured in conflicting reports it appears
evident that the Russian dominate
the Bukowina Capital. Dispatches
from Petrograd state that the Aus
TRANS have evacuated the town under
pressure from the Russians holding
the heights above it, while from Aus
trian sources information has been
received that the Austrian troops
have been withdrawn from . portion
of the city.
Czernowitz lies in a deep valley.
The town itself is not of great stra-
tegical value, except for its railroads.
It's fall is likely to have greater poll
teal than military significance, as an
outstanding success by the Russians
at this time would be likely to have
far-reaching effect on Roumania.
