THOUSANDS CAST
BALLOTS, THOUGH
FAR FROM HOME
British Columbia Soldiers Vote
in England and Result is
CabIed Home

LONDON, Eng. Soldiers from Bri.
fish Columbia now training or re-
covering from their wounds in the
British Isles were invited this month
TO record their votes for the candi-
dates seeking the suffrages of tho
electorate OF British Columbia at the
general election. IL is said there are
about 10000 soldier-electors from the
far western Canadian province now
in Europe serving the empire and
many OF these are in London or its
Immediate vicinity. The results were
telegraphed to the authorities in Bri-
tish Columbia.
The recording Of these soldiers
votes while they are away from home
has aroused much interest in political
circles in the British Isles, where
there has been much discussion as to
how the electors for the Imperial Par
lament now serving in the army
would be affected in the event OF the
general election.
Lord Salisbury has introduced a bill
TO provide for such an emergency. Its
clauses provide that every sailor and
soldier registered as an elector should
receive a copy of the candidates cleo
ton address. The commanding officer
of the fighting unit would be repuir-
ed to appoint day for the delivery.
of the marked ballot papers in the
sealed envelopes supplied to his men
and these would be forwarded to the
electoral officials.
An officer now in the trenches,
who. In normal times, is an ardent
politician, writes to the newspapers
TO point out that soldiers have other
things to worry about instead of party
politics. He says: IF people at home
really think that our men are vorring
about being temporarily DISTINGUISHED
they have got the whole show in the
wrong perspective. My men are
worrying about rats and mosquitoes
and pigssqueaks and woody bears and
things ike that and If you took re-
ferendum out here you would get
about two replies out Of hundred
and they probably would be spoilt
votes because the lads express them
selves crudely at times. The things
they want are home and wives and
children and sweethearts and clean
clothes and a hath and some English
beer-quite simple things like that
Not votes at all They are quite con-
tent to leave all that TO the people |
who are carrying on at home. When
you are serving gun day and night
in place like this it seems ridiculous |
to think OF Tommy worrying himself |
about voting. He's to busy sending
and lodging death. "
The politicians. however, appear to
think otherwise and continue working |
up their agitation for the political |

RUSSIA SHOWS
CLEnENCY TO
MANY OFFENDERS

LONDON. Eag.-It is reported in
Petrograc adyicss that weliconsider-
ed scheme OF amnesty to political
offenders, at the present under SEN
tence of exile TO Northern and .Asiatic
Russia. will be shortly promulgated
under the orders of Emperor Nicholas.
Acting under the extensive powers
granted to Minister OF the Interior,
that official, as indicated in the follow
ing letter, has already seen his way
to libarate 100 political exiles sent
since 1905 by Administrative Order
to distant parts of the empire. As
distinction from these by the courts:
such can be liberated only by the ex-
press 0rder-of the sovereign. But it
is said that the Minister of Justice
under whose jurisdiction these cases
come, is with genuine sympathy pre-
pairing a scheme of pardon, as large
and free as reasonable bounds allow,
for the consideration of His Majesty.
The following letter by Mr.. Khvos-
toff, the Minister of Interior has been
received during her recent visit to
Petrograd by Mrs. Sonia +. Howe, of
st. Luke's Vicarge, Finchley, the orig
inator and honorary secretary of the
Committee for Relief of Administra-
tive Exiles in Northern Russia and
Siberia. =
Dear Madam: Following On our
persons discussed | have the honor
TO inform you tllat to alleviate the fate

VIENNA, Austria-Emperor Fran
els Joseph spent his third war
birthday"-August 1S-in absolute re-
tirement in his palace at Sehoen-
brunn, just outside Vienna. Only a
special mass in the castle chapel, and
a family dinner-party distinguished
the day from any other in the mon
arch's ordinary life. For the rest it
was spent as usual, in work from
dawn until evening.
His eighty-sixth birthday found the
emperor in fairly good health, despite
all rumors to the contrary. States

bodily yigor, but allowing for soma

all the worries and burdens resulting
from the war.
Rising at four the emperor takes
very light breakfast of tea or choco-
late and bread and butter and Is at
his desk by five. His barber comes
three times a week though now he is
enrolled in the Landstrum. 1t hap
pens frequently that he cannot come
at the proper. time, having guard
duty, but the emperor has ordered
that nothing is to interfere with his
military duties. He arrives at the
castle in uniform but puts on dress
coat before going to the emperor.
At Z o'clock the first adjntant in
waiting appears with reports and
state papers, and any day after that
hour audiences are granted to minis
ters and high military personages.
Wor kgoes on steadily all the day in

for meals.
Naturally the customary reioicings
on the occasion of the emperor's
birthday throughout the country have
been greatly curtailed by the war.
In Vienna high mass at the cathed-
raj, attended by all the prominent
state and municipal personages, fol-
lowed by state dinner at the Cardin-
al Archbishops and the firing of
salute at the arsenal are the chief
items on the program. Usually great
crowds flocked to the prater which
was illuminated in the evening, but
this year the population was in little
mood for such festivities, and the
crowds were far smaller than in other
years.

ZURICH, March "A Swiss editor
who has been called to the colors and
is attached to one of the regiments
guarding the Austrian and Italian
frontiers writes:
From our lofty positions in the
neighborhood of the Stelvio Pass we
daily can watch the bloody battles of
the Austro- Hungarian and Italian
troops. The Italian artillery does ad-
mirable work, but its shells often fly
across the border and explode danger
ously close to our observation points.
The combats between the Italians
and Austrians are terrible. Recently
the Italian gunners succeeded in
throwing four shells of large calibre
into the position of an Austrian bat
terry. which was literally blown to
pieces so that hardly a man escaped
alive. Two days later the Austrian
took their revenge. They brought up
thirty large guns and began a terrific
bombardment. After two hours there
WAS nothing left Of the Italian bat.

CHEMICAL ENGINE
MATTERS STRENGTHENED

The county commissioners were in
session yesterday and last evening
with Engineer Rowley of the Board of
Underwriters of San Francisco, dis
cussing the various phases of Elko's
fire protection, and the proposed
plans of installing new chemical
fire engine and pump, an adequate
alarm system, ETC., and the water
supply. The Board received much
valuable information, and as it will
De governed by the same in its action,
there is no danger of any serious mis-
takes in the selection of apparatus.
The Board feels amply repaid for wait
ing for Mr.. Rowley's arrival.
In conversation with the Independ-
ent Mr.. Rowley said that merely pur-
chasing an engine would result in no
great decrease in insurance rates. To
get full benefit an adequate alarm
system must be installed, and water
plugs, water supply, etc., must meet
with certain requirements of the
Board of Underwriters. The chemical
tank should be of at least $50 gallons
capacity, and the pump, engine and
all must be tested and passed by the
Board.
When the requirements of the
Board are met, reduction of about
twelve percent In insurance rates will
be granted. This in a few years will
cover the cost of installing the entire
system, and will add greatly to the
security Of property.
The selection of the proper equip
ment is now made easy for the Board
of Commissioners. All that Is now
necessary Is to provide that it shall
pass requirements and inspection OF
the underwriters. Anything thai
passes them may be absolutely relied
upon.
