.TERM0NDE HAS ITS
CURIOUS PHASES Of
THE GREAT WARS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug 4.-"Ter
monde "a prosperous town of 10000
Inhabitants at the beginning of the
war;, but now scene of food riots
according to recent dispatches
spreads over both banks of the Den
der River and the right bank of the

letin of the National Geographic Soci-
ETY. on one of the cities of Belgium
which is feeling keenly the pinch OF
privation.
Situated only 16 miles east OF
Client, the great heart of Flemish his
tory, Termonde itself has a part OF
which it's citizens ay well feel proud
1t was here that Louis XIV suffered
an ignominious defeat at the very
beginning of his War of Revolution,
or Queens War, in which he set about
to upset political customs and substi-
tute civil usage in the matter of royal
inheritance. When his father-in-law
Philip " of Spain, died Louis laid
claim to Flanders in the name of his
wife, Maria Theresa, she who was a
mere figurehead at the French court
during the sway of the notorious
Mademoiselle de la Valliere and Nine.
De Montespan and in later years of
the devout Nine Maintenon. Louis
defeat at Termonde was due not to the
prowess of the city's garrison but to
the self-sacrifice of her people who
employed the irresistible waters of
the North Sea to fight their battle for
them, as has been the case so many
times in the history of the Low Coun-
tries. The dykes were cut and the in
vesting army of the Grand Monarqui
fed before the flood.
During the war of the Spanish
Succession Termonde bravely resisted
the great English general, harbour
ough, but after ten days of lombard
ment was forced to yield. This occur
red in the famous campaign of 1906
during which Marlborough achieved
his famous victory at Families, 50
miles to the southeast, where the
French under Marshal Villeroy lost
$4,000 men while the English and their
Dutch allies sustained a loss of less
than one-third that number.
ON any maps Termonde goes by its
Flemish name of Dendermonde. Al
the outbreak of the war it was one of
the five fortified towns of Belgium,
but its defenses were not of modern
design. The city is 25 miles by rail
southwest of Antwerp. it is nine miles
from Lokern and 10 miles from St.
Nicholas, two other towns of Belgium
where rioting occurred simultaneously
with the outbreaks at Termonde.
THE most interesting buildings ia
Termonde are the Hotel de Vile
formerly the Cloth Hall), a fourteenth
century structure, and the Gothic
church of Notre Dame which contains
two valuable pictures by Van Dyck.
"Termonde is only 20 feet above sea-
level, fact which accounts for the
ease with which the surrounding
country was flooded when besieged in
1857"

ELECTION RUMOR
BULLS STOCKS
Market and BettOrS Jump
at Story of Hughes
Gain in California

The watchful waiting OF Charles r..
Hughes and William r. Wilcox. Re
publican national chairman, was inter
ruptcd by furry Of excitement yes
terday afternoon, when q Wall Street
ticker carried an unconfirmed rumor OF
the day before that a clerical error IN
the California count gave the Repub-
lican candidate $500 more votes. The
few telephone wires still running into
Mr.. Willcox's Offices hummed with
anxious queries all day long. Even
George ". Perkins called up to know
whether he could believe the joyful
tidings.
The market responded willingly 70
the rumor. Prices stifened percept-
IDLY. As the Street got the report,
President Wilson mad neen credited
with 1000 votes in one county near San
Francisco instead of 700. That meant
n chance for Hughes, and there was a
consequent covering movement in the
last hour Of trading which carried
prices up from l to 5 points in the IN
dustrial list So wide was the rumor's
circulation that betting commissioners
on the curb reported several offers 10
bet on Wilson at TO l.
But the market and would-be bettors
as well as inquirers at national head
quarters met severe disappointment.
kilograms TO California failed to bring
back confirmation. Mr.. Wilcox dis
credited the report absolutely and
settled down again TO wait for the Of
fetal canvass. Mr.. Hughes spent
quiet day, walking in the morning,
chatting with Mr.. Wilcox, Mr.. Perkins
and Herbert Parsons and motoring IN
the afternoon.
The report from Washington that
Democrats in the Senate planned an in
vestigation Of campaign expenditures
and contributions merely amused Mr.
Wilcox.
"The Republican national Commit
tee" he said, will welcome the fullest
investigation of every penny spent by
il in this campaign"

Washington. Nov. l4.-President
Wilson will take the oath Of office
for his second term on Sunday, March

President and the beginning Of his
successor"
The department also holds that the
fact that President Wilson's term will

about the only question of interest 10

Count Is Conservative
His total for twenty counties showed
that the totals for the lowest Demo-
cratic elector in each county added
6.466 votes more than the totals for the
highest Republican elector in the same
counties. This coun. would show, when

its lowest ebb, MIR. Van Wyck said.
That is to say. if the lowest Demo

highest Republican totals a solid dele
cation in the Electoral College is AS
sured II the highest Republican totals
exceed the lowest Democratic totals this
will not necessarily indicate that any
Republican elector wins because the
