 Addition

Chicago, November 6.-Both repub- ican and democratic campaign man. agers claimed Illinois by 150,oO0 on the eve of the election tonight.

The woman's vote is an clement in the election which is puzzling the political managers Both the republican and democratic leaders claim majority of this vote. The silent vote also is worrying the party managers. In all the polls taken by party organizations at least 30 per cent of the voters declined to say how they intend to vote. Both sides clain, q majority of this silent vote

 The republican leaders claim Chi cago by 55,000 majority, while demo- cratic leaders predict to carry the city by 75.OOo.
 The normal republican plurality in the state is between 75.OOo and 150,o0o.

FIGHTING IN FRANCE

All along the battle line in France between the Somme and Ancre rivers the Germans are tenaciously disput- ing attempts by the British and French to gain further ground. Berlin says that in Sundays fighting over a front of 12 miles the French and Brit fsh suffered heavy casualties and won nothing except a local gain in the St. Pierre Vast wood. London admits that the British were compelled to give back to the Germans ground the British had previously won at the Butte De Warlencourt. In the St. Pierre Vaast wood, however, the French Monday made a further ad- vance in the northern part of the wood and captured additional prisoners. 600 of wlom were taken in the fighting of Sunday and Monday

RUSSIANS REpULsE ATTACKS

Petrograd. November 6.--(Via London.) German forces yesterday several times assumed the offensive on the Russian western front in the region east of the village of Lipitiza-Dolnaia and west of the village of Silaventin with the object of capturing the commanding heights occupied by the Russians. All the Ger man attacks, according to an official statement issued today by the Russian war department, were frustrated by a violent Russian artillery and rifle fire. The battle is still going on.

Captain Koenig's graphic story of
 his trip across the Atlantic in the
 submarine Deutschland. The fourth
 installment will appear in tomor-
 rows Age-Herald,
 The fair weather continues. The
 barometer is steady. The air dry and clear. Gradually we come to that de- gree where fair weather is usual at this time of the year. The heat from
 the sun is felt, and we begin to think
 about how to be refreshed. The idea of taking an ocean bath was happy thought The invention comes from our head machinist, Kiessling, who usually cares not for anything besides his motors. For them he has an un- surpassable care. How often has it happened on the high seas when all the matches were locked. that suddenly q man appeared in the coming tower hatch, and, with a great rush tries to squeeze by through the 'bathtub" without regards for the high navigat- ing. If the man on duty protested angrily on account of being disturbed.
 then, of course. it was our good fcl- low. Kiessling, who, in his anxiety for the motors, dressed in his oldest oil- cloth, was working his way over the fairly washed deck, to see if his gas yentilator was in good order. Every minute he was bound to see if the burning was as it should be, if the motor boating was right. and if the spark was regular. If there was any irregularity, he would not quit until he knew what it was.
 During one of these trips, not entire ly devoid of danger, over the slantinc, slippery siding, the idea occurred to him ocean bath. It was easily accomp lished. as all bright inventions are. LOCATION OF BATHS
 In order to understand the idea must know how the Deutschland's hull looks; it's peculiar shape. In the upper part of the hull the outer tanks, as we call them, are placed. It has immense holes and openings, and the sea washes through continuously. This does not interfere with the floating powers Of the ship. When one is standing on the so-called tank deck, the upper deck is about mans height above. In this place the sea runs through from all sides. when the ship is moving. It is. therefore, necessary to open only the ha tch and step down on the outer tank in order to get splendid ocean bath. But it has also its bad points. If one steps down on the outer tank just after the ship had been diving, one would get an oil bath instead of an ocean bath. The oil receivers are not always tight. especially after long. trying trip. In going up. therefore. an oily mass forms itself above the boa.

Discussing the recent voluminous re-
ports concerning the German Fokker ma
chimes, Mr.. Wardrop said:
I'VE have heard very much Of late
concerning the Fokker monoplane-the
machine that spirals to tremendous
altitude, then darts directly down upon
its opponent. the meantime shovering a
hail of deadly bullets upon its adversary.
Dispatches state that as many as thir-
teen British machines were wrecked as
the result Of a single days onslaught of
this latest German terror.
But we in this country are quietly
developing a monster machine that will
represent the conquest of even the latest
German achievement of man in aerial
transportation.
This aeroplane will be six times larger
than any yet tried. It can carry suffi-
cient ga asoline to give It cruising range
of seventy-five miles an hour. BY de-
cressing the load so as to increase the
fuel capacity this distance can be greatly
increased. The power plant consists of
seven motors-siX OF 100 horse power each,
and one Of ~ horse power. With about
eight passengers, this machine has q
further capacity for carrying 700 gallons
of gasoline. so gallons OF oil, and a use
full load Of 1900 pounds. By decreasing
the 5000 pounds cargo the mum Der Of pas
sengers can be approximately increased
to thirty.
This machine is built with three
planes, spreading 133 feet The length
is ss feet. the rudder area 81 square feet,
fixed tail area horizontal, E6 square
feet The weight of the hull and planes
is 5000 pounds and OF the motors 4.oct
pounds. With crew Of eight men weigh
ing 200 pounds. oil and gasoline weigh
ing 2.5o0 pounds and a bad, presumably
Of ammunition, Of 3clS pounds. there is
a total weight which can be carried
through the air of 1900 pounds, or over
ten tons.
This will be the type Of bombardins
aeroplanes that will be used on German
ports in the early spring. Hany of the
type are now under construction, and
their advent into the war zone is awaited
with tremendous interest.

Stimson Says Schools
Should Train Soldiers

New Rochelle, N. Y, Jan. 30.
Henry l.. Stimson, former Sec
retary of War, addressed the New
Rochelle Forum today on "The
imperative need of providing
some adequate scheme of national
defense for the United States
There are three things vitality
necessary" he declared.
"The first is an efficient, ever
ready. seagoing navy; second. an
adequate coast defense; and third,
a mobile army to be enlisted from
the manhood of the citizens, with
a regular force of about 100000
men as the brains and nucleus"
He declared it to be the duty
of every American citizen to be
trained to defend his country and
that this training should begin in
the public schools by teaching
the boys to shoot, as is done in
Switzerland.
