Special Correspondence Of The Star.
LEONARDTOWN. Md. November T.
Republican campaign managers are
elated over the prospects of a heavy
vote for both Charles F.. Hughes and
Sydney Mudd. Early this afternoon. 1t
was stated that the early morning vote
was not heavy. but that great majority
OF the votes cast were for the republi-
can candidates.
Not only is the claim being made that
the republicans and independents are
voting the republican ticket, but also
that many democrats are casting their
ballots for the republican candidates
Some of the more saneuine managers
are claiming that the county will give
Mudd from 700 to 500 majority. probably
a greater majority than that for Hughes
They predict. however. that Hughes will
have more than a substantial ma jority.

BOYS IN THE WAR ZONE
WRITE TO FRIENDS HERE
Several Westinghouse. Not Fight
ing, But Aiding U. S. to Main
tain Neutrality.

Washington boys who are in the war
zone. not doing actual fighting. but
helping the United States to maintain
its neutrality. are giving q great deal
Of pleasure and information to former
schoolmates and friends by writing
them of conditions in the war-stricken
countries. In the past few weeks sew
eral letters have been received by Hugh
J. Fegan, secretary of the Georgetown
University Law School. from former
students who are now in Europe
serving as secretaries of the embassies.
The letters. coming into the United
States through the diplomatic mail
channels. have not been deleted by the
ruthless censor, and as result many
interesting stories have been told
which otherwise would not have been.
The receipt of the letters has prompted
the class in international law at the
school to compile list Of former
students who are now serving in the
diplomatic corps with a view to writ
ing to them and asking that they write
letter to the class at least once a
month thereby giving the students in
formation of conditions In Europe that
they could not otherwise obtain. and
also make them feel that the school Is
still interested in them, although they
are not in Washington.
Athletes in the List
In the list of former students in the
corps are several well
known athletes of the hilltop univer-
sity. among them being Benjamin F.

ID UssIAN VICTORY
N IS FAR-REACHING

PARIS, June 20--The military ex-
perts here regard the diplomatic results
of the Russian victory at Czernowitz
as more important than the military
or strategic. With Czernowitz, capital
Of the Bukowina, in Russian hands, 1t
is assumed that the Russian armies will
soon have, if they have not already,
essential control Of that province.
Would Dominate Rumania
This, if it is followed by the success
es which seem to be forecasted in an
invasion Of Austria win place the Rus
slams in position TO dominate Ruma-
MIA at many points. In the comments
upon the result Of the Russian control
of the Bukowina, much more attention
is given to the possible diplomatic re.
suits in the Balkans than to the i'm
mediate military success.
Has New Gard TO Play
The Bukowina was part Of Ruma-
MIA twice in history, and the peoples of
the two countries are much affiliated.
If Russia has now wrested the Buko-
wilma from Austria Hungary, 1t is argu-
ed, she has a new card to play in the
complicated Balkan diplomatic game.

-
Text of Obnoxious Note Is INSULTING

The Carranza note referred To- in
the foregoing dispatches from Wash
ington, as one which has met with q
"stern refusal", upon Carranza re-
ception of which refusal depends the
issue of war or peace, was delivered
in Washington on. June l. 1t has, been
commented on as sarcastic, offensive
and even insulting in tone. It was a
note of 10000 words, demanding i'm.
mediate withdrawal of Anierican
troops from Mexico, and charging In
no indirect terms that the American
government professions of no infant
really to invade Mexico were not made
in good faith. The concluding words,
reading like an ultimatum, are:
'The Mexican government therefore
invites the United States to bring to
an end this unsupportable situation
and to support its protestations of and
declarations Of friendship by an imme.
diate withdrawal of American troops. -
"The American government, says
the note" has admitted that the work
of the expedition which entered Mex
leo after the Columbus raid, now Is
over. But, In spite of this fact, Amer.
lean troops still remain on Mexican
soil. To contend that political dis
order in this country justifes. this act
of the American military forces is in
conflict with the repeated professio ons
Of the Washington government rela.
tive to non.interference." "
America Il Blamed
The note points out that much of
the trouble in Mexico is due "to the
attitude Of the United States in not
Furnishing conspirators in the United
States who have plotted the downfall
of the present Constitutionalist gov,
ernment and to the acts of Washing
ton in refusing to permit the ship
ment of arms and ammunition to en-
ter Mexico"
