Never before in the history Of the
Democratic party Of this county has
the result OF state convention caused
a greater dissatisfaction in the ranks
than that Of Tuesday. Active poll
ticians from all parts Of Sussex were
here yesterday afternoon, the cause
for the gathering being the meeting
OF the county committee which as

"old sores" have been opened which
Will not be healed before election, and
the result Of the dissatisfaction will be

Friends Of Andrew j. Lynch and

that thoss two candidates were not
given a fair deal. and on all sides il can
be heard that they were robbed Of the
respective nominations by the padding
Of the ballot box.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES AT

now entirely on the defensive AZ Vor-
dun. The great battle begun 20l days
ago has now entered It's third and
final stage. The French are steadily
winning back their lost positions. The

extinct volcano.
II has now been learned definitely
that the Germans were forced 10 re-
move huge quantities OF artillery and
men from Nerdun to the Somme front
three weeks ago TO meet. the new
Anglo-French offensive. This had an
immediate effect upon the morale Of
the remaining men, In February they
had been told they were TO capture
Vordun. At the end of July they are
told II would be sufficient to simply
dominate the situation there. But
swhen they had been reduced in num-
bers TO merely defensive garrison,
after nearly seven months Of fight
ing. their morale was so shattered
that groups OF prisoners have been
surrendering. some OF them going

5y Ine lnlte0 ffesS.
BERLIN, Sept German and
Bulgarian troops have advanced more
than fifty miles beyond the Ruman-
ian frontier in their operations along
The Black Sea coast. German war
correspondents reported today.
The German Bulgarian advance,
which carried the Rumanian ports Of
Kavarna and Batrick (evidently
Balchik) explains why the Rumanians
after crossing the Transylvanian
passes now limit their operations to
explorations with small detachments,
the correspondents reported. The Ru-
manians seem irresolute, not know
ing what the future will bring.
The fact that the Bulgarians have
met and defeated the Russians in
Dobrudja destroys the Allied legend
that Bulgarians would not fight
against Russians. The Russian news
paper Dyen according to the semi
official news agency, is dissatisfied
with the Rumanian general staff,
which seems to pay no attention to
the Bulgarian frontiers.
