In France, in Galicia and in the
Dobrudia region of Rumania the arm
les of the central powers have success
fully taken the offensive against their
opponents, according to Berlin re-
ports They are also holding the en-
tente allies in check in northern
Macedonia and are continuing the
fighting on the Transylvania-Ruman
frontier.
Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavar-
ia, on the Somme front in France has,
according to the German war office,
recaptured from the British the great
er part of the positions won from
the Germans on Wednesday between
Eaucourt L'Abbaye and lie Barque,
between the Pozieres-Bapaume road
and Gueudecourt and toward Beau
| court The Germans also have sue
| cessfully withstood British attacks
near Courcelotte and lie Sars and on
the Pozieres-Bapaume road. Paris re-
ports only artillery activity on the
Somme front, but London chronicles
| the repulse with heavy casual
ties of German attack in the
| Thiepval region.
On the eastern front the Teu-
! tonic forces have stormed Russian
positions on the left banw of the Nara
| ypvka river southeast Of Lemberg and
| held the conquered ground against
| counter-attacks. Fourteen officers and
2050 men and II machine guns were
taken here by Prince Leopolds troops.
In Volhynia the fighting continues
with varying results, both the Aus
| tro-Germans and the Russians claim
| ing repulses of attacks on various
sectors. North OF Kiselin a stubborn
| battle is being waged, no decision
| having yet been reached.
| Field Marshal Won Mackensen has
again resumed his drive toward the
Constant Bucharest railroad in Do
brudja While Berlin reports the
| fighting there as 'livelier," Bucharest
admits that the Rumanian left wing
! along the Black sea coast has been
thrown back. Petrograd reports that
the Teutonic attacks were repelled
with heavy losses and that the battle
| continues.
| The Rumanian armies are fighting
hard to drive the troops of the cen
trail powers back through the frontier
passes into Pennsylvania Bucharest
reports the beginning of an offensive
| in the Oitus valley northeast of Kron-
stadt and the taking OF Mt Surul, east
of Rothenthurm pass, south Of Her
| mannstadt. Attacks in the Bran de-
file and the Trotus, Uzul and Alt val
leys were repulsed by the Rumanians.
While Paris says the Servians have
| captured the town of Velyeselo, north
of Brod in the region marked by the
bend in the Cernia river in southern
Seryia. Berlin declares the offensive
| there has come to halt before the
stand of the forces of the central pow
| ers.
| Violent fighting continues on Monte
| Pasubio, in the Trentino region, with
! Rome and Vienna both claiming slight
| successes.

With footing Of horns, ringing of
bells, wild shouts, and music from the
G. Nd. A. band, the pent-up enthusiasm
OF the citizens of the city found ex-
preston on Wednesday night when
the report was received that Wilson
had definitely been elected. It mat
tered little that this morning showed
the contests to be still in doubt, it
mattered little that the celebration
was premature, the crowd proceeded
to go wild without restraint
Information was received at nine
o'clock Wednesday night that Wilson
was sure of 260 votes in the electoral
college, and California still remained
in doubt. Shortly thereafter, informa-
don was obtained by prominent citi-
zens that Wilson had carried Califor-
mia, giving him a good majority, and
the certainly of election.
Immediately, the crowd went wild
and proceeded to stay wild. The C. M.
A. band was brought into the city, the
corps of cadets trudged in, people |
gathered from all parts of the city, |
and the celebration was in full blast. |
A parade of people, band, and automo-
biles, was formed, and march around |
the square made. Then, the crowd |
again gathered in front of the Hotel
Bethel, and yells and music filled the
air. Calls for the c. M. A. cannon
were made, but it could not be Sc
cured
Several near.speeches were made by
prominent business men. None of the
addresses actually occurred, but cries
we're frequently heard for one.

tits expected that at an early date the
county commissioners of election viii
soon order an election in the Third
district to fill the vacancy in the coun
ty court occasioned by the death OF
the late Justice of the Peace Samuel
D. Glenn. Under the law the election
cannot be ordered on less than a
months notice since the registration
books must be opened for three days
and closed not less than twenty days
before the election.
1t is probable that the election will
be ordered held during the present
year for the reason that voters can
use their poll tax receipts for 1915. If
held after the first day of January
poll tax receipts for 1916 would have
to be used, Very few taxes are paid
before February. and the most of
them in February, so that the election
could not be held until time time in
March if opportunity were offered vot.
ers to pay their poll taxes for the
previous year thirty days before the
day Of election.
Col, Jno. S. Brown, of Kedron, is
being urged by large number of the
voters Of that districts to become a
candidate. Much pressure is being
brought to bear upon Col. Brown to
permit the use of his name as a can
dldate He is one of the strongest
and most popular men of that section
and thoroughly public spirited. Those
who are urging his candidacy declare
mat he is peculiarly we'll fitted for |
service in the county court, always |
having taken an active and aggressive
interest in public affairs. Should he
become candidate his friends enter
tain not the slightest doubt of his
election They will urge that he owes
this service to the county and are
confident that upon the ground of
public duty they will be able to obtain
hlS consent to make the race.

NEW YORK, Nov. e.-AIter-
nateIy bringing hope and despair
to the headquarters of the two
political parties, the news from
Tuesdays election has been more
uncertain than any that ever fol-
lowed presidential contest since
the memorable race between
Blaine and Cleveland thirty-two
years ago. In fact this is the
first contest for president since
then in which the result was not
known nearly forty-eight hours
after the close of the polls.
That is the situation at this
time. indications are rather fav-
orabIe to the reelection of Wood
: row Wilson, but In order to be re-
elected the president must receive
the votes of either Minnesota or
California. To win Hughes must
get the votes of both those states.
That gives the advantage to VIII
son.
This morning Wilson has seemingly
PSI votes. Later returns from
lew Hampshire placed that state with
our votes in the Wilson column, Civ
,g the president assured 255 votes or
'ithin eleven Of the coveted goal.
Minnesota, with twelve votes, would
lake 267 or one more than sufficient.
aIifornia would bring the total to 26S
: two more than necessary. New
Iexico and North Dakota, with total
eight votes, might each fall into
e Wilson column, but unless the
'esident got either California or Min
,sota he would be three votes shy Of
e requisite number.
