ELLIS'S URTH TERM

Camden city and county have been car
ried by the Republicans In one Of the
heaviest votes polled in years.
The complete UNOFFICIAL returns, one pre-
cinct In Camden missing, give Hughes le.-
lS4 and President Wilson 1883 votes, or
plurality of 1905 votes. Hughes carried
Camden city by 2155 votes. which Is a keen
disappointment to the Republican leaders,
VINO had expected a majority of close to
1000. on the other hand. the President
carried Gloucester City by sS votes. while
In voorhees, township he bested Hughes by
3 votes and won in woodlynne by 2. The
Democrats are highly elated by the show
ing made.
In the gubernatorial tight Walter L. Edge
Republican, received 1884 and H. Otto
Wittpenn. Democrat, 11,24s. Edges plu-
rality is 1896.
Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, for United
states Senator, received the largest majority
of the national candidates, beating Senator
James E. MARITIME, Democrat, by 1882 votes.
Brownings majority over former Mayor
Millard f, Cattell of Woodbury., in the fight
for Congress, Is 1925.
Former Assemblyman John b. Kates is

The proposition 10 create a state hien-
way commission carrying an APPROPRIATION

ment Of the state roads has been over
whelmingly carried. The city OF Capoeh
rejected the proposition to divide the nre,
men into two platoons. one for day ana
one for night duty.
For the fourth time Mayor Charles IL

over Scull, Democrat City Treasurer frey
was reelected over Armstrong by fAoz
votes; while Sparks bested Kline tor Ne'

The enormousness OF the vote may be
realized from the fact that there are about
$4,000 registered voters In Camden County
more than $4,000 OF whom cast their bal,
lots this election. This excels the norma
by about fifteen per cent.
Probably the most striking feature OF th'
vote was the number OF voters who cas-
their ballots for the heads Of the ucke
only. Under the New Jersey law every
candidate Is voted for separately, but no
with respect TO the presidential electors
and box opposite the names OF the presi
Dental candidates is provided on the ballo
so that all of the electors of one party may
be voted for by one cross.

The arrest was made last night.
 Perella sent the letter on Sept. 25, directing MT. Montgomery to meet him on a certain downtown corner holding the money In his hand In white package" and warning him not to notify the police "or my men will blow up your house and whoever IS in it at the time." The letter was signed Paris Blackhand King"

 Perella in admitting his guilt, de- clared, the police say, that no one else was connected with him in the affair and that he conceived the idea because he was out of work here and without funds. The police say he has served time in reformatory in Penn SyIVania.

FRENCH DRIVE AT CHAULNES.
 GIVING GERMANS NO RESPITE
GERMAN RESISTANCE SOFTENING.
 BRITISH MILITARY MEN CLAIM

the British tried to take Thiepval and failed. On this height to the north the whole Angle-French movement pivots to the bank of the Somme. The British, in fierce little attacks now and then, have whittled and sapped their way toward that precious high ground, the capture of which extends the German front of defense and en- dangers other German positions. Hand to hand, bomb to bomb, with every trick of the modern trade of war, Germans and British have fought over these scanned slopes as if the war itself was to be decided here. To- night the whole defense and siege of which~> cost more thousands of lives than any in France, is in British pos session, following nearly three months of continuous fighting.
 Nineteen Villages Captured.
 Since the offensive began the Brit ish have taken nineteen villages and at some points their gains are now six miles in depth.
 Elation over today's and yesterdays s work is greatest at the casualty clear ing stations, where the red cost of victory is best measured. All sur geons report that the casualties have been surprisingly light. The weaken ing German resistance, which seems obvious to any spectators, is variously interpreted by the allied officers. Some believe that the Germans are merely making a rear guard defense of the lower ground while their main forces fall back to another prepared line of trenches stretching from Bapaume; others insist that the unceasing ham, mer blows of the British and French are resulting in a decided softening in the fighting power of their opponents The soldiers in the ranks do not seem to be bothered with such speculations. "Give us more weather like this and let us push on," is the prayer alike of the English Tommy and the French Poilu.
