Observe the rules of the game so

! Rule No. adopted by the State Dem
ocratic Executive committee at it's
meeting held in Macon on May 3 is so
plain and simple that even the Nc

ty in misconstruing it. The rule reads
as follows:
"The primary election shall be con

this state, and the customs of the party
insofar as those customs do not con
tlict with existing laws. All white
electors who are democrats and quail

candidates for all offices to me voted
on this year, are hereby declared quail
flied to vote in said primary, and the
act of voting in said primary shall
constitute the aforesaid pledge"

Japan during the war, but the wise and
courageous determination of the Ok
una ministry Japan had taken the side
OF the Entente Allies and by waging
war upon Germany had wrested Thing
tau from her grip and had helped to
crush German naval strength in the
South Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Viscount Kato concluded: IF Japan
geographically were situated near the
German domination she would have
been able to assist the Entente Allies
more effectively and to have FLASHED
with the German army and navy in the
European arena Of war

SEVERAL KILLED
IN ACCIDENT ON
NEW YORKSTREET.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-Two persons
wer killed and twelve others injured
this morning, when two automobile
busses collided with the first trolley
leaving the West Farms barn of the
, New York Railways Company in the
Borough of the Bronx. The street car
Jumped the track at a curve, precipitat-
ing the accident. Several of the injur-
e6 are in serious condition, and one
or two may die.
Police authorities who are guarding
the streets cars in operations here say
that strike breakers are operating all
subway and elevated trains and that
regular schedules are being maintain
ed on these lines, with no disturbances
reported. Traction officials corrobor-
ate this statement.
Strike leaders, in a statement given
out for publication this morning assert
that their organization has made in
roads in the ranks of motormen who
at first refused to respond to the
strike call, but no figures bearing up
on the alleged reflections are given.
Strike sympathizers and thugs at
5 o'clock this afternoon halted several
surface cars and attacked strike
breakers in charge. No cars of any de-
scription moved in Yankers, Mount
Vernon and Rochelle after the begin
ming of these attacks The situation
late today is assuming serious aspects.
Investigation late this afternoon re-
vealed that thirteen persons were in
jured in the collision, four of whom
probably will die. The car, which was
being operated by a strike-breaker,
became unmanageable on grade, and
this caused the accident. The crew
of the car were arrested and are now
in Jail.
Non-union motormen on two elevat-
ed lines in the Bronx reported being
fired Hpon today, and one woman was
seriously wounded by bricks thrown
into passing car by strike sympa-
thizers or thugs.
Central labor officials declared this
afternoon that a general strike of all
unions in Greater New York is not be-
ing considered at this time, but adj
mitted that they are contemplating
calling out all workmen closely allied
with the striking carmen

SAVED SEVEN SOLDIERS
BY LYING ON A BOMB

LONDON, Sept. 12.-Hastily lying
on bomb in an attempt to smother
it and save seven sleeping soldiers in
French trenches, Captain H. C. Kinred
was blown at an angle of 80 degrees
to the top and out of the trench, but
escaped with his life owing to a steel
waistcoat The story of his escape is
one of the most remarkable that has
come from the trenches. Photographs
of the remainder of his tunic shown
here reveal but tatters. Luckily the
seven men escaped with minor iniur-

CAAADA'S SOLDIERS
RECORD CHOICES IN
COUNTRIES At WAR

LONDON, Sept 12.-Soldiers from
British Columbia now training or re.
covering from their wounds in the
British Isles were invited this month
to record their votes for the candidates
seeking the suffrages of the electorate
of British Columbia at the general
election. 1t is said there are about
10000 soldier-electors from the Far
Western Canadian province now in
Europe serving the Empire and many
o. these are in London or its immed-
late vicinity. The results were tele-
graphed to the authorities in British
Columbia.
The recording of these soldiers
votes while they are away from home
has aroused much interest in political
circles in the British Isles, where there
has been much discussion as to how
the electors for the Imperial Parlia-
ment now serving in the army would
be affected in the event of a general
election.
Lord Salisbury has introduced a
bill to provide for such an emergency.
Its clauses provide that every sailor
and osldier registered as an elector
should receive copy of the candidates
election addresses. The commanding
officer of the fighting unit would be re-
CURED to appoint day for the deliv-
cry of the market ballot papers in the
sealed envelopes supplied to the men
and these would be forwarded to the
SlSCloldl OIIlCldlS.
An officer now in the trenches, who,
in normal times, is an ardent polite
ian, writes to the newspapers to point
out that soldiers have other things to
worry about instead of party politics.
He says: ''If people at home really
think that our men are worrying about
being temporarily disfranchised they
have got the whole show in the wrong
perspective. My men are worrying
about rats and mosquitoes and pig
squeaks and woody bears andthings
like that and if you took referendum
out here you would get about two
replies out of hundred-and they
probably would be split votes because
the lads express themselves crudely at
times. The things they want are home
and wives and children and sweet
hearts and clean clothes and a bath
and some English beer-Quite sim
RE things like that. Not votes at all.
They are quite content to elave all that
TO the people who are carrying on at
Tome. When you are serving a gun
Gay and night in a place like this it
seems ridiculous to think of a Tommy
worrying himself avout voting. He's
too busy sending-and lodging
earth"
The politicians, however, appear to
think otherwise and continue working
np their agitation for the political
privileges of the soldier in the trench
es.
