spIittlnu ElectoraI Notes.

From The Kansas City Star
 The splitting of an electoral vote has happened frequently in close states in recent years. The names of the presidential and vice presi- dential candidates do not appear on the ballots in most states. Instead are printed the names of the Re- publican and Democratic electors. Occasionally some elector is ex- tremely popular or especially ob- noxious. Then a few men may go out of their way to vote for him even if he isn't on their party ticket, or to scratch his name. Sometimes men vote only for one elector in states where the Australian ballot system is used, believing that there by they are voting the whole ticket, when on this particular ballot it is necessary to put the cross at the head of the ticket. in order to vote a straight ticket. Tn such eases on- iy one elector gets the vote and so he may run ahead of the rest and be elected elee ted, while wihsiillee the the others gre de feated. It is understood that in Maryland in 1908, several hundred citizens voted for the first two elec- tors, believing that they were vot- ing for president and vice president. So these electors got several hun- dred votes more than the other six with the result that the state diyid- ed it's electoral vote, giving six to Bryan and two to Taft. Marylanr divided it's vote in 1904. Kentucky and California in 1896 and half a dozen states in 1902 California di- vided it vote in 1912.

Military Critic of Overseas News Agency Declares General Battle Has Been Split Into Iso-
 lated Attacks.

Berlin, Nov 2O.-By wireless to Sayyille.-The military critic of the Overseas Agency writes:
 The great thrust on the Somme has come to complete standstill. Last week the general battle was split into isolated attacks. The small local successes of the enemy could not be developed and for the most part were nullifled by counter attacks. The fact that for several weeks the same villages have been mentioned again and again in the official German reports and those of the entente is the best proof that the general battle on the Somme has come to a standstill and that the British, as we'll as the French, are limited to improving their positions
 "Altho the British won small local successes near Grand Court. and the Germans were again driven from Serre, the coveted heights of Serre remained in German hands after a desperate battle.
 Three fresh army corps were brought up by the British for the great attack of November i3-i4, ob- jective of which was not merely Beaumont Hamel and Beaucourt but Bapaume, as is proved by orders that were found.
 After the failure of the mas: thrusts isolated attacks were con- tinued by the British all thru the week.
 Says German Line Firm.
 These were without success and on Saturday the British again made a general attack on both sides of the Anere. This new attempt tc break thru our line was complete failure. On the i2 kiIometer front the enemy was repulsed almost ev- erywhere and his insignificant de- fense in some places required the heayiest sacrifice. Local success al the bend of the Ancre was paid foI by the British i'll losses elsewhere or the front. The Butte de WarleT court, a hill which bars the road tc Bapaume, which was captured by the British on November IA at the expense of enormous sacrifices, was recaptured by the Germans on the sixteenth. A surprise attack was made by the Germans without ar- tillery preparation and the opposing troops fled Only two non-com- missioned officers and F men could be captured. The prisoners bore nc arms. They were Australians, who must be weary of war, and they de- elared that all the Australian troops on the Comme front were kept up only by the hope of speedy relief.
 Isolated attacks by the French were equally unsuccessful. Near St. Pierre Vaast wood, a French att tack broke down with heavy losses, 'p7uEgS sGfn atl1If 9uossaJd Jeou puH

the boat was gone. She wondered If
she could make the land. She did not
| really care, her life was too sad. She
was beginning to droop and fail when
Royce appeared at her side and set
her hands on his strong shoulders. She
liked him better than she thought she
did. He swan magnif1cently. He saved
her and she was glad to be saved.
| When at last she staggered ashore
| and her father embraced her, wet as
| she was, she looked about for Mulry.
He was gone. The lfe-saver had re-
vived him and he had tottered away.
Gloria did not know whom he was
visiting. He was not in the hotel reg
listers. She did not know that he had
gone to his friends cottage, slammed
his clothes in his trunk and suitcase,
and returned North.
One of the picturesque features of
Palm Beach life is the presence now
and then of Seminole Indians, who
come up from the everglades to sell
baskets and other samples of their
craft, rattlesnake skins, and trinkets
of various sorts. Among those who
stood offering bargains of the sort were
the young chief who wanted to marry
Gloria and the old squaw whose horse
Gloria had tried to steal. They recog-
nized her when they saw her wander
ing slowly along looking for Mulry.
Gloria paused and stared at them.
She did not recognize them at first and
stopped to price a souvenir of her cap
tivity. But she noted the wild glare
in the eye of the romantic peddler and
suddenly remembered her swarthy
sutton of five years ago. Her old fear
came back to her for the moment. She
started to escape. The chief clutched
her hand and compelled her to pause.
She was hardly treasured by his soft
words
Don't be 'fraid Nice sQuaw, nice
squaw."
She could think of nothing to say.
He did the talking.
"Many years since squaw run off.
You got husband yet?"
Gloria shook her head and sighed. |
The chief sighed, too-with relief. He
spoke grandiosely. "All right You
marry me now?"
Gloria WAS almost as much embar-
raised by this second proposal in the
Poinciana gardens as she had been by
the first in the everglades. She could
not imagine what to say. The chief

crowded closer to her. Suddenly his
face hardened as he looked past her.
He clenched his fists and reached for
knife. Gloria followed his eyes and
saw Doctor Royce in the distance. She
wondered why the chief should hate
him. The chief explained with dog
Snarl.
"That man nearly kill me once. He
take you from me-"
Gloria pointed to Royce questioning
ly. The chief nodded. Gloria protested
She would not permit the glory of her
rescue to be taken from her dead love.
mo, no; it wasn't that man. 1t was
this one" she cried, and caught from
her gown a little portrait of Freneau
in locket.
The chief clutched it and looked
hard. The chiefs lip curled with scorn
He aughed-almost.
Him? Humph! Him white liver
Him run! That man there hand me
big wallop. Ugh !"
Gloria was indignant. The chief de-
