GUARDS LOSE VOTES
States Failed to Provide Laws Grant
ing the Permission.

Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. TN the mill
itary camps stretched along the Mex
lean border thousands of national
guardsmen today are casting their
ballots for president, while other thou
sands are losing their suffrage because
their states failed to pass law COW
ering this contingency.
In this district 10000 guardsmen
from Pennsylvania, South Carolina
and Massachusetts, lined up before the
tents before their commanding officers
to vote. Special commissioners from
the home states delegated by state
governor are in charge of the election
Early this afternoon the polls will
close and the count wired to the re-
spective state capitals. Guardsmen
from Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Geor-
gia North Carolina and New Mexico
in this district lose their votes because
they are doing duty on the border.
Votes Reach Home by Election Day
More than 10000 New York mill
tiamen are voting today. The result
of their vote won't be known for sew
eraI days. If the election in New York
state should be SO close as to make
their votes decisive, the empire state
is going to suffer more suspense than
any other section of the country
unless New York's vote is needed also
to determine the national results.
Minnesota got her 1000 soldier
votes home last week: Colorado 900
and Wisconsin $500 and North and
South Dakota 1000 or so each.

FIGHT THERE, TOO
Europe Engaging in Active
Killing Today.
Allied Armies Develop Strong
Offensive.

London, Nov. 7.-Continued activ-
ity on practically all fronts, with Sc
we're fighting at some points, has
marked the past twenty-four hours.
At all but one or two points the en-
tente allied armies developed strong
offensives with what appears to have
been gratifying success in some in
stances.
Since the partially successful Ger
man counter attacks which for a time
checked French and British storming
lines that had swept into German
trenches along the Somme, there has
been no claim from Berlin to refute
London and Paris war office state
ments that the terrain captured has
been consolidated.
Altho infantry operations on the
west front died down late yesterday,
there was heavy artillerying, the Eng
llsh night report mentioning specially
heavy Smelling of the British front
The Germans appear to have con-
sohdated their regained ground in the
region of Butte de Warlencourt. where
counter attacks drove the British from
hard won trenches.

during the night continued combing
out the Germans who were not ex-
PEELED or captured during the first

the rest of the pictures come up to
part one. Novelty patrons will have a
spicy hors d'oeuvre for the rest of
the entertainment feast Nelusco and
Hurley following the picture with
some sleight-of- hand, should have a
better place on the bill. The Kuehns,
billed descriptively as Dainty Differ

they would eliminate the yodeling,
which, however. seems to pull the gal
lery applause. The unusual male $50
prano" voice is novel. The couple in
the fourth act rang a new variation on
the conventional musical act, playing
their selections, for the most part, in
darkness to the accompaniment of
twinkling electrical effects. Buch and
Shapiro put on a slapstick Hebrew act
which is a laugh from the start He
brew acts on the average vaudeville
circuit are as plentiful as nuggets in
the Klondyke and they rarely vary
All credit to Shapiro for slipping over

a laugh that has never been heard on
land or sea and does a comedy aero

Orpheum Review.
Mary Pickford returns to Topeka.
She has her own company and has set
out to do ambitious things in the
screen drama. The hoydenish, I'M
tamed-child- of -nature-Mary of 'sTess
of the Storm Country" and the early
pictures is no more. She has forsaken
childish ways and so easy enticements
and is breaking into real drama.
In Less Than the Dust" Mary does
an effective bit of characterization.
Occasionally the part of Rahda, the
Indian slips a little awry, and the win
some American Mary appears, but the
Characterization is generally consistent
and she achieves real pathos at the
close.
The picture is admirably staged and
directed Seemingly no expense has
been saved in staging a lavish Indian
spectacle and the photography of the
mutiny in the night is remarkable. The
part of the picture staged in England
gives equal evidence of good direction.
in the selection of the English char
acters David Powell is well chosen
as an opposite of Mary. He not only
is good looking, but appears English
and Furthermore does a little anthem

He is a nice old man and / would never

She Got the Money.
What about the charge made by
your daughter that you have obtained
thirty-one dollars from him ?" was
asked.
and when the proper time comes I'll
pay it, My daughter had nothing to
do with it 1 don't even understand
how she knew of it, 1t was purely a
business proposition l have been ex-

surprised if it is at the postoffice now.
While 1 was waiting for it l borrowed
from Mr.. Hester. 1t is shame to
keep him in Jail"
Gladys Warner, the daughter. told
county officers her mother used her to
hold up" an old gentleman in Penn
sylvania and obtained 5000 from him.
That will be explained when the
proper time comes" said the mother.
II was protecting the girl and punish
ing a vile specimen of manhood and
the girl doesn't understand it. There
was nothing of blackmail in it"
When asked to be more explicit in
her charge against Fred Pasho Mrs
Warner lost her temper.
AZ have been fighting to keep my
daughter away from Fred Pasho ever
since 1 learned of her infatuation for
him" she said. He is middle-aged
man and has been married. 1 didn't
want him running around with the girl.
He has tried in all manner of ways to
get with her and 1 have refused lime
after time to allow her to go to picture
shows with him.
Crazy About Him.
''She is perfectly crazy about him
and no child is going to become crazy
over a man of his age unless there is
a mighty good reason. Last Saturday
night 1 told her to quit at the German
hotel where he boards and she told
me if she couldn't work there she
wouldn't work at all. 1 wanted her to
go to work in a cigar factory"
1t is said that it was Pasho who re-
ported conditions to Miss Kate King
and who was responsible for the de-
tention of the girl until she told her
story.
All of Mrs Warmers story had to
do with the story the girl had told.
Then it was pointed out to her that
the warrant upon which she was ar
rested merely charged her with un-
lawfully living with Andrew Speel
st never have lived with that man."
she said "He came here with me and
our intention has been to be married,
but I have not lived with him. Be-
cause he is a foreigner people may
look down upon him and me, but that
is because they do not know him.
Mrs. Warner was born and reared

Kiene learned at Holton that she has
two brothers living at Soldier One of
them met her at Holton and took her
10-year-old son home with him.

church holds diners and pays 15$ for

money which was begard from pour
workingmen and women the same

against me.
