NO RUSH TO VOTE
Little Excitement Marks EIee-
ton Day in PetrOgrad.
Estimate Only Half or Third of
EIigibles Cast Ballot.

London, Nov. 2s.-Little excitement
has attended the elections to the con-
stituent assembly now being held in
Petrograd. says the Petrograd cor
respondent of the Daily Mail IN aus
patch dated Tuesday. He thinks that
less than so per cent of those entitled
to vote cast their ballots, but that per-
haps another 10 per cent would vote
before the polls closed Tuesday after
noon. News from the army fronts, the
correspondent says, is contradictory,
but apparently the vast mass of SOL
diers support the Lenine government.
Ensign Krylenko, the commissioner
for war, has gone to Pskoff, where he
has dismissed General Tcheremissoff
and given his command to a commits
sioner for the northern front.
Chaos Is Spreading.
General chaos, he added, is spread
ing steadily, and the extremists un-
doubtedly are gaining ground among
the soldiers and masses on account of
legal exemption.
On its part the local board is TO do
everything possible to acquaint regis
trants with their order of liability. 1t
is necessary absolutely that each reg
istrant shall know his order number.
The board is to mail registrants notices
of its actions concerning them and of

EXPERTS TESTIFY
Try To Prove Mrs. De SaulIes
Not Responsible for Staying.
To Ask AIienists Hypothetical
Question of 10000 Words.

Mineola. Nov. 2S.-Alienists, X-ray
specialists and other members of the
medical profession, who will testify
concerning the defense's claim that
Mrs. Blanca De SauIIes was suffering
a lapse of responsibility on the night
of August 3, when her former hus-
band, John L. De Saulles, was shot to
death at his home near Westbury, l.
l., will be asked a hypothetical ques-
ton of 10000 words in length.
The defense continued presenting
its case and it was expected that the
first of the expert witnesses would be
heard before night. Much of the ex-
pert testimony will concern the thy
roid condition styled "hypothyreosis'
by Mrs. De Saulles's attorneys. from
which they claim the defendant was
suffering at the time of the shooting.
This disease is claimed to have super
induced the irrational spell during
which Mrs. De Saulles says she fired
the shots.
Professional men other than the ex-
pert witnesses are to be CALLED by Dis
trict Attorney Charles r. Weeks to at
tack the assertions made in behalf of
Mrs De SaulleS.

HOLLAND.
Dutch ShipOwners Tried To
Clean Up on e. S.
Plug Leak to Germany Is Rea-
son for Embargo.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-America has
mot relaxed its championship of the
rights of neutrals and of small ma
tons, but such nations are expected
in return to show their grateful spirit
by not hampering America in waging
a war which even neutrals themselves
admit is for the common good.
: This was the answer given by Amer
lean authorities today to the plant
of DIR. Cort van Der Linden, Dutch
premier, in copyrighted United Press
interview.
They hold Americas embargo as a
diplomatic club by which the United
States can obtain neutral shipping and
at the same time make sure none of
Americas supplies leak to the enemy.
Crimp in German Domination.
Officials justified such an embargo
on the ground that by it neutrals are
really aided in avoiding German
domination "a domination which
many of them fear.
No intention is manifested here to
starve Holland or the other neutra1s,
but ships are the most important fac
tor in sending and maintaining Ameri-
can armies in Europe, and in feeding
this country's allies. The countries
fighting Germany need American
foodstuffS as badly as Holland does.
If supplies are to be diverted to neu-
America should receive the use of
neutral ships in return.
Ship Owners Baked.
The Dutch ship owners were slow
to heed American proposals. With
about one hundred Dutch cargo car
riers in American ports tied up since
the embargo became effective, Of
ficials endeavored to charter some for
hauling Java sugar to the United
States The ship owners, sensing a
sugar famine in this country, tried to
force America to give up wheat and
refused the vessels at any price.
American officials preferred to let the
people of this country curtail their
lavish use of sugar, knowing the time
would come when Hollanders could
no longer do without wheat.
An end of the deadlock is believed
in sight, however. American agents,
after months of investigation in Hol-
land and in other European neutral
countries. have collected data, check
ing up their needs.
Will Ration Holland.
British embargo figures which were
made available for the American ex-
peHs, were carefully verified. The
United States will shortly be able to
tell how much food can go into these
neutral countries without leakage into
Germany The neutrals will be ra-
toned just enough to keep them
going and no more.
= But first the neutrals will have to
vest in the American government the
power of routing these neutral ships.

FLORA BELLA

Possibly overfed with holiday at
fractions, Topeka didn't give Rhoda
Nickells the welcome to Topeka which
she really deserved. This Rhoda
introduction, is the Flora Bella
musical show which is doing the one
night service thru this country and
gave Topeka Tuesday night in which
to meet a woman VINO could sing.
There were some good lines in the
Flora Bella show. There was passing
fair dancing and once or twice the
rather light chorus registered. But
Rhoda NickellS, who was new and I'M
sung to the praise of Topeka theatre
patrons, pioneered the way for local
recognition in a way that will proba-
bly, bring more loose change to the
box office on a return trip.
This Rhoda -Nickells party is a
Kansas girl, too-born in Leaven-
worth. She studied opera five years
showed her studies had not been en-
tireIy in vain. She has range, pleas
ing voice and that mysterious stage
asset - personality. Around Rhoda
Nickells came the remainder of the
Flora Bella show. But Rhoda was so
far in front that few people recalled
the manner in which other entrants
came under the wire.
