Mrs. Livineston's Statement

II am very much gratified with the
result of the vote although the skirmish
in the House Wednesday week forecast
the splendid victory today. Maine would
have discredited the motto of Dirigo
had she failed to give the women a
chance to put the question to the voters
The justice of Woman Suffrage cannot
be denied and the question of the ex-
pediency of allowing the Maine women
right to represent themselves the
Maine voters must determine in Septem-
Der.
THE evidence on this question Is all
in favor of the suffragist's contention.
We have no fear that men will not 81
decide when the question is put to them.
On the contrary, we enter the campaign
with courage and strong conviction
that there are enough men Of vision in
Maine to lead us to victory"

considerations that weighed with the

THE Democratic platform was
practically identical with the Repub-

candidates differed only in that one
had been broadened by four years
experience In the White House, and
the other had passed those years in

Court Martial Accepts Livin-

/ NEW YORK, Nov. 14.--Following
Gen. Hoyle's approval yesterday of
findings Of the court martial at Gov
ornors Island In the case of Private
Samuel 0. Livengood OF GAINESVILLE, o.,
charged with having poison in his pos
session with intent to do harm to his
comrades, Lieut.. Livingston. Assistant
Judge Advocate, announced that Liv-
ingeed had been completely exonerat-
ed Of that charge and sent back to
the Princeton, n. j.. aviation camp.
Livingood was penalized small
fine on a second count of having poi
son in his belongings unknown to his
commanding officer. which Lieut..
Livingston said, would not affect his
standing as soldier. Livingood's
mother wrote pathetic letter to the
Assistant Judge Advocate, after she
knew of the exoneration, in which
she said the publicity given to her
boys case has caused her neighbors
virtually to ostracise her and her dau-
ghter.
Mrs. Livingood indicated that the
people of GAINESVILLE whom she knew
had been crossing the street to avoid
her. She pleaded that her
boy receive every fair chance, and
expressed faith in the outcome. Lieut..

ter to her yesterday.

also was subjected to heavy mine
fire.
Evidence that the Germans consider
the situation in Flanders critical is
seen in an account of the fighting
there which Gen. Won Ardenne has
sent to the Tageblatt. According to a
Copenhagen despatch he says that no
way has been devised to prevent the
fire roller" as the Germans term the
British moving barrage, from making
steady gains.
THE German artillery is 50 numer-
icalIy inferior to the British he says,
that 1t is seldom relieved, and as it
cannot dig in, owing to the boggy ter
rain, 1t must fire without cover. The
conditions in the shell holes are such
that men falling into the centre of
them are lost unless assisted. Horses
breaking into the morases are shot,
because 1t is impossible to extricate
them. German counter attacks can
traverse the fire roller only by small
detachments in a single file. The loss
is slight If the manoeuvre succeeds.
