Eight Thousand Red Gross Members
Ballots May be Cast for New
Directors at Its An
nuai Election.
TWICE THE CIVIL VOTE
Australian Ballot Method will be
Used While Judges and Clerks
from Rcd Cross Chapter
Will Act.

BY far the biggest election ever
held in Keokuk will be that for new
directors of the Keokuk chapter OF
the Red Cross.
| Eight thousand members of the
Red Cross have a ballot at TINS eAec-
ton. There are only little more
than four thousand legal votes IN
Keokuk for civil elections.
If all the Red Cross members vote.
the number of ballots cast Will be
about twice that at any election ever
held here.
| At this Red Cross election, men,
women and children may all vote Tor
directors, regardless of age, sex, OF
anything else except membership IN
the Red Cross.
During the last Red Cross drive
here, every phase of Keokuk1ans
were secured as members and the
number is both large and thoroughly
distributed over the city.
How It VIII Be Done.
The election is planned by the
present executive of the Keokuk
| chapter to be held in the rooms OF
the Keokuk Industrial association,
and after the methods used by that
[, corporation.
| There will be Australian ballots
containing the names of thirty candl'
dates selected by a committee. Fiji
/ teen of these candidates are to De
elected director The members Will
vote for fifteen out of the thirty per-
sons nominated by the committee.
Prominent members Of the Keokuk
Red Cross will act as Judges and
clerks of the election, and each mem
| Der of the Red Cross will have one
vote, regardless of the size of the
( subscription made to it.
| Women and Children Will Vote.
| 1t is not expected that every mem
| Der in Keokuk will vote-but expert
enced observers of elections know
THAT one never can tell what the
people will take a notion to do
School board elections in Keokuk ran
for years with few hundred ballots
cast, and then one year over three
thousand voters surged into the vot.
ing place and voted in one afternoon.
| It is believed that many women
and children will take advantage OF
i this opportunity to mark an Austria
liam ballot and participate in an
election while many men will neglect
to go to the polls.
The date is entirely uncertain, as
! 1t cannot be until after the ban is
lifted from assemblages Of people
The Chicago headquarters suggests
that November 20 is a good date to
figure on, but the influenza situation
may make it later than that.
| In the meantime the executives OF
the Keokuk chapter are getting every
detail ready for whenever the largest
election ever in Keokuk may be held

TWO CHOICES
FOR GERMANY
Either Keep Their Beloved Kaiser
and Fight on, or Dispose
Of Him and Have
Peace

LONDON, Oct. 17-(British admir-.
atty Notwithstanding on the
choice which Germany is now called
upon to make, the Westminster Ga
zette (regarded as the British semi
official organ) says:
There are two possible alterna-
tives ahead of US.
"The first is that the German peo
pie, faced by President Wilson's de-
mand for extinction Of kafserism
declare their confidence in autocracy
and it's instruments and their willing
ness to fight to the death in defense
of these German potentates and In
situations.
1.-THE second is that they will judge
that kaiserdom has been their ruin
and take effective steps to make an
end to it and thus present themselves
with good credentials as liberated
and free people.
"In the first case, we cannot die
tate to them what sort of govern
ment they shall live under. A free
constitution imposed by the allies
upon a reluctant Germany would be
a dangerous imposture. II the Ger
man people tell us that they are de
voted to the kaiser and determined
to keep him on his throne and to
perpetuate the system that he repre-
sents, we must accept their choice
But in that case we must take every
conceivable precaution to make sure
that this German system, though rati
fled by the German people, Is power
less for mischief to the rest of the
world and that its method Of blood
and iron are strictly confined and
only practiced upon the Germans"

the territory, but the work with stock that has been done at this particular station is some= thing that can be duplicated nowhere else, and is invaluable for the future of the country.
 The fisheries bureau asks for one hun tion of the seals of the territory Everyone familiar with the situation knows that the fur seals were in danger of being wiped out of existence by the market hunters. These valuable fur bearers are so easy to hunt and kill that there was no natural reason to keep the greedy hunters from actually exterminat- ing the species and eliminating future re- source of the territory. The money asked for will doubtless be used in further protection of these fur bearers, and will ultimately add much to. the wealth of the country.
 One hundred and eleven thousand is asked for the care of those unfortunate people who are unable to cope with the rigors of life in Alaska and go down before it, sometimes ruined for life, namely the insane patients of the territory. There has been dissatisfaction expressed with the treatment accorded these people, and indeed there has been reason for a great part of it. Better provision should be made for them, and doubtless this money would be used for that purpose.
 Take it all in all, this proposed appro- .priation means much to the territory, but it is only small part of what should be done for the country. It promises we'll for the future, however, and is hopeful sign, one that shoud bring encouragement to all who are interested in the future and the development of this wonderful territory.

sense ill contrast to the uproar that has gone to the skies lately in England, over something that has not even been considered as yet, and shows that all leading Englishmen have not lost their habitual reserve and conserva- tism and gone wild in anticipation
 The probable solution that will be arrived at around the conference table at Versailles doubtless will be something on this order there will be navy consisting of units from all the nations represented in the league of nations that will police the seas and main tain order and freedom under the direction of the league of nations. Thus the rights of all nations will be safeguarded, and no one of them will be supreme, and thus control the shipping. Great Britain cannot help but ac- cede to this in all fairness and justice, or find herself opposed to the rest of the world.
 In the meantime it is good to find one Englishman who does not lose all his sense and raise howl to the skies over situa- tion that is not even at hand yet, and which will be met all in good time at the proper place. He realizes the position in which this clamor places Great Britain, and recognizes the harm that it would do if continued for long, so he strives to quiet the hysteria that seems to have seized hold of so many of his countrymen, with little sound reasoning, and avert the danSr that he sees in a con- tlnuatlon of that attitude.
