Washington, April 2.-Informally an

'It is with profound gratitude that we

newspaper press has been rendering to
the people by the prompt and accurate
publication OF the casualty lists from
day to day. that the supreme sacrifices
made by officers and men of our forces
abroad mightSbe known to their friends
and relatives at home.
'The policy of the War Department
has been to notify the next of kin i'm
mediately by telegraph of any misfor-
tune Detailing a soldier, but the respon-
sibility OF notification extended also to
the community, and this has been ac-
complished through the newspaper press

the least possible lapse Of time.
THE newspapers have rigidly kept
faith on release notices, thus insurine

HOLLOW WET" VICTORY

Chicago. April 1.--Complete returns
today from yesterdays municipal cleo
ton showed that william Hale Thomp-
son CRepublcan) was reelected mayor
for a term of four years by a plurality
of 1900 over Robert NJ. Sweitzer
DemocraD his nearest competitor. and
that the city voted wet" by majority
of 24I22S.
Four other candidates were in the
fcld--Maclay Hoyne independent Demo-
CraD, John Fitzpatrick Uabor), John NJ.
Collins (SocalisO and Adolph S. Carm
tSocialist Labor). The total vote for
mayor was 6SS.36l out of a registration
of 10000. At the mayoralty election
four years ago Thompson defeated
Sweitzer by more than $4,000 votes.

actual beginning of campaign to repu-
diate national prohibition.
statements by Rival Leagues"
The Trades Union Liberty League is
sued the following statement:
Through the overwhelming defeat of
the drys, Chicago has spoken in tones
that will ring in the ears of those Sub
servient lawmakers who have SO
cravenly surrendered the liberty OF
American citizens at the dictation OF a
clique epaid prohibition lobbyists.
There will now be no let-up in the pro-
test against prohibition tyranny until
the freedom of the people has been
fully restored to them. This Is the
message Chicago sends to Congress"
On the other hand, Il. J. Davis, Chi
cago superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League, said:
II am not surprised at the result. We
made no fight and asked no one to
vote for a dry Chicago. To have done
so would have been to dshonor the
vets to use Chicago results in an ef-
fort to terrorize Congress and the su.
preme Court is little short of seditious'
The wet and dry election was planned
fop two years ago, but court proceed
ings delayed It until yesterday. Mean.
while the presidential proclamation and
the prohibition amendment to the con-
stitution deprived local option, which
was the issue on the ballot, of its inn
portance, except as allowing an eX.
preston of sentiment. Had the amend
ment carried, Chicago saloons would
have been compelled to close on May
next.
Socialists Badly Beaten
The Democrats elected city treas.
urer and city clerk, while the Republican
candidates for Superior Cour. judge and
municipal judge were successful. The
sldermanic returns show the elimination
of Socialists from the City Council
In the new Council the Democrats
will have substantial majority over
the Republicans, the body being made
up of representatives of these two par.
ties. The Democrats will have Il vot'
ing strength of forty-flve and the Re.
publicans twenty-five in the new Coun
ell.
Among the aldermen reelected was
Michael Kenna (Hnxy Dink), who has
been a member OF the City Council
from the First Ward continuously fol
twenty-eght years.

The campaign was perhaps the most
bitter ever contested in Chicago. Parti-
sanship, religion and racial feeling re-
suited in demonstrations toward the
close to an extent that frequently called
for police interference.
City "Wet" by Big Vote
Although other city officials were on
the ticket, including one Alderman for

tion. which appeared on the little bal

COTTON SHOWS GAINS
Trend of Market k Higher Due to
 Reports 0i Crop Damage.

New Orleans, Aug. 31.-The trend was higher in a moderate way in cot ton last week, the market being in- fluenced mainly by private accounts of damage to the growing crop by worms and weeyils The somewhat better tone in foreign exchange was a support to values and late in the week so was the disposition among shorts to cover their commitments over the triple Labor Day holidays and the bureau report on condition immediately following. The last cou- ple of sessions of the week were de- voted for the most part to evening up operations. The close showed net gains of 5 to 66 points,
 The new week will open Tuesday and at the end of the first hour of bus mess the Department of Agriculture will issue it's figures on the condition of the crop on August 25. This report is quite generally regarded as the most important of the growing season thus far Private estimates have ranged from as low as around 59 per cent of the normal up to around GA. August 25. last yeaar, the condition fell to 55.7, the lowest on record for that date, the deterioration in the month being 17.9 points The average deterioration in August during the last 10 years amounts to TT points.
 Tn the opinion of many cotton men the indicated crop figures are of more importance than the condition per centaee itself. Last year the August p condition pointed to yield of H., 137, ,0oG bales Several private bureaus this year have talked about indications of Il soc 900 bales.
 Following bureau day, the trade will probably be forced to pay more atten tion to the picking and moving of the new crop since the time of the first ginning returns of the season will not be for off

Letters From
Local

Letter from Sergeant Michael v. Fee
My dear Father,
L cannot do any more than ac-
knowledge the receipt yesterday of
your letter. Our regiment Is still in
the same place, and our company is
still up here in the high hills of Fla
vigny and as far as official informa-
tion Is concerned, we are to be here
for several months.
I surely do hope that 1t will not
be too long, as, although we can well
live a few months this comparatively
easy life, nevertheless we are anx-
iously awaiting the call to leave for
the boat. These old French winters
are anything but nice I'M several of
our boys are sick. / have never felt
better in my life and try not to catch
cold or get wet. 1t rains over here
all the time, and the rain, not the
weather, is nasty cold. Flavigny is
very old and is also quite famous and
l will tell you all about 1t when I get
home.
/ am awfully sorry for your sake
that / did not make q collection of
war souvenirs, but you know most of
us never dreamed that the war would
be over for at least another year or
two, with very little chance of u
getting home with souvenirs, and for
that reason l was not the least bit
interested. However, l think there
will be all kinds Of souvenirs in every
hook shop in the States, so o do
not have to worry.
Lovingly yours,
MICHAEL.
