Wilson, Democrat of Butler, in the Twenty Second Congressional Dis trict, comprising Butler and west moreIand counties, over John M Jarnison, Republican and wealthy coal operator of this city, Demo cratic leaders tonight claimed that the sentiment of the people on the Presidents League of Nations plan had been shown for the first time.
 The Democratic victory, coming in a district which only once since the birth of the Republican Party has been represented by Demo crat, is considered by the party leaders as a whOle-hearted tndorse- nent by the people of the President and his policies, and at the same time a slap at the Republican fili- buster which strangled the Senate in it's closing hours this week.

The country through which the Allied and Rus sian troops are operating is, for the most part, very sparsely settled. Al some points the American engineers have doubled the existing number of houses in a village. They have built, built and are still building.
 One of their jobs on the Vologda railroad sector of the front has been to transform rough little box cars into habitations for troops.
