At 12 o'clock 867 votes out of the total vote of 1534, had been cast.

As in other districts the straight ticket seemed to predominate. Of all the districts on the East Side there seemed to be less enthusiasm and party workers at this district.

The vote in the first precinct of the Ninth District showed that the wo- men were out early to cast their bal lot. Mary. B.

The honor went to the Rahrig woman: Out of the total vote to be cast of g. 400 in this precinct 1,400 had voted up until II o'clock. It was estimated that three-fours of the vote had been cast by the voters at II o'clock. About 600 women had voted up to this time. The early morning casting of ballots was light but it increased as the time went on the officials at the booth giving their version at a steady run.'' Straight tickets seem to prevail according to the officials of both parties. Both parties were con- fident that the results tonight would return a handsome majority for their ticket.
 In the second precinct of the same district 549 of the men voters had cast their ballot at II o'clock. The total male vote in this district is 1,232.

that their losses on November IL were
nine killed and 172 wounded.
The attack of the 92d division on
November 10 continued at a. m on
the morning of the 18th, was not a
preliminary TO the proposed attack of
November "A.
Captain Livermore stated
Another point of interest in this
matter IS the fact that the 92d division
was operating under orders TO advance
along the Moselle. while the French, on
its right flank, were ordered to mark
knowing that the chances favored a
termination of hostilities before that
date. If the French worked on that
basis. why couldn't the Americans
have done as much?'
Followed General Plan
From July Is to the armistice, the
allies attacked in accordance with a
general plan. This plan contemplated
attacks from just east of the Moselle
to the sea- From a point just east OF
the Moselle to Switzerland the allies
were unable, prior to the armistice, to
concentrate the necessary means for
the attack. Thus the French troops,
holding the line east of the Moselle.
took no part in the reduction of the st.
Mihiel salient or the subsequent oper-
ations of the second army. Early in
November, the allied commandment
chief decided that the allies were in a
position to concentrate sufficient for
an attack cast of the Moselle. These
plans called for the employment of APP
proximately twenty French divisions,
supported on the left by six American
divisions. November IL, the necessary
movements of concentration of both
French and American troops were I'M
der way. but none of them were in
position. Captain Livermore appears
TO be under the impression that on
November IL General Mangin was in
command of the French troops on the
right of the 92d division, and that that
division was scheduled to attack on
the immediate left of the French on
November IA. Both these impressions
are wrong. General Mangin would
have commanded the French attack
of the 18th, but on the 18th none OF
his troops were in the line and General
Gerard commanded the army on the
right of the 92d division. The plans
for the attack of the 14th contem-
plated placing two American divisions,
the Sd and the 18th. in first line on the
right Of the 92u division, and did not
contemplate an attack by the 92d di-
vision except in the way of following
up to keep in touch with the advance
of the left of the Sd and 29th divisions.

The modistes, arpiters of women's

more absolute than kings, have mobil-
lied an array of gowns, wraps and ac-

Visiting the dressmaking salons of
these modistes, one could well imagine

artistic setting of the dressmaking

scene that greets her eye. Only an
fist could have selected the soft tinted
carpet, upon which the heaviest foot
falls noiselessly. Only an artist could
have placed the electroliers, with their

light streams forth, like moonbeams
