The dispatches below show the
wide extent Ot the war. liondon re
ports a message from Sarajevo says
the governor of Bosnia has addressed
a proclamation to the Austrian army,
declaring the Servians must be de
feated before winter. In conformity
with this the Servians have been driv
en back to their own country, but,
according to the Servian account,
they defeated the Austrians, who at
tempted to follow them.
There is a steady flow of recruits
for Kitchener’s army and It is ex
pected that Arlttvthe territorials, who
number six hundred thousand, Eng
land before long will have an army
of 2,000,000 men. New armies also
are being organized in India.
Perograd reports: “In East Prus
sia on November 11, an action devel
oped on the front of Stalluponen,
Krouglianken and tho region of Sel-
dau. Our troops occupied Johnnis-
burg (a small town of East Prussia,
7- miles to the southwest of Gumbin-
nen).
"Beyond the Vistula battles of sec
ondary importance occurred in the
region of Kalisz (Russian Poland),
and Neschava, where advance guards
o fthe enemy sought to progress.
“In the Carpathians the Austrian
rear guards maintained at the cross
ings on the Upper San, in the region
of Sanok, were attacked by our
troops.
“The siege of Przemysl, which was
suspended dnrlng the period in which
the Austro-German armies were on
the offensive, has been re-establish
ed.’’
Berlin reports: “In the eastern
theatre our cavalry operating near
Kaliss have driven back the Russian
cavalry, which made a fresh advance.
"Vienna headquarters reports that
in the battle for ttfe heights of Misar
against the Servians between Novem
ber 6 and 11, 4,3. 0 prisoners were
taken.
“Constantinople headquarters re
ports that the Caucasian army is at
tacking the second line of the Rus
sian positions. According to reports
of prisoners, the morale of the Rus
sians is very bad.
‘Turkish troopl which have cross
ed the Egyptian frontier have occu
pied El Artsh and Shelksar.’’
Han Francisco reports: “Passen
gen who arrived Thursday on the
liner Ventura, which left Snydey Oc
tober 24, reported that a few days
before sailing IS.000 Australian
troops were embarked in twenty-
three transports, convoyed by four
teen crulsen and sailed under cover
of night for a destination rumored to
be Egypt.’’
London reports: “An official Pre
toria dispatch received by Reuter's
says that Gen. Louis Botha came into
contact with the rebel Qen. OeWat’s
command twenty-four miles east of
Wlnburn, Orange River Colony, after
a forced night march. The rebels
were severely defeated, 250 being
taken prisoners.
’ Turkey reports through Berlin that
the Turks are meeting with consid
erable success in their operation^ in
the Caucasus and the Egyptian fron
tier. They occupied Sheikzar for at
El Arlsh, Egypt, and have taken four
field guns from the enemy. The Rus
sians in the Caucasus have been forc
ed to retire to their second line of de
fence. El Arish is "on the Mediter
ranean near the boundary of Egypt
and Palestine, It is of importance
as a point of water supply.
Petrograd correspondence to the
London Dally Mail says:
“It now is admitted seml-officlally,
but not yet mentioned in the official
communications, that it was the fail
ure of the German crown prince to
hold his position in the center which
compelled a retreat along the whole
line. While Gen. Von Hindenburg
on the left and the Austrians on the
right were both maintaining their
positions, the crown prince’s army
was fleeing back to the fatherland.
.“The Russians poured in between
the wings thus left in danger and a‘-
tacked them, each on two sides, forc
ing them to scramble back to the
frontiers and losing terribly all the
way.
“The excuse made in Germany of
bad roads is ridiculed here since, in
spite of bad roads, the Russian, ac
complished marvels in marching. The
Russians, unlike the Germans, do
not depend upon the resources of the
country they are traversing but bring
ample provisions with them.
“It appears that six German
princes were killed in this battle,
three of the Lippe family and one
each of the Houses of Hesse, Wal-
deck and Reuss.

rfl
Htandpat Paper Tries to Make it Ap
pear nut Electoral OoHefe Would
Have Beea Republican.
A standpat Republican paper cir
culated a story a fsw days ago in
which the claim was made that the
Republicans would have named the
president in the electoral college ott
the basis of the vote of Tuesday. Ten
states are listed by this standpat Re
publican authority, in which the Dem
ocrats elected either their candidates
for governor or United States sena
tor.
The Republicans are not in charge
of a single branch of the govern
service. They lost three seats in
Senate, cutting down their reprflk
sentation there to the lowest point
in more than 30 years. They lost
the house when every precedent tes
tifies that they should have polled
victory, and now a fake has been
Inaugurated to give them some ap
parent credit out of Tuesday’s re
sults.
In the list of states that these Re
publicans assert would have named
the president in the electoral college
on the basis of Tuesday's vote are:
California. Nevada, Oregon, South
Dakota and Wisconsin, which elect
ed the Democratic candidates for the
United States Senate—and Maine,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minsesota
and Wyoming, which elected Demo
cratic governors.
The issue was clean cut in every
one of these states. It was a straight-
out fight between Wilson and anti-
Wilson forces. The Democracy won
victories in most e^ery- instance
where the contest was State-wide.
There were exceptions, like New York
and Ohio, where local questions were
to the front to the exclusion of na
tional issues
The Democracy would have had
approximately 100 majority in the
electoral college on the basis of Tues
day’s vote. The states carried by the

W. W. Long, Stole Director of Agri
cultural Extension Work, Gives
i Good Advice for Replacing Ootton.
Thousands of cotton prodneers are
face to face with the problem of hav
ing to plant something in the place of
cotton with a chance of selling the
new crop at a profit or using it at
home to advantage.
About September 1, when it be
came apparent that the war in Eu
rope was to be of some duration, W.
W. Long, State agent and director of
extension in South Carolina for the
United States department of agricul
ture in co-operation with Clemson
liege, undertook to centre the at-
ntion of the farmers of the Pal
metto State on the growing of grain
and other crops in place of cotton-
This campaign of education in diver
sifleation is still being carried on by
Mr. Long and his farm demonstrators.
His office has distributed nearly 300,-
000 circulars in South Carolina, giv
ing detailed directions about the
planting and cultivation of grain
crops.
Mr. Long has advised South Caro
lina cotton producers to concentrate
this winter on oats and wheat. The
former grain can be produced to ex
cellent advantage in the Piedmont as
well as in the coastal plain. The lat
ter grain is better adapted to the
Piedmont section of the State than
to the coastal regions. ^Rye. is an
other small grain that many farmers
in South Carolina will plant this
winter.
Oats are sown in this State from
August to March, but the fall sown
crop yields better than that of mid
winter and spring. The crop may be
harvested for grain or cut for hay.
Oats planted in the fall are ready-for
harvesting in May or June. This
grain may be sown in cotton by using
a one-horse drill Just behind the cot
ton pickers, this being one of the
most satisfactory and least expensive
methods of seeding. The cotton
stalks can be cut down later in the
winter, so that they will not interfere
with the reaper and binder in har
vest time. Mr. Long thinks that
where oats follow corn or a hay crop,
such as cow peas or sorghum, the
land should be plowed and the oats
drilled in. though the seeds may be
sown and disked in. Oats planted
with a drill are not so likely to be
killed in winter ts those sown broad
cast.
Mr. Long has recommended the
Fulghum and Appier varieties of oats
for seeding. One and one-half bush
els of seed to the acre are generally
planted and give good results, al
though more or less may be used. Ar
a rule, the richer the land the lighter
the oats should be seeded. Less seed
are required when a drill is used.
Soil that is too rich or too much
nitrogenous fertilizer may cause octs
to lodge. For fertilizer in the south
eastern cotton States, from 200 to
500 pounds of a mixture of equal
parts of cotton seed meal and acid
phosphate may be applied with ad
vantage ^to each acre of oats when
planted, followed in March by a (>p
dressing of 100 pounds of nitrate of
soda. Mr. Long has warned South
Carolina farmers who are going to
plant oats on a large scale that great
care should be used in harvesting the
crop, as any discoloration will lower
the grade of the grain.
Oats can be produced in every type
of soil found in the State, but wheat
has a decided preference for heavy
loams and clay soils. Speaking gen
erally, yields of wheat are much
larger in the hilly and mountainous
sections.
Accordingly Mr. Long has recom
mended that wheat as a market crop
be (.attempted only in the Piedmont
and that farmers in the coastal plain
plant Just enough for home consump-
t l# ; i
^ heat lands should be plowed,
thoroughly fitted and pulverized with
harrows and rollers, so that the seed
bed will be firm with a thin layer of
loose soil at the surface. A drill is
the best implement for seeding wheat,
but it may be sown broadcast and
disked in. Five oh six pecks of w heat
should be used to seed an acre. No
vember is a good time to sow w heat.
It may be sown later with good re
sults. Bluestem, Purple Straw, Red
May, Filtz and Fulcaster are the va
rieties recommended to farmers in
the southeast. In this section wheat
should be fertilized with a mixture
of 500 pounds to the acre of equal
parts of cotton seed meal and acid
phosphate, followed in March by a
top dressing with 100 to 150 pounds
of nitrate of soda. The average yield
of wheat an acre in the United States
is 14 bushels. The average in the
Southeastern cotton states falls below
the average for the country, but a
yield of 200 bushels to the acre in the
southeast is not unusual.
With wheat selling at war prices,
there’is a chance for making it a
money crop in the Piedmont sections
of the southeastern cotton states.
Figures in the South Carolina de
partment of agriculture show that
$20,000,000 worth of flour was im
ported into the State in 1913. If
the cotton planters succeed in rais
ing only enough wheat to supply the
home demand in 1915 it will be a
large accomplishment.
None of the southeastern cotton
states produces enough oats for its
own use. South Carolina alone im
ported $2,000,000 worth of this grain
in 1913.

Great Britain and France Warn South
American Countries Against Fur
ther Violations.
Ecudor and Colombia have been
warned emphatically by Great Brit
ain and France that the Allies will
not countenance further violations of
neutrality by those South American
states.
After making strong representa
tions through tne British and French
minisU’-s. at Quito and Bogota, the
British and French governments com
municated with the United States in
view of possible complications that
might arise between Colombia and
Ecudor and the European belliger
ents.
Two notes were presented to Secre
tary Bryan by Sir Cecil Spring-Rice,
the British ambassador, and Jules
Jusserand, the French ambassador,
respectively, calling attention to rep
resentations made to Colombia and
Ecudor.
The notes do not request that the
United States t- ke any action, merely
advising the Washingteu government
of correspondence with the South
American states in line with the cus
tomary policy of keeping the United
States informed of matters of vital
consequence passing between Europe
and countries of this hemisphere.
The notes expressed the hope that
Ecudor and Colombia would be im
pressed with the value of maintain
ing strict neutrality, in which the
United States had given so signal an
example.
High officials of the Washington
government sr!d the notes were
phrased bo as not to request a reply,
and there is no implied obligation in
them requiring discussions between
this government and Ecudor and Co
lombia. Both the ministers from Co
lombia and Ecudor, who happened to
be at the state department, volun
teered denials of the alleged viola
tions of neutrality.
Just what the infractions consisted
of has not been made public, but at
the French embassy it was said posi
tive proof was in the hands of the
French government.
The British government charged
that the Galapagos Islands, off the
coast of Ecudor. have been used prac
tically as a coaling base for German
ships and that wireless^ stations in
both Ecudor and Colombia have been
giving German cruisers news of the
whereabouts of the British fleet. In
fact, responsibility for the defeat of
the British cruisers in the battle off
the Chilean coast is laid by British
officials to some extent at the doors
of Ecudor and Colombia.
British officials say no complaint
has been made against Chile, Great
Britain being satisfied of that coun
try’s neutrality. In this connection
Edurado Saurez. the Chilean ambas
sador, made public a cablegram from
Manuel Salinas, minister of foreign
affairs at Santiago, giving the minis
ter’s reply in the Senate to published
rumors of assistance to German ships
from Chileans.
The foreign minister said Chile
was suppressing all wireless installa
tions and that the government “had
adopted vigorous measures to pre
vent the belligerents from making
use of ports or territorial waters as
bases of naval operations.”
One significant point in the cable
gram was that the foreign minister
spoke of "endeavoring to come to
some arrangement on the point with
oth^r American countries.” Some in
Washington believe that Chile may
take the initiative in having South
American countries adopt a uniform
regulation on the wireless questjon.

GERMANS ADVANCE.
Allies Reports Show That They Have
Lost Ground During Last Week.
The military expert of The New
York Times after studying the war
reports of last week says while the
reports from allied sources have an
nounced various victories in the Yser-
Yys district, that nevertheless their
line proves to have been forced back
seven miles to Bixschoote, five miles
north of Ypres. Both to the north
and to the south of this city the Ger
mans have forced back the opposing
armies, but in the immediate vicinity
of Ypres the British resistance stif
fened after the first retirement. ^
The German retreat in East Prussia
and Poland seems to be greater than
is called for by the Russian opera
tions. It seems probable that they
have fallen back rapidly to take up
positions where they can act on the
defensive and hold back the Russians
while part of their forces move
against the French and British in-the

Democratic Members Most Choose
New Party Leader and Malays Im
portant Chairmanships—Republi
can Leader Expected to be tbe
Some—Lome Docks Appear.
Tuesday's elections uncovered
enough Interesting political situa
tions to keep the country wide awake
until the next presidential election
shall have come along. With tbe
Democrats satisfied with results and
the Republicans Jubilant' over what
they claim to be the handwriting on
.the wall fortelling a glorious G. O. P.
victory all along the line, the average
man sees enough to make him won
der what the next two years will
bring forth. ‘ .
Thinking for himself, putting two
and two together, and not taking the
statements of any paid publicity
agent or bureal as the real means of
determining results in the near fu
ture, the man with the long political
nose sees that Tuesday s results are
potential.
Taking it for granted that what
was done was not by any means to be
considered a rebuke to President
Wilson or his policies, foreign or
domestic, from the Republican view
point the most interesting develop
ment is that they believe that Col.
Roosevelt as a facto# in American
politics has been eliminated. The
slump in the Progressive vote with
teh exception of California was large,
and makes the Hull Moose a negli
gible quantity hereafter in the poli
tics of the country.
There was grim humor depicted on
the faces of Republicans from tnose
states, where Col. Roosevelt tried
hardest to defeat their candidates
His hardest fighting was done against
Whitman in New Vork and Penrose
in Pennsylvania. Both of these can
didates polled big majorities, espec
ially in the erse of Penrose who
swept everything before him.
Silver cloudr. are seen by tip* Re
publicans as a result of what has hap
pened and no one will deny that for
the next two years they will figh. for
control of congress and the White
House.
That Champ Clark will again be
speaker of the House is practically
assured as a result of tbe majority
that the Democrats will have in that
body> The leadership of the con
trolling party in the House, however,
will be changed, as Representative
Underwood of Alabama, now major
ity leader, will go to the Senate, to
which body he has already been elect
ed. It Is believed that Repreeeata-
tlve Kitchin of North Carolina who
ranks next to Mr. Underwood on the
ways and means committee and who
will be advanced to the chairmanship
of that committee when Mr. Under-'
wood goes to the Senate, will be
chosen as floor leader of the Demo
crats at their caucus which will he
held early in tbe new session.
So far as leadership on the Repub
lican side of the House is concerned
there is little doubt that that place
will be retained by Congressman
"Jim” Mann of Illinois, the "watch
dog” of the House.
Tho loss of many Democratic mem
bers means that there will he much
work for the .caucus to do when it
meets to fill out these places for the
Sixty-fourth congress. Where a
chairman of a committee has gone
down to defeat, it means that in all
probability the ranking man—that is.
the man next him on the committee
—will be automatically promoted to
the chairmanship.
Had the Republicans secured con
trol of the House they would be en
titled not only to name one from
their party as speaker, but would
also have controlled all the oher im-
prtant offices connected with the
House, from speaker to page, and
would have been in absolute posses
sion of the big part of the patronage.
Should the G. O. P. people get the
House two years hence those Demo
crats who have been snugly resting
in good paying places will find them
selves out in the cold.
As might be expected in such a
situation, the “lame duck” agrega-
tion has made its appearance on the
scene of action. Speculation was rif©
as to what the administration will do
for them. Many attractive places are
open which may be filled by four or
five of them.
Chief among the prizes which may
go this “lame duck” squal, which
thinks that its members are due
something because of the defeat suf
fered Tuesday are places on the new
federal trade commission, paying
$10,090 a year each for seven years,
the secretaryship of the commission,
which is 'WOtfh $5,000 a year, and
the position of director of the mint,
recently made vacant by the resigna
tion of George E. Roberts, wych is
also worth $5,000 a year.
