2 CAMPS' RETURNS LACK RESULTS OF VOTES TAKEN Commissioners Get Few Bal lots, With Heavy Ex pense Accounts A few of the returns (lied at the department of the secretary of the commonwealth by commissioners ap . pointed by the Governor to take the votes of Pennsylvanians in military or naval service do not contain any statements of the candidates for whom the men voted. The names of the men voting are given, but no statement of results. In one instance a commissioner reported fifty-nine soldiers voting and stated that their names hud been * sent to the twenty-nine counties whence they hailed, but that there was no record of the way they voted. In nnother return names of thirty of thirty-two men who voted were filed here without any vote, offi cials here took statements from the commissioners regarding the situa tion and are hoping that the returns sent to counties may be found to con- j tain some figures. Eighty-seven out of 126 commis sioners have tiled returns and e.x --■ pense accounts at 10 cents a mile, j In one or two instances it is calcu- ] lated that the votes cost the state of; Pennsylvania $lO apiece, while In the Salt Lake case, wherein the com - ; missioner found all but two men gone vvhen he arrived, the state will : • pay more for affording means to ; vote. In all, men were sent to 109 ; places. Camps Lee, Meade and other big stations having more than one, commissioner. The Camp Lee com- > mlssioners brought back the largest J vote, about 3,000 out of 13,000 men, from Pennsylvania reported in that Antonment. Some of the return books do not 1 contain oaths of election officers, some are without names of camps in : proper places and with other omis-; slons which officials here are en- j deavoriny to correct. Somewhat of a chill was cast over Republicans here when the returns of about eighty commissioners to the bulk of the camps and stations were ; canvassed for Congressional votes. These returns were from the big camps like Lee and Meade, and showed these soldier votes regarding candidates in Congressional districts where contests are close: Tenth— ! Farr, 74; McLnne, 56: Eleventh— Carpenter, 71; Casey. Ill; Sixteenth —Lesher. 42; Duy. 29. There are forty commissioners to report, but the bulk of the big camps and sta-' tions have been heard from. Just what will be done about votes where the returns are lacking or imperfect ! Is not known now. • 288 DRAFTEES TO LEAVE FOR CAMPS [Continued from First l'agc.] town. Pa.

I r A A Disgrace to Journalism Blacker discredit was yesterday afternoon brought on American newspapers, than by any event in the memory of the oldest jour nalist. It is all very tine to rush out in oidinar.v times with sensa tional but unteritied dispatches, in order to snatch a few more pen nies from credulous folk. But to deceive the public and purvey false news in reference to one of the most momentous events in the i history ot the world—this is noth i lug short of an offense against public morals, as well as a viola tion ol professional ethics, which ought to be severely punished And the reckless papers which liamed with a report that they should have known to be incred ible. and which was shown to be untrustworthy on the slightest inquiry, involved in their disgrace other editors who strove to be honest with themselves and with their patrons. For the public is little discriminating it lumps all the newspapers together, and. af ter yesterday, will give new edge to the sneering question: "You surely don't believe anything you see in the papers?" It is for this reason that the Evening Post feels that yesterday's reckless Im- and betrayal of public confidence, hy the United Press ought seriously to be taken into consideration by all newspaper men who wish to keep their call ing reputable. We speak ot the gross r>ff;rse ot the United Press, but we should speak just as strongly of the As sociated Press if it had been ca pable ot such criminal trilling with the public. Take the original story and the later lame defense of the United Press. On its face, - the Paris dispatch was inherently improbable. it was Inconsistent with what we knew about the journey of the German commis sioners to Marshal Foch. Even before the later dispatches show ed that the United Press telegram was either a pure invention or a stupid misunderstanding, the evi dence of its huge improbability was before every news editor. The thing might be printed as an unconfirmed rumor, but the whole affair cried outj for careful veri fication. This was instantly un dertaken by the Associated Press, and In no time enough was dis covered to show that the United Press dispatch was either a fabri cation or the most Idiotic blun der. Vet with incredible levity and in the biggest headlines the dispatch, which every Intelligent newspaperman knew to be vio lently suspect, was flung to the public without a hint that it "was not official, and not to be taken for gospel truth: The limping and shamefaced explanations could not overtake the original lie. In fact, the alleged explanations had lying stamped all over them. The press, as we say, has a duty to perform respecting this outrage but has not the public also? Will our easy-going people simply pass it off as merely one more proof of newspaper irresponsibility, and laugh uf the next tale offered to the gullible? All that we can say is that if readers of the papers who gut this blow on the head are not roused by it to protest, and to resolve to distinguish between the journalism that strives to be accurate, and that which does not care a straw what it prints, so long as it sells, they will continue to be cheated by unscrupulous newspapers. And, in our opinion, they will deserve to be cheated. What ought to follow is some kind of organized and visible public protest, to bring it sharply home to the pockets—we speak not of their consciences—of dishonorable papers that their Impostures and their frauds do not pay.—New York Evening Post. \ J REV.

Germany May Use Wireless It is probable that the German reply to the Allied terms for an armistice will be brought back by the same courier .hat took | them to German headquarters at Spa yesterday. Under the eir j cumstances, it is believed the reply cannot be delivered before the middle of this afternoon, at the very earliest.

BRITISH SEIZE MAUBEUGE:PUT ENEMY IN TRAP lliiig Men Make It Impossible For Foe to Meet New Attack Washington, Nov. 9.—Capture of Maubeuge by the British, General March said to-day, marks the defi nite severance of the last German artery to that sector of the west front and will make it impossible for the enemy to shift his forces to meet a new attack. Summarizing the Allied successes since the inauguration of the for ward movement, General March pointed out that the Germans have been driven sixty-fotfr miles farther from Paris and the territory they occupy in France has been reduced from 10,000 square miles to less than 2,500. The American First army under General Pershing has advanced thirty miles in the last eight days. Denounces Fake Dispatch General March characterized the publication of the erroneous an nouncement of the armistice as "very bad for the military program of the United States." For Instance, he said. ;n New Vork. the stevedores who were engaged in loading very essential supplies for the expedition ary forces, stopped work and did not return nt all on that day or the next day and army food shipments thus were delayed. In commenting on this incident the chief of stuff made the statement that the American Army will lie in France for some time even when peace is declared. , Price of Boston Papers Go Up at Week's End Boston, Nov. , 9. —Publishers of Boston daily and Sunday papers voted to-day to advance the price next Friday to 2 cents morning and, evening, and 6 and 7 cents on Sun-; days.

All the Sunday papers sell I for 5 cents. Boston is the only large city in the country in which there still re mained 1-cent newspapers, and thej increase to 2 cents has been under consideration for some time. Largely | increased operating expenses and the jumping price of print paper have 1 made the 1-cent paper impossible. ! Must Fill War Chest, Even if Peace Comes, Sayr Mott New York.

There is a disposition too often to make of these occasions a mere jollification without meaning and contrary to tlie spirit of serious purpose underlying the alliance for righteousness and liberty and justice. In a premature celebra tion the other nig.t upon a false rumor of peace, there was mani fest a disposition to treat the whole thing as a Hallowe'en or Mardi Gras festival might have been treated. The gre- sacrifices of the war have touched I many hotn<;s, and while there should be great joy and rejoicing over the termination of hostilities and the coming of peace, there ought also to be a serious appreciation ol what has been achieved and what the vic tory means for tlie country and the world. The Telegrapli believes that, i above all else, there.should be a recognition of God in appropri ate services in all the churches. Of course, there should also be a great public demonstration in har mony with the ideals and purposes of the war. But all mere carni val features should be eliminated. ! It ought, in short, to be u fine pa triotic expression of the joy of the people along the line of sev- ! eral of the imposing demonstra- 1 tions which have marked the j progress of the war in Harrisburg. There is no necessity for anyN ! hasty celebration. It ought to 1 follow quickly, of course, after I the declaration of peapc. but | whatever Is done should be done after some thought as to the char acter of the celebration and the proper arrangement of details. ! It would seem that even now ' Mayor Kelstei might call Into conference the chairman of the > Committee of National Defense and others who have been promt- i nent In the war activities—men ! and women—-with o view to out- t lining a program to the end that ; theie may be no celebration that ' will reflect adversely upon a com- ' munity thnt has acquitted Itself j so admirably throughout the war.

ASH COLLECTION , CONTRACT PLAN [Continued from First Page.] tnent, he claims, has been a satisfac tor yone, but he is planning now to have the collections of ashes mado oftener next year, at. least during the | winter months. Numerous ' com i plaints have been received here. ! It will cost the city more money, I he said, but will insure much better service. The present arrangement . which went into effect early in tho year will cost the city $40,000 by the end of next month. Dr. Hasslor said he could not estimate what tho bids for the work next year will be. Behind in Schedules At present collections arc being made, according to officials of the Bureau of Ash and Garbage Inspec tion, by a fifteen-day schedule. Dur j ing the last month there was somo difficulty in maintaining this ar rangement they said, due to the epi demic of influenza, which caused the death of two of the collection force and at times had niapy of tho other men at home sick. November lfi, however, the colection gangs will start at Market street, working north and south as usual. Officials of the bureau have re i quested householders to provide from I four to six receptacles holding from | one to one and one-half bushels each. ) They said that with collections every i two weeks, one or two receptacles would not hold the accumulation of ashes. Co-operation on the part of j the householders will bo a big help i in meeting this condition, they said. May Collect Rubbish It was also announced that an | ordinance may be introduced in I Council in a week or two which ! will be effective beginning January 1 j and will provide for the collection of ! rubbish and ashes from all build { ings in the city. It is planned, i* I possible, to remove the refuse from j hotels and restaurants, lire company i houses and other places not includ- I ed in the present agreement. Wheth er Council will approve this plan of ficials could not say, but a number | of proprietors of hotels and res taurants during the year have made complaints because the ashes and | rubbish has not been taken from j their places. Another plan which may 'be pro \ posed would be to have weekly col ' lections for apartment houses and j other larger buildings where the '■ amount of coal used is greater and 1 the ashes accumulate in larger quan | titles. Officials said that collections j every two weeks for these places do j not prove as satisfactory as collcc j tions once each week.
