WILL. COME FROM MON 'ANA AND IS REPUBLICAN; UNCLE JOE CANNON REELECTED ' BY PERRY ARNOLD (By" United Press) New York. November 10. Amen tia has chsen Woodrow Wilson and Thomas R Marshall for tour more years, on the face of available re turns. Only the meagre possibility thit the Republicans could change the. situation by contesting the returns I In the courts where the vote was close gives them any ground for re fusing to concede the election to Wilson. California's entire vote had not been counted at eight o'clock to-davj but Wilson's lead in that state is now so commanding that it appear ed that no matter what the resui' on the few remaining precincts, he' will have a clear plurality of the votes cast. There still remains tha possibility, however, that Califor nia's electoral vote may be divided. Complete returns from all bu t 33 out of 5.866 precincts glv$ Wilson a lead in the state of 5,298. The entire vote of the 33 missing precincts could not overcome Wil son's plurality. Counting California's entire vote, Wilson has a majority In the elec toral college, disregarding the Je suit in the three Bewailed doubt ful states of Minnesota, New Hamp shire and New Mexico. The com bined electoral votes of thep8 three would be lnkufficent to elect Hughes unless the Republican nom inee gained at least four of Califor nia's vote on a split. ' But in New Mexico,. wjtn over half the electoral vote Counted Wll sos is leading by a plurality of 6,000 and Democrats claim the state with utmost confidence.

Oct. 26 (By Mail) A young Australian soldier, wounded while servlngas one or the crew in a "tank" has given the world the first real story of what happens when this newest engine of war goes Into action. His diary of a week's work in an armored Jugger nauLtollows: MWidfy Out for the first time. Strange sensation. Bujlets rained like hall on a galvanized roof. Sud denly g"ve a terrible lurch. .Look out sMd we were astride an enemy trench. "Give 'em Hell" was the or der. We did. The frightened Ger mans ran like rabbits but were shot flown in Bunches. Machine-guns star ted vicious rattle on our 'hide." Not the least impression. Moved on and caught another detachment.Cut their ranks to ribbon. Prisoners very curious stared at us wide-eyed. First day's experience not pleasant. "Tank" sickness is as bad as sea sickness." Tuesday Off for another cruise. Peppering began at once. Thought the old tank was going to drewn Ti the shower of bullets, ailly Blight ers thought they could tush the tank like a fort. We fired at them point blank. We spat at them veno mously. The blessed old tub gave lurch, f though itias goodbye earth. It was onf some Oerraffti dead and wouadeaswe had skir" Into. Rain of bullets sounded hundreds of rivets being driven Into the tank's hide. We got to like the regular rhythm of It. Heavier strum mlng on our keyboard. Machine-gun at it. There was a tremendous thud along about this time. Whole outfit thought we were done for. Only, some unwonted obstacles a long an enemy parapet. Some Huns tried the rushing dodge. Their rush ing days are over. Wednesday Early start. Rough est voyage yet. Waves of fire seem ed to break over us. Party of Ger mans came to meet us outside the trenches. Thought It was the May or and. vilage notables coming to give us a warm welcome. Mistaken. They let fly with machine-guns. They they tried boarding tactics. We laughed. Tank reception party dispersed in cloud of smoke. Only remaining member fat .old gentle man threw himself down before us with many signs of submission. Thursday Passed down village street of wrecked houses. Huns rushed out of cellars and dug outs. One blighter rushat at us with club bed rifle. Made terrible sTlpe at the tank. Hurt himself more than us. Had .nice joy ride after a bevy of fleeing Germans. All fat men. Friday Early afloat. Usual show er of bullets. Got right across a trench. Enemy tried to run but cou'dn't Threw up sponge. . One cheeky chap said he didn't think it waa fair to use such fighting ma chine. We asked him if ha thought we ought to get the Kaiser's per mission to use the tanks.' Didn't see the joke. Took about 200 prisoners. Killed and wounded as many more. Tired out. Saturday Out before" breakfast, terrible crash first thing. Thought we had encountered wandering world. Weathered storm. Rare sport. Enemy preparing for sur prise attack. 6ur surprise came first. We waddled into their am bush. Never saw men so frighten ed. Only few chaps stayed behind. Went snorting after them wherever we could find them.
