WARSAW, Nov. C. The manifesto of Emperor William mid Emperor Francis JoBopli again calling into ex istence the ancient kingdom ot Po land, was read at noon Sunday to tlie assembled I'ollsh representatives in tho royal palace by Governor General Von Doseler. Outside in the great square before the castle and In the spacious courtyard ot the venerable fourteenth century pile, inhabitants of the old Polish capital gathered by thousands to attend the ceremony of what is designated as the re-blrth of tho Polish nation a concept, the im portance and bearing of which are making their way Into tho minds of tho neoolo more or less ranidlv after its long sleep of more than a century. Ceremony n .Shoi-t One. Tho ceremony was short and sim ple. Precisely at noon General Von Beseler, wearing tho decorations granted for tho reduction of Antwerp and the Polish in the name of Ger many's sovereign read the imperial manifesto in ringing soldierly tones. When he ceased, the Polish Count ilutten-Czapski, the palace command ant read from a leather bound pamph let to the Polish notables a transla tion of the manifesto in their own lan guage. Then came cheers from the hither to silent crowd; cheers for Poland. Emperor William, Emperor Francis Joseph, for Germany, and the Ger mans, and for General Von Beseler. President Brudzinski of the recently elected city council, who is rector of the University of Warsaw, advanced , before the dais and In the Polish tongue gavo thanks for tho Imperial decree. He assorted the determina tion of the Poles would be found wor thy of the llerties conferred and asked that as the first step toward tho formation of the government a regent be appointed for the kingdom, since the time was ripe for the nomi nation of the hereditary sovereign promised in the manifest. To Finish (lie War President DriidzinakI who was in plain civilian attire, without decora tions, seemed to represent the spirit not of the ancient Poland, and the Polish chivalry, hut ot the modern in tellectual Poland. General Von Beseler replied In crisp soldierly phrases that in the midst of the world war had come the moment of fulfillment of the long cherished Polish wish for re-cstalish-luent of the Polish kingdom. "Doubts as to the future." he said, "con find no place in Polish hearts. $t will be our task, shoulder to shoul der with the residents ot Poland, to carry the war to a victorious conclus ion and to heal the wounds of the war. Take places at our side. In con fidence which we repay by the mag nanimous decision of the Austro-Gcr- man monarchs who place their seal on the plans for the unity of Poland. We hope that soon a Polish army will be fighting at our side in token of the sentiment for development of the new kingdom. May all good fortune at tend the kingdom of Poland." , Neither British Nor French Able to Retain in Entirety Ground Won Saturday Operation in Dobrudja Renewed With Rumanian Victory Russians Repel Germans.

Mail Tribune Straw Vote Ballot Shows President Will Get Practi cally Same Vote as Chamberlain Got in OK Weatherfcrd Winner Brewery Bill Beaten. FIRST SNOW OF YEAR I FAILS IN PORTLAND I'OKTI.ANh. Or.. Nov. li. Snow f l I luTf toilay for llie firist thin; this ,viir. Tin' r.ill liiBdd hut u fi'w inln utoH u ml wan noon n'usht'il away liy iiiln. Aa tho result of a straw ballot fin ished Sntitnliiy. The Mull Tribune pre dicts that ir anything like the total 1-enlstered ballot Is polled, Wllsou will carry Jackson county by upwards or 20U0 majority, and Weatherford for congress by upwards or 750 ma jority; that the Hrewer's Amendment will be defeated by upwards of 2300 majority and Hint the prohibition amendment will cany by upwards of 20011 votes. In practically every sec tion, Wilson will poll nearly the same vote polled by Senator Chamberlain In 19U. The vote was taken In resldenco districts of Jlcdlord and Ashland, and in tho towns of Jacksonvlllu, Talent, Phoenix, Central Point and Clold Hill and one country precinct, 'Barron. Dallnls wore left at houses not con nected with the itapcr and collected next day, errort being made to Include everyone In the district covered. An honest efrort was made to secure an accurato rorecast. Four hundred and firty ballots were sent Ashland as against 300 In Medrord, ror the rea son that Ashland Is the republican stronghold of the counly. 1,1.111 Votes Cnst. A similar poll, taiieii two years ago accurately forecasted the majority re ceived by Chamberlain nnd Smith, nnd the present poll underestimates tlie Wllsou strength, as country dis tricts t li ut are not included are even stronger than the tovns for the presi dent. A poll taken Friday In 14 iso lated country schools In various points of the county, gave a total of 3 4 for Hughes and 1 3 1 Tor Wilson. Chil dren In all Instances slutlng that they voted as I heir parentB would, Tlie total of 1130 ballots were re turned marked. The vote stood: Hughes, :i"ii; Wilson, 712; llanly. 2!; Benson, 33; llawley. 430; Klcll tards, 43; Weatherford, 5711; Brewery t Amendment, Yes. 300; No, 723; pro hibition, yes u!i7; No, 300. Assuming that S030 votes out of the iiono registered are cast, and the same percentage obtains, Wilson will iarry tlie county by 2,332, Woather 'rord by 1.004, the brewery bill by 2,973 anil prohibition win by 2,773. j Asbliinil Vote. ' ! The vole at Ashland was laken In tile three different residence sections of the clly. West Ashland, the most ! conservative republican section, gave 'Hughes a very marked lead. This Is. ithe smallest district iii population. jThn section about the Boulevard and jsouth was selected to keep away from jtlie railroad Influence as much as pos sible, and it gave Wilson a good ma jority. The other section was from ;Oak slrnct and Hast Main eastward, which district Includes the Influence of the railroad employes nnd whkli i w as overwhelmingly for Wilson.
