Since then there has been an experi- ence which is clearly "outlined in "the London Chronicle, Nicholas Cockshutt was the donservative candidate in Rochdale Borough, and he had done so well as to reduce the adverse ma- jority of a former election from 1,438 to 477. He was again in nomination, but he is now out of it, and becanse he bas disapproved of Bomsr-.Law's revolutionary or incendiary talk.

Washington, Aug. Forty wo- men wounded while serving ammuni- tion in the trenches at Hanagya are in hospitels in the turbulent capital of Nicaragua, according to fmforma- tion received al the state department from Commander Terhune, of the An- napolis, who recently conferred with Consul Weitzel in the Nicaragua Lupi tal. - The participation of women in' the war now being waged between the hh beral and conservative forces indicates how bitter is the feeling. The number reported wounded by Commander Ter hune also serves as an index to thg seriousness of the situation and the number of combatants. Re Women and children have fled from the disturbed districts and some; of them have been injured, but the re- port of Commander Terhune is the first indication that Nicaraguan men arc taking an part fighting.
