IVwer and I'linrlea It. Ward. Demo-' nitjc district leatlers. are working for lie. re-uiencion of Mayor Miichel aud Borough President Pound.

Mr. Xfc-Cooey's charge was prompted hy Ward's statement of yesterday that the county leader bad ignored the Sixteenth anti Twenty-third Assembly districts in the liistri'iution of patronage. "Mr. Ward and Mr. Tower are work-irg for the re-election of Mayor Mitchei Borough President Pounds." Mr.

MeCooey declared when asked by new-s-papermen to reply to Ward's attack. John .1. tiordon. a Bath Beach Democrat, charged that Ward was "a a jear aide for Mr. in the Democratic party." For several days Democratic leaden-lave been dismissing the apparent in of Ward and Power in the reflection of the Fusion ticket.

Ward is said to have held severn! secret conference? with Pounds aud other Fu sionists and in the Mitchei camp boasts have been reieatedly heard thnt these lindens would swing their districts to the Fusion ticket. It was charged today that Ward has repeatedly predicted that Mitchei would bent Judge Hylan. the Democratic candidate, two to one. nnd that Pounds would sweep the county. Mr.

These sections were formerly divided between Ward and Power, and many of their cohorts are now in Fennelly'a bailiwick. Ward and Tower say they will use theae men to beat Fennelly on Primary day.

German nero-plnms lust nijjlit raided the Chathaui-Sheerness area of Knglaud (Chatham is a British naval base ami Sheerness Is a naval and military depot), inflicting what the admiralty officially described to-day as "navfii totalling 107 dead and SO wounded. On the, Isle of Thanet.

the raiders killed one more and wounded six other persona. "About sis enemy airplanes followed the eoulh bank of the Thames from 10:40 to 11:30 last night," the officiul statement said. "Our machines rose aud anti-aircraft guns were in action without results." Chatham contains immense military and naval establishments, docks, barracks, engineer school and iniemiise fortifications. Sheerness is also a strongly fortified seaport, the naval arsei.al of England. It likewise has great docks.

The size of the "naval casualties" reported indicates that the German raiders' bombs blew up something possibly a ship or some of the buildings in the two great bases. Chatham is about twenty-five miles from London. It is at the lower point of the river Medway, which flows from the river Thames at the point where Shacrness is located. THREE YEARS FOR "FENCE."

A quick, hard drive on from Riga toward Petrograd ig London's forecast to-day of Germany's Russian campaign. Military experts believe Germany will do her utmost In speed. The Germans must go far in the 320-mile journey toward tlie Russian capital before freei- ing weather if they expect to rely on the Genua Baltic fleet'a aid. They may naturally also be expected to hurry with all speed to cover as much ground as possible before General Korniloff can carry out his plans for regeneration of the Russian army.

If the Russians manifest a proper lighting spirit, military authorities here to-day agreed, they will eagily block the German drive. The ground from Riga to l'etrograd is of a nature lending itself readily to defense. It is marshy and studded with small lakes and waterways. Small bodies of Russian troop could play havoc with greatly superior attacking forces attempting an advance over such broken terrain as this. In the opinion of observers hers, much depends on the Russian fleet in stopping the expected German drive.

If mutinous tailors can he quelled and discipline and fighting spirit restored, the Russian flee could effectually hamperperhaps prevent operations by a German fleet in tho Baltic, No attempt was made to minimise the effect of Riga's fall on the German pupulation.
