HUNGARY HAS REVOLTED Americans in Bitter Fight at Belleau Wood DECREASE IN NEW INFLUENZA CASES SHOULD NOT CAUSE LESS PRECAUTION “Much Better” Reports from Health Depart ment Will Not Lessen Work to Kill Epi demic. SIX DEATHS IN CITY MONDAY Only 36 New Cases Re ported Today Cold Weather Believed to Have Helped Destroy Germs. Don’t Be Too Hasty. While physicians and health offi cials consider the influenza situa tion much improved, they strongly urge every precaution to be observ ed to prevent new cases. Scattering reports over the city that the ban will be lifted this week have no foundation. At the Board of Edu cation this morning, officials said that no announcement would be forth coming on the opening cf schools before Friday at lean. Business men are anxious to lift the ban which is affecting sales, but refuse to do so until the epidemic has been stamped out. Obey health rules and assist city authorities is the quickest way to conquer the disease. The health situation is much better In East St. Louis this week than at any time since the influenza epidemic started nearly a month ago, hfealtb authorities said this morning, after re ports from physicians showing the to tal number of deaths and new cases had been received. It Is believed the disease is fast dying out, and it is known, from daily reports, that two thirds of the persons 111 last week are now entirely well of the disease. Ninety deaths have resulted since the ■fcpwstjgic started, but a compari son with reports to the Health De partment last year and the year be fore show that a number die each year from penumonia. brought on by by what is commonly called "grippe.” Physicians declare that Spanish In fluenza is nothing more, in light cau ses, than La Grippe. The number of deaths, therefore, can almost be ex pected each year, it is asserted. Six deaths have occurred in the city proper since noon yesterday. Four of them were this morning. There have been 125 new cases since yester day noon, S9 of them being reported late yesterday afternoon, and 36 this mornirg. The death total has reach ed 90. These numbers do not include Washington Park, Alta Sita, Lans downe, Fairmont and other outlying suburbs. The deaths in the city yesterday afternoon and this morning were: Homer Hill, 40 years old. 1420 Colas avenue: Ludwika Swedo, 32, 1220 N. Eighth street; William Philip Crom ley. 46, 468 Columbia place; Delbert Frymyer. 29, 913 Summit avenue; .Pearl McCollum. 20. rear 113 Bowman avenue; John Partika, 2, 1217 North Eishth street. Health officials believe the situation is getting better daily, from reports sent in by physicians throughout the city. Fewer deaths are resulting from the disease than last week, and the eases are not quite so many, although they are still up around the 100 mark. Every precaution to prevent the further spread of the disease will be kept up. and no efforts will be made bids meetings of any nature. The disease is growing less prev alent because of the favorable weath er conditions, and health authorities believe there will be little trace of In fluenza next week if the cold weather continues. The Ewing Hospital Is now prepared to care for a much greater number of patients than have applied, James K. Ewing, humane officer, in charge of the general supervision of the hospital raid today. There are now only five influenza cases there, one having been sent home last night. New beds were installed yesterday, in the event that the epidemic should take on greater proportion. The Ewing Emergency Hospital is now the only one in the city which will accept influenza cases. All other hospitals refuse, because of the dan ger of other patients contracting the disease. Optimistic Thought. Observe thyself as thy greatest en emy .voulo do; so shalt thou be thy greatest friend. i Rides a Horse in France His Folks Sold to the Army Jerseyville, Oct. 26.—To have a horse assigned to him for use in France that his parents had sold back in the states two years before, was the experience of Byron McDow. McDow left Jerseyville in May with a contingent of drafted men for Camp Dix, N. J. He went overseas im mediately. He was assigned to duty at a re mount station. It was one of his tasks to go into the country and buy horses for the army. A couple of years ago the McDow family sold a horse that had been in the service of the farm for some time. In France a horse was assigned to McDow for his work. He thought; the animal looked familiar. He called the horse by the name it had known on the McDow farm in America. The animal nickered response. McDow identified the animal by a mark near one of its hoofs. Today McDow is using the animal in France. FOUR ABSENT FROM PARENTS* WEDDING FETE Service Flag Explains Absence of Family Members. The four stars In their service flag marked the four absent members at the family reunion last night at the home of Mrs. J. Luscomb, 423 N. 14th street, given in honor of the Golden Wedding Anniversary of her parentB, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mitchell, of 332 N. 7th street.

NEGRESS SHOOTS ANOTHER FOR STEALING BEAU Edith Kimbel, negress, living in the -rear of 1526 Colas avenue, was ser iously wounded at 1:45 o’clock this morning when she was shot twice by Ollie Lee. negress, 1G06 Russell ave nue. The shooting followed an argu ment over a negro, Will Lewis, 1606 Russell avenue, police learned. The Lea woman went to the Colas avenue address and accused the other of trying to alienate the affections of her sweetheart, police were told, and when the Kimbel woman refused to give satisfaction, she was shot twice in the left side. Dr. Winning, assist ant county physician, said this morn >ng there is little chance for her re covery.

McCORMICK IS WORTHY SUPPORT Candidate for U. S. Senator Is Qualified to Speak for State Both in War and Peace. Special to Dally Journal. Springfield, Oct. 28.—"Does anyone at Washington believe that the Middle West #ould have arisen with greater arder and effectiveness if these states had been governed by the Democratic party?” asked Governor Frank O. Low den in a statement issued at Chicago, oaturday, through the Republican state Committee. Governor Lowden made one of the strongest arguments in favor of Re publican principles and candidates is sued this year. He urges the election of Medill McCormick to the United States Senate because "he represents the will of Illinois to win in the great war and is fully alive to the neces sity of reorganizing the government at w asnmgion upon a business basis.” The statement is as follows: "I had hoped that our adversaries in this campaign would say something about their program for the period fol lowing the war. The work of reorgan ization which will then come will be as important as now is the conduct of the war itself; In fact, there will tie more perplexity and difficult prob lems then than now. For now our people are thoroughly united in the prosecution of the war and have but one object—namely: peace, through complete victory of our arms. When, however, peace shall come, there will be a wide difference of opinion as to how we shall successfully meet peace conditions. I, in common with all other Republicans believe that the Republican party alone is capable of meeting these problems successfully and still maintaining the fundamentals of our constitution. "We would like to discuss these questions with our Democratic friends. They apparently, however, have re fused our invitation, and, judging by the press, seek to rest their whole case upon the claim that if we do not elect a Democratic congress we give comfort to our enemies at Berlin. Since they insist upon this as the con trolling issue, lot us examine it. Republicans A^d President. “We agreed that the Republican party should support the government in the prosecuUon of this war, to the very limit. We have shown tnat the government has had a more generous support from Republican members of congress than it ha3 had ftom members of i.8 own party. Why, then, should Republicans not vote for Republican candidates who have whole-heartedly supported the war? While we admit thtu. it’s our duty to support the gov ernment in the prosecution of the war, we insist that we have a right to se lect our own agents to represent us in such support. This is the corner ston® of free institutions. Our ad versaries have the confidence of the president; I say that we should elect senators and representatives who will have in the largest measure the con fidence of the people whom they rep resent. "When the break with Germany came the administration at Washing ton and the people generally of the eastern and southern states were filled with fear of what the Middle West might do with reference to the war. All eyes were turned in this direction. Men wondered what Indiana, Michigan Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois, the very body of the Middle West, would do. These states were all Republican states with Republican state govern ments. I need not now recount how nobly and whole-heartedly the Middle West responded to the challenge. That is now a part of the glorious history of the West. Those states have furn ished more men. and vastly more money, to the support of the govern ment than the southern states com bined, which absolutely control the Democratic party. And mind >*>u. the great Middle-West states have glatfiy made this contribution to a war, about (Continued on Page Six) i Increase in Revenue is Cause of Suit Suburban Seeks Higher Rate from Interurban Express Co. The East St. Louis Suburban I Railway Company today instituted proceedings in the City Court in an effort to obtain increased revenue from the Interurban Express Com I pciuv. I The petition states that on August j 1. 1907 the street car company en- j tered into an agreement with H. M. Dittoo and J. F. Johnson whereby the latter were to conduct an ex press service, making use of the street car company’s tracks, power, etc. The contract was for five years, extended for an additional five years, expiring July 31, 1917. This contract was transferred to the Interurban Express Company, and provided for a j compensation to be granted the street i car company of 22 Vi per cent of the gross receipts. A supplemental con tract was entered into Sept. 18, 1903 wherein the street car company was to receive 30 per cent of the gross re ceipts. The street car company notified the express company that because of in creased expenses it desired an in creased percentage of the gross re ceipts and inasmuch as an agreement I could not be reached, arbitrators were j selected to bring about the desired i result. The street car company se j lected F. E. Fisher and the express j company was represented by J. M. Allen. The street car company says I that no agreement has been reached. principally because Allen is in Cali fornia, where he has been for more than six months. The petition says the express company was asked to ap j point some person in Allen’s place, but has failed to do so, and unable to find any other method of reaching a I decision as to what revenue is due I the street car company, it has asked ithe court to decide.. The street car company contends that the contract j was forfeited hv -the express com pany when it failed to renew it for a neriod of years commencing Aug. 1, 1917. ALTON SOUTH. PERMIT GRANTED Company to Build Par allel Tracks on For ty-Second Street. j An ordinance grnnting'the Alton Southern Railway perni’ssion to con-, (struct an additional track parallel to1 j the one already on Forty-second street, was passed last nighr at the regular meeting of the City Council. The bill has been up for the consideration of the aldermen for several months, but no definite action was taken until last night. The system is carrying j i freight only over the lines through! East St. Louis at present. COUNTRY CLUB E L E C TS NEW DIRECTORS The stockholders of the St. Clair I Country Club, at a meeting held Mon day evening elected three directors— Messrs. E. C.

Four suits of clothes, two overcoats, two pieces of dress goods, one piece of silk and two suit cases ware reported stolen. HUNS ARE RESISTING VIOLENTLY Capture of Advanced Positions on Present Line WJ11 Necessitate Boche Retirement to Railway Lines. TROOPS PRESS HUNS AT AIRE Greatest Gun in the! World Is Bombarding German Positions on Meuse—Holding Key stone Positions. By FRED S. FERGUSON (United Pres* Staff Correspondent.) With the American Armies in France, Oct. 29.—While the Mezieres Longuyon railway is under fire of the American long-range guns, the Ger mans are putting up their bitterest struggle east of the Meuse. The Belleu wood positions in that region are now the keystone of the entire west front. If the Americans capture these heights they -will have a clean sweep across the valley to the Mezieres-Sedan-Longuyon railway and the enemy will be forced to retire be hind that line. Smashing of these height positions and an advance across the valley the comparatively short distance to Mont medy, 25 miles directly north of Ver dun, would be equal in importance to the longer advance to Mezieres, 28 miles northwest of Montmedy. Belleu wood, south of Wavrille, three-quarters of a mile, southwest of Damvillers, which has been the scene of violent fighting for days, is now held by the Americans, though they must still take the heights on either side. The wood was first taken by storm, then lost as the result of a boche counter-attack with heavy reinforce ments. The fighting swayed back and forth until the wood was restored. This is an example of the resist ance the Germans are putting up all along the important ridges which are bounded on the west by the big bend in the Meuse in the region of Brieulles. In addition to giving the Americans command of the valley stretching to Montmedy, capture of these heights will result in flanking the Briey iron fields and bringing the roads from tbat\egion under our artillery fire. Should the enemy be forced back of Montmody and Longuyon, the entire line to the westward, in the Aisne region, would necessarily t>e compelled to recede, bringing historic Sedan, scene of the decisive battle of the Franeo-Prussian war, ten miles sorth east of Mezieres again into the bat tle area. While the Americans are gnawing away east of the Meuse they are ex erting equal pressure along the heights of the Aire Valley beyond Grandpre. Here the French on the left are play- ing a most important role, pushing on beyond Vouziers and starting forma tion of a salient with the American i left as a peak. The Germans, how' ever,. are protected in this movement by a continuation of the heights, over which the Americans must fight by The weather is greatly improved and there is increasing activity every where. Heavy German artillery fire on the front of the American second army (east of Verdun) is revealingi the enemy’s uneasiness regarding the safety of the Briey iron fields just as) it is their desperation to hold the! Meuse line. Efficiency of the Briey district will also be afTected by the big gun bombardment of the Longuyon railway, this being the direct line over which the product is hauled back. The guns which are firing on the Montmedy Longuyon railway are shooting 25 miles. (This shows the guns are emplaced from five to ten miles behind the j American lines, as the battle front is j about 15 to 20 miles from this line.) They are much bigger caliber than; the boche guns which fired on Paris. (The German guns were 9-inch. The:; American guns, it has been an nounced, are 18-inch.) The big guns made a great hit with the French, who first served them in the St. Quentin and Laon regions. The latter point was completely smashed by them, as were all the enemy rail ways leading from that town. Guns of almost similar caliber next appeared at the St. Mihlel salient, where they fired on the Metz region. (Continued on pace six)

SURRENDER AUSTRIAN NOTE ACCEPTS TERMS By ED L. KERN (United Press Staff Correspondent.) London, Oct. 29.—The Austrian note to President Wilson is tantamount to surrender, in the opinion today of well informed authorities and the press of London. The Express says it is informed from authoritative sources that the allied conference at Paris soon will j present to Germany the terms of an armistice, which, it is believed, will include the occupation of Metz, the Krupp arsenal at Essen and other fortresses of the enemy. It is believed in diplomatic circles that the publication of the allied nrmistice terms will lead to hoisting of the white flag of surrender by the enemy forces. 5. R. O. LIMITED TO 20 PERSONS Further Health Ruling Contained in New Or dinance. Not more than twenty persons rid ing on any East St. Louis Suburban! street ear will be allowed to stand j in the aisles, according to an ordi nance passed hy the City Council last night. The ordinance provides for a i penalty to be assessed against the j company of not less than $25 nor more than $100 for each offense. The ordi- j nance is now in effect and will con-1 tinue to be until the epidemic of in-j fluenza has been stamped out. Since the issuance of an order to police to prevent the crowding of cars, little trouble has been experi enced in keeping the condition normal. Additional cars have been placed in commission, especially in the evening hours, and the trans-Mississippi traffic! has been cared for very efficiently. The new ordinance is simply an ad-' dition to the rules already adopted! to hasten the end of influenza here! and will be strictly obeyed. The ordinance will be effective only during the epidemic fight. REPUBLICANS TO KEEP OPPONENTS IN WASHINGTON Democratic Intentions to Recess Until Nov. 12 Blocked. By L. C. MARTIN (United I’ress Staff Correspondent.) Washington, Oct. 29 Directing their congressional campaign from the floor of the Senate, Republicans today prepared for another attack on President Wilson Thursday, when the Senate ‘meets again. They forced abandonment of the plan to recess un til Nov. 12, their avowed purpose be ing to keep Congress in Washington so that any Democratic political move* may be discussed. There Is no thought of transacting any hut political business between now and next Tuesday, when the election occurs. The session Thursday Is to be giv en over to speeches of Senator Wat son. Indiana, and other Republicans with whatever Democratic replies they ovol'o The projected election recess may begin Thursday, unless Republicans decide to keen the Senate meeting un til the end of the week. Discussion of the Hughes aircraft report^ Is expected. Senator Watson isked, late yesterday, during the de bate, whether Democratic mc.mbers of rhe Senate Military AfTairs Committee :ould tell him what had become of the report. Senator Smith, Georgia, the an'y member present, said he knew Dnly that the report had been submlt :ed to Attorney General Gregory. Wat mn wanted to know, he said later, whether the report Is heln- held up jntll after-the election. A number of Republican Senators lave cancelled speaking engagements n order to be on hand when the Senate reconvenes. If any effort is nade to force a recess before the Re lublicans want It they will raise the >olnt of no quorum, which would pre rent adoption of a recess resolution. It vaa the threat of this action which orced House and Senate leaders to orego their plan to recess Monday or i oday until November 12.

HEADQUARTERS AT DUSSELDORF Allies Continue A d vance Despite Fresh Divisions and Doubled Resistance Ameri cans Locked on Meuse. Hungary has revolted and set up an^independent state, in con junction with the Czechs and Jugo-Slavs. The Montenegrins aided by Al banian soldiers have started a revolution, seizing Cettinje, capi tal of Montenegro and Scutari, principal city of Northern Al bania. The German Socalist press and members of the Reichstag con tinue to demand abdication of the Kaiser. German newspapers declare the German armies will retire behind the Rhine and that prep arations are under way to estab lish headquarters in Dusseldorf. Civilians are fleeing from the lower Rhine provinces. The Austrian lines have been broken on the Piave front, where the Italians and British are across the river on an unbroken line of 30 miles. The Americans are locked with the Germans in a desperate bat tle along the important heights on both sides of the Meuse. American long range guns are bombarding the Meziers-Sedan Montmedy-Longuyon railway, 10 or 20 miles behind the German lines. The French have advanced across the Lys on a seven mile front, reaching the railway be tween Deynze and Waereghem. They have also improved their positions between the Oise and the Serre and along the Aisne. The remainder of the west front is comparatively quiet. In the Balkans the Italians have occupied Alesso, 20 miles southeast of Scutari. The Serbs have captured Kragujevatz, 52 miles southeast of Belgrade jn addition to occupying Jagodim*, Colmines, Gewje, Ravanareka and Bfcspotovace. The British in Mesopotamia have captured Kurkuk and are driving the Turks toward Altun kopri, 20 miles to the northwest. Along the Tigris they have driven the Turks northward 12 miles, occupying positions three miles south of Kalaat Shergat, only fifty miles south of the great base of Mosul. Allies Break Thru Front on Piave BULLETIN. (By United Press.) Rome. Oct. 29.—Italian and British troops continuing their offensive in the Piave region have broken through the Austrian lines on a wide front,, the Italian War Office announced today.

U. S. FOOD ADMINISTRATOR FOR §T. CLAIR COUNTY. PHYSICIANS TOLD INFLUENZA BAN MAY NOT BE LIFTED IN NEXT THIRTY DAYS State Authorities Try ing to Conquer Spread of Epidemic by Use of Vaccine. DOCTORS TOLD HOW TO USE IT Opinions as to Lifting Ban Drawn from Ex perience of Epidemic in 1889-90. At least a month will pass before the present influenza epidemic subsides, is the belief of state health authori ties. The opinion is expressed in a letter sent out to all physicians in the state by the Illinois influenza commission, of which Dr. C. St. Clair Drake is a member. The commis sion bases its belief on the epidemic of 1889-90. "If thef history of 1889-93 and that of the epidemic in the east are cri teria, this epidemic will require at least a month to subside, influenza will be somewhat prevalent all win ter and the death rate from pneu monia will not become normal for several months.” the letter says. Physicians throughout the state were advised today as to the use of the vaccine that is being sent out by the influenza commission. A letter sent to the doctors fol 'ows: “In order that everything possible may be done to limit the spread of in fluenza and to prevent dangerous complicating infections, arrangements have been made for the preparation on a large scale of vaccine for pre ventive purposes. The undertaking is financed by a committee of public spirited citizens and the preparation of the vaccine has been ntaced in thoroughly competent hands The vaccine will be disirihuted free of charge for general use in the same manner as di'’lithe"la antitovfu an* typhoid vaccines are dHt’ibnted.

DRUGGISTS! PLEASE NOTE VICK’S VAPORUB OVERSOLD DUE TO PRESENT EPIDEMIC Tremendous Demand Last Few Days Has Wiped Out Excels Stocks That We Had Estimated Would Last Until Next Jan uary. Last Week’s Orders Called For One and Three Quarter Million Jars—Today’s Orders Alone Amount to 932,459 Jars. Big Shipments Are En Route to Jobbers. Until These Arrive Thire May Be a Temporary Shortage. All Deals Post poned—Buy in Small Lots. RETAILERS CAN GET IM MEDIATE SHIPMENTS BY PARCEL POST This advertisement is ■written on Monday, October 21st. It is directed to the attention of all distributors of Vick’s VapoRub, both wholesale and retail. In an emergency such as the present epidemic—our duty—and your duty—is to distribute VapoRub in the Quickest possible manner to those sec tions stricken by Influenza. We, there fore, call your careful attention to the following: DANUtit OF SHORTAGE IF SUPPLY IS NOT CONSERVED On October 1st we had on hand, at our factory and in twenty warehouses scattered over the country, sufficient VapoRub to last us, we thought, until January 1st, allowing for a 50 per cent increase over last year’s sales, and not counting our daily output. This big excess stock had been accumulated during the summer months. Then this epidemic of Spanish In fluenza hit us—and in the last 10 days this stock has vanished. At first we thought this tremendous demand would last only a few days, but the orders have run: Wed., Oct. 16—18,504 Doz. Thur., Oct. 17—25,323 Doz. Fri., Oct. 18—39,256 Doz. Sat., Oct. 19—45,833 Doz. Mon., Oct. 21—77,705 Doz. Up to Saturday, October 19th, we have actually shipped for this month $400,284.10, or over two million Jars of VapoRub. THE PROBLEM NOW IS TO DIS TRIBUTE VAPORUB QUICKLY Most of this tremendous quantity is still en route to the jobbers, but freight and express are both con gested nowadays, and it may be some time before this supply reaches the jobbers. In the meantime, therefore, it is necessary that we distribute, as widely as possible, the stock that we are manufacturing daily, together with that now on the jobbers’ and retailers' shelves in order that if may get to the Influenza districts quickly. Our normal output is about. 4,000 dozen per day. We are putting on a night shift, but it will be a little while before that is producing. WHAT we ask the wholesale DRUGGIST TO DO Last "Saturday we notified all of our Jobbers, by Special Delivery, as fol lows 1st—Deals and quantity shipments of all kinds are cancelled. Fill no quantity orders of any kind, whether taken by our salesmen or by your own. Sell in small lots only. 2nd—Order from us in as small quantities as possible. If you are out we will try to ship a limited amount by Parcel Post or express, and pay the charges ourselves. 3rd—In order'to make distribution still quicker, we will ship direct to your retail custonfers quantities not more than three (3) dozen 30c size at any one shipment. 4th—We are now out of the 60c size and will be for the next Id days. WHAT WE ASK THE RETAIL DRUG GIST TO DO Buy in as small quantities as pos sible. If you have any quantity orders, given the jobber’s salesmen or given to our salesmen, don’t bother about them—no need to write us—it is absolutely impossible to fill these orders at this time. If the jobbers in your territory are out of Vick's Vapo Rub, we will ship you by Parcel Post, prepaid, quantities not more than three (3) dozen 30c size in any one order. Naturally, we can’t open ac counts at this time, so your check or money order for this amount must ac company order. Don’t write us stat ing to ship thru your jobber, as we then have to wait until we write this jobber and get his O. K. If you wish the goods to come thru your jobber, have him order them for you. SNOWED UNDER WITH COR RESPONDENCE Our force has already been "shot to pieces”—twenty-four of our men are wearing Uncle Sam’s khaki—and this recent rush has simply buried us. All our sales force has been called in to help in the office and factory. We just mention this so you won’t hold it against us if your wires and letters aren’t answered promptly. SPECIAL BOOKLETS ON SPANISH 1 INFLUENZA We will send, on request, to any retail druggist, 100 or more little booklets, just issued, on Spanish in fluenza, giving the latest information about this disease—its history, the symptoms—the treatment, and partic ularly the use of Vick’s VapoRub as an external application to supplement the physician’s treatment. NEW WAYS TO USE VAPORUB In addition to the usual method of using VapoRub—that is, applied over the throat and chest and covered with hot flannel cloths—our customers are writing us daily telling of their suc cess in using VapoRub in other ways, particularly as a preventive. They melt a little in a spoon and inhale the vapors arising, or melt it in a benzoin steam kettle. Where the steam kett^^s,not available, VapoRub can be used in ^n ordinary tea-kettle. Fill the tea-kettle half full of boiling water, put in half a teaspoon of Vapo Rub from time to time—keep the ket-: tie juBt slowly boiling and inhale the steam arising. According to a Bulletin just issued by the Public Health Service, Dr. Stiles, of this Service, recommends that the nose be kept greased as a preventive measure against the In fluenza germs. For this purpose Vapo Rub is excellent. THE VICK CHEMICAL COMPANY GreenSboto, N. C.

"Contrast with this the position of Abraham Lincoln. In the darkest days of the civil war Lincoln declined out right to make any party apfieal or to apply any party test or any test save that of loyalty in the prosecution of the war and loyalty to the union and to Liberty. "In March. 1863. he advocated send i ing to congress only ‘unconditional surrender supporters of the war,’ mak ing no reference to any party; and in June of that year, in answer to some correspondents who signed themselves Itemocrats,’ he expressed his regrets as they had not called themselves 'American citizens,’ saying, ‘in this time of national peril I would have preferred to meet you upon a level one step higher than any part., plat form,’ and in August, in the only po litical letter he wrote that year, he appealed to ‘all those who maintain unconditional devotion to the union,' and in this appeal he explicitly in cluded his own political friends with those of his political enemies ’whom no partisan malice or partisan hope can make false to the nation’s life.’ “He thus explicitly based his ap peal to pro-war men, without asking about their attitude towards himself. Again and again he appealed to ‘all loyal men’ and to ‘all friends of union and liberty,’ and in 1864 he accepted his nomination as coming from ‘un conditional union men.’ "Lincoln made no party test. He appealed to all loyal men of all par ties. He asked that the test of fit ness for congress be, not adherence to his personal administration, hut unconditional support of the war. “Mr. Wilson applies the most rigid party test. He explicitly repudiates loyalty to the war as a test. He de mands the success of the Democratic party, and asks the defeat of all pro-war men if they have been anti administration. He asks for the de feat of pro-war Republicans He does not ask for the defeat of antiwar Dem ocrats. “On the contrary, he supports such men if. although* antiwar, they are pro administration. He does not ask for loyalty to the nation. He asks only for support of himself. "There is not the slightest sugges tion that he disapproves of disloyalty to the nation. 1 do not doubt that he does feel some disapproval of such disloyalty: but apparently this feeling on his part is so tepid that it slips from his mind when he contemplates what he regards as the far greater sin of failure in adherence to himself. “Now, what does Mr. Wilson mean when he speaks of these leaders as being, although ‘pro-war’ yet. ‘anti administration’? He means that when the war department was administered with utter inefficiency they investi gated the matter and insisted upon efficiency. He means that when they found that nothing effective was being done in shipbuilding they insisted that the work be speeded up. He means that when they found that $600,000,000 had been spent for airplanes and yet that not an airplane had reached our soldiers at the front they insisted that our soldiers should get the airplanes for which the people had paid. “Mr. Wilson regards it as ‘anti administration’ to demand that our gallant men at the front receive the guns and auto rifles and tanks and airplanes and shoes and clothing for which congress has appropriated so many billions of dollars. The entire offense of the Republican’ leaders in Mr. Wilson’s eyes is that they have demanded that inefficiency, waste and extravagance be remedied. Such a de mand he treats as ‘anti-administra tion.’ “In other words, the attitude which patriotic people regarded as pro United States he regards as anti administration. "t hold, on the contrary, that these Republican leaders have in a great crisis shown complete Indifference to party and complete devotion to t£a union. They have disinterestedly snp ported Mr. Wilson in everything he did that was right and fearlesly op* posed him where he was wrong. "Over half the Democratic leaders whom he is now supporting opposed j him when he was right and supported I him when he was wrong. He urges that the people return to congress the men who are antiwar, but who shielded the failures of the adminis tration. He urges that the people de feat for congress the men who were pro war, but who sought to remedy the failures of the administration. -HA puts loyalty to the nation second, and adherence to his personal leadership tirst. “The Republican leaders he assails have put loyalty to the nation ahead of all other considerations and have conditioned their support of every ex ecutive official solely upon the efficl ency with which that official serves i the nation. I “And I ask you, consider the thing more, you Republicans and Inde i pendents and you Democrats who de cline to put cringing subservience to any man ahead of the republic. In deed,' 1 appeal most of all to the high minded and patriotic Democrats whose boys are over in the army side by side with the boys of their Republican neighbors, and who do not wish to see these loyal neighbors treated as enemies of the republic. "President Wilson says that Repuhi., licans are not good enough to serve the republican in congress at this time. But they are good enough tq die for the republic in the army and navy. They are good enough to pay taxes and subscribe to the loan. We have sent our sons and brothers to spill their blood like water overseas under the flag we have given our strength and our money without stinr* to serve the country at home, to float th? loans, to back up the war activi ties of every kind; and now we are told that the blood of our sons, and the money saved gt the expense of. our wives and little children, do not entitle us to any word in saying how the war is to be waged or what are the terms on which peace Is to be made, or what shall be our places after the war. "The president says that this Is his war, not the people's war, and that the half of the people who have been most resolute in favor of the firm and efficient prosecution of the war are hereafter to be excluded from all share of its management and from all say so as to the peace which is to crown and justify it. “Mr. Henry Ford has announced that he does not believe in patriotism, that he thinks the flag Is silly and does not believe in it, and that when this war is over he will pull down the flag and never hoist it again. The son of this multi-millionaire stays at home while hundreds of thousands of men of small means leave their wives and children and go to the war. But Mr. Wilson is supporting Mr. Ford for the Senate. "The president’s personal Organ, the World, itself says that the present Democratic congress is a ’slacker congress.’ And the president asks the voters to keep these slackers in con gress provided only that these slack ers follow him with abjpct alacrity in whichever new direction he may momentarily lead. “And finally, let our people remem ber that the incoming congress will deal with the vital questions of recon struction after the war. The president proposes to let these questions be dealt with by those who control what his personal organ calls the preset^ slack er congress. He proposes to put- the reconstruction of the country in the hands of these slackers under the guidance of such men as Mr. Kitchin. the present leader of the house and incidentally one of the anti-war lead ers of the house. “Surely the country will feel that this work of reconstruction ought to be entrusted to other hands and that these hands shall be those of the Re publican leaders whose vision is for the future and who yet possess prac tical ability to work for the best in terests of the present.” For ladles* tailoring see Buck The Tailor, 322 Broadway.

FATE OF GERMANY IS IN CONFERENCE AT VERSAILLES Whether Dictated Peace Is to Be Grant ed Is Big Question. By ROBERT J. BEN’DER (United Press Staff Correspondent.) Washington, Oct. 29.—Decision which will determine whether Ger many is to accept a dictated peace or fight to the bitter end will come out of the great Versailles conference i opening its sessions today, i It may be stated authoritatively that President Wilson believes his program for armistice terms will be accepted by the conference. It j may be implied then that the confer ence will tell' the German he must leave his heavy artillery where it stands on all fronts, though he may take home his sidearms; he must evacuate all occupied territory, includ ing Russia and Roumania; he must submit to allied control of German seacraft and important munition plants for the time at least, and he must expect the allies to occupy strategic points in Germany, including strongholds in AJsace-Lorraine, so that there will be no double dealing at the peace table. The same terms will apply to the armistice with Austria-Hungary, j President Wilson is expected to for ward immediately the Austrian appeal for peace to the Versailles conference i so that the whole question of terms for Germany, Austria and Turkey may be discussed at the same time. Acceptance by the Teuton powers of these terms will mean an end to hostilities. The President is represented today by men in his confidence as believing the Germans will knuckle now to a peace dictated by the allies. The War Department, however, is proceeding with the war orders and war preparations as though no peace talk wet-e in the air. The draft ma chinery is being hurried and every possible effort is being made to keep munitions and other industries at full pitch. Secretary of War Baker de clared his full sympathy with the idea that war work must go cn without hindrance. Austria-Hungary is virtually out of the war, now leaving Germany to fight it out alone, according to the almost unanimous view in diplomatic circles here today. Emperor Charles in his latest note, accepting President Wilsons condition of peace is struggling to save his crown. He agrees to give up the ter ritory of the Czecho-Slovaks, the Jugo slavs, the Poles, the Rumanians and other small nationalistic groups which he has'held in subjection, by his ac ceptance of President Wilson’s terms, i Austria wants peace and intends to desert Germany if the allies will let her. This is the interpretation diplo mats place on her appeal for an im mediate armistice “without awaiting the result of other negotiations.” The official text had not reached the Swedish legation this morning, but its arrival was expected momentarily. Whether Charles can now save Aus tria-Hungary for his empire is doubt ful. Semi-official statements here today reported disorder and virtual revolu tion in Hungary. Magyar leaders are I rousing their people to break from Vienna and gain the freedom from the Hapsburgs which they tried to get in 1848 w-hen Austrian arms forced them 1 back into the empire. Diplomats expect little to be left of Austria except the German section around Vienna. They have no sym pathy for the Magyars, who have been as cruel in their treatment of subject peoples as the Germans. They do see, j however, a chance to isolate the Mag j vars and the German Austrians and thus weaken them and make the task of protecting the weaker peoples of Central Europe easier. -Save at the Southern Playing Duckboard. Do you know what duckboard is! It’s a kind of a game first played in a primitive and mild sort of fashion by Rocky mountain goats and since modernized ami made difficult by the I American army. The uppnrutus cT which one plays duckboard is a mixed breed contrivance, by Washboard out of Corduroy Road, to use the racing I vernacular. It is made up of narrow, slippery strips of rounded wood laid crosswise about two indies opart, and is supposed to keep one's feet out of the mud. It does! While playing duck hoard one's feet are usually in the air. It is called duckboard. I suppose, be cause of some silly belief that a duck could walk it without falling. Even airplanes flying at 1 height of -less than 5,000 feet have been seen to wig gle and dip drunkenly while passing above trench lines floored with duck boards. And when it is laid upon the surface of the earth and there are no handy trench walls to help out—well, it’s lucky for Charley Chaplin that the wide world didn't see me operate. Nothing could ever again he funny to i a man who saw me play duckboard out 1 there in the comparative open of that wood!—William Stevens McNutt, In j Collier’s Weekly. j t Soldier’s Appreciation. 1 i Recently a woman well known in America, who has devoted all her time to relief work since the war be gan, was visiting a hospital. The com manding officer had sent a military j car for her. She entered the car Just as an ambulance filled with wounded I i jiassed hy. As she noticed the thin pale faces, tears came into her eyes The soldier-chauffeur asked If shf was ill. “No." she said, “these are tears of gratitude and pride.” i “Madame.” replied the boy. simply “if I thought that my being a soldier was worthy of but one of your tears I should feel that I had not lived ir vain.”—Red Cross Magazine Illinois Governor Says Republicans Should be Proud of Their War Record (Continuea irom rage Oue. the conduct of which they have had little or nothing to say. !>Does any one at Washington be lieve that the Middle West should have arisen with greater ardor or eft fectiveness if these states had been governed by the Democratic party? Does any one in Washington believe for a moment that, if we had been suc cessful in 1916, and war had come, the Democrats would have rallied to the support of the government of Hughes as we have to the government of Wil son? The failure of the president, even though his party is in full control of all branches of the government, to hold his party leaders in line upon i measures which he himself has said were essential for the successful con duct of the war, is full proof of what the attitude of Democratic leaders would have been if they, not we, had been in the minority. I am speaking now only of Democratic leaders, and not of the rank and file of the party. The rank and file of both great parties have been equally patriotic and equally loyal in this war. I Kaiser and Lodge. I "Senator Henry Cabot Lodge has been the foremost spokesman for the Republican party in the congress of the United States. Would the kaiser and the crcwn prince think that if Lodge’s party were to control congress an easier peace would be before them? Do you think that the triumph of the party of Roosevelt, Taft, and Root, would give any assurance to the Hohenzollems of a less vigorous prose cution of the war? “When the selective service law was in doubt, a law which the president solemnly declared essential to our suc cess, it w(b Republican leadership and Republican votes which saved that i measure in the house of representa j tives. Who can tell at what moment 1 the president will need the support of the Republicans in congress, to j prevent a premature and disastrous peace? We of Illinois have whole heartedly supported the president in the prosecution of the war. We mean to do so until peace, which will be a peace not only for ourselves but for our children, too, shall come. This j being our purpose, we are resolved to send to congress those in whom we have the fullest confidence to stand by the government until this result is achieved. Praise for McCormick. I "Medill McCormick stands at the head of the Republican ticket In Illi nois. He represents the will of Illi nois to win in this great war. He is fully alive to the necessity of reorgan izing the government at Washington upon a business basis, with a budget system, if we are to meet after the war our heavy financial burdens. He has a clear vision of the economic, industrial, and social needs of our people, and is qualified to speak for Illinois in the Senate of the United States, both in war and In peace. And Medill McCormick is typical of the Republican ticket as a whole.” Americans in Bitter Fight at Belleau Wood (Continued from Dage One.) Description of these guns Is pro hibited for military reasons, aside from the fact that they are trans ported by railway. The guns are of such size that the French despaired of the Americans ever getting them to the front. All the accompanying equipment is entirely American. The monsters were brought over lashed to the decks of ships. The bombardment of the Mezieres Sedan-Longuyon railway is the most serious develapment the hoche has yet faced, as this line serves for switching purposes for troops from east to west and is also the main line j for supplies. It is the stem of the i bottle-neck which the hoche must keep open. Breaking of the line means breaking of the connection between j the German armies to the east and I west, except by an almost impossible circuitous route. The coYnmander of the hig guns is the biggest peace spokesman on the west front. He ip a monarch when it comes to consideration of his pets. In one instance when he was notified that the French intended to move his monsters at a certain hour he drove his American engines and engineers out on the line regardless of other traffic, which was immediately cleared to permit him to pass. All questions of whether the guns could pass through certain tunnels and whose jurisdiction they would come under were swept aside by the eonynander with the statement that he had to go through the tunnels and was not look ing for proper jurisdiction but targets. The cars of the gun carry complete equipment, down to food and clothing, as well as the giant shells which are hurled over the hills at the boche. i Paris Official Paris, Oct. 29.—"In the Oise region artillery fighting was lively, especially opposite Grand Verly,” the official communique said. "We overcame enemy resistance during the night ahd reached closer to Grand Verly. We took the hospital and barracks in the neighborhood of the station and some fortified works. South of the Chateau we passed the Louvry farms. To the right of the Peron River we continued our progress east of Moncau-Le-Neuf. taking forty prisoners. "On the Serre front there was great machine-gun and patrolling activity. We are keeping in contact with the enemy." In olden times, a man had to battle with his own bad habits: now the Legislature comes to his assistance. \t DEATH’S CALENDAR

FIND NEW KIND OF TRIMMING Heads In Water Color Are Effectively Used to Garnish an Attractive Evening Drees. The water color artist has discov ered new fields for conquest, and the bodices of evening .dresses are the canvases used. The old flower motifs have been discarded, according to the official Journal of the National Gar ment Retailers association, and newer things are taking their places. "A certain evening frock's pink bodice," It says, "is ornamented with three little water-colored heads, which are about the size of a half dollar. One Is the head of a giggling school girl, befrllled and berlbboned. Anoth er Is that of a budding “deb." and the third Is of an English 'Johnny,' eye glasses and sleek. “The Interesting point ebont this form of trimming lies in the fact that it is not a design or In the least con ventionalized, but true life sketching very well executed. However, this j makes all the more evident Its harsh, exacting note on the soft' bodice of an evening gown." STYLES IN OUR HEADGEAR Both Large and 8mall Hats, Loaded or Unloaded With Trimming, Fashionable This 8eason. This Is a season of wide diversity of Ideas in millinery. As a very suc cessful and well-known milliner re marked the other day, “Any style that Is becoming Is fashionable this sea son.” You may wear big hats or little j hats or hats of medium size, and they may be of any fabric practical for millinery; and ns for trimming there are models rather elaborately trimmed, j simply trimmed models and hats al- most entirely devoid of trimming. This is indeed welcome news, and woe to the woman who does not have a becoming hat She cannot blame It on the modes of the moment, but i upon her own lack of Judgment or eare In the selection of this most Im portant detail of her wardrobe. REQUISITE HOURS OF SLEEP Acknowledged Fact That Brain Work-, era Need Less Than Those En gaged in Manual Labor. Periodic sleeping Is undeniably an essential to the continuance of life, butj sleep is required more as a means of recuperation from physical weariness than from mental activity, an exchange observes. The best thinkers are the shortest sleepers, and on the other hand the manual laborers require the longest periods of sleep. The classic example cited to prove that the think er does not need ns much sleep as the ordinary man takes Is Thomas A. Edi son, who during the most active years of his life Is said to have slept only four hours a day. It Is not so general ly known that Herbert Spencer, the philosopher. In his later life did not average more than three hours of sleep a day. These Instances should not lend to ill-ndvised efforts to emulate the ex treme examples. One should not at- j tempt to do better thinking by keep- ing longer awake, but the effort should j be madb to do better thinking, which will result In keeping longer aw^ke. For If the body be not fatigued or drugged with poison, sleep comes chief ly from the slowing down of the men tal processes until consciousness lapses. If an adult Is not tired or full of fatigue poisons from physical labor, or If his system Is not otherwise bur- j denerf with poisons from faulty diet or overeating. It Is possible In many Instances to cut down the sleeping period from 20 to 40 per cent of that! commonly indulged I a. i Prussian Guard Long Famous. i The history of the Prussian Guard, cream of Germany’s fighting men, j which was smashed by the headlong j attack of American troops at the Sec- ond Battle of the Marne, dates back to the latter part of the Seventeenth Century, when men believed In the divine rights of kings, and the troops of the guard could be depended on to protect the sacred body of their sov ereign when all other supporters fell away. The Prussian Guard was once a company of archers, known as the Trabant Guards. It was transformed Into a real fighting force by Frederick William I. Drill with him was a ruling passion and he lavished much atten- j tion on his gnard; scouring Europe for giants, as no man under six feet in height coold enter his pet regiment.
