Demonstrations in German R a k s Frequent and Cheering After Fall of Antwerp Led French to Make Attack in Anticipa- tion of Attack by the Germans.

Berlin, October IS. - (Via The Hague and London. )--AlI signs in dicate change is impending in the struggle in northern France, where for weeks the hostile armies have faced each other in such strongly en- trenched positions that neither has been able to advance except at enor- nous cost. The principal effect of mutual flanking operations has been to extend the battle lines without either side finding weak spot.
 The German army which besieged antwerp now is free and the invading forces have been strengthened other Wise for an assault against some point In the extended battle front. Rigid Be : crecy is preserved as to the point chosen for that movement. Official German bulletins throw no light m the nature of the impending stroke. America Is perhaps better informed concerning that than Is Germany The

The President wrote the letter as an indorsement of all democratic mem bers of Congress in lieu of speeches he said he would like to make in every congressional district. He predicted victory for his party in the elections because "every thoughtful man sees that change of parties just now would set the clock back, not forward" and because "a practical nation is not likely to reject such team, full of the spirit of public service, and sub stitute, in the midst of great tasks, either party upon which deep de- moralization has fallen, or party which has not grown to a stature that would warrant it's assuming the re- sponsibile burdens of state"
 Legislative Programme
 The legislative programme begun dur ing the present Congress was declared by the President to have been begun to destroy private control and set business fiee.' He said that the people of the country had been served by this Con gress as they have never been served before"
 Outlining the work already accom- plished, MT. Wilson mentioned the re- form of the tariff, the passage of the new currency bill, the antitrust bDls and the handling of foreign problems He said he doubted if there has ever been finer exhibition of teamwork or of unhesitating devotion to the fulfillment of party pedges."

 There are no negotiations being car- ried on with the rebel leader. The re- teilion can only be suppressed by force.
