Cannot Bind Next Convention.

Both Democrats and Republicans in the
House put fun credence in The Tribune 5
dispatches that President Wilson's sup
porters will brush aside the single term
plank. They assert that it is impossible
for one convention TO bind a succeeding
convention and that the situation viii be
easily met three years hence by simply
adopting the party platform before the
candidate is nominated and emitting from
that platform the 1912 declaration.
1T is perfectly logical to assume" said
a Democratic leader Of the House, that
Mr.. Wilson will be the nominee. If his
administration is a success nothing can
prevent his nomination. the party would
call him and demand his acceptance of
the trust. If the administration is not a
success there is unlikely 10 be scramble
for the nomination, for il would be prac-
tically valueless."
Republicans accepted as a matter OF
course that the single term plank would
be sdestepped at the next Democratic
convention, but they wondered what
Bryan would think Of IT,"
Il imagine Mr.. Bryan's views might lie
interesting" said Representative Kahn.
LAS to the single term plank, 1t may be
disposed of easily when the next conven-
ton meets and decides that it wants four
more years of Wilson"
Mr.. Sloan, OF Nebraska, observed that
the prospect doesn't look very bright for
distinguished gentleman Of my state
and Representative Moore, OF Pennsyl-
vania. said that Republicans were fully
convinced that their Democratic opponent
in 1916 would be the present occupant OF

DEPENDS on Wilson's Record.

although there are others whom l
would like to see in the Presidents chalr'
said Senator Ashurst, one OF the most
progressive members Of the Senate ma
ioritv, IF President Wilson'S record con-
tinues TO be as good as it is now he VIII
be nominated by reclamation"
1T seems to me- said Senator Pom
creme. that the Presidents view Of the
single term is correct, although l nave
not weighed the matter carefully
Other prominent Democrats expressed
the same opinion. They did not appear
to regard it as matter Of much mo-
ment whether the Democratic platform
had anything to say about the Presidential
term or not 1t was accepted al foregone
conclusion that the President was greater
than his party. and that he would yield
to the party demand that he run again.
1t is not improbable that the single
term idea will be dropped altogether, and
that. the political exigency having passed
the next Democratic National Convention
will be its own master and will ignore
the subject.
Whether the Democrats will be able TO
drop the idea without interference Is an
other question. II is quite probable that
Senator Works, author Of the single
term resolution. and others on the Re-
publican side will keep the question alive
and haunt the Baltimore platform in the
faces of the Democrats. who are all too
willing to overlook the single term plank.

u,rom The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington. Jan. 4-Democratic lead
ers in Congress with almost one accord
approved to-day the stand President Will
son is reported TO have taken that the
single-term plank OF the Baltimore plat
form cannot be construed as preventing
his denomination in 1916
This will wither whatever hope Secre-
tary Bryan might have had OF stepping
into the Presidents place when the four
year term OF the present administration
comes to an end. but Mr.. Bryan's ad-
helents. If they share this hope, appeared
to-day 10 be reluctant to find fault with
the Presidents Interpretation OF the plat
form. as presented in The Tribune's dis
patches.
II became evident to-day that the Pres
ident had not reached conclusion In the
matter without careful consideration and
that the possibility of his denomination
had been contemplated soon after he was
elected. one very prominent Democratic
leader said to-day that he had advised the
President soon after he had gone TO the
White House to avoid discussion of the
single term policy and not to commit
himself on the subject, on the GROUND
that IT would be not only ineXpedient'
but that party necessity might require MS
running for a second term.
The unanimity of opinion among the
Democrats with which the announcement
OF the Presidents Interpretation OF the
platform was received justified the wis
dom of this suggestion. Democratic lead
ers were apparently not much concerned
with the Interpretation of the Baltimore
platform. They took the view generaiiy
that If the President continued his RECORD
of achievement he would be nominated
whether he wished 1t or not and that II
would he futile TO invoke the terms OF

NOT YET READY
England Willing to Accept Peac,
Proposals at the Proper Time.

Washington, Oct. IA desire on
the part of the British officials to be
relieved of responsibility for declin-
ing to entertain proposals looking to
the restoration of peace in Europe is
believed by the state department
heads to be the explanation of dis
patches from London saying Great
Britain will be glad at the proper mo-
ment to accept the good offices of the
United States to that end.
British officials as well as the pub
lie in England have taken notice OF
the many appeals for peace proposals
that have been directed to President
Wilson from various sources in the
United States. AS understood here,
the British officials are keenly APP
preciative of the correctness Of the
motives Of the people and are reluc-
tant to be placed in the position OF
rejecting any overtures. AT the
same time, while officials believe the
British government is quite willing
to have 1t unofficially known that al
the proper time it will welcome peace
overtures, they think that time, as
indicated recently by Sir Edward
Grey, will not arrive until the con
f1ict has been so d%ecisively settled
that there is no longer a possibility
of the same issues arising again.

PITILESS WARFARE
RED CROSS SERVICE is MADE.
QUATE - ATTENDANTS
SHOT DOWN.

London. Oct. IA correspondent
Of the Chronicle, who has just re-
turned to Dion, after a visit to the
eastern frontier Of France, gives a
vivid description of the pitilessness
of the fighting in that region. 1t has
been constant for six weeks, but has
been overshadowed by the conflict in
the western part. He quotes a
French soldier who had come out of
the trenches at Luneville as saying:
1T is absurd to talk of Red Cross
work. 1t has not existed, as far as
many of these fights are concerned.
How could it? A few stretchers
came with US on some of our expedi-
lions, but their attendants were shot
down, and after that the wounded
just lay where they fell or crawled
away into the shelter of the woods.
Those of us who were unhurt were
not allowed to attend to our wounded
comrades. 1t was against orders.
We have to go on regardless of our
losses.
MY own best comrade was struck
down by my side. I heard his cry
and saw him lying there. My heart
wept to leave him. He wanted me
to take his money, but I just kissed
his hand and went on. I suppose he
died, for / could not find him when
we retreated.
Another French soldier lay on
the edge of a wood fifteen kilometers

YOUNG INDIAN
Gets a Young White Man Into Truu.
BILE at Flandreau.

An Oneida Indian bearing the
unique name of Alpheus Christjohu,
has been the central figure in several
sensations here during the last few
days, and incidentally earned for
himself a term in Jail. He induced
a young nan recently from Illinois
to procure liquor for him i'm viola
ton of the law. The young man
finally refused to procure additional
supplies of liquor for him, and then
in revenge the Indian reported him
as a "~bootlegger." Both were ar
rested. The young man entered a
plea of guilty and was given a light
sentence because he was not aware
that it was a crime to procure liquor
for an Indian. The Indian was re-
quired to work fifteen days on the
public streets and to pay a fine of
$25.

from Luneville. When he recovered
consciousness he saw there were only
dead and dying men around him.
He remained for two DAYS, unable to
move his shattered limbs. and cried
out for death to relieve him of his
agony. AT night he was numbed by
cold; in the day thirst tortured him
to the point of madness. Faint cries
and groans came TO his ears across
the field. 1t was on the morning of
the third day that French peasants
came to rescue those who still re-
NAMED alive,

tirements. Upon each occasion men

weeks and more the dead bodies of
Germans and Frenchmen have lain

fled from their villages and the sol
diers have their work TO do, so the

Washington dispatch :

Washington dispatch: Astrono-
mers of the naval observatory are OBJ
serving with keen interest the activ-
tiles of deLaven's comet, which is
now visible to the naked eye and
which will remain visible throughout
October. 1t may be seen about 10
O'Clock on clear nights at a point al
most directly below the polestar. AT
that time the comet is low in the
sky. AS the night wanes the comet
rises higher in the heavens and be-
tween 2 a. m. and 4 a. m. it reaches
it's greatest altitude above the hori-
zon. Then is the best time to OBJ
serve the comet.
Dispatches state that an increase of
"a cent per mile in the cost of rail
way mileage books will become effect
i've today. The tariffs proposing an
advance will not be suspended by the
interstate commerce commission, but
may be investigated later while eff
fective. The railway officials gener-
ally have announced that the action
of the roads is based upon the de-
cision of the commission in the S per
cent advance rate case, which held
that passenger fares on railways gen.
orally were inadequate and that the
roads would be justified in increasing
them.
The party of Madison citizens,
with Messrs. Luce and Bell of the
Electric Short Line, who attended
the railroad meeting at Center
schoolhouse in McCook county last
evening, returned to the city about
midnight and Mr.. Luce departed for
his home in Minneapolis by the night
train. The gentlemen report a well
attended and very enthusiastic meet
ing. There is a gap of about four
teen miles in the Center schoolhouse
locality in McCook county which has
not been definitely settled in the mat
ter of stock purchases in the COM
pany and when completed will insure
the line from Madison to Epiphany.
The farmers in attendance at the
meeting last evening were eager to
take hold of the enterprise and Mr..
Bell returned to the locality today to
formally close the negotiations.

RECORD OF THE WAR
SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS COM.
PILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Oct. Special: While
the British and French official an
nouneements indicate satisfaction
with the situation along the battle
front in France and confidence in the
outcome, an unofficial report from
Paris declares that the German right
has been broken and is being pursued
by the allies. This report also de-
clared that the Germans have been
surrounded in the Somme department
and that Perrone had been recap
tured.
The official press bureau at Lon
don, while making no objection to the
publication of these reports, declined
to take any responsibility for the
correctness of them.
The announcements issued late at
night by both French and British of
fcials declared that there had been
no change in the situation, which
they had previously reported as fav-
oring the allied army to some degree.
A narrative from Field Marshal
Sir John French's headquarters, is
sued at London by the official press
bureau, gives the reason for the long
drawn out battle, which has now last
ed nineteen days. The extent of the
country covered" it says, lis so great
as to render slow any efforts to ma
neuver and march around the flank,
and the costly expedient of a frontal
attack against heavily fortified po-
sitions."
This refers to the fiercely contested
operations of the allies left in an en-
deavor to outfank the German right
wing under Gen. Won Kluck. In
these operations French and British,
heavily reinforced, have been engag-
ed for several days, and the encoun-
tiers at times are reported to have
been unprecedented.
In the far east there are signs of
much activity on the part of the Jap
anese, who are engaged in a move
| ment by both land and sea against
the German concession of Kiao Chow
in Shantung province, China. The
| Japanese have occupied the heights
outside of Using Tau, the capital,
overlooking the Germans main line
of defense.
Chinese troops have blown up the
railroad bridge at Tayu-Ho, six miles
west of Wei-Hsien, which also has
been occupied by the Japanese, and
are thus apparently opposing Japa-
nese military operations in Shan
Tung province.
The meager reports of the Russian
campaign against Austria and Ger
many indicate a period of compare
tive calm, while the great armies OF
these nations r getting into posi-
tion for offensive and defensive.
A British cruiser squadron in COM
mand of Rear Admiral Sir Chris
TOPPER Craddock, who recently com
manded the British warships in Mex
lean waters, has arrived at Punta
Arenas, strait of Magellan and is be-
lieved to be on it's way to the Pacific.
The cruiser Emden, which recent
ly captured six British steamers and
sank five of them in the bay of Ben
gal, has added to its laurels by sink
ing four more and capturing a collier.
The Italian government has issued
a warning to Italians who have taken
or intend to take service in the army
of any country at war, that this is a
breach of neutrality and is punish
able by Imprisonment.
Late dispatches declare that the
Germans have begun their attack on
