WILSON RECEPTIVE,
HIS FRIENDS ASSERT
Organization for 1916 Cam:
paign to Extend Throughout
the United States.

The Presidential situation, so far as
the Democratic party is concerned, has
taken on a different aspect since elec-
tion. President Wilson, according to
some OF his closest friends, by no means
is frowning on activity in his behalf
1t is talked openly by those close to
the White House that~the President is
receptive. The election results have
LETT the Democrats in complete control
Of the Government, and the President is
said to consider the situation opportune
for him to seek denomination and re-
election.
Able political lieutenants of the Presi-
dent have bestirred themselves much of
late in shaping up things for 1916 At
one time the President refused to en-
courage Endorsements of himself for
another term by State conventions and
other bodies. But such Endorsements,
1T is stated on good authority, from now
on, VIII not be discouraged but rather
welcomed. A general movement among
Democratic leaders to line up for Will
son and get on the Wilson bandwagon
is predicted as something like to de-
yelop early.
The men who will manage the cam
paign for the President are setting out
to effect great organization for 1916.
This will reach all down the line. AS
far as possible, candidates for COVER
norshops and other important offices
will be named whose running will har-
moniZe with the effort to renominate
and re-elect the President.

KNOWLEDGE TO SAVE
. FARMERS MILLIONS
Assistant Secretary vrooman
Says Departments Informal
ton Makes 1t Possible.

Frmers of the United States could
save from S. 100000 to $I0O00,O00 n day if
they were able to apply the agricultural
information in the hands of the De-
nartment of Agriculture, according to
the declaration of Assistant Secretary
OF Agriculture Vrooman, at the conven-
tion of the Association of American
Agricultural Colleges and Experiment
Stations here today.
Mr.. Erooman said that this saving
would be effected by increasing the crop
acreage of American farms up to the
limit of their possibilities. he expressed
confidence that great results would be
accompli shed through the adminiStra-
ton of the Smith, Lever act, which pro-
vides for cooperative extension work
on the part of the State and Federal
Governments.
Benjamin Ide Wheeler. president Of
the University of California, told the
delegates that the farms were tagging
behind in utilization of the Joys and
comforts of modern civilization. He
expected great results from the work of
county advisers. who would work with
the man in the field and ''sit on the
fence rail to talk farm problems over
with him"
The morning session Of the convention
today was shortened to permit the dele
gates to go to the white House. This
afternoon the resolutions committee
will go into session preparing a report TO
be submitted tomorrow.

In the eastern theater of war they were
reported to have shown reluctance to

In the French and Belgian campaign
Trey are not opposed to troops with
whom they have any blood ties.
The capture OF Dixmude seems to
slow that the statements so freely made
that the Germans were decreasing their
forces in Belgium are without founda-
ton. As matter of fact, military men
here believe that the Germans, as soon
as they saw IL was impossible to carry
ost their design OF capturing WARSAW,
dispatched troops from that region to
the west, not imagining that the Rus
sian pursuit could be carried out with
the rapidity with which ii has been.

nlents'' In the official Berlin statement

inents TO the seasoned troops who have
been bearing the brunt OF the fighting

young regiments" are said to have at
lacked the allied positions, singing the
national anthem, "Deutchland uber
ADes."
The hope is expressed in London to-
night that the allied lines have fallen
hack at the different places mentioned
in The official reports as part of their
established strategy. 1t has been the
policy Of the British, French, and Bel
gian commanders ever since the battle
las Joined, TO retreat when the only
OtheT alternative was the useless sacri-
ice of life. The German policy, on the
other hand. has been to pour over
whelmiDg masses of men against shell
ire. rife fire. or baYonet. Ii is pointed
out that nowhere il mention made OF a
piercing OF the allied lines and that
consequently il may be assumed that
Ihc front opposed TO the German ad-
vance on Calais and Dunkirk remains
as effective TO check the actual advance
an IL has ever been.
The determination OF the Germans
TO reach these two towns, on the
French coast, however. appears to be
as firm as cvcr. Behind DiXmude is
the direct road to Dunkirk. and if
they can break through here the
allies viii b" compelled to fall back
10 new positions.

Villa Marching Anward
With $1,000 Picked Men

JUAEEZ, Mexico, Nov. 12.--With a
preliminary battle between Carran-
zistas and Villa forces already hav-
ing occurred with sanguinary results.
md General Villa reported here to
be marching on Queretaro with A
force of $4,000 picked veterans, lead
ers OF both sides admit that all signs
point TO yet another revolution being
added to MeXico's already long his
tory OF internecine conflicts.
Fighting, which stopped with night
fall last night at Leon, where car
ranza's forces were routed. was re-
sumcd in desultory fashion between
the pursuing villa troops and the
deeing rear guard of Carranzistas.
With a majority Of the generals OF
the Aguas Calientes peace conference
on his side, General Villa. with few
Of his most trusted lieutenants, has
quietly prepared to lead revolution
which. his friends say, Will end either
IN his trfumphal entry into Mexico
city or his complete elimination from
The Mexican situation.
Consul General Rafael Musquiz,
the Carranza official at Ell Paso. an
nounces through agents that villa
las issued q widespread appeal
throughout the north and west on all
citizens TO fly to arms in his cause.
Ii was considered as significant that
MusquiZ, in declaring "all the south
aud east is loyal to Carranza," In his
raapifesto, made no such claims re-
Earding the north and west.

j. 5. NOT ASKED TO
POLICE REPUBLICS

Secretary Of state Bryan today denied
that the United States had been re-
auested by Great Britain to police South
America to preserve the neutrality Of
the republics.
State Department officials admitted
that Ambassador Spring-Riee had sub
mftted Information that German ships
were using ports in Ecuador and Colom-
bia as bases for supplies and comunica-
ton but that at most this could be taken
only as hint to the United States to
take steps to preserve the neutrality of
South American republics.
The British government, 1t is under
stood, believes that wireless stations in
Ecuador and Colombia furnished infor-
nation to German vessels of the move
ments of British ships before the re-
cent engagement off the Chilian coast
:. 1t will be the policy of the State De-
partment. 1t is said. to keep hands off,
in the neutrality problems Of South
American republics.

Blanket Rate Decisions

The Interstate Commerce Commission
will abandon tho policy of deciding rate
advances in blanket fashion. Hereafter
1t expects, as far as possible, to con-
slider rates individually, and groupings
from various points singly. This will
be done in the Western advanced rate
case.
The commission looks on this manner
of disposing of rate advances or de-
creases as more scientific than the
blanket method. Once the present East
ern advanced rate case is out of the
way. the blanket method will be dis
couraged.
