WASHING ION, -. G., April e.
Collective bargaining, Cancellation

first formal public hearing in Wash

sion on Industrial Relations which be
gan Monday, April 6.
This may or may not be the begin

consummation is to be desired.
Certain it is that the strike, the lock-
out and the boycott have been pro-
ductive of TOO much trouble and too
much loss in the past. and that this
loss and trouble has not been con
fined to the participants. The public
has suffered much, and it would ap-
pear as though the public ought to
have something to say as to condi
tions that will bring about change
in methods for settlement.
Provided fair tribunals can be es-

SOCIALISTS ARE
REELECTED
Wieland and Milette are Re-
turned to the City Council
at Recent Elections
SLIGHT VOTE IS CAST
But Little More than 40 Per
Cent Of Registered Voters
Used Franchise

The municipal elections Tuesday
| Aberdeen, all but two of the contests
having been practically settled at the
| primaries. The candidates for clerk
| treasurer and police judge We're elect
ed without opposition, so that the
I only contests We're for councilmen. In
the Third, Fourth and Fifth wards
those on the republican ticket had an
easy walk away with the socialist can
! didates, but in the First, second and
Sixth wards that party displayed
strength, and in the two latter elect
ed their men.
In the First ward, f. C. Mcknight
nominee of the primaries, won ovey
Berdine, caucus nominee, by 20 votes
with Mrs. Manley, socialist, a close
third The result in this ward is al,
tributed largely to the unpopularity
of the present councilman, John f.
Myles, to whose activity is laid the
defeat of J. J. Ryan at the primaries
Myles was blamed with engineering
the caucus which nominated Berdine
and the latter suffered thereby.
In the second and sixth wards,
Wieland and Milette, both socialists
were reelected entirely on their rec
ord. They made good average coun-
! cilmen and made no effort to inject
partyism into the affairs of the city
and the electors decided they were
| entitled to another term.
The light vote indicates clearly tho
slight interest taken in the results,
there being but 2,519 votes cast out
of registration of $500, a trihe over
! 40 per cent.
The defeat of O'Dell in the Second
ward is accounted for largely by the
| i'll feeling engendered in the primary
between his adherents and the friends
Of Mrs. Caroline Wiley The vote
goes to show that quite a number
Of her friends supported Wieland.
The defeat of Stalding in the Sixth
was unexpected by his friends, al
though it was known that the SER
vices of Mlette during his present
term was fairly satisfactory, and to
that fact he doubtless owes his re-
election.

London, Nov. 1O.--Lloyd George

Britain's responsibility for the war
He said:

Germany; we maintained no quarrel
with Germany. As the Lord iiveth

glad the Turk is to be called TO his

both ruthless military empires, with

"Within the last few days it sas
been my privilege to meet one Of the
greatest generals in the French army
and 10 talk 20 him of his experiences
in the war and to learn what he had
witnessed the carnage, the wear, the
terror-and he said to me. The man
who is responsible for this war has the
soul of a devil (cheers). That came
from the heart Of one Of the greatest

SLAP AT ARMY OFFICERS
Iron The Tribune Bureau.l

Washington, Nov. 10. - Secretary
Garrison declared to-day that he was
averse to army officers running to
Congress with their troubles or at
tempting in an unofficial way to pro-
mote legislation dealing with the policy
Of the department.
81 am ready and willing TO furnish
Congress or Representatives with all
information / possibly can about the
army, and inasmucn as | am respon-
sible for the affairs of the War De
partment, feel that | should give the
facts wanted said Mr.. Garrison.
He recognized the right of Congress
TO summon army officers to testify at
hearings before committees, but
thought he should first be consulted.
The remarks were elected by the
statement that army and navy officers
were willing to testify in an investiga-
tion Of The preparedness of the United
States for war.

WAR RISKS DOWN
Is PER CENT

War risks to certain Eastern ports
within the German cruiser Emden's re-
cent sphere OF influence fell 20 per
cent yesterday as soon as the news
was confirmed from London that the
Emden had been destroyed and the
Koenigsberg bottled up in an African
river. But underwriters, while pleased
about the elimination of some of their
risk, were not disposed to throw pru-
dence TO the winds and put into effect
a general reduction of rates.
at must be remembered" said one
of them, chat the ocean is by no
means clear Of German vessels. There
is still the squadron at large that did
effective work off the coast of Chill
a few days ago. Nobody knows where
it is. We don't know, either, where the
ships are that got away from Kiao-Chau
before the siege began, or where the
Karlsruhe will turn up next.
at is true that the British and Jap
anese navies are securing the ocean
for the Germans, but the ocean IS
pretty big, and there is the Emden
10 show how dangerous a single vessel
AZ large can be. OF course, there is
a chance that any Japanese feet that
may be purs Iing the Germans off the
west coast of South America will
catch them. and the chance is made a
little better by the fact that the Ger
mans were last heard of in a sort Of
channel running between Chilli and
Ecuador on one side and 6O0-mlle
reef on the other. but the chance
doesn't seem too good. For one thing,
the channel is anywhere from fifty to
400 miles wide"
Insurance men generally were disin-
clined TO give credit to the reports
that two British squadrons were on
their way TO the Pacific, via Cape
Horn or the Strait of Magellan. The
stories, they said, seemed 10 carry
disproof on their face.
While the rates TO Far Eastern
ports have been lowered, those 20
places on the North Sea have been
almost doubled because of the in
creased danger from floating mines.
Some underwriters will make no quo
t6tions whatever.
Asked yesterday about the report
that bankers were chary of buying
bills against exports of cotton be-
cause they could not get satisfactory
insurance certificates with them, an
underwater said that this was because
No insurance would be written by most
brokers except where the cargo was
consigned to definite person in a
neutral country for a definite destina-
ton. The custom before the war was
for cargoes TO be consigned "to order"
a fact which made it easy for the
bank to get its money back abroad.
But as it is now. with cargoes con-
signed to particular persons, there
must be an Endorsement of the docu-
ments by those persons before they
can be negotiated.

ASKS ABOUT SUBMARINES
Secretary Daniels Warns Ship
builder of Neutrality Law.

Washington, Nov. 10. - Although
President Powell of the Fore River
Ship and Engine Company denied that
his firm had as yet made any contract
TO build submarines for q belligerent
power of Europe, the belief prevailed
in official quarters to-day that twenty
submarines totalling Sll,000,OO0 in cost
soon would be built for Great Britain
By this concern.
When Mr.. Powell went to the Navy
Department to talk about bids for
American torpedo boats Secretary Dan
iels asked him informally if the pub
lished report that his firm had con-
tracted to build submarines for Europe
were true. Mr.. Powell said he had no
contract. The Secretary then remarked
that Of course no American concern
could build warships for belligerents
IN American waters. Mr.. Powell sug-
gested, however, that the same end
with respect to submarines could be
obtained by building the component
parts Of the vessels here and shipping
them abroad to be assembled. The
subject was not discussed further.
