WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

The supreme efforts of the
fighting men of FIVE nations have
failed to turn the tide Of battle
along the France-Belgian border.
Latest reports today were that a
struggle of unparalleled fury was
still in progress along the North
sea, where the Germans, with
reckless bravery, are hinging their
troops against the allies forces.
The French official statement in
dicates that. an attempt to cut off
,the German right wing had made
some progress.
Reports from the eastern front
indicate that the greatest battle
of the war in that area is impend-
ing. Austria, in its latest official
statement, makes the claim to
having thrust strong forces across
the Carpathians in the face of de-
termined resistance.
The Austrians claim successes
in engagements to the northeast
of Przemysl and on the lower
San.
Latest dispatches from Petro-
grad say that the Germans are
continuing their "precipitate re-
treat" and have evacuated Lodz,
in Poland. An attempt by the
Germans to check the Russian
advance, it is said, was unsucces-
full.
Recent reports that relations
between China and Japan were
being strained were strengthened
by word from Peking that the
Chinese foreign minister had de-
manded the surrender of a Japa-
nese torpedo boat which entered
Chinese waters and attempted to
tow away the wreck of the tor
pedo boat beached by the Ger
mans to escape destruction by
the Japanese.

Germany Has No Intention of
Attacking Dominion, Says
BernStorH.
RIGHT TO LAND TROOPS
UPHELD BY AMBASSADOR
Declares British Possession Has Vio-
lated Spirit of Monroe Doctrine
by Fighting Teutons.

Although Germany contends that
Canada. by sending troops against
Germany, has violated the spirit of the
Monroe doctrine, Germany has no in
tention of attacking Canada nor at
tempting to colonize that dominion. ac-
cording to this statement issued here
today by the German embassy:
The German point of view is that by
5oining In a European war Canada has
put herself outside of the pale of the
Monroe doctrine. But Germany has not
the intention of attacking Canada nor
colonizing Canada"
The statement was in amplif1cation
of the view expressed yesterday by
Count Won Bernstorff. the German am
bassador. that by taking part in the
war the Canadians have justified an
aggressive campaign against them
selves.
To further explain the reason that
caused the German government IN a
formal note delivered to the State De-
partment, September 3, by Count Won
Bernstorff. voluntarily pledging Ger
many not to attempt colonial expansion
in South Africa, no matter what the
outcome of the war, the embassy Is
sued this statement:
THE note was written at that time
because Winston Churchill had said, in
his message to the American people,
that if Germany was victorious in the
present war she would attack the Mon
roe doctrine"
Right Upheld by BernstorR.
Germany's right to land troops in
Canada, if possible, and thus secure
at least q temporary foothold on the
American continent. was upheld by
Rnr haa
eador here, who declared this would
trine.
The ambassador suggested that, as
Canada was sending soldiers to Eu-
rope to fight against his country, the
United States should not consider it
in any sense an infringement on the
Monroe doctrine if Germany should
land an armed force on Canadian soil.
Discussing his now-much-talked-of
note of September 3 to the State De-
partment here, explaining the attitude
OF the German government toward the
Monroe doctrine, and giving assurance
that Germany was not contemplating
eny South American colonization
scheme in event of victory over the
allies. the ambassador said only South
America was referred to at that time,
because there had never been any ques-
tion raised as to possible German at
tempts to seek colonization in any
other part of the American hemisphere.
British Charge Not Recalled.
Count Won Bernstorff asserted that
Great Britain had officially called the
attention of the United States State
Department to reports that Germany
might attempt, If successful in the war,
to colonize in South America
officials at the department said later
they did not recall that Great Britain
had made any such charge, but the am
bassador explained that his note had
been intended largely as reply to
this action by Great Britain, as well
as to reports which that country had
been spreading in other ways that Ger

Gov. Glynn's Activity.

Men who have Travelled with Gov.
Glynn on his upstate tour say that he
has made a wonderful campaign He
has covered LOO miles and made ninety
six speeches in eleven days He is a
forceful talker and speaks convincingly
and with dignity.
Charges are flying now that Sulzer
leaders are preparing to turn over their
strength to Whitman. The county chair
man of the SulZer American party has
resigned, alleging that State Chairman
Tokaji has made deal to support Whit
man, but this is denied by Tokaji, who
says that as between Glynn and Whitman
he would be for Whitman. Significance
| is attached to similar remark by Sui
ger, who says he would rather see Whit
man elected than Glynn.
Yet, the report will not down that
| Just on the eve of the election, the
Sulzer supporters on the East Side will
be turned over to Whitman. Such a
deal would not be possible upstate,
where those who do support Sulzer in
dulge in no spirit of fetichism for him
and cannot be delivered bound hand
| and foot.
Religious Issue Denounced.
The republican state committee has
finally been forced to take public cog
nlzance OF tne reHslous issue raised
| by the Guardians of Liberty. State
| Chairman Tanner has issued the fol-
lowing statement: my attention has
been called to the fact that efforts are
being made to raise a religious issue
in this campaign. The fact that Mr..
whitman is of one religious belief and
Mr. Glynn of another ought not to be
considered by voter for one moment
in this election. I do not know whether
these efforts originate with the sup
porters of Gov. Glynn, but in either
event the republican state committe ee
does not countenance them, and de-
nounces as un-American and unfair any
attempt to obtain votes either for or
against any candidate on religious
grounds"

SUBMERGED ISSUE
AND SULzER VOTE
Two Factors Which Befog
Leaders of Both Parties
in New York.
MANY ANGLES PRESENTED
IN POLITICAL CAMPAIGN
Hennessey Accused of Opposing Gov.
Glynn - Tammany Suspected.
Charges and Countercharges.
By N. o. MESSENGER.

NEW YORK, October 26.-As the
campaign draws near to close it be-
gins to present many angles and to
show such conflicting and anomalous
conditions as to be confusing to the
observer. Among the more disconcert-
ing elements is the extent of the proba-
BILE effect Of the Submerged issue
the religious question, which no one
can accurately gauge. as 1t runs SO
deep below the surface.
Then there is the extent of the Sulzer
vote. Unknown, but thought to be
heavy and dangerous. In this connec-
tion, the prohibitionists, upon whose
ticket he is running. are preparing to
claim his vote as all their own for its
effect upon other states hereafter.
Then there is the reported activity of
Hennessey in hamstringing Glynn. To-
day I saw a letter from democratic
county committeeman charging that
Hennessey Is fomenting insurrection
and the inference is drawn that he is
speaking for the national administra-
ton. This impression. If existent. prob
ably will be removed by the letter of
Franklin D. Roosevelt supporting
Gerard.
Tammany Alleged to Be Trading.
1t is charged that Tammany is sup
porting Glynn with lip service only,
and that Tammany is making its usual
deal with the republicans of exchang-
ing favors up state for benefits in
Greater New York.
The Glynn managers are delighted
today with the action yesterday OF fed
Grated labor bodies representing 600.-
600 voters resolving to support Glynn.
The managers are anxious to have
Samuel Gompers come over and make
some speeches.
The democrats are after the negro
vote vigorously. The negro population
of this state has increased marvelously
in recent years. President Wilson Is
quoted as having said that he could be
counted upon to give the negroes fair
dealing and for everything to advance
the interests of the race.
The action of the republican national
committee, announced by Chairman
Hilles, reducing the representation In ma
tional conventions of the states where
the negro population is largest. and which
has been fought by the negroes for
years, will be seized upon by the demo-
Gratis to further arouse the negroes here.
On the other hand, Gilchrist Stewart,
leader Of the negro campaign committee,
says that all the negroes who went out
of the party In 1912 to follow the bull
moose are coming back and will vote
for Whitman.
