This stage in the development Of the
conflict has been regarded as a decisive
one for the German hopes II the Ger
man General STAFF could not win a great
victory before the reserve strength began
to appear the advantage the Allies would
possess has seemed to be unmistakable.
No such victory has been gained, and
the FIRST British Territorial regiment has
arrived at the front. Henceforth, pre-
sumably. there will be a continuous in
crease Of Great Brltains military strength
on the Continent. The pressure of these
reinforcements should soon exert great
influence on the Franco Belgian cam
paign.
The defeat Of the three British cruisers
and supply ship by i've German cruisers
of the Chilian coast demonstrates the
hopelessness OF n greatly inferior force
attacking a superior Power at sea. II
shows how hazardous would be an offer
OF battle by the German high seas feet
safely resting in home harbors. The Ger
man preponderance in the Gillian battle
is not adequately represented by the pro-
portion of FIVE to three. The German
heavy armament aggregated l6 s.2-nch
guns, 12 59-inch guns and 80 L1-inch guns.
The British vessels had 92-inch guns
and 80 6-inch guns. With anything like
equal efficiency this difference in arma-
nent, particularly that between 16 s.2-lnch
rifles and two 9.2-inch guns, must have
resulted in success for the Germans.
Chief credit for the victory is in the

CHILDREN'S CORNER
BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES

NNCE upon time, a beautiful
fairy queen lived in the centre of
a great dark forest. Through the
forest ran a brook and by this brook
was the fairy queens home. Her pal
ace was made of the tall lily leaves
and the turrets and towers were made
of the tall white lily blooms that stuck
their heads out of the water and stood
high above the green leaves.
You would think that any fairy, liv-
ing,in home like that, would be per-
feStly happy, but this fairy wasn't
she wasn't even happy a little bit, be-
cause she was always thinking of the
things she didn't havel And that's
no way to be happy-no way at ALL
When the soft cool breezes of night
came and whispered to her, instead of
listening to them and hearing their
message, she said grumblingly "Oh, I
don't want to talk to you, go awayl
] want to talk to the morning breezes
now"
When the cool rain drops spiattered
on her forehead she never turned up
her face and drank in their freshness
as the other fairy queens did. She
shut herself up tight in her palace and
fretted for the sunshine.
And then when the sunshine did
come, she was so hot and thirsty that
she grumbled and wished for rainl
OF course. that is no way to be
happy.
The other fairies and all the fairy
queens were very patient with her for
a long time She was really a beauti-
ful fairy and before she got the bad
habit of unhappiness she was very
kind and good to them.
So they talked to her and tried to
make her happy.
"Goldy" they said cher name was
Colby, why don't you like the sun
shine and the shadows, the rain and
the clouds as you used TOP
Because ] don't, Goldy answered
grossly, that's Why"

NEW YORK. Nov. 5.-Before sailing for
Europe yesterday on the Lusitania, Rob-

Ambassador to France and now partner
of j. p. Morgan, said:
with the treaties between England
France and Germany respecting Belgian
neutrality We have no diplomatic connec-
tlon. But in The Hague Convention we
have real and intimate concern. That
convention was signed by the United
States and signed and ratified by Ger

many and the United States.
I'm admittedly violating that conven-
tion, Germany broke a treaty solemnly
made with the United States.
Abe The Hague conventions to become
scraps of paper without protest from
this Government? II the treaties made
at The Hague are to be so lightly re-
garded then why not all other treaties?

into between this Government and any
other Government, and we assume
heavy moral responsibility when we re-

PRESIDENT PLANS
TO GIVE OPPORTUNITY
FOR BUSINESS BOOM
Will Not Call Extra Session
of Congress or Suggest an
Extended Legislative Pro-
gram.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-President will
son, desirous of giving business every
possible opportunity to develop the boom
which he feels certain is coming will not
call an extra session of Congress- which
was his purpose in the event Of that body
passing to Republican control as the re-
suit Of Tuesdays elections. He does not
contemplate writing more than an ex-
tremely brief message for presentation to
the national lawmaklng body when It re-
assemblies for the short session next
month, now that continued ascendency Of
the Democrats In the House and undls-
turbed control of tho Senate Of the 9th
Congress are assured.
Neither does the President expect any
lengthy program Of legislation to be en-
acted before March next, when the
3 short session adjourns. 1t can be stated
on the highest authority there will be no
extra session following that date, no mat
ter what legislation is left unfinished.
Relieved Of the necessity Of calling an
extra session, Mr.. Wilson is planning
to take 1t easy for the next month.
He will remain in Washington, but will
give his attention only to the foreign
problems confronting the Administration,
especially the complex questions of con-
traband which have arisen between the
United States and Great Britain.
The President does not anticipate writ
ing moro than an extremely brief mes
sage to present to Congress next Decem-
b r.
The President, Postmaster General
Burleson and Secretary Tumulty again
today undertook a careful analysis of
Tuesdays election returns. Belated in
formation from many States continued to
pour in on the White House. Among these
was a dispatch from tho chairman of
the Democratic State Committee of Ne
vada, claiming the reelection of Senator
Francis G. Newlands.
President Wilson and his advisers ap-
peared entirely cheerful over the situa-
ton, and Secretary Tumulty declared the
situation was altogether satisfactory. The
President believes that the Administra-
ton VIII be found to have q working

LONDON, Nov. s.

LONDON, Nov. s.
That four German dreadnoughts and
four German cruisers took part in Tues
days engagement Off the east coast Of
England Is confirmed by the crew Of
the steam drifter Garrigill. According
to the skipper Of the drlfter the German
ships appeared through the mist about 16
miles east-northeast OF Bowestoft at Z
o'clock in the morning. The firing at
the British cruiser Halcyon lasted l5
minutes
The skipper also says that two British
submarines, in addition to the D-5, which
was sunk by striking a mine, pursued the
Germans.
Next to the Turkish situation, the
appearance of German warships off the
coast of England is causing most of the
discussion in this country today There
is a disposition among naval men to be-
lieve that no serious raid was intended,
but that the Germans hoped to induce
British warships to follow them, and by
laying mines as they retired, to catch
some of the bigger ships, as they did the
submarine DIS.
Telegraphng from Yarmouth regard
ing the raid made by the German squad
ron in the North Sea. the correspondent
of the Times says:

some of the shells dropped within a mile
OF the beach, one exploding within a few
hundred yards of the naval air station on
