ACTIVE JERSEY CAMPAIGN
FOR SEATS IN CONGRESS
Leaders to Stress Need Of State Tax
Under Democrats.

TRENTON, Sept 14--Republican lead
ers forecast victory for their con-
sressional candidates al the November
elections. Newton s. X. Bugbee chair
man Of the Republican state Committee,
has prepared an itinerary which will
carry him into every county during the
days remaining before the primary cleo
ton, September 20.
Mr.. Bugbee primed for a contest which,
II is admitted, will be strenuous, in view
of the luck that has fallen in the path
of the Democrats with the outbreak OF
the European war, has declared that
there appears to be no reason why the
Republicans should not return at least
seven out OF the twelve members of the
House of Representatives to be elected.
During the last week, or since such
candidates as John Dynely Prince, pro-
fessor In Columbia, who is a candidate
for Congress In the Sixth District, and
Edward w. Gray, formerly secretary Of
the state Committee, who Is running in
the Eighth District, have opened UP their
oratorlcal batteries. there has been
marked change in the sentiment of the
voters.
The party leaders are bent upon con-
vincing the voters that the Underwood

as to VShat che should do. This was
freely Rendered by everyone, no two OF
the advisers agreeing, however; the only
result was the heightning of the poor
womanis bewllderment, until at length
our. practical-minded diarist suggested
that they pass the hat, which was
promptly done. The writer concludes the
Incident by recording that he returned
home "one ounce lighter of pocket, but
none the poorer at heart"
The California gold-rush was a gamble
In which few won, but the stakes were
high, and mon willingly took terrible
chances. At the end of August, the diary
before us records, hundreds of destitute
emigrants were strolling UP and down the
river bank in quest of gold, knowing as
little about prospecting for II 'as they
do rbout happiness or the common com
forts of life" On the other hand, tho
writer's party less than four weeks later
took out Ss42 worth of gold in single
day The next day the forenoon was
spent in repairing the dam; the after
noon yielded about $3.50 in gold. This the
treasurer carried to camp in a common
washing pan, and setting 1t on the roof
to dry. proceeded to forget about 1t.
Some one else was more thoughtful, how
ever, for in the morning when inquiry
was made for the gold the pan and It's
contents had vanished.
Amid such scenes as these, less than
two generations ago, were laid the foun-
dations of the Golden state.

TO FIGHT SUFFRAGE IN WEST
National Association Sends Cam
paignsrs into Seven States.


WASHINGTON, Sept H. Predicting
that the seven states which will vote on
woman suffrage In November Will turn
down the proposition to give the fran
chlse TO women Miss Minnie Bronson,
general secretary Of the National Asso-
citation Opposed to Woman Suffrage, left
Washington last evening to assume per-
sonal charge OF the anti-suffrage cam
paigns in Nebraska, North Dakota
South Dakota, Montana and Nevada.
Cooperating with Miss Bronson will
be these speakers and field workers:
Miss Marjorie Dorman, Of New YORK;
Mrs. orville d. oliphant, Of New Jersey.
and Miss Markeson, of Ohio.
'In addition to the Ave far Western
states, Missouri and Ohio will vote on
the woman suffrage question in Novem-
ber," said Miss Bronson, In commenting
on the situation last evening. We feel
absolutely certain that all seven Of these
states will turn down the equal fran
chise proposition.
rThis is no time to introduce an mex
perienced element into the electorate. we
believe that the advocates of votes for
women will get the greatest setback
they have suffered since they began their
propaganda.
"Ohio, we are informed, will give a
bigger majority than ever against wonl-
an suffrage and Missouri is foregone
conclusion on our side. The Ave far
Western States, according to reports va
have had from disinterestcd parties, will
reject the woman suffrage proposal

tariff bill, and not the general conflict
in Europe, has been as much II not more,
responsible for the efforts the Democratic
Congress is now making to get money
under the pretext Of a war tax to relieve
the manufacturing and commercial inter-
ests of the country.
The effect OF the tariff. combined with
that OF the reform corporation laws
which were enacted when President VIII
son was Governor of New Jersey, sc-
cordine to the Republican leaders. has
reduced the State revenues to such an
extent that the state tax which was
threatened during the last session OF the
Legislature will this year become a reality
unless there is an absolute reputation
of the Democratic forces.
It Is known that Washington does not
look altogether upon the coming election
with the eyes OF an optmist OF course,
nothing will be spared TO re-elect those
Wilson congressman who are on the
ticket for another term, but, 80 far as
the white House Is concerned, there are
no predictions being made. Secretary
Joseph p. Tumulty, who came up from
Washington on Saturday, found time for
several conferences over the congress
sional situation.
II is understood that Mr.. Tunulty
learned enough of the situation In his
home county Of Hudson to lead him to
regard the opportunl for Wilson walk
over in the congressional elections as not
altogether certain.
The Progressives are displaying nothing
more than a passive interest in the cam
palgn, and even some OF the leaders ad-
init that a poor showing is to be ex-
pected at the polls this year

ALLIES DRAW LINES
ABOUT GER MANS IN
ARGONNE FOREST
Hemmed in On Three Sides
by Belgians, French and
British, Retreat Lies Across
Difficult Country.
LONDON. Sept. IA.

boNDON, sept Is
Hemrned in on three sides of the dis
trct known as the forest of Argonne,
German army Is today in serious
predicament and awaits either capture or
destruction.
On their front are the victorious squad
rons of British cavalry, to their left, on
the east, are the strong forts of Verdun,
with their formidable garrisons, while on
their right to the west are the rapidly
approaching army Of Belglans Only
to the rear lies safety, and the nature of
the country Is such that a rapid retreat
means a virtual rout.
The only source of supplies for this
army Is their base of Liege and should
the Belgians appear in sufficient force
even this thin line of communication will
be broken.
The loss of the line of communica
.tion will probably apply to the German
army in day or twos time. When 1t
does apply the German retreat will have
become disaster greater than Leipzig
Every official report goes to show how
sound is General Joffre's plan of leading
the invasion further and further away
from their base.
The German army in France will be
Obliged to communicate with its base
through Namur and Liege and the Meuse
and across Luxembourg. There will then
be danger OF ineXtricable disorder, as
the German army from Belgium and
the German army from the Disc Val
ley will be obliged to converge on the
same area and may be obliged to pass
through the neck of a bottle in north
France while being attacked from all
sides
Their rapid retreat shows the Germans
were unable to bring up reserves in suffi-
cient numbers. All this is borne out by
Yesterdays communique referring to the
general retreat between the Disc and the
Marne and Argonne.

WAR TAX DISPUTE
MAY RIVAL PANAMA
TOLLS IN INTENSITY
Split Among Democrats On
Freight Levy Promises to
Grow More Bitter-Many
Favor Stamp Tax.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14-war revenue
legislation faces fight within the Demo-
cratic ranks this week that may rival in
intensity the struggle over the repeal of
the Panama Canal tolls bill. Revolt against
the proposed per cent tax on freight
transportation charges, which developed
such proportions last week that admins
tration leaders decided to await the re-
turn Of President Wilson from New
Hampshire before introducing the revenue
bill, continues to grow In strength, and
party caucus Is demanded by Democratic
members of the House on the subject
Majority Leader Underwood, who with
held the measure which would tax beer,
wines and freight, plans to see President
Wilson today and to ask his open
espousal of a freight tax. Mr.. Underwood
will explain that there Is considerable OPP
position to the plan within the party and
that It's opponents propose to demand a
caucus and to fight for its defeat. They
want to substitute a heavier tax on beer,
tax on whiskies and distilled liquors
which was not contemplated In the Ways
and Means Committee bill. and perhaps
stamp and inheritance taxes.
officials close to the President have said
that he would support the freight tax,
while others believe that he will advise
the committee to make a third attempt to
provide means for increasing the revenue
without causing party strife.
A decision to insist on the freight tax
will result In a party caucus, probably
Tuesday night. and at least a weeks de-
lay in getting bill into the House, but
administration supporters do not believe
the opposition can rally strength enough
to upset the PLAN
Several Democrats. including members
of the Ways and Means Committee. are
preparing substitutes for the committee
bill. Some of them insist that stamp
tax will have to be accepted. They show
that nearly siO00O,000 was raised annually
from this source in 1899 and 1900.
Another source of trouble for Congress
Is the failure OF the Senate Committee on
Commerce, In its readjustment of the
rivers and harbors appropriation bill, to
satisfy the Republican members who are
conducting the filibuster against II.

Social. He Saws,

OYSTER BAY Sept, i.--oscar straus,
who has been active for the past few days
for peace by mediation, called at oyster
Bay with Mrs. straus, and had luncheon
with Colonel and Mrs Roosevelt
While MIR. Straus insisted that his visit
was entirely social the fact that he called
upon the Colonel in the thick OF Mr..
Straus' activities for peace, caused COM
ment.
my visit to Sycamore Hill is simply
and purely social one. Mr.. Straus and
myself are old friends of Colonel and
Mrs. Roosevelt" said Mr.. Straus.
Asked II the call did not have some
relations with MIR. Straus' apparent efforts
within the past few days, and was made
in an EFFORT to enlist the former President
in the cause OF peace mediation. he re-
piled:
Absolutely not. ! am not here for that
purpose"
MIR. streus when asked n, irrespective Of
his visit. II could be assumed he was try
ing TO get Mr. Roosevelt to enter the peace
movement, he insisted II was not fair to
make any such inference. He simply re-
fused to discuss IT,
Colonel Roosevelt also refused to dis
cuss the Straus visit.
The Kaiser has al various times shown
his friendship for Colonel Roosevelt by
sending him letters, autographed DOCKS
and photos.

Falls Earlier Than Expected.

Antwerp fell, it is learned, eight days
earlier than Gen. Won Beseler bad antici-
pated. This unexpectedly quick termi-
nation to the siege was due in part to
the encouragement Of the Belgian
forces, disheartened by nine weeks of
defeat and with little hope of pro-
longing the resistance until relief could
arrive, and partly to the fact. discov-
cred by the Germans when they TOOK
possession of the city. that the fortress
lines had been practically penetrated
when the fortified positions behind the
Nethe river were carried. October 6
and :. The Belgian engineers, appar-
emily realizing that the inner glrdle or
forts was too close to the city, set up
second line of defense behind the
flood barrier Of the Nethe. damned up
to inundate belt of land quarter
mile wide, and had robbed the inner
forts of their heavy guns to arm TINS
improvised but exceedingly strong po-
sition Once this line was carried the
inner forts could offer comparatively
little resistance, and the city itself lay
open to bombardment-
Antwerp itself, as seen in drive
through miles of city streets, suffered
less from bornbardment than might
have been expected. Signs of the Ger
man shells are observed in all quar-
tiers of the city. but the destruction IS
usually confined to individual houses
or groups OF houses 1T widely scattered
intervals, the great mass of interVeh-
ing buildings being untouched
At German headquarters IT was stated
that this was due to a definite plan of
bombardment, designed to convince
Antwerp with Il minimum OF damage,
that ali parts of the city were at the
mercy of the German guns and that
further resistance was useless. The
heavy - and 16l inch guns were not
used against the city. but shells from
the smaller mortarS were dropped INTO
section after section of the town, one
or two shells to each section, until
every quarter had been Systematically
visited. The artllerymen, working with
pay particular attention to the vicinity
of the harbor works and of the monu-
mental public buildings, such as the
palace. the city hall and the Church of
Our Lady. placing their shells as close
as possible to the buildings without
actually hitting them.
