Life Preserver Shaped Like TenpIn

One Of the latest substitutes for the
ordinary life preserver is a curious
device which, when extended for use,
has a shape resembling that of a bowl
ing pin. 1t is intended to be entered
by a single person and in that case
keeps the user entirely dry. but it is
claimed that its buoyancy is so great
that, in case Of a catastrophe, as many
as twenty persons can be supported
for an indefinite period by hanging to
the loops around the lower part Of
the hood.

record also is the best, only six
points having been scored against the
crack eleven.
Tennessee looks to have the best
team in the S. /. A. A., but it may
strike snag today when it goes up
against the Vanderbilt eleven. Van
derbilt this year hasn't cut many
didoes in a football way. It's team

crowd hasn't been able to perform
in the style of other years. But it

Summing up the situation, the only
sizeable teams in the country that
have won every game played are:
University of Pittsburgh, Army,
New York University, Washington &

tady, N. Y.
The list of teams that have not been
beaten, but which have been tied in
clude Harvard, Princeton, Penna
State, Wisconsin and Chicago.
Washington & Lee, with 288 points
scored in six games, has the scoring
record to date. Dartmouth and Wash
ington & Jefferson are tied for second
konors with 221 points each. The

ONE BATTALION
LEAVES 500 DEAD
(By Franklin P. Merrick)

Paris, Nov. Tt is officially re-
ported that in the recent fighting
near Nancy single German battal-
ion left 500 dead on the battlefield
and two complete German detach
ments got lost in fog near Lens and
surrendered.
The following official statement was
issued by the war office this after
noon:
Goa our left wing comparative calm
exists on the User river in the vi
cinity of Dixmude. The Belgian troops
holding the right bank of the Yser
from Nieuport to Lembartzyde, are
being subjected to a counter attack
by the Germans and were reinforced
in time to permit them to maintain
their position.
"Our front has been completely es-
tablisked from the coast 10 Dixmude.

The enemy's attacks in the vicinity
of DiXchoote have also been checked
by French troops, who followed up the
advantage.
"To the east of Ypres no change
has occurred in the situation. To the
southeast of this town he have re-
sumed the offensive and in conjunc-
tion with the British have repulsed I.
particularly violent attack made by
forces belonging to a veteran corps
of the German army. Between Ar
mentieres and the La Bassee canal

A Democratic View.

Washington, Nov. Thomas J.
Pence, secretary of the Democratic
national committee, had this to say
tonight of Tuesdays election:
"The result of Tuesday is nothing
short of marvellous in the light of the
facts. The Republicans have achieved
victory invisible. They do not con-
troll any branch of the federal gov
ernment.
"The Republican press talks of a
victory achieved at the polls. What
was it? They lost three United States
senators while the Democracy elected
all of its Democratic senator's and i'm
creased its majority in the Senate
from ten to sixteen.
"In the light Of the political his
tory of the nation the Republicans
should have carried the House, but
they didn't. Instead, the Democratic
party smashed every political prece-
dent established since the foundation
of the government and elected DEM
ocratic House by the largest major
ity ever given political party fol-
lowing a revision of the tariff laws.
"Not only has the party made de-
cisive gains in the Senate which in
sure control of that body for many
years to come, but all records have
been broken in the election of ma
jority in the House following revis-
ion of the tariff laws.
'In analyzing the result of Tuesday
the fact should not be overlooked that
the Republican party in 1898 profited
by war with foreign country, 9TH
erwise it could hardly have survived
the ensuing congressional election.
"In the political contest of this week
the Democracy was at distinct dis
advantage because it had to bear the
brunt of a war tax and face demor-
allied conditions resulting from the
greatest war in the history of the
human race. With the commerce of
the ration temporarily throttled as a
result of this worldwide condition and
forced to enact war tax on the eve
of a congressional election, the admin
istration went before the people and
achieved victory never before ap-
preached by dominant political party
following a revision of the tariff"

Aguas Calientes, Nov. 7.-Genera
Eulalio Gutierrez, who took the oath
of office as provisional president OF
Mexico yesterday, will assume office
at noon Tuesday next. If the con-
vention fails to receive Carranza's res
ignation by noon Tuesday he will be
considered a rebel and be treated ac-
cordingly. The moment Carranza's
resignation comes to hand the peace
convention will be removed to Mexico
City and will establish itself under
the protection of the Division of the
North, the army formerly commanded
by General Francisco Villa.
1t is unlikely the convention will
take any further official action until
November 20, the date set for the ar
rival of the regularly appointed Ia
patista delegates.
FL Paso, Tex, Nox. American
troops at Vera Cruz must leave that
city or be attacked by an army OF
nearly $4,000 Carranza soldiers, if in
formation received here tonight is
true. General Carranza, it is stated,
in dispatches from Carranza territory
has called General Aguilar to a con-
ference at Cordoba to plan for an at
tack upon General Funston's force at
Vera Cruz.
Carlanza, following conference
with g. delegation from the Aguas
Calientes convention, announced thai
he would proceed from Puebla to Cor
doba to meet General Aguilar, and it
was unofficially stated that his con-
ference with Aguilar was for the pur-
pose of ordering movement against
the American forces.
Popular feeling in Mexico is against
continued American occupation of
Vera Cruz and it is believed that Car
rama believes that by ordering an
attack upon Americans he will win
popular approval, since Villa has an
rounced that he would see that Gu
tierrez, the newly appointed provis-
ional president, gives the guarantees
demanded by the American govern
ment. Carranza is expected to be 1t
Cordoba Saturday and the attack on
the Americans, it is claimed, may be
made Sunday.
Following an all-day battle, the
Carranze forces, who yesterday at
tackled the Villistas under General Fe-
lipe Angeles at a point about thirty
kilometers south of Aguas Calientes,
were forced to retire, according to
advices received here. 1t is stated
the Carranzistas sent out strong
deta chment toward Aguas Calientes
under command of General Leon.
1t is stated that the Carranza

/ forces did not intend to attack the
! convention city, but wished to take
up positions near by so as to neutral,
ize the effect of the large detach-
ments of Villa troops. The two
forces, however, came in contact early
in the morning. Reinforcements were
sent south from Aguas Calientes. AT
nightfall the Carranzistas were forced
to retire.
| Casualties on both sides are report
ed as having been heavy. 1t is not
expected that the fight will be re-
sumed unless the Carranzistas attempt
to advance, as the Villistas have been
ordered to simply maintain their posi-.
! tions.
Magdalena, Sonora, was attacked
and captured Thursday by column
sent out by General Benjamin Hill at
| Naco, according 10 advices received
here today.
A passenger train coming up from
the south was also captured and the
Maytorenista guard dispersed.
The capture of Magdalena is an i'm
portant move by the Carranzistas in
Sonora, as it cuts Maytorena's com
munication between his principal base,
Nogales, and the capital, Hermosillo.
Washington, Nov. THAT there is
some chance of averting renewal
of warfare in Mexico was indicated
by advices received here today.
General Villa has sent to the con-
vention at Aguas Calientes state
ment to the effect that if the conven-
tion thinks it is necessary for him to
give up his military command in or
der to bring about the retirement of
Carranza he will do so at any time.
The state department was advised
that the committee of the convention
sent to interview Carranza on his re-
tirement and the installation of Gen
eral Gutierrez, chosen by the conven-
tion to be his successor, is hopeful OF
effecting with Caranza peaceful So
luton of the clash.
General Villa has wired the conven-
tion that the prospect seems favorable
and advised the convention that it:
forces make no move toward Mexico
City until they hear further from him
Meanwhile increased support is com
ing to Carranza. 1t also became
known today that Generals Rojas
Candido Aguilar and Dominguez
governors of the states of Tlaxcala
Vera Cruz and Yucutan, respectively
have wired the convention that the.
repudiate its act in naming Cutter
rez and that they intend to suppor
Carranza with all the forces at thei
command. q
