Gilbert rose as soon as the court crier
had gabbled his formula and began the
days proceedings by waving the right
to continue his interrupted address to
the jury. He had concluded, he eX-
planned, that the outline Of the story
already given was sufficient to enable
the jury to follow the testimony, and
he would therefore proceed at once to
the examination of witnesses.
The judge nodded acquiescently, and
Rarstow instantly began another ap-

KAISER NOW WITH
TROOPS IN POLAND
Officially Announced He lssin
Won Hindenberg's Camp.
Resume Warsaw March.

BERLIN. via. The Hague, Nov. 80.
The Kaiser is now on the Eastern
battlefront. This was officially an
uouneed today. and this with the pro-
motion of General Won Hindenberg to
the rank of marshal, as a result of the
success with which the commander of
the Eastern forces has been in keep
ing German territory clear of Rus
slams, caused tremendous enthusiasm
in Berlin today. Victory in the fight
ing in Poland is not claimed by the
German war office, as 1t is admitted
that desperate fighting is still In pro-
gress.
The report of Field Marshal Won
Hindenberg that the Russian often
sive has been completely halted. how
ever has aroused hopes of a resump
tion of the march toward Warsaw in
the near future. The position of the
German troops i'm Poland is now de-
clared to be satisfactory. The fight
ing IN the vicinity of LODI is described
as "unimportant" in late dispatches
and it is assumed that the real centre
of the conflict has again shifted.
Imperial Chancellor Won Bethmann
Holweg. in replying to a telegram
from the Kaiser, congratulating him
upon his birthday, declares:
THE German nation is one with the
Kaiser in the trust of our forces and
confidence of final victory in a just
cause.'

VIEWS PLAN TO

: Suffrage Questions.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-William
Il Bryan's public espousal of the
causes of equal suffrage and prohi-
hilton as national reforms, to be ac-
tomplished through the medium OF
constftu tional amendments, has ex-
cited profound establishment in Wash
fnrfon. in view of the contrary views
entertained on these questions by Mr.
Rrvan's chief, President Wilson. Mr..
Tgrvan has come out in unequiYocai
terms for woman suffrage and prohl-
bitien of the liqnar traffic, and mas

on the contrary, President Wilson,
on Mt least one public occasion, de-
dared that regulation of the liquor

with 4 view to enlisting his support
for their cause he asserted, with
Strong emphasis, that they should

added that tine saloon was the enemy

the two men are apt to find them
selves seriously at odds in 1916. Both
are tenacious of their opinions and,
despite his position in the Cabinet,
Mr.. BRYAN has shown a remarkable
disposition to assert his beliefs, al
though he has appeared at times as
acting contrary to the administrator
program and policy.
For example, Mr.. Wilson and NJ
BRYAN took opposing sides in the re-
cent Senatorial campaign in Illinois.
Mr. BRYAN went to that State and
made an active campaign before
the primaries in opposition to the
nomination of Roger Sullivan. There
is authority for the statement that
Mr. BRYAN did not consult President
Wilson as to his course. Sullivan
was nominated and, as candidate
before the people, was indorsed by

Princeton and Wellesley
Musical Clubs Please
in Joint Benefit Concert

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.--Many menu
bers of Manhattan and New Jersey
society attended the benefit concert
held in the grand ballroom of the
Waldorf-Astoria on Saturday night
by the glee clubs of Princeton and
Wellesley colleges. The audience de-
manded many encores.
A medley of Wellesley songs was
arranged by Miss Margaret Griffin,
10, who also acted as accompanies
for the Wellesley Glee Club. The
Princeton singers were led by o. S.
Putnam, Is; the Mandolin Club by
Frank Leslie, Is, and the Banjo Club
by d. Fleming, Sd, 10. There was
dancing after the concert.
The object of the concert was to
raise funds to rebuild the administra-
ton building at Wellesley College,
which was burned down last winter
Since March 1 the various clubs of
the college girls have raised about
81 900, 900. To this sum they must
add $250,000 more before the end Of
December or lose the conditional gift
of $4,000 promised by John ID.
Rockefeller The concert at the
Waldorf netted about $4,000.

he said, "to the fact that very large

IL SURPRISES me that America. to
which we are bound by ties OF friend

country; America, where millions of
our people have gone and carried the
German tongue and German ideas of
liberty and freedom, should be so
totally unable to put themselves In our
place. I would not be frank unless
l admitted that it has been sur
prise to me that Americans have not
seen more clearly up to this time the
position of Germany, entirely sur
rounded by jealous enemies. fighting
for her existence; that they have not
had better understanding. which
would necessarily mean a higher ap-
probation of the uneKampled sacri-
fees and heroism of our people, MAX
ing this gigantic struggle with no
other objective than the saving of the
fatherland."
He attributed the attitude Of
America almost wholly to England's
control of the press and the worlds

Germany has failed to appreciate the

that intelligent people in America, or

more amusing" he added in a more
sober tone. IF did not know that

countries Is being mis- ed. AS to my
being a war agitator, am truly sorry
that people do not know me better.
There Is no war party in Germany
now, and there never has been. 7
cannot help believing that it will very
soon dawn upon the world that so far
as Germany is concerned, this conflict
is not war waged by some mythical
party, but is fight backed by the
unity of the German empire. This
unity is the best answer to the charge
with which England is endeavoring to
terrify the world--that the war is
being pushed by an ambitious mill
tary clique"

that he will enjoy it," he said.
Switching to the subject OF the
enemy, the crown prince said:
THE French soldiers are surpassed
by none for their bravery. They have
fought splendidly. individually, the
French soldier Is equal in every re-
spect to our own in intelligence, and
in some things is quicker and more
agile. But he is defensive fighter
and lacks the logged determination
and staying power of our troops when
it comes to offensive work. Events
have shown that French leadership
has been excellent and 1t has COM
manded our admiration"
