Elliott on Railroads. Duties.

Mr. Elliott said, in part:
More and more IS the public assum-
ing the position that the railroad and GER
tain other forms of business have a quasi
public character. The public Is also walk
ing up to the fact that II the owners and
managers of those quasi-public service
corporations are considered quasi-public
servants and justly held to a rigid &C
countability for their every act so must
the great army of employees be considered
quasi-public servants and be held 10 a
rigid accountability for their every act.
Society in due time must invent some
plan that will put beyond all reasonable
doubt the ability Of the great public SER
vice corporations to do the work that
they are expected TO do and society must
say to labor. Just as IL has said to capt.
tall You have certain responsibilities TO
the people as a whole that you cannot
neglect, and, In some lawful and orderly
manner, you must continue TO serve soci-
ETY. while any disagreements or misunder-
standings are being thrashed out before
the bar of public opinion
you have recently seen that, in de-
sire to meet the views OF a part OF the
public served by the company and the
views OF the federal administration, as
outlined by the Attorney-General of the
United States, the New Haven company
has agreed TO bring about a separation
of some of its properties. Just as rapidly
as is practicable, the details of this sep
aration will be worked out with the At
torney General OF the United States. who
desires to help in every reasonable way,
as IS shown by the following language
incorporated In the brief memorandum
outlining the basis of settlement arrived
at in January:
1.-The Department of Justice recognizes
the obligation incumbent upon directors
to conserve, as far as circumstances per-
NIT, the value Of stockholders property
and protect those stockholders from the
consequences of past acts; and so far as
Il properly may will endeavor 10 aid the
directors in discharging those obligations.
The New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad Company assents TO the above
plan In tho interest OF a peaceful solution
Of the so-called New England railroad
situation; IL does not desire this ac,lon
to be construed as an assent to or dissent
from the principles of law involved or the
commercial wisdom Of the proposed plan.

It is reported here that the Germans
are rushing additional troops into

The report that General Won Kluck has

This time the correspondent OF the FIX

that the general was wounded in a re-
cent battle and died in a hospital at
Namur. Another report to lie Matin
says the general was killed when an
aviator dropped a bomb ON his head
quarters. Still another report declares
that he was superseded in his command
because he wasted men. None of the
reports, however, are confirmed, and at
military headquarters it is declared that
there is every reason Go believe that
Won Kluck still commands in the angle
of the Aisne and Somme.
Most of the new levies ceming TO the

VOTE Shows ECLIPSE
OF The PROGRESSIVES
By The United Press.

bN Inc OulLtu Litcos
NEW YORK, Nov. 5.--While late
and complete returns today empha-
sized the sweep of the Republican
victories in various States. in cutting
the Democratic majority in the House
from 141 to 10, the complete eclipse
of the Progressives also became more
apparent.
If the claims of the Socialists prove
to be true, the Progressives in New
York have dropped from the posi-
ton of the third party to the NTH.
The Socialists succeeded in electing a
CONGRESSMAN in New York in Meyer
London, Of the Twelfth distrist
where the Progressives failed. Fred
erick Davenport, Progressive, polled
only 52,792 votes for governor, run
ming far behind William Sulzer, who
trailed behind Glynn and Whitman.
Charles Edward Russell, Socialist
candidate for governor in 1912, poll
was the candidate this year, and
IL he has run as well as did Rus
sell, the Socialist vote exceeds that OF
the Progressives. Socialists claim
their vote this year will total $4,000,
which would establish them well
ahead of the Progressives.
Although Gaylord and Berger, the
Socialist candidates for Congress in
Wisconsin. were defeated after a
close race, Socialists belive the cleo

increasing strength as they have now

BeIgians Hack BavsKians
On March Into Dunkirk

II is reported by the aerial scouts
that the Germans arc bringing several
divisions of reserve troops into poai-
tions vaguely described as "along the
left wing" and this Is interpreted by
the military chiefs as indicating thap
the Germans still adhere 70 their oriai-
nal plan Of attempting to take the
coast cities. IL was believed that they
had definitely abandoned it because Of
the terrible losses already sustained, but
the bringing up Of fresh reinforcemeuts
convince officials here that the German
strategy depends on possession Of the
coast as far south a. Calais. This the
allies ace determined TO prevent at any
cost.
The Germans continued today their
shelline OF the territory west of IONS
and along the Somme where the allies
are entrenched. a constant IRE from
their heavy guns is being maintained,
and IL is admitted thgt at certain
points the allied troops have been with
drawn 10 new entertainments because
the Germans had the exact range Of the
advanced positions.
