ALL EYES
 ARE ON
 ANTWERP

London, Oct. S.-All eyes are on Antwerp today. The fate of the city is regarded here of great importance - an import. ance entirely out of all prOpOr- ton to the numbers that are en- gagged in the attack upon and in the defense of the city.
 Germany must not only keep an open door into France, it is argued, but must be prepared to close the back door to Essen, one of the important German mill tary CenterS.

ZEPPELIN ATTACK STRIKES
 TERROR TO PoPULAcE

ANTWERP, Oct S.-When Zeppe lins began dropping bombs into Ant werp, the large avenue leading to the railroad station became blocked with struggling mass of humans, eager 10 escape from the city.
 Residents are transporting invalids and cripples and even the occupants of lunatiC asylums.
 It is a pathetic sight to see the poor people, many of them with sick or crippled relatives or friends on their backs. and other friends and relatives crowded around them for protection, crowding into railroad vans to be transported northbound, there to re- main in some cattle shed or railway platform until rooms can be found for them in Dutch asylums or institutions.
 Grown men are weeping, and others are fighting for places around the railroad stations. Women and chil dren. with ashen faces and frightened into a stoic silence, are ar2Ong the crowds.

CENSOR TURNS DOWN
 WINSTON cHURCHlLLS REPORT

BOSTON, Oct S.-The stupidity of the censor is a favorite theme for the London newspapers. The censor's crowning achievement seems to have been in the report of the battle of Heligoland, prepared by First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill him self. and issued by the official press bureau to the correspondents of the American and colonial papers. The censor refused, however, to let the story go through.

WILSON
 ASKS FOR DEMOCRATS

WASHINGTON, Oct S.-President Woodrow Wilson is asking the country to give him a Democratic Senate and House of Representatives. He is well under way in a letter writing cam paign, and devotes some time each day in dictating letters to friends and supporters of the administration throughout the country urging the people to vote for Democratic nomin- ecs for the Senate and House.
 Among those in behalf Of whom he has been especially active are Sena- tors B. F. Shiveley of Indiana; George E. Chamberlain, of Oregon; Francis G. Newlands, of Nevada; Charles S. Thomas, of Colorado; Marcus A. Smith of Arizona: and Candidates James w. Gerard of New York; Simeon E. Bald win, of Connecticut; A. Mitchell Pal mer, of Pennsylvania; Timothy s. Ho- gan, of Ohio; James D. Phelan, of California; Maurice Connolly, of Iowa, and others.
 Cabinet on Stump.
 Secretary of State William J. Bry- an. Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of Commerce Will liam C. Redfield, Secretary of Labor William B. Wilson, and probably At torney.General Thomas Watt Gregory and Postmaster-General A. $. Burle. son. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt, Assistant Sec retary of the Interior Bo Sweeney and other high officials will take the stump in the last two weeks of the campaign for Democratic candidates. In addt- tion to this array of administration members, Democratic Senators whose terms of office do not expire this year, and members of the Senate and House whose reelection is assured. will par ticipate in the campaigns in the doubt full States and Districts.
 It is not felt by the administration or Democratic leaders that there is any danger of losing either the Senate and House, but it is desired to make the majorities in both branches safe. It is confidentially expected, in fact, that the Democratic majority in the Senate will be largely increased. While 1t is not expected that the party ma iority in the House will be as large in the 64th Congress as is the almost unwieldly majority in the 6%rd Con gress. it is believed that it will not be less than 100.

Wasted Food.

Investigation into conditions in city in.
stituuons under the Department of Cor
rection shows that at the workhouSe the
food waste from two meals amounted to
1874 pounds. and that at the penitentiary
the food returned after three meals was
1887 pounds. What this bad manage
ment costs the city in the course of year
must be reckoned in tens of thousands of
dollars.
In large measure the abuse grows out
of the so-called American standard of
living. BY habit and false pride we are
a wasteful people. Public and private
extravaganza is a national vice in which
we glory while sermonizing about it.
Honest thrift is an alien characteristic
that we are apt to regard with lofty con
tempt So we squander our resources
heedlessy in the government of our
cities and the conduct OF our household.
and call ourselves practical people with
strictly modern business ideas.
The trouble with the institutions under
the Department of Correction is that.
like the average establishment, they have
been run at haphazard Commissioners
did not know what was being done, or
did not take the trouble to find out. Anv
competent manager of the kitchen could
have saved enough money to improve
the diet and make other needed changes.
But 1t never seems to have entered any
commissioner head that a first require
ment was that the management should
be competent and economical
