had several appointments with Presi-
dent Wilson last week, but was pre-
vented from filing them by sickness.

with the political situation and wished
to advise the President as to condi-
tions in different states, especially in
New York.

with the results of the Maine election

Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia,
democrat, said:

think we should be well pleased with
the result. Since the war in Europe
the country is for the 'watchful wait
ing policy of the President"
Secretary Daniels, who spoke in the
Maine campaign, said today he was en-
tirely satisfied with the result Of the
elections in that state.
Il have just heard that the demo-
cratic governor was elected by plu-
rality of 5000. We have held all we
had in Maine, and made some gains, SO
that state, previously rock-ribbed re-
publican, may now be classed as doubt

the Germans by 100000 men. The
Austrian losses have been enormous,
some regiments losing all their Off
GERS. The Russians broke in suddenly
between the armies of Gen. Auffen-
