MAJORITY REDUCED
IN THE HOUSE

Washington, Nov. 5.-Democratic
administratio leaders today CLAIMED
substantial majority" in the
house and continued control Of the
senate as a result OF the election for
the ext congress. On returns which
were not yet complete the Democrats
asserted their majority 1 the senate
had been t.ncrersed from 10 to 15.
l the house the returns indicated
that the present overwhelming Dem
ocratic majority OF 14O had dwind-
led to about 25.
With this the Democratic leaders
professed themselves satisfied, declar
ing 1t was the greatest majority
lever returned by any party in an off
year following a tariff revision.
The Democrats also asserted the
returns showed TINT the Progressive
and that therefore the Democratic
victory that therefore the Dem
ocratic victory was a triumph over a
reunited Republican party.
Republicans. however, were jubi-
liant over the result. They asserted
the Progressives were returning to
the fold. and that by 1916 the way
would be cleared for a sweeping
Republican victory. They were pre-
pared to welcome Uncle Joe" Can

UNION STOCK YARD
HAS BEEN CLOSED

Chicago, November 4.-The
Chicago United Stock Yards largest
cattle market in the world, which
has been in continuous business since
1865, toight was ordered closed for
several days because of the preva-
lence Of the hoof and mouth disease
among cattle.
The stock yards, it was officially
stated, probably will remain closed
ten days. The order viii! 80 into ef-
feet at the close Of busiess November
y. and continue until the upcl.ng Of
business Noverl;,er 16. 1i,. makes
the cessation * b. siness at yards
cover nine days. :W udins Sunday.
'T"e decision to close was reached
Hher prolonged conference Of the
Teu!ters OF the Stat: board OF live
stock commissioners with all the
leading stock dealers and packers
and after consultation with Cover
nor Gunne.
In ten days 1t is planned to rid the
stock yards Of contagion. The pro-
cess OF elimination will include the
destruction of infected cattle, the
disinfection of cattle pens and the
killing of rats. The immediate effect
of the suspension order will be to
stop shipments af cattle, sheep and
hogs to the Chicago market, which
amounts to almost 100000 head
daily.
The finding today that six hund-
red cattle here had been affected and
the belief that the 'contagion
had spread to various parts of the
yards made immediate action neces-
sary.
There is only one way to eradicate
this contagion and to prevent its
! spread and becoming possibly peril
to cattle raisers throughout the
country" said DR. II. A. Ramsey,
chief of field inspection of the bureau
OF animal inquiry, who arrived from
Washington Sunday, THE remedy is
to close up the stock yards and give
them thorough cleaing We have
acted merely in an advisory capa-
city as to the closing up of the yards.
All cattle-carying railroads we're
notified not to accept live stock for
the Chicago market. The closing cuts
off at once the chief market for
twenty-five ca:tle-raising States.
1t is the first time busiess ever was
suspended at the stock yards. 1t was
said that while the closing down is
trememendous in its consequences to
the industry it will not entail any
great hardship.
1t Is said that stock instead OF be-
ing sent to Chicago for slaughter will
be sent 70 Kansas City, Omaha, st
Joseph Sioux City and other points.
F.. f. White. a director in Armour
Co. said he believed neither the
meat industry nor meat prices would
be affected by the brief suspension
of the Chicago end of the business.

OF the Germans right wing which got
to within few miles OF Paris in the
first month of the fighting, has been
reported within the last few days in
official communications as directing
his amry in the fighting on the river

vicinity OF Paris. remained in the
position he had taken on the Aisne.
The fighting there recently has been
overshadowed by the operations in
Belgium and Gen. Won Kluck and his

In our noble resolve to aid others, must not
neglect our own. To them we owe first and
holy duty.
Here must pause and reflect Here, right
mere at home, is our problem. These are our
special charges, and call for definite measures for
immediate and material relief, if we would save
them from untold and unprecedented suffering
and hardship the coming Winter.
What they want is help, not reform or SYM

So within hearing distance Of the boats, as
they leave their New York piers laden with

ands of people who are suffering just as much
as the Belgians.
And New York. like Atlanta, is no excep-

Under the head of "Noise AS A Factor In
War;" the New York Press has the following
comment:
There has been growing in recent years be-
lief that the soldier from the rural districts is
not as good campaigner his brothers-in-arms
from the cities. From Europe there has just
come one comment from an excellent authority
bearing out in way, so far as the British troops
are concerned, this conclusion.
An English sergeant major, class that is the
hover OF the British army, owing to their sys-
tenn of training, and who is Great Britain's pro-
feSsional soldier par excellence, has expressed the
opinion the result of the Belgian and French
campaign that the regiments recruited in the big
cities are proving the best the battlefelds be-
cause they are accustomed to noise.
cit is the quantity of the German shells that
he sal hn11 Itch moi
racks the nerves beyond the breaking point for
those who live away from big cities.'
AS to the assertion that the man from the
country IS not so good a campa1gner as his
brother from the city, because the noise racks
the nerves of the ruralist, while the noise does
not bother the city chap because he is accus-
toned to it, there is much to be said.
The city chap may be accustomed to noise
city notes.-the clang of the trolley car gong
the shrek of the factory whistle-the honk of
the automobile, ETC., but the noise of powder,
with bullet before it, is an entirely different
noise.
In other words, there are noises and noises,
but no noise is quite so trying on the nerves
as that made by an enemy's bullet.
In the war between China and Japan, China
relied largely upon devices for making noise,
light and stink, while Japan relied upon the
Workmanship of her soldiers bullets.
The result of that war is history.
Again, some days ago when Lord Kitch-
ener was calling for more volunteers, he in
structed the British recruiting officers to get
men who knew how to shoot, and how to shoot
straight, it mattered not whether they knew
one foot from the other-in other words
Kitchener wanted men who knew how to aim
rifle SO the bullet would hit the other fellow,
whether the man who was aiming the rife
knew how to drill or not

A TRIVIAL PRICE.
lNew York World.l


However humiliating to British
pride the German submarine exploits
may be, Great Britain has paid a triv-
ial price for her command of the sea.
Not only has the British navy kept
tho German fleet bottled up, with the
exception of a few vagrant cruisers,
but II has swept Germanys mercan-
tile commerce from the face of the
waters. held British trade routes open
and made the transportation of Brit
ish troops as safe as in time of peace.
1t Is the navy that made possible the
landing of the expeditionary force in
France and the continual sending of
reinforcements and supplies. II is the
navy that enabled the British govern
ment to convoy1the Indian troops to
France and the Canadian troops TO
England. IL Is through the navy that
Great Britain has accomplished prac-
tically everything that she has thus
far achieved in a military way since
the war began. Ie
s IF blood be the price of admiralty"
as kipling sang, the British certainly
have no cause to complain when they
balance the books. The advantages
have been incalculable, and the cost
in money and mem has been small.
What are half a dozen second-rate
cruisers, or half a dozen dreadnauehts
for that matter, in comparison With
the military and commercial dividends
that the navy has paid the empire
