ed for the mighty dance arrived the
pure silver drippings were not to be
found upon the waxed floor and be-
hold the daughters were mighty
wroth. And they exclaimed in a
loud and stentorian voice: "why have
those who were hidden. not came,"
n they went forth into the lanes
and the alleys, the sheep ranches and
even unto the box cars and babe the
lame, the halt, the blind to come and
make merry with them and the hour
waxed close unto the eleventh watch
OF the night before the man with the
instrument of four strings was hidden
to make merry with the cat gut.
Now it so happened that as the
daughters were making gay with
their feet, even performing the
dough see dough" in a kittenish
manner and the "gents" were even
about to "Arkansaw" there entered
the festal ball room three guests who
were unbidden and the man with the
stringed instrument closed the throt-
tie and behold there was a mighty
calm like unto that which proceeds a
storm and even the blind could see
that the daughters were exasperated
exceedingly by the workings Of their
faces. And at this stage of the pro-
ceedings the daughter who seemed by
cook of the entire hurrah picked up
her train and walked even to within
a few feet of the unbidden guests and
spake unto them saying: "why have
We come unarrayed in a fried shirt
and without stove polish on your san
dals?

REPUBLICANS APPROVE
 PLANS FOR DEFENSE
President Will Consult All Congressmen for Their
 Views.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Republicans in congress will be consulted by President Wilson on the administra- tion plans for national defense before the opening of the coming session. In line with his announcement in his Manhattan club speech in New York last week, the president will appeal to men of all parties for legislation to strengthen the army and navy.
 Officials today took the view that the president is hopeful that his plans will receive the support Of republi- cans and thus overcome the opposi- tion of some democrats, led by former Secretary Bryan.
 No definite arrangements for con- ferences between the president and republicans leaders have been made, but the question will be taken up as soon as members of the senate and house begin arriving in Washington The ranking republican members of the senate and house military and naval committees and other republi- can leaders probably will be called in. ...
 The president has already received messages from a number of republi- cans outside of congress approving his defense plans.

NAVAL ENGAGEMENT

Firing Heard in Baltic Believed to
 Have Been Fight Between British
 Submarine and German Squadron.
 Copenhagen, Nov. II, via London, 1:12 D. m.-A cannonade of terrific intensity was heard yesterday in the neighborhood of the Fehmarn Belt. in the Baltic sea. It is believed by those who heard it to have been the result of a British submarine attack on German squadron.
 The firing lasted twenty minutes and was of such violence that doors and windows of houses on the rocky harbor were blown open. Houses vii brated as though in an earthquake. The weather was so thick that it was impossible to observe any of the de- tails of the engagement.
 Fehmarn sound is a channel less than a. quarter of mile broad sep arating the Prussian Island of Feh- marn, off Fehmarn, from the main- land of Holsteoin. Fehmarn Island lies about thirty-seven miles east of the entrance to Kiel harbor.

TRENTON ROPE PLANT
 DESTROYED BY FIRE
Blaze Was Not of Incendiary Origin Say Officials
 Damage $1, 100000.

Trenton, N. J., Nov. 11.-Approxi- rately one million dollars damage was done by fire which early today destroyed one of the wire rope shops Of the John A. Roebling Sons Com pany plant in this city. Due to the fact that the company has orders for war material for European countries, rumors were in circulation that the fire was of incendiary origin, but nothing has been found to substan- tate such reports. About 1000 men are thrown out of employment.
 During the progress of the fire a row of frame buildings on Clark street and running back to the burn ed structure caught fire several times and their occupants were compelled to move out, many of them wearing only their night clothing.
 The rope mill, which had a front age on Elmer street of about 100 feet, ran back a distance of 700 feet parallel with Clark street. The fire originated in the Elmer street end of the building and because of its inflammable construction the entire place was soon in flames. The in- terior of the mill was open from one end to the other and the upper floors were of wood and were saturated with oil from machinery.
 Wire rope varying from one-siX- teenth of an inch to one inch in dia- meter and said to be used almost eN- l clusively for domestic purposes, was being manufactured in this shop. ] Rumors that the first was of incen- diary origin due to the belief that the company was engaged in making material for war purposes were dis credited by officials of the concern. There were about $50 men employed in the shop which was being run night and day. Other branches of the plant necessarily will be affect
 ed by the closing down of this de- partment
 In recent years the Roebling com I pany has sustained heavy fire losses,
 the largest of which occurred last
 January when their Buckthorn plant
 was completely destroyed with a
 loss of $1,500,000.
 The building in which it was re-
 ported the Roeblings are planning to
 make guns barrels for war purposes
 is located three or four blocks from
 the scene of today's fire.

SHADE BOY BURIED
 BY FALLING EARTH
Son of High School Principal Caught Under Sandbank Beneath Which
 Children Were Playing.

Benjamin Slade, the ten years old son of Principal Louis F. Slade of the High school, narrowly escaped an un- timely death late yesterday afternoon when he was buried under a pile of sand on Commonwealth avenue near North Stanley street. As it happened he suffered nothing worse than a dis located shoulder and today was re- ported as resting comfortably at his home on Stanley street.
 Benjamin, with other children of the neighborhood, was playing in the sandbank, into which they had bur- rowed deep holes. Suddenly Q heavy mass of gravel and top soil gave way and young Slade was caught beneath. The other children detected the inn pending fall just in time to leap back, but Benjamin was too far under the bank to escape. He was instantly buried to the neck and was in bad fix when Charles Dyer one of his play mates, came to his rescue and pulled him out. It was then discovered that the boys shoulder was hurt and he was taken to his home. Dr. Frederic w. Peck was called and found that the youngsters shoulder had been dis located.
 The sandbank where the accident happened is about twelve feet high and children in that neighborhood have been repeatedly warned by their parents not to burrow into it, as it was apparent that cave in might occur without warning.

SWEDEN COMMENCES PRO-GERMAN ATTITUDE
Says, However, That Sentiment Has Been Exaggerated-NO
 Peace Talk.

London, Nov. II, 5:os a. m.-A Stockholm despatch to the Times says:
 While it undoubtedly is true that the preponderance of sentiment here is pro- German and anti-Allies, this sentiment has been exaggerated. What is true is that the court and military party certainly are pro-Ger- man and that the Germans, through their intelligent and persistent prop aganda, have dominated most of the channels of publicity to such an ex tent that even if a majority of the population favored the allies it would be difficult for their views to find expression.
 eff any intelligent and sustained effort has been made to win public opinion in Sweden for the allies bv means of publicity it's effects cer- tainly are not observable. The so- cialist party, however, is avowedlv and openly for the allies, and though the socialists are not strong enough to dominate the country's policy they are strong enough to dominate the country's policy they are strong enough to exercise great restrain ing influence to prevent other parties from forcing through any program which would ieopardize Swedish neu- trality.
 II am unable to discover any talk Of peace here or any feeling that Germany's success has brought the end of the war in sight,

CAR SKIDS ON WET
 STREET INTO TREE
David Colds Touring Car Badly Smashed Near South Church
 This Morning.

An Alpina Flyer automobile, owned by David Gold of 131 Hartford ave- nue, lived up to the adjective in it's name this morning when it skidded on the slippery pavement and scared through the air near the South church, bouncing into a tree by the road side. The machine was lowed into Denni- sons garage for repairs. '.
 Gold was driving his automobile slowly in a southerly direction and had passed Traffic Officer Theodore Johnson when his big car began to skid on the pavement, recently washed by the squeegee machine. Before he could regain control it had turned completed around and slammed into tree.
 The rear wheel on the left side was splintered and the opposite wheel was also broken by the impact. The front springs of the car were broken and the rear axel was badly sprung.
