cause. Kills the germ, seals the cav

mouth acids, which irritate that fren-

E-Z Tooth Filler must not be con-
fused with toothache drops, gum or
wax, which bring only temporary re-
lief. The most remarkable feature
about E-Z is that it forms a perma-
nent filling. lasting often for years.

BRITISH SEIZE
 AMERICAN SHIPS
President Wilson Has Entered Off, cial Protest and Explanation
 Will Be Demanded.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-British cruisers yesterday seized the Ameri- can freighters Hamburg and Hooking and took them to Halifax harbor, de- spite the protests of the officers of the ships. No official explanation has been offered regarding the seizure of the freighters, but it is believed the British have knowledge they have carried contraband of war destined for Germany. President Wilson will demand an explanation and has all ready officially protested against the high-handed methods of the British admiralty in stopping American ves- sells on the high seas.
 The German-American papers are printing sarcastic references to the seizure of the American freighters, and declare that the action of the British cruisers will afford President Wilson an excellent opportunity of proving his neutrality.

VETS CLAIM FRAUD |S BEING PLANNED Assert that One-Fourth of Ohio Pro. hibitiOnists are Not Entitled to
 Vote Tomorrow on Issue.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 1.-The lead- CTS of the "wet" campaign declare that the prohibitionists are preparing to vote thousands of persons who are not residents of the state. They de- clare that fully one-fourth of the pro hibitionists are not entitled to vote and will be arrested if they go to the polls. The vets claim the election, which will be held tomorrow, will re- suit in a majority of fifty thousand against prohibition.
 It is estimated that William Jen- nings Bryan has addressed fifty mill lion people in fifty cities during the present campaign and should the prohibitionists carry the election the former secretary of state will be en- titled to the credit.
 Both sides have waged active cam paigns, spending money lavishly by hiring speakers of national reputation to tour the state in their interests Special police are being sworn in in every, city in the state as. it is feared that. trouble will result at the polls as e feeling is very bitter.

 ma Pretext for More Demands

PEKING, Nov. 1.-President Yuan has announced that it is too late for the Japanese and European govern ments to protest against the restora- tion of the monarchy in China. as the step has already been decided upon.
 The government of Japan has en- tered a strong, protest against the the abolition of the republic form of in China, and has assum- ed an aggressive attitude towards China which has caused alarm in the empire. It is feared that Japan will make the change of government in China an excuse to increase her de- mands upon the nation for further concessions.
 Japanese missionaries have been sent to all parts of the Chinese en- pire to arouse antagonism against the restoration of the monarchy and it is believed the missionaries will be fol- lowed by an armed invasion on the pretext that the monarchy might dis regard the treaty recently forced upon China by Japan, giving her territo- rial and commercial concessions which must ultimately place her in control of the affairs of the empire.

BITTER FIGHT BE MADE 0N COMBS Rxyan Following Not Hopeful of the Unanimous Denomination of
 President Wilson.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Many democratic leaders in the capital are in believing that the Democratic Ma tional convention will be so harmo- nl0us that President Wilson will be renominated by exclamation. The be- Eef is also expressed that 8 bitter fight will be waged against the reten- ton of William F. McCombs, as chairman of the National committee.
 Democratic leaders who claim to be in touch with the true sentiments of democrats in the central and west ern states assert that Mack has failed to consider William Jennings Bryan In his reckoning. The former secre- tary of state is regarded as having incyesed his following by his advo- fse bf peace and that the German American vote will be solid against President Wilson receiving the re- nomination.
 The preparedness" policy of the administration, it is believed, will meet with opposition in the conven- ton from the Bryan followers and possibly may result in disrupting the party. The Bryanites are sure that President Wilson cannot be nominat- ed unless he has the unqualified sup port of the former secretary of State.
