 Nearly 1900 refugees have arrived AS the advance guard of what they said was an

France and Her Allies Will Fight to the End for Justice Against Might
FRENCH NATION NOT TO BE PREYED UPON
 BY A FOREIGN FOE
Premier Says Let Nation Keep Faith With Herself and Final Victory Is Assured

Paris, October 14-sSince France and her allies, in spite of their attachment they will prosecute 1t to the end ah theirsintimate union will assure the A q triumph of justice and right" say mier viviani in declaration to b. Ab- lished tomorrow in the magazine Lee lures Pour Tous
 France is not a country to be preyed upon,' he continues "She will not lay down her arms until after she has re- veneged outraged justice. consolidated forever with the fatherland the pro- vinces ravaged by force, restored heroic Belgium and broken Prussian mili- tarism in order to be able to recon struct upon a foundation of right a regenerated Europe
 Believing in our social, political and religious division, our enemies imagined this countrys elements irreconcilable. What did they see-workmen, employ CTS. artisans peasants, rich and poor men of all parties. all religious be- liefs, offering to sacrifice themselves, all fulfilling their duty in defending their territory, as in the hour of revo- lution, in defending the liberty of the world. All understood that the most humble is useful to the fatherland; that from the general in-chief, whose ad- mirable sangfroid compels the admira- tfnn of fn tha ht,v, l,1 act each has an indispensable role. The glory is for all; the light Eliminates every forehead
 Nation of Heroes
 Tt is not only to our army, whose heroism is guided by incomparable chiefs. that we shall owe victory, it is also to the nation that has been able to accompany that heroism with a union of silence and serenity in critical hours. If those hours seem long let us con tinue to think of our country and every hour will be easy sfers sis.ssss T -'f
 Finance Minister Rfbot, in the same issue of the magazine, speaking of the influence of finances upon the war, will say;
 "Frarce will not lack resources to sustain her effort in this war that she did not seek, but that she is determined to pursue without fiinching. As far as concerns finances, she can look upon the prolongation of hostilities without anxiety. The end of the conflict will not depend on our resources.
 Let France keep the faith she has in herself let her continue to understand her field duty as she has understood her financial duty and her military. She will thus aid in the final victory that the world feels is inevitable and that 1t awaits the interest of the liberty of peoples and civilization"
 Victor Augagneur the French minis ter of marine, declares:
 The German feet is quite as effec- lively annihilated as if it were sunk. It is power1ess and useless. Consequently our country is repaid a hundred fold for it's material sacrifices to increase the strength of it's navy"

NEW HAVEN TRIAL |SN0W UNDER WAY Twelve Tentative Jurors in Box When Session
 AdjOurns

New York, October 14.-The task of se- lecting a jury for the trial of William Rockefeller Lewis Cass Ledyard, Edward D. Robbins and eight other defendants, charged as directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad com pany with conspiracy to monopoize the transportation traffic of New England. pro gressed today to the point where at adjournment 12 tentative jurors were in the box. q
 Twice before the jury box had been filled, but counsel for the government and the defense each exercised a peremp- tory challenge. necessitating examina- ton each time of another talesman. Each side has II more peremptory challenges, and indications tonight were that others of the talesmen temporarily accepted would not remain permanently in the box.

will take effect has been made by Sec retary McAdoo. officials now are con- vinced they cannot count upon more than $750.000,0 900 for the 12 months and some believe the total income will not go over $700,000.000.
 Congress is to be asked to pass two revenue measures early in the coming session. one extending the emergency war tax. which expires December 31, and the other providing for retention of the present duty on sugar. Passage of these measures. however, would not increase the present revenues. With both in effect at present there has been deficit of $35.000. 900.
 Estimates for government depart ments. except state, war and navy are virtually the same as last year Additional forces in the diplomatic and consular service and at the state de- partment and extraordinary expenses abroad in the work being done by American embassies and legations will require an increase of about $l,S0O.000 for the state department. The $2,000, GOO appropriated by Congress as an emergency war fund for use of that department has been almost spent, but much of 1t already has been or will De reimbursed, SO that the reappro- priation will not represent any real expense.

 Lord Wiloughby De Broke and William Joynson- Hicks, member of Parliament, were the principal speakers at the meet ing
 We have come here. said Lord Wii,- loughby De Broke. ito urge upon the gov ernment that they have got to take steps to stop the kind of thing that happened last nigh The only way to do it is to treat them as they treat us.

BRYAN PEACE POLICY IS CONDEMNED BY NEW YORK ATTORNEY Holds Up to Scorn Attitude Nation Is Now Forced
 to Take in Foreign
 Relations

Davenport, la. October 14-condemna tion of utterances of President Wilson and William J. Bryan regarding citizen sol diery and nonresistance and of the La Toilette seamen's act as tending to pre- vent creation of. merchant marine aux night by Henry D. Estabrook a New York attorney. at the banquet of tn midwest conference on preparedness Mir Eastabrook. Senator Cummins of Iowa and several others spoke to an audience containing many members of Congress.
 No nation threatens ns in so many words" MT. Estabrook said But who is oblvious to hints and intimations? We boast our strength to repel attack when we know that we are weaker than dish water
 Shall we continue to listen to a wan derng voice as imbeciie as our condi- tion? When this voice was recently re. moved from. the counsels of our govern ment we thought. good easy souls, We had gotten rid of it.
 Bryan's Policy
 And yet l would advocate MT. Bryan's policy of non-resistance rather than any policy of half preparedness would rather scrap every gun and warship we own if we are not to add to them, for if We are without strength to oppose inva- sio nwe could at least claim the privilege of the weak and surrender with a moral claim to the pity of the invaders.
 ITO say that we are too big or too proud to fight in self-defense. with all respect to the estimable but mistaken gentleman who said it. is absurd and puerile. To say that mob of a mil lion or so of untrained citizenry would leap to arms and put to flight the Asia is worse than puerile-it is mur- derous stupidity"
 MT. Estabrook announced himself as opposed to large standing army be- cause he said, history had showed that governments supporting such armies had been always more or less depend ent upon the will of the armed or ganization. He added. however, that In 
 no instance had big navy ever turned against the government which sup ported 1t.
 Senator A B. Cummings advocated a consistent programme of prepared ness.
 q have no sympathy with the pro- posal to enter the mad competition for dominance which has characterized Great Britain and Germany" he said, but Congress should take immediate measures to supply the missing ele- ments of our naval strength. However, I am utterly opposed to any plan for the reorganization of the army, includ ing land reserves that involves com pulsory military training except in schools
 "The regular army probably requires some enlargement but we should be conservative about the extent of its in- crease"
