NEW YORK Oct. 12.-William H.
 Walter, an attorney of Fort Wayne, Ii- diana, sent the Hughes Alliance today the names of 107 men of his personal acquaintance all democrats, who have announced their support of Governor Hughes and enrolled in the alliance. This indication of a Hughes sweep in Indiana is borne out by information gleaned by F. B. Fisher, a travelling salesman who has just completed trip through that state and who wrote the Hughes Alliance stating: After travel ing several hundred miles through In diana. thinking, sleeping, talking, eat ing, fighting for Hughes, l have come to the conclusion there are 100000 dem ocratic voters in Indiana who say little, but are for Hughes and that nothing will stay a clean sweep for Hughes and Fairbanks and the state ticket, includ- ing the two United States senator's"
 Another democrat of the old school, who is supporting MT. Hughes in this campaign is Frank H. Spearman, the well known author and writer on eco- monies. MT. Spearman announces that four years ago he and two of his sons, his brother and his nephews voted for Wilson. Next month" continued MT
 Spearman, three of my sons. my brother, my nephews. one and all, and l myself will take a long and watch fully awaited opportunity to record our utter detestation of the man and his policies by voting for Justice Hughes
 The quotation is from a letter writ ten by MT Spearman to eX-GovernoI

 Mir Harmon's invitation to MT Spear
 man to join that organization. MT Spearman-not only declined to join the Wilson League, but he wrote to for

 We want war with America under no circumstances. In the first place. We have enemies enough in the sec ond place, We feel to friendly toward America. Of course, Germany is in such position that she must use all available means against her enemies In doing this, she cannot always con duct the war according to the liking of the United States. Her present U boat warfare off the Canada coast, undoubtedly is disagreeahle for Amer jeans. Every one must be prepared to see a commander occasionally ov"rstep his instructions and make mistakes. but TO one here wants trouble least of all I, ard it can be counted upon that Perlin will keep it's word. We merely hope that in the future American friendship will be divided a little more fairly"
 The reference by Herr Thyssen to U-boat warfare off Canada. is tho first intimation of submarine activity along the Canadian coast, or intended activity in that direction.

HAMBORN. ON THE RHINE, oct II. (Via London, Oct 12)-That Ger many will not take up submarine warfare again in the old or sharpened form, is the opinion expressed to the Associated Press today by August Thyssen, the coal and steel magnate who is in close touch with the em- uire's affairs. Herr Thvssen's assur- ance came in the form of an abrupt Geclaration-"Be Berlin will keep its word"-uttered at the conclusion of a discussion of the present political sit nation. the new submarine activity off the American coast and the internal German movement for a sharper at titude toward Great Britain.
 Herr Thyssen referred to Germany s rromise to the United States in the Sussex crisis and his definite state ment may be regarded as having a double significance because the Rhine land is considered to be a hot bed of agitation for the resumption or a ruthless submarine campaign and be- cause he is in constant touch with those who are controlling Germany S military policies. He coupled his dec laratiCn. however, with firm eXpres- sion of belief that the submarine was Germany's most available weapon. and therefore an absolutely necessary weapon to achieve the freedom of the seas. He did not specifically say that the lorg-talked of resumption of sub marine warfare has actually now talk en place. in the unlocked for form of t-bOat activity on the other side of the ocean, but he left that inference to be drawn. He intimated that in the conduct of this warfare in the future mistakes by over-zealous con- manders may occur. but added:
 They must be expected and ex- cused, just as American army officer. cannot he expected not to make simi- lar mistakes in Mexico, occasionally
 Herr Thyssen made no effort tC conceal his disappointment that th. United States by ammunition deliver ies had aided Germany's enemies anC thus prolonged the war" but declare(
 that only those short sighted German who were irritated by the American attitude, could ever want war o trouble with the United States by re i turning to submarine warfare alonl the old lines
 "We wish an opportunity to develo
 in peace rather than in war" sai he in reply to a question about threat heard more and more frequently O

tion instead of by way of mutual de- struction. 1 hold this to be a happy omen. 1 see the growth in America of this conception fsolidarity of the interest Of each being the interest of all. and the interest of each growing out of the interest of all
 There is one field in which we are particularly sluggard in respect of this. I mean the relations between capital and labor. Nothing could be for the interest of capital that is not in the interest of labor, and nothing can be in the interest of labor which is not in the interest of capital. If men want to get rich they must have human relationships with those who help them to get rich. That Is a lesson that men have been exceeding ly slow to learn, slower than any oth- CT lesson of cooperation in America. l pray God that their eyes may be opened, and that they may sec that the future of this country lies in their cooperation, open, candid, cordial and not in their antagonisE, and that if they will once get together and plan in the same spirit the same things, the industry of America will go for ward by leaps and bounds sucr as we have never yet conceived Some times it is necessary in order to ar rest attention to pull mer up with a round turn and say tstop. look, listen, because presently if you don't tie great forces of society will correct the things that have gone wrong Society is the judge. The parties are not going to settle. The nation is going to settle, and I am counsel for the nation.
 And so, my fellow citizens, you sec how this little plant of the cause of good roads spreads into great tree bearing upon it's boughs the fruits of the savor of life. We have got to know each other We have got to cooperate with each other. We have got to stand together. That is all that politics is for. As a contest for office it is contemptible, but as a combination of thoughtful men to ac- complish something for the nation. il is honorable, If l could not be as

has done in ramming down the throat of congress his indefensible 10 hours pay for hours work Adamson law"
 Tt is difficult to speak with becom- ing restraint of his Mexican record" continues MT. Spearman. MT Bryan sought only to MeXicanize the currency of our country; Mir Wilson has Mex icanized, so far as he could, it's decent self-respect. MT. Bryan threatened only the national purse; MT. Wilson has filched our country's good name. The cries of the tortured Armenian Christians moved MT. Wilson almost to tears. The cries of the tortured Mex ican Christians masked his visage with that solemn breeding silence to which we have become so unhappily accus- toned. On the subject of driving Christ out of Mexico, MT. Wilson has nothing, not a syllable, to say. And in every step of his presidential career the American people have been met by his mysterious mutteringS, political un- dertOnes, lark intimations of imminent perils, and irritating insinuations and have been left to grope for truth con- corning situations with every avenue of the administration guarded to pre- vent the facts underlying his policies from becoming publicly known.
 MT Wilson will wonder next month why the business men of this country have presented practically united front against him at the polls. It is
 because their contempt for his utter helplessness as concerns business needs. For advice on this subject he
 has relied on MT. Josephus Daniels, as to Mexican conditions, on MT. John i Lind and Senor Carranza. In what ever direction we consider MT. Wilson and his advisors their efforts appear
 equally futile, equally depressing. This i frank letter is due to the fact that have bottled up my political wrath toe long. But this appeal to enroll in be- half of the present occupant of the i White House has been the straw that has broken at the eleventh hour, my | cameIs back of silence. Tens of thous-
 ands of democrats. like myself. have not changed our positions; the policie: of MT Bryan and too many of Mir Wilson's are not and never have beer ! democratic"

politics, but there is one thing that IS pertinent in this connection which cannot deny myself the privilege of saying Any man who reViVeS the issue of sectionalism in this country, is unworthy of the confidence of the nation He shows himself a provin- cial, he shows that he himself does not know the various sections of his own country. he shows that he has shut lis own heart up in little prov incc and that those who do not seek the special interests of that prov
 nce are to him sectional. while he alone is national. That IS the depth of anti-patriotic feeling.
 And that is my interest in good reads. for, my fellow citizens, my present interest is chiefly in. the ma tionalization of America. We have created a great people. At least, if [ may put it so. we have brought to- gether all the elements, all the com ponent parts. all the necessary char acters and industry and material sources of a great nation And we suddenly find that We are face to face with the problem of assembling these clements in the sense i'll which the mechanic assemblies the parts of machine. And having assembled those clements, to put them together for the creation of one united force for which the world shall hereafter look for most of it's forward impulse for most of it's ideal principles, for most of it's examples in the practice of liberty. And therefore, the thing that l am more interested in tran anything else in these days, is the forces that make for drawing Amer ica together into q great spiritual unit.
 Now, my fellow citizens, we have had time and opportunity until the present to do pretty much what We wanted in America and to do different things in different parts of America Rut just so soon as this great Europe an war is over, America has got to stand for one thing and only one | thing in the world, and she must b. | ready with united force We can't play with the clements of our life any

 WASHINGTON Oct 12-IndenticaI wemurandums from the British and French governments replying to the American protest against seizures of neutral mails were delivered today to tfe state department by the em- ua-sias here. The text was not made public, but the allies are understood to give renewed promises that every effort would be made to mimize de- .At and annoyance caused by examin- aton. bat they insist upon certain le~al rights in regard to mails. which the United States has denied.
 The principal complaint of the American government has been based on The contention that many vessels have been diverted from the high seas into British ports in order to give the British censors jurisdiction. There Is no indication that the new memorandum makes any concession of principle on that point
 Reply is made in the memorandum io the American note of May "A, char actcriZing the allies treatment of mails as a "lawless practice" and saving that "only a radical change in the present British and French policy. restoring the United States to it's fun rights as a neutral power. will satisfy the government"
 It is expected that the text of the allied communication will be made public later by agreement between the governments concerned
