HALLOWEEN CATERS.
Tn Which the Police Were Called Upon
 to Act As Apostles of Peace.

Halloween activities of the younger generation were not very rough last evening, yet the police were called upon several times to act as apostles of peace.
 The police were called to Willow street where some boys had stolen a wagon and were burning it.
 Later in the evening the police were notified that some boys had left a wagon standing in the middle of the road near the Union Manufacturing company The wagon was taken into the factory yard that it might not jeopardize traffic.
 A man at 188 Oak street telephoned that he had hay stack in his yard and the boys had set it on fire.
 At S:30 o'clock the police were noti- fled that boys had stolen the silent officer" at the corner of Woodbine and Vine streets. It could not be found, although the police looked all over the neighborhood for it.
 Early in the evening Joseph R. An drews complained that some boys were demolishing a tool house on Newfield street. The police chased the youngsters away.

 British infantry never had any value. The French infantry now is only a miserabl shadow of what ii was two years ago. The French in fantry nowadays attacks only wher ! the artillery has done it's work so per | fectly that they have only to occupy

STFIRE SEASON
 OPENS IN THE EAST
While the West Is Comparatively
 Free from Danger Now

Washington, Nov. 1.-Although final figures are not yet reliable, re- ports received by the Forest Service indicate that the forest fire season in the west and north is practically at an end At the same time, say the officials, the fall fire season is just beginning on the national for ests of the southern Appalachians
 The difference in the occurrence of the fire seasons, 1t is explained, is caused by the difference in the char acter of the forests and of the climate and west the forests are composed al- most entirely of conifers and are To- cated at comparatively high attitudes or high latitudes. The greatest fire danger in these regions, the forest CTS say. occurs during the late spring and summer months. when the rain fall is light. During the rest of the year, there is, as a rule, enough rain and snow to prevent fires from start
 ing. On some of the forests in southern California, however, the fall rains are sometimes late in com- ing and the fire-fghting organization must often remain on duty until late in November
 In the southern Appalachians, how ever, the situation is practically re- versed. The forest is largely com posed of hardwoods and the heaviest
 rainfall occurs in the spring and summer and about two months in late
 winter. As a result, there are two distinct fire seasons. The first of 1 these occurs in the fall when there is usually little rain and the ground is covered with the dry fallen leaves, which are very infammable. The 1 fall fire season lasts until about De- | cember 15 when the winter rains set in. In the later winter months, the
 woods dry out and in February or
 March the spring season begins, and | continues until the spring rains come 1 or the trees and plants put out new readily
 1 A fire in the spring is much more l disastrous than at any other time of
 the year, according to the foresters. The new shoots on the trees are very
 tender and easily injured, and if a l fire occurs after the "sap starts," it
 usually kills all the young trees and 1 many of the older ones in the forest. | While timber is always damaged by
 a fall fire, unless the fire is severe l many trees will put out new growth
 in the following spring
 | In the west it is reported snow | has fallen in many localities and the
 forest rangers are taking up other 1 duties and are enjoying the let-up in 1 the arduous work of fire fighting, The rangers in the east, on the other
 hand are making their final plans
 for the coming season and are start
 ing their patrol.

WILL HIRE Y. M. C. A.
 SALESMANSHIP MEN
Barrett Adding Machine Company Will Give Positions to Two
 Local Graduates.

w. J. Peck, in his lecture on "Sell- ing Service," at the Y. M. c. A. last night, paid high tribute to the work done by the local association in con- ductjng the salesmanship course. pra ctical measure of this value was given by him stating that the Bar rett Adding Machine company would engage the two best men who gradu- ate from the class this year under h. structor Whitsey's instruction.
 MT. Peck's lecture was instructive and to the point He said 'Sellng service consists is selling two kinds of comm odities, general, material sup plies and personal qualities. lie con- tinued by explaining that SaleSlflall- ship was the breath of commercial life, and that the largest corporations in the country, including the largest hanks. were developing extensive ana efficient selling organizations. Ihls he. said, is the only way the demands of modern conditions can be met. Ihe Rorre+t company and hundreds or others were conducting school oally for their agents and salesmen.
 Preparation was the keynote or the lecture. The development of an at tractive and forceful personality was ononhasized above other things, as that was the highest priced article on inc market He insisted that success uas the result of fearful and consist ent effort, and that many young men had, and were, laying the foundation for their success in the Y. M. C. A. salesnanship classes.
 The first regular session or this class will be held Thursday evening, November 16, at D. m. The class viii be limited to forty. A large num- her of registrations have already been received

ing large sums of money at 7h to 10 on Wilson with no takers.
 It is known that a large proportion of the Hughes money in Wall street comes from big brokerage houses.
 Wisconsin Democratic,
 A man from Wisconsin offered on the Curb yesterday to bet S1,OOO to S3,O00 that Wilson would win the thirteen electoral votes fo his state, which has never gone Democratic in a national election.
 The odds yesterday on Hughes to carry New York State were 10 to 6, with the Democrats asking to 4. There was any amount of Wilson money at eVens that the Democratic candidate would carry Ohio, but with out takers. One commissioner offered S1,0OO to $9OO on this bet without placing his money. One freak prOpo- sitiOn of the day was an offer by a broker of $1, ,OO0 to $2,5O0 that Hughes would carry New York, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio. No one took the bet.
 Governor Whitman's odds jumped yesterday from 2 2A to 1 early in the day, and in the afternoon one stock exchange firm offered to bet $7,000 at odds of 3 1a to 1 that he will be re- elected. There were no takers.
 Most of the bets outside of the Curb were at 10 to g. From outside of the city many bets were reported at this figure, and from the south came news of several large wagers at even money.
 At the Waldorf Astoria Tex Richard off i to hot w 6 carry Ohio and to that he would carry the nation. Several bets on Hughes were made at the Waldorf at 10 to 9, several of s1,OOO to $900 be- ing recorded. A travelling man bet $1,700 to $1,2oO on Hughes. Odds of 2 to 1 that Wilson would carry New York City by 50,OO0 got no takers. bet of $5,O00 at even money was made that Whitman would carry New York State by 100000, and there was an offer of even money that he would get more votes than Hughes. There was another wager reported at even money that Hughes would not have plural ity of 100, ,0OO in this state. Another state bet was $500 even that Whitman would not come down to the Bronx with plurality of 100000.
 Fred Schumm, the Brooklyn betting commissioner, reported a combination bet yesterday of $500 to $500 that Hughes would be elected and would carry New York, New Jersey and Ohio. He placed a bet of ST. 900 ever that Wilson would carry Kings and another bet of s1,000 that he would get a plurality of 90,000 in New York City Another bet was $5,000 ever that Hughes would not get 75,oO( more votes in New York state thar Wilson. Schumm placed $500 ever that Hughes would carry Ohio.
 At Considine's, Forty-second stree1 and Broadway, Hughes remained a 10. to-9 favorite, with one good sized wager by a bookmaker at even money that Wilson would be the next Presi dent.

TWO WOMEN SEEK
 SEAT IN CONGRESS
Montana and Colorado Each Has Fe- male Candidates for National
 House.

New York, Nov. 1.-Official lists Of candidates of recognized parties for the congressional and state elections coincident with the presidential voting on November show that there will be at least two women running for congress and more than two score women in the contest for state offices, ranging from governor down.
 In Montana Jeanette Rankin Is the regular republican nominee for con- gress and in Colorado Hattie K. How ard is running on a progressive ticket.
 The Associated Press has just com- piled all of the state tickets from every state in the union and 1t ap- pears from these lists that there are exactly 46 women candidates for vari- ous state offices. This figure may be slightly reduced or increased by the fact that some names which almost certainly seem to be those of women are in rare cases also names of men, and 1t Is possible that some women have escaped identification by the use of initials instead of their full name, but the figures given, If not precise are interesting, since they develop the following facts:
 Of the 46 women seeking state off1- ces the majority (24) are nominees Of the Socialist party.
 Idaho is the only state in the Unit ed States where a woman Is cand1- date for governor, Annie E. TrlploW, below the socialist nominee for ch1er executive there.
 There are thirteen other states throughout the country where women are seeking state offices, namely, Ar1- zona, Colorado, Connecticut, Montana Nevada, New Mexico, Rhode Island South Oak ota, Utah, Washington, H. linois and Kansas.
 In Washington there are two Wom- en candidates, Prohibidonist and so- ciahst, for the office of lieutenant governor and two women of the same parties for state treasurer.
 Tn Connecticut Rhode Island, Ar1- zona, Colorado and Kansas there are women candidates for secretary of state. Various other offices, princl- pally as trustees of state universities, or superintendents of public 1nstruc- ton are those for which women have been named. Tn only one or two rare instances does it appear that the women candidates are now hold ing the office for which they seek election.

wholly superior to home influences.
 Those who believe in an earlier end- ing of the war base their belief-or perhaps their hope-upon the mili- tary assumption that an army cannot offer the same resistance in third or fourth or fifth line trenches that it did in the first line. They declare that when the French and the English were retreating at the beginning of the war it was a retreat of unpre- paredness. The German retreat they assert, is a reteat of exhaustion. These, they say, are the vital physical and moral facts of the laws of war. An army driven from one strong pos sition cannot fall back unshaken upon another.

 KNOCK DOWN ODDS
Bears Try to Get 10 to 7 on
 Hughes-No Large Bets

New Y ork, NOV 1.-In the Wall street election betting odds vesterdav there were indications of a. bear n,ove- ment by some brokers to establish q wager figure of 10 to on Hughes to beat Wilson. It was ''annOunced,, bv several commissioners that 10 to 7 was the figure of the day, but Investigation failed to show any large bets at +bosa odds.
 The general odds for the dav Dere 10 to R on Hughes to beat Wilson. there were bets made at 10 to 9 10 to and even money, with 10 to 91h , a close average. This marked a. slight weakness of the Wilson money. the prevailing odds since last Friday having been about i o to g. There wa 6 much comment yesterday over the fact that, although the Sunday news paper polls showed Wilson getting stronger, the odds had not shifted in his favor. On the other hand, there had been daily announcements of "avalanches" of Hughes money and yet there was no appreciable increase in the odds the packers of the Repub- lican standard bearer were willing to offer. Brokers predicted yesterday that Friday and Saturday and Monday would see some pig WagerS.
 $5O,OOO Bet.
 About s5O,O0O was bet on the Curb yesterday on election results Two wagers of $1O,000 each were made on Hughes against s8,000 on Wilson. These bets were the result of an offer of $25,000 on Hughes at 10 to S.. Another bet of s9,0O0 to s10,O0O on Wilson to beat Hughes was reported, and it was estimated that about $12,- 900 was placed on Hughes in small bets at odds of 10 to 9. It was said by representatives of several big brokerage houses that they had a lot of Hughes money if they could get in- viting odds
 The fact that there was no real bet ting on the presidential result at 10 to was shown by the circumstances that at the close'of the market one of the biggest commissioners was offer-
