PRESIDENT TO REPLY
WILSON TO ANSWER HUGHES
AFTER CONGRESS Ao5ouRNS.
Executive Pleased by Republican Nom
inee's Address-Mass of Material
Gathered to Meet Charges.

Washington, Aug. 2.--The accept
ance speech of Charles Evans Hughes,
Republican candidate for the presi-
dency was read with the greatest in
tefest here. His action in massing
his heaviest artillery on the Mexican
situation had been anticipated and 1t,
was admitted in administration circles.
that the president has been gathering
enormous masses of material TO meet
all charges brought against him In
connection with his border policy. JUS
tee Hughes, however, in squarely de-
claring for woman's suffrage, surprised
administration leaders who had eX-
pected to make astrong fight to push
the president far into the lead in the
several suffrage stbtes 1T is now con-
sidered certain that the president will
accept the general principle of ma
tional equal suffrage in his speech Of
acceptance.
At the White House It was said that
the president would have no reply
whatever to make to the Hughes ad-
dress at this time.
1.-The president will deal with the
issues of the campaign as he sees them
when congress adjOurns and he makes
his speech of acceptance" was the
only comment Obtalnable at the White
House.
Privately, however, 1t was said that
the action of the Republican candidate
in severely scoring the Mexican policy
should be changed to one that "wOuld
unflinchingly maintain American
rights on land and sea-" has pleased
the president. He will make his cam
Ipaign on the slogan that he has kept
the country out of war and he and all
other Democratic orators will insist
| that any other policy than that which
has been followed would already have
plunged this country into the conflict.
So far as actual comment was con-
cerned Republicans praised the speech
Of Justice Hughes as a wonderfully
strong document while Democrats
characterized it as weak.
Postmaster General Burleson, who
is the political spokesman of the adj
ministration, expressed the views of
himself and his colleagues in the fol-
lowing words:
1.-THE speech is worse than pussy
footing. 1t is a complete laydown.
The people are tired of generalities,
and expect candidates to be specific
in their promises. Mr.. Hughes does
not say what he would have done in
Mexico or what he will do If elected
The speech suits Democrats all
right"

sending their dog or dogs to the home
of a country friend during the season
of tax collection and when the time
for collection is over the dogs are
brought back into town.

time the amount assessed will be

Neighbors say they are nuisance

dogs at this season OF the year are a
menace to public well being.

here from Berlin, has ISSUED the fol-
lowing proclamation to the German
forces on land and sea:
! Comrades: The second year of the
world war has elapsed. Like the first
year, 1t was for Germany's arms a year
Of glory. On all fronts you inflicted
new and heavy blows on the enemy.
Whether the enemy retreated, borne
down by the force of your attacks. or
whether, REINFORCED by foreign as
service from all parts of the world. he
tried TO rob yeu Of the fruits of for
mer victories, you always proved your
selves superior TO him. 4..
Even where England's tyranny was
uncontested, namely, lOn the free waves
of the sea, You VIGOROUSLY fought
against gigantic superiority.
Your kaiser's appreciation and your
grateful cOuntry's proud admiration
are assured TO you for these deeds, for
your mistaken loyalty, for your bold
daring and for your tenacious bravery.
Like the memory Of our dead he
| roes, your fame also will endure
through all time. The lamels which
our leyer-confident forces have won
against the enemy in spite of trials
and dangers are inseparably linked
with the devoted and untiring labor at
home. ....
"This strength at home has sent an
ever-fresh inspiration TO the armies In
the field. 1t has continually quickened
our swords, has kmdred Germany's en-
thusiasm and has Terrified the enemy.
My gratitude and that Of the father
land are due the nation at home. .@
Will Continue as Before.
But the strength and will of the en-
envy are not yet broken. We must con-
tinue the severe struggle in order to
secure the safety of orr. beloved home
land, to preserve the honor of the ia
therland and the greatness of the en-
pire. g.. , .,... ..-.... rs. .e.
Whether the enemy wages war with
/ the force of arms or with cold, calcu-
lating malice, we shall continue as
4 before into the third year of the war.
The spirit Of duty to the fatherland
and of unbending will to victory per-
rneate our homes and our fighting
forces tod~y as in the first days of the
war. r# .-..
With Gods gracious help ! am con.
WINGED that your future deeds will
equal those Of the past and present.

rial chancellor, Doctor Won Bethmann,
HOllweg on the second anniversary OF
the war, transmitted by Reuters cor.
respondent at Amsterdam. the kaiser
is quoted as saying:
"There are still hard times ahead
After the terrible storm of two years
of war the desire for sunshine and
peace is stirring all human hearts
But the war continues because the
battlecry of the enemy governments is
still the destruction of Germany. The
blame for further bl0Odshed falls only
on our enemies. Germany knows she
is fighting for existence; knows hel
strength and relies on Gods help
Therefore there is nothing to shake
our determination or endurance"

country in the movement for getting
Congress to pass retirement legislation

national president of the auxiliary. Mrs.
Stein spoke last night at meeting of the
local auxiliary at the home of Mrs. Will
liam F. Wheatley, 90 X street north

busy Immediately and increase the size
of their organization. She talked at
length of the need of retirement legis-
lation, and said that in her home town
there was a carrier eighty-three years OF
age who was compelled to work because
of the lack of legislation which would
give him an income and at the same time
allow a younger man to take his place.
Mrs Alice Mcconnell of Buffalo, N. Y,
national vice president, and Mrs Eliza
beth Johnston OF Columbus. Ohio. national
secretary, also spoke.
The women are here as delegates to the
| civil service organization. and are sched-
uled to deliver addresses on retirement at
