MILITlAMEN TEAR DOWN
 AN OBJECTIONABLE POSTER
Under Belief It Was Reflection on
 the American Soldier.

New Haven. Conn.,, Nov. 1--Declar- ing that. political poster set up on a billboard in this city today was a re- f1ection on the American soldier, a
 mum Der of miljtiamen recently ret urn
 ed from the Mexican border and now
 waiting to be mustered out, attempted
 to tear it down today, but were pre-
 vented by the police
 The poster shows on one half an American woman holding drowned child, and on the other the figure of
 an American soldier lying on the
 ground with Mexicans jabbing bayo-
 nets into him. The poster bears the line He has neglected me and mine,
 and is a parody on a democratic cam paign poster displayed about the city
 to further President Wilson's cam paign and which bears the inscription He has protected me and mine." When the soldiers were warned away they made inquiries of the re- publican and democratic. town chair men to find out who was responsible for the appearance and asked the acting mayor and chief of police to have it removed. When they were unsuccessful many of them declared that the poster must be removed and 1t would be by other means. While only a small number of militiamen, it was said, were active in the affair
 scores of others followed to look, on. Previously an indignation meeting
 of the soldiers had been held in the
 armory. The men claim that there is no political bias in their attitude, as | there are differences of political belief among them

CONFLICTING ELEMENTS IN
 DESTRUCTION OF MARINA.
Much Essential to a Determination of
 the Responsibility.

Washington, Nov. 1-So many con- fiicting elements have appeared so far in the destruction of the British ship Marina by a German submarine, with loss of American lives, that the incident threatens to fall into a tech nicaI discussion rather than a. clean cut issue of whether Germany has violated her pledges to the United States.
 It became quite apparent today both from the attitude of the state department and from the despatches from abroad, that much which is es- sentia1 to q determination of the re- sponsibility remains undisclosed, if in deed the United States, Germany or Great Britain are in possession of thG full facts.
 It appears certain, however, that na move will be made by the United States until the German version of the affair, as well as that of the de- struction of the British ship Rowan more by shell fire, with endangering of Americans, has been obtained.
 The only positive developments to- day were the action of Count von Bernstorf, the German ambassador, in asking his government to forward full details by wireless, and the issuance of a statement by Secretary Lansing that the investigation would be in nowise delayed because there is a po- itfca1 campaign in progress.

WALL STREET IS GIVING
 LARGE ODDS ON WILSON
Wagers Made at 10 to That Hughes
 Will be Elected.

New York, Nov. 1-Commissioners on the curb today quoted 10 to 1-2 as the prevailing odds on the election of Hughes. It was announced that about $10.000 had been placed on Will son at to 10. and that $20.1e0 had been wagered on the presidential cleo tion during the day. The odds were quoted at 10 to that Hughes would carry New York, with one bet at S1,000 to $500. Other quotations were "even money that Wilson would carry Ohio, $1,0O0 even that Whitman would run ahead of Hughes in New York state, and to 1 on Whitman to defeat Sea bury.
 The betting today represents a wider split in the odds against Wilson. which yesterday were 10 to s. It was stated on the stock exchange that the Wilson supporters would not offer better than 6 1-2 to 10. and that there is little Wilson money to be found. A bet of $20,000 to $13,o00 was later reported on the Stock Exchange.

Hard Fighting on
 the Somme Front
BRITISH AND FRENCH ATTACK
 ING TENAcIoUsLY
GERMAN LINE HOLDS
On the Pennsylvania Front the Ruman- ians Are Keeping Up Their Drive- Again the Russians Have Assumed the Offensive in GaIicia.

Hard fighting is again taking place on the SomIne front in France be- tween the entente allies and the Ger mans. Since Tuesday the British and French near Courcelette and on the
 boeufS-Gueudecourt front and to the south have been attacking violent ly, with the Germans tenaciouSly hold
 ing them back, except east of Les
 boeufs, where combined entente forces
 have gained some ground, and west of Lesboeufs, in the St. Pierre Vaast wood and near Sailfy-Sailliset, where
 the men of General French took addi-
 tional German trenches. Between Lesars and Gueudecourt an din the
 vicinity of the Schwaben redoubt the Germans are heavily bcnrbarding Brit
 ish positions.
 On the Pennsylvania front the Ru-
 manians are keeping up their drive of
 the Austro Germans in the Jiul valley, but according to PetroSrad the Teu- tons have occupied two villages south
 of the Rothenthurm pass. In the Pre- deal pass sector the Germans have penetrated Rumanian positions and captured 10 cannon and IT machine
 guns, and also have made further progress southeast of the Rothenthurm pass.
 Again the Russians have assumed the offensive in Galicia along the Narayuvl1a river and in the Michisouv | region. Berlin records the repulse of | five heavy attacks in the former dis l trict and Petrograd admits that the Russians in the latter zone have been pressed back by superior Teutonic | forces.
 Bad weather is again hampering the 1 operations on the Macedonia front, l but nevertheless the British in the l Struma region have taken Barakli- | AZuma from the Bulgarians, while the Serbs have made a slight advance on | Ioft Ia1 1oIy of TiJ md also put down an attack by the Teu- | tonic allies and made prisoners of both 1 Bulgarians and Germans
 With the advent of fine weather in | the Austro Italian theatre artillery 1 enga gements are being fought all along the line. The bombardments are 1 especially violent east of Gorizia and 1 on the Carso plateau.

PRESIDENT WILSON TELLS
 OF VIRTUES OF UNITY
Questions Patriotism of Men NSssS Make Play With Loss fc1saaS
 Americans.

Buffalo, N. r., 1.-President Wilson, in his first speech in New York state since the campaign opened, to- day questioned the patriotism of men who in the midst of the most critical relationships, the details of which they do not know, make play with the loss of the lives of American citizens even, in order that they may create a do- mestic political advantage" He de- clared that political parties should be used but that partisan use should not be made of them. Out of a leterog- enous nation we have got to make a unit,' said the president, ''in which no slightest line of division is visible be- yond our borders. Varety of opinion among ourselves there may be discus sion, free counsel as to what we ought to do, but as far as every other na ton is concerned, we must be absolutely a unit.''
 The remainder of the presidents afternoon speech, delivered at lun- cheon given in his honor by non- partisan club, was devoted to a dis cussion of internal and foreign prob lens facing the United States. He de- clared he was glad the campaign was nearly over, because within a week we can begin to talk sense again" He added that nothing so disturbs the discussion of public questions as a partis"r approach to them.

TRIAL OF SUIT AGAINST
 NEW HAVEN ROAD DIRECTORS
Denial Made That Company Conduct ed Monopoly in Restraint of Trade

New York, Nov 1.-In an answer filed here today in the federal district court to the suit of Edward Adams and other stockholders to recover $165, 100000 from William Rockefeller and associate directors of the New road company, denial was made that the company had conducted a monop- oly in restraint of trade The com plaint charged that the amount sought had been lost to the companys treas ury through alleged efforts of Rocke- feller and other directors to create and maintain railroad monopoly ir New England.
 The answer declares that each and every railroad. trolley and steamboat line acquired and co-~olled by the company is being operated lin accord ance with and subject to the express provisions of the statutes of the states of Massachusetts. Rhode Island, Con- necticut and New York, respectively and in accordance with the public policy of these states
 It also is asserted that if any com petition did exist between the lines of the company and any of the ac- quired lines, "such competition was nor substantial and even after the ac- quisition of such lines and each of them, there was, and issslew, te such lines, no unreasonable restraint of trade or commerce. within the fair and proper meaning of the Sherman law"
 The answer declares that the acqui- sition of the lines complained of was for the best interest of the public well as for the lines themselves.
 The court is asked to dismiss the complaint with reasonable costs and charges

protested to the United States against the new canal route treaty with Mi caragua, it became known tonight, on the ground that the granting of a 99 year lease to this government by Mi caragua of Great Corn and Little Corn islands is a denial of Colombian sovereignty in those islands. Colom- bia claims that the islands. though recently subject to Nicaraguan ad- ministration, are part of her territory under the cedula of November 30, 1903, issued by the king of Spain to demar- cate the various Spanish provinces in the New World. The islands are not claimed to be of any especial value except strategically. They lie about ten miles off the coast and have about 1000 population.
