The strike declaration at 9:2O O'CLOCK
last night was as big surprise 10 'ne
subway trainmen as anybody. All
thought their jobs were good until :
o'clock this morning, and several ex-
pressed the opinion and hopefully
too-that a way would be found out
Of the dilemma and there would be no
strike.
Tribune reporter informed gate
man the strike had been called feW
minutes after the action was taken.
81 don't believe it," he said. Every
thing will be all right until 9"
The reporter insisted his information
was correct.
"Well, let 'em strike" replied the
gateman. Il stick on the job. | don't
belong to the union. | didn't join be-
cause don't think they have a chance
TO win this fight"
This belief found corroboration in
the statements OF several subway
guards, who were approached between
10 and IL p. m. None had been in
formed the strike was called, and with
only few exceptions guards told in
quiring passengers there would be train
service all night.
There are 5000 strikebreakers at
the various barns all ready to take
charge Of the trains and resume the
runs as soon as the union men walk
out" said one guard. This strike isn't
going TO amount 10 much. Not over
one fourth of the men will 60 out"
An air of expectancy and uncertainty
pervaded the ranks of the workers all
afternoon and became more intense as
the evening wore on. There were fire.
quent conferences between subway
guards. who during the runs between
express stations often would gather in
one car and get their heads together.
II was evident there were disagree
ments among the men.
Meantime mushroom jitney msgnates
caught the spirit, and by lamplight
trucks were hastily converted into om-
ribuses Dawn promises to witness
fleets Of these weirdly converted con-
vcyances cruising the uptown streets
with drivers barking invitations TO take
people downtown. A score Of make
shift buses were parked along Lenox
Avenue at midnight.
Reports Of these forhoding activities,
carried into the subway tubes. in
creased the tension among the work
ers there.

LINE UP STRON
That the German press Of America
in general is going to support. Hughes
for the presidency of the U. S.~as
against Woodrow Wilson seems to be
establishing itself with astonishing
speed.
In Chicago DR.. Michael Singer, edi-
tor Of the Illinois Staats-Zeitung,
said: 1--WE endorse Hughes because
Of his past record for efficiency. We
believe him to be a man without bias.
We will certainly do all we can to in
fUence the great German-American
vote to his benefit"
Paul F. Mueller, editor of the
AbenpOst, takes a little different
view. He said: Justice Hughes was
the best man the Republicans could
have nominated. Mr.. Wilson was, of
course, the only man for the Demo-
Gratis.
1T is too early in the campaign to
fly off the. handle and declare for
either Hughes or Wilson. What do
we know of Hughes, of what he
stands for. He has been until now a
man of silence. We must wait for
him to speak; we cannot judge his
presidential caliber from his conduct
as a supreme court judge, nor from
his seemingly good record some
years ago as governor of New York.
Let US wait and see what the can
didates do stand for. Personalities
have no place in a presidential cam
paign."
To determine as accurately as pos
sible how deep-seated this move
ment is, the editor of this paper wired
many leading German dailies in cit
les from the Atlantic to the Pacific
to state by wire their attitude on the
candidacy Of Hughes. Here are their

of preventing his nomination by the

that their counsels have been so en-

New York German Herold: "Un-
less all indications are deceptive, JUS

dent of the United States. For
United States German-Americans it
is a peculiar satisfaction to be able to
greet him as a candidate. While we
do not assume that he is prO-Ger-

opinion may be, he will appOTtion

BRITISH THINK OVER PROPOSALS

LONDON Dec. 13.-As the time goes on since the German peace proposals became public the opinion of all sorts of people in this country to be that clear statement of the allied demands would be the best policy to adopt Some high officials believe that Germany is seeking to gain time but then they believe matters should not be pushed until the atmosphere is cleared The government is now consulting the governments of the allied nations and exchange of opinions will take place before anything definite is given out officially. There IS no doubt however that Britain is not in favor of creat inc independent Polish and Lithuanian kingdoms because no compensation offered to Russia. There is also no
 ght thrown on the German intentions with respect to Poland and on the whole people think the only possible outcome of Holwegs proposals at present would be an interchange of views regarding what the claims of each alliance would be- It will probably be three weeks before the allied nations have consulted each other and arrived at some common ground for reply to the German chan cellOrS statement.
