FIGURES MAJORITY
FOR c. 0.P. IN HOUSE
Committee Chairman Counts
Ten Over Opposition, With
Doubtful Districts Increased.
GOMPERS AIDS DEMOCRATS

The next House will be republican by
ten majority, according to the predic-
tion of Representative Frank z. Woods
+of Iowa. chairman of the republican
congressional campaign committee.
Mr.. Woods has made this prediction in
a report to Chairman WILCOX of the
republican national committee. The
campaign for congressional seats has
been carried on by the committee
named. working in harmony with the
committee in charge of the presidential
campaign. and has encountered most
difficult state of affairs. politically
speaking The difficulties of the con-
gressional campaign have been in
creased by the entrance of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor into the fight,
and the republican leaders admit now
that the number of doubtful districts
has increased instead of diminished.
If Representative Woods prediction is
accurate, there will be a lead of ten
republicans over the democrats, which
would give a slender working majority,
but nothing better. Those who know
the House of Representatives under
stand that the majority party can be
upset, stopped and split in two by the
minority, and a majority of ten on the
republican side would mean that re-
keep their crowd right in hand all the
time. The matter of presence on the
floor at all times would be vitality i'm

Activity of Gompers Noted.

The republican congressional cam
paigners report that Samuel Gompers
and representatives of the American
Federation of Labor are at work in
every district trying to elect demo-
cratic congressman and using the
Adamson law as the chief argument.
These political activities exceed any
thing ever undertaken by labor Or
ganiZation heretofore, according 10 the
from the field Big labor drives are De
ing made in districts which would or
dinarily be called republican, and this
has caused an uncertainty as TO the
number of surely republican districts.
At present the democrats nave ma
jority of twenty-three. The repubi-
cans must carry at least twelve demo-
cratic districts and retain their own
strength in order to break up the COM
bination as it exists now. There are
several districts where upsets are ex-
pected because of local issues There
are a few democratic districts which
win surely go republican. and vice
versa, but the net result is expected to
he republican by ten seats. At the
same time, there are republican cam
paign managers who declare Repre,
sentative Woods is conservative and
that the republicans Will carry the.
House by eighteen.
There are ninety democratic districts
throughout the United States where
good chance of getting majorities. and
the committee thinks they can make
big dents in at least thirty.
Where Districts Are Located.
These districts are in the following
states: Rhode Island, New York, Ohio.
Missouri. Kansas. Indiana, Illinois,
South Dakota, Oklahoma, California,
Nebraska, Iowa and Washington.
The New York republican congress
sional headquarters predicts big vote
against Representative Clyde Tavenner
in Illinois. MIR. Tavenner comes from
a district where there are large muni-
tion plants, and his well known fight
against what he called the munitions
trust" has not pleased his district. ac-
cording to reports.
Another democrat for whom the re-
publican campaign men have been
Buchanan of Illinois, who is now under
indictment in New York for conspiracy
in connection with alleged violations

him. and believe they will defeat him.

citizens in the submarine attack on the

from Queenstown today by American
Consul Frost, contain possibilities OF
reviving the submarine issue between
the United States and Germany.
InveStigat tion. officials realize m:ty
disclose that there has been no viola
tion of German pledges to the United
States.
Nevertheless, the first reports, incom-
plete and transmitted by the American
consul as provisional" caused some
uneasiness.
May Have Forfeited Immunity.
The report on the destruction of the
Marina refers to the ship as Brit
ish horse transport" If ii turns out
that she was in fact in the transport
service of the British government it
may be found that the mixed crew of
British and American horse tenders
could claim none of the immunity
against attack without warning that
attaches to Alerchant ship.
Orders were dispatched at once to
gather all information to determine the
status of the Marina and her crew. 4
Although no American lives were lost
in the submarine attack on the Rowan
more, and the ship altered her own
status If she made an attempt to es-
cape, officials were disturbed by the
report that the boats were shelled after
they had cleared from the abandoned
ship. The facts are expected to be de-
termined By an investigation, which
was ordered begun at once.

Fighting Wave of Sentiment.

The national mana nagement has been
buttressed by the presence of several
of the elder statesmen of the party
with regulations for skill and judg-
ment. Thoroughly alive to the wave
try for President Wilson, they will
seek to stem it by pointing out the
essential differences between the two
political parties and urging the voters
to dissociate personalities.
The democrats are counting upon
their candidates personality to sweep
their party to victory, along with their
popular appeals to labor and all that
sort of thing.
One fact which causes concern is the
republicans who say they will vote
for President Wilson while supporting
their state and local tickets. 1t is diff
cult to account for this, except upon
the ground of reaction against the per-
sonal attacks upon the chief executive
President Benefits by Attacks.
1t may be the sportsman trait in hu-
man character which gives credit to
one who is making fight against odds,
but there is no doubt in the minds of
some of the political observers that the
attacks upon the President have
reacted to his benefit.
In this state, as an instance. there are
fairly good Indications that Gov. Whit
mans vote may exceed Mr.. Hughes !;
that some republicans may vote for
Wilson and Whitman.
The democratic optimism is some
thing Wonderful to behold. The repub-
1ican confidence is of sterner stuff
The democrats fairly bubble with hope,
while the republicans, with set lips, say
wait and see" In point Of fact both
groups are doing lot of graveyard
whistling. The republicans are now
York of the thoroughness which char

Coach Hudson Announces That Hous.

Game Is Important One.

Probably the football game sched-

tween the Allen Academy team and
the Houston High School team will be
the best prep game in this part of the
state this season. The Allen Acad.
emy team has lost only one game this
season, this being to the Rice scrubs,
and this is also the only team which
has whipped the Houston highs, and
the game Monday will settle the cham.
pionship between the two. It is
thought the Houston boys have a little
edge over the home team provided the
dope works out right. The Rice boys
whipped the Allen boys pretty bad,
while they made one touchdown on
the Houston highs. The academy
team. however. according to Coach
Hudson, Is In much better condition
than when they played Rice and they
expect to go into the game for a hard

UNITED STATES
HAS NEW JOB
Uncle Sam Has Thrust Upon Him the
Big Job Of Rescuing Boys Who
Enlist In European War.
(By Associated press)

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 15.-Of the
many unexpected duties the United
States has found thrust upon 1t by the
world war one OF the strangest is that
of rescuing adventurous boys who en-.
list In the European armies.
There have been more than a thou.
sands such cases since the war began,
and even now letters praying for the
release Of young soldiers of fortune
pour in the state department at the
rate Of fifty day. It has been neces-
sary to assign an official to give spe.
cial attention to the subject.
The story is almost always tn
same. The youngster, generally b,
tween 16 and 20, suddenly disappear
and is next heard from when he writes
home from Canada or England that
he has had enough of war and wants
to come home.
Then follows an almost tornado.like
correspondence in which officials, pa.
rents, congressman and persons who
think they can hurry the processes OF
diplomacy by their influence become
sympathetic, fearful, importunate OF
mandatory. The red tape OF govern
mental business, however, unwinds
slowly and finally the consul general
iin London or Ottawa, or somewhere
else, or perhaps the American EN-
bassy. makes representations to the
foreign government and the adven
turer is released and sent home.
Until recently the British govern
ment has been promptly releasing all
Americans under 21 on the request oi
the United States government on the
ground that It is illegal for such a
/ person to enlist In a foreign army
without parents consent. Recently
the British government has shown a
disposition to reduce the age limit tc
IS. when minors become Of age in a
military sense.
