MISS O'BRIEN, JILTE|D, WON'T
 SUE MANNING
Not Seeking Revenge, She Says, But There Is, Jus
 tice In Heaven"

New York. Dec. 21.-Redress and revenge arc not to figure in Honora Mayo Brien's shattered romance. All though tilted by John B. Manning. the ,S3 year old banker, just before her wedding. she denied yesterday that she would demand monetary solace. < "I have known how to take care of myself in the past; I can do so in the future without having recourse to the Jaw courts"
 Miss O'Brien said proudly. Then she added gently:
 ''There is no malice in my heart. I bear MT. Manning no animosity for the injustice that has been done. I would mot demean myself by starting law suits. If MT. Manning was not inclined to marry me, I would not be petty nor would bring force to bear upon him.
 "However, there is justice in heaven and believe firmly in that If have been wronged, things will be lighted. ward that end. That will be my re- venge although revenge is not what I seek.''
 On Verge of Break Down
 Miss O'Brien leaned back weakly i,s her chair The ordeal through which she has lived, has brought her on the verge of a nervous breakdown. She Is staying with her friends, Amy and Gladys O'Connor, at 52s Riverside Drive. The young girl, who should have been Mir. Mannings bride on m Al f111J f0 val sf1 O steadied herself and did not nose her boise for a moment. She was un- willing to discuss her affair with MT. Manning, urging that after all, it was her private affair.
 "Our understanding is at an end," she ventured. "It is a closed chapter in my life. Nothing further has hap- pened since the day that should have been our wedding day.
 HPeop1e can say nothing worse about me than they have already said. Therefore I don't feel that I need say anything in my behalf.
 II When asked whether she had re- cefved any communication from MT. Manning since the fateful Tuesday there was pause. Her friend, Amy O'Connor, showed traces of embar- rassment, and Miss O'Brien finally sald sine preferred not to answer.
 Explains Visit to Lawyer.
 Since Miss O'Brien intends to seek no legal redress it appeared strange that she should have sought advice of an attorney. John Jerome Rooney. She explained in this fashion:
 When found myself thwarted at every turn, had to turn to someone for advice. It was not with the in- tsntion Of entering lawsuit against Mir. Manning that I went to MT. Rooney, but in sheer desperation. I am ali alone in this city, save for my friends here-the O'connors. want cd my position explained when I Eound myself deserted.

CuredH His RUPTURE.

I was badly ruptured while lifting trunk several years ago. Doctors said nay only hope of cure was an op- eration. Trusses did me no good. Finally I got hold of something that quickly and completely cured me. Years have passed and the rupture has never returned, although I am doing hard work as carpenter. There was no operation, no lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will give full information about how you may find complete cure without operation, if you write to me, Eugene M. Pullen, Carpenter, 40 c, Marcellus Avenue, @Manasquan, N. J. Better cut out this notice and show it to any others who are ruptured-you may save life or at least stop the misery of rupture and the worry and danger of an operation.

 At the suggestion that MT. Man ming had settled a small fortune upon her before the wedding, Miss O'Brien f1ared up indignantly.

 Manning Back in Wall St.
 An alert, gray-haired 2old man, with the eyes of an Indian fighter, alighted yesterday from the elevator, at the second floor of the building at No. 2 Wall street
 With darting glance to right and left he hurried down the corridor and entered Room No. 6. In a mo- ment he was ensconced at his old fashioned desk and was plunging in- to mass of correspondence.
 John Bernard Manning was him. self again!
 Wall street was more alluring than lovers lane for the octogenarian fance-that-was.
 "Of course Miss O'Brien has a splendid case,'' said John Jerome Rooney. T expect to see her again in a day or two and afterward may have an interesting announcement Until then there is nothing I can say"
 MT. Rooney denied any pre-nuptial agreement had been signed or even drawn up. This was also denied at the Manning home, No. 81 Riverside Drive.
 "Mr. Manning will have nothing more to say. The incident is closed" declared member of the family.

Exciting Campaign Being Waged - Tremendous Feeling Among
 the People.
ON PLATFORM
Anzac Divisions Below Strength-DraftS Are
 Insufficient to
 Fill Ranks.

SYDNEY, N. s. w.. Oct. 20.
 Tremendous feeling has been arous- ed throughout the Commonwealth by thc conscription campaign. Meet. ing5 for and against are being held nightly in almost every town and hamlet Premier Hughes is yigor. ously endeayorlug to obtain votes in favor of the measure which is be. ing put to the electorate by means of a referendum.
 The cause Of ccmpp sory~ service has gained ground greatly since General Haig's message was made public yesterday The British com. manderln-chiee appeals to the pride of Australians in their own troops The Australian divisions. he says, have fought splendidly and their heroic efforts will live in 'history. These, however, cannot be contin- ued unless their strength is kept up and they are now far below their proper numbers. Meanwhile the drafts arriving are not enough to make good the wastage The sue cess Of Ae past few months, he concludes, justify cbsclutc conf dence in the power Of the Allies to gain final victory That, how. eyer will not be won yet awhile. To complete the work end secure an enduring peace the utmost ef- forts Of the Allies and the Empire are required for a long time to come. Sir Douglas expresses the hope that strong drafts will be dis patched as soon as possible and the strength of the divisions in France maintained.

GILL SAYS WILSON WILL WIN
 IN WASHINGTON

A letter from a leading lawyer of the State of Washington, received in the last mail, says that there is no longer any question in the minds of the people of that State but that President Wilson will get the electoral votes of Washington in the next election, and that the reelection of the President is gem erally conceded. The writer quotes a conversation which he had with Mayor Hiram c. Gill on the day the letter was written in which he said that the Mayor of Seattle. himself leading Republican and supporter of Hughes, said that Will son would carry the State by 1O,- 900. "The Hughes campaign has collapsed; blown up.' said Mayor Gill. The letter said that others expected to see Wilson have 5O,O00 in Washington and to car " Oregon.
 The letter also predicts the elec- tion of Gov, Lister, and adds that the Wilson landslide is likely to car ry with it the entire Democratic State ticket, including several Con- gressmen.

prate about tne Womtlon Of Bel gIum's neutrality discover nothing in his speeches to offend their delicate Possibilities concerning the national honor.
 Apparently he has no affirmative opinions of anything. He is a candi' date of negation.
 Take the question of Belgum's neutrality. Does Hughes indorse Col. Roosevelts protest about the violation Of Belgiums neutrality? The Colonel, you know hasn't chang ed on this question. He has careful ly concealed the fact, yet by his smiling silence and his eyasiye speeches he has sought not to offend Col. Roosevelt and those who agree with him.
 conesals Embargo Position
 The same thing is true with Mir. Hughes regarding the agitation for an embargo on arms and ammuni- tion. If Hughes favors an embargo ne uha CdlcAuAlg COANGaAcu tlie AANtf though by his speeches he has sought not to dlsplease the infuenc- es that are interested in tho cmbar- go propaganda.
 The influences behind the aglta- ton for an embargo of munitions are no less active today than during the last session of Congress. The question is not dead it isn't sleep ing 2, is a question in which the American people feel a deep inter est.
 If Hughes should be elected, will he favor the passage of legislation placing an embargo on arms and ammunition? As have said, the agitation for legislation of this sort is very much alive and the influenc- es behind it are very active in try ing to elect Congressman to do their bidding, Win Hughes, if he is elected President favor an em. bargo legislation, passed by Con. gress or approve it?

 At a meeting held in our hall June 9th, 1916, all members being present motion made, onded unanimously carried to give Senator Charles A. Sulzer the Alaska Legislature, our entire port for Delegate to Congress.
 Mr. suzer has been resident here for the past fourteen years Until the last year he gener- al manager for the Alaska Industrial Company but since last year he has operated the mines himself lessee During all these fourteen years has proved himself true friend of Labor
 He gave the eghthour day of his own free will in 1902 upon starting operations in Alaska, and this was long before anyone else had the rule in Alaska. He has always paid the highest wages in this District given everybody square deal and treat ed everybody a There is not man who ever worked in Senator Sulzers camp who will not speak of him in the highest terms, and we know from long observation that he has the qualifications to ably represent in Congress.
 The foregoing are only few of the main facts of Mr. Sulzers character which have endeared him to the workers so we wish you to rally to his sup port obstacle in the way for his election for Delegate to Congress from Alaska
 With best wishes to you we remain
