general strike and that all overtures to arbitrate their demands would be declined, a MT. AdamsOn, a member of congress blandly but confidently de- clared that there would be no strike. How did he know that democratic president and a democratic congress had already agreed with the brother hoods to give them just such law Tn exchange for their votes provided that this deal should be held off until a week or so prior to the Maine election?
 If the Adamson bill was a question put up to the labor vote of Maine, they gloriously answered it and in due course of time the other states will answer it in the same manner. The brotherhoods of the railroads got what they wanted when they wanted it, and the democratic administration, desper ate to be reelected, instead of calling the brotherhoods bluff, laid down full house, in fact two full houses, to their bob-tail flush.'
 In commenting on the democratic lullaby, "Wilson has kept us out of war" MT. Estabrook called the atten- ton of the audience to the fact that so could Washington have done, by surrendering to the British at Valley Forge, also Lincoln by surrendering to the south during our civil war. When they say he has kept us out of war with Mexico, just say, Tell that to the marines who landed from our ships at Vera Cruz
 His remark that the soldiers on the border did not know what they were here for nor did anyone else know what they were here for, but that they came obviously to avenge the outrages per pertated on American men, women and ahil n MaXIPn hnrdpT brought round after round of applause from the many members of Ae Four teenth United States Infantry, sta toned here who were among the audience. And when he added that after MT. Hughes was elected on No vember 7th, they would know in twenty -four hours whether to march home or to Mexico City the applause was deafening.

French troops fighting south of the Somme have bent German lines con- siderably over a front of about two and a half miles from Bovent to the Chaulnes wood, capturing fin the opera ton the village, the north and west outskirts of Ablaincourt and most of the Chaulnes wood. Little activity was shown on the British front
 In Pennsylvania the Germans are closely pressing the retreating Ruma- nians. In the fighting around Kron- stadt 1,175 Rumanians were made prisoners. The Galician village of Herbutow has been stormed by the Germans, and in Volhynia the Russians have been driven out of advanced po- sitions northwest of Lutsk.
 Along the Struma river in Greek Macedonia, the forces of the Teutonic powers have evacuated ChaYGar Nah. Ormanli and HaznaIar Northwest of Seres the British have taken from the Bulgarians the towns of Kalendra and Homonoos. Berlin says that along the Cerna river, where the entente all lies have been making progress. all allies have been surprised.

 BALTIMORE. Oct. 1O.-Charles F. Hughes, speaking in the great armory here where Woodrow Wilson first was nominated for the presidency, tonight assailed MT Wilson's policy toward the promotion of american trade abroad, and replied to published statements of Dr. Charles w. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard, en- dorsing the presidents policy.
 pr Eliot piecres the heart of the matter" MT. Hughes said and he finds that the record of the admin istration means this: mo interven- tion by force of arms to protect on foreign soil American commercial and manufacturing adventurers who. of their own free will have invested their money or risked their lives in foreign parts under alien jurisdiction,
 Think of the import of that you who represent the best genius of the world and are thinking of using it abroad" MT Hughes said.
 Think of that, you. who it is sug- gested are to be asked to finance the chief undertakings of the world. Think of that, merchants, salesmen, tellers, clerks and dealers, who in serving the world take you place remote from your friends and safe guards in communities where revolu- tions are frequent and only respect for your flag and the power it symbol izes may stand between you and ruin or even death"
 MT Hughes read the democratic platform plan of 1912 declaring for the protection of American rights abroad. and asqed if it were "molasses to catch flies He declared that the protection it promised had been de- liberately and deplorable refused. He quoted from a recent speech of the president outlining the administra- tion's ideas with respect to the de- velopment abroad of American en- teprise and asserted that it was i'm possible to square the fine words now used with the actions of the administration.
 Dollar diplomacy" MT Hughes said, "was what encouragement to the development of American inter ests abroad was dubbed something shochingly reprehensible.'
 Tn consequence I may say" the {, nominee added that in respect to American interests abroad we have l had not only diplomacy without dol
 
 During the past three years and a half one would suppose that any American who went to foreign lands to advance American industry and i commerce was presumably bad fel- low. who had lost his rights. Why not? Why, didn't he go abroad to make money? Didn't he take his American enterprise beyond our bor- ders? What a shameless thing. Let his como home. That is the sort of encouragement Americans have had We now hear fine words as to our duty to the world. We are told that we are now to serve the world
 that we have the best genius in the world, but we have never thought
 of using that genius outside our own markets It Is said that we may

 LONG BRANCH, N. J., Oct. TO- - President Wilson and Secretary of State Lansing discussed in detail to- night the German submarine attacks on merchantmen on Sunday off the New England coast The conference lasted until late tonight and will be continued tomorrow.
 lt was indicated by officials today that the facts so far collected through governmental agencies have disclosed no grounds for drastic action by the United States government because of the attacks themselves. No evidence has been found that international law was violated by the German submersi- hle. lt was understood that the presi- dent and secretary discussed the wis dom of pointing out to Germany the inadvisability of operating her subma- rines in proximity to the territorial waters of the United States.
 Administration officials took the po- sition that the continuance of subma . rine warfare so close to America & shores was fraught with grave danger because Of the possibility of mistakes being made by submarine commanders reports that strong sentiment exists m 1efmany for the resumption of sub marine warfare on a broader scale caused some alarm among officials.
 The announcement of Counsellor Polk Of the state department in Washington today that the United States will refuse to accept the contention of the entente allies that neutrals should deny the use Of their harbors to all submarines, pre-. ceded the arrival of Secretary Lansing here The president and the secretar, went over this point in connection witt the discussion of the entire issue.

 LONDON, Oct. 10.-The British of ficial press bureau tonight issued the following: The following statement is placed at the disposal of the press for publications:
 Tn the house of commons on June 27 last the secretary of state for the home department stated that attention had been drawn to an alleged telegram relating to the Jutland battle which appeared in certain American news papers as having been sent from Lon don by the correspondent of the Inter- national News Service. No such mes sage was included in any telegram sent from this country.
 "The home secretary referred on the same occasion to previous cases in which messages which purported to be from the London correspondent of the International News Service bore no likeness to the cablegrams actually despatched.
 "On the first occasion referred to, the manager of the International News Service in New York gave categorical assurance that such an incident should not happen again. On the second occasion he made like promises, stating that orders had been given that ex- traneous statements should not be in- serted in able dispatches.
 "On the third of September cable grams were published in the United States purporting to have come from London by the International News Service giving various false statements about the air raid of the previous night. None of the statements in question was in fact contained in any cablegram dis patched by the London correspondent of the International News Service.
 Tn view of this continued garbling of messages and breach of faith on the part of the International News Service the secretary of state has directed that no representative of the International News Service shall be permitted to use the official press bureau and that the agency shall be debarred from the use of all other facilities for the trans mission of news until further notice'

 WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. - The American memorandum on use of neutral waters by belligerent subma- rines. the text of which vas made public by the state department to- night declares the allies have failed to show why such vessels should be denied entrance to neutral ports and that no circumstances have been set forth rendering the usual provisions of international law applicable to underwater craft. The United States reserves complete liberty of action in dealing with belligerent submarines.
 No specific mention of the Deutsch- land is made in the memorandum, although the allied communication is understood to have been prompeted by the failure of the United States to consider that vessel as having no characteristics making her status different from that of the ordinary merchantmen.
 Surprise is expressed that there appears to be no endeavor on the part of the allied powers to determine the rule of action" in respect to the ilse of submarines, and at the sug- gesti0n that there is great danger in permitting neutral submarines to visit waters that may be visited by 5elli"erent submarines. The govern ment declares that responsibility for any conflict that may arise between | belliSerent warships and neutral sub marines on account of the neglect of a beiligerent to so distinguish between l these classes of submarines must rest entirely upon the negligent powers" ! The memorandum, originally sent | to France, Great Britain, Russia and | Iapan on August q, in reply to their identical memorandum of August 22: later was sent also to Italy and to Portugal. While the allied communi- cation was published some time ago, the American reply was not given 1 out till today. when the recent U- boat activities seemed to make 2 public statement of the government s position imperative.
