GERMAN EMPEROR
 SPURS HIS ARMY
 ON WITH SPEECH
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

BERLIN, Oct 15. CVia London)- During his visit to the eastern front last week. Emperor William told the troops of General von Eben that their two slogans should be he shall not get through and he must be beaten" Following is the emperor's speech:
 Not far from your ranks the bat tie is raging and we hear a cannon shot now and then. I had the priv ilege of receiving deputations from the troops, who, in hard fighting against great odds, won glory and did a great service to the fatherland. It is for me duty and an honor to express the most profound and most cordial thanks on behalf of the fatherland that you. along with your Austro- Hungarian comrades in arms have held your ground so bravely.
 When you again move against the enemy take with you these two slo- gans: First He shall not get through. /" and second. he must be beaten We are fighting for a just cause Every one of you knows why you are risking your life, but many of the enemy know not why they fight Numbers do not impress you and l am convinced that you will show yourselves just as plucky in the future as in the past.
 Let the enemy crush his head against a wall of iron. God help you in this great work
 In a speech to the troops under General Won Boehm- Ermolli, the em- peror said:
 We are all convinced that we are fighting in good cause and we have the confidence that the good Lord of hosts will help us to victory"

 BERLIN. Oct. Is (via London, Oct. l6l--The German government has al- ready made plans for the transition of Germany's industries from a war to a reace basis. pr. Karl Helfferich. the vice chancellor. yesterday addressed the budget committee of the reichstag at length on the situation, saying the transition would be made under the governments participation and super vision.
 A special imperial commissioner has been appointed to take charge of the task. Attached to the interior depart ment of the ministry. he will be as- sisted by a large advisory committee of men selected from all departments of business. with the function of examin- ing and giving expert opinion on all proposed economic measures He will recommend methods for mobilizing credits. enlarging and distributing the labor supply and substituting men for women and girls now doing mans work and replenishing stocks of raw materials.
 Dr. Helfferich indicated that the committee would have some sort of control over imports with a view to keeping foreign exchange rates within safe limits. so as to protect the gold basis and Germany's currency system. He further said that the committee was not intended as a permanent or ranization but that it would disband as soon as its task had been per- formed
 The representatives of all the parties expressed themselves as in accord with pr. Helfferich's program. Only the sO- cialists demanded that many of the or Eanizations and methods created for war purposes must be permanently retained.

 OAKLAND. Cal, Oct. 15,-Before large audience here tonight, Allan l..

Benson said he sent President Wilson message several weeks ago asking him for an explanation of his reason for signing The ill but so far had received no reply He declared that the president was attempting to evade the issue be- cause it was one of paramount inn portance to the people of the couu- try. who is said, are opposed to draft measures.
 Benson declared his belief that the socialist vote this year would be in the neighborhood of 100000 and that this number was of sufficient signifi- Clnce Co force the repeal of the draft clause.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Japanese and Russian protests against the lat est American railway enterprise in China may become a diplomatic sub ject eventually, but there is no inn mediate prospect of the government becoming concerned unless the American interests affected shoud ask aid or contend that their rights as Americans are being infrineed
 Dispatches from Picking today in dicated that protests were being made against the location of the pro- posed American built line through the territory in which Russia and Japan claim special interests by prior concessions.
 Inasmuch as the location of the American line has not been chosen and the contract makes provision for location in case such a protest should he encountered, there is a possibility that a solution may be found between the parties themselves without the intervention of the state department, which up to the present has not been identified in any way with the project.
 The government does not fee called upon tc step in at this stage because the American Internationa Corporation secured it's concession from China entirely upon it's owr negotiations and let the contract fol the railroad building to the Stems. Carey company of St. Paul, Minn There were no guarantees for th' loan from the Chinese government

the entente powers. In military cir cles. a further occupation of Russian territory by another German offensive is thought highly feasibly. linden burg's elevation to chief of the gen eral staff of the German army has revived assertions that during the win ter, there will be another Russian cam paign.
 To conclude peace that will not be made at it's own cost, the central pow CTS feel that their armies must retain their present proportionate strengths and efficiency-that their losses must not be greater in proportion than those of the entente forces. Before the British millions had appeared on the scene there was always the vague fear that things might go wrong, once they took their place. But the Somme operations have shown that while the British millions have been of much help to the French, their coming has not been decisive.
 It is argued now that with the large British forces assimilated in the mili- tary ensemble and with the Rumanian army a known quantity, further con- sessions worth while can come to the entente only. from it's population growth as more men will reach mili- tary age. This quality is not peculiar to the central allied states. About eighteen per thousand of the popula- = tion's males reach military age annu- ally, which would mean that Germany can count on yearly reserve of 630, 00t young men, Austria Hungary about
 360,000. Bulgaria 52,000 and Turkey 170,000.
 Superannuation and losses in tho | field will more than swallow these figures, but this is equally true of tho entente's men crop.

It is declared by those on the train that the crew of the sec ond section had failed to put out tor pedoes or lights to warn the train fol- lowing, and that the headlight on the engine pulling the third section had gone out. No one was aware of the danger until the third section was within few yards of the rear end of the second. The engineer reversed his engine and did what he could to lessen the impact, but he could not stop. sur vivorS said.
 The heavy stock train damned into the train ahead, driving the way-car under a car of cattle. The twenty one men on the floor of the caboose were jammed into a space of less than four feet in width and this was partly filled with wreckage.

Before the night train over the Arizona Eastern was allowed to cross the bridge over the Gila river last night, an engine hauling two cars heavily 7 loaded with sand. slowly crossed the structure to determine whether or not it was safe as a result of the increased rise of the river.
 Men with lanterns crossed and re- crossed the trestle closely examining all of the piling ahead of the slowly travelling train as an added precau- tionary measure.
 Passengers, who feared the crossing, were gathered on the rear platform of the train prepared to jump in event of an accident.

It was the first time England had ad- mtted Japan and Russias special interests in Manchuria.
 Japan and Russia, having thwarted the 2eutralization plan, then turned their attention, with the active sup port of France and England, to the original Cbinchow-A Aigun plan itself The Japanese minister at Peking in formed China that "the consent of my government must first be obtained before any railroad extension" is made and called attention to the

SOFIA, Oct l5 (via London, Oct. 16). The repulse of strong Serbian attacks in the Monastir sector is reported in an official statement issued by the war office today. The text of the state ment follows:
 "A strong enemy attack with about one division against the 1cctor between the Monastir road and the railway was repulsed with heavy losses. The at tack was twice repeated during the night with heavy enemy losses. East of the railway an attempt by enemy in- fantry to advance was frustrated by our artillery.
 "On the Cerna there were stubborn battles but all attacks were repulsed with hand grenades. In the Moglenica valley there were the usual artillery fires. Feeble enemy attacks against the heights south of Targovo and Ba- hova hill and the summit of Buyuk Fash were repulsed. On both banks of the Vardar there was feeble artillery fire. There was calm at the foot of the Belaschitiza mountains. There was local artillery fire and patrol fighting on the Struma. On the Rumanian front the situation is unchanged"
