 Tn four of the dry states battles
 are being waged by the vets to modify, weaken or destroy the dry laws now in force, and in three of Washington, Oregon and Arizona-the drys are endeavoring to strengthen the laws they already have.

LONG BRANCH, N. d., Oct. r. Returning from the middle west, President Wilson today appealed to independent voters to support the democratic party in November on the ground that it presents a united front for the passage of progressive legis- lation.
 Criticizing the "old guard of the republican party. the president by in ference attacked both Charles F. Hughes and Theodore Roosevelt and declared that while every line of his national policy has been assailed mo diagrams have been drawn Of any other" MT. Wilson charged that the "old guard was in control of the last republican convention.
 The president spoke to a delegation of progressiVes. independents and col iege men who marched to Shadow Lawn with a band playing while they sang a song with the refE'i in: Hes kept us out of war
 MT Wilson was introduced by Pro- lessor Irving Fisher of Yale. a mem Der of the Roosevelt eontervation commission. and Hugh Gordon Miller. New York progressive. In the dele eation also was the Wilson guard, !" made up of former football stars. President Wilson's speech was In part as follows:
 We are indeed at a critical june 1 ture in the affairs of the world. ana | the affairs of the world touch Amer 1 lea very nearly. She does not stand apart. Her people are made up of the ! reoples of the world Her sympathies are as broad as the extended stocks of national governments. There ie , nothing human that does not concern ! her. And in the midst of this situa- tion We are about to determine whether We shall change the line of our national policy. Every line ol
 that national policy has been quesr toned, but no diagrams have been drawn of any other: every one Of the lines handsomely projected in the last three and a half years has been ques- tioned and condemned.
 Fortunately the lines of this cam paign have recently been becomine very clear indeed. The choice Is 8

RUMORS FLOATED AGAIN
 BY SUBMARINE
Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Official de- niaIs from all sides fail to down the persistent reports that Ambassador Gerard, returning from Berlin. is bring ing word from Emperor William asking President Wilson's intercession for peace.
 Despite the fact that Count von Bernstoraff, the German ambassador, has stated he knows positively that Mir. Gerard is coming on no such mis- sion and the state department was moved today by the persistency of the story 10 issue an official denial. it cir culates widely in official and diplomatic circles and was seriously discussed as a possibility.
 The dramatic arrival of the German war submarine U-53 at Newport. with dispatches for Count von Bernstorff just before he has an audience with President Wilson on Monday, served to add color to the circumstantial chain of events. The German embassy tonight disclaimed any knowledge uf the nature of tie dispatch. or the mission of the submarine in American waters State department offW lals is.ued this statement in regard to the rumor: we ! have no reason to believe there is any thing in it and every reason to believe | there IS nothing III It,
 | Adding to this they declare that when 1 Mir. Gerard left Berlin for Copenhagen | he only intended to say good bye tC Mrs. Gerard who was sailing for home and at the last hour determined to ac- company her when he received instruc- 1 tions from Washington to take his va cation.
 The only tangible element connected with the story is a complete set o1 denials Still it has been pieced to- gether from a chain of consecutive events in such a way that it is giver a measure of credence both in Europe and the United States.
 Ore possibility that stands out is 1 that President Wilson himself, may | know some reason for Mir. Gerard's home coming that is not known to tho state department or the German am f bassadOr.
 Soon after the war broke out anC President Wilson sent formal offers O mediation to the belligerents, officia intimation came from both sides that any diside interference would be re sented. All the reports to the presiden | from the American ambassadors anC from his personal envoy, Colonel F, | M. House, who went abroad to survey the situation bore out that position anC soon afterward it was made known a the White House on various occasion! when peace movements were presented 1 by individuals that President Wilson | did not thing the time Opportune fo 1 another peace offer.
