An especially furious combat pre-

NEW U-BOAT PROBLEM
A Submarine Convoy Would Change
Aspect of Deutschland.

Washington, Nov. 4-Washington
officials were today somewhat puzzled
as to the status of the Deutschland,
should reports that the U-boat will be
ing submarine prove correct
Belief was expressed in some quar-
tiers that if the two submarines should
act in concert. 1t would greatly
strengthen the British contention that
submarines are always to be held in
suspicion as vessels of warlike char
acter. There was no doubt, it was
SAID, that the British would hold the
joining of the submarines to be prima
facia evidence of warlike intention.
The unarmed U-boats, it was pointed
out, posing as peaceful merchant
man, could, thru her ability to escape
detection give valuable assistance to
the warship. .
Stors Not Officially Confirmed
Washington, Nov. 4.-Reports that
the Deutschland will be conveyed back
to Germany by the war submarine
U-57 have not been confirmed here of
uclal1y and in some quarters such a
step Is regarded as improbable as it
has been cOntended that a conyoyed
ship takes on the warlike charac ter
of her convoy and cannot claim the
immunities of peaceful merchant
man.
Whether the visit of a second war
submarine might be taken by the state
department as offering opportunity to
request Germany not to conduct bel
dgerent operations in the immediate
neighborhood of the American coast
is in the hands of Secretary Lansing,
who will be at his home at Water
town, N. Y, until after election.
| Germans Admit 1t.
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE German
embassy today, declaring it has no
knowledge of a purpose to furnish a
fighting submarine convoy for the
merchantmen submarine Deutschland
on her return trip. agreed that such a
convoy would take away the Deutsch-
| lands status as a peaceful merchant
man. This is a well recognized prin-
ciple of international law, officials al

At the British embassy officials said
if the Deutschland is met by a convoy

undoubtedly supply that vessel with

move her. peaceful character.

Feminine Candidate Running

New York, Nov. 4.-Official lists of
candidates of recognized parties for
the congressional and state elections
coincident with the presidential voting
on November show that there will
be at least two women running for
congress and more than two score
women in the contest for state offices,
ranging from governor down.
In Montana, Jeanette Rankin is
the regular Republican nominee foI
congress and in Colorado, Hattie K.
Howard is running on Progressive
ticket.
The Associated Press has just COM
piled all of the state tickets from ev-
cry state in the Union and it appears
| from these lists that there are exactly
forty-six women candidates for vari-
Gus state offices. This figure may be

DEMOCRATS ARE

Schlichter Democrats deny any in
terest in Larimer's prosecution.
The Democrats are also claiming the
election of A. A. Rulings as county
clerk over Kenneth Raub. Raub had
hard fight for the nomination and
still has opposition in some RepubH
can quarters, but the average Repub
lican expresses no doubt as to his
election. But because of this disaf-
lection Democrat managers say Rid
ings will win.
The Democrats are basing their
claims in the Thirty-fifth representa-
tive district upon Robert Stones ae-
tivity in the gas litigation and in the
grain business. They hold that suf-
fieient number of town people will
vote against him because of the gas
matter and a sufficient number of
farmers because of grain matters to
elect his Democrat opponent. H. c.
Stevens. Republican managers ex-
press no fear of Robert Stones re-
election as member of the house.
The fourth real fight in Shawnee
county is in the Third commissioner
district where H. w McAfee. Repub-
lican, is running against j. G. e. Pin
ney. There was hard fight in that
district before the primary and it was
not until the last few votes were
counted that it was certain McAfee
had been nominated by the Republi-
cans. The Democrats are counting
upon that to assist in the election of
Pinney
The Democrats are casting longing
eyes at the office of clerk of the court
where their candidate, w. F. Logan. is
running against Mrs. Mary E. Chaplin
Mrs. Chaplin looks like an easy win
ner but Democrats say the office is
no place for a woman and that Logan
will be elected for that reason.
No Other Contests
There is no contest worthy OF men,
ton among the other offices. A W.
Dana has no opposition for reelection
as judge of the first division of the
district court, and George H. Whit
comb has no opposition in the second
division. E. A. Campbell. treasurer;
O. +. Narcotic, coroner; j. A. Camp
bell, surveyor; R. NJ. Lee, for Judge of
the court of Topeka, and Douglas

and, secondly, Germany's determine
ton, and apparent ability, to maintain
successful defensive indefinitely
meanwhile hoping to ALLEVIATE one or
more of the allies or to see one or

are preparing to go in their peace de-

Desire Not Based ON Fear.
On the other hand very few persons
in England have guessed or appreciate
Germanys defensive strength and the
false impression is general. that Ger
many's peace desires are predicated on
fear.
Germany will consider no peace now
at any terms the allies would even
mention because what the allies want
now is not peace, but Germany brok-

the allies before any such peace San

hand Germanys only possible chance
of peace on terms even approaching
those with which she is now thinking
depends upon her ability to hold her
enemies at bay.
Neither can promise much for an
