NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The Repub-

attention to correspondence between
Edgar II. Laverty Of this city and
Woodrow Wilson Immediately after
the bnccalaureate address Of Presi-
dent Wilson before the graduating
class OF Princeton University in 1903.
in which Mr., Wilson said:
You know what the usual stand-
ard OF the employe is in our day. It
Is TO give as little as he may for his
wages. Labor is standardized by the
trndes-unlons, and this Is the stand
ard TO which 1t Is made to conform.
No one il suffered to do more than
tho average workman can do: in some
trades and handlcrarts no one is suf-

DISGUSTING WEAKNESS
OF PRESIDENT WILSON
with His Shown Selfish
ness Too Much for Patri-
otto Democrats.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-William B.
Anderson, one of the most prominent
members of the New York bar. and
lifelong Democrat, has enrolled in the
national Hughes alliance. In his let
ter joining the alliance, Mr.. Anderson
wrote that he had always voted the
Democratic national ticket except
when Bryan ran against Mckinley. He
voted for Wilson in 1912. THE CON
victlon has been growing in me very
strongly during the last year" he said,
that we can no longer look for disin-
terested motives in Mr.. Wilson's offlc-
ial acts. His vacillating, uncertain,
weak Mexican policy, his attitude first
against and then for, then again
against honest preparedness is not in
dictative OF man OF principle acting
with a mind single for his country's
good, but rather Of man seeking the
easiest way out Of difficulties, afraid
TO decide lest he might offend one body
Of citizens OF another, a man unable to
make strong friends and yet seemingly
fearful OF making enemies, always
self conscious and viewing all public
questions chiefly from the standpoint
Of their relation to himself And then
at the last comes the browning positive
proof OF his weakness and self-interest,
his settlement" God save the mark,
of the controversy. A man who hands
over his own property under bare
threat is bad enough but one who
turns over some millions of dollars
belonging to other people under like
circumstances is not the type that
have learned to admire nor do believe
that any honest man even among those
who benefited by his act will respect
him for It. His attempt to disguise the
real nature Of his act by juggling with
the words eight hour day is wholly
Of his intellectual ability

FRENCH TROOPS ARE ABOUT
TO CAPTURE THE VAUX FORT
As They Are Following Up as
Fast as They Can Advan-
tages Gained in Sweep.
GERMANS REACT SLOWLY
Reports of French Casualties at
Hand Show Them to Be
Very Light.

PARIS. Oct. 26.-The French
troops at Verdun are following up
as fast as they can the advantage
gained by their sudden forward
sweep on Tuesday and according to
the latest information have closed
In to within less than 500 yards OF
Vaux fort. Announcement OF the
capture is momentarlly expected
here, thus completely restoring the
French line held on February IS.
The German forces at Verdun are
reacting 30 slowly and with such
apparent lack of strength that in the
opinion of French military men they
no longer possess a general reserve
but are obliged to withdraw men
from one section OF the front to rein
force another section in case Of
need.
Reports OF the casualties, which
are now in hand, show the French
losses were very light indeed, con-
sidreably less than the number OF
prisoners taken and large proper
ton OF them was OF cases in which
the men were slightly wounded.
Considerable material was cap
tured. The Germans had massed
guns of callbers in the Ravine of
Death, all of which fell into the
hands of the French.
The three lieutenant generals,
who under the command OF General
Mangin led the attacking divisions,
were all lieutenant colonies at the
outbreak OF the war and had been
singled oud by General Joffre for
promotion on account OF their tech
nical ability. energy and initiative.
