Won't Answer Charge He Rep
resents German-Americans.
Sees in 1t Only Scheme of
Democrats to Involve Him.
STANDS ON FIRM NEUTRALITY
"America to Enforce Rights
as World Power"
Reiterates, "NO Promises or
Intrigues With Anyone"

Pikeville, KY, Oct. 12.-Republican
Candidate Hughes is determined not
to make any answer to the charge that
he represents the German-American
vote. He regards himself as poten-
TALLY president. He holds it his
duty neither by word nor deed to walk
into any trap which shall seem to
commit him, man who may be
chosen in November to dictate Ameri-
cas- position toward the world, to any
specific course of action with regard
to European policies.
The following explanation of the
candidates attitude is presented by
permission today:
When Hughes discusses and con-
dennis the British blacklist, it is fur
Their explained, it is not with the idea
of an animus against Great Britain.
When he hits at the submarine war
fare and the Wilson administration
handling of that issue, he does not
speak with a mind biased against Ger
many. He speaks as one who regards
Americas opportunity, as the greatest
of neutral nations, the most momen-
rous to America herself and to the 9TH
err nations of the world in establish
ing firmly the principles of neutrality.
To those with whom he talked on
the subject, Governor Hughes has
added to this statement of position,
the following:
Adheres 10 Principle.
America must leave no stone I'M
turned to enforce against any nation
her rights as a world power. By SC
doing the United States not only main
tains her own dignity as nation, but
she Establishes more firmly the prin-
ciples of justice contained in interna-
tional law International law, the gov
ernor holds is not a fixed code. 1t is a
collection of principles to which ma
lions subscribe. Those principles be-
come fixed only when some great ma
ton establishes their justice and fair
ness by demand, unflinchingly main
tanned, for their fullest observance. If
the United States can accomplish this
fixation of principles of international
law by holding all nations strictly ac-
countable to the spirit of the now
tionai law, America will have her OPP
portunity to become foremost among
world powers"
No Agreements With Anybody.
The Republican candidate it is said
for him, feels very strongly the deli
cacy of his position as a presidential
candidate in this time when interna-
tional law is in the making He is
extremely resentful of any jockeying
by either fis friends or his political
foes, which attempts to align him with
either the allies or the entente pow
ers. He does not desire in any utter
ance to mention the name of a single
one of the warning powers lest some
incorrect deduction be made from that
mention. But in every speech from
now en- he expects to refterate in en-
phat1c language his diSavowal that he
has any understanding, or agreements
or lntr1gues with anybody.

German Aviators Stay Away.
During the day only two German
aviators appeared. Selling favorable
moments to direct their machine guns
at a French trench. The German fly
ers consistently refused to fight the
French aviators who were constantly
engaged in chasing them back to their
own lines. Soldiers in the first line
trenches said that nothing gave them
greater confidence or a feeling of Sc
curity during a battle than the ability
to always look up and see French sau-
sages and aeroplanes lowering pro-
tectingIy above, undisputed masters OF
the air.
AS we were returning to the rear,
toward dusk, the Germans evidently
were getting ready for the attack
made by the French the next day.
They launched a terrific barrage fire
near Denicourt tho the French made
no effort to attack during the night
and did not leave their trenches until
the following day.

SURE RAISED CAIN?
Women's Party Attempted to Embrace
Democrats at Meeting.

The Women's Party in Kansas
working for the election of Candidate
Hughes did all the damage it could At
the Marshall meeting at the audito-
rum Wednesday night. Miss Marian
DeVilbiss, Miss Edna Hopkins and
Miss Katherine Morey with several
others stood outside the door and pre-
sented the Hughes literature to the
Democrats and Republicans alike as
they stepped from the auditorium.
According to reports given out at
the Women's Party headquarters the
tactics of the out of-state suffragists
almost caused a near panic among the
Democrats. The damage done, how
ever, was not so great as to call for
any attentions being paid to the wom-
ems tactics, on the part of the county
or state committees.

and southwest. the French have ad-
vanced their lines at several points to
within few hundred yards of the inn
portant town of Chaulnes The town
was already seriously menaced by the
French advance on Tuesday. when
German positions were taken on
three mile front. The French are
pocketing it in the same manner in
which the allies drove the Germans
out of Combles.
(Chaulnes- 10 a certain extent holds
the same important relation to the
German lines south of the Somme as
did COMPLIES north of the river. That
is a point of support. the junction of
several important highways and its
capture will enable the French to
dominate the surrounding country for
several miles.)
Aerial torpedoes and secretly dug
trenches gave wonderful aid to the
French in their movement to encircle
Chaulnes. On Monday 1 visited the
first line trenches near Denicourt,
(three miles northeast of Chaulnes) to
watch preparations for the great at
tack launched on Tuesday.
Dig Secret Trenches.
The French were secretly digging
new trench, running parallel to the
German positions. 1t was from this
trench that French infantry was des-
tined to make the attack thus re-
ducing the width of the fire zone it
was necessary for the soldiers to cross
before reaching the German trenches.
While the usual terrific artillery
preparation was going on the French
were systematically destroying the
German wire entanglements with their
new aerial torpedoes. These they
launched from little trench mortars.
Unlike the screaming whistling of
shells, the passage of the torpedoes
is noiseless but they are visible to the
naked eve thruout their entire course.
They described beautiful arches above
the French line, then darted down
ward with lightning-like rapidity into
the German trench. The havoc and
CONSERVATION was so great that the
French soldiers, without hesitation
polked their heads out of the trenches
to watch the destruction tho the Ger
mans were only $50 feet away.
From the depths of this first line
trench, seventeen French sausage bal
looms and thirty observation aero
planes could be observed directly
above the French fire. These were
constantly protected during their OBJ
servation work by a squadron of

Destruction of grass, trees and other
vegetation by escaping gas from leak

several cities in Kansas trouble this
fall and summer, was reported TODAY
in this city.
Fred C. joss, 1884 Lane street, ap-
peared before city officials today and
asked to be directed to the city attor-
ney. The city attorney was out and
Joss left but not before telling his
story of w. H. WATSON, finance com
mis- Sioner.
Several days ago Joss discovered
that several trees on MS place and
grass on the lawn were driving. Siren
uo1s efforts to keep the vegetation
alive proved fruitless. He discovered
a leak in the gas mains which finally
grew so bad that it was ignited and
the fire department had to be called
out to extinguish it. Subsequently, the
gas company repaired the leaks but
didn't replace the vegetation.
