Two Other Theories.

Two other theories are attracting at

forces at Nerdun, or the crushing out

Macedonia in conjunction with the al

regarded less seriously, however, than
Tic idea of its help to the Italians.

Germans Tied Up.

At present the Germans are IN no po-
sition to give their Austrian allies sub
stsntisl assistance. The British are
claiming every attention on the extreme
west The drive against Verdun is TAX
ing every available man in that sector,
as the Kaiser is intent on piercing the
defences of the French at that point at
anv cost. The Verdun offensive will
not be abandoned, according TO the best
military critics, until the whole posi-
ton falls-and until the Kaiser ceases
his attempts to capture the great fort
ress, with all its outlying Gefences, he
will be unable to spare any men TO re-
inforce such weak spots in the Austrian
line as may be laid bare by the Rus
sian offensive.
For the Austrians to look for aid
from General Holzendorf's army on the
Italian front is considered here as the
probable outcome of any imperilling of
their strength on the Russian front.

Perkins Extends Olive Branch.

What this amounts to is a reiteration
of the belief that if the Republicans
don't nominate Colonel Roosevelt they
will not hesitate long over Hughes. All
the big Progressives want, down under
the surface, is to get on record the
views of the justice on campaign issues.
George W. Perkins laid stress on the
extension of the olive branch in an in
terview he gave tonight.
THE meeting to-day made IL perfect
IL clear" declared Mr.. Perkins, "that
our convention will meet, but will not
nominate right off the bat. We are
prepared to meet the Republican con-
vention half way. Whatever time is
necessary for the purpose of holding
conferences will be taken.
"We feel that the statement of the
national committee in January was
tantamount to an invitation to the Re-
publicans to get together with US. We
want to afford every opportunity for
that.
I'VE have just one candidate at the
present time. and his name is Theodore
Roosevelt. We think the Repub..-ans
ought to name him"
What about a second choice" was
asked.
well, | suppose they will try TO get
together with us on candidates when
they can find one as good as the Colo
nell laughed Mr.. Perkins, "and get
arguments for him as good as the argu-
ments for electing 7. R. 70 present to
US"

CAN "AF-FORD" IT
Motor Magnate to Pay Women
Employees SIS a Day.
Ford Company Melted so Mil
lion During Last Year.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 25.-Four hun
dred women employees in the Ford
Motor company factory in Detroit and
several hundred others in branch fac
tories and offices, will benefit from
the SO, minimum wage scale for wo-
men announced yesterday by Henry
Ford following his conference with
President Wilson at Long Branch.
Officials of the Ford company, de-
clared today that the new wage plan
affects all women employees of the
company in the United States who are
more than 81 years old. Women I'M
der Il who have dependents will also
share in the higher wage schedule it
was stated. The new scale became eff
fective October 10. Ford officials en-
phasized today that the decision to
pay women on basis of equality with
men must not be regarded as 'philan-
thropic project.
They expressed conviction that the
principle will be indicated from an
economic standpoint and pointed to
the last annual statement of the Ford
company as absolute proof of the fl
nancial success of the SIS minimum
plan, both to the company and its en-
plcyes. The financial statement. COW
ering the year ending July 81, showed
net profits of approximately 100000
000-by far the biggest year in the
history of the Ford company
