of the city, taking up outpost po-
sitions at various strategic points
which would command the ap-
proaches. The crowd would have been
more successful but for the failure to
hold Trinity College, with the result
that the soldiers soon had a formidable
force and a powerful stronghold in
the midst of the rebels. Operating
from this position, the soldiers were
able to harry the rebel force and cut
their communications. Machine guns
were mounted to command the streets,
compelling the rebels to keep under
cover.
Women Did Looting
In fact. as soon as the military ma
chinery began to work smoothly the
rebels were reduced to sniping tactics.
The looting was done mostly in the
early hours of the disturbance and
appears to have been the work mainly
OF women. The rebel leaders did every
thing possible to prevent the looting,
even shooting some of their own ad-
herents who were caught red-handed.

LONG BRANCH, N. j., Oct. 81
To drive home the final blows of his
campaign for reelection, President
Wilson will leave tonight for two
days In New York state. From a
political standpoint, his addresses in
Buffalo tomorrow night and In New
York City Thursday. promise to be Of
the highest importance.
Home guards" of Buffalo and
New York have promised unprece-
dented receptions at his afternoon
and evening appearances in both
cities.
With a personal statement from
President Wilson stating that no
postscript or amendment to the Lusi-
tania note was ever written or con-
templated and that he personally
strengthened the protest, administra-
ton officials felt the controversy
growing out Of the charge Of Sena-
the exterior optimism as to the out
come, the presidents lieutenants
quietly profess some uneaSiness ae
to what they term unprecedented
sums of money dispensed by the re.
publicans "to check the tide to Will
SON." &.
The democrats claim that the re-
publicans have thrice as much money
at their disposal as the democratic
managers. '.rhey point to national
advertising as one means their oppo-
nents are using at the last minute to
create false impressions" Lack Of
funds, say the democrats, makes it
impossible for them to reply and
they claim to have just about enough
money to settle the ordinary run
ming expenses Of the campaign
from now on.

WEWOKA. Okla, Oct. S1.-Tnat
the democratic party's boast OF pros
perity is fraudulent, was the charge
of Allen l.. Benson, socialist candidate
for president In his speech here.
Benson asserted that the standard
of living of the American working
people was constantly being reduced
during this period Of unparalleled
prosperity and is in danger of being
further reduced. The only solution
Mr.. Wilson'S administration could find
to meet the rising cost Of flour, said
Benson, is TO advise the people to use
potato flour as a substitute.
Press reports state that some bel.
ligerent nations have been reduced
from whea: flour bread to potato flour
bread" said Benson. And now to a
mixture Of wood pulp and potato flour.
In Europe they are now eating wooden
bread and If we here in America con-
tinue to vote for democratic prosper
ity,' We too shall be reduced 20 a
wooden bread diet. Only few weeks
ago the statement was made at meet
ing of American leather dealers that
wooden shoes are mex. in order for the
American people?
"The New Yor1 board OF health has
made It lawful to sell horse meat for
human consumption, but while Mr..
Hughes is talking abou. the horse doc
tor Huerta, and other dead issues, he
has no. uttered one word about the
horse meat potato flour and wooden
shoe standard of living the workers are
facing. And while Mr.. Wilson has
talked about America serving the
world and about the forty y-one billion
dollar increase in national wealth
which the workers created and did
not get, he has not once referred to
the reduced standard Of living or to
the stripping Of America Of It's food
supply by exporters.
president Wilson has not suggest.
ed once that he 1roposed to do any
thing to meet The constantly rising
cost of food except to advice the peo-
pie to go down to a lower standard" }"

Crown Prince Rupprecht's army on

several light French attacks, the war
Office reported today. At no point
were the actions favorable to the
enemy.
Enemy detachments who advanced
against German positions northeast

wise failed.
At this point attempts were in

Strong French attacks against
Ablaincourt and on both sides Of the
Chaulnes-Lihon road, were not car
ried out, being broken UP in the face
of withering defensive fire.
The Verdun front during the past

it's final stages today as chairmen of
both parties claim victories In each

Following a record reception in the
Ohio capital yesterday, Charles E.
Hughes started two day campaign
in Indiana, with seven main speeches
scheduled. President Wilson will
leave Shadow Lawn tonight for his
final drive in the Empire state with
two big speeches scheduled. one in
Buffalo and one in New York City.
Colonel Roosevelt will leave tomor-
row night for his first big drive in
Ohio, with speeches in Cleveland and
Toledo scheduled.
Meantime. verbal bombs exploded
on both sides. The main point in
this word battle was Senator Lodges
charge that postscript had been pro-
posed on the "Omit-no-word-or-act"
Lusitania note but had been with
drawn because cabinet designations
had been threatened.
President Wilson issued denial
of this charge. He admitted one
cabinet member had proposed an
arbitration plan, but said he had re-
jected 1t at once.
Senator Lodge brought up rein
forcements on his claim, while George
C. Warren, a New Jersey republican
elector, claimed Presidential Secre-

of a postcript. This Tumulty denied.
