women on their way to work to vote

America efficient" term used by
Charles E. Hughes. Hanly said, ..is
only a phrase which any parrot can
be taught to repeat
Both the Republican and Democrat
ic parties he said know that America
efficient means America SOBER
1.-The way to make America efficient
to compete in the markets of the
world after the war, is to make Amer
lea sober by graduating the alcoholic
drink evil" said Hanfy. Both the
big parties know this, but they are
afraid to proclaim it." Hanly charged

paign solely as THE wrecker of an

All of the eight congressman are
claimed by Sessions, who also files on

hours of the campaign and declares

der Thought To Be Cause.

Louisburg, Kan, Nov. 3.-Richard
Clark, 50 years old, killed himself with
revolver at his home near here
Thursday after having had nervous
attack. The tragedy was the second
that has stirred this community within
two weeks, the other of which was the
mysterious killing of William H. Pat
terson, wealthy bachelor, who was
shot as he sat in his home here the
night of October Is.
Clark was neighbor of Patterson.
1t was said today that he had thought
much about the tragedy and had
brooded over the efforts of citizens
here to solve the mystery. This, it is
believed, caused the attack yesterday
that resulted in his suicide today.
Clark is survived by a widow and
two children.

WHAT WAS IT?
Postscript, Addendum, Footnote
or Supplemental Note?
That sit Was Writ Is Certain
is Wilson Quibbling?

New York, Nov 3.-Senator Lodge
has charged that President Wilson
wrote some sort of postscript, or ad-
dendum, to his Lusitania note. the pur-
OFT of which was plain intimation
to Germany that the words of the note
itself were not to be taken too SER
iously. a sort of indirect assurance
that in the final analysis the United
State would be found too proud to
fight; that Mr.. Wilson not only PEN
ned, but intended to send this modifi-
cation of the stern context of the note
itself which he purposed to give out
for publication, but that Mr.. Wilson
was, at the last minute, dissuaded
from sending the postscript. addendum
or supplemental note, whatever the
qualification may be termed.
Senator Lodge has quoted former
Assistent Secretary of War Breckin-
ridge as authority for his statement,
and has quoted a conversation be-
tween Mr.. Breckenridge and DR.. Chas.
H. Bailey of Tufts college. Mr.. Breck-
inridge has retorted with most en-
phatic denunciation of Dr. Bailey, but
he does not deny that there was such
a postscript, or that DR.. Bailey quoted
him correctly.
Case of whats In a Name.''
Senator Lodge says former Secre-
tary of War Garrison had full knowl-
edge of the postscript, Secretary Car
TtSOn refuses To Say -dHylI ny way
of either denial or affirmation.
President Wilson has issued a de-
NAL that he wrote any postscript" y.
but John Temple Lloyd Jeffries comes
out with confirmation of Mr.. Lodges
statement except that probably the
postscript took the form of a supple
mental note" so that Mr.. Wilson can
make his clubbing denial that he
wrote a postscript The fact is, how
ever, that Mr.. Lodge has made it clear
that President Wilson wrote some
thing of the kind, whatever he may
call it, and that it was his intention
to send this communication to Ger
many in confidence, meaning to give
to the American public his truculenr
note, but to suppress from the public
the confidential addendum. And the
public are much interested and are
already demanding that Mr.. Wilson
state what it was he did write, whether
he calls it a postscript, a foot note or
supplemental communication.

Resources of National Banks
Gain 2 Billion in a Year.
Total of S14,411,OOO Smashes
All Previous Records.
GOLD INFLUX CONTINUES
294 Million Shipped Into q. s.
Since January 1.
Export Gold, ss5,OOO,OOO in Oct.
Against S1s,OOO,OOO Year Ago.

Washington, Nov. 3.-Reports of
national banks conditions on Septem-
Der i, the comptroller of the currency
announced today. show total resources
of S14,411,00O,0 900, or $216,0O0,OOO
greater than ever before in the ma
tons history. This was an increase
of s4S5, 900, 900 over June 80, last, and
$2,144,OOO,OO over September 81,
1915.
The previous high water mark was
on May 1 last. Total deposits amount
ed to $11,S62, 100000. or $227,000,000
greater than ever before, the increase
was s4S5,OOO,O0O over June 80 and
$2,133,OOO, 900 over September 2, 1915.
Deposits in central reserve bank
cities from May 1 last to September
~, showed a reduction of $218, 200. 900,
while in other reserve cities there was
an increase of S151, 100000 and in
country banks an increase of $294,-
100000.
Due to New Bank Law.
"This,'' said the comptroller, sis in
dicative of the healthy progressive eff
feet of the federal reserve act in de-
centralizing and distributing the
money of the country"
Loans and discounts were $685.
600, 900, the largest amount ever re-
ported.
Outstanding features of the October
business and financial situation cited
by the federal reserve bulletin today
were a continuation of heavy exports
and of the net inward gold shipment,
extended domestic trade activity, ris
ing prices, easy money rates, and full
employment of labor. Heavy balances
due from Europe, it is stated, have
given rise to demands for new financ-
ing, a feature of which of especial
concern to the federal reserve system,
is the extensive resort to the use of ac-
ceptance credits arranged, or to be ar
ranged, on behalf of industrial and
commercial borrowers in Europe.
No Let-up in Gold Importation.
The often-predicted slackening or
reversal of the gold movement into
this country has shown no indication
of developing to the present date the
that to the middle of October, the net
inward movement of gold since Janu-
airy 1, was approximately 1924, 900, 600
against 100000 for the CORE
spending period in 1915
THE only symptom of a change in
the international position of the
United States as respects gold" the
bulletin adds, lis found in an increase
of the gross expectation of the metal
from the beginning of the year to the
middle of October, bringing the total
outflow to about S95,0OO,OOO against
s13,0OO.0O0 for the same period of
1915"

ed by the Rev. Herbert Buffum,

father of the unfortunate boy. The
minister devoted much of his address
to denunciation of speed fiends, but
he did not stop with them. He placed
blame upon the mayor, the chief of
police and all other city officials
charged with the enforcement of the
speed ordinances.
The McGivern home was filled with
people. some of whom knew neither
the boy nor his parents They had
been touched by the tragic death ana

coded by floral offerings bearing their
names. Beside the casket, containing
the body of Jesse Weaverling, lay Il
floral piece bearing the inscriptions:
From J. r. Johnson and Wife," sent
by the man whose flying automobile
was responsible for the services.
And outside, awaiting the conclu-
sion of the services, sat ]. r. Johnson
in an automobile, out of reach of the
denunciation of the preacher but with
bowed head. Behind him were ten
other automobiles, nearly all belong
ing to him. They were for the use of
the funeral party.
Ten motor cars carried the flowers
and the friends to the Topeka ceme-

IN FALSE LIGHT
Uncle Sam DislikeS american.
Corps in French Army.
Wants Name Changed-Foreign
Fighting Expatriates Men.

Washington Nov. 3-The state
department has suggested to the
French government that it discontinue
referring to the American aviators
with the French army as members of
the American corps, owing to the false
light in which such references place
the United States as neutral nation
Any American who fights for Eng
land in the present war expatriates
himself. The state department made
this clear in connection with its action
in refusing passport to Theodore
MaTburg, jr., of Baltimore, who is re-
turning to England to rejoin the avia-
ton corps. Marburg is a son of the
former United States minister to Bel
GUM.
Take British Oath of Allegiance.
Repatriation results from the fact
that all British soldiers must
take the oath of allegiance to the Brit
lsh crown which, in the case of Ameri-
cans wipes out their allegiance to this
country AS for Americans fighting
with the Foreign Legions of the
French army, the department made
known that the burden will rest upon
them to prove the oath they have TAX
en- has not expatriated them.
Even after peace is declared, those
who return to this country in deSti-
tute circumstances will be treated as
ordinary alien immigrants.
