OF ATTACK IN ENGLEWOOD
Another little girl was sacrificed
upon the altar of wanton passion in
Englewood last night. Fully a score

Politicians Think Bryan
Again Aims at Control

Washington, Nov. 15.-What has
come to be almost a political axiom
in this country-that "you can't keep
William Jennings Bryan buried"-was
much discussed to-day, following the
publication Of his interview urging
that the big plank in the Democratic
platform of 1920 should be prohibi-
ton.
This is of great interest here, not
so much because Mr.. Bryan Is known
to be sincerely for prohibition as be-
cause his two principal competitors
for the next Democratic nomination
may be men opposed to such a plank.
When Mr.. Bryan espoused the cause
of Mr.. Wilson at Baltimore four years
ago the two leading opponents of Mr..
Wilson were Speaker Clark and Oscar
w. Underwood. Friends of both men
have already begun talking about 1920.
Democratic politicians here to-day
expressed the view that Mr.. Bryan sees
in the prohibition question an issue
which will give him the support of a
majority of the states which went
Democratic this year. His reference
to tn, fact that seventeen dry states
voted for Wilson is taken as signifi-
cant.
Prohibitionists. however, forecast the
passage of constitutional amendment
providing national prohibition before

will be closed Tuesdays and cafes con-
certs and music halls on Wednesdays.
The board Of supervision may name
additional closing days in order to re-
duce the consumption Of coal for light
ing Parisians have been startled to
hear that the elevators of many build
ings will be stopped generally for the
same purpose.
The coal supply OF the Western Al
lies is drawn from England, which
must partition the fuel for Italy and
France, and, to some extent, for Swift
zerland and Spain. The lack of both
sea and railway transportation facili-
ties limits deliveries.
The prospect Of greatly diminished
lighting has caused a sudden boarding
of candles, oil and acetylene. Paris shop
keepers either were sold out to-day or
were dealing with long lines Of people
waiting to make purchases.
The government measures are large
ly precautionary and are taken to re-
mind the people of the prospect OF a
long war and the necessity OF form
ing the habit Of conserving their re-
sources.
The journal Oficiel," OF Paris, pub
lished a decree adding considerable
number of ARTICLES to the list OF goods
the exportatio\ of which is prohibited,
such as silk goods, woollens for cloth
ing and cotton cloth.
The prohibition does not apply in the
case of silks and alpacas to the united
States. which is placed in the same po,-
sition as the Entente nations, although
some of the neutrals, such as spain,
arc not DO favored.

SAYS OLD GUARD
| LOST CALIFORNIA
State Chairman Charges
They Disobeyed Orders
on Hughes Trip

San Francisco, Nov. 16.-Chester II.
Rowell, chairman Of tho Republican
State Committee and former Progress
sive, charged to-day that the "old
guard" Republicans who looked after
Charles E. Hughes during his trip
through California not only made bad
job Of it but suppressed and disobeyed
instructions from the East. He blames
them for the loss of the state.
"lf the advice and practically the de-
mands Of the national managers of Mr..
Hughes's campaign had not been defed
and suppressed by those temporarily In
charge Of IL in California" his state
ment said, "Mr. Hughes would now be
beyond question President-elect Of the
United States"
Francis V. Keesling, chairman Of the
Republican State Central Committee at
the time Mr.. Hughes was in the state,
said:
I'm not going to say anything. The
kilograms were all published at the
time"
Prediction that the lowest Democratic
elector in California will run ahead Of
the highest Republican elector were
made tonight by Democratic leaders.
Available returns were considered
rot an index of the situation, because
they were from smaller counties. most
OF which had given Wilson good ma
jorities. They showed the lowest Dem
ocrat l4,773 ahead Of the highest Re-
publican, but nearly all the big coun-
ties still were missing.
One precinct in Los Angeles was
thrown out to-day by the Board Of Su-
pervisors because its tally sheet showed
three more votes than were recorded in
the registration book. This precinct
was credited with 125 votes for Hughes
and 1879 for Wilson.

ing w. Anderson and T. A. Null, Demo-
Gratis who on unofficial returns were
defeated for Congress in the Sd and 4th

cratic National Committee late to-day

Food Munition Workers
Fat, Hindenberg's Plea

Berlin. Nov. 16.-The afternoon news
papers to-day print a lengthy appeal
by Field Marshal Won Hindenburg to
DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg, the I'M
peral Chancellor, for active propaganda
among agricultursts to induce not only
a greater production Of fats, but also a
greater willingness voluntarily to give
up all available food supplies for the
benefit of industrial workers, particu-
larly in ammunition making centres.
The appeal declares that it does not
appear to be sufficiently appreciated
in some circles that it is question
of life and death for the German peo-
pie and empire, and that it is impos-
sible to keep workers on an efhcient
basis unless they have justly appor-
toned and sufficient amount OF fats.
Count Won Hindenburg concludes
with the declaration that he has the
impression that officials have become
weary in their efforts TO be as Just
as possible, which has as its result IN
decisiveness. He declares the Chancel-
lor will not fail to recognize the dan.
ger in this, and says the people want
strong and decisive officials, so that
thew may be strong and submit willing
ly to many an uncomfortable measure.

the eighty-six counties in Minnesota of

BRYANTHNKSU.S.
CAN BRING PEACE
Would Use Diplomacy to
Make More Fighting
Embarrassing
William Jennings Bryan believes Il Is

William Jennings Bryan believes II Is
high time the United States set upon
the belligerent European nations and
through diplomatic methods made II
more embarrassing for them 10 con-
tinue the war than TO stop il. In this
way, he Is convinced, peace could be
brought about soon.
The Commoner expressed this view
yesterday afternoon as he was about 20
leave the Hoffman House for Indian
apolis, where he is TO deliver temper
ance lecture. His face bore many lines
that were not there during the days
he was a member OF President wilson
Cabinet, and his clothes bore evidences
of the drizzle of rain and snow in
which he had been walking.
at is in the interest OF all neutral
nations, a. well as humanity, that we
urge the belligerent powers TO make
specific statements as to what they are
fighting for" said Mr.. Bryan. This
would be only another way of stating
the terms on which peace would be pos
sible. These terms must be stated
some time; why not now?
Should Demand Statement
at would not be fair to assume that
the nations involved in this great war
either do not know what the real issue
is or that they are unwilling or unable
to state il. | have been convinced for
long time that it was our plain duty
to both the belligerent and the neutral
nations to call upon them to make such
d statement.
such a statement would surely lead
20 discussion of the terms of peace
and, in all probability, to a speedy
agreement. All of the nations involved
in the war deny responsibility for start
ing it. No nation could afford to as
sumo the responsibility for prolonging
IT by nhming impossible terms. 1t is
plainly up to US to act"
when you say us do you mean that
President Wilson is the logical peace
arbiter?" was asked.
Not necessarily. | mean the United
States. II doesn't matter so much about
the spokesman" was the response.
Won't Discuss Candidates
Colonel Bryan is convinced that the
liquor question will be made the para
mount issue of the Presidential cam
paign of 1920. Moreover, he is con-
WINGED that the candidate of the Demo-
SIdtlc party Will De an advocate OF dry
legislation, should such plank be in
serted in the Democratic platform. He
refused to name such leader in the
party, however. When it was suggested
that he was the one dry" leader in the
party, he lifted a hand deprecstingly
and looked out of the window.
at would be impossible to discuss
candidates intelligently until the sdop-
ton of a platform" he said. "The
party would not want wet candidate
if dry plank were adopted, and it
would not want dry candidate il no
such position was taken in the plat
form"
