No Grounds for Recount,
Chairman Wilcox SAYS

Chairman Wilcox, in behalf of the
Republican National Committee. issued
the following statement in reference to
the telegram sent by Mr.. Hughes to
President Wilson last night:
Having conferred by telephone dur
ing the day and late this afternoon with
the Republican State Committee and
the Republican national committeeman
in California, am informed that the
official canvass Of the vote has been so
nearly completed that no change will
result from the few precincts not
counted in the returns thus far COM
piled.
This means that the majority for
the Wilson electors in California ranges
from about 200 to $500 votes, and that
this is the final result Of the canvass for
which we have been waiting.
$50 far as any recount is concerned,
TIE national committee are not advised
that there are sufficient grounds which
would call for such an application"

Berlin. Nov. II (by wireless to Say
Vile, Nov. 22).-After long silence
imposed by the direct wish of Gen
eral Falkenhayn, who did not wish to
have any hopes raised by premature
accounts of his operations, descriptions
are now available of the momentous
victory of the Teutonic forces in the
battle Of Tirgujiu, which broke the
resistance Of the Russo-Rumanian arm

the way to the Rumanisn plain.

naturally strong, and heavy fog en-

NEWBORN EUROPE.
SEEN BY FRANCKE
Kaiser Hopes Only for a
Nobler Germany, Har-
ward Professor Hears

A regenerated Europe, believing more
than ever before in international
brotherhood, universal suffrage for
women, obligatory civil duties for
women resembling the Kaiser's univer-
sal military service for men and laws
fostering the raising Of greater fam
lilies in Germany to replace the mill
ions Of lives lost in the war we're some
predictions made by Professor kuno
Francke. of Harvard. last night in q.
lecture on "The Future Of Germany.
Professor Francke's address was deliv.
cred before 900 members and guests OF
the Gcrmanistic Society at the Hotei
Aston.
The German people during the war
have given the world a spectacle OF
consummate nobility and greatness,
Professor Francke declared, in the way
thew have united for the support oil
their country, sweeping away all minor
rivalries and prejudices. Even the So
cialists, he pointed out, had come 70
the support of the government, and
the trades unions had agreed TO seek no
contributions to strike funds during
the war. This amounts to the aooil-
ton of strikes while the struggle - on.
This subordinating of the interests
of individuals for the good Of the whole
is what has enabled Germany to stand
firm against all her enemies" said the
Harvard professor.
The greatest problem that will con-
front Germany after the war. Pro-
lessor Francke thinks, Is the replacing
of "the countless lives sacrificed in this
monstrous slaughter" To make good
the enormous loss of manhood, social
legislation to encourage larger fsmi-
lies will be a national necessity, he
asserted. The weaker members of SO
ciety would have to be protected in
their struggle for existence more than
ever before, and the German nation
would have to foster and preserve its
every resource.
Kaiser Wilhelm has been a shining
example to all his subjects Of real
greatness Of character, according to
Professor Francke.
II recently received a letter from
friend" he said, who had just spent an
entire evening with the Kaiser. And
during that whole evening the Emperor
talked of nothing but his hope for
new and nobler Germany. He spoke
with great enthusiasm and with the
firm conviction that what he hoped for
would come to pass.
There is little hope that after the
war there will be less need of military
preparedness. There will be such a
vast accumulation of hatred, jealousy
and fear among the nations that any
alignment of any of them to preserve
peace will be regarded with great suspi-
cion by the other nations, and can be
maintained only by the prestige Of
arms. Germany will disarm only when
she receives adequate pledges from the
other nations that they will not take
advantage of her disarmament. IL is
hard to see how such pledges can be OBJ
tanned"
