probable recovery of his daughter.
Mrs. Inez Milholland Boissevain. il
due to the act of God and the efficacy
of prayer. according to John e. MIL
holland. of New York, father of the
noted New York suffrage leader, who
for three weeks has been critically
Ill from secondary anaemia at the
Good Samaritan Hospital here.
Tonight Mr.. Milholland issued q
statement in which he said that peo-
pie all over the country had been
praying for his daughters recovery.
II attribute her apparent certain re.
covery to the efficacy of prayer and
as a kind act of God" said Mr.. Mil

Hospital reports today for the first
time were indicative of recovery of

PENALTY UNDER THE LAW
FOR INDUCING IN DRINK
No Pay to Soldier, Sailor or Marine
While Under Treatment for
Alcoholism.

If a soldier, sailor or marine-officer or
enlisted man-is absent from duty get
ting cured of alcoholism, his pay stops.
If any individual of these military
classes gets on a jag and is injured
through his condition of irresponsibility-
why. that's different, and he does not
lose pay for time absent being mended.
That Is a construction of the law made
by the controller of the Treasury w. w.
Warwick. He POUNDS his decision on a
ruling of predecessor on the older army
law which denies pay to officer or man
absent on account of disease" resulting
from his own Incorporate use of drugs
or alcoholic liquors, or from other mis-
conduct" in which it was determined
that the prohibition of pay did not apply
to a period of absence due to INJURY"
from such causes.
The naval act of August %, 1916, con-
tanned a prohibition of payment under
similar conditions. to officers and enlist
ed men of the navy and marine. The
language, however. was extended to
cover rsickness or disease" as well as
merely disease"
Controller Warwick finds no reason to
rule that injury" is sickness" any more
than it Is disease as decided under the
older decision Congress, he suggests,
would have made it plain that injury was
meant to be included, if so intended. by
inserting that word in the law, and he is
confident that the naval and marine serv-
ice We're not intended to be on different
status, in this respect, from the army.

NEW YORK. Nov. l.--''We've got
them on the run, and they are in for
the worst trouncing In years" said
Vance c. Mccormick. chairman OF
the democratic national committee
upon his return to New York tonigh,
from Chicago where ne went for
seven hour conference with western
leaders
'The west is aflame with Wilson
sentiment. Frank H. Hitchcock in
a formal forecast published in Chica-
go yesterday admits the loss Of Ohio,
yet contends that Indiana and Hi
nols are in line for republican
candidate How absurdly ridiculous
for republicans to attempt to measure
political sentiment by imaginary
state lines. AS matter Of fact, the
people of Indiana and Illinois are
just as patriotically loyal to the pres
ident' of the United States as are the
people of Ohio and you may take it
from me that President Wilson will
make clean sweep of these three big
states.
Il learned in Chicago for the first
time, that the republicans in their
desperation are circulating a report
that New York is for Hughes. and
that the democrats realize this. such
statement is wholly without foun-
dation. New York is not for Hughes
today and will not be for Hughes next
Tuesday as the republicans have very
good reason to know. President Will
son will carry the state by a stag
gering plurality
Newspaper polls and straw ballots
confirm our private advices to the ef-
feet that the bottom has dropped out
Of the republican campaign up state
in their strongholds. The macedon-
ian cry of the republicans for the
help of such old guardsmen as Barnes,
Penrose and Crane cannot change the
situation"
The picayune and destructive abuse
OF the president at this stage of the
game will avail the republicans moth
ing. The American people cannot be
gold bricked
