GERMAN COMMAND
 FOR WAR MINISTER
Lieut. General vOn Hohenborn Will Lead Army Corps on Western
 Front.

London, Oct. 30, 7:14 a, m.-A Ber- lin despatch forwarded from Amster- dam says that. the German emperor has sent Lieut. General Adolf Wild von Hohenborn, the Prussian minis ter of war, to take command of an army corps on the western front and that the Emperor has appointed as Prussian minister of war and state lieutenant general von Stein. The change, it is stated is due to the de- sire that the minister of war; who must decide military measures at home, should have a thorough ex- perience in the increasing wants of the army in the field.
 General vor Stein was appointed to the command of the fourteenth re- serve army corps in September, 1914, after having served as quartermaster general As late as two months ago he was in command of troops in the Somme sector of the German front in France, apparently in the vii Cinity of Thiepval. General Wild von Hohenborn was made quartermaster general in January, 1915 and was ap- rointed minister of war to succeed General Won Falkenhayn, a few days later. Before his appointment as uuartermaster general he saw consid- Crable service as division com- mander with the German army in 'landerS

Von Hindenburg Gives Hint in Interview-Pays His
 Respects to French.

Berlin, Oct. 30.-By wireless to Sayville.-Field Marshal von linden burg, German chief of staff, is quoted by the Overseas News Agency as fol- lows:
 "The French shows great tenacity but they are exterminating lives by their method of fighting. All their tenacity will be of no avail. for in the end there will be none of them left. This fate of the French nation is owing above all else to the British. If the British ask next spring for one more offensive campaign they will rob France of the remainder of her army and her national strength.
 Replying to a question regarding g the reported attempt against the Queen of Rumania, Field Marshal von Hindenburg shook his head and said: Attempts of this kind always must be cCndemned.'

HUGHES REPLIES.
Takes Further Exception to Speech
 of President at Cincinnati

East Liverpool, Ohio, Oct. 3O.- Charles E. Hughes replying further to statements in President Wilson's Cin- cinnati speech, told an audience here today that the $2,0OO, O,O0O,O0O increase in American exports last year was due almost exclusively to the demand created by the European war and cited statement by Chairman Hur- ley of the federal trade commission, to uphold the republican claim that America is mot prepared for post bellum competition with Europe"
 That $2,00O, O,000,00O increase" MT. Hughes said, represents almost ex- clusively the demand created by the European war. What are we to do? There is but one safe course. It is idle to talk about conditions of work if there Is no work. And you can- not have any lasting basis for pros perity unless you apply the republican doctrine Of protection to American in- dustrieS.

IJNI0NS DUST MEMBERS WHO SPOKE FOR ROADS So Claims Railroad Head at Hearing Before Com
 mission.

Washington, Oct. 3o.-At the hear ing today by the interstate commerce commission of the proposed require ment that railroads equip locomotives with high power electric headlights, charges were made by representatives of the roads, that officers of the Brotherhood of Locom otive Engineers had expelled membe testifying to the roads and against the practicabil ity of the high power light.
 we have been taunted with the statement that we have been unable to get engineers to testify for us in this case" c. c. Paulding, of the New York Central told the commission. The reason for this is plain. Two engineers who were witnesses at pre- vious hearings of the commission for the railroads have been expelled from the order"
 MT. Paulding did not finish his ex- planation because the commission de- cided to limit the hearing to testi- mony regarding a test of the, head lights adopted on the New York Gen. tral in September. . t.a
 A statement was given out by the carriers, however, that William H. Bother, Alexander E. Martin and John T. Heller, three Indiana engin- eers, were recently busted under a provision of the constitution of the engineers brotherhood providing such penalty when a member by verbal or written communication interfer- feres with its legislative program or makes suggestions detrimental to it..
 The proposed rule is being opposed particularly by large roads in the east where traffic is congested on the theory that its use would result in in crease in accidents
 Installation of the light, it has been estimated, would cost carriers about s6,OOO,OOO. The brotherhoods con- tend the headlight would prove bene- fcial in train operation

coIoners New Speech.
[By J. P. Yoder, United Press Staff
Correspondent
ABOARD ROOSEVELT TRAIN.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 3.-Colonel
Roosevelt today promised an entire
" new speech with kick in it" when
he appears at Cooper Union in New
York tonight. His theme, will be
Americanism, with heretofore I'M
touched angle. AS usual. he will pre-
face his prepared address with more
verbal filings at President Wilson's
foreign and Mexican policies. and at
his fine words"
He had prepared a speech on Amerl-
canism and Industrialism for CleVe-
land last night where he spoke to six
thousand at the Armory and to three
thousand more who gathered In the
rotunda Of the city hall as an over
flow, but the speech of President VIII
son at Buffalo Wednesday stung him
into an Introductory extemperaneous
talk that took up most of his time at
the former place. He used most OF
his Industrial topic at the city hall
overflow.
At the Armory meeting, Roosevelt
was particularly denunciatory IN MS
criticism of President Wilson, Bryan
and Secretary Baker. He scored the
president for speaking of me al
ways in the evasive third person
plural"
why doesn't he name me-" he de-
clared in his address. TOO tim1d.
He was several times interrupted
by hecklers and each time he had to
plead with police who were hustling
questioners out, to let them alone.
do you propose to send an Amerl-
can army into Mexico to protect the
land that has been stolen by Amer1-
can land barons?" he was asked.
That's a foolish question, but III
answer it," he replied.
"If you've been to a circus you GER
tainly have heard one clown ask an
other, have you stopped beating your
wite?' Well that's the kind of ques-
lions I've just been asked. 1t can't be
answered yes or no.
At this point there were scores OF
cries, Answer the question. Answer
the question. Why don't you answer
the question:"
Because it can't be answered, yes
or no." Roosevelt replied, "but I'll do
the best l can. In the first place, the
questioner is either very foolish or
very dishonest. He doesn't know the
facts. In the first place. the men and
women and children killed in Mexico
have all been poor people. No rich
people have been killed" And he then
explained he would have done in
Mexico what he had done for Cuba.
