Socialist Candidate Opposed 10 Boost
Ing Exporters Profits.

Elk City. Okla, Oct 27.-"The de-
partment of agriculture" said A. l..
Benson, Socialist candidate for presi-
dent, speaking here, has been send
ing out circulars advising people to
eat braed made of three parts potato
-four and two parts of wheat -four.
THAT seems TO be the administra-
tons way OF meeting the bread situa-
tion after we have raised enough
wheat to make wheat bread. The po-
tato bread situation at least has the
merit that II would not interfere with
the profits of the exporters who are
stripping our country of wheat
IAN embargo on all food exports OF
course would keep Americas food for
America and bring down food prices,
but Ii would also bring down export
ers' profits. wherefore the American
people are told to eat potato bread"

MOTOR CAR THIEVES
THRIVING IN CHICAGO

Chicago. Oct. 27-The growth in the
automobile stealing industry here
from practical insignificance in 1911
to in excess of $l,250,OOO thus far in
1916 was shown in report by the
police department. The thefts since
Jan. l, 1916, were 2,571 cars and the
total for the six years were .S,O23 cars,
of which 6.669 were recovered.
Insurance companies have paid
100000 in theft losses this year.
Summer months are the open sea
son for the auto pirates.
Only az aroused public sentiment
can SUPPRESS the growing evil, the
police rtport said
Difficulty i'm convicting the fence"
or persons with whom the stolen car is
found is the weakness in stamping out
thefts.

BATTLESHIP BIDS
ARE BELOW LIMIT

Washington, Oct 27-Bids for the
four new battleships Colorado, Mary
land, Washington and West Virginia
were opened at the navy department.
While all of the tenders show the
heavy increase in prices due to the
abnormal conditions of the shipbuild-
ing industry, they were within the de-
partment's limit of cost and il is vfr-
tually certain that all four ships will
be awarded to private concerns.
Prices for the battleships quoted
ranged from $10.060,000 to s11,475,-
600, as against the departments
limit for hull and machinery Of SILL
100000 A study of the bids is now
in progress and awards will be made
only after careful review OF the
notifications proposed by every bid
der has been made.
II is believed, however, that the
Fore River Shipbuilding company.
Quincy. Mass. will get two of the big
ships and the Newport News Ship and
Drydock company the other two.

Two Countries Said to Be
on Verge Of Break.
U=BOATS ARE THE CAUSE
Said in Scandinavian Country That
Teuton Submarines Are Waqing
Persistent War on Norsk Shipping
and Are Practically BIockadlng the
Norwegian Coast.

London, Oct 26-News agency re-
ports from Copenhagen reported that
sensational rumors we're current re-
garding the relations between Nor
way and Germany.
German submarines were declared
to be waging persistent war on Nor
wegian shipping, and one account
stated that five German submarines
had established a regular blockade of
the Norwegian coast.
The reply to Germany's protest
against Norway's stand with regard to
submarines In Norwegian waters was
still under discussion, the advices
added, but 1t was said the Norwegian
government organ, in reference to the
relations between Norway and Ger
many, declared il might be assumed
that the German protest was so
couched as not to bear the character
of an ultimatum.
The steamers Alix and Rising and
the schooner Theodore, together with
the Swedish schooners Antoinette and
Henriette, are among the latest sub
marine victims, the dispatch adds.
The Tidens Tegn of Christiania says
that one boat with six men from the
Norwegian steamer Ravn. reported
sunk by a German submarine in the
Arctic on Oct 2, has been lost, while
another boat with eleven men on
board reached a lonely part Of the
Russian Thurman coast after drifting
thirteen hours.

Washington. Oct 27.-Conditions il
new ascendancy of Villa as military
leader, are commanding more atten-
ton than at any other time since the
border raids which resulted in the
dispatch of the American punitive
expedition.
Administration officials made no eff.
fort to disguise their opinion that tho
American Mexican commission sitting
at Atlantic City cannot be expected
to arrive at satisfactory solution OF
border problems until the situation in
Chihuahua has been clarified.
Any agreement for the early with.
drawal of General Pershing's forces
from Mexico apparently is considered
now as out of the question.
Moreover, the impression stood out
clearly from all the views expressed
that while the present situation exists
there is little possibility that the
forces of regulars or national guards
men ON the border will he reduced. 1t
was indicated that no chances would
be taken of another raid into Ameri-
can territory.
Villa Power Growing

moval from Mexico City to Queretaro

which his enemies have repeatedly

the so called Legalista movement with
the whole train of events which are

Mexican situation here to develop
