 AND MAKE THEIR ESCAPE

OSSING, Oct. 2O.-Riding in a Sing Sing prison truck today six priS- oners drove past the guard as if they were only engaged in their ordinary work but they kept going and made their escape. Later word arrived that one of the escaped convicts named Curtis had been wounded and recap tured by prison guard at TarrytOwn. An investigation is being held into the affair to ascertain how the men could have got away so easily. The re- mainder are still at large.

RUSH IMPROVEMENTS NEAR
 POST OFFICE CORNEI

A quick, special, hurried meeting Of the city council last night passed or dinanccs and resolutions that meant the improvement of the streets around the post office, Hartman Bank and Railroad building. The only other business done was permission given to Messrs. Brosius and Noon to build a sidewalk along in front of their fine new building on Washington street and also a veranda. The sidewalk will be a hundred feet long and ten feet wide, and the veranda will be fifty six feet long. The ordinances passed were those for the grading of Fifth avenue between Adams and Jefferson, and the building of aesidewalk down the east side of Fifth from Adams to Railroad avenue. Thirty-Seven dol lars was finally allowed for the i'm provement from the general fund of the alley between the post office and the Dougherty private office. Al Chamberlain was not present. All this was done in fifteen minutes, which is said by the city clerk to be a record.

HUGHES WOULD HAVE
 AVENGED LUSITANIA

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Oct. 20 Hughes came out more boldly today in a speech on the question of the Lusi- tania than at any other period of the campaign. He emphasized what he believed to be the rights of Americans in relation to this war and in answer ing McAdoo's challenge to say what he would have done in the Lusitania ease he declared that he meant what he said at Louisville-he would have made good his warning to Germany. This is taken to mean that he-would have declared war and the general opinion is that he has fallen into the trap laid for him by AI'AAoo ard "as alienat,d the pro .,i1rjaan vote t.aa'iy. For some time back, the papers state, the pro-German vote had not been so sure for the Republican candidate be- cause of the support of him by Roos"- welt who is regarded as the most de- termined anti-German in the country, and his declaration now in relation to the Lusitania incident is supposed to mean that he has thrown over all effort to secure the pro-Geman sup port.

That the new depot will be built by the Engineering Commission at the foot of Broadway there is good reason to believe although the matter has not been decided definitely. The officials of the commission, however, have it under consideration. It is expected that the depot will be a very fine one that will be a credit to the terminal of the great government railroad.

BY LLOYD george
In Open Letter Says Nation
Has Attained Heights Of
Moral Grandeur"

Paris, June S.-The Journal today prints
a statement by Lloyd George to Robert
Donald, editor of the London Daily Chron-
icle. He says today IN the Journal:
mo nation has reached the heights OF
the moral grandeur of France during the
war. I set her as England's constant
model. Soldiers and generals show quail
ties Of endurance. courage, and military
skill worthy OF the highest deeds OF
Napoleons army.
"At the name of Verdun I bow before
such proofs of superhuman courage. The
French army met a shock, backed by the
most barbarous methods, such as no army
ever had to meet. 1t will be one of the
decisive battles of the war because II
represents the enemy's supreme mill
tary effort.
It's lesson for the allies is that
heavy artillery and the most violent ex-
plosives will play the preponderating role
in the battles to come.
IT have never despaired Of victory
The task will be hard, but the end is
sure. 1t is Germany's military force
that We must beat. 1t is not enough
to force her to submission by economic
pressure. Only a crushing military vic.
tory will bring the peace for which the
allies are fighting, and of which Germany
will understand the meaning. That VIC
tory We shall have; It will be complete
and final
