to handle the situation intelligently. But nobody inside seemed to know what was to be done. A quest was made for Big Bill'' Edwards, in whose hands the arrangements had been placed, but he could not be found. Finally he appeared on the outskirts of the crowd and aided by policemen, he urged his bulk through the mass and got inside. Then, when Inspector chrnittberger sought him. he disappeared.
 The possession of a reserved seat ticket was of no value unless the holder arrived early. The wild rush of the crowd over the fallen gates brought the strongest into the re- served sections, from which they would not budge. And when the holders of the tickets appeared they were not permitter to pass through the lines.
 The Tammanyites who marched down Fifth avenue found small re- ward for their fervor and energy on reaching the Garden. They couldn't get in through the jam.
 The crowd outside waited until the President left, hoping that he would address them. But he had to hurry to Cooper Union. The crowd, thou h disappointed, gave him a vociferous send of.
 Inside the great building the crowd was most amazingly patient. Far tho greater part of it had to wait rom shortly after o'clock until we'll after 8 for the speaking to begin. Two bands added in keeping the crowd good humored, if aid was needed. The people cheered and sang and for got all about the time they had getting in.
 Mrs J. Borden Hartman, Mrs. Dudley Field Malone and Mrs. Mo. Adoo were among the holders of re- served seats who could not enter for time.
 Finally they got in by means of fire escape.

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN JAAINlED TO ROOF
 AS PRESIDENT WILSON ENDS HIS CAhIPAIG

to the other nations of the world that so far as we are concerned, justice must be done among all mankind.
 Let us first heal our own divisions. Let us first see that we are a united and irresistible nation, and then let us put all that force at the service of humanity in order that men may say that they know what human rights are, and they love and understand nothing but what is humanely right.
 That is the simple message that I have come to deliver to you. I want to say that I believe the forces of this nation are gathered for a dem onstratlOn of power on the part of public opinion on the 7th of Novem- Der next such as has never been dis played in the world before. This great tide of opinion is rising not for the purpose of estroying anything, but for floating all those Happy auguries in which men may travel who know they are bound for the finest goals of human ambition.
 '"This tide of humanity yelling in America is sweet with the purposes of peace; it is wholesome with the Judgments of justice, and when it has come to the flood men will SC that It is great body meant to drive all the industries of the world by the pulse of heartbeat of men who love the world and believe in their fellow men:
 Noted though it is for the enormous crowds that have gathered there dur ing campaigns, Madison Square Gar den has never before held such a throng as greeted the President last night. While outside the building the police were at a loss how to handle the great crowds, inside the fire re- strictions had to be abandoned or the walls pushed out. The aisles were damned, every seat was taken, there was such a crowtd standing that move ment was impossible.

 Befort the police could get after these men many had gained uncon- ventional entrance. Those who did were cheered by the less fortunate held behind
 Crowd Blocks Mrs. Eousc's Way.
 Mrs. E. M. House, wife of the Presidents adviser, found herself hemmed in when her automobile reached the police lines. After she and others in her party had heen held back for several minutes word was at length sent to Inspector Mor- ris. Even the Inspector had a diff fcult job in getting through to where she was, and when he got to her he was unable to offer her very much assistance because the persons inside the Garden. supposedly in charge of the doors, refused to open them.
 Morris tried all the doors but was turned back at each of them. Finally he led the party through the lines to the Twentyseventh street side of the building and up the fire escapes to the balcony doors. That was the way they entered.
 Police lines had been established a block from the Garden on three sides. These were at Twenty eighth and Twenty fifth streets and at Fifth avenue. The fourth line was on Fourth avenue.
 The scheduled time for opening the
 
 ris, who took charge at 4 o'clock, said the doors were not open until 7:10. Other persons say the doors were opened at 6:10, but were closed again at 6:30. It was shortly after that the rush came which took off the main gates.

CTS of all of these in numbers and In enthusiasm. At times so great was the noise that the floor shook with the stamping of feet. This happened not once but many times.
 Chief Inspector Max Schmittberger, who has been in charge of the police
 at all of the big meetings in the Gar den, said that in numbers the crowd outside it was bigger than the assem- blaze that greeted William Jennings Bryan.
 600 Policemen Overwhelmed. Collectively docile, 1t was individu- ally riotous, overwhelming the 800 po- licemen detailed to keep it in order.

CURRENT COMMENT
Grumblers the Exception.

1t is unfortunate that so many mac
curate rumors have found their way into
print in connection with the experiences
of the first Vermont infantry on their
| trip to the border. There is always more
or less grumbling about military camp,
| lust as there il at womans sewing
circle, but the grumblers in neither case
represent the general sentiment. 1t is
not true that the men did not have SUI
ticient or suitable clothing and shoes at
Eagle Pass The quartermaster, Capt.
Harry n. Eastman, was one of the most
efficient officers Of the regiment, 1t was
understood that if any quartermaster
could get through requisition promptly
he could The regiment was well clothed
and comfortably shod, and the word OF
Col. Reeves that the first Vermont was
better equipped when they arrived on the
border than was his regiment of the reg
ular army in the Santiago campaign IN
1898 should put a stop to all cavil.
Neither is it true that the students oil
the University of Vermont were all
"grouchers.' complaining of the hard
work that falls to the lot of the soldier,
whining to get home, and vowing that
they would never enlist in the militia
again. Company G had its full share OF
the work and under Captain Cootey ac-
quilted itself creditably II they had
been let alone, without home pressure
to get back to college, they would have
stood to their tasks as Loyalty as any
one Anyone who knows the spirit OF
college students knows that the univer-
sity boys would respond to another call
just as eagerly.
Vermont must keep up its military
spirit. The first infantry should be
maintained in its present high state OF
efficiency. Some day, and perhaps not
very far in the future, president Of
steady purpose viii send out call to the
colors, and then Vermont must be ready. |

The experience OF the passengers and

very serious because of the fact that
American waters are outside of the war

to be free from dangers incident to war
fare. While no international rules have
been violated as yet in the German at
