COCHRAN'S COMMENT

- @4N4 "A y - )NS4VA4NAAA4N
LOOKING FORWARD. - When
Bill Thompson became mayor I
wrote some open letters to him, in
which pointed out the pitfalls in his
pathway history now records
the fact that he stumbled into every
one Of them. He had the best chance
a mayor ever had to earn the con-
fidence and gratitude of all the peo-
pie of Chicago, except the profess
sional politicians. But he began US
ing the patronage of his Office to
build up political machine-and the
very people who elected him have
turned in and swatted the machine.
That's what MiIler's crushing defeat
meant, when the rest of the Repubi-
can county ticket went through. Mil
Ter didn't count, the people were
swatting the Lundin-Thompson ma
chine.
Not many months ago Sullivan's
heutenants were Dragging about
their marvellous Democratic "organ-
ization," which, is the polite name
for machine. Dennis Egan, Judge
Scully's chief clerk of the election
board, was heralded as the great or
ganizer, the big chief of Chicago's
new Tammany. told the boys then
that the people would swat the ma
chine, and informed Judge ScuIly
that if he didn't watch out his organ
izing chief clerk would organize him
out of job. Well, the good folks not
only swatted the Lundin-T Thompson
machine by swatting Miller, but they
swatted the Sullivan machine at the
same time by swatting every Demo-
cratic candidate who had the SuTH-
van label on.
Now while Miller didn't count,
Connery did. COnnery was bigger
than the Sullivan machine, and at a

UB0AT QUESTION
LOOMING SERIOUS
State Department Is PREPARING
Data For President Wilson
Has Some Ugly
Phases.

Washington. Nov. ia complete
summary Of the situation growing out
of recent activities of German subma-
rines is being prepared at the state de-
partment for submission to President
Wilson IN his return to Washington
Sunday.
While officials are not inclined to
discuss the subject in it's present state,
they admit informally that the outlook
is more disturbing than it has been at
any time since the sinking Of the chan
mel steamer Sussex.
Official information still is incom-
plete on all the cases being investi-
gated by the department. including
those Of the British passenger liner
Arabia and the British freighter Ma
rtna, on which six Americans lost their
lives. Reports from British sources
have said that both ships were tor
pedoed without warning.
Aside from the specific cases about
which inquiry is being made, disquiet
has been caused here by the general
sweep submarine warfare has taken
recently. Officials fear that the sub
marines are operating on such a scale
and under such conditions that 1t may
be impossible for them to avoid en-
~dangertng Americans.

P[EASES
FOREIGN NATIONS
French Newspapers Says 1t Is
Pronunciamento Against War
and Puts NeW.Life In
Neutrality.

Paris. Nov. 13.-The
while printing the news Of the Ameri-
a election in a prominent position,
express little opinion as to the result.
What comment there is. is sympathetic
to President Wilson.
The Petit Journal says:
President Wilson'S victory is highly
satisfactory to US for two reasons The
first is that for four years American
foreign policies will be free from all
electoral considerations, as h consti-
tuition forbids President Wilson from
seeking q third term; the second rea-
son is that the result of the election
must put new life in American neu-
trality. Evidently an immense ma
jority of the electoral pronounced
against war. but, apart from the mill
lions OF voters who approved h vigor
with which the president forced the
Germans to cede on the submarine war
questions. other millions voted for
Hughes because he demanded an even
firmer defense of American rights. The
chief executive is obliged to take into
account this double wish. Just as
Hughes would not have ignored the
take into consideration the condemna-
ton of a line Of policy which Roose-
Welt has characterized as backbone
less"
The Matin n the Parisien express
the same view. The latter paper con-
cludes:
TT is because he has played a very
honorable role in a grave crisis that
the American people have renewed
their mandate to President Wilson. In
1912 he owed his election to the d.
vision of his adversaries. This time
he owes it to his prestige, to his cleo
toral campaign and to the confidence
which he deserved.
1T is possible that his policy will
now become firmer and clearer, that.
profiting by experience, he will aspire
to play q larger role and to rise up as
q more determined champion of the
law of nations"

SEIZES MAILS TO
 GET BELGIAN STOCKS.

WASHINGTON: Unofficial advices received today by the State Depart ment indicate that Great Britain's recent seizure of mail in transit from Europe to the United States were prompted by a desire to recover Bel gian and French securities confis- cated by German authorities.
 Such securities, all of high conner cial value, 1t was said, have been sent from German sources to this country to be sold, the mails of Switzerland and Holland being used for their movement.
 The State Department has asked Great Britain for statement of facts interference with mails. Page of London and agents of the department in Holland and Switzerland are expected to for ward information on the subject. A protest may be the result.
 American officials hold that the le- gality of Great Britain's action is questionable under existing postal Great Britain, however, con- tends that both military necessity and treaty rights gave authority for the seizure.

CRANKY CLOSES
 F0R THE WINTER
High Wind of Last Week Partly Wrecked Buildings at Urper
 Workings Delaying Work

The intensely cold weather which has prevailed during the past ten days has caused the Ramsay-Rutherford mine near the Valdez glacier and the Granby mine in Solomon gulch, over the bay from Valdez, to suspend oper- ations for the balance of the winter.
 The storm up at the Granby mine is reported to have been much more severe than in Valdez and the miners believe that the wind attained veloc- ity of seventy-five miles an hour. The buildings at the Upper workings were slightly wrecked but the aerial tram escaped damage.
 Mine Foreman Palmer Cook, who is in town today, reports that the de- velopment work at the mine will be suspended for at least two months, as the water supply has been frozen and that operations cannot be carried on to advantage before the first of March.
 The miners who have been working for the Granby and who have been made idle through the result of the cold snap are Howard Conrad, Carl Hauser, Henry Myers, Billy Jones, Gus Gravelle, Pete Minelli, M. Peb- coff, and Norman Merchant, all of whom are Valdez men.
