CRITIC
ASKS ENGLAND
To HELP MORE

LONDON, Nov. 13.-The Express
features an article in today's issue by
a French military writer, Captain
Philippe Miilet, calling on Great Brit
ain to take over more of the western
front and relieve the French.
Captain Millet says it is necessary
to speak plainly, that the alliance OF
Great Britain and France cannot be
based on a mere exchange of compli-
ments and that all Frenchmen are
wondering whether the English fully
realize what is happening In France.
He says the French recognize CRATE
fully what Graf Britain has already
done but feels that the time has come
for the British army to relieve the
French more efficiently.
The writer cites utterances of
French deputies to support his claim
and remarks that the British are hold
ing only $50 klometers of the front
compared to the French $50 kilomet-
erS.

SOLDIER VOTE
REDUCES LEAD
HUGHES HELD

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 13.-The
vote of Minnesota's soldiers on the
border has trimmed the pleurality for
Charles E. Hughes to $50, according
to latest returns available. Today
the figures stand 1860 for Wilson
to 1883 for Hughes in the state.
The latest guardsmen vote heard from
was that of Fairmount county, whose
troops of the second regiment voted
q for Wilson to II for Hughes. This
gain of ten for Wilson cut the Hughes
lead to 250. 1t is likely that the work
of tabulating returns will begin at
the state capitol today, when the re-
ports of county officials are expected
to arrive.

SAYS POSTAL CLERKS
COMPELLED T0WQRk
over EIGHT HOURS

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-In a letter
to President Wilson made public to-
day, Thomas E. Flaherty, secretary
and treasurer of the National Fedora
tion of Postoffice Clerks, entered a
protest against working pOstoffice
clerks more than eight hours a day.
The letter calls the attention of the
president to the fact that law passed
by congress provided that clerks shall
not be required to work more than
eight hours day within ten hours and
for working in excess of this are to be
paid overtime in proportion to their
salaries.
"This law contemplated that only in
emergencies should more than eight
hours be required" Mr.. Flaherty said
in his letter. yet in many of the
large postoffices, notably New York,
Chicago, Boston and Cleveland, the
clerks are forced daily and nightly to
work ten, eleven and even twelve
hours"

RAIDS
ON BORDER
FEARED
Members Of the U. S. Army
General Staff Have 'Hunch'
That Villa Is Preparing
for a Spectaclar Stunt

Washington. Sept. 15.--The pri-
vate, whispered hunch OF many men,
bers OF the army general stan circu-
lated through the war department
today Is that Francisco villa is plan
ming what he hopes to be o mixture
OF sweet revenge and the coup d'etat
Of his spectacular up and down life.
Inquiry from several members Of
the star today developed the same
answer to the question: do you be-
lieve Villa Is alive?"
The answer inevitably was: 'T
most certainly do"
And almost inevitably detailing of
the hunch followed. Each officer
emphasized 1t was a pure hunch, :"
but based on letters that read very
much like similar letters received a
month or two prior to the last Mex
lean crisis, which caused at least one
major general to prophesy just what
afterward occurred.
The hunch is that Villa. nursing
resentment over the Carranza recog-
milton by the United States, plans a
series OF lightning like border raids.
Just as close to election time as com
patible with strategy. Army officers
generally do not fear any real villa
activity until Pancho has spent sew
eral weeks more gathering ammuni-
tion and as many of his old follow
ers as possible, in order to make It
necessary for the Carranza-U United
States field armies to enter into oper-
ations against him on larger scale
than either would want to at such a
time.
