 ingness to Embassy.

Washington, Nov Eff the agents of the German merchant submarine Deutschland will signify that she is available for carrying mail to Ger many the post office department will be so notified in a formal communi- cation from the German embassy.
 Count Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador, has asked the agents to inform him on the subject. The post office department already has de- clared it's willingness to accept a pro- posal to establish a regular underseas mail service.
 The embassy's plans for the estab- lishm ent of this service are progress ing notwithstanding statemests made in New London yesterday by pr. George Ahrens an attache who in ferred that it was unlikely that the Deutschland would carry United States mail. No explanation of the attaches statements was offered to- day at the embassy.

JUMP DEMURRAGE RATES
Drastic Increase in Charges for Fail ure to Discharge Freight Within IS Hour Period Effective Soon.

Local manufacturing concerns to- day received notice from the New York, New Haven Ss Hartford Rail- road company of a new and increased system Of demurrage charges which is effective December | Under the present system which has been opera tive for years charge of $1 a day is made on every car held on siding over forty eight hours Under the new system the charge is doubled for the first day and an extra dollar is charged for each day including the fourth day when the charge becomes $5 day and remains at that figure until the car is unloaded.
 The aim of the new order is evi- dent, namely to expedite unloading and get the cars back into service again in order to prevent another freight blockade such as occurred last winter. That the order will have an immediate effect is not doubted as re- ceivers of carload shipments will un- questionably make strenuous efforts to discharge shipments rather than pav the drastic demurrage charges which is the penalty for neglect.
 As matters stand under the dollar system many manufa cturers and handlers of bulk shipments have been paying demurrage to the extent of thousands of dollars, largely owing to the scarcity of help and the con- sequent difficulty of unloading cars within the 40 hours free time

HUGHES FINISHING
 LONG CAMPAIGN TRIP 2S,000 Miles of Harangue Against Democrats Will
 Be Over Soon.

Albany, N Y, Nov. 3.-Charles E. Hughes ends his travels as a presi- Gential candidate today. He left Albany at S:15 a. m., for New York city, spending the day campaigning c.own the Hudson River Valley and addressing evening meetings in F >0k- lyn. Today's journey was the " l. up of four campaign trips which have carried him approximately 2S,0)0 miles, through thirty-three states He started August from New York and has spent virtually two and oNe- half months on the road, not count ing three brief periods of rest. Dur ing his campaign he has visited the chief cities of every northern and New England state except Vermont has been through the middle west four times and has appeared in every western and northwestern state.
 In addition Mr. Hughes has visited the four so-called border states of Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri and has spent one day in Tennessee, at Nashville. The nomi- nee has visited his home in Wash irgton, D. C., only once since leaving 1t the day after his nomination and then only for two days to attend to personal business.
 In mileage and extent of time the campaign has been one of the longest made in recent years by a republican nominee It has carried him from Bangor. Me-, and furthest northeast crn point, to San Diego, California;; from Canada to within a few miles of the Mexican border. Apparently the strenuous campaign has agreed with him, for today he appears to be somewhat heavier and in better physical trim than when he started Hudson, N. Y, Nov. 3.-In his speech here today Charles F. Hughes made the tariff his chief theme and assailed the democratic party for it's failure to reduce the high cost of living.
 ''I think they were just as eloquent in promises four years ago as they are today" Mr. Hughes said.
 "They told us, for example, that there was the high cost of living. They told us that they were going to reduce it and that if We would only but them in power they would show ur how the high cost of living was going to come down. That robust companion, however, has become more and more robust and seems to thrive on a democratic administra- tion.
 "While they did not reduce the cost of living they were eminently success ful in reducing the chances of making a living.
 "They put their principle in force with very extraordinary results. In the first place, they had a tariff for revenue only, but it was tariff that did not produce revenue. We had great falling off in revenue through tariff for revenue, while we had great increase of imports and so in time of peace we had a great increase of imports, and so in time of peace which now they emphasize, forgetting the little wars we had in Mexico, they had to pass what is called a war revenue bill to take care of the de- felt which was the result of their fiscal policy.
