NEW YORK. Nov 16.- Recent news reports have contained ire quent reference to the great in- crease !n the production of war sup plies in England. and France. Tray elers returning 70 this, country have unanimously declared these countries are now able to make ell the shells and other munitions they need and will depend on the United States only for raw materials, in copper steel. etc. And similar statements have been attributed to semi-ofiic- ial sources.
 But the munition manufacturers in this country are not at all sure they will have to return exclusively to ordinary commercial products af- ter orders now on their books for munitions are completed. Similar statements were numerous and ap- parently authentic in the early sum mer of this year or just before a large volume of shell business was placed.

 Today. they suggest, it appears that similar tactics are being pur- sued. While there are no definite inquiries in the market and there is no question that shell production. in Britain. particularly, has increas- ed enormously within the last year or 90. they say that indications are that England. and possibly France, will again enter these markets for proiec;iles and other war needs.

 It Again.
BOTH LOSE IN SECOND

 It is agreed that Wickersham's plurality in the Second Division will be reduced-probably to less than 100 votes.
 It is claimed that sulzer will al- most certainly carry the Fourth Di- vision.
 It is believed there will be little change in the First and Third Di- visions.
 There are five more precincts to be reported in the Seeond Division. The two large ones, Dime and Mar shall City, with approximately 25o votes are said to be strongly for Sulzer The other three-with less than 100 votes combined-are said to be an even break
 The mnoko and Kuskokwim pre- cincts of the Fourth Division that have not been reported, are admitted 10 be for Sulzer. The Wickersham people claim that their votes will be offset by a Wickersham plu- rality in the Koyukuk The support CTS of Senator Sulzer do not admit that Wickersham will carry the Koy- ukuk. They expect sulzer to have a plurality of not lses than DO in the Fourth Division
 The Wickersham people expect the Third Division to increase the Wick ersham plurality there to 25O. The Sulzer supporters say that it cannot exceed 200.
 The News-Miner still claims that Sul5er's plurality in the Territory will be 25O. There seems to be sound basis for the claim. It is admitted that there is little danger but that sulzers plurality will be

 HERE THE GREAT
 ELECTION AIDS

CHICAGO. Nov. 15.-The result Of ,he election on Nov. Eth was the greatest proof ever offered of the value ot intelligent newspaper ad- ve.tising. advertising experts point out.

Indiana, Illinois and most of the so-called eastern pivotal sta ,ious.
 West of the Mississippi the Re- pGbucans did very little advertising in newspapers. The Democrats swampel the papers with advertise men;s in the western states. Hughes carried only three states west Of the Mississippi. and his losses in chat region defeated him for the Presidency.
