IN SCHOOLS is PROTESTED

Engage in Warm Discussion Be-
fore Adopting Resolution.

BALTIMORE. Md, November o.
Delegates to the convention of the
American Federation of Labor this morn
ing engaged in a warm debate over a
resolution which protested against the
teaching of militarism in the public
schools. The preamble set forth that
''the Secretary Of War has communi :
Gated with public school authorities in
various parts Of this country. inquiring
if they We're willing to introduce mill
tary training of the boys in the schools,
and stating that the War Department
would provide instructors and rifles and
ammunition"
Andrew Furuseth. chairman OF the
committee. declared that although he
was opposed to any increase in the
standing army. it was his belief that
men who will not fight and women
who won't be mothers are an abomina- :
ton in the world"
Emil Seidl of Decatur, H., spoke of
his personal experience with militar-
ism In Germany, and declared that it
was AN outrage that the common peo-
pie should have to go out and shoot
each other, for it is not the big people
who do that"
The convention adopted the resolu-
tion and authorized the appointment of

HEARING is DELAYED ON
DISTRICT MONEY BILL
Contrary to Expectation, It Will Not
Be Taken UP Monday-Chairman
Page Unable to Get Here.

Contrary to expectation, the Iegisla-
tive, executive and judicial appropria-
tion bill will be started Monday by
hearings to be held before the sub
committee of the House appropriations
committee in charge of the bill 1t
was believed until today that the Dis
trict appropriation bill would be the
first to be started, and that it would
be the first bill to be introduced and
reported to the House. Chairman Page,
in charge of the District bill, fully
intended to be in Washington a few
days after election day, and to sum-
mon the District Commissioners and
other officials to hearing to explain
the estimates.
Representative Fitzgerald of New
York chairman of the House appro-
priations committee, TO-DAY heard from
Representative Page in a letter inform
ing Representative Fitzgerald of his
inability to be in Washington for sew
eral days. Representative Byrns of
Tennessee in charge of the Legislative
bill however, has signified his inten-
ton of being present on Monday. and
notices of these hearings are being sent
out to the various department chiefs.
There is a chance that the District
bill will be the first reported to the
House, if Representative Page and his
subcommittee care to make speed, as
the legislative bill generally takes a
longer time to make up than the Dis
trict measure.

Bitter Paris Press Comment
on Death of Francis Joseph

PARIS November 22-Although no
official confirmation of the death of
Emperor Francis. Joseph had been re-
celved in Paris early this morning. the
press generally accepted the news as
authentic. Special editions announc-
ing the emperor's death were bought
up rapidly, and the passing of the
monarch was discussed with the great
est interest In their comment the
newspapers are merciless. The Matin
says:
''The sinister old man who for sixty
eight years wore the double crown dis
appears too soon, notwithstanding his
eixhty-six years, for he has not seen
the approaching hour of explation OF
the crimes for which he will bear eter- :
naIiy in history crushing RESPONSE :
bility and stigma. But the specter of
punishment must have haunted his lat
ter days If this man. 50 monstrously
Indifferent, was accessible to any feel
ing whatever-this man who Witnessed
uninoyed the worst catastrophe heaped
up by fate on his family and mis- coun-
try The irony Of fate.
IF he had disappeared from the
scene three years sooner the world
would have forgotten his calculating
cowardice his ferocious egotism, his
hypocrisy, and would have remembered
only the private and public rnisfortunes
which marked almost all the years OF
his reign without rejecting that these
nAsfortunes were all deserved. He
Would perhaps have been pitied. But
justice has not permitted that he swim
die the world out of this supreme hom-
age 1t has made for his death a set
ting of reprobation and horror"
1t is not believed in Paris~that the
death of the emperor win affect the
war in any way. The general impress
sion here is that he had long been
more or less of a flgurehead, signing
without reading documents to which
his signature was necessary. and taxi
ing no part in affairs of state.

Francis Joseph's Successor
Not Trained to Statecraft

Archduke Charles Francis Joseph will
assume the throne of the polyglot
kingdoms of Austria and Hungary at
twepty-nfne. He has been fighting
with the armies of the dual monarchy
and is popular with all Of the peoples
who compose it. He was born August
II, 1887.
1t has long been argued. however.
that the presence of such youthful
and inexperienced monarch on the
throne in the time of such stress as
now af1icts Austria and Hungary prob
ably would have a bad effect on the
success of the central powers in the
war.
The young archduke Is not possessed
of any experience in statecraft. but is
said to have the faculty of getting
along well with every one. His wife.
the Princess Zita. also is popular. His
father was the .Archduks Otto. who

THINKS THE DEMOCRATS
WILL RULE NEXT HOUSE
Representative Oldfeld Says Repub-

Majority.

Democratic control of the next House

congressional campaign committee and
of the House ways and means commit

that he has closely followed the po-

for seats In the House in the close
states, and that it is his opinion that
the republicans will have but one more
seat than the democrats.
And that is not enough said Mr.
Oldfield. The democratic members
stand solidly together and there is
every reason to doubt if that will be
true Of the republicans Any slight
detection in the republican ranks
would yield the control to US And
even if this very likely contingency

President to Send Messages
of Coincidence to Vienna

Messages of coincidence on the death
of Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria
Hungary We're prepared at the State
Department today in expectation of
immediate official announcement from
the American ambassador at Vienna or

Wilson will send messages both to the

Congratulations to the new monarch
will not be sent until later, when his
ascension to the throne is officially re-
ported.
Views of German Embassy.
The German embassy, basing its
views upon An intimate knowledge OF
conditions i'll the dual monarchy, is
certain that the death of Emperor
Francis Joseph and the ascension OF
Charles Frances Joseph will result liz
renewed military activity of most
energetic character.
The dead monarch, by reason of his
age and his infirmities. has taken no
more than a passively active part IN
new ruler has been actively engaged
on the various fronts where the Austro-
Hungarian armies have been operating
during the last two years.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
amba ssador, feels that from an internal
political viewpoint the death OF the
Austrian emperor will not have the
| slightest effect on the war. In times
Of peace such an event might have a
strong effect.

People solidified by War.

In war time. however. the ambas-
sador believes. the people are united for
success for their arms. Furthermore.
the ambassador feels that the people OF
the dual monarchy have been SO solidi-
fied by the war that the death of their
ruler, while causing deep regret. will

said to have well defined ideas regard

LONDON, November e2-The fate of
the Rumanian armies in western Wal

the balance. The exact measure Of the
fruits gathered by the Teutonic in
vaders from their capture and occupa-
ton of the important Wallachian city
of Craivo. reported yesterday, is NOT
yet apparent. but fears are expressed
in entente quarters for the safety OF
the Rumanian forces that have been
operating in the Orsova region. on west
ern Rumanian front now that the main
line railroad has been cut at Craivo.
Also. it seems, virtually all of western
Waliachia has been won by the armies
of the central powers.
The Austro-German invasion is un-
checked. says today's announcement from
the Berlin war office Rumanian attacks
were defeated and ground was gained OF

The occupation of Craiova has not yet
been confirmed from the entente side, but
the fact that no Rumanian official report
has been issued since Sunday leaves lit
tie reason to doubt its correctness.

Prepared the Public.

The Official reports from both German
and Russian headquarters the last two
days had prepared the public for this
news of the success of the central pow
ers' thrust at Rumania. but it had been
hoped that Russia, which was known
to be sending reinforcements into Ru-
mania as fast as possible, might be IN
time to avert the blow.
Craiova Is an important town in the
center of a great grain district on the
edge of the Wallachian plain and is ap
important railway junction. Its possss-
sion by the central powers cuts the
railway communications of the Ru
manian armies holding the Orsova re-
gion to the west. AS the lines from
Turgu Jiu, south of Vulcan pass. and
from the Danube frontier opposite
Vidin pass through Craiova, the posi-
tion of the Ruma anian forces in Orsova
now is extremely critical, and they
may be compelled to evacuate the Or
sova region, the holding of which has
up to the present barred the Teutontc
allies from the use of the Danube.
