Washington, Oct. determination by
the allied nations of the worlds raw

clusively to officials here by the COM
pletion today of a comprehensive sum-
mary of British trade policies as to i'm
ports into this country. AS a result
the recent Paris economic conference
of the Entente Powers is regarded here
with far greater disquiet than before
The proposed commercial war after
the war at first was viewed skeptical-
ly as outlined policies which could not
survive the heat of war or the opera
ton of perennial economic forces is
now looked upon as a more practical
proposition. Consequently an earnest
study of the fact available is being
made and every effort is being exerted
to supplement the information now at
hand.
Decreasing Confidence
Every indication since the confer
ence has tended to decrease the feel
ing that its provisions could not be
carried through. Since then. it is point
ed out the blacklist which had been
enforced by England for some time has
been accepted in principle by all the
allies. What Is more the agreement

No drill was held in the forenoon. as
the mastering out and paying off OF
the soldiers took three hours and SO
minutes. The big truck which has done
SO much good work for the End Maine
during the four months Of active SER
vice was against brought into use on
wednesday and made a great many trips
from the depot to the camp and back.
The company streets on Wednesday
morning looked as though they had
been recently subjected to heavy shell
fire. the tents with the &c" marks be-
ing ripped and torn so that it was in
many cases easier to go into them by
the back than from the front. This
was partly on account of the festivi-
ties on Tuesday night, when the men
had parade. beating on iron stove
pipes, shouting and singing, shooting
into the air, and celebrating their last
night in camp, a good many of the con-
demned tents suffering severely in
consequence.

Interesting Features

An interesting feature of the loan is,
according to the firms announcement
that, because of the easy money mar
ket here. it was arranged in advance of
the time contemplated by the British
government. Another is that it is ex-
pected to cause for time at least a
cessation of the inflow of flour gold to
this country which is said to have
caused apprehension in banking cir
cles of late because of danger of in
f1ation and fictitious values.

New York, Oct. 25-Charles E.
Hughes tonight told an audience
in the Academy of Music, Brook
Ign, that in his opinion the young
men of the nation should support
the Republican ticket at the next
election Five chief reasons were
cited, in answer to the question:
what sort of a country does
Young America, vibrant with pa
triotism, desire
Mr.. Hughes answered the
question in part as follows:
"First, he wants q country respected
throughout the world. He wants 4
country which respects the dignity Of
its citizenship.
"Second, Young America must desire
country that is prepared for every
emergency.
"Third, Young America, looking
ahead, must desire that when peace is
once more restored we shall contribute
to its mainte nance by doing our proper
share to secure q practicable and ef.
fective interest organization in the in
terests Of peace.
"Fourth, Young America wants gov
eminent in the open by visible consti-
tutionai instruments, not by unofficial
spo<esmen or invisible authority. He
also wants a government not sectional,
but truly national.
"Fifth, Young America wants indus
trial preparedness"
On Preparedness
In citing his second reason. Mr.. Hughes
assailed the administration. for lack of
preparedness, referred to manifest de-
fects in the army reorganization bill,
declared that the navy department had
incapable leadership and touched upon
a recommendation by Secretary Garri-
son in June, 1914, that the regular army
be filed to it's full strength recon-
mendation, Mr.. Hughes said, that had
been ignored.
II am informed upon competent au-
thority,'' Mr. Hughes said, that had
there been the addition to the regular
army then desired by Secretary Garri-
son it would not have been necessary to
send our national guard to the border"

Ashland, Me, Oct 25.-The belief
that Arthur Rafferd. aged 20, took his
own life after accidentally shooting
himself today while hunting was ex-
pressed when his. body was found by

back of his farm
His parents heard two shots soon af-
ter he left the house and two hours
later became worried because of his
failure to return. A search revealed his
body. 1t was apparent the gun had
been discharged while the boy was
trying to remedy some trouble and shot
himself through the abdomen. He drag
ged himself about 10 rods towards his
home, but finding 1t impossible to
reach there is believed to have reloaded
the gun and shot himself under the left
ear.

Will Hold Border Guard
Moreover, the impression stood out
clearly from all thes views expressed
that while the present situation exists
there is little possibility that the forces
of regulars or national guardsmen on
the border will be reduced
A Breaking.up Process
Coupled with ugly reports which dis
parage the stability of Gen. Carranza's
regime and interpret his removal from
Mexico City to Queretaro, a sign of the
breaking-up process which his enemies
have repeatedly predicted, the military
movements of Villa now making for
midable campaign in Chihuahua are
regarded here as menacing de facto
control of the whole northern coun-
try.
Prominent in the whole situation are
apparently well-founded but indefinite
reports of the connection Of the So
called Legalista movement with the
whole train of events which are ex-
pected by those familiar with the
Mexican situation to develop within q
short time.
At the same time reports came to the
war department that Villas campfres
were in sight of Chihuahua City and Gen.
Trevino, the Carranza commander there.

and receiving reinforcements was short
of ammunition and considering evacuat-
ing the capital. As matter Of military
strategy. it was pointed out that Villa.
once occupying Chihuahua, could compel
the surrender Of Juarez as he did easily
once before and at another stroke might
take Torreon, Monterey and Saltillo,
which would be military factor some
what different from the bandits for whose
capture the military expedition was sent.
