Raemaekers About
ToQuit Hearst; Some
Cartoons Suppressed

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Louis Rae
maekers, the famous Dutch cartoonist
who has been employed by the Hearst
newspapers. is about to divorce himself
from that organization. Differences Of
opinion regarding the subject matter
of his cartoons are said to have been
chronic. Recently the misunderstood
ing was made acute by changes in titles
and the suppression OF some drawings.
There was friction between Rae
maekers and the Hearst organization al
most from the beginning. The original
agreement provided that the cartoons
were TO be run as submitted, and that
the captions, should not be changed.
But captions were changed repeatedly.
In one instance it was done so hurried
ly as 70 show on the printed newspaper
page. There were rumors that Rae
maekers would retire on the ground
that his contract had been broken, and
this was about to happen, in fact. when,
several weeks ago, a new agreement
was drawn up. Il was more binding in
it's terms than the first. Apparently 1t
did not hold any better.
There was some surprise that Rae
maekers should have accepted con-
tract with the Hearst papers in the
first place. He explained 1t by saying
that he regarded himself as missionary
70 the editors as well as to the readers
Of those papers. His work, he be-
leyed. would be more startling and
more effective in the Hearst publica-
tions than in newspapers that were al
ready pro-Ally.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1l.-Less than
per cent of the $4,000, 900 which

Karolyi Plotted for
Peace With Caillaux,
Says Budapest Paper

WASHINGTON, Oct. u.-According
to a dispatch received here from Switz-
erland, one OF the chief actors con-
nected with the pro-German conspir-
acy Of Bolo Pacha is the Hungarian
political leader Count Michael Karolyi.
The Budapest "Az Sag" organ OF
the former Prime Minister. Count
Tisza. announces that Karolyi seven
weeks ago made secret journey to
Switzerland, met there VI. Caillaux and
discussed with him the possibility Of 4
separate peace between France and the
Central Powers.
Count Ksrolyi at the outbreak Of the
war was in a French watering place,
and was for time interned by the
French authorities. lie was later re-
leased and permitted 20 return TO Hun
gary. II has 6een alleged that this
was done chiefly owing to Csillsux's
Intervention.

that this vast undertaking must not
be lcf, to the people OF great wealth,
as no such sum can be subscribed ex-
cept by the earnest cooperation of all
the people of the country.
at is estimated that in the first cam
paign there were about 5,0O0,OO0 sub
scribers, and with the better organ
ization now available and the large
amount of educational work which has
been done, the country should be able
to count at the close OF the campaign
subscriptions from at least 100000
people"
Analysis of the returns shows that
the Reserve Bank Of New York has
placed in actual subscriptions more
than twice as much as the rest of the
country. These figures, Of course, do
not tell the entire story, as man. thou

Restored Alsace
Again demanded
George
Premier Says Kuehl-
mann's Statement Will
Prolong War


LONDON. Oct. ll.-Premier Lloyd
George, addressing a delegation OF IN
surance committees, who called to-day
TO urge a readjustment Of health in
surance and the establishment OF
ministry Of health, declared that all
the nations thoughts and energies
were taken up by the terrible demands
made in defence of liberty and free
dom. He wished he could see the end,
but the task which the nation had
taken in hand must be accomplished.
He could not think Of any statement
more calculated TO prolong the war
than the assertion Of the German For
eign Secretary, Won Kuehlmann, that
Germany would never contemplate the
making Of concessions to France re-
specting Alsace-Lorraine.
However long the war lasted, said
the Prime Minister, England intended
to stand by her gallant ally. France,
until she redeemed her oppressed chill
dren from the degradation Of foreign
yoke. This meant that the country
must husband its resources, and, when
demands were put forward for I'M
movements here and there, his answer
was: concentrate upon victory
For the moment, every claim upon
the Exchequer must be considered IN
the light of the terrible possibilities
of the war, and when the war was
over, in a freer. happier atmosphere,
the country could begin to rebuild, re-
construct and regenerate.
Addressing a war aims meeting at
Liverpool tonight, former Premier AS
quith referred to recent declarations oy
German statesmen and writer's, and said
that his previously expressed skepv
cism regarding the Reichstag's peace
resolution was justified by the event,
for the German parties had been
scuabbling ever since with infinite
acrimony concerning its orthodox IN
ternretation, and confusion had be-
come worse confounded with the pub
lieation of the Chsncellor's reply 10
the Papal note.
Doubtless, said Mr.. Asquith, IN both
Germany and Austria, there was
widespread and genuine desire for
! nesce. and in the Reichstag itself.
slender as were its powers and divided
it's counsels. there were Indications Oh
a growing spirit of revolt against the
government methods.
Mr.. Asquith referred to the speech
Of tho German Foreign Secretary, Dr.
Won Kuehlmann, respecting Aisaee-
Lorraine, and said:
German diplomacy is not celebrated
for deftness, but even in ITS annals IL
will Re difficult 70 find more clumsy
or more transparent manoeuvre tnan
this maladroit attempt TO sow discord
between ourselves and our Frencn
Allies. Won Kuehlmann relegates the
Belgian question to secondary posi-
ton. ,Lc

Operators Will Fight

Operators VIII right
The tugboat operators have decided
70 make no concessions. They declare
that they cannot afford to meet the de-
mands of the men. and that they nre
prepared TO let their vessels remain
idle in the docks.
Unless the Federal government takes
hand in the adjustment Of the sitpa-
ton, it seems likely that the entire
harbor may remain throttled indefi-
nitely.
Over 80 per cent Of all tugs, barges
and steam lighters are now engaged
under contract with the United States
Transport Service, and the owners have
filed bonds guaranteeing that their
craft will be ready at all times and for
all periods Of service needed by the
government. If the masters, engi-
neers, deckhands, hremen, cooks and
boatmen make good their threat TO
quit work, the boat owners have de
cided to take no initiative, even though
they sre obligated by government con-
tracts.
They expect that the federal govern
ment will order them to resume serv-
ice. and they will reply that they will
gladly do so if the government viii
give a similar order 10 their deserting
crews.
In their ultimatum the Marine Work
ers' Affiliation has said nothing about
striking. They simply say that If the
owners do not respond 10 their demand
.heir designations Will take effect at
6 a. m. on November !, 1917, or at the
change Of watches.
Licenses Are a Factor
1t is said that the masters, mates
and pilots and the engineers are Jeal-
Gus Of their government certificates,
which give them the right TO ply their
trade in New York and adjacent
waters, and that any threat to strike
at this time when the government
needs their services might invalidate
their certificates.
According TO the tugboat owners the
pay of masters Of tugs and lighters
! has been raised voluntarily S5 month
| twice since June l, and engineers have
/ been raised from $50 10 $l20 within
I the last six months.
"The masters and engineers OF our
service" said the head OF a prominent
towing company yesterday. "are fine
lot of men, and il is my opinion they
are content with their treatment
There is a sinister force of labor work
ing upon them, however, and ! fear
they have been compelled to submit to
il. We made a survey recently and
found that Of the crews of 1913 tug
boats in this harbor only nine men
were members Of a union"

My boys in France-my little boy
He's playing he's a soldier, and that a
great war
Is waging among the nations Of the
world.
He wrote me letter-a dear, funny
About great world war for dem
ocracy,
And his own determination
To let his hearts blood seep through
the slime of the trenches
In the cause of liberty and honor.
Oh, how 1 laughed! My dear little boy,
With baby heart so full Of dreams Of
doing.
|. Of course, he's only playing,
you know
He always loved to make believe"
and play
He was a soldier.
His playful letter says:
'"The stencil of strife-breWn madness
That seethes
ABOVE the trench-tOrn fields OF France
Is sitting my soul"
But, 10, he can't fool me: I see him,
When, with tired eyelids dropping,
I drift into my dreams-I see him
AS he really is
My chubby little youngster, with fat,
bare legs,
Chasing summer zephyr
AS it murmurs through the orchard;
While quiet, with the sweet content
That only a mother knows
sit and sew and dream
The other day neighbor
Condoled with me, and said she was
sorry
To hear about my boy.
But Of course she doesn't know
The only thing that matters is your
dream.

The Fennimore Times wants to know
why all the fuss and trouble was made
in having married men register when
they were exempted after all. Well,
Times, there are several reasons: In
the first place, the president wanted to
get a complete record and count of all
the men in the nation Of fighting age.
1t is by no means certain that married
men will not be called eventually. To
get this record it was necessary to
register every man-married, physic-
ally unfit, insane, convicts-in fact, all
classes within the age limit. The
point is that anything other than a
sweeping ruling would have let down
the bars and made the registration a
failure. Finally, each state has acted
according to it's own wisdom in making
exemptions. Some have taken married
men. The only thing the government
could do was to establish general
rules and allow the various state
boards to work the details out for their
respective commonwealth.
