To Ignore Mediation Move.

Washington.-No offer of mediation
from any source will be entertained
by President Wilson, except on the
condition that Germany abandons her
present ruthless submarine warfare.
Nor has the report of an impending
declaration of war by Germany made
any impression on the President.
This, in short, is the reply of the
administration to the efforts that are
being made, unoficially at present, to
sound out this government If it will
entertain any suggestion from neutral
sources for mediation between the
United States and Germany previous
to the meeting Of Congress, when a
declaration of the existence of state
Of war between the United States and
Germany will be promptly adopted.
Overtures from the Swiss government
through DR.. Paul Ritter, the minister
in Washington who took over German
interests when Count Won Bernstorff
was given his passports, will not be
encouraged.
Indeed, it has already been diplo-
matically intimated to DR.. Ritter that
any efforts on his part to stem the
course of events will be futile, and
therefore, any plans his government
may have might as well be abandoned
in advance.

Washington. - American Consul
AAhin, at Amsterdam, cabled the
State Department that the American
steamer Healdton, sunk by a sub
marine Wednesday of TeFschelFng,
Holland, was torpedoed without warn
aog and that 20 of the crew were
drowned.
The Consul's dispatch follows:
standard oil ship Healdton, from
Philadelphia for Rotterdam, cargo oil,
toFpedoed without warning Sis even
ing Of 21st, Is miles north of Ter
schelling. Holland. Twenty of crew
drowned. One died of injuries. Others
taken to north of Holland. Sub
marine seen after torpedoing."
The sinking of the Healdton adds
another grave chapter to the story of
war waged against American shipping
by Germany to be laid before Con-
gress by President Wilson at the
special session he has called for
April 2.
The Healdton was unarmed, having
left port before the President author
lied the Navy to furnish guns and
gunners to merchantmen. Her fate
serves to heighten the profound inter
est with which the government and
the public awaits the time when an
American vessel prepared and ready
to send a shell into a hostile sub.
marine on sight will enter the war
zone.

ACCIDENT CAUSES
 DEATH OF JUDGE
 H'bRIDE AT GLOBE
Federal Mediator In Globe Miami Labor Trouble and at Jerome is Killed By Mad dened, Runaway Horse.
fBy Review Leased Wire,

GLOBE, Oct. 9.-Judge John Mic Bride, federal mediator in the Globe Miami copper strike troubles and the only ex-president of the American Federation of Labor, was killed al most instantly today when runaway broncho kicked him through the plate glass front of a downtown store. A number of arteries were cut, and he bled to death a short time after being taken to the hospital.
 Horse Runs Away
 The horse belonged to a grocery so- licitor, and when the latter mounted him he became frightened and threw him. He then tore up Broad street at wild gallop. Judge Mcbride was standing on a street corner with a small group. As the horse approached it stumbled. fell and rolled near the judge. and it was in the animals mad scramble to get to it's feet that it kicked Mcbride in the pit of the stomach. hurling him through the glass front. A number of citizens who witnessed the accident administered first aid. and Judge Mcbride was rushed to the county hospital. where he died at 12:50 D. m.. less than three hours after the accident.
 The casualty came to Secretary of Labor Wilson, who is here with the federal labor commission looking into the labor conditions in Arizona, as a great shock. The two men had been warm friends since 1885.
 Active in Ohio
 Judge Mcbride was president of the Ohio Miners union in 1883 and 1884, during the famous Hooking valley strike. When the coal miners organ ized in 1885 he was selected as na- tional president. and when. in 1888, an effort was made to combine the

BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM, Oct 9.-(By the Associat- ed Press.-Another big atta ok was begun at dawn today against the German positions to the east and northeast of Ypres by both the Brit ish and French armies and had met with great success in the first few hours of the fighting At many places, the allied forces had battled their way forward to a depth of 1900 yards or more within the enemy territory and reports from all along the wide front indicated that everything was going in favor of the assaulting troops, not withstanding the exceedingly bad con dition of the ground due to the last few days rain.
 On the north the French had surg ed across at the Posbeek and Broen- beke rivers in the direction of Hout- houlst Forest and at an early hour were reported to be fighting around Mangelaere, about 1.5OO yards beyond their original front lines. By 3:3O o'clock they had obtained several hun dred prisoners.
 Passchendsele Taken.
 Further to the south the British had pushed the Germans back to Poel- capelle and were fighting well in the eastern outskirts of the city around a big brewery. British troops on the Gravenstafel ridge had carried their drive forward to the Passchendaele ridge and were resting about a thou sand yards southwest of the town of Passchendaele.
 Between the Ypres-Roulers railway and the village of Broodseinde the as- saulting forces had pushed forward for a considerable distance down the eastern slopes of BroOdseinde ridge and to the lower ground. East of Ypres. in the zone embracing Reutel and Polderhoek, where there has been much bitter fighting recently, the British were carrying out strong operations and it was reported that success also had been achieved there.
 North of Broodseinde.
 Just north of Broodseinde, at Daisy Wood, the Germans were holding out strongly The British had pushed for ward and surrounded the wood and hot fighting was proceeding. The British also met with strong resist

STRENGTH OF HUN ARMY IS
 GRADUALLY
 DECREASING
French Report, Based On Ob- servations Covering Entire War, Shows That German Strength is Diminishing.
CBy Review Leased wire.)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Germany's military strength now shows a clear decrease for the first time since the war began, according to a review bas- ed upon data of the French general staff made public here tonight by the French nigh commission.
 Worn down and driven back by the never-ending pounding of the allies on the western front, the statemen. says, the Germans have made their supreme military effort after drawing heavily upon their inactive armies in the east and calling out their 1918 and part of the 1919 reserves.
 Thus, while the allies have reached and are prepared to maintain their full strength while awaiting the com- ing of Americas great army, the en- emy's resources are diminishing at the very moment when the military situa- tion demands that they increase.
 1918 Decisive Year.
 "This shows" concludes the state ment, the decisive character attend ing the operations in 1918, when three great democracies. England. France and America, will unite their en- tire strength in attacking the enemy, in conformity with the only sound principles of war"
 The commissions statement, issued through the committee on public infor- nation follows:
 Franco-German Fronts.
 Both Franco-German fronts on the Aisne, 1917, and Verdun, 1916. have al- ready been compared and it has been noted that they are practically of the same length. It has been stated that the German forces occupying them be- fore the attack were equally compar- able: F and IA divisions. It is known today that during the same per iod, from May to September, the Ger mans engaged 25 fresh divisions at Verdun, and that they have been oblig- ed to engage 45 on the Aisne Futher- more. during the equal period the French took 5.S63 prisoners at Verdun and S,553 on the Aisne.
 This comparison included only a small sector of the French front. But it showed a very interesting result due to the increase of the material forces of the allies and the improved French fighting methods since adopt ed by the other armies and also as testified by the German staff itself, apropos of the battle of the Somme, in explaining their defeat: to the perfect use of technical methods
 German Losses Heavy.
 If the above comparison is extend ed today to the entire Franco-English front, if you consider that from April Is to June 15 the enemy engaged 10S divisions against the Anglo-French forces and finally, 1T one bears in mind that the successes of the British of fensive at Ypres obliged the enemy to engage fifteen divisions during the last ten days you can understand why the German losses on the western front grew heavier and heavier.

STAPLE FOODS TO BE CONTROLLED BY
 THE GOVERNMENT
By N owe m b CT 1 President Will Issue a Proclamation Licenscing All Dealers In Twenty Staple Foods.
(By Review Leased Wire).

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Virtually all the staple foods consumed by the American people will be put under gov ernment control November 1.
 The food administration announced tonight that within a few days Presi- dent Wilson will issue an executive order requiring that manufacturers and distributors of some twenty fun damental foods operate under licenses restrictions designated to prevent un- reasonable profits and to stop specula- ton and boarding.
 Rekulations Tc Be Made
 Regulations will be prescribed for meat packers. cold storage houses. mil lers. canners. elevators, grain dealers and wholesale dealers and retailers doing a business of more than S1OO.- 900 annually in the commodities to be named. .. e. ... e.
 Prime Purpose.
 The prime purpose of the food ad- ministra -ion." the announcement said. 'is to protect the patriot against the stacker in business. It has generally been recognized that the enormous ob- ligation imposed on the American peo- pie to feed our soldiers at the front and the allies creates a disturbing fac tor in trade which allows opportunity to few to impose burdens upon the many, and that it is of vital national importance that such control shrould be exerted as will remedy, so far as maybe, the economic disturbances in- cident to the war"
 Proclamation Delayed.
 Issuance of the presidents proclama- ton has been delayed, the announce ment said. that the food administrati might complete conferences with rep resentatives of traders and producers and consumers. Already about 200
