pointinc him as the chief Of General
STAFF. But Feng had plenty OF excuses
10 decline the honor and stay IN the
c;tv of Nankin. He did not stay pas,
siye. either. II was at this critlcal
time that he brought about what Is
now known as the Nankin CONFERENCE
He invited to Nankin his fellow mill
tary commanders in the Yangtse val
ley-Chang Hsun and Nih Shlh-enshg
and others. The result was the 1or-
nation OF the Central China League
with himself as the head OF IT,.
When Yuan Shih-kai went MS way
and Ii Yuan-hung succeeded him IN the
Presidency Of China General Feng was
elected Vice-President. This IN spite
of the keenest and fercest competltlon
on the part Of such leaders as lush
Chi-jui, the present Premier, and otn-
ers Of equal prominence. HIS elecuon
told a rather singular tale. IL was
brought about largely through the
efforts of the Southern republicans
who at the time and ever since COM
manded the majority in the Parliament;
His attitude toward the monarchlcai
aspirations of Yuan Shih-kai and Mo
election to the VicePresidency through
the Southern republican efforts are tne
two things which make him tantailI-
ing "X" in the political equation. 10
be sure, at the time of his election 70
the Vice-Presidency the. attitude OF
General Feng was markedly pro-Soutn-
ern, pro-republican.
South Lacked Strong Candidate
II was true also that the Southern
republicans did not have a powerful
enough candidate at that time who had
the slightest chance of election. All
that does not quite explain away the
position of General Feng. His pro-
republican tendencies were emphasized
afresh in his attitude toward Chang
Hsun and the recent futile restoration
of the Manchu dynasty.
A number of the students of the Chi
nese politics insist to this day that
General Feng Kuo-chang is OF the North
ernS miitarist party-apparently Tor no
other reason than that he was ono OF
them once-and he has a number OF
friends among the party. OF the North
ern party of military chieftains one
should always keep in mind the fact
that there is clean line OF demarca'
ton between the Chilli party and the
Anhui party. General Feng belongs to
the Anhui party. to which belong also
Tuan Chi-jui and Tuan Chih-kuei.
As man and a leader General Feng
presents a marked contrast to Ii Yuan
hung. Ii is and has always been a
simple and rugged patriot, slow Of
mind and blunt in thought and action.
He was something of a battle-ax type,
while Feng is rapier. Under his
Presidency China is destined to see
some eventful days.

 SERIOUS SAYS
 p. A. STOVALL 
A m erica n Ambassador to Switzerland Declares That
 Answer to P ope' s Peace Note is Being Felt Abroad.
tBv Review Leased Wirel

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Oct. 12.- After four years spent in the center of Europe's colossal struggle, Pleas ant A Stovall, United States minister to Switzerland, declared on his ar rival here today that the economic situation in German is acute and that he believed the backbone of the Ger man resistance had broken down. Since the publication of Presidents Wilson's reply to Pope Benedict's peace proposals, in which the presi- dent stated tha. the United States is warning upon the German government and not upon the German people, the revulsion against war, MT. Stovall said, has been spreading rapidly through Germany.
 Reason Sinking Deep.
 "The effect Of this statement was for long time not noticeable" he as- serted, but slowly and surely it is sinking deeper and deeper into the German heart. If left to themselves the German people will make peace tomorrow.
 There is no doubt about the eco homie straits in which Germany now finds itself The situation is acute" Switzerland Neutral.
 In spite of German. French and Ita- lian influences, Minister Stovall said, Swiss neutrality has been reserved and force of 250,O0Q men watches the border constantly to prevent the passage of contraband He added that Switzerland's exercise, of board sym- pathies for the wounded brough in from three fronts was a notable chap ter of history. In Swiss hospitals there are, he said. about 25,000 pris- oners, mostly French, but English and German also. The Swiss people give entertainments constantly for them and extend aid wherever it is needed.
 MT. Stovall will go to Washington to consult with government officials and later to his home in Savannah.

TWO PARTIES IN CANADA CABINET
 FIGHT TOGETHER
Nine New Ministers, Forming Coalition Government for Dominion, Are Sworn In at the Capital, Ottawa.
(By Review Leased Wirel

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 12.-With the swearing in of nine new cabinet min isters early today the members of the Liberal Party who see in compulsory military service the only solution for bringing forth the full strength of the dominion in the prosecution of the war have joined hands with Sir Robert Bor- den and completed the rupture be- tween themselves and Sir Wilfrid Laurier which started with the intro duc.ion of the compulsory military service bill in the house of commons.
 Equal Membership.
 The new coalition cabinet will have equal representation of liberals and conservatives and while two of the lib eral selections, r. B. Carvell, New Brunswick, slated for minister of ma rine and fisheries, and George Murray, premier of Nova Scotia, who is intend ed for the labor portfolio, have not ye. consented to join the government. it is expected to be only a question of hours before they do so.
 Coming Elections.
 This lines up the leaders of the two parties for the coming election as straight supporters of compulsory mil itary service or straight opponents of this method of reinforcing Canada's fighting forces overseas, with Sir Will frid Laurier chief of the latter and hay ing as his lieutenants, Frank Oliver and William Pugsley, who were mem bers of his last cabinet.
 Doubt Exists.
 There is some doubt as to where the new arrangements leaves eGorge P. Graham, minister of railways under the Laurier administration and F. w. Pardee, chief liberal whip. both of whom voted for the military service bill at its third reading although de- claring themselves in favor of con scription of wealth as well.
 AS matters stand at present it is a little difficult to predict who will be found opposing the government and who will be supporting it when it goes to the country in the elections.

Vice Admiral Eduard von Capelle was one of the administrative direc- tors in the ministery of marine before the war and had served as a captain at sea. In March, 1916, he succeeded Admiral von Tirpitz as imperial min ister of the navy. Several times since then von Gaelic has appeared before the reichstag with optimistic state ments regarding the progress of the unrestricted submarine campaign, as late as August 26. 1917. defending the U-boat policy of his predecessor and himself at a meeting of the reich stag main committee.
 Vice Admiral von Capelle announc- ed in the reichstag last week that a plot had been discovered in the navy to paralyze the efficiency of the fleet and force the government to make peace. He said that the guilty parties had received their just deserts and at tempted to link socialists with the plot The imperial German chancel- Tor, Dr. Michaelis, also spoke of the existense of conspiracy in the navy and asserted that certain deputies were involved in the revolt
 The socialists and their newspapers have attacked both the chancellor and the vice admiral for their state ments.

SERIOUS LABOR SHORTAGE FACES
 UNITED STATES
Draft Has Taken Many Men From Essential Industries . of the Nation. Change In Exemption Policy Consid- cred.
CBy Re view, Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-The gen eral shortage of labor industries that must be kept going at top speed if the United States is to throw its whole strength into the war is giving con siderable concern to government off cials studying the situation. Condi- tions in some parts of the country already threaten production of essen tial materials.
 Large government orders reaching into every branch of industry have stimulated business to an extent nev- CT before known. Coal mines are overtaxed and railroads cannot move the couptry's freight. Shipyards are preparing to turn out as much tonnage next year as was built in the last decade.
 Munitions factories are searching the country for men.
 The first army draft took large numbers of men out of essential in dustries, and the next, unless the present exemption policy is changed. will draw as many more. Officials are given serious though to a suggestion heard in many quarters that in form ing the next draft army exemptions be applied to industries instead of individuals. Under the law as it now stands there is no provision for ex- emption of classes.
 May Change Policy
 Officials who want a general exemp- ton policy carried out point to the experience of Great Britain, with thou sands of skilled workmen who volun- teered early in the war were taken to the trenches and then returned home to their occupations. They believe that if an exemption policy is not en- forced it will become necessary to re- move men from the non-essential in dustries to those which must be maintained during the war.
 Conscription of Labor
 Suggestions of conscription of labor for armament industries have not been considered seriously, although it is be- lieved men will be asked to volunteer for selected work, such as the cutting of spruce timber in the west for the government airplanes.

Dawn Sees Start.
 BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM, Oct. 12.-(By the Associat- ed Press.)-Today' dawn again saw the great British war machine set in action across the Flanders mud fields against the German positions north east of Ypres. At an early Lour the attacking forces had penetrated sev- eral hundred yards into the enemy's territory along six-mile front, extend ing from a place near Houthoulst for est down below the Ypres-Roulers rail- way and were battling along the Pass chendaele ridge within a thousand yards of the center of Passchendaele village.
 Offensive Starts Early.
 The offensive started at 5:25 in the morning. The condition of the ground was appalling but by 7:45 o'clock the report came back that ev- erything was going well and the troops over a wide section of the front had pushed forward to a depth averaging 800 yards Or more. Prisoners already were beginning to come in. although slowly owing to the condition of the ground. The enemy's artillery bar rage was slow in response at the hour of attack and the fire was without se- verity but the Germans were putting a heavy machine-gun barrage all along the line.
 Between 4 and 4:3O this morning a large number of gas shells were thrown along the British front line
 The-chief Enemy.
 The chief enemy of the British today was not the Germans, but mud No worse conditions under foot could be imagined than those that impeded the assaulting infantry this morning. The recent rains had already turned the whole section into a vast morass in which men sank to their knees or to their waists and even were engulfed to their necks. as they made their ar duous way forward. Last. night rain again fell to add to the difficulties of the situation. but this morning the sun was struggling through the clouds casting some measure of warmth over the plain.
 Germans Not Formidable.
 So far as the Germans themselves were concerned there was no doubt in the minds of the British but that they could handle them. The emperor's troops in this section now are far less than they were. owing to the Reorganization caused in their ranks by the recent terrific blows dealt them. This is not an individual opin- ion. It is generally recognized along the front by the British and Germans too, that a change has come over the

OR JANUARY MAY SEE ANOTHER
 DRAFT CALLED
War Department is Discuss ing Advisability of Calling Another Increment. Ma tional Army Short Many Men.
(By Review Leased Wire ]

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. = Discus sion of the advisability of expeditinc the call for the second increment of the draft army now is in progress at the war department and it appears likely that the date may be fixed for some time in December or January. Mobilization of the first. increment vanced to show clearly that there will be big deficiency for the seven teen national army divisions. More than 25O.000 of the first increment are still to be assembled, but it al ready is evident that there will be available at the 16 cantonments quart CTS for an additional regiment at each post and at some for a full brigade of two regiments.
 New Recruits.
 The strength of the new regimental organization is $500 men. With a regiment lacking at each cantonment, this alone would mean a shortagle of nearly 50,0G0 men. In addition there has been authorized a separate divi- sion of negro troops which means nearly 30,000 men withdrawn from the original number assigned to the Is cantonments.
 Drafted Men Absorbed.
 The shortage is due partly to the necessity of taking out of national army men to fill up national guard divisions. Two complete national army divisions of southern troops have been absorbed in this way The remnants of three other southern na- tional army divisions will be consoli- dated to form a single divisional uni,, and the surplus men from other camps will be sent south to make up the missing divisions.
 Other Needs.
 Drafts on the national army force also must be made to fill up the en- listed personnel of the aviation serv- ice, the medical corps, and the serv- ice battalions needed behind the fight ing lines abroad. Eventually there VIII Dt EOO.OOO uucn III lut ldSl udultu service alone and aviation and the medical service will take nearly as many more though not all of them will be taken from the national army Operating to delay the calling out of the second increment to make good the shortages are several factors. Clothing and equipment is coming forward only a a rate that can meet the demands of the forces already called and the railways of the coun- try have been overburdened with the job of moving the army and its neces- sities without hindering freight ship ments vital to the allies.
 Crowder Studies Question.
 Fixing the fate of the call for the second increment probably hinges al- so upon the careful study being made by Provost Marshal General Crowder and his assistants of the result of the plan followed in assembling the men called first. Many questions have arisen which it may be desired to avoid hereafter, and substitute regu- lations to guide both local and dis trict boards, prepared in the light of what actual experience taught, may be issued to govern the second call.

morale of the invaders. Almost any prisoner would admit this fact.
 British Morale Excellent
 The spirit of the British troops. how ever. has been wonderful throughout. notwithstanding the terrible hard ships they endured in the recent op- erations. It was only yesterday that Field Marshal Haig. in speaking to the correspondent, particularly mentioned this feature and paid the highest tri- bute to the gallant work of his men from the different parts of the empire under these indescribably trying con ditions.
 Haig Everywhere.
 The British commander in chief does not confne himself 10 headquarters in conducting operations. He is here and there and everywhere and knows what his men are enduring. It is an inter es.ing sidelight of the character of the man who is guiding the destinies Of the British armies in France that his heart undoubtedly is with the men in the front lines and he feels keenly their suffering. The field marshals whole conversation indicates tha-

 BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM, Oct. 12.-(By the AssOciat- ed Press. )-All day the British have been fighting their way forward dog gedly. foot by foot. over the mud locked battlefield northeast of Ypres. They were still clinging with grim de- termina ion to the task at the latest re- ports, and had made appreciable gains in the face of almost ineOneeivable difficulties. along the six mile front
 On Ridge Crest
 The greatest advance appears to have been along the crest of the Pass chendaele ridge, where the attacking troops had pushed forward to an ex- treme depth of perhaps 1900 yards from their starting point It was re- ported several hours ago that ObserV- CTS had seen a small body of Haig's men at the cres. which lies almost on the outskirts of the village Of Pass chendaele.
 The three years of war have pro duced few such days of terrible hard ships. Not since the world conflict began, however. has there been a more wonderful display of courage by the British. From the start 1t has been a merciless struggle against the odds presented by the hideous morasses for which Flanders is famous.
 Mud Is Terrible.
 Not even the mud-fills of the SOmme battle front present such difficulties as have been encountered during the last few days in Flanders. Even the infantry. without equipment 10 carry, found it hard to make progress over these shell-pitted mOrasses, which sometimes drag man and beast down to a death. A week ago it often took full 25 minutes for a man without gun or baggage to negotiate a hun dred yards and since then the rains have greatly intensified the obstacle.
 It was over such ground that the men from the British Isles and over seas were fighting today. But their spirit was not broken by the handicap.
