Trenton, N. J.-Late indications

New York.-Judge John F. Hylan,
Democrat and Tammany man, has
been elected mayor of New York by
a plurality of more than 10000 votes.
He swept all boroughs and the land
slide carried through the city ticket
and apparently all the Democratic
county tickets. Mayor John Purroy
Mitchell ran second, with Morris Hill
quit, Socialist, not far behind.
The Tiger has bagged his first
square meal of years. Charles F. Muir
ply, leader of Tammany hall, will not
retire. He will stay to reap some of
the rewards of the victory he has
been all but praying for for dozen
years.
The Socialists voted in large num-
bers for the suffrage proposal. The
presidents message and the women's
work in the war transformed the feel
Ang Of hostility to the women's cause,
and it seems certain that the amend
ment, which went down to defeat two
years ago by majority of 10000, has
been carried by handsome figure.
From the obscurity of the county
bench in Brooklyn, Hylan has been
chosen overwhelmingly to preside for
four years over the affairs and politi-
cal destinies of the 100000 people
of the nations greatest city.
HilIquit Holds His Men.
Mitchell ran second to Judge Hylan,
with Morris Hillquit, Socialist, keep
ing somewhat close to him in all the
boroughs and running ahead Of him
IN the Bronx. The great congested
districts of the city, where the Hill
quit wave was sweeping with almost
magical velocity a week ago, re-
mained almost with a united front in
the Hillquit column.
That the Hillquit vote was not larger
was due to the concerted work OF the
managers of both the regular cam
pai~ns. The champions of loyalty
wealized the discouraging interpreta-
'&ion which the boys in the trenches
would have placed upon a triumph
here of these elements, which have
been working for a German peace
while masquerading as the altruists
of the world.
Record Run In Brooklyn.
A rough estimate Of the total vote
of the four nominees for mayor gave
Eylan about 100000 ballots. Mitchell
100000 or 10000. HilQuit about 1885,
900 and William M. Bennett 10000.
Many districts were missing when
the figures were compiled, but the rel
:ative standing will remain about the
same.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE ques-
ton asked here to-day, in view of the
greatly reduced submarine losses, was:
Has Germany withdrawn her subma-
rines to alter them and make them
more effective against present de-
fences? One suggestion made was that
the next thing to be expected was that
Germany would try to get out some of
her cruisers to raid the American
transports and conveyed shipping in
general. 1t was suggested that part
Of the American fleet would be based
abroad 70 meet such tactics.
The general feeling is that the SUBJ
marine has been defeated. The low
figures of losses by Uboats follow
long series of steadily reducing losses.
rhe process has been continuous. The
depth bomb is given a great deal OF
credit for what has been accomplished.
There is a we'll authenticated story
here that by means or these bombs
sixteen submarirNs have been de-
stroyed in three weeks.
But besides destroying submarines
the bomb has cut down the effective
ress of the submarine by making 1t
dangerous for her to come to the sur
face. Formerly all U-beat had to do
when il was detected was TO submerge

Arthur Pollen, the well known British
naval expert and inventor Of most OF
the range finding devices now in use by
the fleets of the world, has made the
following statement to The Associated
Press on the submarine war and the
various political crises in Europe:
Anything unsatisfactory in the mil
itary and political situation in Europe
is balanced by the extraordinary news
that the German submarine campaign
has broken down altogether. The sub
marine is defeated This is the most
momentous event since the United
States declared war. II means that We
can all stay in and that America can
really come in. Six months ago ship
ping was being destroyed, according
10 some authorities, at a rate OF nine
million tons per annum. Had this loss
continued. the Germans had the right
TO expect, not, indeed. military victory,
but a peace that would mean some
thing much less than defeat.
'In the first fortnight of November
the rate of loss of British tonnage OF
ships greater than 1900 tons each has
fallen TO about one million tons year:
The present shipbuildng capacity OF
Great Britain alone can make this
loss GOOD in less than eight months.
At the rate America, Great Britain and
Japan are striving TO attain We shouid
replace this loss in less than eight
weeks. The rate of loss for the last
week is actually less than the annual
toll of wrecks in peace time! 1t is an
amazing development II is not to be
expected that losses can remain as low
as this. They must fuctuate up ana

STOCKHOLM, Nov. ia Russian
who arrived at Haparanda from Petro-
grad Wednesday says that kerensky's
troops had not entered Petrograd Mon
day, and he did not believe they would
enter, as the garrison, numbering nifty
thousand, remained faithful to the

The. cause of Kerensky's unpopular

opposition to peace, and he further de-
ciared that il the Maximalists could
have made peace they would be mas
ters everywhere. All hope was in the

ed: "If such a government cannot be
formed we will have civil war"

U-Boat to Have Decisive
Part in Final Outcome
Of War, Says Kaiser,

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 15.-The German
Emperor, according to Berlin dis
patch, addressing the U-boat crews in
the Adriatic and referring to the de-
velopmeht Of the U-boats, said that a
voyage of three or four weeks was now
a common occurrence and declared
that the development of the U-boats
had not reached its highest point.
lie expressed qualification at the
amount of the tonnage sunk in the
Mediterranean, which, he said, showed
that the U-boats had fulfilled what had
been expected OF them.
Submarine warfare would have a de-
cisive part in the final outcome Of the
war and would not be stopped until the
enemy was vanquished, he said.
The Emperor concluded: 81 am GER
tain that our submarines will never
rest until the enemy is subdued. But
for this we need. as we'll as the power
of man, the aid of God"

Hylan's Victory Wins
Approval in Germany
TStaf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The GEL
man press comments upon the election
results in New York interpret them as
a triumph for the American pacifists,
according to advices received here to-
day.
The "Kreuz-Zeitung" asserts that the
defeat OF Mayor Mitchell for reelection
was favorable TO Germany, as Mitchell
it says. was a warm friend of the En-
tente and was pro-war. while It main
tains that Tammany Hall was paclflst
and it's whole ticket was pacihst. .
The "VorwErts" and "Germania"
quote from the "Munchener Neueste

Hylan's election over Mitchell is evi-
dence of a lack of war enthusiasm m

and begin discharging depth bombs all
around, and there Is always a fair
chance that the submarine will be de-
stroyed.
The reduction in losses by subma-
rines has been accomplished without
use of the new device whose invention
Mr.. Daniels announced the other day.
II is confidently believed this device
employed in connection with the depth
bomb will further reduce the effective
ness of the submarine war.
And it is extremely important that
the submarine itself should be beaten,
and not merely thai the convoy system
should succeed in reducing snkings.
II is easy to extract too much comfort
from the reports, like yesterdays, Of
small losses, for, while losses are
small, the submarine is still producing
a powerful effect. AS long as 1t re-
mains a menace shipping cannot be
used effectively.
IL is estimated that the convoy sys-
TEN, made necessary by the subma-
rine, cuts down the effectiveness of
shipping by so per cent. This is due
to loss Of .ime in starting several ships
together under convoy, to the slow
progress they make through the waters
and to the congestion in port they
cause by all arriving at once. A COM
plete removal of the submarine menace
would be equivalent to doubling the
shipping available for transatlantic
work.

lerymen's fire has evoked enthusiastic
comments from the French superior OFF,
cers of the command in which are the
trenches occupied by the American
troops. The general in command told
American officers to-day that the marks
manship of the artillerymen was excel
lent, comparing favorably with that OF
troops which had been at war for years
The American officers were highly
elated by the compliment. The only
complaint heard is that few OF the
American batteries are not as rapid as
they might be, but they are improving
daily.
The infantry is now interesting itself
especially in patrols. All the men who
have not had this experience are eager
&c try their hand, and some Of them
have asked to be assigned to this work.
II is the unanimous opinion that the
men are learning more Of the science of
war by their short stay in the trenches
and gunpits than is possible to gain IN
months of other instruction.
While the infantry is learning how
10 handle itself in the trenches, the ar
tillery, in addition to the actual firing,
is acquiring most valuable experience
in observation work and locating enemy
batteries by the sound method. The
heavy guns on both sides are now en-
gagged in a duel at long range, with the
lighter pieces working at targets nearer
ne lines.

a futile measure by two facts: One is
that not more than one-third Of New

is that there Is no way by which a loyal
American can be distinguished on sight
