SOCIALIST HILLQUIT
IS RUNNING STRONG

got it. He could not be induced
to withdraw, and has gone into
the race with the support of a
number of the old conservative re-
publicans. Mitchel's name will go
on the ballot by independent petit
ton. The mayor is supported by
most of the republican city Off
Gals and many anti-Tammany
democratic ones.
Drive on Hillquit.
John F. Hylan, almost unknown
in city politics, won the demo-
cratic nomination with Tammany's
backing. Because he was so ut
terly unknown, many Tammany-
ties, including the strong Sullivan
clan, will knife him to vote for
Mitchell. The democratic vote is
just as badly split on Hylan as the
republican vote is on Mitchell.
Hillquit is rousing the East
Side to tremendous meetings by
peoples government pledges. He
has garnered some support from
former democrats and republicans
Snotably Dudley Field Malone,
former collector of the port and
one Of the Original Wilson men,"
and Amos r. Pinchot, reformer
and ex-Bull Moose.
The drive on Hillquit conferred
today on attacks by all other can
didates on the socialist candidates
Americanism. Hillquit demands
an immediate peace of all bellig-
erents-exactly what Germany
wants.
Has Big Following.
He refused to purchase Liberty
bonds. He was one of the three
socialist delegates to whom the
government refused permission to
attend the German-inspired Stock
holm peace conference"
AS such, he came in for power
full denunciation from Charles Ed
ward Russell, William English
Walling and others of the "Ameri-
can branch" of socialists, being
branded an assistant of Victor
Berger In pro-German realism. He
was born in Riga, Russia, and be-
cause of this commands a tremen-
dous following on the East Side.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES
IN FLANDERS, Nov. IA drab
landscape; yellowish gray mud IN
undulating coy ridges; Shiny
reddish water pools;
spattered muck on naked twisted
trees and underbrush-that is
Flanders today, around Paddle
beck bog.
Imagine this setting and then
stick into the picture bedaubed
figures plastered with the same all
prevailing muddy drab of the
ground. They look like animated
statues of clay. They are British
Tommies.
In yesterdays fighting British
troops crossed the Shiny, slippery,
sinking bottomless pit which Is
Paddlebeek bog, under the fire Of
the Bavarians-andg got what they
set out to get.
The barrage fire squirted a YER
table wall of mud up ahead Of
these troops as 1t struck the quav-
ering swamp. Behind It the Tom
mics, holding their guns aloft,
have swum thru the same viscid
mess.
They twisted and fell as they
leaped from hummock to hum
mock. Many men lost their foot
ing, plunging face down in the
muck. Some were so inextricably
mired that their comrades had to
yank them out.
Thru It all the Tommies went
on philosophically, but swearingly
cleaning smeared up guns and
fighting tooth and nail when they
came to clinches with the enemy.
The British held all their gains
today despite Bavarian counter at
tacks, where the fighting at times
was of the bitterest character.

PETROGRAD, Nov. 1.-The
provisional government took
sternly repressive measures
against two recalcitrant Russian
provinces today. Finland was
announced as having been put un-
der jurisdiction of the northern
front because of refusal Of au-
thorities there to cooperate in
evacuation of certain points.
Ukrania was hit even harder.
The government decided to cut
off all money from the central
government heretofore given the
province for administration be-
cause of the growth of q move
ment there for autonomy. More
vigorous measures, 1t was stated,
are in view.
Presumably the transfer Of
Finland to Jurisdiction of the

martial law has been proclaimed

LONDON, May 1.-THE raising Of

the most drastic measures to enlist

Orders have been issued for the re-
examination of every man who at any
previous time has been rejected for
service by the doctors. This neces-
sarily involves lowering of the
physical standard. The determination
of the government to stop at nothing
to keep up the armies is shown by the
further order that all soldiers dis
charged because of wounds or sick
ness must be re-examined and, if able
to serve, put back into khaki.

These measures, forced upon Eng
land now by cruel necessity, were long

out of manpower; outside Of these is

Hence the interest In American mil
