treat can now be anticipated, with

perate fighting seems certain, judging
from the stiffening enemy resistance
all along this portion of the front.
The British. north of Nalenciennes,
are now only seventeen miles west of
Mons toward which the Germans are
being steadily pressed. Mons is on
the direct route to Namur. the great
fortress city southeast of Brussels,
where the enemy is reported to have
established his next big defense line.
The Germans are fighting desper-
ately. especially in the region south
of VaIenciennes. The high command s
admonitions to the Germans that they
must fight hard now to avoid a
humilia ting peace apparently are caus-
ing the machine gunners to stick tc
their posts in the same fashion they
did last summer.
If the Germans elect to make a de-
termined stand at the edge of the great
Normal forest, west of Maubeuge, its
capture is expected to furnish a hard
task.

Two Ex-Presidents and Presidents
Arc Mixed Up in Race.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 26.-National
political interest today is largely To-

ANOTHER VOTE LETTER
President Wilson Urges Defeat of
New Jersey Republican,

Washington. Oct. 90. President
Wilson in a letter to Charles o. Hen
messy of New York, today declared
that Senator Raird, New Jersey, cer-
tainly did not represent the "true feel
ing and spirit of the people of his
state when he voted against the suf-
frage amendment. Baird is a Republi-
can.
The presidents letter follows:
May L not say how deeply inter-
ested l am in the contest you are con-
Quoting?
81 cannot but feel that in ignoring
my earnest appeal with regard to the
suffrage amendment, made in the pub
lie interest and because of my init
mate knowledge of the issues involved
both on the other side of the water
and here, Senator Baird has certainly
not represented the true feeling and
spirit of the people of New Jersey. 1
am sure that they must have felt that
such an appeal should not have been
ignored. 1t would be a very great
nake-Weisht thrown into the interna-
tional scale if his course of action
while in the senate could be reversed
by the people of our great state"

FROM FOOD BOARD
Statement on Hog Price Raise Is
Made Today.
Washington, Oct. ga I

Washington, Oct. ga mini
mum price for packers drove hogs of
$3.50 : hundred pounds was an
nounced today by the food adninistra
ton. after 3. conference between the
livestock subcommittee of the agri-
cultural advisory board, which in
cludes members representing the
swine industry, the food administra-
ton, and fifty packers. The following
underta king is given by the packers:
'In view of the undertakings on the
part of the food administration with
regard to the co-ordinated purchases
of pork products, 1t is agreed that the
packers participating in these orders
will undertake not to purchase hogs
for less than the following agreed min
imums for the month of November,
that is. {. daily minimum of $3.50 per
hundred pounds on average of pack
ers' droVeE, excluding throw outs to
be defined as pigs under 100 pounds,
Further, that no hogs of any kind
shall be bought except throw outs 1t
less than $16.50 per hundred pounds.
The average of packers droves to be
construed as the average of the total
sales in the market of all hogs for
given day. All the above to be based
on Chicago.
I'VE agree that a committee shall
he appointed by the food administra-
ton to check the daily operations in
supervision and demonstration of the
carrying out of the above
The ability of the packers to carry
out this arrangement will depend on
there being a normal marketing of
hogs based on the proportionate in
crease over the receipts of last year
The increase in production appears to
he a maximum of about 3 per cent
and we can handle such IN increase
IF the producers of hogs should,
as they have in the past few weeE5,
pTcmaturely market hogs at such in
creasing numbers over the above, it is
entirely beyond the ability of the
packers to maintain these minimums
and. therefore. We must have the Co
operation of the producer himself to
maintain these results. 1t is a physical
impossibility for the capacity of the
packing houses to handle a similar
oNer-flood of hogs and to find a mar
ket for the output. The packers are
anxious to cooperate with the pro-
ducers in maintaining Sterilization
of price and to see that producers re-
cetve fair price for their products"

NEED LABOR CHANGE
Men Doing Work That Women Should
DO, Lima Bresctte Reports.

At a meeting Of the state welfare
board in Topeka Friday a report was
made by the secretary, Miss Lima
Breaette, of conference of the war
labor policies board which she at
tended in WASHINGTON, D. C. Miss
Bresette quoted from an address by
Secretary of Labor Wilson. in which
he took up the matter of the problems
confronting the American people on
the entrance of women, in large num-
her, into industry. where they are TAX
ing the places of men gone to war.
There are many industries" he
said. for which women are better
fitted than men. An adjustment is
necessary when we consider that thou
sands of men are still employed in
garment making. while many women
are trucking in railroad stations. We
still have men enough to do the work
for which women are not physically
fit If they are released from labor
which could be better done by
women"

BY NIGHT
Danger VIII Not Interrupt Ex-
press Service.
Flights Planned From London
to Calcutta.

London. Oct. 26.-Danger of flying
at night will not interrupt the aerial
express service already being planned
here for flights between London and.
Cairo or Calcutta. say aviation experts.
The great machines designed for this
work will fly by compass thruout the
night, with powerful lamps lighted on
their wings and the instruments in
front of the Extraordinarily illuminat-
ed. Lights will be turned on in the
cabins and the members of the crew
who are off duty will turn in and sleep
as they do on steamships. -
If the weather has been bad during
the day time and it clears up at dusk,
the delayed machines will leave at
once in order that their cargoes and
passengers may be delivered on time
at their destination. 1t is believed
that business men, travelling from
London to Petrograd or Rome, will
prefer to journey at night. SO that they
may sleep during the voyage and
waste no time.
The wind, which is an important
factor in aviation, is nearly always less
strong at night.
Each airplane will carry powerful
navigation lights, visible twenty or
thirty miles off, and also luminous
number. There will be frequent land
ing places along the way so that
whatever it's need, a machine will al
ways be able to land.
Each landing ground will be bril-
liantly lighted and near it illuminated
wind-arrows will automatically indi.
cate the direction of the wind, know
! ledge OF which is essential to the pilot
of a machine about to land. All ma
chimes landing will display bright
light of particular color, in order to
warn pilots of other machines of its
intentions.
/ Aerial lighthouses, probably will be
in 10 mo al
lighthouses. They will consist presum-
ably of vertical searchlights, flashing
on and off. twin searchlights, colored
searchlights, or bright flashing lights
on the ground. Machines will be able
to land either at sea or on the ground,
and will carry large flares to light up
the ground below in case of a forced
landing.
All that war conditions have taught
the allied airman will be of immense
value in organizing night flying after
the war.

A SECOND AAoNSTHE CAMPAIGN ON
Republicans Plan Reprisals on
President Wilson.
Becomes Overnight the Bitter
est of Politics.

Washington, Oct. 26-The real
congressional campaign began today
with Republicans everywhere plan
ming "reprisals" on President Wilson
because of his appeal to the country
for a vote of confidenee-return of
the Democratic congress.
From the tamest campaign in years
it became the bitterest overnight. De-
claring the President Wilson's appeal
has removed all restraint from politi-
cal discussion, Republicans set out to
prove their contention that of the two
parties. the Republican has shown a
larger percentage of loyalty to the ad-
ministration's war program and poll
cies.
In a formal statement, climaxing
many hours of bitter comment by Re-
publican members of congress, Sena-
tors Lodge and Smoot and Represen-
tatives Gillett and Fess, declared that
the Republican percentage of admin
fstration support of war measures was
~ per cent compared with 81 per
cent on the part of Democrats.
In this connection the statement
raped Representatives Dent, Kitchin
and Clark. 1t declared that Republi-
cans. if victorious. would replace Dent,
on the military committee with Kahn
to whom the administration was
obliged to turn for assistance" in the
first draft bill when Dent opposed it
it attacked Kitchin for his vote
against the war and Clark for his re-
marks on CONSUMPTION.
Henry was attacked and the presi-
dents appeal criticised because ehe
president asked for votes for Demo-
Gratis without any reference to wheth-
er such Democrats have been, or are
in favor of war measures"
AS Tor the Democrats, those who
/ talked for publication, praised the
presidents course as absolutely nee
essary by reason of Republican tactics
