Hays Says Nation Needs
4 Brains of Republican Party

The myriad problems OF reconstruc-
tion press upon us for solution. Some
Of them no man can foresee, others
are apparent to all.
1--WE must not wait until the preces-
sion Of disasters has passed by.
Republicans, in the face Of recon-
struction, as always heretofore in the
presence OF vast needs, will anticipate
every possible contingency OF storm and
stress. will make tight every cOmpart-
ment Of the Ship OF State. and doubly
insure its voyage into the coming un-
known.
Republicans cried aloud in vain for
preparedness for war.
"Republicans now demand that the
Nstion instantly prepare for peace.
"The next Congress VIII bear the
great burden to that end
"Let nothing remain undone which
can honestly be performed 10 make Re
publican success certain.
"The countrys war load is great. Let
ne hitch up both great political horses
10 null it. And let us bring to the great
nroblems OF reconstruction the. brain
and heart OF the Republican party"
Charles Warner, chairman OF the Re
publican Citizens League, presided and
made a short address in introducing Mr..
HAYES. He spoke Of the necessity OF
sending Republican representatives from
delaware to Congress, to assist in re-
construction work after the war.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Oct 25.-The British, driving
on Maubege have extended their line OF
attack northward 10 the vicinity OF
Velenciennes. They advanced on this
whole front OF nearly 80 miles yester-
day and last night, progressing two
miles at some points.
The western border Of the huge Nor
NAL forest and the western outskirts
Of Lequesnoy were reached. Desperate
German resistance at Maing and Nende-
gies-Sur-EcaillOn resulted In a deep
pocket being formed south OF Valen-
clennes which the enemy must soon
evacuate or risk losing a great number
of prisoners.
The British are adhering 10 the plan
OF not giving the Germans even mo-
ment's peace. While General Byng and
General Rawlinson are pushing eastward
south Of Nalenciennes, General HOrne's
army is trampling out the enemy's pre-
pared defenses north OF that city and
at the same time acquiring all the ad-
vantageOus positions on the west bank
OF the Escaut canal, which has been
crossed at several points.
British engineers have been com
PEELED TO build an unequa,led number
Of bridges as the result OF the Germans
cutting the banks Of the canal and
flooding wide areas north and south OF
Valenciennes.
The British artillery, facing the flood
ed regions, unlOOsed a storm OF shells
yesterday, such as has seldom been
seen since the days OF regular trench
warfare. The bursting shells spouted
up the water TO great heights. giving
the impression Of a nava. battle.
The Germans reciprOcated as best
they could but il was a sorry demon
stration, illustrating once more the Al
