LANSING EXPECTS NOTE TODAY
Washington, Oct 21.-Secretary Lansing
said today he had reason to believe the German
reply to President Wilson would be received very
shortly, perhaps before the day was over.

Germany's reply to President Will
son as received by wireless is regarded
here as an awkward attempt to ac-
cept the conditions of peace laid down
by President Wilson. 1t is believed
to be certain the wireless version is
garbled to an extent and officials will
await the arrival of the official text
before arriving at conclusions.
Senator Poindexter of Washington,
republican, introduced q joint resolu-
ton today proposing that congress
forbid further negotiations by the
United States with Germany. looking
to the granting of an armistice or
peace until the German military
forces have surrendered uncondition-
ally. 1t was referred to the foreign
relations committee.

COST OF ELECTRICITY
GOES UP NOVEMBER |.
Light Company To Increase
Rates About 10
Per Cent.

Announcement was made today by
the management of the Connecticut
Light and Power Co. of an adoption
of new schedule of rates for all
classes of electric service, effective
November |. This will not be fat
rate increase, but will be on a sliding
scale and will average about 10 per
cent. According to the explanation of
the management the new scale of
prices will be so arranged that the
more current used the more the sub
scriber will have to pay. In some in
stances where but very little current
is used the increase may not amount
to more than five per cent, while in
certain other cases it may be as high
as l 5 per cent, but the mean average
will be about 10 per cent.
TIL company explains that it has
been forced to make this advance in
price as the many economies prac-
ticed have not offset the continually
increasing cost of production and dis
tribution of power.
The local superintendent says that:
Public utility companies generally
throughout the country have been
facing the serious situation brought
about by the rising cost of labor and
materials, with which everyone is
familiar and have been forced, reluc-
tantly, to advance the cost of service
to their consumers, in an endeavor to
meet this condition. 1t is Interesting
to note, however, that notwithstand-
ing this increase, electricity will be as
cheap as it was four or five years ago,
which is more than can be said of
most other commodities

Washington, Oct. 21.-Estimates
and figures showing the success of the
Fourth Liberty loan poured into the
treasury today, indicating that there
we're about 25,000,00O subscribers
during the campaign which closed
Saturday night and that the $6,000,-
0O0,0 goal was passed by several
hundred millions.
All orders for coupon bonds are
being filled immediately and plenty ca
registered bonds will be ready as fast
as acquisitions for them, accompanied
by the necessary information con-
cerning the Individual owners, reach
the treasury.
Thirteen hundred clerks were ct
work today examining, counting and
shipping bonds as fast they came
from the bureau of engraving and
printing. They were received in huge
bundles, carefully wrapped and
sealed and went to the federal re-
serve bands in much the same form.
Although the exact number of
bonds sold will not be known for
many weeks, officials esticate that it
exceeds 100000. In the third loan
slightly less than 25,000,000 were

LIEUT.. DUNCAN FAILS
TO REGAIN FREEDOM

Geneva, Oct. 20-Lieut. Duncan,
the American aviator, who. with
companion, landed in the Jura Alps
With his undamaged machine a month
ago and was interned, made q bold
but futile attempt to escape from the
interment camp at Andermatt on
Wednesday night.
He made q rope with bedclothes
and slid down the wall around the
barracks, but when he was some dis
tance from the ground the rope broke
and he was badly injured. He was ar
rested when he emerged from long
tunnel between Andermatt and
Goeschenen. He was taken back to
Andermatt and the guard at camp was
doubled.

the democratic senatorial committee,
and. Representative Scott Forres of
Oklahoma, chairman of the dem O.
cratic congressional campaign COM
mittee. ,...,..
Speaking in his capacity as chair
man today. Mr.. Mummings sair that
the record made by the dem ocratic
administration would be the basis of
the campaign to retain a democratic
congress in power. Now that the
Fourth Liberty Loan is over" said
Mr.. Cummings, ''it is permissible to
again focus the attention of the peo-
pie upon the necessity of electing !.
congress in harmony with the poll
cies of President Wilson.
The American people have two
important factors to bear in mind.
The successful prosecution of the war
and the reconstruction that will fol-
low the war. The democratic record
is the party's best argum ent for sup
port on both scores. With approx
imately two million men overseas, all
armed, equipped and supplied as they
should be, with the shipping situation
met by the shipping board and emer-
gencv fleet corporation, and with
America doing her full share in the
successful onslaught on the Central
Powers, we have ever reason to ex-
pect ratification of the administra-
tion's conduct of the war. Democrats
in congress put through the laws that
have made possible the success of
American arms on the battlefields.
While it is true that many patriotic
republican members of congress aided
the party in power in the enactment
of war legislation, it is equally true
that many republicans essayed the
role of obstructionists and critics.
Twice as many republicans as demo-
Gratis voted against the war resolution,
and more than three times as many
voted against kiHin~ '--- McLemore
resolution. Almost twice as many re-
publicans as democrats voted for the
Cooper amendment to nullify the in
tent of armed neutrality. Ten times
aus many republicans as democrats
voted against the espionage act under
which the ringleaders of the I. w. w.
were recently convicted in Chicago,
md under which many German agents
have been sent to prison.
