to the Cologne Gazette, denies that
the alliance Is to be embodied In

MAKE GERMANYREPLAcE GOODS
Briton Shows Way in Which Economic
Weapon Could Be Used.

London-Dr. Christopher Addison.
minister without portfolio in charge
of reconstruction, said with reference
to punishment for Germany's crimes
that there was one way in which the
economic weapon could be used.
The Germans had either removed
mills and machinery Wholesale from
France and Belgium into Germany, he
declared, or had destroyed them, APP
parently with the deliberate purpose
OF removing in part the economic pro-
ducing power of France and Belgium,
counting upon the advantage which
this would give German textile in-
dustry after the war.
But" said DIR. Addison, "it will be
within the power Of the Allies to with
hold from Germany cotton and other
goods until the enemy has made good
the machinery destroyed"

PRODUCE MORE COAL PERSHING
American General In France Appeals
to U. 8. Miners

MISUNDERSTANDING "the more
coal you produce, the sooner we shall
have peace" General Pershing,
through a cablegram to Fuel Admins
traitor Garfield, appealed to the coal
miners of the country for increased
production.
Let there be no shortage of coal"
said the American, commanders mess
age. Lack of coal means limiting our
war industries; railroads and ship
ping are slowed down, and the army
cannot be provided with means to de-
liver the telling blows needed to end
the war. Without coal we shall be
without guns and ammunition to use
against the enemy. The man in the
mine helps the man on the firing line.
"The more coal you produce the
sooner we shall have peace. Every
soldier of the American expeditionary
forces expects to be backed up by
the miners of America, just as labor
in every branch of industry at home
has stood behind us. We soldiers
know that we can depend upon you
to do your part as we are doing ours"

LOWER PENINSULA OVER LOAN
Michigan is the Second State to Go
over the Top; Iowa First.

Chicago.-The lower peninsula Of
Michigan, which is a part of the Sew
enth federal reserve district, has gone
over the top with subscriptions total
ing $154,750,000, or nearly $7,000,000
in excess of its quota of $147, 100000.
Forty-three counties have reached or
exceeded their quotas. Fourteen coun-
ties are very close to the mark and
IL counties are in doubt. Sales Di-
rector Fenton estimates final subscrip-
lions will show an excess over quota
of more than $7,OOO,O0O, with upward
of 100000 subscribers.
Notwithstanding the fact that
Michigan has its quota every indivi-
dual county should endeavor to make
its quota and thereby place its star
in Michigan's service flag. This is
the fourth time Michigan has gone
over the top on Liberty loans," said
Mr.. Fenton.
The state is the second in the dis
trict-Iowa was the first--and one Of
the first in the United States to go
over the top.
The upper peninsula is in the Ninth
reserve district and is not included in
this announcement.

The total does not include regis
trations received by mail by local

such cases, it is believed the actual

600. This will be still furthehr in
creased by the registrations in Aiaa-
ka, Porto Rico and Hawaii, to be held
on dates recently fixed by the Pres

U. S. BAN HITS is INDUSTRIES
War Industries Boards Gives Out List
OF Those Effected.

Washington. Sixteen industries
have been added by the War Indus
tries Board to the list of those which
must curtail production to save fuel,
labor, capital, material and transpor-
tation for essential war work. The
products affected include electric fane,
safes and vaults, pottery, padloclIs,
builders hardware, sporting arms and
ammunition, cash registers, talking
machine needles, silk fabrics and the
like, and bottles and glass Jars.
For the six months from October l,
pottery ware is curtainled to 80 per
cent of six months production In
1917; heavy safes and vaults, 100 per
cent of 1917 production; padlocks, 20
per cent; sporting arms and ammuDi-
tion, 10 per cent of 1917 output; talk
ing machine needles, so per cent of
1917 production, and builders hard
ware is also curtailed.
Effective Dec. /, for six months
silk fabric and allied industries are
curtailed in production to so per cent
of one-half of their average production
for 1915, 1915 and 1917.
Effective Nov /, for six months
glass bottles and glass jars are cur.
tailed as follows For wines and
liquors, rs per cent of six months pro-
duction in 1917; for beer, 100 per
cent; for soft drinks and spring and
medicinal waters, so per cent OF six
months production, and for perfumes
hair tonics and toilet articles, so pei
cent for six months production in

Because of the large amount OF
Government work being done by the
National Cash Register Co., the board
ruled that its production of cash reg
listers for six months from October
be curtailed 25 per cent of six months
production in 1917, but all other cash
register concerns were ordered to cur
tail to so per cent of 1917 production

HUNGARIAN Diet in Tumult.

Basel-Scenes of tumult prevailed
at the meeting of the Hungarian Diet,
in which demands were made for
peace, and it was announced that Aus
tria was being organized on federal
basis.
So great was the uproar that the
presiding officer was obliged to ad-
journ the sitting. The disorder con-
tinued, however, the deputies calling
each other "blackguard, liar, traitor,
slave" etc.
DR.. Alexander Wekerle, premier,
said the federal states to be formed
in Austria will organize their econom-
ic and military policies on an autono-
nous and independent basis. He made
an appeal for united action by all
parties.
Count Michael Karolyi, president OF
the Hungarian Independent party, who
followed DR.. Wekerle, demanded i'm
mediate peace negotiations, without
regard to the community of interest
arising from the policy which has here
tofore been followe1, says advices
from the policy which has heretofore
been followed, say advices from Buda-
pest.
Count Stephen Tisza, former pre-
mier, who, narrowly escaped a would
be assassin, attacked Count Karolyli,
yelling: "You are Entente agents!"
Martin Novassy, one of the mem.
bers of the Diet, answered: I'VE are
friends of the Entente"
Great disorder ensued. When the
sitting was resumed, after brief re.
cess, draft of the address to the
King was read. II said the result of
the war had been such as to place the
throne in danger, and declared Hun.
gary must have full autonomy.
Hungary feels herself to be in full
accort with the ideas spreading
throughout the world along the lines
of the noble principles of President
Wilson's address," the address con
tinued. Hungary must be complete
ly independent, must have general
electoral suffrage, and the relations
between nationalities in the country
must be governed by the principles
enunciated by President Wilson.
Hungary is in danger OF invasion
Hungarian troops must be brought
back and non-Hungarian troops sem
away"
DIR. Werkele said: THE protection
of our integrity as state and the
maintenance of our unity are task
we must accomplish at all costs. W.
desire to grant individual rights Il
the different nationalities who hav'
lived among us for thousand years.
I'VE are not contradicting our ira

Paris-Lille, Douai and Ostend,
three great cities. have been delivered
from the enemy. Thin is the most
glorious news from the Allies since
the battle of the Marine and II fittingly
terminates a wonderful battle of three
months. which was opened by General
Mangin's victorious counter offensive
on July IS.
Many cities have been liberated and
hundreds of square miles of territory
retaken. The results have been splen-
did. But the victory in Belgium is not
all. The British south OF lie Cateau
have broken into the German posi-
tions and now threaten the Hunding
line. The whole German defense sys-
tenn eastward to the Meuse is in
peril.
The first result of forcing the Ger
mans back to the Ghent-Tournai-
valenciennes line during the fighting
has been to sap the enemy's defenses
before they have been able to reach
them farther south. Without exag-
geration IL may be said that the pros
poets of the future are even more i'm
portant than the actual results at
tanned.
The road to Brussels is open. Ac-
cording to latest advices the French
and Belgian armies are advancing rap
idly towards Bruges and Client. The
capture of Ostend makes it possible
to land reinforcements and throw
powerful forces against the extreme
right of the German army.
The occupation of Ostend by the
Allies was dramatic. Allied aviators
first circled over the city, reported all
clear, and landed in the Place d'Armes.
About the same time, British war
ships, comprising the Dover patrol, I'M
der Vice Admiral Sir Roger Reyes,
entered the port and landed sailors,
who captured or killed the few Ger
man rearguards found in Ostend.
Shortly afterwards, Allied troops,
mostly Belgians, marched into the city.
The Tirpitz battery at Ostend was
captured, the enemy not having been
able to move back the enormous guam
tity of materials stored there.

PROTEST SEIZURE
OF FOE BUSINESS
AMERiCANIzINo OF GERMAN
OWNED BUSINESS CONCERNS
BRINGS NOTE FROM GERMANY
REPRIsAL is THREATENED
Note Refers Specifically to Sale OF
Steamship Property In New
Jersey.

Washington-Pro against the
Americanizing of German-owned bust
ness concerns, ships and other prop
erty by Alien Property Custodian
Palmer has been made by the German
government to the state department.
The note transmitted through the
Swiss legation and made public
declares the sale of German-owned
property in this country is conscious
ly aimed to do lasting injury to Ger
man economic existence"
Referring specifically to the pro-
posed sale of the property in New
Jersey OF the North German Lloyd
and Hamburg American Steamship
lines, the note says it is an endeavor
'to shackle through measures OF force
opportunities of German shipping in
terests to develop in the future"
The German government concluded
its protest with the statement that
"it cannot but be guided in the en-
forcement of the retaliatory orders
that have been issued against Am
erican property in Germany by the
manner in which the United States
of America will proceed against Ger
man property
Plans for Americanization by sale
to American citizens of Germantown
ed property valued at approximately
$300,0O0,O00 have been prepared and
Mr.. Palmer declared they would be
carried out.
The total value OF enemy-owned
property taken over by the alien prop
erty custodian to date is between
500, 100000 and 100000 900. Unofi-
cial reports place the value of Amer
ican-owned property taken over by
Germany at $14,000,000.

Germany to Answer Wilson's Note.

Berne-Germany's reply to Presi-
dent Wilson's latest communication
was expected to be sent to Washing
ton Immediately, advices from Berlin
stated. Semi-official newspapers In
Germany indicate it is certain Ger
many in the note will seek to continue
the conversation.
Advices received from Berlin say
that there is great activity In politi-
cal circles, in view of the German re-
ply to President Wilson's note. II is
understood the note already has been
drafted and that it is not a complete
refusal of President Wilson's demands.
Hindenburg was reported to be on
his way to Berlin and the assumption
here is that he has arrived.
President Wilson's reply has created
new state of affairs in diplomatic
discussions relative to peace, it is re-
ported from German sources and the
German reply, it is said, will make
it clearly understood that the tone en-
ployed by the President was open to
objections.
There have been passionate discus
sions Of the Presidents reply at meet
ings of all the German groups of the
Reichstag, but no line of policy has
been determined, though there was
prolonged deliberation.
If Hindenburg is in Berlin, that prob
ably foreshadows the drafting of the
German reply. Under the circum-
stances, it is uncertain whether the
Reichstag will meet today.
In any case there will be no plenary
meeting Of the Parliament before the
reply is forwarded. Then there will
be full dress debate, in which the
enthusiastically Friedrich Ebert
vice-president Of the Social Demo.
cratic party, and Gustav Noske, So
cialist member of the Reichstag
take part.
