Democrats VIII Lose Majority
In L0Wer House Is Prediction
After Poll by NeW York Herald

New York, oct. 28.---The New York
Herald, in its customary pre-elaction
forecast, issued today indicates that
the democrats will lose the house of
representatives by narrow margin,
and claims that the senate win re-
main democratic. It is admitted that
there will be republican gains In the
senate, and the trend of the forecast
is to the effect that while tho house
is certain to be republican, the senate
remains in doubt The Herald claims
for the senate forty-eight certain
democrats, A certain republicans and
6 doubtful Its forecast of he house
indicates 1856 certain democrats, 22S
republicans and 80 doubtful
The present senate stands 52 dem
ocrats and "A republicans. The pres
ent house stands 21A democrats, 207
republicans, I Independents and I va
cancies.
This canvass. the Herald state
ment says. was made before Presi-
dent Wilson issued his dramatic APP
peal to the voters of the nation to
return a democratic congress in both
branches The effect of his appeal
will be noted in the New York Her
aids final forecast tables to be print
ed later"
"a majority OF the house Is ais.
1t will thus be seen that the republi-
cans. If the Herald has been correct
ly informed. are sure of control Of
the house unless some unforeseen
change takes place. 1t is going to be
close in any event"
May Change Senate.
'As for the senate, there is a pos
sibility of republican success in
enough states to gain control, but the
Herald's reports Indicate that the re-
publican gains will not go far enough
for that"
THE Forthcoming election Ia to be
unique in the history of the country.
Both parties have abandoned discus
sions of purely party issues, and the
war alone furnishes each side with its
issues except where in some causes
prohibition and woman's suffrage
have become factors. The domination
of the war over political campaigns
has obliterated all factional lines in
both parties. The few members of
the house who have called themselves
progressives. ind dependents. non-parti-
sans etc, are all now running on
either the democratic or republican
ticket so that the next house win be
divided between democrats and re-
publicans, and possibly socialist
members
New York with AZ members. Penn
sylvania with 36. and Ohio with %. are
the only states with large representa-
tions where the political outcome
seems to be much in doubt In Ohio
and Pennsylvania the Hquor question
has confused the campaign. IT is in

GE RMANS WATCH
LORRAINE SECTOR
WITH UNEASINEsS
Part of AIsace Has Been
Transformed Into Great
Camp With Carefully Pre-
pared Defensive Positions.

With the American Army North
west Of Nerdun. Oct, 2S (by the Assoc
ciated Press) The Germans have
created a great reserve zone in Lor-
raine, through which civilians, unless
they have authorization, may not pass.
They also have transformed a part of
Alsace into a great entrenched camp,
in which carefully prepared defensive
positions will make un for their lack
in human material.
The Germans have expected lial-
son attack by American and French
troops against the German left wing
and have been fearful that the allied
troops would break through as they
have done in other attacks during the
'sst cow 'nelshs, Their anxiety was
shown in the following declaration
printed by the Frankfort Gazette in
a recent issue.
"The situation has become notice
ably difficult. 1t IS most tense on
our left wing from the strategic MS
well as the tactical point of view. one
must regard with all seriousness the
increasing gravity of the situation in
the region of Nouziers. because the
entente has succeeded in obtaining
between the Scheldt and the Cambrai
canal and their formidable attempts
to pierce our line"
Early today American patrols es
tablished that the Bellejoyeuse farm,
northeast of Grand Pre-. had been de
serted by the enemy but that it was
we'll protected by heavy flanking ma
chine gun fire. 1t therefore remains
no mans land
American Control Ridge.
The Americans IN the Bourgogne
wood control the ridge extending from
Talma east to the southern part of
the wood The Germans today in
filtrated through the American line
at Hill 204. heavily armed with ma
chine guns and rifles The enemy
was soon discovered. and pounded
with artillery and machine guns and
driven off The Americans captured
several of the enemy machine guns
and turned them on the Germans.
German patrols which sought to
penetrate the American lines north of
the Ravine-AuX-Pierre were repulsed
by an unusually heavy fire.
The infantry activity was slight in
the center and on the right of the
sector, but the enemy's artillery re-
sistance grew constantly in power
during the last twenty-four hours. A
harassing fire was carried out against
the American front lines and back
areas all along the line today. The
Americans retaliated spiritedly.
A new German aviation squadron
made its appearance over the Ameri-
can lines in the vicinity of St. Juvin.
Some of the machines were painted
bright vermillon and others dark
gray with plain black cross on them
Some of the machines had flaming
red noses. Many of them dropped
propaganda.

You very justly think this man

are strained and your head hurts, if
you let the downtown cut-rate optical
shops and free examination peddlers
fool with your eyes, sometimes you
are selling your eyesight for what you
think you save on your glasses.
The lenses these people handle are
moulded bottle glass or seconds dis
carded in grinding good lenses. Some
eyes can't stand this. Why chance
your precious eyesight? Their frames
are of inferior metal, which poison
some peoples system. Why risk
yours? The acids of your body might
not be able to stand contact with in
ferior metals. Many of these men
have little or no education, or sobri-

General Order No. 40.

General Order No. 40.
To All Employees in the Railroad Ser
vice of the United States:
Complaints have reached me from
time to time that employees are not
treating the public with as much con
sideration and courtesy under Govern
ment control of the railroads as un.
der private control. l do not know
how much courtesy was accorded the
public under private control, and /
have no basis, therefore, for accurate
comparison. l hope, however, that
the reports of discourtesy under Gov
eminent administration of the rail
roads are incorrect, or that they are
at least confined to a relatively few
cases. Whatever may be the merits
of these complaints, they draw atten-
ton to a question which is of the ut
most Importance in the management
of the railroads.
For many years it was popularity
believed that the public be damned"
policy was the policy of the railroads
under private control. Such a policy
is indefensible either under private or
Government control. 1t would be par
ticularly indefensible under public
control when railroad employees are
the direct servants of the public.
The public be damned policy will
in no circumstances be tolerated on
the railroads under Government con-
troll. Every employee of the railroad
should take pride in serving the pub
lie c%ourteously and efficiently. Cour-
tesy costs nothing and when it is dis
pensed, it makes friends of the pub
lie and adds to the self-respect of the
employee.
My attention has also been called
to the fact that employees have some
times offered as an excuse for their
own shortcomings, or as a justifica'
ton for delayed trains or other diff
culties the statement that Uncle Sam
is running the railroads now OF
These are McAdoo's orders etc
Nothing could be more reprehensible
than statements of this character, ant
nothing could be more hurtful to the
success of the Railroad Administra
ton or to the welfare of railroad EN-
ployees themselves. No doubt, those
who have made them have done 81
th~oughtlessly in most instances, blu
the harm is just as great if a thin
of thi sort is done thoughtlessly as i
it is done deliberately.
There are many people who TO
partisan or selfish purposes wish Gov
eminent operation of the railroads t
be a failure. Every employee who il
d~iscourteous to the public or make
excuses Of statements of the kind
have described, is helping these part
a or selfish interests to discredi
Government control of railroads.
Recently the wages of railroad en-
ployees were largely increased, in
volving an addition to railroad opel
ating expenses of more than $475, 900
900 per annum. In order to meet thi
increase, the public has been Gale
upon to pay largely increased passer
ger and freight rates. The peopl
have accepted this new burden cheer
fully and periodically. The least tina
every employee can do in return is {
serve the public ~courteously, faiti
fully and efficiently.
a great responsibility and duty rest
upon the railroad employees of tn
