October Fighting Was Costly to the
United States-Dehnite Figures
Are Not Available.

WASHINGTON. - Nearly $4,000
American casualties have been re-
ported to the war department up to
today
War department officials said there
is absolutely no way now of making
an accurate estimate of what the final
total will be.
Casualties for October are coming
in. Some of the most costly fighting
of the war occurred in that month.
Returning officers have said that the
casualties including the slightly
wounded, whose cases were almost in
significant, would run past 100000
However, war department officials
give no authority for such a claim
and the conservative estimates go as
low as 100000.

in the city court in Berrien county
by L. A. Hendricks, attorney for Mrs.

all the time that the United States
court did not have proper jurisdic-

an appeal was taken to the New Or

the decision of Judge Speer. This

POLITICIANS STUDY
ELECTION RESULTS
AUALYZING THEM IN EFFORT
TO FIND CAUSE OF DEMO.
CRATIC DEFEAT.
SOME PUT BLAME ON WILSON

Others Think Big Business" Desired
to Re-establish Republican Party
for Reconstruction Work After the
War-Suffrage in Doubt.
WASHINGTON.-Politicians here
are analyzing the election returns to
see if they can locate the cause of the
defeat of the democratic party.
There are republicans and demo-
Gratis who look upon it as a rebuke to
the president. Many partisans be-
heve that his appeal to the people for
democratic house aroused and
united the republican opposition.
Others think large business interests
were largely responsible for the re-
establishment of the republicans to
power.
Here is the way see it," said
democratic senator. Behind it was
a real desire of Big Business to re-es-
tablish the republican party-the pro-
tectlve tariff party-to power for
reorganization of business after the
war. 1t was apparent to campaigners
that the war was practically over, and
the important thing was to prepare
for reconstruction days. If the re-
pubhcans make a false step during
the next congress they will be swept
out of power in 1920"
Alice Claims the Credit"
The Alice Paul suffragists take the
credit for throwing the democrats
out. They claim that they did the
BUSTING especially in South Dakota
and Delaware, where they have no
vote.
Woman sffrage comes out of the
election with greater prestige and
stronger political position than it has
ever held BEFORE" said Miss Paul
Never before has suffrage been made
such a test issue in an election. Indi-
vidual opponents have learned that
suffrage can no longer be opposed
with impunity. Outside of the South,
where the elections last Tuesday were
merely combinations of the primary
results, every senator seeking re-elec-
ton who had voted against suffrage,
except two, was DEBATED.
Fate of Suffrage Uncertain.
There is much speculation here as
to what will become of the woman
suffrage amendment in the senate.
Senators Martin, Simmons and IN
derwood, stout opponents of the Su-
san P. Anthony amendment, will not
delay any appropriation bills, or the .
revenue measure, to permit a vote on
suffrage at this session of congress.
In this purpose they will be supported
by Senators Penrose, Lodge and
Brandegee, republican opponents of
the proposition. When the republic /.
ans get in, the leaders, most of whom
come from the east, will sidetrack the |
amendment. The road for suffrage
legislation seems rough and doubtful. |

SENATOR SMITH FAVORS
CUTTING NEXT YEARS TAXES
Georgian Would Reduce Them at
Least One-Half.

Least One-Half.
WASHINGTON. - Senator Hoke
Smith recently made the following
statement:
The unprecedented levy of eight
billion dollars of taxes in one wear
was for war purposes. 1t was all
right because necessary to whip the
Germans. But the war is over.
There is no necessity for this tax to
continue next year.
Il favor placing in the present bill
provisions cutting the normal tax
for next year one-half.
The present bill should contain
provisions reducing the amount of
the tax beginning with the first of
January next, so that the amount
which it will collect for next year
will not be over four billions of dol
lars. The people are entitled to
know in advance and to receive the
encouragement incident to knowing
that the burden will be lighter next
year"

People Urged to Retain Them as

Government Discharges Practice Of

the country OF offering to accept Lib

They hold that such practice defeats
the primary object OF the sale OF the
bonds, discouraging the general thrift

thus depriving the government OF la

poses
'While / have no doubt that mer-
chants are actuated by patriotic mo-

McAdoo. In a statement given out
through the federal reserve banks, II
am sure that they have failed to con-

Of their offers have upon the situation.
We are making the strongest effort to
have these government bonds pur-
chased for permanent investment by
the people at large. to be paid for out
of the past and future savings OF those
who buy them. Purchases thus made
not only result In providing funds for
the uses of the government. but they

their sale is defeated. dIscouraging

to depress the market price of the Is
