crowd was full OF life, and everyone
was out to have a good time and cee-

In spite OF the large crowd no acci.
dents were reported. Two plate glass
windows were broken, the window at
the Vogt K Boyle clothing store and
the glass at the small case in front
of the Goodnetter dry goods store.
The damage at both OF these places
will amount to quite neat sum OF
money

clothing damaged and in some cases
utterly ruined by the talcum powder

throwing When the limited supply Of
confetti in Ottawa ran out some per.
son. utterly unthinking of the damage
he would cause in doing it purchased
a can of talcum powder and started
sprinkling his friends with it. In a
very few minutes the talcum powder
craze had spread through the crowd
and clouds OF white powder arose
from every congested spot on the
street
The police made attempts to stop
the throwing Of the powder but with
out avail. Women in velvet coats and
velvet hats suffered the most, the DOW.

caused much discomfort.

War Industries Board to Act as In
termediary to Restore Nation
To Normal State

Washington, Nov. 1o.-Tbc war in
dustries board will hereafter act as
the Intermediary through which the
industrial resources of the nation
are to be carried back to a peace
basis and rapidly diverted to the nor
NAL needs OF industry and trade,
Chairman Baruch announced today.
This arrangement has been exc
cuted by an agreement with all the
war making agencies OF the govern
ment. The board will promptly be
advised of adjustments OF all govern
ment war contracts in excess of
500, 900. 1t has never been the func-
ton OF the war Industries board to
make contracts, and therefore the
board cannot assume responsibility
for contract adjustments. However,
the board will undertake by advice
so to control the situation as to sta
bilize the flow of materials, labor
and plant facilities back TO peace
channels. "
The board will receive information
concerning the cancellation of con-
tracts from all government depart
ments and will keep in constant con-
tact with the industries. The board
will see that labor released from war
Industries by contract cancellations
will be emplaced elsewhere. Similar
functioning will be carried out as re-
CARDS the shifting of materials.

GERMAN WOMEN APPEAL ON
BEHALF OF STARVING POPULATION
Presidents Wife Asked to Incede in Interest of the
Women and Children, Innocent Sufferers Of Ger
many-Plead for Modification of Armistice
Wilson said: /:


Berlin, November L., 1918.
ITO Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, White
House, Washington, p. c.
Madam - According to the terms
of the armistice, Germany has to
surrender q very large part OF the
rolling stock Of her railways. AT the
same time, she has to feed the troops
of her former enemies in the occu-
pied provinces of Germany. The
German women and children have
been starving for years. They will
die from hunger by the millions if
the terms of the armistice are not
changed.
I'VE need the rolling stock of the
railways to bring food from the
farms to the cities. 1t will be inn
possible to feed the soldiers of the
occupying armies If VIC cannot get
large amounts of food from overseas.
The women and children all the
world over, have been the innocent
sufferers of this terrible war. but
nowhere more than in Germany. Let
1t be through you, madam, to i'm
plore our sisters in the United States
OF America, who are mothers like
ourselves, to ask your government
and the allies governments to
change the terms of the armstlcc
so that the long suffering of the
women and children of Germany
may not end in unspeakable dis
aSter.

Washington, Nov. I'D N. So
"Watchfully waiting, but all con-
vinced that conditions will be sat-
isfactory."
That was the condition Of the
United States government today, so
far as officials were concerned. There
were many outstanding possibilities.
But they actually were only poss-
bilities.
President Wilson was well satisfied
that the conditions OF the armistice
will be carried out. White House
officials made this very plain.
1t was agreed that the conditions
of the armisticc had been violated.
But that in no way meant any re-
sumption of hostilities. 1t was due
because the German high command
had been unable to stamp out van
dalism and outrage at o moments
notice. And the United States gov
ernment was well convinced that the
newly organized German control
would make good along all lines.
The appeal of the German women,
sent by wireless to Mrs. Wilson,
reached Washington early today only
in it's unofficial form. The official
text was enroute through the diplo-
matte channels. 1t was expected.
however, that the appeal to Mrs.
Wilson and Miss Jane Adams, to
whom an additional appeal also was
sent, would be replied to in an un-
official form. The message to Mrs.

WAR SHATTERED OLD
BRITISH PARTY LINES

LLOYD GEORGES PLAN
OF Continuing as Premier
During Recontruction
Period?

/ London, Nov. 15.~-The issue in the
coming elections is whether the coun-
try will indorse Lloyd Georges pro-
posal that the present coalition gov
ernment, with himself as premier,
shall be continued after the war for
the work of making peace and carry
ing on tho labor of reconstruction.
Never before were British political
conditions as chaotic as they arc to-
day. Tho war has shattered old
party lines.
The electoral reform bill adopted
by parliament during the summer Of
1917 virtually doubled the number OF
voters. 1t gave the ballot to all
women oyer 80, men over II and SOL
diers under 81. This added 100000
females and 100000 males to the
voting lists. How the women VIII

will support none can predict.

or party funds behind him. lie

which all parties declared at the be-
ginning of the war, and trusts to the
slogan that he is the leader who won

PROPOSED CHANGES in
WAR REVENUE BILL
M ADOO TO MAKE SUGGES.
TIONS TO COMMITTEE.
Speed Urged in Consideration
and Passage of
Measure.

Washington. Nov. 15.--Wlth SCcrc-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo's roc-
concentrations for changes in the
revenue bill before them. the senate
finance committee met today pre-
pared to make speedy alterations to
the bill and TO report IL to the senate
late next week.
Secretary McAdoo was scheduled
to appear before the committee late
this afternoon to explain his propo
sails in detail Most OF the members
of the finance committee were in en-
tire agreemept with his assertion
!. that-the t11 bill should Yield 10000
100000 during the calendar year 1910
and $4,000. 900 during the follow
ing calendar year. There were dr.
ferences OF opinion. however. over
his specific recommendations, al, of
which the secretary expected to be
able TO clear up at his conference
with the committeeman late this aft
Crnoon.
Requests Speed.
Secretary McAdoo's request for
speed on the revenue bill seemed to-
day to have clfectunlly disposed, for
the time being at least. of the cur
rent talk OF delay. Yesterday, SEMI
tors predicted that the bill would not
be reported to the senate by the
committee until the middle of De
cembcr. Whenever it is reported, the
previous delay has practically made
certain that IT cannot be passed be-
fore Jan. !. Reports that the repub-
licuns would seek to delay enactment
of tho bin until after March 4, in
order that II might finally be con
sdcrcd In "a session at which they
would be in control, never have been
credited in Washington. The repub-
Leans will do all they can to speed
enactment OF tho measure, they said
today. Their position is that If bur
denSomc taxation must be imposed,
they would rather have II imposed
with the democrats in control than
by the republicans.
Estimates of Expenditures.
Expenditures OF the government
during the present fiscal year were
estimated by the secretary at SlS,-
OOO,000,00O, in comparison with an
estimate of $4,000, 100000, made be-
fore there seemed to bc any likcli-
hood of peace.
Reversing his former attitude
against payment Of income and profit
taxes in instalImcnts Mr.. McAdoo, in
his letter. recommended framing OF
the revenue bill SO as to provide for
tax payments IN fOur Instruments
saying this would give great addi-
tioual relief to taxpayers during the
reconstruction period as well as give
the government Il stcadier flow of
revenue.
Other recommendations all OF
which Chairman Simmons, accord
ing 10 u statement last night, has
include:
No higher excess profits tax rates
for payments next year than are in
the existing act: elimination OF war
and excess profits taxes for 1920 cH-
cept profits on contracts negotiated
during the war period. increase OF
and individual income
tax rates on incomes of 1919 payable
i'm 1920. determination of the basis
for next years taxes payable in
1920, and prompt enactment of the
pending bill.
