Says He Prays Daily That
German Fleet VIII
Come Out

Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the
Navy, and Governor Whitman were
guests of the New York Athletic Club
last night at its tiftieth birthday din
ner at the Hotel Astor There were
l,300 present. MIR. Daniels said that
he prayed daily that the German high
seas fleet might emerge from it's re-
treat.
This war will not end" he said,
until Americas rights are vindicated
and our army marches into Berlin vic
torious, and my daily prayer is that as
General Pershing's army marches on
ward the German navy will come out
and let the Allied naves give it battle.
But let us not be too certain that we
will not have to pay heavy toll before
we enter Berlin. Rather, let us stand
ready to pay it,
Mr. Daniels, in the name of til kov.

Palrner Would Retain
Eneiny-Owned Plants
Custodian Opposes Paying
Profits TO People Who
Brought On War

BALTIMORE, Sept. 30-A Mitchell
Palmer, alien property custodian, in
Liberty Loan address here tonight,
said that a law should be enacted by
CONGRESS- to confiscate the German
owned industrial plants in this coun-
try at the termination of the war. as
we'll as the profits made by them.
Il would divorce utterly and forever
all German capital from American in
dustry," said Mr.. Palmer. ~ have
watched these great enemy corpora
tons under my management earn enor-
nous profits, growing out of the very
war conditions for which their owners
and their owners friends in Germany
are directly responsible, and l face the
possibility of piling up these inordi-
nate profits for distribution after the
war to the very persons to whom under
the circumstances it would be immoral
and unconscionable for them to go. The
government finds itself with a large
organization at its own expense pre-
serving property which was placed here
originally as n hostile act, looking to
the conquest of America"

companies, Mayor Hylan asserts. is ac-
companied by increased capitalization
and 1T is the burden of this "watered"
stock, ne says, which makes necessary
the demand for seven-cent fares. TAX
ing up individual cases, he SAYS:
The Fourth Avenue franchise in
Manhattan was given in 1881 to run
a freight and passenger steam railroad
down Fourth Avenue. The lower part
Of the avenue. below Forty second
Street, ceased to be of service for that
purpose, and under the old steam rail-
road charter the street railroad has
been operated as a surface line since
the dlsconrinuance Of the steam road.
"The persons who received this
ancient privilege to operate railroad
on this street were under obligation
to operate such railroad in a manner
to properly serve the people. They
have turned over to holding corpora
tion the duty thus imposed upon them
by the franchise. and are receiving for
this privilege 100000 per year with
out performing any service to the peo-
pie. This is more than 81 900 a day
this street, which should go into the
pockets of the people instead.
millions of dollars have been paid
to one family since the franchise was
granted, all of which was taken in
nickels out of the pockets of the peo-
pie.
"From the Eighth Avenue line, which
secured a franchise, another family
receives S215,000 per year without
rendering any service to the people.
The Forty-second Street and Grand
Street Ferry lines secured a franchise
and let their franchise for $109,00O per
year to the OCeratinp cOnDanies all
OF which must be taken out of the
tares of passengers. Similar instances
could be cited.
Il wish you would make q thorough
Investigation into all the street rail
way franchises and find out if the hold
ing companies are living up to and
performing the conditions made be-
tween the city and the original COM
rany. If these lines are not being
operated in accordance with the fran
chise conditions | direct you to start
proceedings at cnce to annul the fran
chises
II am informed that certain railroad
officials receiving salaries in the
neighborhood of 100000 per year ride
around in Rolls Royce automobiles cost
ing $4,000. which is charged to the
city under the dual subway contracts,
eventually pay"
Mayor Hylan declares that all dc
partments Of the city will aid in in
vestigating the amount Of "watered'
stock in the street railway companies
and the revenues received by the "fam-
lilies owning the stock before the an
pllcatlon for the fare increase is passed
upon by the Board Of Estimate and An
portionment.

Miss I'urbervill, English Y. w.

Women should be admitted to a

church, according to Miss Edith Pic

She has come to speak during the
united war work campaign to be con-
Quoted al over the United States in
November.
"Women have been expelled by de-
grecs from the place they held in the
Church ministry of the first two centu-

worker yesterday. "ln the Middle
Ages also women were given recogni.

For Vote for Troops
Democratic Campaign Leader
Wants Ballots Mailed
Abroad

SYRACUSE, N. y. Sept. 3O.-Joseph
A. >sllogg. chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Campaign Committee, to-
night issued the following statement:
Since the publication to-day of the
statement by the Republican state
chairman | have been deluged with re
quests froI all over the state to know
why the thousands of New York State
soldiers now overseas are not to be
allowed to exercise their constitution
right to vote.
Many persons have said to me that
II there are any men in the world who
ought not to be so deprived, it is the
men who are gallantly defending their
countrys rights, with their lives if
need be, and in this opinion | heartilv
concur.
II wired Secretary of State Hugo
this afternoon calling his attention to
the plain provisions of law, as fol-
lows:
In view of the fact that the method
of taking the vote of the soldiers in
France by commission is impracticable,
do you propose to provide our soldiers
there with facilities for voting, as re-
CURED by the statutes and the State
constitution by mailing ballots and re-
turn envelopes to the soldiers in
France, in accordance with the orders
OF the War Department?
TO this telegram have received no
answer, hut l am taking further steps
and shall continue to do all in nv
power 20 see to it that the soldiers
right to vote is protected"

AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, Sept. 20 (By The Associated
Press). - Fighting along the new
front, northwest OF Verdun, has set
tied down to the drcary business
to whc, the machine gun has reduced
modern warfare. Progress is being
measured by the laborious reduction Of
small points, which are held by small
groups Of men, but able to paralyze
force out Of all proportion to their
fighting value.
From dramatic viewpoint, the
greatest fighting has taken place in the
Argonne Forest, wherc it has resent bled
duel fought to the finish in a dark
room. The density Of the forest is COM
plicated by the strangeness Of the
ground, which resembles nothing so
much as the backbone and ribs cf g
flatfish, with the ribs on one side
shortened to half their length and the
backbone running north and south.
These ribs represent series Of ridges
and ravines, which are almost peril
ously steep on the western side. but
less abrupt and longer further west.
10 force such a position would be suf-
ficiently difficult if it had been in the
enemy's hands but a short time, but
much harder since he has been in Dos
session of it for years.
When the enemy had built series
OF stone mansions beneath the hill
SIDES and constructed approaches If
sttonelined trenches, the formidable
character Of the task may be under
stood; But even more formidable than
the dugouts and trenches is the wire
woven endlessly among the trees
Fight Foot by Foot
Through such country the Amer
leans have been fighting their way foot
by foot.
Notwithstanding everything. the
troops have gone through the forest
almost as steadily as their comrades
