Elections Draw Near

Berlin, Nov. 25.-Candidates for
nomination for the Presidency are
making their appearance. though
the next presidential elections in
Germany are presumably some
months away, certainly are not set

by himself, is Adolph Damaschke,
of Hamburg, who has announced
that he will accept a call to run for
the office if he hears it from smen
and women of all camps"
To further the call" Herr DANA

by all those who favor him. The

but will set a bad ex-

presidency will grow up like mush-

Herr Damaschke formerly was

to devote himself to social political

Mexico Prohibits
Old Time Fiiestas
on Old Souls Day.

Mexico City, Nov. 25.-A new.
municipal law forbids Mexicans to
hold fiestas in Gem meteries over the
graves of their grandmothers or
other relatives, as has been the an
nual practice of the poorer people
on All Souls Day This action has
been taken at the request of the
church authorities.
For years one of the most popu-
lar holidays in the long calendar of
such days in Mexico has been All
Souls Day which by regulation of
the Catholic Church is dedicated to
the dead and as such should be OBJ
served as a solemn occasion. The
poor class of natives, however, had
turned it into day of hilarity and
general rejoicing and 1t was no un-
common thing to find a happy group
drinking pulque ard singing songs
over the grave OF some dear and de-
ceased relative,

u. S. Marine Tonnage
Totals 11,773,OOO

New York, Nov. 25.-The Amerl-
can merchant marine has expanded
from four ships in deep-sea COM
merce before the war to a feet of
9,773,000 tons in ocean service, ac-
cording to figures made public by the
National Marine League. In addi-
ton, Great Lakes shipping measures
100000 tons, giving a total of H.
773,000, against Great Britain's 49,
100000 tons.
To stimulate the interest Of the
country in the shipping program,
with the ultimate object of surpass-
ing England as maritime nation, a
national marine exhibit will be pre-
sented in Grand Central Palace April
IL to II of next year, under the
direction OF the league.
The solution of the problem of
distributing foreign goods that will
flood this country in payment of
debts, without demoralizing Ameri-
can industries, will be one of the
big questions before the exhibition,
according to August Belmont, chai"-
man of the board of trustees of the
league.
