 Majority In West
TRepubllcan A. p. Leased Wirel

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3l.--Suc- cess for Governor James M. Cox of Ohio, candidate for president, in all Rocky mountain and Pacific coast states except California, Oregon and Washington, was forecast by United States Senator Key Pittman of Ne vada, manager of the western head quarters for the Democratic national committee, in a statement issued here tonight.
 Senator Pittman said:
 From all reports coming into the western headquarters in regard to the western states. it is certain Cox will carry every mountain and Pacific coast state, except Washington, Ore gon and California.
 Tn Washington the labor element is turning from Christensen to Cox, which makes the chances for Cox better than those of Harding. The vote in Oregon has been greatly af- fected by Senator Harding's recent statement that the only safety for the United States is 10 stay out of the league. The prologue sentiment in Oregon is overwhelming and Oregon is now a doubtful state with a drift toward Cox.
 Tn southern California, by reason of strong prologue sentiment the vote will be equally divided between Cox and Harding. San Francisco will give a majority to Harding. This will be overcome by the majority for Cox in Fresno. Stockton. Santa Rosa and the mining counties. where there is a strcng labor vote"

 WASHINGTON, Oct. 51.-The war department today answered charges that the government had sustained great loss through the sale of surplus war supplies witr the claim that it had ..saved over s4.675. .342.SS1.15 to the taxpavers." through the sale Of such supplies and settlements of claims.
 The department made public a statement in which 1t took up Tn de- tail charges made recently in mum Der of newspapers. Characterlzlng these charges as ''unfounded, the stafement said that to have a perfect understanding of the situation IL s.nnust be rememberedp that the de- partment in making it's purchases or war material was contemplating field force of five million men.
 The statement said that had the war ..continued another year the supplies on hand would have been totally in adequate.
 If no reserve was provided" the statement added. there would nave been a repetition of the conditions which existed in the Spanish-Arnerl- can war
 The statement asserted that sales of war material overseas aggregated ss22.923. .225S2. France, it was said, purchased goods for s532, 000,000 and waived customs duties estimated at approximately s150,0o0 and further assumed the payment of 150000 claims against the United States arising out of the American occupation
 AS a result of the work of the United states liquidation commission" the statement said, the war depart ment saved to the taxpayers from the sale of surplus war material in Eu- rope S972 923.225S2, plus the claims for l damages which would have been en- tered against the government. Thus the claim that the property which had ] cost this country s1,S90,9s9,302. was i disposed of to the French government for four million dollars payable in ten years is entirely erroneous.
 The department said equipment val ued at s672, ,000.000 was returned to the 1 United States.
 [ As to sales in this county, the de partment asserted that the sales divi- sion had disposed of property which cost the government s1.132,067 ,41692 and that the return to the United States had been sS39. .S7S ,417.42.'

 Both Senator Harding and Governor Cox have pleaded with the voters to elect a congress in which their respee- tive parties would have a majority.

II you are hunting q domestic for

Ellis Island.
That advice, voiced yesterday BY
Frederick A. Wallis, Commissioner of
immigration, has ample basis in the
experience of thousands who have
sought to solve their servant problems
at the island during the last year. The
Social Welfare Department has been
deluged with applications for women
to work as domestics, but virtually
none have listened rece eptlvey to the
offers. Commissioner Wallis has been
trying to get servant for his wife
and hasn't succeeded
The reason is not that the women
hold any particular aversion to house
hold work, it appeared from interviews
with numbers of the newcomers yester-
day, but rather that they have heard
through correspondence with relatives
or frienGs in this country before they
left their native lands of the fabulous
wages paid in this city in other fields
of endeavor. They have simply decided
in advance to 60 for the big money
But there is ray Of hope on the
household horizon in correspondence

Wallis and the representative Of Eu

arranged to open bureau in this city

grants in this country.

also having its effect.
