POLITICAL ORACLES PUZZLED
British to Hazard Prophecy on Eyt
 of the Election.

London, Nov. 12.-While the orators have had their last day of rest before the voting, the seers and oracles al, working overtime to cast the horo- scope of the future. Political prophe- sy is under cloud at present, because a great majority of the newspaper ex- perts went wrong in predicting that Lloyd Georges friends would contro. the Carlton Club meeting. which cast off the coalition and declared the Con- servative party's independence.
 Moreover, all the prophets take a lesson from the American elections, fresh in their minds, and hedge with the admission that while they are making their predictions on normal form in the political race their fore casts may come to grief through some unforeseeable cause.
 The only issue in doubt Wednesday when the general elections will be held, according to the claims of the Conservatives, is whether Bonar Law party will command a majority in the House of Commons over all other par ties combined That it will elect more members than any other one party is not questioned at any of the political headffaarters n London-a clear ma jority of 30 or 40 in a house of 615 members.
 Coalition and cooperation are two devices which were thrown overheard at the Carlton Club, and which the Conservatives certainly are anxious to steer clear of. because they want to return to straight party government. Lord Beaverbrooks Daily Express which backs Bonar Law strongly. gives him 40 majority, the Asquitn Liberals and Labor each about 12J seats, and the Georgian Liberals not more than 35.
 If the crowds cheers could be de- pended upon to mean votes, Lloyd George and his cause might be expect ed to be swept back into power on a we've of popular enthusiasm. The former prime minister has been the one vital and magnetic personality of the campaign, although MT. Asquith's meetings developed unexpected favor for the retired leader. But while the real issue is vote of confidence or no confidence in the Lloyd George govern ment, tranquility seems to suit the country's mood.

In an automobile trip last week and observing the towns and country pass ed through we were struck with one small town in particular, its general air Of prosperity. beautiful homes anu business houses surpassed by nothing We have seen in the state, and yet 1t was small town and drew its pros- perity from the surrounding farms. A look at the farms along the road soon gave us the answer. The land, was terraced, Jersey cows were in ev- cry pasture and flocks of sheep bloomed out on every hillside lihc bouquets. Everything showed thrift and pride It was not the best land in the world, but none was being better cared for that We have ever seen. The town was Waldo. The people were native Arkansans and thoroughbreds like their registered stock. We didn't see ramshackle dwelling nor an un- tidy yard. We saw rows of 'airplane bungalows and homes modern and beautiful, large rose gardens and no house in need of paint.

TOLL OF DISASTER NOW SET AT 1000
Latest Reports Reveal Tremendous Magnitude of Earthquake
 in Chile.

Santiago, Chile, Nov. 12.-With par tial re-establishment of communlca- tion. Chile's earthquake catastrophe is revealed in even greater magnitude than first reports indicated. It IS es" timated that at least 1000. are deao, and many thousands are in distress needing food and shelter.
 In addition to heavy casualties oi dead and injured at Copiapo and Co., auimbo, it wasgreported today that 500 were killed at, Vallenar and the sur rounding district. %
 Vallenar was virtually destroyed and the.survivors are in critical con dition. It seems certain that there have been casualties in other towns and villages around 'Copiapo, to the south. concerning which no news 1i available.
 Already "A bodies have been recov- cred at CoQuimbo, where it is known there are 100 or more dead. At Chan aral many were killed by falling houses.
 Is Vast Destruction.
 It was earthquake and tidal wave combined that accounted for the vast destruction in the provinces of Anto- fagasta, Atacama and Coquimyo.
 The movement of the ocean is de- scribed as phenomenal. It gave evl- dence of terrific disturbance in the bed of the Pacific itself. There must have been such a tearing at the bot tom of the sea that immense quant;, ties of water were sucked through causing a tremendous recession oi waters along the Chilean coast.
 Several times the ocean swept odt. ward and came back, in the shape of a great wave, flooding the ,seaportz and in some instances sweeping away the water front.
 The violent effects of the tidal waves were felt from Antofagasta lon the north to Valdivia on the south, GOV ering about 16 degrees of latitude, o1 more than 1900 miles.
 All types of craft lying in the vari- ous harbors were swept on shore and wrecked, or left high and dry, and a, lscores of small ports wharves anC quays were destroyed Chilean maya vessels in the harbor at Talcahuano about 300 miles south of Valparaiso when they felt the force of the waters slipped their cables and proceeded ou to the open sea.
 President Alessandri has ordered the various government departments to take all measures possible for the relief of the sufferers in the stricke, districts, those most sorely afflicted llying between Coquimbo and Copiapo The Navy Department hassent ships along the coast to aid in the work.

WAVE OF BUYING
 BRINGS PROSPERITY
Marked Increase in Demand for Goods .o Speeds Up Industry-Increase
 In Employment.

Washington Nov 1.-The buyers strike of recent unpleasant memory
 has been succeeded by general rush to spend, according to survey com Ipleted this week by the Department of Commerce which announces that E"the most important development of recent weeks is the marked increase in the demand for goods" Current wholesale distribution, the announce |ment continues, Is far in excess of last |year's levsl and the low stocks of re- tailers, maintained at the minimum in |anticipation of another buyers strike, have been depleted. The retailers shelves are being re- stocked and as a consequence mills, factories and railroads are steadily in- |creasing the volume of their activities. According to the departments view
 industrial activity will continue at the present rate, or better. for months to
 catch up with the orders now comin. in as result of the spending wave and the retailers unpreparedness to meet it.
 Increase in Employment.
 As an instance of the increase in the
 public's buying power during the past
 few months, the Department of Labor
 cites it's unemployment records. Ten
 months ago the 1,428 concerns can vassed regularly by the department had on their payrolls 1,493 ,000 work
 CTS. Since that time the number has increased by 336,350, or about 23 pe.' cent. This is interpreted as meaning
 that the employees of those 1,42S con- cerns, after making due allowance for wage cuts, have approximately 20 per
 cent more to spend for necessities and luxuries than they had on January 1.
 If this proportion holds true for all industry, the department figures, the bu, ing public has spending power of
 at least $5,oH0, ,0OO, O,0O0,0 900 a year more than it had 10 months ago. The cou-
 cerns canvassed are grouped under ] 1
 ,na.or heads which include workers lll
 iron and steel, lumber, tobacco, paper ana printing. textiles, chemicals, food and the automotive industries. It Is
 believed that the canvass is thorough | ly representative of industrial actiy.- | ty throughout the nation.

The climax OF the bitter experiences
Of Mr.. Grant and his wife came when

NIr Grant took the cure, as he had been

learned the nationality Of the Grants
1hc5 began a TRADE against America
and Americans. Mrs. Grant had been
unable TO get seat, and Mr.. Grant who
is 20, had to stand four hours.
Mrs. Grant remarked, half humor-
ously, TO her husband: "If | don't get
seat soon l shall drop in the aisle
This inspired one Of the Swedes to
say, loudly: II would like to see YOU
drop and die in the aisle"
The other Swedes both sitting. APP

Mr.. Grant protested against this ut

broken English, at him. I'VE hate
Americans We hate you with our
hearts, our brains aud our blood -
A little later one of the seats was
vacant and Mrs. Grant, with American
swiftness, promptly pumped herself be-
side one OF the sitting Swedes, much

who declared that she was not entitled

The Swede retreated and shouted that

and politely asked Mrs. Grant for her

Thereafter the Swedes carried on their
conversation, mostly denunciations OF

Everywhere they went in Holland and
