Russia began a campaign to purge the
government of excessive employees today
with orders to discharge between 5000

The order was issued by the Moscow
Labor Department for the purpose of
eliminating the great clutter of minor
employees in virtually every government

PARIS, November 12.-With debt re-
vision back in the forefront of European
discussion, there was a prediction from
unofficial quarters today that Italy and
Belgium would soon present notes in
Washington dealing with payments due
the United States.
Already France and Great Britain
have presented their views on the status
Of war debts to the United States, and,
although secrecy about them was strictly
adhered to. it was known they dealt
with payments due December is.
altogether foreign debtors are down
for S123,oo0,o0O IN war debt payments

failed to make a payment due this
week, and Hungary has announced she
is unable to pay. Great Britain owes
$95,55o,ooo and France s1s,26l ,43o, the
two largest payments due. Italy owes
Sl,245,437 and Belgium $2,125,00o, all
interest, on December 49,

The suggestion that France and Bel
GUM will follow the lead of Great Brit
ain came from "PertinaX," the usually
well informed political writer.
IF Americas debtors pay up on De-
cember is, they will be obliged to call
back reparations agreements made with
Germany" he said in Echo de Paris.
This means the whole structure built
I'm in July tat the Lausanne confer
erce) Will collapse. If the United States
does not wish to destroy the entire work
they themselves favored, they will have
to lend themselves to a new arrange
ment, and it is imperative to open
way to such an arrangement.
(The Lausanne conference scaled
German reparations down to one-tenth
their former size, bonding them Tor
s7l4,O00, 600. Attached was a gentle
mems agreement recognizing that re-
duction Of reparations depended on ieni-
ency OF creditor governments)

Relief.
HAVANA, Cuba, November IL Dr.
Central Cuba's hurricane dead was near
the 1000 mark today as military and
governmental authorities took hold of
the problem of relief and rehabilitation
for thousands of homeless and destitute.
But it was not necessary to figure the
Caribbean coast town Of Santa Cruz
Del Sur In these plans, for the tidal
wave that followed the storm left it
unfit for habitation. 1t may never be
rebuilt on the sandy shore.
The town presented a picture of pitt
full desolation today. It was nothing
but shambles. and where $500 per-
sons had lived were only soldiers, sani-
tary workers and a few city. ofieials.
Here and there rose the smoke of a
funeral pyre. since it became neces-
sary to burn bodies. The grave diggers
could not bury the dead fast enough for
the sanitary safety Of the few who re-
NAMED on guard
800 Bodies Buried.
Capt. FREDERICK Tomeu on his arrival
here said 900 bodies were buried yes
terday and Thursday. but cremation
was ordered when every pile OF debris
disclosed further dead.
The official estimates Of the dead in
the storm rose to LOO during the
night, but the exact number may never
be known, as many in Santa Cruz were
probably carried to sea by the retreat
ing tidal waters.
Cheered by reports from Havana that
governmental agencies were perfecting
relief plans rapidly, local authorities
co-operated with physicians to avert
epidemic, the dangerous aftermath of
disaster. A few cases of measles were
discovered and quickly isolated.
The last relief train from Santa Cruz
arrived around midnight, bringing in
$50 refugees, most of whom bore
wounds. This arrival lifted the storm
casualties in Camaguey alone to 1000.
Every available shelter was used for
hospital work.
Doctors to Be Relieved.
Relief for the physicians who had
been working increasingly since Thurs
day was expected from Havana mo-
mentarily A train with Is surgeons,
20 medical students and 40 nurses had
left the capital. Secretary of the In
terror Zubizarreta was aboard.
Medical supplies and clothing were
brought in by train, airplane, steamer
and truck. Four trucks arrived from
Havana last night
The Consolidated Railway Co. an
nounced it had ordered relief trains in
from Tunas and Jucaro Caribbean
Coast cities in Santa Clara Province
west of Santa Cruz.
Camaguey Province bore the brunt
of the winds and waves Everywhere
sugar and banana plantations were
leveled and mills damaged or destroyed.
The death list outside of Santa Cruz,
however, appeared surprisingly small,
well under the 100 mark. Injured, how
ever, were numerous.

DEMOCRATS WIN GREAT VICTORY.

The expected has occurred. Franklin D. Roose- welt and John Nance Garner have been elected President and Vce-President of the United States by landslide majority and the Democratic Party has gained control of the Senate and House of Representatives in overwhelming numbers. The American people have responded with almost com plee unsnimity to the magnificent campaign oe Gov. Roosevelt and the Democratic National Com mittee and in the language of the prediction of Al Smith, they have given the Government into the capable hands of Gov Roosevelt. At the hour of this writing, l a m. Wednesday, it appears that Hoover has carried the six States of Delaware, Maine New Hampshire Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont with 55 electoral votes and that Gov Roosevelt has carried the other 42 States with 476 electoral, This is including Kentucky where the votes yet to be counted As it stands Roose- welt has 465 votes.
 It is a glorious victory, but it all suggests Al
 Smiths query in the, New Outlook than month ago. Al Smith said the election already by the Democrats. That makes the important question: What will the Democratic Party do with it's victory?"
 The responsibility will be with the Democrats to perform according to promise. That is the serious question that must follow. The campaign is Now the question is the serious proposition of running the United States That is what the Democratic majority must undertake The party has carried every section of the country Even New England that gave the Republicans four States has given the Democrats majority of 25 to l6 of their electoral votes In the Old Middle States the Republicans received 39 electoral votes while the Democrats got 63 The Southern States the Middle West, the Border States the Mountain States and the Pacific Coast States have all gone Demo- cratic. The party is not sectional. It represents majorities everywhere The industrial mining and agricultural regions are all Democratic The party represents the Nation. It owes it's responsibility to the entire Nation and not to any section special interest or section will have particular claim on the consideration of the incoming Government It will represent the whole Nation including every section of it.
 We believe that the incoming President Roose- velt supported by Congressional majority in both houses of Congress, will meet the demands of the situation. We believe that MT. Roosevelt will meet In full the expectations of his supporters. We fully believe that he will impress the country in such a way as to make people wonder that he did not carry every State in the Nation.
