GERMAN I BOATS
SHELL SLAV PORT
BERLIN, Oct. 29.—Christiania
reports that German submarines at
tacked and shelled the Russian
Arctic port of Sipnavalok, sinking
a Russian destroyer and armed Rus
sian patrol boat.
BERLIN, Oct. 29.—The Lokal
Anzeiger says that the submarining
of neutral ships will stop when the
neutrals cease carrying contraband
of war and not before.
BERLIN, Oct. 29.-—The U 30 sank
the steamer Lapland, rescuing the
crew of the liner.
COPENHAGEN, Oct. 29.—The
steamer Lapland was mined.
CHRISTIANIA. Oct. 29.—Ref
lations with Germany are not likely
to become seriously strained by
reason of the sinking of Norwegian
owned steamers, because it is recog
nized that the belligerents have a
right to destroy all steamers which
are carrying contraband. It is poss
ible that the government may make
some interrogations concerning the
ing the sinkings of individual ships,
and the attacks upon others but it is
realized that as long as the neutral
boats carry contraband of war they
stand to take those risks.
The sinkings have however re
sulted in arousing strong anti-Ger
man feeling by reason of the fact
that several of the crews of the
steamers sunk are missing, and have
undoubtedly been drowned.

TAKES LOTS MONEY
ELECT PRES. WILSON
NEW YORK, Oct. 29.—The Chair
man of the Finance Committee of
the DemcJcratic Campaign Committe
says that they need half a million
more to elect Wilson. It is known
that they are depending upon Ford
for one hundred thousand dollars.
NEW YORK, Oct. 29.—The odds
on Hughes are now ten to nine,
with the betting seven to five that
Hughes will carry New York state.
CHICAGO, Oct. 29.—The election
situation has practically everyone
guessing here. Odds are dropping
on Hughes to ten to nine, and the
Hughes money is not coming in as
fast as that of Wilson.
The democrats and republicans
both pretend to be confident, but as
the News says, it is anyone’s race.
It is now known that the demo
crats and republicans are both giv
ing much consideration to the
socialist votes in this race, and
whether or not those will be taken
from Wilson or from Hughes, re
publicans claiming that the social
ist votes will assure the election of
Hughes and the democrats declaring
just the reverse.
The republican campaign oratory
is responsible for a general slump in
their previous confidence. They
have failed to make good, while the
democrats are choosing their spiel
binders with almost unusual skill
and discretion.
The republicans held a re-union
yesterday in their club.
CARRANZA TELLS PRESS
AMERICAN INTRESTS UNFAIR
MEXICO CITY, Oct. 29.—Presi
dent Carranza told the United Press
representaives that Villa's activities
in Chihuahua state were enabled to
be continued by reason of the fact
that the enemies of the de facto
government In the United States
were aiding Villa in his banditry.
Carranza said that there was no
question but that eventually he will
be suppressed and also all his ban
dit followers.
Carranza bitterly denounced the
American newspapers which were
publishing the most absurd fiiction
and the most vicious stories con
cerning actual conditions and hap
penings in Mexico. He said that
these papers had been doing their
best to give Americans a wholly
false and harmful conception of the
■work of the Carranza government,
and the state of affairs in this
DRAMA OILFIELD DREAM.
Tonight the Dream will present
Lois Weber in a tense drama of the
California oilfields. The story deals
with a man named O’Brien, who
makes a million in oil and proceeds
to spend it. The scenes are all taken
in the oil belt, and the picture of the
oil-fire is the one, that a few years
ago broke many millionaires. Many
funny situations provide an amusing
as well as instructive picture. Be
sides this a late Pathe News will be
on the bill.

WASHINGTON. D. C., Oct. 29.—
Commissioner Cabrera, in a state
ment made today sharply arraigned
American neutrality in permitting
plotters to supply arms to General
Villa.
The State Department was greatly
surprised by this statement and at
tempt’s to discount the importance of
Villaism in Mexico. The remarks
of Lansing were to the effect that
Villa had no following.
LINER CHICAGO SAFE
SAYS WIRELESS REPORT
NEW YORK, Oct. 29.—Reports
have reached here by wireless relay
that the liner Chicago which wasre
ported on fire and speeding to Fayal,
Azores, is now proceeding on its
way and will arrive only short
time delayed. The fire has been
got under control and the damage
is not nearly as extensive as at first
reported.
Owing to the absence of direct
communication with the Chicago
which is being still commented
upon, there is yet very great anxiety
among those who have friends on
board the steamer.
The Chicago is expected here to
day or tomorrow.
U BOAT SCARES ARE
USED BY THE 6AMBLEBS
NEW YORK, Oct. 29.—One of the
neatest stunts which speculators
have discovered to get a share of
the unearned increment is the U
boat scare whereby insurance is in
creased upon vessels across the At

An inquiry into the meaning of
the excessively frequent advices that
U boats were close by American
waters, revealed the fact that insur
ance sharks were making use of
these to buy and sell insurances and
made quite a handsome stake from
those who suffered from their own
timidity.

BRITISH RESUME
OFFENSIVE UNi
LONDON, Oct. 29.—A general
resumption by the British of the
Somme offensive is reported from
France today by General Haig. They
captured important trenches north
east of Les Boeuffs after a severe
artillery bombardment. They also
captured all the German positions
northeast of Gommecourt. taking
three hundred German prisoners at
that point.
LONDON, Oct. 29.—The British
began a heavy bombardment of the
German lines near Armentieres.
PARIS, Oct. 29.—Colder, dryer
and brighter weather was followed
by an almost immediate resump
tion of the British offensive on the
Somme. Greatest gains are re
ported from the Les Boeuffs sector.
The Germans are quiet at Verdun,
the French holding all gains.
LONDON, Oct. 29.—The intensive
bombardment reported of the Ger- 1
man lines near Armentieres is taken I
to indicate that the British are to
widen the wings of their offensive.
Heavy fighting is also reported at
Campalung where the British cap
tured about half a thousand prison
ers and a long array of finely en
trenched positions.
BERLIN, Oct. 29.—Small gains
are accredited to the Allies in the
Somme sector where the British at
tacks are again resumed. They
were preceded by an artillery bomb
ardment.
HUGHES PREDICTS LABOR
WILL NOT BE BRIBED
OGDENBURGH, Oct. 29.—Gover
nor Hughes on Saturday delivered
a strong election address to a large
meeting of voters here, and almost
broke away from the style of
speeches to which he has devoted
himself with unusual loyalty.
4le declared that the democrats
were working tooth and toe nail to
secure the labor vote and that for
this purpose they had passed the
eight hour law.
Hughes expressed the opinion that
he did not believe that the demo
crats could purchase the labor vote
by an eight hour law or by any
other means. He was confident that
American workingmen placed a
higher value upon their suffrage
than any means of bribery within
the power of the democrats to
offer.
He championed protection and a
high protective tariff as the only
sound economic gospel for any nation
such as the United States. Under
it the industries had risen from
weak infancy to a giant’s manhood,
and under it alone could prosperity
be permanent and not dependent
upon artificial conditions or a world
wide tragedy. He declared that Am
erican rights ought to be safe in
any section of the world and if ho
were president, he would see that
they were or know the reason why
He made a special appeal to the
farmers and invited them to con
sider what had been the conse
quences of putting agricultural im
ports on the free list. He said it
meant agricultural bankruptcy.
WILSON CHARGES OPPNENTS
USING WORLD WIDE CRISIS
LONG BRANCH, Oct. 29.—Presi
dent Wilson charges that his oppo
nents are without scruple taking
advantage of a world crisis to pre
vent the election of another demo
cratic administration.
He said that their predictions
were all false, that the prosperity of
the nation would end with the end
ing of the war.
Wilson said that the national pros
perity would be lasting, and that it
would reach heights unheard of
after the war.
The president says that his op
ponents when in office had always
been about to do things, but had
never done them, and now when an
administration had not only pro
mised but performed, all that was
left the republicans was to de
nounce what had been done and to
tell how much better they would
have done, if they had done them.
Wilson poured the vials of his acid
satire upon the Hughes pretensions
as to what he would do in office and
surmised that he would be, after a
short sojourn in the White House,
a sadder and a wiser man than the
unsophisticated ex-associate justice
whose interesting promises-and forc
THEY ARE ON THE WAY.

Wilson ridiculed the report that
he had pledged any persons that

cabinet as a reward for support.
ALL SIDES WORKING UP
ELECTION STUNTS JUNEAU
JUNEAU, Oct. 29.—Heavy artil
lery is now appearing in the politi
cal campaign with both sides getting
strong on the mud shells. The
socialists alone are watching the
fusilade of stink pots that Sulzerites
and Wickershamites are exchanging
for the edification of the deer pepul.
The socialists will poll a strong vote
in this division, as well as in the
Third. The election of the demo
crat or the Wickershamite is not
certain by any means.
Cobb’s remaining attorney gen
eral in spite of his candidacy is
proving most amusingly embarras
ing to the regulars.

NOGALES, Oct. 29.—Without a
moment's warning and without any
notice of a possible action of the
kind, secret service men of the De
