WILSON VIQOROUSLY
ATTACKS G. 0. P’S
SHADOWLANDS, Oct. 1.—What
may be described as the first cam
paign speech of President Wilson
was delivered today to three thou
sand young democrats who cheered
the democratic president with
vigor.
Wilson was in good form and de
livered a telling attack upon the
republicans. Wilson said that re
publicans had been asking what the
democrats had done. They refused
to see the great progressive measure
that had been carried through un
der a democratic government. But
Wilson directed their special and
unanswerable attention to the fact
that the democratic administration
is the first in a long period of years
wherein Wall Street had not made
the Treasury of the United States
its own to control and use. He said
that a republican victory meant the
embroilment of the United States
in the European war and many who
now were cheering Hughes would
be the first to lament it should their
votes prove successsful; it meant
that force would be used to produce
in Mexico conditions which certain
powerful investors in the United
States demanded. It meant the sub
jugation of a neighboring republic
for the continued profit of those in
vestors whose title deeds were not
always clear, and it meant a return
to the bondage of Wall Street that
had so disgraced the nation in form
er terms.
He said that all red blooded pro
gressives were democrats: that and
no other.

GENERAL STRIKE IS
FAILING,
YORK
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.—The lack
of support upon the part of the
unions, which is tacitly approved by
the leaders of the executive body, is
responsible for the fact that the gen
eral strike in this city to support the
traction workers now appears to be
crumbling.
The women garment workers have
-voted to refrain from a sympathetic
strike and in this they are following
Buit of the building trades, the
longshoremen, the teamsters ana
others who could have made the
strike at least more effective. The
situation is not likely to produce
any developments and the failure of
the other unions to come to the
rescue of the tractlonlsts will prob
ably mean that in a short time the
strike will be crushed and the com
panies completely dominate the si
tuation.
The companies so far are unable
to run trains very successfully, al
though they claim that the trains
are running now almost upon normal
schedule. That the cars are running
much better cannot be denied, but
they are still very hap-hazard and
irregular. The company claims that
many are returning, but the leaders
claim that there have been no de
fections from the ranks of the
traction men.
The strike situation as a general
condition appears to be crumbling
to pieces and the lack of solidarity
is marked.
DONT WANT BOOMERANG
FOLLOW A RETALIATION
WASHINGTON, - D. C., Oct. 1.—
The Department of Commerce and
of State have been quietly consider
ering the matter of retaliations
against the Entente Powers for the
interference with mail and the
blacklisting of American firms which
they allege are in fact German firms
operating in the United States, or
-with strong German alliances.
The departments desire to avoid
a boomerang and they fear that any
radical retaliatory measure might
seriously interfere with the §norm
ons trade which the United States
is now doing with the Entente
Powers, not in munitions alone but
in other commodities which could
be handled by other countries.
While some action will be taken
according to Congressional advice,
the department intends to go slow in
EFFORTS TO BE MADE. M
SEATTLE, Oct. 1.—Strong efforts
are to be made to settle the long
shore strike which has been hanging
tire in this city for some time. Th#
threat of the other unions to call
a sympathy strike is occasioning
IP some anxiety. The longshoremen
have still hopes of being able to call
out the sailors whose ships are
loaded by strike breakers and it
they are successful in this they feel
that the strike will be won.
The possibility of the sympathetic
strike may hasten a compromise of
the struggle already so protracted.

the matter and nothing will be done
until after the arrival here of Am
bassador Page who will discuss the
matter at length.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.—The mattei
of placing an embargo on some com
modities in retaliation for the En
tente Black List and mail and cable
interference is being opposed by
powerful interests which have been
doing an enormous export trade,
and it is held that this influence will
be sufficient to prevent any hasty re
taliatory measures being under
taken. The fear of a boomerang Is
reflected in reports which are being
received from Washington today.
The Germanists are urging imme
diate action.
HUGHES
WILSON GOVERNMENT
BUFFALO, N. Y. Oct. 1.—The
last day of September was selected
by the republicans to hear their can
didate address the G. O. P's of this
place. There was a bumper attend
ance because the meeting was well
advertised and big crowds were on
hand to greet the former associate
justice. Once again he showed signs
of hoarseness, probably due to the
tremendous strain to which he is
exposing himself in his efforts to
captuie this state.
He today delivered a speech which
was devoted almost exclusively to
financial topics and which proved
Hughes as the prophet of Big Busi- :
ness and the apostle of High
Finance. He bitterly attacked the
administration for its failure to aid
in the flotation of the Chiense loan, ■
so necessary to the maintenance ot
American prestige in the Far East.
He said that the democratic admi
nistration had presented the most
lamentable failure in its entire di
plomatic body, the appointment ot
untrained diplomats being however,
a necessity in an administrat:on i
which lived upon politics. He said i
.hat such untrained diplomats had
icriously injured the reputation of
;he country in the Latin American
•epublics and they had hopelessly
'ailed to observe that brains not
lelfishness should be used in the se
ection of American representatives
ibroad.
Candidate Hughes hardly dealt
with local or national issues in any
vay.

CHAOTIC CONDITION IS
PRESENT STATE GREECE
BERLIN, Oct. 1.—An unconfirmed
report emanates today from Bucha
rest, the Havas News Agency wire
lessing the report that King Con
stantine and family have left Athens
and that the new government, im
mediately upon his doing so, de
clared war upon Bulgaria.
An evening dispatch from Sofia
says that no communication can be
obtained with Athens from the Bul
gar capital, the Allies interrupting
and jamming all radios, while they
hold up the land lines.
It is possible the report is true
and the Tageblat declares that it is
correct.
BERLIN, Oct. 1.—The Greek si
tuation is now in a stage of hope
less confusion and although it is
held that the country will end by
going to war against Bulgaria and
aiding the Allied powers, the war
department is so completely disorga
nized it will be able to render only
a doubtful assistance.
LONDON, Oct. 1.—Great inreresr1
is manifested in the dispatches com
ing in reporting mat Constantine
tnd his family have left Athens,
rhere is nothing authentic coming
aut of Greece and news matters are
ill doubtful. Many of the Greek
affieers have already volunteered for
service against Bulgaria and indi
vidual units are now in arms against
the forces of the Central Powers
and their Balkan Ally.
The situation is uncertain.
HYPOCRISY MONUMENTAL
SAYS CHAIRMAN M’CORMICK
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.—Chairman
M’Cormick of the democratic na
tional committee says that the hy
pocrisy of the republicans is, seri
ously, monumental “What are we,

RUMANIANS ARE RADLY
REFEATED RY GERMANS
BERLIN, Oct. 1.—Von Falken
hayne won a four day battle by a
quick blow at the enemy’s left wing,
the Germans recapturing the detour
positions and blocking the enemy’s
retreat. The Germans moved north
wards crumpling the Rumanian left
The Rumanian first army is in flight
from many positions leaving con
siderable booty behind.
The victory is complete and con
vincing.
BERLIN, Oct. 1.—All Berlin is
is ringing with the complete ana
crushing defeat of Rumania, the
Germans shattering the first army
completely by lightening tactics that
swept the Balkan enemy off their
feet and held the generals bewilder
ed by a series of strokes delivered
with unerring skill by the German
leader in a four day continuous en
gagement, that has ended in the
complete collapse of the Rumanian
forces.
BERLIN, Oct. 1.—The only front
at which important results are re
ported is the Rumanian. Minor suc
cesses have been achieved in the
east and west but the consequences
are not important.
BERLIN, Oct. 1.—It is now pro
mised that before the winter sweeps
over RuWnia that territory will be
as completely and humiliatingly con
quered as was Servia. The evident
ability of the Germans is striking
terror into the Rumanians.
Anything In the line of Job work
BUYS AN ISLAND
IN WEST ATLANTIC
CHICAGO, Sept. 29.—The pen
may not be mightier than the sword,
but the pencil of Cartoonist M’Cut
cheon is proving a veritable gold
mine.
Today it is announced that M’Cut
cheon has bought Slate Island in the
Bahamas from its British owners.
The sum paid is not named, but is
said to be very high. M’Cutcheon
intends to erect a magnificent resort
for himself on the island and will
retire there during his vacational
trips. He is an enthusiastic yatchs
denounce the measure to say to the 1
fact that seventy republican mem
bers In Congress supported the bill?'
The bill would not have passed
without this republican support un
less without a great deal of trouble
and the republican candidates who
denounce it should explain why so
many of them are found in support
of it when it came to a vote.
M’Cormick says that the republi
cans are greatly in error if they
think the country will not approve
what some of them are pleased to
consider an unfair concession to
labor.
SALT LAKE, Oct. 1.—Fairbanks,
vice-presidential candidate on the
republican ticket, bitterly attacked
the wastefulness of the democratic %
administration last night in this
city.
For extravagance the democratic
majority had never been equalled in
the history of the country. They
had literally looted the national
treasury. Fairbanks said that not
less than twenty million dollars in
the Rivers and Harbor bill is plain,
downright and unmistakable pork.
The administration had been waste
full and extravagant.
JUDGE DUNN POSPONES
DECISION IN RE-TRIAL
♦
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.—Al
though ' it was , expected that he
would render a quick decision .in the
case, Judge Dunn surprised both
sides by announcing that he would
postpone the question of granting
a re-trial to Warren Billings con
victed of being the man who placed
the bomb on Market Street where
is exploded upon the preparedness
parade with fatal results. The
Judge postponed the decision in the
application for a new trial until
Tuesday morning next at ten o’clock.
The reason for this delay is not
apparent, although the prosecuting
officials say that they are now satis
man and ocean fisher, and he thinks
he can get all he wants off the
Bahamas group. The nationality
in control of the island will not of
course change in any way.
fled that no re-trial will be granted.
Billings made a strong individual
plea for a re-trial and his counsel
made a hard fight. The case will be
appealed.
