HEAVY PRESSURE EXERTED BULCAR POSITIONS
WILSON PREPARES A
MESSAGE CONGRESS
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Nov. 14.—
President Wilson is now preparing a
message for Congress.
He will make no post-election
statement. He admitted to report
ers that he is waiting for his op
ponents to concede his election. Ap
parently there is to be no such in
terchange of courtesies as a congra
tulatory message from Hughes.
Current rumor says that Governor
Hughes is very bitter over his defeat
and takes it with very bad humor.
He had placed every confidence in
his being elected and the assurances
that he could not be defeated repre
sented also his own firm private
opinion.
Wilson admits that his chief con
cern is now over the speakership
and the chairmanships of the com
mittees. He is however very non
committal.
Gregory, Lane and Walsh are said
to be considered for a vacancy on
the Supreme bench. The appoint
ment of Walsh would fill the cup ot
Wall street bitterness to over-flow
ing. Efforts are being made to place
Rublee on the Federal Trades Com
mission notwithstanding the opposi
tion of Gallinger who swears that
he will never see him there.
Wilson has been invited to Den
ver to take part in a Thanksgiving
Dinner and it is not impossible that
he may accept out of gratitude to
the state of Colorado.
NOTICE.
There will be a business meeting
of the Miners’ Home Club at 8 p. m.
at their hall Thursday evening.
TEUTONS STILL MAKING
PROGRESS TRANSYLVANIA
BERLIN, Nov. 14.—The same
desperate fighting that has been
continuing for over a week is being
witnessed still in Transylvania
where the Russians and Rumanians,
notwithstanding their desperate
counters, are unable to keep back
the Teutons and their Allies. Defi
nite progress is reported south ot
Tulghes and the Russians, according
to a Falkenhayn bulletin to the war
office, have been compelled to retire
from north Transylvania.
LONDON, Nov. 14.—Dispatches
from Petrograd and from Vienna
reveal the fact that fighting is now
terrific in two places in the Car
pathians where the Russians are on
a vigorous offensive. They are now
struggling for the possession of the
Olanic and Jiul valleys and the Aus
tro-Germans are endeavoring to pre
vent them making any progress.
Great reinforcements are reported
to have been sent to both these sec
tions.
A Vienna telegram also says that
Teuton reinforcements have been
sent to the Orsova front where the
fighting is little short of desperate.
LONDON, Nov. 14.—The note of
triumph in the Shakaroff report of
his accomplishments hammering
back Mackenzen and his troops
along the Danube is reflected in the
afternoon bulletins of the Head
quarters staff, which report continu
al retreat for the Teuton Allies.
A. F.OF L CONVENES ITS
ANNUAL SESSION, BALTIMORE
BALTIMORE, Nov. 14.—The Am
erican Federation of Labor Is now
in convention in this city with a
very large array of delegates from
every section of the United States
and Canada. Sam Gompers arrived
on November 11, and opened the
convention yesterday.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 14.—The re
ports of the committees and
speeches of the foreign fraternal de
legates to the American Federation
of Labor Convention marked today’s
proceedings here.
It seems certain that there will
be no changes made in the policies
or officialdom of the federation. No
fights between factions are looked
for, and opposition to the executive
board in any way is not anticipated.
Delegates freely admit that there
is likely to be no re-introduction of
any radical policies and for this
reason the position of the leading
officials will not be subjected to any
criticism.
It is stated that the re-election of
Gompers as President and Morri
son as Secretary as well as the
other permanent officials, is practl
caly assured. No one is even men
tioned as a possible opponent oi
Gompers.
It might be possible that the
strong support swung towards Wil
son might elicit some criticism ot
Gompers.
WRITE UP INDICATES REASON
FOR RECALL OF HUGHES
LONDON, Nov. 14.—A Westmi
nister Gazette indicates that the re
turn of Sam Hughes to Canada is
due to the fact that he attacked the
provisions made for hospital treat
ment in France.
While the matter is not definitely
stated, the conclusion can be drawn
from the very clear intimation.
The Westminister Oazette has
been regarded as a ministerial or
gan, although of late it is frank in
criticizing the methods of the coali
tion government. The matter may
be further investigated.
MANAGERS AND MEN TO
MEET SUNDAY, WASH. D. C.
NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—Brother
hood officials and railway managers

next to discuss the railroad situation
and more especially the operation
of the Adamson law.
Vice President Hines of the Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen said

BREAKFAST, ATTACKED
LONDON, Nov. 14.—Further de
tails of the fighting on the Ancre
show that the attack of the British
actually did take the Germans by
surprise, and for that reason the
British losses were unusually light.
The German prisoners state that
they were breakfasting when the
terrific smash began. .
Hi.‘avy resistance was expected at
Hamel but the storming overcame
all resistance and a total of four
thousand have been captured.
The German prisoners state that
it was the most terrible barrage
fire they ever experienced.
The capture of Hamel opens the
strong position of Miraumont which
is within a mile of the covetted
Bapaume, the ultimate objective.
The loss is unquestionably a seri
ous one to Germany. •
BERLIN, Nov. 14.—The British
offensive is breaking upon Beau
court. The loss of the Ancre vill
ages is admitted, but our stubborn
resistance caused important losses
to the enemy.
PARIS, Nov. 14.—The French
checked strong German attacks west
of Auberive. Active artillery press
ure is being maintained along the
entire western front. The British
gains give great satisfaction to the
French.

Why? Because they do the best
work, and- are the only pioneer
tailors in Nome.
OFFICIAL COUNT GAINS
VOTES FOR WILSON
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14.—De
mocratic committeemen say that
t{ie republican candidate might as
well abandon sulking like Achilles
in his tent and admit his being van
quished. The official count following
hard upon the unofficial returns' for
this state show that in the San
Francisco precincts alone Wilson’s
plurality gained by four thousand.
It is held that his state plurality
will officially show a relative in
crease.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 14.—A re-check
of the votes in Hennepin county give
Hughes a 1068 increase, a big gain
in the state.
ST. PAfjL, Nov. 14.—Thirteen
civilian precincts . are yet to be
heard from. The majority of the
soldiers’ votes are uncounted.
Hughes leads in the state by 250.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 14.—The arrival
of a number of missiing precinct
returns show a falling off in Hughes
lead, now by the slender state mar
gin of 151.
MINEEAPOLIS, Nov. 14.—An in
teresting feature of the election re
turns is that the Minnesota Indians
almost solidly voted for Wilson.
They say it was on account of Mrs.
Wilson. Gus Beaulieu of White
Earth reservation said that they
wanted the decendant of Pacahontas
to remain in the White House. “She
is our cousin”, he declared.
STATE DEPARTMENT IS
PREMPTORY IN DEMAND
EL PASO, November 14.—The
State Department today peremptor
ily demanded the immediate release
of three Americans who were jailed
without cause in Juarez and who
have appealed to the American con
sul in their plight. It is expected
that the government of Mexico will
immediately direct that the Amer
icans in custody be released.
The affair indicates the unsettled
state of the whole Mexican question.
ATLANTIC CITY. Nov. 14.—An
interventionist dispatch says that
Chairman Lane and Commissioner
Cabrera are in vigorous opposition
over the question of the withdrawal
of the American expedition from
Mexico and the conference is dead
locked.
that if the eight hour system is not
enforced upon Janyary 1, not a
power on earth can prevent a
strike.
"Some of the roads believe that
they will not have to obey the law
until it has been reviewed by the
Supreme Court, if so they will face
a strike trouble in the meantime,
just to remind them there is such a
law”, said Hines today.
The American viewpoint insists
upon pointing out the inability ot
the Carranza government alone to
render protection to the Americans
resident in North Mexico, and they
also insist that only the presence ot
these troops have prevented Villatisi
followers from raiding sections ol
the United States along the border.
EL PASO, Nov. 14.—The reported
great increase in Villatist strength
is causing a renewed exodus from
Mexico, many Americans giving up
hopes or order being permanently
maintained in the republic.
The continual reports of skirmish
ing heighten this lack of confidence.
WILL NIT SIND MAIL
BY LINER DEUTSCHLAND
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Nov. 14.—
While nothing has been definite);
completed in the way of negotia
tions, it is practically certain that
the Post Office Department will not
send mail for Germany on the
Deutschland.
It is certain however that the
Deutschland will take a big batch
of private mail for Germany.
The commander was not willing
to take up too much space from the
valuable cargo by packing his under
sea liner with immense packages of
mail.
There is considerable disappoint
ment in this connection among the
Germans.
