ROAR OF ENTHUSIASM
GREETS PRES. WILSON
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—A roar ot
enthusiasm went up from the giant
masses that assembled to greet Pre
sident Wilson upon his arrival here.
Not in all the history of presidential
elections has New York city devel
oped such an extraordinary wave of
enthusiasm as the well sustained
ovation which today is extended to
Woodrow Wilson.
Wilson arrived here this morning
at nine o’clock and speaks tonight at
Madison Square Garden. This meet
ing is expected to outrival the fam
ous 1912 appearance when Wilson
was cheered for one hour of sixty
minutes sustained applause. Three
thousand additional seats have now
been added to the assembly hall,
which is now the largest capacitied
in New York City.
Thousands of Tammanyites
paraded last night, while the vast
concourse of the streets cheered
every Wilson display. Wilson
speaks before the Wilson Business
men’s League at noon and also at
Cooper Union this evening.
The receptioit extended to Wilson
baffles description. His way from the
railroad station to the hotel caused
a suspension of all traflie. It was
one continuous wild ovation that at
times threatened the police resour
ces to make a way for the President.
Republican papers concede it to
have been astonishing, and the
strongest Hughes papers are hard
pressed to explain its apparent spon
taneousness.
MEETING NOTICE.
” The Democratic Party will hold a
rally at Eagle Hall, Monday night at
8:30 o'clock. The Nome Brass Band
will furnish the Music.
TEUTONS HALT THEIR
ADVANCE IN DOBRUDJA
PETROGRAD, Nov. 2.—The Head
quarters Staff announces that after
some fierce fighting, the advance of
the Teutons against the Russians
and Rumanian lines has been halted
by Mackenzen. The belief prevails
that this course has been forced
upon the German commander by the
shortage of men and an insufficient
number to protect the long line now
held by them along the Danube. The
liability to a flank attack is appar
ently greatly feared.
BUCHAREST, Nov. 2.—Marshal
Mackenzen has been obliged to di
vert several regiments to Transyl
vania to protect Falkenhayn who
has been suffering severe reverses at
the hands of Avescu.
LONDON, Nov. 2.—There apiears
to be no longer any question that
the Rumanians after an exceedingly
trying time and violent battling
have at last succeeded in checking
von Falkenhayn in Transylvania.
Falkenhayn’s gains were at no time
of great importance, but his opera
tions were a deadly menace to Ru
mania.
ROME, Nov. 2.—The inevitable
happened. With the Allies intermit
tently threatening the south, the
Russians occasionally attacking in
Galicia, the Italians forging their
way upon Trieste, and the Allies in
France striking desperate blows on
the Somme and at Verdun, the Cen
tral Powers find that not sufficient
men can be spared for the great Ru
manian drive before winter sets in
and the big rush of the Central
Powers has halted.
KOENIG TELLS ABOUT
ESCORT FOR BREMEN
NEW LONDON, Nov. 2.—Captain
Koenig said that the fate of the
Bremen was not uncertain, the ves
sel had submerged and never came
up.
The U 53 was sent to protect the
Bremen crossing the ocean and to
sink patrol cruisres which might at
tack.
Koenig commenting upon the re
ported presence of a submarine in
the vicinity of Norfolk which quite
frequently occurred, said that the
U 53 may have been searching in
the vicinity of Newport for a week
t prior'to its arrival in an American
port.
He himself ran into gales for four
days which made it impossil le to
make observations and had to run
on dead reckoning. He thinks he
was very fortunate with the Deutch
land.
Koenig said that soon Germany
would be turning out submarines
like Fords of giant class and re
I
gister.
Koenig also said that he believed
the submarines would revolutionize
all maritime commrece.
NEW LONDON, Nov. 2.—The
crew of the Deutschland will hold
memorial services at sea for the
crew of the Bremen when returning
homeward. Arrangements are being
completed for the insurance of the
Deutschland and its cargo to Ger
many.
FISCAL CONDITION WARRING
NATIONS CAUSES CONCERN
NEW YORK, Nov. —American
financiers are beginning to figure
that the war will die out because
eventually there will not be money
enough to keep it going. Only by
SOCIETY DRAMA AT DREAM.
Tonight danty Lois Meredith and
the noted Hamilton Revelle will be
the leading characters in George
Bronson Howards gripping story
“An Enemy to Society”, 6 parts.
It is an enthralling drama of ro
mance, intrigue mystery and thrills.
The tale abounds with action, and
hinges around a young man "ijho
was stolen, and educated to be a
“Crook”. The scenes are laid on
both sides of the Atlantic and on
shipboard. The receptions and func
tions, showing the “400 hundred"
are perfect in every detail. It is an
Interesting photoplay from start to
compulsory sacrifice of millions now
held by belligerent nations in the
banks, an unthinkable proposition
such as financial conscription, would
it be possible to indefinitely prolong
the war.
New York banks estimates that
the total war debts of the seven
large nations involved reaches the
staggering and wholly unthinkable
total of $75,000,000,000. The accu
mulated debt is contrasted with
$27,000,000,000 when the war
started.
It is estimated that the daily cost
of the war in all nations amounts
to the staggering sum of $105,000,
000 as against ninety millions of
one year ago.
By a diminution in her imports
Great Britain has decreased her war
expenses a fractional tripe, while
France, Russia and Germany have
increased theirs* the latter by the
necessity exists for importing food
and other articles.
On the whole, it is concluded that
none of the nations have yet reach
ed the limit of its spending capa
city, although some are mortaging
thoir annual wealth for years to
come. The situation is the cause of
concern for future stability in the
financial world, thinks the bank re
port.

ALMOST ALL
VERDUN BATTLE LOST
LONDON, Nov. 2.—Almost all the
gains made by the Germans in their
Verdun campaigning have been sur
rendered in the evacuation of Fort
Yaux and the .withdrawal from
Vaux village. The wonderful Ger
man offensive of the late winter and
spring, which cost in the neighbor
hood of quarter million lives, is now
in such evacuation a con.eased fail
ure.
The Daily Mail commenting upon
the Vaiyt abandonment says the
British Dardanelles collapse fades
into insignificance in comparison.
The demoralizing effect is sure to be
enormous. The Times, always
more careful, says, however, that it
is a dangerous admission of costly
failure, sure to be followed by loss
of morale.
BERLIN, Via Sayville Wireless.
Nov. 2.—The Germans evacuated
Fort Vaux and Vaux village accord
ing to an announcement by the
Grand General Staff. The artillery
activities of the enemy east of the
Meuse had recently increased in in
tensity, with an especially destruc
tive Are concentrated upon Vaux.
The Germans evacuated Vaux dur
ing the night with no loss, after dy
namiting the only remaining parts
of the forts still standing.
The evacuation is of no signifi
cance as the position is useless for a
defensive campaign. Now that the
offensive has shifted to another sec
tor, the tenancy of Vaux would be
more trouble and cost than it is
worth.

withstanding.

The third candidate for the sen
atorship, Martin Moran, arrived in
Nome last evening and now all are
here. Mr. Moran made a very, ex
tensive canvas of the Seward Penin
sula from the Kobuk to the Koyuk
and from the Inmachuck to Council.
He crossed from Candle to Dime
creek going over the headwaters of
Buckland and Bear down into the
Koyuk valley, pilotted by -fitandish
O’Sullivan. Dime he says is going
to be a good camp, nay that it is.
They have pay on the first, second
and third tier benches, and this
winter they will work a big lot of
men. They held a meeting in the
roadhouse which he addressed. It is
a strictly eight hour camp and the
men feel very confident. This can
didate takes great pride in his ex
tensive mush, campaigning, and is
especially vain on account of the
number of nigger heads he vanquish
ed in his cross country rambles. He
walked up to Safety after which
they came up from Safety, or at
tempted to, in an auto.
will hold a subordinate command in
Dobrudscha.

Entente Powers to supply a staff of

tinue their attack in the vicinity of

LONDON, Nov. 2.—A dispatch
from the Hague says that all com
ment is suspended on the evacuation
of Fort Vaux in German papers. It
further intimates that it is having
a very depressing effect upon tha
Germans. ,
Here it ‘is taken merely to indi
cate a shortage of men for so ex
tended a front.

most people think.
The convention has been called for
