GERARD SAYS’HUNS
HAVE EYE ON NEXT
AMERICAN ELECTION
WASHINGTON. Oct. 30—That Ger
many would misinterpret a Republican
victory in the coming elections, was the
claim of ex-Anibassador Gerard in a
statement through the Democratic na
tional, committee today.
“I Rnow.” he wrote, “that Germans
cannot understand our political sys
tem; that if a congress opposed to the
president is elected they will believe
again what th»y belie\ed before we i
dared to war with them, that there is I
in the United States a great number ot !
people favorable to the German cause |
and opposed to the president and to i
war. And encouraged b/ this belief, the !
military resistance of the people will
again i tiffen and the favorable moment
for the allies may pass.
“I am so sure of this that w-ere I
opposed to every other policy of the
president and were he my bitterest
enemy. I should nevertheless beg the
American people to support him at this
fateful moment."
At the same time the committee made
public a letter to Senator Lodge from
ex-Senator Hansbrough. former Nortn
Dakota Republican, saying he could nob
escape the conclusion that the minority
campaign “really amounts to” a scheme
“deliberately intended to counteract the
great democratic movement now going
on in the world.”

The Belleu wood positions in that

clean sweep across the valley to the
Mezieres-Sedan-Longuyoh railway, and
the enemy will be forced to retire be
hind that line.

and an advance across the valley the

the longer advance to Mezieres (28

The Germans opened a heavy bom
bardment of the American lines east
or the Meuse today, but their counter
attacks had not been renewed up to the
hour of cabling.
Enemy aviators are unusually active
on tT.e trout of the Second army in the
Woevre region, where the artillery light
ing is normal.
Deserters insist that the Germans are
removing their artillery to the rear and
that there is a considerable movement
Pt all kinds of material throughout the
Lorraine region.
Other deserters claim the Germans
are bolding Austro-Hungarian soldiers,
in the front line as “hostages” and a
guarantee against a separate peace, in
the meantime withdrawing the German
Hoops.
Three Boche planes were brought
down today when thirteen attacked eight
American machines.
Bltective French Add
While the Americans are gnawing
away east of the Meuse, they are ex
erting »qual pressure along the heights
of the Aire valley, beyond Grand Pre.
Here the French, on the left, are play
ing a most important role, pushing on
beyo.id Vouziers and starting formation
vs a salient, with the American left
as a peak. The Germans, however, are
protected Ir. this movement by a con
tinual ten ol the heights over which the
Americans must fight by ;nenes.
The weather is greatly improved and
there is increasing activity eveiy
where. Heavy German artillery fire oi
the front of the American second army
(east of Verdun) is revealing the en
emy's uneasiness regarding the safety
of the Briey iron fields, just as it is
their desperation to hold the Meuse
line. Efficiency of the Briey district
will also be affected by the big gun
bombardment of the Longuyon railway,
this 'being the direct line over which
the product is hauled back.
Shooting 25 Miles
The guns which are tiring on the
Montmedy-Longuyon railway are shoot
ing twenty-five miles. (This shows the.
guns are emplaced from five to ten I
miles behind the American lines, as the
battle front is about fifteen to twenty
miles from this line.) These are much |
biger caliber than the Boche guns which I
fired o® Paris. (The German guns were
nine-inch. The American guns, it has.
been announced, are sixteen-inch.)
The big guns made a big hit with the
French, who first served them in the
St. Quentin and Laon regions. The lat
ter point was completely smashed by
them, as were all the enemy railways
leading from that town.
Guns of almost similar caliber next
appeared at the St. Mihiel salient, where
they fired on the Metz region. Descrip
tion of these guns is prohibited, for
military reasons, aside from the fact
they are transported by railway. The
guns are of such size that the French
despaired of the Americans ever getting
them to the front. All the accompany
ing equipment is entirely American. The
monsters were brought over lashed to
the decks of ships.
Hit Boche at Vital Point
The bombardment of the Mezieres-
Sedan-Longuyon railway is the most
’serious de'elopment the Boche has yet
faced, as this line serves for switching
purposes for troops from cast to west
and is also the main line for supplies.
It is the stem of the bottle neck which
the Boche must keep open. Breaking
of the line means breaking of the con
nection between the armies of the east
and west, qxcept by an almost Impossi
ble circuitous route.
The commander of the American guns
is the biggest peace spokesman on
the west front. He is a monarch when
It comes to consideration of his pets.
In one instance, when he was noti
fied that the French intended to move
his monsters at a certain hour, he
drove the zXmerican engines and cars
out on the line regardless of other
traffic which was immediately cleared
to permit him to pass.
All questions of whether the guns
could pass through certain tunnels and
whose jurisdiction they would come
under were swept aside by the com
mander with the statement that he
had to go through the tunnels and
was not looking for proper jurisdic
tion. but targets.
The cars of the gun train carry
complete equipment, down to food and
clothing, as well as the giant shells
which are hurled over the hills at the
Boche.

(SENATOR SMITH
ANSWERS ATTACK
ON COTTON GROWER
BY THEODORE TIX>I>KB.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 29. —Answering
I Republican criticism of the admlnistra
l tion. Senator Hoke Smith delivered a
comprehensive speech on the cotton sit
uation in the senate late Monday atter
oon. The Georgia senator answered
specifically that portion ot the Lodge-
Smoot statement which claimed that
( the Democratic administration hud lixfcd
tile price of wheat but “had left cotton
untouched.”
Senator Smith aptly demonstrated
that the government had not lixed a
price on wheat, but had guaranteed a
minimum price for that grain, vitally
needed by the allied armies. He showed
that the several statements ot the war
industries board regarding the “stabili
zation’’ of cutton prices, and the ap
pointments of committees on distribu
tion and investigation of the cotton sit
uation, had caused a great drop in
prices, which los*s was sustained by the
southern cotton farmer.
This, Senator Smith said, aid not bear
out Republican chaiges that cotton had
been “untouched’’ by the government.
“if the war industries board and their
committees succeed in maintaining the
present depression in the price ot’ cot
ton," said Senator Smith. “Tney will
make a present of $225,000,000 to the
foreign cotton manufacturers, but they
will take the present from our own
farmers."
Increased Production Costs
The Georgia senator referred to the
great increase in the cost of producing
the cotton crop, an increase out of pro
portion to that involved in the produc
tion of other crops and touching labor,
fertilizers and farm implements.
“The best information 1 can get from
Georgia,” said Senator Smith. “Is that
the crop of this year cost, wherever la
bor w:is employed, for wages, from 30
to 37 1-2 cents per pound. Many well
informed men in the cotton section in-,
sist the average cost of this crop has
been between 35 and 40 cents.
“The laVor to produce wheat was fair
ly well paid before the war, and the de
mand for higher-priced labor did not in
crease the cost of labor on the wheat
farm as it did on the cotton farm. The
wheat crop was a normal crop; the cot
ton crop was four million bales less than
the planted acreage should have pro
duced.
“Goods manufactured from cotton are
selling at an average of three times
more than the prices before the war.”
"One-halt ol our cotton is shipped
abroad and handled by loreign niu.au
tacturers. Ynat manufactured neie is
consumed about one-nait uy nulls in
states v.neie cotton is grown and tne
other hull by mills elsewhere m this
country. T-o force down the price c!
lint cotton without forcing down the
price oi the products manufactured
num tne lint cotton wuuiu be simply
io make a gift of the amount taken
from the selling price, divided among
the manufacturers here and in foreign
countries, our Republican friends mignt
have suggested price-fixing on tne man
ufactured product. If price-tixing were
legal and resorted to lor the benefit of
the people, it is necessary that it be
attached to the manufactured cotton
product. Mere price-tixing on lint cotton
would not help the great consuming
public. Senator Smith demonstrated
that while manufactured cotton goods
are bringing three times the pre-war
prices, lint cotton is not selling for
three times its price before the war.
The manufacturer, he estimated, could
make money on cotton goods should he
pay forty cents per pound under pres
ent conditions.’
“The government has guaranteed the
wheat price,” continued Senator Smith.
“It has not undertaken to fix a price on
corn, the greatest agricultural product
of this country; it has not undertaken
to fix a price of hay, one of the chief
products. The Republican manifesto
should not have made a sectional attack
upon the cotton grower.’!
Prices Sent Tumbling
Senator aniftli read into tne record
the several statements issued by the
war industries board tu September,
“rnese statements, hinting al arbiuai>
ptice-lixing-—although, as Senatci smith
showed there was no legislative author
ity lor ii—kent cotton prices ttunbimg.
He went exnauslively into the powre
lessness of either congiess or tne ad
ministrative branch to dictate the price
at which one person siiaJl sell his prod
uct to another. ft is possible, Sena
tor Smith said, to commandeer for gov
ernment use and to agree on prices
through the courts, or to guarantee a
minimum price as in the case ol wneat.
He challenged, however, any authority
to force a sale of cotton at a certain
price.
“No power is vested in our govern
ment," he said, “to fix a price at. which
one citizen must dispose of his proper
ty to another citizen.” The minimum
price guaranteed for wheat, he argued,
was more than twice the price at which
wheat sold before the war.
Referring to the several statements
of the war industries board, Senator
Smith continued: “During early Sep
tember cotton was selling from 38 to
39 cents per pound. It was apparent
that under the legitimate laws of sup
ply and demand, with proper recogni
tion of production cost, and the proba
ble cost and size of next year’s crop cot
ton would easily have sold for forty
cents. It has been forced down from
this price by eight cents. What has
done it? This fall in price is clearly
attributable, whether intended or not,
to the action of the administration
taken through the war industries board.”
Senator Smith said it was apparent
then that the administration “had
touched” cotton, Republican claims not
withstanding, and the loss to cotton
growers was about $450,000,000.
After further reference to the ac
tion of the war industries board. Sena
tor Smith added: “As a result of this
action by the administration, cotton
has been hammered down eight cents
a pound below the price at which it
was selling the first of September. If
the present price is maintained, the
loss to the cotton growers, as a result
of this “touching” would be $450,(i'i0,0(»0
I submit in all kindness this procedure
should not have taken place. These
in charge should still seek to rect'fy
the mistake they have made.”
The statements of the war industries
board submitted by Senator Smttn in
cluded all from the original statement
regarding the necessity of a “stalflli
zntion of prices,” to the final statement
saying there would be no arbitrary
price-fixing attempted now.
Scores Foe’s Treatment
Os Prisoners of War
LONDON, Oct. 30. (British Wireless
Service.)—Germany has flagrantly brok
en the rules of international law in
her treatment of British prisoners of
war, declared Sir George Cave, the
British home secretary, in discussing
the question of prisoners of war in the
house of commons yesterday. Some of
the German internment camps, he said,
were reasonably well organized, but
there were other camps where condi
tions were almost unspeakable and
where inhuman treatment almost past
belief went on.
These things were going on today and
the evidence the government had ob
tained from lately returned prisoners
was very much on the same lines as
previously. Working parties of British
prisoners were beaten. tortured and
made to work when they were ill. Ev
erything was done to break their spirit,
but. Sir George added, the enemy had
failed in most eases.
Sir George believed that if any armi
stice with either Germany or Austria-
Hungary "Were reached the government
would take steps to see that one of the
primary conditions would be that all
nrisoners of war in enemy countries
would be immediately and unconditional
ly released. He added:
“It will do no -rood to talk to the peo
nle who do those things. We have
-ot to take them by the neck and throat
:r -vo can. and punish them so that it
’ ■ in example for generations to
come. • ■

PRESIDENT WILSON
MAY SIT AT GREAT
PEACE CONFERENCE
WASHINGTON. Oct. 30.- That Presi
: dent Wilson will attend the great peace’
• conference wherever and whenever it is
i held is the belief of his friends here.
For some days the report, without
official confirmation as yet, has been
. circulating in official and . diplomatic
quarters that the president will attend.
There is nothing to prevent it, the
constitution making no stipulation
I against the president lea ving his coun
k try, and precedent alone has guided the
action of former executives.
[ President Wilson has broken many
t precedents.
By those who believe he will go it is
pointed out t lat such action would serve
! to climax his efforts for his kind of
. a peace, "based on justice to all.”
Owing to his high position, it was
stated at allied embassies today, he
doubtlessly would be made chairman of
the peace conference, if he goes.
; Should the war go on for years, as is
. possible, the president’s r» ported desires
might be altered, of course.
Should he go,, the constitution pro
vides that during tlft period of his ab
sence, the vice president would direct,
the legislative work of the White
i House. It would be the first time in
the history of the nation that a presi
dent had visited Europe -if the confer
ence is held there—while in office. Col
onel Roosevelt, however, went to Pan
ama while president.
Report of the president’s possible
course in this found particular sym
pathy among diplomats of the smaller
countries here who have enthusiastically
applauded his course toward Austria and
his expressions on the rights of small
nations.
Incidentally this new gossip added
zest to discussion here because of the
president’s known conviction that the
doors of the peace conclave should be
swung wide to the public and all cove
nants should be arrived at openly.

LOWERGRADESOF
COTTON TO BE USED
FOR WAR GOODS
BY THEODORE TIT.LEB,
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Oct. 29.—Gov
ernment agencies today took the first
positive steps toward a greater utiliza
tion of the lower grades of cotton. The
concession is an important one to south
ern farmers who have had difficulty in
disposing of the grades below middling
because of the contract requirements
giving preference to the higher grades.
Both the army and navy now notify
manufacturers of cotton fabrics that
because of the existing emergency, man
ufactured products hereafter will not
be judged by the grade ot cotton used
but will be tested as to tensile strength
servicability and suitability for govern
ment uses.
The cotton distribution committee an
nounces an agreement among represen
tatives of the army, navy, war indus
tries board and the war service com
mittee of the Cotton Manufacturers’ as
sociation for use of lower grade cotton.
This agreement is approved by both
the war and navy secretaries and reads:
1. That many manufacturers of
yarns, duck and other fabrics for the
government are using a higher grade or
quality of raw cotton In the production
of such goods than is necessary to meet
government or civilian requirements.
2. That it is the desire of the army
and navy and spinning interests to co
operate with the committee on cotton
distribution in its effort to accomplish
the purpose for which it was set up.
3. That all manufacturers of goods i
for the government be notified that in
view of the existing, emergency the army ,
and navy agree that raw cotton of no
higher grade or quality than necessary
should be used in the production of such 1
goods; that goods will not be judged by f
the grade or quality of the raw cotton, ■
but that the sole test will be whether
the product itself comes within con- ;
tract requirements as to strength and ■
serviceability and suitability for pur- !
poses intended.
4. That manufacturers of goods for
civilian trade be required to use the
same or lower grade or quality of raw
cotton as that used in the production

Tonight! Take Dodson’s Liver Tone!
Better Than Calomel For Liver
—————
Calomel sickens ! If bilious, constipated and head
achy read my guarantee.
Listen to me! ’lake no more sickcu- i
Ing, salivating calomel when bilious or
constipated. Don’t lose a day’s work!
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver,
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calofnel, when it comes into contact
with sour bile, crashes into it, breaking
it up. This is when you feel that awtul
nausea and cramping. If you are slug
gish and “all knocked out,” if your
liver is torpid and bowels constipated
or you have headache, dizziness, coated
tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour
just take a spoonful of harmless Dod
son's Liver Tone
Here’s my guarantee—Go to’any drug
store and get a bottle of Dodson’s Liver
Tone for a few cents. Take a spoonful

OVERWHELMING
DEFEAT FACED BY
AUSTRIAN ARMY
ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS ON THE ■
PIAVE. Tuesday, Oct. 29.—(8y the As
sociated Press.)— Austrian forces are
retreating under ever-increasing pres
sure and it is felt the attack against the
enemy will become overwhelming as
soon as the entire allied force can enter
the action.
With three successive days of fair
weather an extremely large body of
troops, with supplies, has crossed the
pontoons over the Piave. It is expect
ed the Austrian munition supply will
give out. There are indications tne ene
my’s heavy artillery is being withdrawn
in an effort to save the big guns.
The latest reports show the Austrians
retreating steadily to save themselves
in the Piave district, where 150 guns
and a thousand additional prisoners
were captured today.
King Victor Emmanuel visited the re
conquered territory today. The corre
spondent saw him helping to straighten
out traffic on a crowded road over which
Italian troops and thousands ot Aus
trian prisoners were passing.
The Italians cheered the king, who ,
. smiled and shook hands with tfie Italian
I soldiers nearest him.
; More than 20,000 prisoners have beer
I captured since the attack began.
