LLOYD GEORGE SAYS ALLIES ARE
AIDING ROUMANIANS EO UIMOSI
ft
BRITAIN WANTS MORE MEN
LONDON. Oct. 13.—In the house of commons today
Lloyd George, minister of munitions and war, declared
that Great Britain must have more men and that it is
clear now that victory can be gained only after a long
tight. He saiil the exemptions from military service in
Great Britain amounted to millions and that it will prob
ably be necessary to compel the greater part of those to
serve in spite of previous exemption. Alter his state
iTieiit John Dillon, one of the Irish Nationalist members,
complained that the allies were leaving Koumania to Its
fate as Serbia and Belgium had been left and that Kou
mania would be crushed because of failure on the part of
her allies to support her properly. To this George an
swered that the allied nations are supporting Koumanta
to the utmost under the conditions.
VENIZELOS SPEAKS
LONDON, Oct. 13—Venizelos has given out an inter
view at Saloniki in which he declares that he plans the
mobilization of the Greek army in .Macedonia and will ig
nore King Constantine entirely in every act. He asserts
that in September, lblo, he urged the king to fulfill the
treaty with Serbia but he refused and “now Greece is dis
honored," said the former premier. Venizelos, however,
says Greece will redeem herself through the provisional
government.
SHAPE NEW GREEK GOVERNMENT
LONDON, Oct. 13.—Saloniki reports say that Gener
al Zumbrakatis, a supporter of the allied cause, has been
named as minister of war in the provisional government
which is being shaped out by \ enizelos and his friends.
Some of the papers here say that Greece would probably
have been in the war before this had it not been for the
reverses to the Roumanians. It is expected, however,
that once the provisional government is established a
Greek armv of some kind will take the field.

REPORTS SUBMARINE
NEWPORT, Oct. 13—Eleven United States destroy
ers are now patrolling the coast from Bar Harbor to New
York. Admiral G leaves* flagship, the Birmingham, is di
recting the partol. The British steamer Bovic which ar
rived today reports sighting an unidentified submarine
two hundred miles east of New York. It is believed to be
the U-f>3 and it might be on the way home.
SEEK SUB. BASE ON U. S. COAST
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—Admiral Mayo has order
ed out United States destroyers to seek a hidden sub
marine base of the belligerent nations on the coast of the
United States. The search will extend especially along
the coast of Maine. Secretary of the Navy Daniels was
interviewed this afternoon for an expression of opinion
on the matter and he said there is no reason to believe
that there is a submarine base on this coast but the search
is intended as a precaution. It is rumored that the British
naval authorities have hinted that such a base exists.
BIG SHIPS VENTURE OUT
NEW YORK, Oct. 13—The liner Adriatic sailed for
Liverpool last night with lights out and lifeboats ready
for instant use if the ship is torpedoed by a German sub
marine. She has four American passengers and will be
convoved bv British and French cruisers but the convoy
has not been sighted although it is assumed that their lo
cation was known to the Adriatic before she set sail. She
has eighteen thousand tons of war munitions for the Al
lies and her sinking would be most desirable for the Ger
mans, so the danger is regarded as great. She also has
three hundred passengers. She is taking a course chosen
to escape the notice of submarines. The Danish steamer
Heligolav with a hundred passengers also sailed but was
more venturesome and struck out on an easterly course.
It is supposed that both can get away many miles in dark
ness and be far beyond any lurking submarine before day
light breaks. k j

The first cur ever to come over the
government railroad from Anchorage

Thyssen, a coal and iron magnate and a leader in German

in future.'

Wilson Roasts
Hughes Badly
President Makes First Attack and
Calls Opponent Ignorant.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 13.—Presi
dent Wilson delivered a severe attack
on Hughes here while speaking to the
crowds that greeted him when he
came to be present at the Centennial,
and another remarkable fact was that
the crowd cheered him to the echo.
He condemned Hughes or any other
man who tried to revive sectionalism
in this country. Such a man, the
speaker declared, is unworthy of the
confidence of the nation and betrays
provincialism and ignorance. As the
President warmed up he went even
further and said such a man is in
politics as an office seeker and not for
the nation’s service. .Mr. Wilson even
went on to describe such a man as des
picable. Then came the great mo
ment of the speech: “My policy is to
put up or shut up cried the rresuient
“and I am willing to take my own
medicine.” At this the audience
jumped to its feet and cheered for
exactly four minutes. In the other
parts of his speech Mr. Wilson said
that the New Nationalism demands
unity, mobilization, co-ordination and
chiefly co-operation. He later declar
ed that he came to talk of good loads
and not of politics and he emphasized
the material and spirtual values of the
establishment of traversible highways
throughout the country.
Hughes Speaks At
last Of Lusitania
LOUISVILLE, Oct. 1.°..—Hughes
spoke of the Lusitania here today for
the tirst time in the campaign and
evidently the statement was meant as
an answer to Wilson. He declared
that he would have first organized a
state department that would have
commanded the respect of the world
and enforced strict accountability,
and then, he said, the attack on the
Lusitania could not have occurred.
The crowd cheered the statement.

MARSHALL WANTS TO
HEAR HCGHFS SFGGEST
TOPEKA, Oct. 12.—Vice President
Marshall became very ironic last
evening in a speech when he dealt
with the critisms by Judge Hughes
of the present administration. "1
am very anxious to know,” said the
vice-president “what course Mr.
Hughes would have followed in recent
events. He has told us that every
course followed by President W ilson
was the wrong one but why has he
not pointed out even one right one?”
FAIRBANKS SAYS GOOD
TIMES MADE BY BLOOD
HELENA, Oct. 12.—Fairbanks ad
