but also those of the allied countries
whose interests have been confided to
them; the American consular officers tn
Belgium, and especially in Antwerp,
have exposed themselves to great per
sonal danger and discomfort during the
vast military- operations which have
marked the German conquest, of Brus
sels and Antwerp.
Advices to the State Department to
day show tha.t Henry W. Diederich, the
American Consul-General at Antwerp,
with his family fled from the city only
after the bombardment had actually
begun, . while Harry Tuck Sherman,
Vice-Consul, delayed his departure with
his family so long that they suffered
terrible privations and personal danger
in getting to a place of safety. Even
now they are without money and in an
uncomfortable situation.
Hugh Gibson, the young secretary of
the legation at Brussels, has volun
tarily, in the absence of other means of
communication, made himself a per
sonal messenger for Brand Whitlock,
the American Minister to Belgium, be
tween Antwerp and Brussels and Lon
don. He has been obliged to pass re
peatedly through the military lines of
the belligerents at great, personal risk,

the people do not take him .seriously.
Letters received at the headquarters
advise the committee to look after that
section where Mr. Hawley's opponent
is not known and not the place where
he is known. J
Nempapcn Defead Mr." Hawley.
Newspapers all over the First dis
trict have realized the character of the
campaign being conducted against Mr.
Hawley during his absence from the
state, and first one and then another.!
have expressed their disapproval.
Among the last to do this is F. M.
Brown. editor of the Brownsville
Times, who has the following editorial
in his issue of the ninth instant:
'The activity of the political enemies
of Congressman W. C. Hawley in cir
culating defamatory literature broad
cast over his district has caused his
friends to begin a campaign of educa
tion, giving his record in the halls of
Congress. Mr. Hawley's record is one
to be proud of and his political op
ponents will not be able to accomplish
anything in behalf of their candidate
by attempting to defame him wniie ne
is not in the state to defend himself."
Hundreds of letters have been re
ceived by the committee and without"
exception they, predict an overwhelm
ing victory for Representative Hawley
over his unknown, unreliable opponent.
A number of the letters are from Dem
ocrats of long standing.

'MARCH WITH GOD' KAISER
Cadets Ordered to Pin Faith to Cre
ator and "Keep Cool."
BEKUJf, Oct. 12. The Kaiser's ad
dress to the cadets ordered to the field.
which is now published in the 'Kreua
Zeitung. was as follows:
"Cadets! Already in your earlier
youth I send you out to my regiments
to fight against the enemy as guide
at the head of my brave troops. You
shall take with you to the army all the
moral Qualities which have been im
planted into your young hearts in the
Corps of Cadets.
"Be regardless in your bravery, keep
your blood cold, your head clear in
hard times and your heart high, and
have faith in God! Then you will lead
my troops to victory.
"I need not recall the historic In
stances of the valor of your corps. 'You
have learned them all. At any rate,
should the Lord grant us victory, I ask
of you that you do not forget the song
of Leutlien. Now march with God.
Adieu, cadets."

"WASHINGTON. Oct. 12. A general
Republican assault on the Democratic
Administration and its policies with
particular reference to the pending
war revenue bill was made in the
Senate today, wnile Democratic leaders
devoted their efforts to smoothing the
way for early adjournment of Con
gress.
Senators Smoot, Burton, Borah ana
Smith of Micnigan vigorously as
sailed Democratic legislation and
Democratic administrative . policies.
declaring that the $100,000,000 addi-
lonal taxation now proposed was
made necessary by Democratic
blunders. They went into detail in
their criticisms of Democratic ex
travagance In appropriations, providing
ammunition for the Fall campaigns.
Silence on the Democratic side
greeted the outburst. Democratic
leaders planned to allow the KepuBU
cans to have their say, then pass the
tax bill and adjourn. senator Sim
mons, however, made a brief reply to
attacks on the Democratic tariff.
The demand of Southern members of
Congress for legislation to relieve the
cotton situation loomed up as a pos
sible bar to early adjournment. Senator
Overman, of North Carolina, declined
to allow the Senate to agree that the
tax bill be voted on Thursday, assert
ing that something must be done about
cotton. It is expected the Southerners
will be satisfied if a vote is taken on
an amendment to the bill designed to
aid the cotton states and that this
will be done.
Senator Smoot, opening the Republi
can attack on the tax bill, declared no
additional levy would have been neces
sary if the protective tariff had re
mained in lorce. He said tnat tne
plea that the European war made the
tax necessary "was a snameiui pre

AMERICAN ENVOYS SUFFER
War About Brussels and Antwerp
Causes Discomfort and Danger.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. In their seal
to protect not only .American citizens,
the reports that are reaching1 the
headquarters of the Republican Con
gressional Committee.
The Democratic opponent of Mr.
Hawley seemed to think the people
of Oregon were easily hoodwinked
and he began his campaign by circu
lating an unsigned printed statement
that the Representative had only pro
cured favorable action on four of h'is
bills during his service in Congress.
Most any person In the district knew
of many times that number and even
during the present session the num
ber had been doubled.
His next move was to accuse Mr.
Hawley of using a "Jimmy" to get i
things through Congress. His first con- I
tention was that the Representative
had done nothing and when be fell ;
down on that, he next resorted to his
favorite language, that of a burglar
or outlaw and accused the Represen
tative of using a 'jimmy" in getting
things through Congress. Needless to
say, his two contentions are contra
dictory and show that he lacks con
sistency, even when trying to make
out a bad case against a good man.
"Jimmy" Is Able Argumenut.
"The "jimmy" used by Mr. Hawley in
procuring more than $5,000,000 for the
improvement of the public waterways
of the First District was not the tool
of the burglar, but the able argument
and' presentation of a man who is
known to be accurate and reliable.
This fact was attested when Repre
sentative Booher, of the committee on
rivers and harbors, who is a Missourian
of the opposite political faith from, Mr.
Hawley, made the statement that the
Oregon Representative knew more
about the waterways in his district and
made a more able presentation than
any other representative appearing
before the committee.
In Coos County, where the opponent
of Mr. Hawley has resided a short
time, since moving there from Georgia,
