THE . 3IOTIXING OREGOXIAX. TTnXRSDAY, OCTOBER 1Jf?. I t It a s i HANLY TAKES STAID FOR INTERVENTION Prohibition Candidate Urges Mr. Hughes to Announce His Mexican Policy. FIRM COURSE ADVOCATED Methods Employed In Cuba, Haiti . and Santo Domingo Advised. Mr. AVilson Criticised for His i "Watchful Waiting." " EIOUX FALLS. S. D., Oct. 4. Inter vention In Mexico was advocated in an address here today by J. Frank Hanly, the Prohibition candidate for President. Simultaneously he urged Charles E. Hughes to announce what he would do In the. Mexican situation if elected President. Mr. Hanly said that both he and Mr. Hughes had criticised Mr. Wil son's Mexican policy and now that he had announced his attitude, he would like to know that of the Republican Presidential candidate. "I believe Intervention by the Govern ment of the United States is inevitable and if I were elected President and con ditions were as they are now," Mr. Hanly said, "and our present anoma lous relations to Mexican affairs were still existent, I would Intervene prompt ly and decisively Immediately upon my Inauguration and assumption of author ity and pause not until stable and or derly government was established there, and the good name and self-respect of the United States restored. Method Used In Cuba Indorsed. "I w.ould intervene as we have inter vened in Cuba and as we have inter vened in - Haiti and Santo Domingo. Intervene, not in a war of aggression or for our own aggrandizement, either of wealth or of territory, not for con quest or as a cpnqueror, but as a friend and neighbor. "I would do that first making my purpose clear and there would be no vacillation, no hesitancy." 'Preceding his declaration for inter vention, Mr. Hanly said Mr. Wilson had erred in not recognizing Huerta, in sending troops to. Vera Cruz and across the border 4n a. "purposeless man hunt," and in holding them on the border now. " 'Watchful waiting' -under Charles Hughes," Hanly declared, in urging that Mr. Hughes answer him, "would be no better than "watchful waiting" under Woodrow Wilson." Nebraska Gives Real Welcome. Warm welcomes were extended the Prohibition candidates both in South Dakota .and Nebraska today as they worked their way here from Omaha. Both states vote on a dry amendment this year and hopes are entertained by the Prohibitionists that .they will win two victories. In South' Dakota, how ever, the proposed amendment is cou pled with others, including woman suf frage, and this situation, it is thought, may delay its adoption. One of the best meetings today was held at Wayne, Neb., where an Im mense tabernacle was filled at noon to hear the candidates. Hundreds of school children stood at one -point with both hands above their beads, signalizing their desire for "a dry Nebraska In 1918." At Norfolk, Neb., a man shouted to Ira Landrith, the Vice-Presidential can didate, in the course of his remarks: "That's a lie; go back to Iowa, where you belong." Landrith did not hear him. WAR IDEAJS SPURNED Continued Prom First Page.) outweigh greatly the disadvantages, but ' it is impossible that the greater part of the rest of the world should continue indefinitely in the present un natural and chaotic condition without America suffering also. . "We in Sweden are suffering, and have been suffering, these disadvan tages almost from the start. You are familiar with the manner in which we are requested to limit our Imports to certain quantities - of certain wares. These quantities are fixed on a basis of the average consumption of the past year, and no consideration is given to the fact that our needs might properly increase or change otherwise, nor to the fact that we cannot consent to any limitation menacing our Industrial de velopment in the- future. Upon what. In what manner, is our proper indus trial development to proceed if we are held to- supplies of materials more or less arbitrarily fixed and, at all events. Inadequate? - Considerations Are Domestic. ' "As 1 have already said, no action taken by us in respect of these things is any way dictated by foreign consid erations, nor by sympathy for one or the other belligerents. We are alone concerned about the future indepen dence and economic development of our country and we cannot go so far in avoiding the present - inconveniences placed upon us from ' without that it would endanger either this indepen dence or development. " "Restrictions which are felt in com paratively small measure by the great America can strike at our very vitals. We are convinced that in our situation the Americans, who appreciate as much as we d,o the independence of a coun try and the legal right of Its citizens, would feel and act exactly as we do." After remarking on the impossibility of Sweden's offering mediation and re ferring to America's steps to secure ob servance of the rules of international law, the Minister said: , "America is In the fortunate position mat she is the greatest or all neutrals far removed from the strife and with great resources.- She- really does not need to be greatly concerned about whether this or that step does make her' unpopular with the one or . the other belligerent. Premier ' Hammarskjold dismissed lightly the whole crop of rumors which spring up from time to time to the erfect that Sweden is on the point of joining In the war and dozens of simi lar tales. When asked for an explana tion of these rumors, he replied clearly '"Neurasthenia, or intentions' that I don't know. '- Corpse Breaks Alan's Legs. MEMPHIS. Ttnn., Oct. 4.

LONDON. Oct 4 An official state ment issued here today gives de tails of the fighting on the Somme front, after the advance of September 15, describing the capture of villages, including Combles. Gueuedecourt and Thiepval, and proceeds: "These victories brought our front line at more than one point within a mile of German fourth position west of the Bapaurae-Transloy road." The statement continues: "The enemy has. fought stubbornly to check our advance, and since Septem ber 15 seven new divisions have been brought against us and five against the French. The severe and prolonged struggle on the part of our troops de manded very great determination and courage. "At the end of September the situa tion may be summarized as follows: "Since the opening of the battle on July 1 we have taken 26,735 prisoners and engaged 88 German divisions, of which 29 (about 350,000 men) have been withdrawn exhausted or broken. We hold the half-moon upland south of the Anore, and every height of importance. and so have direct observation ground to the east and northeast. The enemy has fallen back upon a fourth line be hind a low ridge just west of the Bapaume-Transloy road. "The importance of the three months offensive is not to be Judged by the distance advanced or the number of enemy trench lines taken. It must be looked for in the effect upon the enemy's strength in numbers, material and morale. The enemy has used up his reserves in repeated, co6tly and un successful counter attacks without causing our allies or ourselves to re lax our steady,- methodical pressure. "In this action troops from every part of the British Empire and British Islands have been engaged. All be haved with the discipline and realiza tion of veterans. Our aircraft have shown in the highest degree the spirit of the offensive. They have patrolled tegularly far behind the enemy's lines and have fought many battles in the air with hostile machines and many with enemy troops on the ground. For every enemy machine that succeeds in crossing our front it Is safe to say 200 British machines cross the enemy's front." Roumanian. BUCHAREST, Oct. 4. Following Is today's official Roumanian report: "On the northern and western fronts, in the Ivallman and Ghurghiul moun tains, small engagements occurred.

We took 800 Germans pris oner and captured eight machine guns. "In the mountains west of the River Alt we made progress. "In the Jlul- Valley our troops have been slightly withdrawn by reason of the violent attacks of the enemy. Be fore falling back they destroyed the coal mines of Petroseny. "On the southern fronts, in Dobrudja, in spite of the stubborn resistance of the enemy and the violent fire of his heavy artillery, our attack continues to make sroxresi in the center. On our left wing we conquered a position at Amzacea, where we tooK seven guns, more than 1000 prisoners and much material. Russian. PBTROGRAD, Oct. 4.

WARSHIPS CONVOYED BY AMERICAN NAVAL VESSELS WHEN THEY CHANGE PORTS. PRESTIGE HELD LOST International Lawi Authority .-.Scores Foreign Policy. MANY WAR ACTS CHARGED Wilson Administration - Has Pro voked Dangerous Situations on Two Separate Occasions, Says David Jayne Hill. NEW YORK, Oct. 4. (Special.) The Republican National Committee issued today a pamphlet prepared by Dr. David Janye Hill, ex-Assistant Secre tary of fetate and ex -Ambassador to Germany, based on articles written by I Dr. Hill for a magazine. Dr. Hill Is one of the foremost American authori ties on international law and diplo matic procedure. The pamphlet will receive wide circulation. Referring to the statement so often made by supporters of -President Wil son that "he has kept us out of war," Dr. Hill remarks that "peace, without doubt is one of our most cherished ideals, but no one will contend that peace that has' not been disturbed by threats is anything to boast about." Dr. Hill then asks by whom and when and how we have been threatened with war. And, after calling atten tion to the fact that no nation has de sired to declare war on us, he charges that "upon two separate occasions, neither of which demanded warlike action, the Administration has provoked a dangerous situation and has com mitted every act characteristic of war. including the Invasion of foreign ter ritory and the destruction of innocent lives." Referring to the extraordinary peace treaties negotiated by William. J. Bryan when he was Secretary of State, Dr. Hill says that their result was to pledge the United States "not to resent actively any insult, injury or humilia tion that any one of the aanerents to this agreement might for any reason offer, and to rest content with making only a verbal protest until an entire year had elapsed." N The result of this. Dr. Hill says, was, was that "the moral and advisory in fluence of the United States was seri ously impaired,- for, with the certainty that immediate action by our Govern ment was out of question, the advice of the United States no longer possessed any international value. "Before the Administration was a year old," says Dr. Hill. "It was evident that the prestige of this Government, which previously had taken the initia tive in great war crisis and had been able to promote peace between great powers, no longer existed."
