meeting of the Commercial club laat
sight. The attendance was Urge and
moat representative of the business
Interesta of the city, and till pant
eleven o'clock the beet was the sub
Joct under discussion.
Chairman 8abln of the special
sugar beet committee reported the
progress that had been made, lie
said that all the farmers had be
come deeply In earnest In the cam
paign, and that so far as the actual
signing up of acreage was' concerned
It was now to the point where the
work must be completed In the short
est possible time. The work of In
vestigation had been accomplished,
lie said, and the land owners almost
to a man had bocoiue enthused over
the prospect for the establishment
of a factory.
F. 8. Brarawell urged speed In
completing the acreage campaign. He
aid that the success of the project
demanded that both the farmer and
the promoters of the factory know
within a very brief space of time
whether or not the factory was to
be built In time for the 1916 crop.
He spoke of the extended dry spell
as having been a great advantage In
the proaecutlon of the campaign, as
It had delayed farm work., Now,
"however, with the coming of rain the
farmers would proceed with th
planting of their fall crops upon
lands that would be needed, for beets,
, though the farmer could not be ex
pected to delay planting If he was
dot assured of the building of the
Taotory. For the protection of both
-the farmer and the factory people he
aid the signing up of acreage must
-now be completed.
A score or more of the cltUern
present advanced plane by which the
work oould foe brought to a success
1ul termination. Some wanted ,a
-rigorous campaign, with the naming
of a "Sugar Beet Day," when all
the places of business would close
nd a whirlwind finish put on the
Job. Others wanted very day a
aurar (beet day till the thing was
brought to a climax. The outcome
was,, the 'dividing of the field into
districts and the appointment of a
sub-committee to cover each of these
districts, the entire campaign to be
wound up by Saturday night. Those
districts, with the subcommittees to
complete the work in each, are as

ment last night intended to hint at
a compromise with Germany when

children," be was practically alone.
Ilia speech served to elicit a general
reiteration of the idea that peace is
Impossible until the central allies are
decisively beaten. .
He struck a responsive chord, how
ever, in his criticism of the censor
ship, which more than any other
cause has been blamed for unsatis
factory enlistments 1y minimising
the difficulties of the allies.
In his criticism Lord Loreburn bed
the support of Lord Mllner.
Loreburn asked pointed questions
as to various English expeditions and
particularly the latest venture into
the Balkans. In this be hinted there
had been Insufficient (brain work.
He startled his listeners with the
statement that he had heard 15,000,-
000 men bad been killed or disabled.
He predtcted, tooan European state
of revolution or anarchy should such
attrition continue.
Ills suggestion of anarchy or re
volution In Europe if the war con
tinues to wear down' the nations'
manhood was likewise Interpreted as
a possible overture to Germany.
Lord Courtney, , ln Loreburn's
wske, called the Dardanelles expedi
tion a situation of "Impossible ad
venture," and suggested. In answer
to Premier Asqulth's announcement
that the Germane had gained not a

English wore In the same position.

BRYAN IUY, LEAD

THE WILSON FOLD
1 New York, Nov.- 9.How far
former Secretary of State Bryan will
go in opposing President Wilson's
military preparedness program is giv
ing democratlo leaders concern.
They believe, however, that in a
show-down between the two men the
nation would give Its support, gener
ally, to the chief exocutive.
Yet these leadrs do not under
estimate Brysn's great Influence in
event that an open spilt between him
and the man he made president
should endanger the success of the
domocratlo party.
"There are only two men In the
United States who have really large
personal followlngs," said a domo
crat high In the councils of the party
today. "One is Roosevelt, and the
other Is Bryan. It Is too early to say
whether Bryan intonds to use tho
support he commands In nn out and
out flRht against tho .administration.
But the president has Issued his pro
gram, and he will havo to go through
with It or admit defeat."
Leaders believe the republicans
will not attack the president's pro
gram, as they bollove the country
favors a large navy and army in
crease. '
At the same time, It Is expected
that a certain republican element
will nnte harassing attacks on de
tails of the program while professing
to advocate (better preparedness. .

I (By United Press Leased Wire.)'
I Los Angeles. Nov. 9. In spite of
Its defeat by Oregon, the University
1 of Southern California football team
I today was declared by its backers to
'be the best in the slate.
For 30 minutes, during the entire
first bait yesterday afternoon,- the
Trojans fought Oregon to a stand
still. Neither aide was able to gain
consistently, and neither goal was in
danger at any time.
But in tho second bait Oregon
woke up. The superior weight of
Coach Besdek'a huskies began to tell.
They battered tbe southern line un
mercifully, and the game became an
Oregon parade. Mixing terrific line
attacks with beautiful, long, forward
I passes, tho Oregon machine piled up
34 points while U. S. C, battered and
'exhausted, struggled gamely to the
' last.
! Northern footftall emphatically
has demonstrated its superiority over
tho southern variety. Oregon's
ndoptness at handling long, bullet
like forward pusses was the surprise
of the game. These boat U. S.X.,
and tlve southerners were "hoist with
their own petard." The U. S. C. for
ward passes, when not smeared, wore
good only tor small yardage.
In the closing moments of the con
test U. S. C. became a disorganized
crowd In muddy red sweaters, ban

Washington, Nov. 9. England
and America gradually are moving
toward a deadlock on tbe subject of
British interference with American

yield, it is believed that arbitration
will bo tho next resort., ", " '
Congress' possible"' intervention
may be a serious factor, it was point
ed out. More radical members may
seek legislation aimed at shutting off,
for instance, munitions of war to
the allies, or even going farther and
seeking to cripple them from getting
even more needful supplies of food
and tho like.. :Y; .
The administration, however, does
not favor retaliation through legis
lation, and hopes to bead off any ten
dency in that direction. ?
The Bryan peace treaty, some say,
1b to England's advantage, for Its
"breatning spell" of one year would
give England the opportunity of con
tinuing her .. interference without
trouble before arbitration could be
broached.
