President Wilson addressed it delci;si
lion il' funnel's, architects ami engin
eers at Shadow I.awii today. He de
clared the farmers of the country had

ministrations. Speaking of the tariff, lie attacked
the republican party us the party of
special interests.
President Wilson declared he did
not expect the I'nited States to net
into war, because he did nut expect
the men criticism;,' hiiu to get into
power.
"I am not expecting this nation to
pet into war," said the president,
"pnrtly because "I am not expecting
these gentlemen who are criticising
lue to jjet in a position to make a
niess of il.
Lossons of War.
"One of the. great lessons of the
Kui'iipcuu war is that the economic
mobilization of the resources of a na
tion are just as important as I he
military mobilization," said the pres
ident. 'I am jrlrtd the campaign is nearly
over," lie continued. "I am in a hurry
tu get down to business again. A lot
of irresponsible talk is going around.
"Men are saying things they know are
not true. On the 7th of November we
call lime. Let us sober up.
"We are putting men through the
"third degree as to whether they (piiil
'jfy as sfftiuijie Atnrrjcnns,'' Miv. Wil
son asserted. "We are doing this be
cause in the future Ihe connection of
the United States with the rest of the
world is to be incomparably closer."

in pushing their lines north at the
'village of lirod inflicting considerable
'losses on the Bulgarians in the cap

according to today's statement by the
Serbian war office, which reads:
"On the evening of October 19 In
the Cerna river sector General Mlschl
ach's army advanced successfully in
the direction of Haldcutsi village,
northwest of Itrod. We took four
field guns, one trench mortar, sevett

of the Canadian I'ncific railway
and representatives of the conduc
tors and trainmen, who threaten to
strike next Wednesday unless certain
concessions in the way of "working
hours and wages arc made, today
marked time while Hon. T. W. Troth
el's, minister of labor, considered the
railroad's recucst for the appointment
of a hoard of conciliation to investi
gate the dispute.
Hrothcrhood leaders do not favor
the pnpointment of a board, pointing
out that the points now at i--uc were
reviewed bv a board in 1914 and that
the mn.joritv decision was adver-e to
the trainmen's claims. Resumption of
negotiations here is unlikely.

IS NEXT SURPRISE
Armada of Air Dreadnaughts Being
Built by Allies for Grand Smash at
German - Lines In France Most
Spectacular. War Development in
History.
PARIS, France, Oct. 21. An ar
mada of air-dreaunaughts Is being
built by the allies for a grand smash
at the German lines In France a
new war development that will be the
most spectacular in history!
Great aerial cruisers with six, eight
or ten engines, nnd three or more
shifts of aviators, capable of remain
ing aloft for days at a time, will at
tack German formications in railways
in the most stupendous aerial raids
the brain of man ever have con
ceived! Ail- to Decide Win-.
Great speed and enormous titling
power will be developed, the speed
idea being ill accordance with the
advice which Clnude Graham-White
has given the British public since
early in the war.
"The war will be decided 111 the
clouds not on the ground or under
sea!"
These are the words of a well
known Fronch deputy, an authority
on military aviation. "Even as Ger
many lias' threatened with her U
boals, Britain's supremacy at sea, so
will the allies with their newer,
greater air squadron, shatter Ger
many's continental defenses. ,
"Look to the air for the war's next
great sensation!"
Amazing are the developments of
aircraft even during the 27 months
of war. Aerial battles over the lines
In northern Franco are so common
now they are no longer mentioned in
cable dispatches, unless some remark,
able feat is accomplished.
20,000 Aislllps.
In September there wero 81 air
battles nearly three a day.
In two instances British aeroplanes
have foughc and wrecked German
submarines. A "sub" has no weapon
against the flying warriors.
Twenty thousand aeroplanes. It Is
known, are being prepared to ward
off future Zeppelin attacks on Brit
ain, but this is a small part of the
allies' air program.
Tho allies are concentrating on
swift aeroplanest believing them to be
more effective than dirigible balloons,
in which Germany has the undisputed
advantage.
(iCf-inaii.H Fleet.
Besides Zeppelins, three other
other types of llnhter-than-alr craft
are used largely by the Germans; the
Schuotte-I.anz, rigid like the Zep, and
almost as large; a semi-rigid machine
built by the German government;
and the small, non-rigid I'arseval.
France has a rather lurge fleet of
dirigibles, Italy a dozen, Great Brit
ain a handful.
French and British experts admit
tho dirigible's superior efficiency In
directing artillery fire, but because
of Its defects of speed and mlblllty
the allied nations are concentrating
on heavler-than-air craft.

Republican Campaign Has Collapsed,
Managers Going Through the Mo

Straw Votes Indicate Landslide tor
Wilson.
By GII.SOX (lAlfDXKK.
DKTIfOIT, Mich.. Oct. l "Mic-hi-
iniii for Wilson" that is the report
Unit went privntely to Senator Thos.
.1. Walsh, in cliarje ol' lieinoerntie nu-
tional headquarters in I'hieaso. Thu
ie)oi t milled : "If we ean hold tlie vote.
as it .stands today, I am eonvineed
Michigan will lie in the Wilson eol
nnin." This was from the maniiKera
of the deuioeratie stale eampuiifii.
The manager of V. J. McDonald's
eainpaiii in the twelfth congressional
district (McDonald was a Hull Mooscr
in the la?.t congress and now is rnn
niiift for congress as a democrat ) pre
faced his report : "Don't think I am
drunk or crnzy. I am neither." Then
ho went on to say that McDonald will
he elected.
ChiiihIkii C'ollniH.
It sounds oxtrnvnjiant to clailn
.Michigan lor Wilson, lint the repub
lican campaign has collapsed. The
nianaKers are merely (joins.' thrpunh
Ihe motions,' while the candidates tiro .
in despair. (
Whenever the democratic nmiinncrs
take a pidl or straw vote they pinch
ihemselves and try ti wake up. One
of the Detroit newspapers bi'iiun t
poll ami sooti nnnoiinced that on that
show-iny Detroit would go for Wilson
by 17,0(10.
Michigan went for Hoosevelt four
years ami by a liuyc ninlxiii. lioohe-vdti-
ie.-eiied-JM,r)H4vWft 1.VJ,'21I,'
and Wilson ."i0,7.il. lu .order to
carry Ihe stale for Wilson it must be
assumed that more than half tho
Hoosevelt vole will no to Wilson. That
is uuilc a violent assumption, but the
polls seem lo show that this will hap
pen. The Michigan progressives ore jiv
iiu; Wilson organized support. .The
parly did not disorganize here, as in
many stales. It refused to go with
George W. IVrkilis into the Hughes
campaign.
IM-ogit'sslvoM for Wilson.
The national committeeman who
tried lo deliver at Chicago was recall
ed and his place filled with a real pro
gressive. Then the leaders called a
conference at .lackson and it was
agreed that Ihe party should main
tain its organization, hut withdrew ils
slate ticket and presidential electors,
and that Ihe party membership be left
free to support Wilson. .Many of the
progressives, former candidates and
parly lenders are openly for Wilson.
This will help much toward keeping
those Jl l.."iHl votes of Jliia from go
ing to Charles K. Hughes.
The democratic candidate for gov
ernor is an official of the Wilson ad
ministration. Kdwin K. Sweet of
Grand liapids, assistant secretary of
eoiMinercc. lie was once a member of
the national house of representatives
and twice mayor of his city.
The republican candidate is Albert
K. Sleeper, banker and e.v-state
treasurer.
