TO KEEP OFFICE
President Again at Work at White
House Cabinet Changes Rumored
McAdoo May Resign Supreme
Court Possibilities Discussed Im
portant Legislation to Come Up.
WASHINGTON', Nov. 13. Presi
dent Wilson was back at Ills doslc in
white house today atter an ab
sence of two months, prepared to take
up important foreign problems which
have been held in abeyance pending
the election. These included the Ger
man submarine situation and the
Mexican problem. The president was
expected to consider first the subnfh
mine situation,) which is admittedly
serious. A summary of recent devel
opments In German submarine war
fare, prepared by the state dopart
meut, was ready to be laid before him
and in addition he probably soon will
confer with Ambassador Gerard on
the situation.
The president has not even consid-
ercd the question of changes in his
cabinet, according to administration
officials, who characterize as prema
ture reports that he had decided on
such changes. It Is possible, however,
'hat one or two cabinet oficers may
iot remain after March 4. ;
llciniblkan House Majority.
t
The president asked first for the
latest information on the political
make-up of the house of rcprescnta
tiws in the sixty-fifth congress. lie
was told indications from present re
turns were that the republicans would
have 217 members and the democrats
212, with six members of utlier pur
lips.
, president . ,yva understood lo
be much concerned over the make-up
el' til o next house, chiefly because of
lis eflcrt on tho selection of the
speaker and chairmanships of com
mittees which lie is anxious to see in
the hands of democrats. As far as
legislation is concerned, it was said
tixky, Mr. Wilson is confident thai
most measures to be proposed by huii
would gain the support of enough re
publicans to carry them through.
Mr. Wilson continued to refuse to
make uny comment on the election
pending "if receipt of foimul word
from Jlr. Hughes and the republican
national committee conceding his
election. $
After n brief stay in Washington
the president may go away for a rest
Ix't'ure congress convenes. Hot
.Springs was mentioned as the place
he might visit.
Cabinet Changes Iliunoi'cd.
There have been many reports cir
culated regarding; changes in the cab
inet, but officials in close I ouch with
(he president declared today that it
is almost certain that he will urge all
Hie present members of the cabinet lo
remain at their posts and changes
arc not expected unless members
themselves desire to quit the official
family.
It is considered possible, however,
taut one or more members of the
cabinet may resign for persona! rea
sons. Secretary McAdoo has been
frequently mentioned as one nicmbcr
likcly to resign, mid Representative
Curter Glass of Virginia, chairman ol
the house banking and currency com
mittee, has been suggested for his
post. It was stated definitely today
that Mr. McAdoo can .remniu in the
president's eubinct as long us he de
sires, and it was denied that he has
offered his resignation.

NEW OFFENSIVE
E
British Push Operations Both Sides
of Ancre River Von Mackcnsen
Continues Retreat in Dohrudja
Russians Cross Danube Serbians
Win Brilliant Victory in Macedonia
LONDON', Nov. 13. Today's an
nouncement by London that the Brit
ish have opened an attack on both
sides of the Ancre river in northern
Franco indicates the possibility that
an Important new offensive has be
gun. '
The Ancre river, or brook, approx
imately bounds on the south the sharp
salient made in the German lines by
the prolonged Franco-Iirltlsh offen
sive in the Sonune region. Apparent
ly General llalgh s troops are now at
tacking this salient from both sides.
In a broftl sense this salient ex
tends some eighteen mile snorthward
to Arras, but whether the new Brit
ish operations covers its entire
breadth or an attempt is underway
merely lo crush in the southern sec
tion is not made plain by the offi
cial statement.
Yon Maeliensen Iteti'catlng.
Reports from Petrograd. so far un
confirmed by official advices, declare
that Field .Marshal Von .Vlaekeusen
'is. continuing bl.i retreat In Dobi-'iOja
under disastrous conditions. It is
even said that the Russians have suc
ceeded In crossing the Danube at two
points south of Tchernavoda. which,
if correct, would mean that Von Mac
kensen's army was being taken i
the rear or that he had been To ice 1
lack from the Constanza-Tcbernavoda
railway line. His force ts said to be
demoralized from reverses, heavy
losses, diseases and lack of reinforce
ments. The Hlack sea port of Constanza Is
reported again under fire of the Rus
sian fleet.
Serbian Victory I tril linnt.
The recent Serbian victory In Mace
donia, appears from the entente ac
counts, to have been a brilliant one.
Paris reports that the Germans and
Bulgarians were pushed back nearly
two miles In the Cerna river region
southeast of Monastir, In a two-days'
battle and that they lost 1000 men in
prisoners. Unofficial accounts an
nounce an additional Serbian success
to tho north along the bend of the
river, carrying the closlng-ln move
ment on Monastir still further.
Official Berlin today reports that
entente artillery was yesterday shell
ing Tchernavoda in Dohrudja from
across the Danube.

Teutonic progress continues on the
Transylvania border of Rumania, the
German statement declares. Three
towns were captured, numerous at
tacks by the Rumanians were repuls
ed and more than 1.000 prisoners
were taken.
The French, according to Berlin,
opened an offensive yesterday in up
per Alsace, but were defeated In their
efforts to advance. German artil
lery, It Is declared, broke up entente'
efforts to gain ground in the Suiume
region.

here today for the flr.st of a Hrle of
conferences to discuss ways and
means for tho application of the Htat
uto. Tho meeting was described by
representatives of the roads as ono
for informal dlscusHion only, with the.
purpose of determining whether both
sides view the law in the nam a light.
Neither side understood the legisla
tion or how ft was to be nppllcd. It
was said, and an effort was to be
made to reach some common ground
for application If the I'nlted States
supreme court decides the law Is con-
stltullona In the suits brought by sev
eral roads to determine this fact..
tiltahu Lee headed the conference
committee of managers whidh repre

that taken prior to the conference be

President Wilson, which was followed
by the passage of the Adamson law

to put the vote into effect at that
time.
When the conferees adjourned to
duy for luncheon It was said by
brotherhood representatives that so
far nothing had been accomplished.
The brotherhoods' representatives
said that they hud worked out an In

for the reason that the roads, or some
of them had announced their decision
to fight it through Injunctions.

"A strike vole Is still In effect,"
said Mr. Lee, " and If the railroads do
not live up to Hie very spirit and In

Mr. Lett added that any attempt ut
