With a broad side against President Wilson, fired by Former Presidents Taft and Roosevelt today, the political batteries now shad ing the nation continued discharging from coast to const.

In a statement todav, Secretary of Labor Wilson accused the republicans of having harried the administration constantly.

Whenever the war ends, thousands of American sol diers in France and Belgium will be used in the reconstruction of the war devastated areas. Wide utilization of the American forces is contemplated while the troops await ships, to bring them home. Official todav estimated that the American armies abroad could not alt Already be brought back in less than ten months. The maximum monthly return of the men cannot' exceed 230,000.

Celery King By Robert J. Bender. (United Press staff correspondent.) Washington, Nov. 1. Complete sur render of the central powers to the forces of civilization is drawing nearer, official Washington believed today. Already Mittel-Europa has been crushed by the allied arms. Austria's abject capitulation is expected momon- tanlv in the wake of her frantic appeal for an armistice on the field of battle. When this conies Germany will face the world alone. How long she will hold out is a matter of coujecture, but authorities here beiievc not more than six months. Germany, these authorities say, must be weighiug thoughtfully tho conse quences, tne ueoacic ot her allies as slu- awaits the call for surrender from the Versailles conference. Austria's exit from the War, mili tary authorities point out, will expose the entire southern German frontier where morale is tho weakest aad where feeling against Prussia is most bittr. Bavaria, baxony and Bilesm would be the first points of contact with allied troos and Munich, Dresden and Bres- lau, leading south German cities, would be the first cities feeling u drive Irom the Austrian sido Debts are now haunting the Germans. tho Hohenzollcrns face tin probability of having to repudiate the government's debt at home iu order- to square its debts to the world.

Tho Krupps, for example, with millions of marks invested in government securi ty would be reduced suddenly to a po sition where 'they n0 longer would con stitute a menace. Estimates of the damage done by the Germans in Belgium place a load of ap proximately $4,000,000,000 on Germany. This has grown up from fines, levies, war contributions, removal of raw and manufactured products to Germnnv and wholesale-destruction of property. The!

' Belgium lost approximately $1,200, 000,000 worth of raw and manufactured products, machinery and other indus trial equipment to the invaders, accord ing to a published German boast in 1917. These figures do not include tho deportation of 1,720,000 Belgian men into Germany, whoso production was entirely Ios'to their homo land..

Officials pointed another fea ture in the plan to utilize troops in re building Belgium and France in the ab sorption of a surplus of materials here. It is estimated that approximately $3,000,000,000 worth of malerials, both raw and manufactured, will bo ready for other markets when thev no longer are needed for war purposes.
