TELL THE STORY OF
PRESIDENT'S POIER
Politicians Puzzled, But
Riddle Solved by Those
Who Realize Neighbors'
Influence With Lawmakers
tkom l RiArr connrsroNBUNT.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. Politicians of
the old school cannot understand how
president "Wilson tins succeeded In liav
' Ing hlfl legislative program enacted Into
laws by Congress without causing n seri
ous split In tho Democratic party. In the
das of President Roosevelt, Congress ac
cepted "My Policies" simply because tho
statesmen at tho other end of Pennsyl
vania avenuo feared the "Big Stick." In
this Administration, however, President
Wilson has not endeavored to coerce tho
lawmakers Into bowing to hla will.
Few members of the Senate or IIouso
have been taken Into tho President's con
fidence. Ho has dominated tho legislative
branch of tho Government, however, and
even tho small band of Insurgents led by
Speaker Clark, who attempted to defeat
tho resolution for the repeal of tho freo
tolls provision of tho Panama Canal act,
wore so completely crushed that they aro
today tho President's most loyal sup
porters. "How, then," veteran statesmen
aro asking, "has tho 'schoolmaster' suc
ceeding In getting everything he asked for
and at tho samo tlmo held his party to
gether?" Tho Evening I.nnopn correspondent to
Uay asked a friend of President Wilson
to explain tho secret of tho President's
control of Congress.
"FOLK8 BACK HOME."
"There's no myBtcry about It," he re
plied, "tho President has had tho support
of tho next-door neighbors of tho Demo
cratic Senators and Representatives. It
has been tho fear of tho folks back homo
that has kept tho legislators In lino.
They realized that If they opposed tho
President they would havo to explain to
tho neighbors at home."
It has long been a rule with tho Presi
dent to entertain a wholcsomo respect
for tho opinion of his neighbors. On ono
occasion, ho was walklngJn tho outskirts
of Princeton with a newspaper corre
spondent. Ho was telling of tho days
back In the latter 70s, when ho was a.
student at rrlnceton.
"I have often said," tho President ho
was Governor of Now Jersey then ex
plained, "that whlto I walked, so far os
In known, a pretty straight road whllo I
was In college, I did not feel that It was
due to any natural and Innato virtue of
my own. I know again and again
when I - was tempted to do things
that I know that 1 ought not to do
was restrained, not so much by tho pre
cepts of morals an by what I knew tho
folks at homo would think of mo If I did
thoso things."
Again, on tho President's 56th birthday.
Just aftr his Virginia neighbors had pre
sented him with beautifully wrought min
iatures of his father and mother, Mr.
Wilson discussed this same question of
"the Influence of a man's next-door neigh
bor." On that occasion tho President
told a story not a funny story, but a
very touching one to lllustrato "how
much a man's morals Is la other pcoplo's
keeping,"
WEBSTKR BOWED TO NEIGHBORS
"When Mr. Webster was at tho acme
of his career," said tho President, "he
went back after a fatiguing session of
tho Senato to his homo In Boston. Ho
reached there lu tho early afternoon and
went Immediately to his room and to
his bed: and he bade hla servant not tp
venture In any circumstances to Interrupt
his rest. He hud hardly sunk off Into
that llrst delicious loss of consciousness
which precedes sound sleep when there
was a knock at his door. His orders
were Immediately disobeyed nnd her sor
vant roused him, and Mr. Webster angrily
asked him why ho dared do that.
" 'Well,' he said, 'Mr. Webster, I
wouldn't venture to do It, but there are
some gentlemen downstairs from your
eld home In New Hampshire who
wouldn't go away, sir, and they said It
was a case of llfo nnd death that they
had to see you about."
"Webster, with many complainings nnd
gruutlngs, got on his clothes nnd went
down to And a group of plain men from
his old home In New Hampshire, who
told him that there was a boy. their
neighbor, a son of a friend of his, who
was charged with murder nnd caught In
a not of circumstantial evidence which
seemed absolutely to be conclusive.
" 'But,' thoy said, 'Mr. Webster, we
have known that boy ever since ho was
born; he did not commit that murder,
and we don't know any man that can
unravel this skein of evidence but your
self. You must come.' They pleaded
with him nnd finally he said he would
not come. Then they arose and the
spokesman said, half to Mr. Webster and
half to the others, 'Well, I Buppose wo
must go home; but I don't know what
the neighbors will say.' 'Oh, well said
Mr. Webster, 'If It comes to the neigh
bors, I'll go.'
"That la the greatest compulsion I
know of," the President added, "what
the neighbors would think. A very witty
English writer says, 'You may talk of
the tyranny of Nero and Tiberius, but
the real tyranny Is the tyranny of your
next door neighbor,' "
It has been, according to one of the
President's closest friends, this "tyranny
of your next door neighbor" that has
held 63 Democratic Senators nnd 200 Rep
resentatives In line and made the "big
stick" a useless weapon In this Admin
istration. 40,000 CANADIANS GUARD
BORDER AGAINST INVASION
Tears of Dominion, However, De
clared Groundless.
OTTAWA, Ont., Oct. 30.-A force of
about 40,000 men, enlisted from different
parts of the Dominion, will be kept on
duty along the border as a precaution
against a possible Canadian Invasion by
Germans and Austrian living across the
line. Reports have reached here of a
feeling of nervousness at certain places
along the border over the supposed dan
ger of such an attack. Such fears' are
declared to be unwarranted.
The border aimy Includes about 10,000
on guard duty and home defense, and
80,000 In training continuously for foreign
service.
A cement block factory, controlled by
Germans, at St. John, on the Island of
Orleans, Is under suspicion as a possible
point of Invasion.

WAR MOVES FIND GERMANS
ON DEFENSE IN RUSSIA
Failure of Carefully Planned Invasion of Poland From
Three Directions Revives Russian Hope of Successful
Advance to Berlin.
By NEW YORK TRIBUNE CRITIC
It Is officially admitted in Berlin that
the German Invasion of Poland has col
lapsed. Instead of thundering at the
gates of Warsaw-as they were a couple
of wcoks ago General von Hlndenburg'a
forces are now rapidly retiring toward
the German base In West Poland, on the
River Warthe. The German left has
yielded more ground than the centre or
right. In the region west and southwest
of Warsaw the Russians claim to have
occupied Lodz, which had been in Ger
man possession since early in August.
The extreme German left Is now about
"5 miles west of Warsaw, and the line
of the retiring army runs from that
point southeast to the neighborhood of
Radom until It almost touches the upper
Vistula. But the Russians are on the
offensive all along this front, and the
official Berlin statement says that strong
reinforcements to the enemy have ne
cessttated a rotreat.
The forward movement In Poland was
part of a general plan to check the Rus
sian westerly ndvance, which had made
such unexpected progress up to the mid
dle of September. By that time the Rua
slims had cleared Eastern and Central
Gallcla, had crossed tho San River, In
vested Irzeinsl nnd pushed west toward
t'racnw ns far as Rzeszow. In order to
counteract that advance and allow the
beaten Austro-Hutigarlan armies time to
reorganize, a German force crossed the
.Russian border from East Prussia about
four weeks ago and attacked some of the
fortresses on the line of the River Nla
nien. That diversion had little success,
the Germans being quickly driven back
Into their own territory.
Von Hlndenburg endeavored to take the
Russians by surprise by a dash for War
saw, and ho did. In fact, get within ten
miles of Warsaw before his attack could
be checked.
To meet this Invasion Russian troops had
to bo maised all along the middle
ttretclics uf tho Vistula and the Rus
sian udvnnce through Gallcla had to be
halted. The Russian armies In Gallcla
withdrew to the line of the San River.
which forms a continuation of the Vis
tula southeast from the Polish border
to the Carpathians and covers Jaroslau
and I'rzemysl. On that line and south
ward, nt Sambor and StryJ, they stood for
a couple of weeks on the defensive, wait
ing to bee how the new Austro-German
offensive would dovlop.
The Ausiro-Hungarlan attack In Gallcla
was very spirited. It has held the Rus
sians on the defensive, and, according to
xoports from Vienna, has partially raised
the Meso of I'rzemysl It has resulted
In the recovery of a large section of Cen
tral filicla which had fallen Into the
possession of the enemy.
The Russian concentration In the west
ern theatre has been worked out with
great precision and smoothness. Now
German control of Western Poland, which
Russia had not hitherto seriously dis
puted, is In danger.
If the Herman retreat continues only a
small section of Poland west of the
Warthe River will remain In General von
Hlndenbuw's hands and the whole of
western Uallcia will be uncovered to a,
Russian attack from the north. At Lodz
the Russians are further west than they
have been at any other stage of the cam
paign. If they can clear southwestern
Toland of the enemy, the Austro-Uun-garian
armies on the line of the San
River will be In an extremely danger
ous position. These forces will be sub
ject to an attack from the rear and their
line of retreat to Cracow may be cut
off Should they be compelled to retire
acrosa the Carpathian Mountains, into '
EVENING T.HIKIKR-PHIUDEtPHIA, FBIDAY, OCTOBER
SCORES RAILROADS
AS UNJUSTIFIED IN
HIGHER RATE PLEA
Clifford Thorne Condemns
Carriers for Taking Ad
vantage of the "Situation
Produced by European
War."
WASHINGTON, Oct, SO.-Scorlng tho
railroads In Eastern classification terri
tory for Inking advantage of existing
conditions to forco the Interstate Com
merce Commission to grant a flat In
crease 'n freight rates of B per cent., to
meat the "situation produced by the
European war," Clifford Thorne, chair
man of the Iowa State Railroad Commis
sion, today charged that the railroads
were unjustified In their demands.
He declared at the reopening of tho
rate advance argument before the com
mission that tho plea for more revenue
to pay dividends to bolster up American
railway securities was not a proper ar
gument to submit to show that railroad
properly needed Federal help.
"The question In OiIb hearing," de
clared Mr. Thorne, "Is whether or not
the commission will go outside of Its
jurisdiction to grant an Incrcaso In
rates to tho railroads."
Mr. Thorno said that tho commission's
authority only extended to a point of
declaring what was a reasonable rate.
"Should It be ascertained that tho pres
ent rates are not reasonable In view of
tho situation created by tho European
war, then," said Mr. Thorno, "tho com
mission has proper authority to con
sider the railroads' application for tho
Increase"
Ho added that an Increase In rates was
not Justified on the pretext advanced by
the cnrrlers.
"REHASHING OL ARGUMENTS."
"Most of the lines In ofllclal classifica
tion territory," said Mr. Thorne, "are
distinctly prosperous. Hardly had tho
Ink dried on the decision printed by tho
Commission several weeks ago In the
Eastern freight advance case when tho
railroads come again asking for addi
tional help. Today these self-same roads
aro rehashing their old arguments of In
adequate revenues. There Is absolutely
no evidence of any fact since tho record
In the former case was concluded showing
a falling off of any spoclal commodities.
Their securities aro selling at better
prices than before."
Mr. Thorne Introduced a petition from
merchants of St. Joseph, Mo., opposing
the granting of tho Increase. It de
clared the carriers had no more right
for an Increase than Individual shippers
had for Federal help.
Mr. Thorno doclared that to grant the
Hungary they would be of little further
use In the present campaign.
The German and Auatro-Hungarlan
nrmies on the eastern fronfare limited
by strategical considerations to a de
fensive role. They cannot with safety
undertake nnything llko a conquest of
Russia.
The excursion to the Nlemen and the
raid to the Vistula have not seriously In
terrupted the Russian campaign, Tho
former was abortive. The latter has led
to a new Russian advance which puts In
peril the position of the Austro-Hun-garlan
army In central Gallcla and re
opens the road to Cracow.

railroad's application would be a. na
tional calamity,
"The year 1913," he added, "was one
of the most prosperous years for tho
railroads of the East, but maintenance
accounts were so manipulated that net
revenue accounts showed only small re
turns." He accounted for the alleged
loss In revenues by the greater expen
ditures for maintenance.
BROWNEMiE DEFENDS RAILROADS,
Georgo F. Brownellc, counsel for the
Erie Railroad, following Mr. Thorne, de
clared that slnco tho former hearing
facts and circumstances had arisen which
had. materially changed tho situation of
tho carriers, which would fully Justify tho
granting of tho advance asked for.
"Tho effect of the European war on
tho supply of cnpltal available for In
vestment would bo serious and Incrcaso
the difficulty of tho railroad companies
In securing the new cnpltal necessnry for
refunding, for Improvements and for other
purposes," he said.
"it is olnlous," Mr, Brownelle con
cluded, "thnt tho railroad and trans
portation Interests of the country He at
the basis of our Industrial nnd llnanclal
fabric, and thnt unless those Interests
can bo made reasonably prosperous
through adequate revenue, their financial
necessities relieved and confidence In the
stability' of their securities restored and
maintained no permanent relief from ex
isting conditions enn bo expected.
"Wo hopo and bellevo that upon all the
facts which the whole record now con
tains tho Commission will find that the
proposed rates aro no more than Just
and reasonable and allow them to bocomo
effective."
The Commission adjourned for consid
eration of tho case. It Is probable that a
decision will be reached by the latter
part of .November.
