BERLIN, Nov. 2. Fort Vaux, on the
northeast front of Verdun, has been evacu

announced today.
"The artillery engagement on the cast
bank of tho Mcuso repeatedly Increased
to great Intensity," said the War omco.
The French directed especially heavy de
structive Are against Fort Vaux, which
had already beep evacuated during the night
time by our troops, following a ghen order
and without being disturbed by the enemy.
Important parts of the fort were blasted by
(is before withdrawing."
"North of the Somme artillery activity
was renbwed In local sections. An English
advance north of Courcelette was easily re
pulsed. "French attacks In the sector of Les
Bouefs and Itancourt brought small ad
vantages for the enemy. Northeast of
Monal and on the notthwest edge of Pierre
Vaast wood the enemy attacks were gen
erally repulsed with sanguinary losses.
Our troops, in splto of tenacious resistance,
made an advance In tho north part of
Ballly."
Fort Vaux was the laBt of tho Verdun
forts remaining In the hands of the Ger
mans, Fort DouaUmont having been re
captured by the French In their recent of
fensive. Dispatches from the Verdun front

was surrounded on three sides by the
French, whose artillery waa ringing the
fortress wlth fire, cutting off supplies to
the Germans.
Fort Vaux was captured by the Germans
n June 6 after a terrific battle. It occu
pied a strong position on the summit of a
hill and the French had repeatedly repulsed
storming attacks up Its v steep sides. The
Germans systematically reduced tho French
defenses by constant artillery flrq until the
fort was no longer tenable. Its evacuation
by the Germans-came on the 252d day of
the great struggle t Verdun,

BATAVIA, N. T.. Nov. 2. Charles K.
Hughes today said he was entirely confident
of victory In the debatable States of Ohio
and Indiana. Speaking before an enthu
siastic? audience hero ho said:
"I have Just returned from n trip through
Ohio and Indiana, with a. profound sense
of gratification and entire confidence vlth
respect to the result In both States. In both
Ohio and Indiana It Is not exaggerating to
say that I had receptions which perhaps ex
ceeded those accorded to any presidential
candidate.
That was, of course, rt a tribute to mo
personally, but It was nn Indication of the
deep Interest that the people are taking In
tho essential conditions of their prosperity
and their satisfaction that there Is a great
reunited Republican party ready for sorvlce
at th's time.
"Wo know, of course, well that so far
as promises go no party can exceed tho
promises made by our opponents But we
measure what they say by what they have
done. They told us four yearsago they
would reduce the coat of lhlng They said
they would do away with extravaganco in
Government. They tell us now that they
are going to deal with economic problems
that confront us at this time In a satisfac
tory manner.
"But If we endeavor to ascertain by which
principle they are to bo guided, wo look In
vain. I propose. to tell you by-what-prin-clplo
we shall be guided. We are not guided
by war prosperity,"

NEW LONDON, Nov. 2 Amid the toss

vices wilt Jjo held for the crew of the lost
merchant submarine, Bremen, when tho
Deutschland goes on her oago home.
Now that they are certain that the
nremen went to the bottom, the crew of the
Deutschland decided today that the most
appropriate way they could gle farewell
honors to the seamen on their Ill-fated sister
ship would bo to hold a memorial Bcrvice
at sea. Consequently It was decided that
a laurel wreath, bound with tho German
Naval ensign, should be cast upon the waters
whllo tho prayers were said.
It was first suggested that the words
"auf weldersehen" (until wo meet again),
bo Inscribed on the emblem, but some ob
jected to It.
"It is too much like tempting fate." said
the objectors. "We may meet those poor
fellows at tho bottom of the sea Boon
enough."
The expenses are being borne Jointly by

BRITISH SHIPS ON GUARD
Swift destroyers from tho British naal
base at Halifax will try to run-down the
German merchant submarine Deutschland
when Bhe starts on her return voyage to
Germany. Information was received here
today that tho British will not rely wholly
upon their patrolling fleet of cruisers when
the Deutschland starts for home, but will
put their trust In tho agile and speedy
destroyers Instead
An official of the German Embassy ar
rived today and immediately departed for
Washington with a bag of official mall.
Paul Hllken, of the Eastern Forwarding
Company, said today that Count von Bern
storff, German Ambassador, would come
here next Tuesday to visit the Deutsch
land. Completely shrouded from view from the
new) $1,000,900 Stato pier and her mother
ship, the Wlllehad, the Deutschland was
the scene of great activity today. Every
thing was ready for the immediate removal
of her cargo.
The cargo is much more valuable than
was first estimated, some placing the figure
at aa high as $10,000,000. It waa reported
that the undersea liner carried Jewels, but
this was denied. However, It Is certain
that she carried quantities of securities in
addition to drugs and chemicals.
PLANS ANOTHER VOYAGE
Captain Paul Koenlg was anxious to get
his boat reloaded and started on the home
ward trip as quickly aa possible, for he
hopes to make another voyage before win
ter weather Interferes It Is possible that
the Deutschland may remain here only a
week.
The wireless apparatus of tho under
water freighter has been sealed by United
States naval authorities, so that Bhe can
not communicate with ships at sea.
Captain Hinch, of the Eastern Forward
ing Company, American agents of the own
ers of the Deutschland, at first objected
to this precedure because Lieutenant
Brlggs, U, S. N., was not In uniform.
4 However, as soon as the proper creden
tials were produced no further protest was
mode.
Captain Koenlg said he expected to have
nn rilmfii1Hi with thn rntnms nflln(&lfi. If
Siny arose at all It would be over the secu
rities carried.
