DEMOCRATS CARE NOTHING FOR FACT IN THEIR CLAIMS Statement of Democratic Committee Not in Accord With Official Data Washington, I). C., Oct. 26. —The Democratic National Committee is sues a statement that under the Lemocratic party's leadership, the ■United States now has "approxi mately two million men overseas, all armed, equipped, and supplied as they should be, with the shipping You Never Miss the Water Till the Well Runs Dry"-. and you'll never want that car so badly 'till you come to the time when you can't buy one. And that time isn't far off, either, by the looks of things. Better come to, and buy it now while you can get a ' Good, Guaranteed Car without being "soaked" for it.

They met on Easter morning and realizing what Verdun had cost the French, they wrote to the American Red Cross: "We have decided to adopt a little boy with -blue eyes whose father fell at Verdun." The American Red Cross re plied, sending a picture of a little boy of required specifications, whose mother worked In a muni tions factory. "He has two brothers and sis ters," wrote the A. R. C. The answer was: "Company G takes the whole bunch." V —^ board and the emergency fleet cor poration." In making this claim, the Demo cratic National .Committee neglects the important fact that the very existence of the overseas army is due to the draft law. which every Democratic leader fought, and which was passed under the leadership of Republican members of the lower House and with the aid of an over whelming majority of Republican votes. It also neglects to state the fact that when it became evident to all military experts during the German drive of last spring, that our con tribution of man power must be in creased, and when President Wilson and the War Department, in recog nition of this crisis, asked that the draft bill be amended so as to in crease our overseas army, the Demo cratic party leaders and the majority of the Democratic members of the House, opposed amending the draft law as the President and the War Department requested. Eighty-six Democrats voted against this critical war measure to only 80 who voted for it, anj the measure passed the House under the leadership of Rep resentative Kahn, Republican, and with the support of 111 Republican votes. It is tru.e that our overseas armiet are armed, equipped and supplied as they should be, but the Democratit National Committee neglects to state the very important fact that this is because England is clothing them, and England and France are equip ping them with artillery of all cali ber, and with air craft. This is be cause a series of delays in the War Lepartment, as administered by the Democrats made it impossible for this country to equip its soldiers go ing abroad, and had not England and France come to our rescue, our overseas army to-day would not be either equipped or clothed. Here Is Real Record As to the statement that the ship ping situation has been met, let the official figures answer. Of more than 1.500.000 American soldiers transported to Europe up to October Ist. American vessels car ried only 756.000; the remainder were carried in vessels loaned this govrenment by Great Britain, France and Italy. No longer ago than October 14th Sir Eric Geddes. First Lord of the British Admiralty, in an address in New York, warned this country of a new U-boat drive and said that the greatest need of the hour was for an increase in the output of destroyers Had the Democratic party not stood almost as a unit against a jigger navy during the three years immedi ately preceding the American en trance into the war, the United States would now have a navy that would be sharing equal honor with the British fleet "in protecting the high seas from German U-boats, in convoying American soldiers to France and taking care of American . exports DR. TOPE URGES SENATOR SPROUL Head of Anti-Saloon League in Philadelphia Calls For His Election as Governor The Rev. Dr. Homer W. Tope, dis trict superintendent of the Anti- Snloon League, yesterday issued a statement in which he said: "The I question to be settled by the next i Legislature in Pennsylvania is: Shall i the dry amendment to the Constitu tion of the United States be ratified? i To ratify an amendment to the Con jstitution of the United States a ma jority vote in each House is neces sary. The only way to have a ma jority in each House of the l.cgis [ latere is to elect them on November io. The Governor's wishes in such matters have large influence with members of the Legislature, i "Senator William C. Sproul, Repub i llean candidate for Governor, has de- I clared for ratification of the National ; Prohibition Amendment. Eugene ! BonniWell, Democratic candidate for 1 Governor, has declared against rati ! tication. Between these two canal- i 1 dates the issue is clearly drawn. \\ e i are not voting at this time on the i State Bone Dry measure in i'onn- j Isvlvania. That is another issue, an I issue for the state to decide. The ] National Amendment deals only with : i intoxicating liquor used for beverage , 'purposes.

New York, Oct. 25. —In an address last night before the Division of j i' Pictorial Publicity at the Salma- ! ; guindi Club, Cbmmissioner Henry IV. j . Mapp, head of the Salvation Army j j in Russia, who has just returned, from that country, made the direct t ' charge that it was through a pri- j vate wire from the apartment of the ! Czarina in the Winter Palace in . Petrograd to Potsdam that all in-1 , formation in regard to the military | . plane of the Allies received by Rus- j sia was conveyed to the German i | Government. The sinking of the ship on which Lord Kitchener was lost was ac- j 1 eomplished through the treachery of . the former empress, according to Mr. Mapp, who telegraphed all the j plans in regard to Lord Kitchener's 1 proposed visit directly to the Kaiser, j "The Czarina, was the great force , 1 in Russia," Mr. Mapp said. "All in- | ' formation that Russia received from j • the Allies regarding their plans was i " immediately conveyed to her and she > sent it to Germany. The Kaiser > controlled Russia. The corruption, treachery, and intrigue in the Rus- j sian Court was terrible. Munition i plants were blown up at the instruc i tion of the Germans and unbe- j . llevable damage to the allied cause ! i was effected through the treachery j of the former Empress. If the i revolution had not taken place, the j Germans would have been able to lead the allied cause to destruction, j Bad as the situation is now, it is not j ' to be compared with the conditions i which existed under Czardom. The j ,j downfall of the Czar's regime was | the greatest possible advantage to , i the Allies." Bishop Darlington Says Christian Union Coming; Dines With Archbishop i Xen York. Oct. 26.

The ! metropolitan, in an address, assert- ! |ed that Greece, above all other na- j I lions, appreciates America's entry in- i |to the war "to bind the wounds of i the suffering Christians" because I Greeks in Asia Minor for 500 j have suffered under the Turkish yoke.

Beary by Attorney General Francis Shunk Brown. The plan of sending a commissioner to each regiment was followed in IS9S and again In 1918 when the Pennsyl \aniang were in active service on the Mexican border. Last year condi tions were changed owing to the operation of fhe draft law and the scattering of men through various camps. The number of commis sioners to be named this year will depend upon responses front camp commanders to the inquiries of the adjutant general as to the Pennsyl vanians undar their authority. The commissioners will com mence to start out next week.
