CHURCH FEDERATION CAN HELP CITY OFFICIALS ENFORCE LAWS
"Richmond's Federation of churches will be of great help to officers in enforcing the laws," declared Charles M. Woodman, paBtor of the West Rich raond Fiends church, in addressing the first mass meeting of the Federation at the First Presbyterian church yesterday afternoon. "As a unit, the churches can gather evidence to convict law violators." This was named as 'one of the reasons for the federation. Churches Work Together. "The churches in this day cannot do their best work unless they work in co-operation is a necessity to success and churches are learning the lesson. "The church federations which are springing up in various cities all over the country are the culmination of the
Federal council of churches which has
been organized and which has a membership consisting of thirty denominations, and 18,000,000 communicants." S. Edgar Nicholson, president of the federation, explained that the association had been founded with two ideas
in view: (1) The undertaking of
lines of religious work not done by any church and (2) making possible a medium through which the united re
ligious sentiment of Richmond can express itself on big problems which confront the city.

WARSAW, Nov. 5. Via London, Nov. 6. The manifesto of Emperor William and Emperor Francis Joseph, again calling into existence the ancient kingdom of Poland, was read at noon today to the assembled Polish representatives in the Royal palace by Gen. Von Beseler. Outside in the great square before the castle and in the spacious courtyard of the venerable fourteenth centurv Dile. inhabitants of the old Polish
1 capital gathered by the thousands to
attend the ceremony of what is designated as the rebirth of the Polish nationa concert the importance and bearing of which are making their way into the minds of the people more or less rapidly after its long sleep of more than a century. Quickest to realize the significance of the day are the academic youth of the country, students of the University of Warsaw, the polytechnic school and other higher Institutions of learning, who attended the ceremony in corporate units, bearing corporate units, bearing banners and wearing the gay student ribbons.
This afternoon they are leading par
ades and demonstrations through
streets bright with red flags. There
are volunteers by the hundreds for the polish army which, the manifesto announced, will be called into existence. Ceremony was Short The ceremony was short and simple Precisely at noon General Von Beseler wearing the decorations granted for the reduction of Antwerp and the Polish fortresses, mounted the dais in the gala ball room of the Old Jagellonian castle and in the name of German's sovereign read the imperial manifesto in ringing, soldierly tones. When he ceased, the Polish count HuttenCzapski, the palace commandant, read from a leather-bound pamphlet to the Polish notables a translation of the manifesto In their own lenguage. Then came cheers from the hitherto silent crowd; cheers for Poland, Emperor William, Emperor Francis Joseph, for Germany and the Germans, and for General Von Beseler. President Brudzinski of the recently elected city council, who is rector of the University of Warsaw, advanced before the dais and in the Polish tongue
gave thanks for the imperial decree.
Poles Strive to Be Worthy He asserted the determination of the Poles to be found worthy of the liberties conferred and asked that as the first step 'toward the formation of the government a' regent be appointed for the kingdom, since the time was not ripe for the nomination of the hereditary sovereign promised
in the 'manifesto. President Brudzinski, who was in plain civilian attire without decorations, seemed to represent the spirit not of the ancient Poland and the Polish chivalry, but of the modern intellectual Palond.
DETROIT MEN GUARD POLLS TO STOP FRAUD
DETROIT, Mich., Nov. 6. Casting of ballots in Detroit tomorrow will be more closely guarded and watched
than ever before in the city's history. An army of trained civilians, federal agents, uniformed policemen and private detectives has been assembled and at least two men are to be placed in every voting booth in the city. This step grows out of charges made recently that fully 3,000 illegal registrations had been entered on the regulation books. Republican and Democratic leaders resting after one of the most acrimonious campaigns in years stood by their earlier claims that their respective candidates would be victorious tomorrow. Republicans claimed the state for Hughes by 100,000 while the Democrats predicted, Wilson would win by "from 5,000 to 10,000."
EXPECT HEAVY VOTE BECAUSE OF INTENSE CAMPAIGN IN OHIO
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 6. One of the heaviest votes -ever recorded is expected to be cast in Ohio at tomorrow's election.

Herrick will carry the state by "from 60,000 to 100,000." Both campaign headquarters were agreed that there is seemingly more interest in Ohio over the election of a president than over the state ticket. State issues, including taxation and workmen's compensation insurance have been the principal issues at stake in the campaigns of Gov. Frank B. Willis, Republican, and Ex-Gov. James M. Cox, Democrat. Much Interest centers around the vote for U. S. Senator. Senator Atlee Pomerene, Democrat, and Myron T. Herrick, Republican, have waged a warm campaign on national issues.
PREDICT HEAVY VOTE
BALTIMORE, Nov. 6. A heavy vote is predicted in this state tomorrow. Both sides are confident of winning.

WILSON'S TELEGRAM THANKS LOCAL WORKERS FOR EFFORTS
Harry Schuerman, treasurer of the Wayne county Democratic organization, and other workers, today received personal telegrams from President Wilson thanking them for their interest in his campaign. The telegram to Mr. Schuerman follows: "I thank you heartily for the splendid work done by you and all the workers in the cause of progressive principles at issue in this campaign. The fight is won, I fully believe. Though I take this means of urging you to renewed exertions and vigilance to see that belated efforts to confuse the public judgment do not succeed. "Our country is prosperous, secure and happy. And its prosperity is upon a sound basis. Steps to protect our commerce and industry in any emergency after the European war have been taken. The anti-dumping clause of the so-called war revenue act provides the executive ample power to prevent the dumping of European surplus manufacturers upon our markets. "The tariff commission will shortly be appointed and at work to provide the facts which will determine what other legislation is necessary or desirable. I need not add that the federal reserve act is a guarantee against panics and that the federal trade commission will aid as it already has helped to preserve the stability of our domestic and foreign commerce. I am confident that the time has passed in
America when votes can be bought, the ballot box defiled by corrupt practices, or that judgment of the American people determined or Influenced in any way by the use of money. It is, however, our duty to take every precaution lest conscienceless agents of the sinister forces working In opposition to progressive principles and popular government resort, In their desperation, to industrial coercion, to the evil and insidious practices of a decade or more ago. "WOODROW WILSON."
