WILSON AFTER DICTATORSHIP CHARGES HAYS Statement Issued by G. 0. P. National Chairman Answers -President Political Appeal. (By Associated Presa) NEW YORK. Oct 28. Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican national committee, made public here tonight statement In which he replied in behalf of his party to President Wilson's appeal to the nation to return Democratic congress. . In his statement, Mr. Hays said: "President Wilson has questioned the . motives of your representatives Id congress. He has thereby impunged their loyalty and denied their patriotism. His challenge is to you, who elected these representatives. You owe to them, to the honor of your great party and to your own self respect to meet that challenge squarely, not only as Republicans, but as Americans. I, as your chairman, call upon you to do it. t ; ' "Mr. Wilson accords the Republicans no credit whatever for having

supported the war measures -proposed by his administration, although they have done so with much greater unanimity than the members of his own party. Despite that fact, he accuses them of having tried to usurp his proper functions. "At no time and in no way have they tried to take control of the war out of his hands. The president knows that The country knows it. You know it. "Mr. Wilson grudgingly admits that the Republicans have been pro-war. Then why does he demand their defeat? Because they are still pro-war? Hardly that. No. It is because they are for peace, though not without victory; because they do not believe, a lasting peace can be obtained through negotiation; because they consider that U. S. stands for unconditional surrender as well as for the United States and Uncle Sam. The Democratic congress does not. There is the issue as clearly as the noonday sun. The country will decide. Wants Dictator's Power. "But President Wilson's real pur

pose has nothing to do with the con'

duct of the war. He has had that

from the beginning, has it now, and nobody dreams of interfering with his control. He wants Just two things.

One is full power to settle the war

precisely as he and his sole, unelected, unappointed personal adviser may determine. The other Is full power, as the unembarrassed spokesman in affairs at home, as he actually demands !n his statement, to reconstruct in Mace times the great industrial affairs of the nation, in the same way, in unimpeded conformity with whatever Socialistic doctrines, whatever unlimited government ownership notions, whatever hazy whims may happen to possess him at the time; but flrst and above all, with absolute commitment to free trade with all the world, thus giving to Germany out of hand the fruits of victory greater than she could win by fighting a hundred years A Republican congress will never assent to that. Do you want a congress trat will? Germany does. "Read the testimony of Henry C. Emery, former head of the tariff commission, just returned from several months in Germany: "'The German people,' he says, 'seemed to realize that In President Wilson lay their only salvation. Ther have turned to him in the belief that '.ie is the one great political leader who can be trusted to make a pernenent peace which will permit equal economic development He is. All

others demand that the Germans shall ;iay the full penalty of their crimes. "Mr. Wilson is for unconditional 'surrender yes, for the unconditional .-.urrender to himself of the Republican party, of the country, of the allies all to him, as the one sole arbiter ind master of the destinies of the vorld. Do you stand for that? Answer with your votes. "This is a call to all loyal Republicans, proud in their patriotism, to ttand by their country and the candidates and to let the world know that merica spurns autocracy no less at iome than abroad, and will uphold her allies in whatever reparation they

nay exact for the frightful outrage inflicted upon them by the accursed

Huns.

"We are fighting In France to make -jertaln forever that men may have the rltrht to govern themselves. Here,

vhere we have the right, we shall ex 3rcise It, now and always.

"America was created for that very

privilege.

"America will answer with her

vote."

Last Year Was Worst Ever Lived by

German People, Charge in Reichstag

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Oct. 28 German newspapers received here show that sharp criticism of the German military policy was voiced in debate during a sitting of the main committee of the relchstag late in September. Deputy Adolph Groeber, of the center, party; Philipp Schiedemann, the socialist leader and now secretary of state without portfolio in Prince Maximilian's government; Deputy Fischbeck, of the people's progressive party and Dr. Gustav Stresemann, of the national liberal party, were the chief critics. The keynote of their remarks was that the military policy reduces the civil government to the role of a puppet. According to the Vorwaerts of September 26, the address of Herr Groeber was the greatest surprise of the

iiav in thn nast ne has Deen a

strong supporter of the militarist forces. During the debate, he turned

upon Chancellor Von Hertling ana also General von Stein, Prusian war minister, accusing the latter of having forbidden meetings in favor of the peace resolution passed by the reichstag in July, 1917. Philipp Schiedemann was unsparing In his criticism of conditions which have arisen during recent months. He said, in part: "The last year has been the worst ever lived by the German people. It was believed that, following the conclusion of peace in the east, a military superiority had been created in the west. In fact, we have been deceived'. Authoritative circles have underestimated the enemy and this underestimation has been communicated suggestively to the people. It has not been possible, as a military thought to crush the enemy. We will on the contrary, be compelled to do our utmost in avoiding being crushed ourselves. "Vice Chancellor Von Payer endeavored, in his speech at Stuttgart, to Justify Germany's policy in the east. He even tried to harmonize his address with remarks recently made by Dr. W. S. Solf, the secretary of state for colonies. This was a difficult undertaking for Dr. Solf probably

would have spoken quite differently if he had been acquainted with the treaties supplementary to the BrestLitovsk convention. Jt ls very characteristic that Dr. Solf as a member of the government knew nothing of

these treaties. "The time la irrevocably passed, when the peoples will be willing to spill their blood for dynastic reasons.

It has been impossible to bring our

full force to bear upon the vestern front, because, as a result of our eastern policy, German troops must

be kept in great strength in the east" According to the Vorwaerts, the at

titude of the German government relative to the first Austrian peace note caused surprise in Berlin. "There is a cleft in the alliance," the newspaper says. Civil authorities are overruled by the military on : many occasions, according to the report of the debate in the main committee. Herr Schiedemann said that "at the order of the military some pox porter forbids a deputy to discuss a question which today engrosses the entire attention of the German public." It is pointed out that he referred to franchise reform. Herr Schiedemann said that the efforts of the military to "beat down every free emotion among the people"

had the result of making conditions at

the front "worse and worse."

Ex-Czar Showed Lack

of Interest in Russia

(By Associated Press)

MOSCOW, Oct. 28 Indifference to 'fce fflte of Russia was betrayed by

Nicholas Romanoff, the former em leror, in parts of his diary made pub

ic by the Soviet authorities. The

welfare of Russia was scarcely men-

'ioned in entries for several weeks

ifter the Kerensky revolution. Nicholas' thoughts were wholly oc

cupied with his own personal well-

being, and such entries as "I have

ilept well and soundly" frequently ap

pear even under dates - Immediately

following the great events which de

prived him of his throne. The diary also reveals his great affection for his family and mother to whom he always affectionately refers as "dear mother." An Incident with former Crown Prince Alexis' toy gun revealed to Nicholas the changed conditions in the army. He tells of it in the following entry: "I finished sawing the tree trunks of the first section. Alexis was playing with his gun on the island. The sharpshooters who were walking in the garden noticed it and asked the guard officer to take it away from him, and carried it to the guard room. Later it transpired that it was taken, for some reason or other, to the town hall. Fine officers who dare not refuse common soldiers!" i

Her daughter was not at home but when she returned from a call she found her mother unconscious and gasping. Two doctors were summoned by she died about thirty minutes later. Her children could give no explanation of, the act other than the fact that she might have been despondent over ill-health. IThey stated that there was no immediate domestic difficulty. She is survived by two sons, Roy and William, and one daughter. Pearl. The body was taken to Middletown,

Ohio, for burial.

STARVATION WINTER FACING RUSSIA

LONDON, Oct 28 (Correspondence of the Associatel Press.) A winter of The Associated Press.) A winter of starvation is a safe prediction for Russia. Indications are that it will be one of the worst winters the Russian people have experienced in all their history. All summer the food situation in Russia, particularly in Moscow, Petrograd and other large cities has been steadily growing more and more acute. In the latter part of August, before the writer left Moscow,, bread, or that mixture of straw, oat husks and other ingredients of unknown origin which Moscow inhabitants are inducted to accept as bread, had almost entirely disappeared, and certain city districts had not received the usual allowance for nearly a week. The government had classified the

population into categories, whereby

workingmen . and government em

ployes received a larger allowance,

while professionals and well-to-do peo

ple get the smallest which in Moscow amounts to one-sixteenth of a pound. In Petrograd the hourgeots or middle class fared poorly on an, allowance of

three herrings a day.

The shortage of bread Is largely due to the governmen's short-sighted poli

cy in fixing a low price for grain which

did not even cover the farmer's ex

penditure, let alone profit The peas

ants refused to comply with the decree to turn over all grain in excess

of a certain arbitrarily fixed amount

to the food committee, and when the latter were re-enforced by a detach

ment of armed "bread crusaders," the peasants gathered from several vil

lages and offered resistance, frequent

ly putting the crusaders to flight.

But even if the government prices

were much higher, the peasants would

not willingly exchange their grain for

worthless money, of which they seem

to have much and which has no prac

tical value to them. They want manufactured goods, which the government is unable to furnish, as most of the factories are idle, for lack of fuel and raw material, and also because the Bolshevik! need the workmen to fight

on the numerous fronts.

UABIS, Oct 27. Lieut . Henry S. Wise, of Longbranch, N. J., an American Red Cross canteen officer, has been cited a second time for the French war cross. The citation says that during heavy fighting from Oct. 10 to Oct. 14, he displayed bravery in supplying hot drinks .to Czecho-Slovak soldiers.

Don't Soap Windows This Year, Boys; If s Unpatriotic "It's unpatriotic to soap windows." Every patriotic boy in Richmond will paste this dictum In his cap and keep it there until Hallowe'en season Is ancient history. - Here's .the reason- Soap contains fats and oils. These are badly needed for war . purposes. Every ounce foolishly applied to windows is an ounce taken from war purposes. If 500 ounces are wasted in Richmond and the boys in other cities waste soap in the same proportion, many thousands of pounds will be usedvfoolishly.

"Air Loneliness" Is

Now Unkeardof

Germans Told Americans Will Cut Heads Off

if Taken Prisoners

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES, Oct. 28. German officers are now telling their soldiers that all German prisoners taken by the United States troops have their heads cut off when

taken to the rear. The obvious pur

pose of this is to prevent the men from giving themselves up voluntar

ily to the Americans, as hundreds of

them have lately done. Sitting in an American field hosnltal

today were two young German pris

oners who had been brought in by a

BrooKiyn sergeant, a lad of only 20.

One was slightly wounded. The other was sobbing and pleading with the surgeon to save him from having his head cut off, which is said he understood from his commanding officer

would be his fate.

The doctor assured the frightened

German that the Americans were not quite, as savage as all that; but the

prisoner was sun trembling and grieving as he was led to the rear of the American line by a corporal.

LONDON, Oct 28. "Air loneliness," which the military aviator experienced two .and a half years ago is never heard of now. Formation flying, two and three seated machines, a erstem of telephones and so much observation work to attend to, has done away with the loneliness which the aviator experienced when he flew over many miles of hostile country without meet

ing friend or foe. In the modern two-seater, the observer sits close to the pilot. Telephones can be used for conservation and messages can be written on fixed writing pads, or the pilot can switch off his engine and so produce momentary silence, for a talk.

Kansas Off on Another Billion Bushel Wheat Drive (By Associated Press) TOPEKA, Kas., Oct 28. Kansas Is off for a good start on another 100,000,000 bushel wheat drive, according to J. C. Mohler, secretary of the State Board of Agriculture. Secretary Mohler predicts the wheat acreage being planted- this fall will equal that of last year, which, according to his statistics, yielded a crop of 101,000.000 bushels. The season for planting winter wheat has been Ideal in nearly all parts of the state, the rainfall having been sufficient to keep the ground in excellent condition. The Kansas crop of wheat almost exclusively winter wheat was one-flftn of the total win-1 ter wheat crop of the nation, the state

ranking flrst by a wide margin in I wheat production.

Housewives Now More Than Ever Before Realize the Importance of Purity in Food Products While on my lecture tours, meeting housewives in all sections of the country I have observed that women are now wide awake to the vital necessity of utmost purity in articles of food. It used to be that unscrupulous manufacturers were at liberty to foist rankly adulterated food stuffs on the unsuspecting housewife. This production of low grade, frequently worthless and often injurious merchandise gained such strides that the government stepped in with Pure Food legislation and checked it. This measure of protection aroused housewives to the situation and the importance of purity in articles of table use. And as a result of this awakening wise housewives have set a higher standard of purity than the Food Lawa demand. The federal and state authorities have cut off to a great extent the manufacturer of products of an' injurious nature. The great majority of housewives have gone even farther and insist on absolute purity. Take Baking Powder for example. There are many different brands of baking powders on the market. All that art on the market are made withia the limits of the law art as pure as the law dsmands. But there are other things to be taken into consideration will they give the. best results are they economical in use? The housewife now insists that baking powder be as pure as it can be made. That it possess no impurities no adulterant no useless fillers no injurious properties of any sort They want and are entitled to a baking powder so proportioned and blended it remains pure in the baking. After testing many different brands of baking powders, I am thoroughly convinced that Calumet Baking Powder extends far beyond the standards of purity demanded by the food laws. Critical experiments establish the fact that Calumet leaves no harmful residue, as do many powders that comply with pure food requirements. The bakings it produces are not only light, fluffy and tasty but wholesome and healthful which really is the final test of a baking powder's purity. ; The housewife of today wants something better than "just as good." She wants the best, and in my articles on Baking .Powder I have no hesitancy in recommending Calumet . ' - . .
