LLOYD GEORGE WILL ASK FOR MANDATE ON IRISH NEGOTIATIONS By Associated Press) LONDON, Oct. 28. Prime Minister Lloyd George will confront the house of commons next Monday and ask for a mandate relative to the continuance of the negotiations between delegates of the government and the dail eireann. Announcement to this effect by the prime minister yesterday brought to a head the seemingly serious situation which has developed during the past fortnight by the alleged defection of unionist leaders and constituencies from the support of the coalition government.

MORAL OBLIGATION HOLDS REPUBLICANS TO BESCHER RELLER "Everyone claiming to be a Republican has a moral obligation to vote for Baltz Bescher for mayor at the coming city election,"-, declared Will W. Reller, before a large meeting held at Republican headquarters Thursday night. "He has honestly arfd fairly won over a large field of candidates in the primary, securing almost as many votes as the next two candidates combined. No one can say that any clique or influence was behind his candidacy with ulterior motives. "All defeated candidates at the primary owe it to themselves and to their party to work vigorously for the election of Baltz Bescher, not for him as an individual merely, but because he now stands as the nominee of the party and has a right to expect his party's support. "There is also a further reason for supporting Bescher." Mr. Reller said. -That is because he is undoubtedly qualified for the position. We have been seeking a business administration. By his experience and temperament Baltz Bescher is peculiarly fitted to give us that kind of city government. His eight years as city clerk and four years as city controller, with his knowledge of the city's needs, tfill be of great value to him. Guards City Treasury. "He has been known as the watchdog of the city treasury as controller. At this time when we are seeking economic city government, and lower taxes, this faculty of his will be of great value to the city.

Men Are Clean "There isn't any denying that Handley is a clean and good man, and I regard him as a personal friend, but he is no cleaner or better than Baltz Bescher and in this instance, if a man claims to be a Republican he ewes' it to himself and party to vote for Bescher because he is the nominee of that party." Mr. Reller said that because of the present lethargy among Republicans he thought that if the election was to be held now Handley would be elected, but that with an intensive campaign from now on, and with a personal effort to get votes in on election day, Baltz Bescher could be elected by a substantial vote. Stories Untrue. Ray Shiveley said that he divided the Democratic campaign into two classes, one misrepresentation, and the other, "soft soap." He said that under the head of mis representation were the stories circulated to the effect that certain prominent business men and Republicans were not supporting Bescher. He said (Continued on Page Seven) CONFERS WITH CHARLES REGARDING ABDICATION BUDAPEST, Oct. 23.

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Oct 28. A mighty bombardment of cheers greeted Marshal Foch when he steamed into New York today on the liner Paris, to sit with his American buddies at their

legion's convention in Kansas City. Tumultuous thousands lined the water front to welcome the grey-haired little man, soldier of France, and citizen of the world, who had held the allies' cards in the great game of war, and had turned the trick. Up the harbor he came, escorted by fleet destroyers and soaring sea planes to the boom of guns from forts guarding the harbor's mouth, great blasts from whistles afloat and ashore, and resounding cheers for the man who had out-Napoleoned as a tactician. To greet him at quarntine was the navy cutter, Vigilant, bearing Ambas sador Jusseand, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt, Alton T. Roberts, of the American legion, and national and state officials. Goes to Washington. Marshal Foch was to be transferred to the Lexington and brought to the battery where he will first set foot on American soil and receive greetings on behalf of the state from Lieut. Gov ernor Woods. From the battery he will be conducted through the canyons of Lower Broadway to city hall, where he will receive the freedom of the city from Mayor Hylan. The Marshal will leave late in the day for Washington, where tomorrow he has a luncheon engagement with the President and Mrs. Harding. He will leave on Sunday for Kansas City to attend the American Legion convention after which he plans an extended tour. Marshal Ferdinand Foch might well be called the fighting professor. One of . the foremost lecturers on military subjects in Europe, he won honors on the early battlefields of the world war and in its last .yeari-as the supreme commander of an allied force of 10.000,000 men, successfully practised the strategy he had preached so many years in the French War college. The morning of November 11, 1918, found him, a marshal of France, sitting in his private car behind the lines, smoking his pipe and waiting, in the unnatural calm that followed the hushing of the big guns, the coming of the German envoys to ask for peace at the Allies' price. The professor's theories of strategy and moral force in warfare had been vindicated. Foch fought in the Franco-Prussian war as a second lieutenant, as did Joffre. They were both born in the south of France. Foch worked for the

rest of his life with the shame and'frnm vPW York to the west coast is

humiliation of that debacle in his mind. He studied the battlefields of that war until he knew them as well as his own backyard. He studied the German war machine, the psychology of its leaders, the reasons for their mistakes and their successes. Wrote Text Books Later, as a professor in the War college, he wrote text books on the conduct of war and the principles of war. He worked with enthusiasm and patnotic fervor to indoctrinate the young French officers with the principle of the offensive at all costs. Battles are won morally, as well as materially, he said, and he stressed the moral element in modern warfare. As a general commanding a force of 120,000 men, Foch found himself opposed by a German army of 200,000 men at the first battle of the Marne in 1914. As the battle progressed, aides rushed in to warn him both his wings were being pushed back. "We must attack in the center." said Foch. .r. .1,- l Order up ihe Moroccans. The German center, composed of Prussian guards, the flower of their army, gave way under this unexpected onslaught and later airplane observation brought news to Foch of a gap in the German line. He pushed in a wedge of infantry, supported by heavy artillery, and dawn found the Germans in a panic and retreat." DENIES CHINA OFFERED SHANTUNG PROPOSALS (By Associated Press) PEKING, Oct. 28. Dr. Yen, the Chinese foreign secretary has answered the demand of certain public bodies for an explanation of his alleged desire, expressed to Yukichi Obata, the Japanese minister, to enter into negotiations with regard to the Shantung controversy and of the statement that Chinese officials had confidentially presented to the Japanese government terms for a settlement of the issue. Mr. Yen denied the charge. He said the Chinese government would shortly issue a statement to the newspapers in an endeavor to clear the govern - ment of the charges. The Pekin Leader, in an editorial says that it will be impossible to hold the Shantung negotiations in either Peking or Tokio. It suggests that the delegates to the approaching Washington conference confer informally and settle the matter tentatively and that the conference on Pacific questions endorse the settlement or arbitrate the matter. The newspaper says it believes that such action taken in Washington would not be objectionable to the Chinese people.

32 NEW SENATORS. HOUSE OF 435 MEMBERS,

8 GOVERNORS, CHOSEN AT POLLS NEXT YEAR

PALLADIUM EWS BUREAU WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. Political skirmishing which has been going on in the senate of late is irritating to those who are impatient for tax revision and other important legislation, but it is not surprising when it is realized that elections will be held next year to fill the offices of 32 senators whose terms expire March 3, 1923. Incidentally an entire new house of representatives, comprising 435 members and governors of eight states will be elected in November, 1922. Debates in the house of late have been liberally sprinkled with politics, for some of the nominating elections are only a few months off, but it is in the senate where real political warfare is being waged at this time. ' Seventeen senators who will be up for re-election next year are Republicans and fifteen are Democrats. The Republican senators are William M. BUSINESS CONDITIONS TAKE TREND TOWARD NORMALCY AT STARR Bette;jment of business conditions generally in the country is reflected in a rush of orders for pianos, phonographs and records received by the Starr Piano company, which is employing nearly as many men as last year;--- pf,jf .r--.:, .. - In some departments, night work is being done to catch up with orders which have been received at the plant. "The piano business shows an increase over last years,' said Harry Gennett, vice-president of the company. "Increasingly larger orders for phonographs and records have also j been received, and a big ennstmas business is expected." "The orders from some cities are the largest in our entire history and the distribution of the products seem to be general, excepting where we have to meet competition from cities that ship by water." Eastern Shippers Favored. "The differential in the freight rate on a single piano snipped Dy wdiei ' $25 in favor of the eastern shipper, i This i creating a serious condition for all inland shippers." Orders are ahead of production in the plant just now, said Mr. Gennett, who Is taking an optimistic view of the business situation. A revision in the railroad freight rates, he believes, will be the biggest boon business can receive at the presi ent time to restore normalcy and bring back prospnty. ROBERT F.

Application for injunctions restraining the brotherhood chiefs from carrying out the strike with orders necesj sary to conduct tnese proceeumgs were in the hands of district attorneys throughout the country ready to be presented in federal courts. The applications were drafted by Attorney General Daugherty at a conference with five district attorneys earlier in the week, and followed closely those drawn by Attorney General Richard Olney in 1894 for the injunction issued in July of that year restraining Eugene V. Debs and other Officers of the American Railway Union from " interfering with transportation of the United States mail, Mr. Clyne said. Included Three Actions The government program included two actions to prevent a tie-up in transportation and a third looking to the punishment of strike leaders through indictments for conspiracy against the public. These were to be presented to the court 24 hours before the time the strike was scheduled to begin. WASHINGTON. Oct. 28 Word that leaders of the five railroads service unions had withdrawn authorization for the railroad strike scheduled for Oct. 30, was received in official circles here with undisguised satisfaction, oficials directly interested, however, decided to withhold comment uaI til later today. While a general undercurrent of optimism over the outcome of the strike negotiations had been evidenced here since the first recognition of the crisis, administration circles had not hesitated to view . the situation as more than a threat solely against the distribution of necessities at the beginning of the winter season. Represented Test. The strike it was said represented a test primarily of the efficacy of the railroad labor board, since it would show whether that tribunal was able to prevent such situations by adjust ing the isues on which they arose, and then enforcing its decision upon both parties. That the government was prepared in the event the Chicago conference failed to side-track the walk-out, Sunday to utilize other of its powers, was indicated in instructions Rent by Attorney General Daugherty o Federal officials in Texas, and which he said, would be a model fo- similar orders to district attorneys throughout the country if the strike materialized. As an initial step the local authorities in each case would be issued a proclamation setting forth the inherent power of the government to intercede in the controversy." GOV. MORGAN'S COURSE FLAYED BEFORE SENATE (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. The course of Governor Morgan of West Virginia, with respect to mine disorders in his state was criticized before the senate investigating committee today by H. C. Ogden, publisher of the Wheeling News and the Wheeling Intelligencer. The West Virginia governor, Mr. Ogden declared had "sat still" on a party platform; pledging abolition of the mine guard Bystem, and not only had not pressed such legislation but had stood in its path. : . . , 'Mr. Ogden also told the committee that - effective- use of .the state con stabulary by the governor would have obviated the "necessity for calling in federal troops in the recent conditions of violence. He said the governor had no power to remove summarily state and local authorities who failed to function properly and that had the state executive had such powers, he believed that some of the situations leading to the uprising might never have occurred.

HAYS SLIGHTLY HURT WHEN TRAINS COLLIDE; MAIL CHIEF INJURED (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Oct. 28. PostmasterGeneral Hay3 and a score of passengers on the Midnight express of the Pennsylvania lines for Washington were badly shaken up early this morning when the express crashed in a, heavy fog into the rear of a local train at the Manhattan transfer in New Jersey. j Pennsylvania officials declarea there had been no serious injuries, although Mr. Hays expressed fear thai Rush Simmons, chief inspector of the postoffice department who had been here with Mr. Hays investigating the $1,500,000 mail robbery, had been more seriously hurt than this report indicated. He said he saw Mr. Simmons being treated at Manhattan transfer, and that he appeared to be severely hurt. Mr. Hays and a number of other passengers on the express were brought back to New York on an inbound train. A physician who examined the postmaster-general, said that aside from some strained muscles and a general shaking up he had suffered no harm. Describing the crash, Mr. Hays said he was just dozing off in his berth when he felt a shock which hurled him to the floor. Several others in his car also were pitched from their berths, he said. NORTH DAKOTA FIRST STATE TO ATTEMPTRECALL OF OFFICIALS (By Associated Press) FARGO, N. D., Oct. 28. The first recall election against state officials ever attempted in the United States is being held today in North Dakota, with the Independent Voters' association faction seeking to have its candidates oust three officials who were elected last fall with endorsement of the Non-Parti san Jpague. Governor Lynn J. Frazier, William Lemke, attorney general, and J. M. Hagan, commissioner of agriculture and labor, are the officials the independents are attempting to replace with B. A. Nestos of Minot, for governor; Sweinbjoin Johnson, of Grand Forks, for attorney general, and Joseph A. Kitchen, for commissioner. "We will swing the election to the league by a majority in excess of that last November when Governor Frazier was re-elected." said Frank Ostman, state publicity director for the league. Governor Frazier's plurality would exceed that in his re-election last year when he won by more than 4,000 votes. Submit Proposed Laws A group of proposed laws also are being submitted to the voters today as initiated measures, one of which would in the future do away with Darty designations in the election of all state officials. Another would change the member ship of the industrial commission, which supervises state-owned industries, so that the control of the com mission would pass out of the hands of the non-partisans. The governor, attorney general and commissioner of agriculture and labor now constitute the commissioner.

ROAD PAYS OVERTIME

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Oct. 28. The official recall of the rail strike orders issued by the switchmen, trainmen, conductors, engineers and firemen were dispatched today when leaders of the big five flashed code messages to their general chairmen. The chairmen will submit the messages to the locals and the official order recalling the strike will thus permeate the country in a few hours. . It was learned today that the code word calling of the strike has not yet been dispatched to the International and Great Northern trainmen, who went out last Saturday. The calling off of their strike was deferred pending determination of their orportunity to return to work. President Worthington, of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Western railway, today notified Ben W. Hooper, member of the public group of the railroad labor board, in a letter, that the road would pay time and a half for overtime dating back from Aug. 1. at which time it was eliminated until the question is definitely decided by the board. To Inform Telegraphers. Orders probably will be dispatched today by the Telegraphers organization the only other union that had voted to participate in the strike, scheduled to begin Sunday and which had threatened to tie up the nation's transportation facilities. While these orders are being cir culated the United States railroad labor board, which played an important part in the final decision of the unions, will today announce its findings as a result of the public hearing Wednesday, at which union leaders and railroad executives testified. This declaration it was expected, would analyz3 the situation and its outcome the board, according to one member, feeling the matter was now out of its hands. With the announcement this morning of the official resolution recalling the strike order, union leaders summoned here for the labor board's hearing and who remained to take . the action ending the threatened strike, were preparing to depart for their homes. Vcte Comes Late. The vote ending the strike came late last night after all-day sessions of the union leaders. Early in the day, general chairmen of each of the five organizations conferred separately. In the afternoon a joint session was held which was addressed by Ben W. Hoop er of the labor board. Mr. Hooper's appearance before the board is said by union leaders to have marked the turning point which led to the final decision. Mr. Hooper is said to have stressed the board's announcement that no further wage cuts for any class of employes will be considered until working conditions for that class of employes have been settled. He is also said to have emphasized the announcement of the rail executives made at Wednesday's hearings that no changes in either wage or working conditions will be sought except through the labor board as provided by law. Union men said they construed Mr. Hooper's remarks as indicating that nearly a year must elapse before further wage cuts could be made effective even if the roads should apply for them at once, and the Board should eventually approve them. r Vote Is Close. Both points are said to have been highly instrumental in determining the final decision of the union men who adiourned the afternoon session to hold a long night meeting. While the vote by organizations was said to have been unanimous, Union men asserted today that the vote in the various unions was close and that the firemen, in particular, long-remained obdurate. The final decision seemed pleasing to Union men, rail executives and thi labor board alike. Union leaders pointed out that they had determined that they could not strike without opposing both the labor board and the administration, while they asserted their real quarrel was with the roads. Executives Pleased. Railroad executives expressed satisfaction over the decision while members of the labor board characterized the action as one the Unions will never regret and which has averted inconceivable hardships and an Internal industrial dispute on the eve of the International conference at Washington on limitation of armaments. Labor chieftans today asserted that their action of yesterday marked tha end of all danger of a strike as the result of the strike vote taken by the Unions, no walk-out now being effective until a new vote is taken. No plans are being made for a new strike vote, W. G. Lee, chief of the trainmen said. Expect to Complete Waste Collections Next Week .
