CLOSE FIGHT FOR
SENATE MAJORITY
37 Vacancies to Bo Filled at
Coming Election Five
Caused by Death.
G.O.r. HOrES BRIGHTENING
Indications Point to Possibil
ity of Dominating Uppor
Houso by Four.
Srtciat Dxpatch to THS 8c.
YTabiiihciton, Oct. 10. The possibility
4 an evenly divided Senate bb a result
rtf'tho' forthcoming election Is presented
In the surface Indication of the battle
Jtow joint: on In the States that have
eats In Uio upper house to nil this fall.
t either side has a marclii at all Rs a
result of the voting It apparently will bo
small one.
While the hopes of the Itepubllcans
for garnlns the Senato are brightening,
ytt they have so much further to go to
make aure their domination of the upper
house that even with the political swing
quite their way there Is scant assurance
tiiat It will swing them Into power.
The Senate at present Is composed of
flfty-two Democrats and forty-four He
publicans. In tho coming elections
thirty-two vacancies occasioned by ex
piration of terms are to be filled. In ad
dition there will be on election In New
Hampshire to nil the unexpired term of
Senator Galllngcr (Republican), an elec
tion in Louisiana to 1111 the unexpired
'term of Senator Broussard (Democrat),
an election In Nevada to nil the unex
pired term of Senator Newlands (Demo
crat), one in Idaho to nil the unexpired
"term of Senator Brady (Republican),
and one In Missouri to nil the unexpired
term of Senator Stone (Democrat), all
.lira of whom have died In the course of
the present Congress.
Vacancies Caused by Heath.
In each of the cases above cited n
Senator has died. In all of them the
date of expiration of the term would
have beon March 3. 1921. There have
been other deaths In the Senate, but all
were included In the class of 1MJ. The
appointed Incumbents In all the cases
cited will either be returned or replaced
in the elections of November R,
The Republicans aro apparently pretty
certain of success Jn two States where a
Democrat Is to-day the sitting member.
This must not be taken to mean that there
are not numerous other opportunities for
the Republicans to register a rhIii: In
deed tho chances favor the Republicans
In five States. But two seats regarded
a certainties are thoso in Illinois ana
Kansas.
In Illinois the campaign of Represen
tative Metllll McCormlck to succeed
James Hani Lewis has been under way
for weeks. McCormlck Is making a su
perb run. The swing is with him, and
the IlUonlsans are reported to be- pay
ing scant heed to the despairing Demo
cratic efforts for votes for Lewis on the
ground that a vote against htm is a
vote of lack of confidence in the Presi
dent. Normally the State is heavily Re
puhUcan anyway.
Capper Abend In Kansas.
In Kansas Arthur Capper? who won
the Governorship In 1916 by. a,, majority
of 150,000, is running away from Sena
tor William H. Thompson. Capper's
election la regurded as certain.
Tills eliminates two Democrats from
the present Senate roster, and without
other changes would leave the Senate
standing Democrats 50, Republicans 46.
But there aro three other States
where Republicans have the edge dis
tinctly on their Democratic opponents.
These States aro Delaware, whore Sen
ator Saulsbury Is being fought by a re
organized and pacified Republican or
ganization In a "pocket borough" with
a normal Republican majority of 3,000
to combat : Nevada, where Ithe plain but
popular Ed Roberts, now a Representa
tive, is the Republican candidate against
Senator Charles Henderson, and the
fight complicated by the presence of
Miss Ann Martin, National Woman's
party, running as an Independent, and
iew Hampshire, where George it.
Moses, Republican, and John D. Jamie
son, Democrat, arc contesting for the
Galllnser seat. '
The election In the same State of Gov.
H. W. Keyco, Republican, to the seat to
be vacated by Senator Hollls, Democrat,
on March a, seems to bo almost a cer
tainty at this time.
, flow G. O. I. Can Get Majority
Republican victories In these States
with no compensatory losses by Republi
cans elsewhere would make the Senate
stand, Rpubllcans 49, Dmocrats 47.
In Idaho there are two Senators to
be elected. Senator Hornli Is a candi
date to euooeed himself. There Is every
reason to believe he will bo successful.
Situation In Montana.
This is nearly although not iiulte the
extreme measure of possible Republican
gains. There Is not an absolute cer
tainty that Senator Walsh, Democrat,
will bo returned In Montana. The In
trusion of Representative Jeannette
Rankin, defeated In the Republican
primaries, as an Independent candidate
has complicated the situation.
The. third eventuality which might
send a Republican to represent a Dem
ocratic State In tho Senato Is Missouri.
Adding the three outside chances to
the foregoing Republican possibilities the
extreme limit of possible Republican
gain Is found to make u Senato with
S3 Republicans, 43 Democrat.
Thero seems to be at this time on ele
ment of danger for only three Repub
lican seats In the Senate as now consti
tuted. In 191C Rhode Island surprised
the whole nation by returnlng"Senator
Peter Ooclct Gerry, a Democrat, In place
of Senator I.lppltt, Republican. This
year. Representative George V.
O'Shaughnessy, Democrat, is running
against Ijb naron Colt, the Republican
Incumbent. Here is a chnnco for a Dem
ocratic gain of one seat.
A bitter light is In progress in West
Virginia, with Clarence Watson, Demo
crat, millionaire, trying It out with Davis
Elkins, Republican, millionaire, for the
seat vacated by the retirement of Sen
ator Nathan Goff, Watson may over
come the normal Republican majority,
which has from tlmo to time showed
signs of disintegration In late years, and
may pull through. Here is presented an
other opportunity for Democratic gain.
Clinnco lor 'Democrats.
Therefore the openings for Democratic
ealna total three In States now repre
sented by Republicans, and this Is the
limit of gains of this sort unless tlje un
expected should happen In .Michigan and
.Henry Ford carry tho State ns an Inde
pendent running with indorsement of
the Democratic party. If he does this
be must transform a Republican normal
majority of about 80,000 tp a Demo
cratic plurality.
Analyzing down to the last measure,
of probability tho Indications at this
tlmo would seem to point to a Repub
Ilcan gain of four seats. If the Demo
crats gain nono the Senate of tho Slxtv
Uln Congress will be ilWMed. Repub
nicm " i. Democrats. 45, and Thomas

FREE TRADE POLICY
AN AID TO GERMANY
G. O. P. ShotVM Peril in One of
Wilson's Peace Terms,
SpecUl DtipatcX to Tax Sir,
Wasiiinoton, Oct. 20. -Declaring that
the Democratia party la committed to a
freo trade policy the Republican Con.
gresalonal Committee In a statement to
night calls attention to this clause In
one of President Wilton's fourteen peace
terms:
"Tho removal as far as possible of
all economic barriers and the establish
ment of an equality of trade conditions
among all nations consenting to the
peace and associating themselves for Its
maintenance."
This is a positive declaration," says
the Republican Congressional Commit
tee, "that the treaty of peace must guar
antee to Germany free trade with the
United States without any tariff safe
guards whatever to protect the Ameri
can laborer, manufacturer and business
man from foreign competition In his
home markets.' t
Under such a policy Germany, It is
Insisted, would buy raw materials In
this country, manufacture these mate
rials in Germany and sell the manufac
tured products In American markets in
competition with similar products made
by American manufacturers without the
slightest tariff restrictions for the pro
tection of American labpr, business and
farming. '
"Free tralle nbmluto and complete,
with all Its tremendous Ills, looms In the
near future under n continuation of
Democratic rule," saya the statement.
"A Republican House and Senato
elected In November would be a guaran
tee to the peoblo that a freo tariff dis
aster would be prevented. A Republican
Senate would never agree to a treaty
of peace giving free trade privileges to
Germany."
25,000,000 TOTAL
LOAN SUBSCRIBERS
t'oudiiufd rom Fint Page.
this committee, but the number of
pledges to be looked up after the banks
have sorted those on which no payments
have been made Is expected to be very
heavy this week.
Reports of subscriptions made thou
sands of milts away In other lands be
gan arriving yesterday. From Vladi
vostok It was stated that subscriptions
of $76,000 were received by a committee
there and that final tabulations may
show a total of $350,000. Mexico also
came forward in a gratifying manner,
with 52,350,000 of subscriptions against
lta allotment of 31,040,000. Mexico city
alone subscribed more than tho quota
for tho entire republic
Panama Doubles Allotment.
The showing was considered very
good because of the reduction In the
number of Americans residing in Mex
ico, Many Mexicans and members of
the allied colonies were found on the
subscription lists. Panama, with a
quota of $1,000,000, took double that
amount and the subscribers Included
men of a dozen nationalities and races.
Everywhere, men in Important walks
of life had nothing but praise for the
achievement of tho American people.
Alfred K. Smith, Democratic candidate
for Governor, in commenting on the
drive said:
"The people of the United State have
stood nobly by the President in the
6,u00,000 Liberty Loan. I felt there
would bo no doubt about the Loan. I
talked to' hundreds of thousands and
never looked upon more determined
faces than those of tho citizens who
rallied at the meetings.
"The Loan total la stupendous and
will astonish tho world : our enemies as1
well as our friends. Think of it! In
three weeks on the apepal of the Presi
dent we raited six times as much as
the German autocracy demanded to
ransom all Franco after the war of
1S70."
A few of the details of the work
accomplished by the Police Department,
tho Fire Department and the public
schools began to come to light yester
day. Tabulations show that the police
sold 13.705 coupon books for $30 and
flOO bonds, that the Fire Department
disposed of 8,170 books, and the public
schools 7,810 books, outside of the many
millions of subscription? that were gath
ered by these departments.
xri,0ir,0OO Sold nt Aator.
The large amount of subscriptions
taken at Liberty bond booths at hotels
and theatres Is coming in for much dis
cussion. Miss Leroy, captain of the
Liberty Loan booth In tho Hotel Astor,
claims flrfct place among the hotel
boo (hp. having sold $3,915,000 of bonds
during the campaign.
Kmployecs of railroads rallied with
such vigor tho Secretary McAdoo has
been moved to compliment .those roads
of which 100 per cent, of their cm
ployees subscribed. There were nve of
these, the Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western ; Iehlgh and Hudson ; Hudson
and New Rngland: Buffalo Creek, and
Grand Rapids and Indiana. In a letter
to E. M. Rlne, general manager of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western,
Secretary McAdoo says:
"I have Just received the splendid re
port showing that October 14 100 per
cent of the :z.l2 employees of the
Delaware, I,ackawnnna nnd Western
Railroad had subscribed to the Fourth
Liberty Loan u total of $3,177,050 or
nn aerage of $98.2$ each. This Is u,
wonderful record nnd I hope that you
will convey my hearty congratulations
to the ofllcinls and employees of tho rail
road under your management.
Iltscnuraffemcnt for Kaiser.
"Yours Is tho nrst of the larger rail
roads to attain a 100 per cent, sub
scription In the Fourth Liberty Loan
and for this reason I am immensjly
rroud of the record. This Is the kind
of message, which will take discourage
ment tr the Italsor.
Tho Intensive campaign carried on by
the American Junior 'Naval and Marine
Kcoutw Is expected to result In total sub.
scrlptlons from tho country of as much
as $15,000,000 of Liberty Bonds. (n
New Vork the subscriptions numbered
3.i15 for a total of $1,166,300. an
Francisco reported sales of $760,000 by
members of that organization, while
Detroit purchased $320,000 from them.
In rne small town, where the population
is nttut 1,000, sales amounted to $17,000.
Lrte reports from Chicago said fifti-
se.ven counties outside of that city had
taken $119,968,500 of bonds, or J6.S6S,-

AL' SMITH GREETS
NEIGHBORS' CLUB
Democratic Candidate for Gov
ernor Says Ho Will Stick
to Oliver StreoK
FOURTH WARD TURNS OUT
Men and Women Attend Old
Fashioned Political Gather
ing in Honor of Idol.
Even if he should be elected Governor
of New York Alfred E. Smith still would
be "Al" Smith to his frienda In the Old
Fourth Ward. In openlnc his campaign
yesterday at a meeting of the Old Neigh
bora' Committee, at Centre and Reade
streets, "Al" assured his friends that he
will never, never forget Oliver street.
"I expect to win," he told them, "but
win or lose you can rest assured that I
intend always to be known to my friends
as 'Al' Smith."
It had been planned that the Old
Nelghobra' meeting would be only for
those voters who have lived near and
known Alfred E. Smith In the Old Fourth
Ward, but when the announcements were
sent out the response was so unexpected
that Oliver street's most prominent citi
zen managed to arrange things so that
lie could appear in person.
Magistrate Thomas J. Nolan, who pre
sided, explained all this.
or course there was a lot of applause
from the audience which had come to
the small hall when "Al" sbwd up- The
noise was kept up until Mr. Smtlli had to
raise his hand before he could speak.
He thanked his friends for the meeting,
told them that he believed that ho would
be elected, and that the Democratic party
had never before in twenty years been
so united. He explained that the epi
demic of Influenza running through the
State has curtailed up State campaign
activities, hut made no reference to his
statement of Saturday that the prohibi
tion of meetings was the work of the op
position. "It would be a signal honor for the
lower part of the city to have the Gov
ernor of this State living in Oliver
street." he said. "Other Governors have
abandoned their homes to make them In
Albany. Gov. Hughes went to Albany
and voted from a New York Hotel. Gov.
Sulzer, who really never lived In the
tower part of the city, did the same thing
and Gov. Whitman votes with his wife
from the St. Regis.
"I live on Oliver street and you can
rest assured that when I come to New
Tork I will come to Oliver street.
"In the laat twenty-six years there
have bn only two Democratic Gov
ernors of the Stato of New Vork. If
the Democrats stand and work together
now I feel that enough of the Republi
can voters of the State who desire pro
gressive government will vote for me to
elect tne."
As soon as he had nnlshed his speech
"Al" started for the door to keeD other
political appointments, but It was some
time oerore he could tear himself awaf
from his friends and well wishers who
slapped him on the back, called him "Al
and were Immediately recognized as
"Patrick," "Mrs. Brophy," Thomas and
the like. As he slipped throuih the door
he turned for a moment:
"Oood-by, everybody," he railed out.
"Oood-by, 'Al,' " responded the crowd
and turned to the business of working for
votes for him.
Among those who attended were Je
rome Healr, John Heycr, Mrs. Mar
garette Kiley. Senator James Walker,
Jeremiah Haggerty, Simon P. Flanncry,
Andrew J. McCarthy, Thomas Barry,
Walter B. Coughlln, Frank J. O'Connor,

WILSON ASKED TO
RECOGNIZE POLAND
Petition Sent to President
Calling: for Same Status as
Czecho-Slovnks.
PADEREWSKI IN APPEAL
Prominent Americans Join in
Address That Points to Dan
ger of German Rnlo.
A petition asking President Wilson to
recognize the Polish nation, as he has
recognized the Czecho-Slovak nation and
the aspire' Ions of the Jugoslavs, In on
Its way to Washington. It was prepared
by a committee which Included the pian
ist Paderewskl, who with Mmc. Pade
rewska was) entertained recently at
luncheon by the National Ctvlo Federa
tion. At this luncheon the terms of the
petition were discussed and were set
forth by Paderewsnr and others.
Should Germany be allowed to retain
her present holdings In Russia and
Poland, despite A military defeat on the
western front. Mr. Paderewskl declared
she could In a few years rehabilitate
herself and ugaln prepare for future
wars of aggression. By controlling the
vast riches und unlimited raw products
of Russia, and by employing cheap In
dian and Chinese coolie labor, against
which other nations could not compete,
Oermany, said Paderewskl, could elimi
nate nit other ramiwlllnr. In tv
and paralyze tho wholo Industry of the
Unttd States.
To block Germany's carefully made
plane and to secure tho future peace of
the world It la essential, said Mr. Pade
rewskl. that he Allies at the peace table
set up a free and Independent Polish na
tion. l'l.tul at World's Heart.
"Napoleon once said that he who holds
Antwerp will he pointing a pistol at
Entland's heart," eald Mr. Paderewskl.
"That Is true. However zerlous may be
such a situation, the menace of Ger
mans 'a holding of the entire Polish ter
ritory would be much more injurious to
numantty. to tho world at large, than
her possession of Antwerp.
"If you are going to allow any com
promise to be made at the , end of this'
war. if there la to be concluded a peace
which will not clear the situation, which
will not establish freedom and Justice in
Europe, all your sacrifices In man power
will havo been In vain. You know per
fectly well that Germany did not start
this war for glory alone. For her this
war Is a war for raw material, cheap
labor, and for the markets of the entire
world.
"Germany has no raw materials. Her
natural resources are meagre, limited,
and yet she has been a great manufac
turing and commercial country. Every
thing In the form of raw materials ahe
drew from other countries, and chiefly
from America Iron, copper, timber, cot
ton, oil, foodstuffs. If Germany Is per
mitted to retain what she has succeeded
In stealing from the mass of anarchy
and corruption In Russia she will have
not only the Ukraine, the virgin forests
of northern Russia, the oil flelds of
Baku, the cotton flelds of Turkestan, the
untouched riches of the Urals, platinum,
gold, silver, copper. Iron, tin, zinc, tung
sten and unlimited quantities of coal, but
the ways to China and India, the largest
human reservoirs, will be open to her
and within a few years if there is no in
terventlnn, no interference, no resistance
on the Eastern front, Germany will havo
millions and millions of Indian ami
Chlneso coolies happy to work for 10
cents a day, thus enabling her to pro
duce everything possible for the world's
requirements.
"Sho will have a national industry of
her own which will be a universal In
dustry. She will produce everything
without having to piy anything to any
one. And with that Industry the United
States will not be able to compete on
account of your wages, ten, twenty,
thirty times moro than what sho will
pay to thoo Indian and Chlneso coolies.
Tou see what It will mean to your own
country If Oermany Is allowed to re
tain what ahe already calls hers. It
will Involve not only tho European con
tinent but the Asiatic continent as well.
"Your unparalleled Industry, your In
comparable production will be reduced
to a production for home consumption
only. Your entire national life will be
paralyzed. Your mines will be ahut
down. Tour Industrial cities will be de
serted. The source of your energy, your
spirit of enterprise, your wonderful In.
ventlvo genius, will dry out Tho whole
Industrial life of the nation wilt die out
"It la a positive fact that this la Ger
many's plan and she Is going to carry It
out quickly, systematically and effi
ciently as ever, If there Is no Interven
tion The majority of your people, in
cluding almost every one In Washings
ton, bolleve that the solution of the e-n-tiro
problem Is jolnjr to tnko place on
the western front. It Is an erroneous
Idea. Germany Is willing to sb ndon
everything in the west provided you
give her a free hand in Russia and Po
land. What Is the way to prevent Oer
many from carrying out her designs?"
concluded Mr. Paderewskl. "There Is
no other way but by separating Russia
from Germany, The only way to sep
arate Russia from Germany Is cre
ating a powerful Polish state."

obtaining tho President's support for
free and Independent Poland are Aujust

wearing medals tor gallantry in the Doer
War, the Zulu rebellion and tho present
war. landed ..yesterday at an Atlantic
port and started for Montreal to see
some of his disabled comrades of the,
Forty-eighth Canadian Highlandero, wl I
whom lin went to tno western battle
front. He told how ha had volunteered
for a aapplnir operation under the Ger
man front line more than a year ago,
had been blown up by countermining,
forced to surrender and. after eomo time
In prison camps, had escaped Into Hol
land, making- a flight of 125 miles across
Oermany.
Private Batehelor. with, eeven outer
soldiers, all unarmed, had been working
In the heading of the eap. while others
were In the wings, thirty feet under
ground, when the Germans touched off
their mine. The men in the wings were
killed and he and his seven comrades
were, trapped In tho heading by tons of
earth that closed the opening.
They waited eight hours, hoping they
would be dug out by their command,
and then, finding they might be suffo
cated, decided to make on effort to dig
themselves out. It waa not until later
they learned tho Huns had driven tha
English back and that the men under
ground were J00 feet within the Ger
man lines. After hours of hard work
they rediscovered daylight
Sappers Taken Prisoner.
One of the sappers put his eye to a lit
tle hole and saw on the other side a
squad of Hurm with rifles and hand gre
nades, against which picks and ehovehi
would make no Impression. Tho Briton
were mad prisoner one by one aa they
crawled through tho enlarged opening.
Private Batchelor was marched with
others to Menln, Belgium, whenfe he
finally reached the big German camp nt
Mlnden, about fifty miles from Hanover.
In the nine months he waa thero he was
saved from starvation by the generosity
of other British prisoners who were get
ting food In Bed Cross packages through
HwlUerland. He weighed 1S5 pounds
when captured, and aftenhla experience
in German prison oampa and the hard
ships of hla escape his weight dropped to
115 pounds. He decided after his first
week's experience ae a prisoner that he
would escape. His opportunity came
when, with others, he was ordered, aa a
punishment, to work In the mines.
"We were put aboard a train, and I
shared a compartment with five other
prisoners." Batchelor said. "The guards

after we pulled out' of the station and
while another tram was passing on an
other track I opened the window and

I was merely bruised. I mado for the
nearest woods und when daylight came
I studied a map of Westphalia that a
Ituselan prisoner had given me, ami
found that I was 125 mites from the
Dutch border. I had got from my
comrades, to whom I confided my plan
of escaping, about three pounds of bread,
which 1 stored In a haversack made of
an old German special mall bag.
"After -staying all day In the woods,
drinking water from a ditch, I started
for the Holland border, to the north
