II., Nov. 1 For mer President Taft urged Now Hamp shire voters in a speech here tonight to elect Republicans to congress so that President Wilson would be held to an unconditional surrender by Ger many and noi be allowed to make a peace by negotiation. Mr. Taft objected to the president's appeal for tho election of Democratic candidates for congress on the as sumption that n Democratic majority in 'both houses would make the presi dent unembarassed spokesman in af fairs at home and abroad. "The chnractor of the president's appeal," said Mr. Taft "discloses his utter misunderstanding of our consti tutional form of government The appeal is a demand for power during the noxt two years equal to that of the Hohenzollcrns in war and peace and accounting and reconstruction. j "He asks the American, people to entrust him with unlimited control over tho settlement of a peace that will affect them for a century when he has given many evidences of a wish to pursue a course against which their faces are set like flint, to-wil: peace by negotiation. His appeal for unre strained power is unprecedented in the annal of the country, and it is as un republlcan as it is unnecessary." Speaking of the settlement of ques tions of industrj, transportation, gov ernment ownership and operation, la bor and capital after tho Avar, Mr. Taft said the measures needed "the delib eration of an independent and courag eous congress, not under the control of tho executive and not subject to acade mic Ideals and theories, except as these modified and made practicable by a consideration of existing condi tions and a practical knowledge of what can be achieved in human na ture's daily regimen." oo PIMPLY?

Announce ment that the great German woolen mills of New. Jersey and other large manufactories through the country with an aggregate value of more than $200,000,000 will bo sold within the next two months to Americans was the answer today of A. Mitchell Palmer, alien property custodian, to the re cent note from the German govern ment protesting against disposition of former Teuton -owned Interests In the United States. German property seized in this country totals $SOO,000.000, and will soon reach $1,000,000,000 as compared with $1-1,000,000 worth of American in terests taken over in Germany, Mr. Palmer said. In line with the govern ment's policy of wiping out all the out postB of kultur in. the United States, he added, the former German companies will be sold only to persons who can satisfy tho advisory committee of the alien property office of their Ameri canism. This committee, headed by Otto T. Bannard of New York, also will decide whether or not the prices offered are fair. Chief of the manufactories to be placed upon the auction block nre the Passaic, N. J., Woolen Mills, valued at $50,000,000 principal among them tho great Worsted mills, whose appraisal at $14,000,000 has Just been completed. The Bayer company, one of the coun try's loading manufacturers of phar maceutical products and the Hoyden Chemical company, a close rival of the Bayer concern in size, also will be y sold. Most of the auctions, it was an nounced, will take place at the plants, though a few will be held In Now York. Sale of the Passaic Woolen mills, Mr. Palmer asserted, would terminate Gcrninn control of one of the largest and most important American indus tries. The first of the group of factor ies, he added, was built at moat thirty years ago by selling agents of the German Woolen kartel who brought to this country .German capital, machin ery and workmen. Under the custod ian's direction those plants have been producing woolen goods for the army and navy. The Hoyden Chemical works, Mr. Palmer declared, figured prominently In the scheme early in the European war of Hugo Schmidt, agent in this country of the Deutsche hank of Ber lin, to corner the carbolic acid market and thus prevent the allies from ob taining from America the by-product, picric acid, essential to the manufac ture of high explosives. The Bosch Magneto company, was found by the custodian to be 100 por cent German owned, while the Schutte and Koortlng company, listed as the property of Mrs. Adelbert K. Fischer of Philadelphia, actually was owned by her father, Ernest Koortlng, the "Car negie of Germany." oo FOOTBALL SEASON M k y CONTINUE COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo.. Nov. 2 That the football season In the Rocky Mountain conference will ex tend to Christmas is a probability. That there may be games on New Year's day is a possibility, Tho reason for this is to be found In the epidemic of Spanish influenza which forced postponement of games scheduled for the early part of the season. The status of football In the Rocky Mountain conference Is still somewhat uncertain however. It appeared for a time that the gamo would go ipto dis card for the season. The war's drain, on players was primarily responsible for this gloomy outlook. Then came the Spanish influenza which put a period to training and forced managers to cancel early games. The epidemic Is showing some signs of weakening, and managers are planning to fulfill their schedule agreements although they will bo somewhat tardy. The first local game was scheduled for today when Colorado college was! to meet the University of Colorado. Tho kind of team that the college will put Into tho field is uncertain.! Coach Rethgeb so fur has not been! able to put his squad through any scrimmage work. Ho hn3 n squad of forty men from which to make his se lections for the college eleven. oo German Agitators Losing Grip on Mexicans in Sonera "T1 Is OG ALES, Sonora, Mex . Oct 31 German agitators who have spread propaganda and attempted to cause friction between the United Stales and Mexico are losing their grip in Son ora, if the action of 200 local Mexi cans who have subscribed heavily to tho Fourth American Liberty loan is to be taken as a criterion.

M. Lawton. owing to the fact that they could not cross the border to make their investments. Of those who subscribed to the loan, it was notice ablo that the majority took great pride In exhibiting conspicuously the Liber ty loan button, which was given them with their subscriptions. In addition to the natives, six Chi nese merchant firms subscribed to the sum of $8500.

Leadership of I President Wilson which is responsible J for the collapse of autocracy power In iGormany and Austria" was commended in n statement tonight by six promi nent "pro-war" Socinlists. They called on Voters, regardless" of party to "up hold the president by voting for only such congressional candidates as sup port, with loyalty and enthusiasm, the president's entire program of war and reconstruction." The statement, signed by Allan L. Benson, Henry L. Slobodin, J. D. Phelps Stokes. Chester M. Wright, Frank Bohn and William English Wall ing, said in part: j Tt was President Wilson's leader ship of the democracy since America's entrance into the war which has unit ed and Inspired tho democracy among our allies as well as at home. This moral leadership, more than any other (single fact, is responsible for the col lapse of the power of autocracy in Ger imany and Austria.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 President Wilson today continued exchanges ol communications with Colonel E. M j House. Late in the day the president went to the state, war and navy buiid- I ing for a conference with Secretary I Baker. ! Tims far no inkling has been given here as to the proceedings of the su preme war council, which convened to day, to arrange an nrmistice for Ger many and Austria or of exchanges at i Paris between representatives of the -iiieiue nations anu uoionei House be j foro tho council's sessions began. Colonel House has been keeping the president in close touch with events. There was no confirmation in Wash ington today of reports from Europe that General Diaz, the Italian commander-in-chief had received from the supreme war council terms of an armistice he 'vas authorized to offer the Austrian comninndor in tho field. But in many quarters the report, if not correct, was regarded as being only slightly in advance of the facts. Such official information as the slate department had today from what had once been the vast dual empire indicated that very little remained of that structure owing to the separation of Hungarians, Bohemians and Jugoj Slavs from the parent state. Even in that remnant of a once might empire grave disorders woro reported and Its total collapse was believed imminent. us tiunrniuC1 i Americans Open Offensive in Conjunction With French and Make Spectacular Advance. WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY NORTHWEST OP VERDUN, Nov. 1. (By the Associated Press.) 7 p. m. Whether the American offensive which was made today in conjunction with the French on the left was a surprise or not Is unknown, but it is certain tho Germans were not quite prepared for at two places American divisions- en countered enomy divisions In the pro cess of effecting a relief. Thnt the Ger mans had anticipated an early resump tion of the offensive Is, however, be yond doubt. The prisoners lakon represent not only tho nine divisions known to have bijen in tho German line, "but four others. This is not regarded as con clusive evidence of the presence of that many divisions, but rather that tho increasing scarcity of man power has forced tho employment of minor units ns reenforcements. The American advance lacked much of the spectacular qualities that char acterize great advances, but the Am ericans did display as never before In creased efficiency, dash and brilliancy In attack. The workman-like manner in which both tho staff and the Unci conducted operations was praised by the French observers, who doclaretl that tho American army displayed all the characteristics of veterans.
