PUTS BLAME ON DEMOCRATS

Henry D. Estabrook, often spoken

of as a presidential possibility, was

the principal speaker at tbe banquet

of the McKinley club, held here last

evening. He spoke on the subject of

"Get Together," and showed how

easy It was for the republican party

to stick together. He said that th

O. O. P. was big enough for La Fol

lette and Roosevelt and the rest and

that they should resent a united

front In the coming contest. He

said:

"Americans are becing a homo

genous people. It is seldom you

meet a man whose peculiarities of

wardrobe, hair cut, or parts of speech

betray his geography. We look alike,

we dress alike, we talk alike, and

some of these days we are going to

think alike. And the time for re

publicans to begin to think alike is

now this very minute. Tbe occas

slon the necessity Is here. Our

country Is at sizes and sevens in

side and out.

"Except for the lamentable, but

lucrative traffic in war goods the

United States, so far as its legitimate

Industry Is concerned, is in the grip

of as profound a business depres

sion as we have experienced since

1896. Mr, McAdoo in a recent speech

says that prosperity has returned. Of

course, prosperity could not "return"

If It never had been absent. But It

Is true that a sort of fearful pros

perity Is upon us prosperity had

returned- temporarily at least, and

perhaps with a vengeance, In the

Ootober Review of Reviews there Is

a nori-yartlsaiT article hy Charles F.

Speare, which every American ought

to read. Let me quote you a little

of it. .

' la the history of American busi

ness no chapter reads more 111 a

fairy tale than that dealing- with

the event of the laat year. No more

rapid or complete translation from a

state , of dependence to one of Inde

pendence, or from the 'pauper to

la any country.

,'A year ago the United Btates was

worried by Its debts to Europe, and

apparently bad no means of paying-.

The amount was from 1300,000.000 to

Hare Not Won Single Big

Military Success.

RESPONSIBILITY ON THE ALLIES

LONDON. Oct. 29. Confessing

that he bad no Information which led

him to feel certain that current re

ports regarding peace overtures are

true, Iord Sydenham thinks that

they are not at all Improbable.

"I should say," he said, in an inter

view In tha Pall Mall Oasette. "that

the overtures were mainly inspired

tby the now certain Impossibility of

Oerman success In the west and the

growing difficulties of the miscon

ceived and dangerous advance Into

Russia. From first to last, the Ger

mans have not won a great military

success, and, although every effort

has been made to maintain confi

dence of the ultimate result In the

minds of the German people and of

neutrals, there must be many who

realise that the prospects, of ultimate

victory are growing dimmer.

"Without in the lease wishing to under

rate the tremendous difficulties that lie

before ua and the great efforts which are

still essential on the part of the allies, It

docs not seem unreasonable to suppose

that the Oermans may consider the time

has come to fly kltee Indicating at leaat,

apparently, their desire for Immediate

peace, although they may have another

motive by thl 1 mean a desire to Inti

mate to neutrals that they hat arrived

LONDON. Oct. 29. Tne first phase

of the AuRtrlan-Cernian-Duigariaa

campaign In Serbia is completed. Not

only have the Invaders of Serbia re

alised the Important objective of

Joining hands in the northeastern

corner of the country, but they have

enhanced this military cdvantago by

procuring free passage down the

Danube.

A flotilla of steamers Is said to be

already waiting to transport war

material and If, as stated confidently

by ' Austro-Oerman and Bulgarian

leaders, Serbia cannot interfere wltU

these arrangements, Bulgaria's am

munition shortage should soon be re-

The progres of liulitarlan 'roups east

and northeast tf Nlsh both threatens the

city and places the Serbian army In a

position of tncressed danger. Moreover,

like the union of Bulgarian and Teu

tonlo armies further north, the capture

of Nlsh would have more than mere

military or strategic advantage, since it

would make possible rapid establishment

of railway communication through Bel

grade, Nlsh and Sofia, among Austria,

Germany and their allies.
