New York, Oct. 25. Charles E.
Hughes, republican presidential nom
inee, in an. address in Brooklyn to-
night, in which he made an appeal to
the young voters of America, declared
that the republican party had recov
ered from the division of four years
ago and is ready once more to serve.
"The republican party," Mr.
Hughes asserted, "sprang into being
at a time of deepest national peril.
"Preserving the nation, it not only
abolished slavery, but emancipated
the people from the curse of a de
structive sectionalism," said the
nominee.
Want Country Respected.
After reciting at length what he
called the achievements of the party,
Mr. Hughes asked:- "What sort of a
country does young America, vibrant
with patriotism, desire?"
Saying he would endeavor to an
swer the question, Mr. Hughes con
tinued: "He wants a country re
spected throughout the, world. He
wants a country which respects the
dignity of its citizenship and thus de-
' serves and enjoys the esteem of other
nations. He wants no braggart as
sertion of power, no policies of ag
gression; he has no desire for strife,
', but he desires to have the American
flag a symbol of firmness, a courage-
. ous and indomitable spirit of an in
tense love of justice, of great strength
. well organized, but never misused,
which secures protection to American
citizens in tncir just rigms turuugn
out the world.
Must Protect Trade.
"He must recognize there is no per
rhancnt security for people who take
conncil of its fears rather than its
principles, Timidity, A weakness and
ehanfrinflr ouroose are feeble custo-

it we do not protect our. trade.
Mr. Hughes declared, ."it will be con
stantly shackled and menaced. If the
lives of our citizens are not eafi
- guarded," said Mr. Hughes, "there will
: be a continued invitation to slaughter
by those whose contempt we have
evoked. If we do not protect our
own. what a mockery it is , to talk
about the opportunities for American

: The republican . candidate asserted
we had been "shockingly lacking" in
adequate military preparedness. This
was revealed, he added, at the Mexi
can border, where "we had grave de
lays, a revelation ot a weak and in

apparently without protest, had al

That Governor, Glynn asked
O'Leary to promise to delay any
contemplated action, until after the
Shadow. Lawn conference.
That after Governor Glynn went
to the Shadow Lawn, conference he
got into long distance communica

him that he had made an appointment
with Mr. Vance McCormick, and
that Mr. Vance McCormick was very
anxio.us to see Mr. O'Leary, and
would Mr. O'Leary let Mr. Vance

Chihuahua City, Oct. 25. (Via El
Paso Junction.) General Trevino to
day received a wireless message from
General Venustiano Carranza an
nouncing1 his candidacy for the Mexi
can presidency at the coming election.
The message stated there probably
would be many changes in the Car
ranza cabinet. General Pablo Gon
zales, it stated, is to give up his com
mand of the first military division to
accept a special confidential commission.
Although the report did not tell of
tne progress ot the Villa attack on
Chihuahua, persons who reached the
border told army officers that camp
fires of the attacking force could be
plainly seen from the city.
The report contained a detailed ac
count of the crushing defeat received
several days ago near Palomas by
Carranza troops under General Ozuna
at -the hands of- Villa's command.

General Bell's report on the fiiht at

is as follows:
'A prominent official from Chihua

manding officers of the Ozuna army

battle of Palomas: y
"General Ozuna had about 3,000
men and they had taken out eleven
trains loaded with provisions, ammu
nition and troops, besides the cavalrv.
When, near Palomas, Villa sent 200
men to intercept and gave battle for
a few minutes, retreating and fighting
as they retreated. Then Villa sent
another detachment in behind Ozu
na's -force, cut the railwav and tele.
graph and also attacked Qzuna's rear,
Uzuna followed the retreating Villis-
tas into a canyon, in the foothills and
there Villa attacked.

Another report from Geneaal Bell,
forwarded by General Funsuen, said
General Trevino, Carranza command

Echoes of the failure of the Farm

throughout a part of the resolution
adopted. The resolutions commended
the State Banking board and its sec

tions for which it was created. The
resolutions recommended further safe
guards, such as experience has shown
to be necessary, the resolution read
and urged that such legislation- be
pushed next winter.
We recommend drastic measures
to be enacted," thV 'resolution on this

Likewise measures should be enacted
eliminating unwise and unsound com
petition for deposits by the payment

rate permitted by law."
The resolutions nut the bankers on

tem of transfer of funds by open tele

of the cypher code recommended by
the American Banker's association.
Resolutions of regret were adopted

the French today, says ' the bulletin

Paris, Oct. 25. Italian cavalry from
southern Albania formed a junction
yesterday with cavalry and- artillery
from the entente forces on the Mace
donian front, the war office an
nounced today.
Italian forces occupied the Alban
ian seaport of Avlona before Italy
entered the war against Austria. No
further operations of consequence
were undertaken, by the Italians for
some time, but in the last few months
there have been occasional reports
that reinforcements were being sent
to Albania and that Italian detach
ments were pushing their way east
ward. Southern Albania is regarded
by Greece as within its sphere of in
fluence and towns in this region have
been under control of Greek officers.
The Greek representatives were re
quired to withdraw from the towns
taken over by the Italians.
There has been no accurate infor
mation heretofore it to the extent
of the Italian advance, but it is evi
dent from today's French announce
ment that this movement, as well as
the extension westward of the Mace
donian front has been carried for
ward more rapidly than previous ad
