The German pressure on the left
wing OF the allies was terrific, the war
office admitted. 1t was being ex-
erted by the kaiser's right wing along
the Aisne river, consisting of General
Won Kluck and General Won Buelow's
commands. These have been heavily
reinforced and were making desper-
ate attempts to resume the offensive.
Military experts believe the Ger
mans have withdrawn a large part of
the east Prussian forces from the
Russian frontier and thrown them
with the rest Of the right wing furi-
ously against the lines OF the allies
in a frantic effort to break through
and renew the advance on Paris.
Their attempt was so formidable
that French reinforcements were be-
ing rushed toward the Aisne river
from the Paris and oige regions.
BORDEAUX. Sept. 17--Along the
river Aisne the French are winning
the third great battle with the Ger
mans. War Minister MiIlerand de-
clared today.
The first big engagements he ex-
planned, We're that of the Meuse and
Sambre, ending in a retreat OF the
allies. The second engagement was
that of the Marne followed by the
German retirement. The third en-
gagement was that OF the Aisne which
the war minister declared he was con-
fident that allies would win.
All official reports showed. he
pointed out, that the Germans were
now fighting in the open, proving that
their position had been forced. The
advantages, he said, were with the
French and British.
PARIS. Sept. 17.-Another retire.

Varennes.
General Gallieni stated that the
battle line is rapidly approaching the
headquarters OF the crown prince at
Montfaucon and the belief was ex-
pressed that he soon will transfer
them probably to Meuse, which Is in
direct line with Stenay Gap through
which he will have to retreat IL beat

WHAT HOPE is THERE FOR THE AMERICAN MAN
AND WOMAN WHO LABORS?


workingman in America?
This is the question President Will
son wants answered. That is why
he appointed an Industrial Relations
Commission of nine members to try
to find out what is the mal-adjust-
ment between capital and labor in
this country and how, if at all, it can
be cured: This commission, which is
to take testimony in all parts of the
country during the next three years,
has just commenced its sessions in
New York.
AS a starting point, the nine mem
bers of the commission-three ap-
pointed to represent labor, three to
represent the employers and three to
represent the general public-decided
to hear at once from those organiza-
tons which claim to have panacea,
a CURE, for our troubles between the
employer and the worker. 1t was
found there are three of these in this
country and each was called to send
representative to tell IT'S PARTIC-
ULAR PLAN for social readjust-
ment In America.
The three organizations sub
poenaed were the American Fedora
ton of Labor, the Socialist Party and
the Industrial Workers of the World.
The first sent Samuel Gompers, its
president; the second sent Morris
Hillquit, a New York lawyer and
leading Socialist; the third sent its
general secretary, Vincent st. John
of Chicago.
The Day Book will publish on sep
arate days the plans proposed by
Gompers, Hillquit and st. John, and
finally what Frank P. Wash, chair
man of the Industrial Relations Com
mission thinks of the various plans.
Today The Day Book presents the
plan of Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor:

power to secure any given object than
individual effort, the first purpose to-
ward which the American Federation
of Labor directs it's efforts is the en-
couragement or formation of trade
and labor unions, and the closer fed
Grafton of such unions--such as local,
state, national and international
unions.
1t urges that these organizations
aid and assist each other to the full
est in any of the struggles in which
they may be engaged.
1t stands for the protection of the
rights and the interests of the work
ing people.
1t aims to promote and advance
their interests and rights economic
ally, politically, legislatively and So
cially and to make their life the bet
ter for living in THIS DAY so that
the workers may be in a better posi-
ton to meet any problem with which
the future generations may be con-
fronted.
In word, it aims to let go untried
NO EFFORT by which the working
people-the great mass Of people
may find betterment upon any and
every field Of activity. &C.,.
There is NO LIMIT TO any course
which may be pursued by our Amer
lean Federation of Labor that is cal
culated to be of advantage to the
people of our country and, PRIMAR-
lily, the WORKING people.
And so the workers, as human be-
ings, will never stop in any effort, nor
stop at any point in the effort to Sc
cure greater and greater improve
ments in their conditions "a better
life in ALL its phases. And wherever
that may lead, WHATEVER THAT
MAY BE, so far in my time and my
age, decline to permit my mind or
my activities to be labeled by any par
ticular ism"

SCHOONER HoNALEI POUNDED TO
PIECES ON DUxBURY REEF
OUTSIDE GOLDEN GATE.
ALL HEROES IN WRECK
NOT EVEN A WOMAN WHIMPERED
AND CREW RRAvED PERiLs
IN DARING REscuEs.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
San Francisco, Calif.-Forty-three
survivors had been rescued Tuesday
night from the wrecked wooden steam
er Hanalei, which went ashore, in a
dense fog, on Duxbury reef. nine miles
north of the Golden Gate. and was
shivered to splinters by the pounding
surf.
Eighteen dead had been either
washed ashore at Bolinas, just east
OF the dreaded reef, or brought to port
by the United States revenue cutter
McCulloch and the navy tug Iroquois.
How many are missing never will
be accurately known, for the best
available passenger list in the com
pany's possession gives 2S passengers
and rs crew, a total of "a souls. where
| as the known dead and saved number
81. These figures do not include two
life savers, washed ashore alive, and
three missing. Their boat was
swamped.
The heroism of Sydney Ashton. chief
steward of the Hanalei. was given off
cial recognition by Mayor Rolph, who
called at the emergency hospital and
offered his congratulations to the man.
Ashton was completely exhausted
when he was saved When the Hama
lei began to break up. Ashton strapped
to his back the 15-months-old baby of
Mrs. Val Franz. passenger. and
swan to piece of wreckage. He
also managed to get Mrs. Franz upon
the wreck, and then for four hours he
fought to prevent the mother and child
from being swept away by the waves.
Mrs. Franz managed to cling to the
wreckage until picked up by a life
boat but just as safety was at hand,
huge comber swept the baby away.
Speaking from cot in the emerg-
ency hospital, ]. F. Mason, a survivor.
said: Everybody on board, every
member of the crew, and every pas
senger, was hero. Not even the wom-
group, one woman with a baby in her
arms, and took their fate stoically."
When the Hanalei began to break
up, Captain Carey ordered all the pas
sengers and the crew to climb on
pieces of wreckage. All of the women
and the two wireless operators, Love
joy and Svendon, climbed on top Of
the pilot house. AS the vessel broke
up the pilot house floated towards
shore, but large timber crashed
against it, throwing all of those on it
into the water. This was the last
seen of Loveioy and Svendon.
One of the last persons to be saved
was Captain Carey. He floated ashore
with pile of wreckage and was found
unconscious under it.
That only four sailors on board the
Hanalei could both row and swim was

of the members of the crew who sur

he had offered to plead guilty to muir

he should not hang. District Attor-

closing argument to the jury. urged
the death penalty. Although Freeze
shot himself three times after killing
the woman. he decided that after that
failure to end his life, he wanted to
live. Throughout the four days of his
trial he co6perated with his attorney
to cast mitigating circumstances about
the crime which he freely confessed.
Life Imprisonment. he said, was the
best he could hope for. When the
