New York, Nov. 2.-The man who

ARIZONA LABOR LAW is VOID
Federal Supreme Court Knocks Out
Statute Which Disseminated
Against Alien Workmen.

Washington, Nov. 2.-The talie1
labor law adopted by Arizona under
an initiative petition, providing that
an employer of more than five persons
must employ so per cent qualified cleo
tors or native-born citizens, was de-
clared unconstitutional in the supreme
court today.
The supreme courts decision af-
firms the decision of a special circuit
court which also held the law uncon-
stitutional. Much attention was at
tracted to the case because several
foreign governments had protested
against the law and because of its SIM
ilarity to the land legislation in Cali
fornia which restricts the ownership
of real estate by Japanese. While not
exactly like the California situation
many lawyers have looked forward to
the Arizona decision for what indica-
tions it might give of what view the
highest court would take of the Cali
fornia law if it ever got into litigation.
Justice Hughes in announcing the
courts decision said it had already
been established that aliens in this
country were entitled to the equal pro-
lection of laws.
And that means equal laws for
aliens and citizens" he added.

ALLIES ATTEMPT
TO STOP BIG DRIVE
British and French Troops are
Arriving Daily at Saloniki
to Help the Serbs.
SLAVS CHECK Won HINDENBURG
draw Lines in North-French Win
in Africa.

London, Nov. 4.-The vigorous sup
port which the allies have promised
Servia seemingly is about to be real
lied.
Besides the Anglo-French troops, in
Guiding British cavalry, who already
are in southern Servia, British anu
French transports are arriving daily
at Saloniki and troops from them are
being sent up the country immediate
ly to attempt to check the Bulgarian
march from Veles toward Monastir,
while other transports, according to
Sofia dispatch, have landed troops at
Kayala, a Greek port on the Aegean
sea near the Bulgarian border. At the
same time the diplomats continue
their efforts to obtain the support of
Greece and Rumania for Servia, who
fought with them in the last Balkan
war.
AS time passes, however, Servia'S
position grows more critical. The Aus
tro-German drive from the north is
proceeding slowly, but surely, while
two Bulgarian armies are approaching
Nish, from which place the SerYian
government has moved to MiStrOvitZa,
over near the Montenegrin frontier.
There is SO further news of the Rus
sian expedition which several days
ago was reported off Varna, Bulgaria's
chief seaport. The opinion is held in
the entente allies countries that Ru-
mania, where there is continued agita-
ton in favor of Intervention on their
side, will allow the forces of Emperor
Nicholas to move across her territory.
The Russians claim to have checked
an Austro-German offensive which had
as it's object the capture of Czartorysk.
All along the eastern front the Rus
SLAMS, according to the German Off
cial report, are making a series of at
tacks from the Gulf of Riga to Ru-
mania. 1t is admitted that the Ger
mans were compelled to withdraw

to have been repulsed.

lets sped among a throng of soldiers

were coming across the line. The bull
let struck him in the middle of the

his spine was severely injured, para
lying him almost completely. Shells

fire, and citizens on the American side
were not endangered thereafter.
