Providence, r. l., Oct. Ex-senator
Boies Penrose Of Pennsylvania declar-
ed here Saturday night at dinner OF
the Southern New England Textile
Club, that the European war would
be drawing rapidly to close II Ger
many had adopted a policy OF free
trade and relied on the United States
and South America for foodstuffs and
raw materials.
He discussed at length the tariff sit
uation ir the light of the war. and
urged a return to a permanent protec-
tive tariff with an arti-dumping clause.

part. Bismarck attributed the pros
perity Of the United States and its
quick recovery after what was up to
thta time the greatest war in history,
to our protective policy. 1t is signif1-
cant that in the present war in Eu-
rope, Germany, out off from the rest
of the world by encircling hostile ma
tions, seems abe to feed, clothe and
support her people. 1t is argued, with
reason, that she finds herself in this
position on account Of her protectivee
tariff legislation on agricultural pro-
ducts at the instance of the Agrarian
interests Of Germany.
H'What would have been the position
of. Germany today chad she adopted a
policy of free trade and relied on South
America and the United States for food
stuffs and raw materials, as England
has done? 1t is evident. as far as Ger
many is concerned. that the war rapidly

SENATOR PENR0SE DECLARES
PROTECTIVE TARIFF NECESSARY

Germany would be in about the same
position, in the matter Of food. as the
United States is today in the matter OF
dyestuffs, and many of the other chem
ical staples entering into manufactures
and agriculture.
I'VE have allowed the chemical sched-
ule of our tariff laws to become made
quate. The consequence Is that our tex
tile industries are paralyzed on account
of the lack of dyestuffs. We should have
tariff legislation, when the Republicans
get back into power, which will estab-
lish the dye industry and the chemical
industry in general on firm basis, SO
that the United States will never again
find itself involved, on account ct the
complications in Europe, in such situa-
ton as it is today.
Let us make no mistake about the
necessity of permanent protective
tariff law with an antiAdump1ng
clause, such as is contained in the tar
if laws of Canada and other coun-
tries. Such a law is necessary to pro-
tect this country from the conditions
which are likely to exist at the close
Of the war in Europe.
Millions Of men will return to In
dustrial occupation. The financial con-
dition of Europe and the consuming
power Of the people will render inevi-
table the cheap products Of cheap for
eign labor, which will be thrown upon
the American market. That market is
worth to the foreign manufacturer the
markets. of all the rest Of the world
combined, Our condition would have
been badl enough had things gone on
as they were. going ON before the out
break Of the war. It will be many
fold worse after the close Of the war,

Petrograd, Oct. 17.-Via London, Oct.
1s.-1.C9, a. M.-The following official

ters was issued tonight:
South of Riga. after artillery prep
arations, the enemy attacked and cap

Our counter-attacks followed immedi-

I'm the region of Jacobstadt there
has been artillery and rifle fire. In

in the Schlossberg region west of
Llouskt. Hostile attacks near the viii
lage OF Pochilina also were repulsed.
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the
enemy developed an intense fire and

north of Lake Sventen. The movement

IAlY'SPAR1ICIPATION.i I'm The
Z BALKANS THREATENS. SERIOUS
TROubLE AMONG her MINISTERS

Military considerations at home also
are advanced as q reason for noo-
participation. Italy might be able to
send men but no artillery to amount
to anything. In addition. it is calcu-
lated by the opponents OF participation
that in case Of a sudden invasion off
Italy by the Austrians the Italians
who had been detached for fighting in
the Balkans, could not return home
within three months.
The ideas of those in favor Of send
ing troops OF fight with the British,
Preach and Serbs against the Teuton-
&c allies are well expressed In a state
ment printed in the Secolo, which says:
1.-THE absence of Italy from the Bal
kans at this decisive moment would be
premeditated political suicide as the
allies must now repair with military
action the bad effect Of their unfore-
seen diplomatic defeat"

INVENTOR lCARTY
TALKSABOUT NEW.
AGEOF TELEPHONE


San francisco. CAL, Oct. III. j.
Carty,f'A. r. T. chief engineer,
dreamer. Of dreams that come true Che
perfected the wireless 'phone through
which Washington officials recently
talked 5000, miles from the Capitol to
Hawaii, and with. which the human
voice may some day circle the globe
you know, told me something of his
dreams for wireless telephony.
Some day, he opFhed. Bill Smith
may sit in his office in New York,
Chicago, Seattle or San Francisco,
ring up across the continent on the
wire and be connected with the wire
less telephone to Toxic. r
From New York, that is about 5000
miles.
But, Bill Smith won't be able to use
a wireless telephone to talk to Tom
Jones down in another Office building
in the same town. The wireless isn't
meant for that, and it won't supplant
the telephone or the wireless tele-
graph. '
The little man with the black hair.
just tinging with gray, and the sharp.
black eyes peering out from under
shaggy eyebrows, sat in the tempo
rary Office Of the A. T. & T. Co. here
and discussed his dream of talking
across the continent and thence to
Hawaii, which had just come true.
He personally had made wireless tele-
phony a commercial possibility, but 1t
was of his company that he spoke
scarcely ever 81"
I'VE don't expect that there'll be such
thing as carrying pocket phone
around and connecting up with anybody
anywhere in the world" he said.
What we do expect. though. is that
the wireless telephone will be available
for ships, and particularly for. small
craft. SO that one may talk to the other
or to the shore
There are three main reasons. as Car
ty explained 1t. why wireless telephony
cannot come into general use: that is,
supplant the usual commercial telephone:
First, great roar that spreads
through the ether and transfers to the
wireless set: second. the lack of secre-
cy; and. third. the inability to spread so
many communications on one Zine" as
can be done with the wire system.
The roar, he expects, will be overcome
to some extent. He has found he can
hear clearly in talking to New York.
but there are static Interruptions. He is
now working to smooth out this difficult
ty., also on completing the system Of
response.
On his original tests there was trans
mission in only one direction. but Carly
is now working out both sending and
receiving instruments.

AN EARTHQUAKE

Seward, Alaska, Oct. IA severe
earthquake shock was felt through
out Kanal peninsula last night. The
shock, continued 10 seconds, but as far
as is known no damage was done.
In Seward the earthquake was ac-

pushed into the streets.
Immediately after the earthquake a
strong north wind arose, bringing the

Some believe that the noise which
accompanied the earthquake heralded
