EXIT SIGNS IN cARs.-Ha7


noticed the letter by T. R. B. in The
Public Forum, in which he advises the
elevated roads to place signs on all
stations, l would like to make sug-
gestion regarding signs in the elevat
ed cars.
On a number of occasions while
riding on the elevated l have noticed
passengers, and especially elderly
people, get up in hurry when their
station was called; and not realizing
which end Of the car was the exit
would find that they had reached the
front end of the train instead. In
cases of this kind, and no doubt there
are thousands every day on all the
elevated roads, many passengers are
put to a great deal of inconvenience
as well as much delay in being car
ried on to the next station. Why
doesn't the company place signs at
each end of cars, Indicating which
end is the exit?-P. w. Barclay, Oak

SINGLE TAxING.-T


may be ever so true that increment in
land values are not morally the prop
erty of the landholders and that many
evils result to the rest of the people,
yet what can be done to reduce or
abolish the evil? The one remedy
advanced by single takers is that the
government shauld lay taxes on each
parcel of land sufficient to absorb the
increment. That seems simple way
for the government to do the Won
derful thing that the single takers say
can be done for almost the whole
social fabric. Unfortunately for the
single tax conclusions, the simple lay
ing of big or little taxes on the land
lords will inevitably be followed by
simply transferring the taxes onto
the tenants or the consumers of the
goods produced on said taxed land.
If any one can show how expenses of
any kind can be laid on land in gen
eral and not be transferred to the
consumer of the goods produced he

who cast a vote for Thompson l was
much surprised when l read of 800
sleeping men on the Graham & Nor
ton dock being carted to police sta
lions. Not even the most worthless
bum should be molested when asleep,
for surely then they are doing no
harm. Such is the policy of the
Thompson administration Out of the
300 men carted away l should say
there were 70 per cent who were in
offensive unemployed. They are to
serve sentences for doing nothing.
And this is what the Thompson ad-
ministration terms the criminal class.
1t was a great coup of the chief
of police. 1t was an act that was not
equaled in the stone ages and sounds
like a tale from Darkest Africa.
Thompson says his and his chiefs
life has been threatened. Let me
state here we get. in measure of our
lives what we SOW, and if oppression
and tyranny are what we SOW we
must expect like measure, rather
than a handclasp and kindness.

Thus Central Powers, With Bulgaria, Are Narrowing Gap Through Which the Serbian Army in North east Must Escape
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

LONDON, Oct. 31-The Serbian fortress of Pirot, described as the Key to Nlsh, is n the hands of the Bulgarians. while the Austro- Ger mans, advancing from the north are ehdeavOring to form a ring around Kraguyevatz, where the Serbian ar senal is situated. Thus, besides en- dangering both the Serbian war cap itol and the town where the Serbian munitions are manufactured, the central powers, with Bulgaria, are narrowing the gap through which the Serbian army in the northeast must escape.
 Simultaneously the Austrians are attacking Montenegro to remove if possible, the danger of having an enemy army on their flank. Little has been said about the fighting be- tween the Austrians and Monteneg- rins along the Drina river. but ap- parently it is of a most sanguinary character, as it took the Austrians with far superior equipment more than a week to force a crossing of the river at one point alone, that south of Vishegrad.
 The Anglo-French troops are firmly establishing themselves along the southern end of the Nish rail way and, crossing into Bulgaria, have occupied the hills surrounding Strumitsa, although the capture or that town, which has been reported, is not officially confirmed.
 The allied fleets. too. have again bombarded the Bulgarian towns on the Aegean sea. While these ef- forts take some of the strain off heavily tried Serbia, there is no re- liable information as to the move ments of the greater forces which, it is hoped. will save her.

Troops Invading Sonora Ar rive Within Striking Dis tance and Villa Says Will Attack Despite United States Patrol Forces
[Republioan A. p. Leased wire1

DOUGLAS. Oct 31-Villa troops invading onora arrived today within striking distance of Agua Prieta, op- posite here, and the expected attack against the Carranza garrison appar- ently was a matter of hours. Ad- vance cavalry of the invaders halted late today three and one-half miles east of Agua Prieta.
 General Francisco Villa, who arrived lat the International border several miles further east few hours earlier, talked with Americans across the boundary and announced that he in tended to attack the Mexican town regardless of any action United States u oops might take.
 General Villa began placing artillery directed at Agua Prieta at o'clock this afternoon, when his advance forces had reached a point within five miles east of that Mexican town across the border from here
 The vanguard of the Villa army ap- preaching Agua Prieta, Sonora, op- posite here, to attack General P. Elias Gales. commanding the Car ranza forces, swung into sight from the eastward early this morning.
 The first division to appear was a flanking guard of 1900 cavalry that reached the border at 6:1O o'clock this morning.
 It was immediately paralleled by a detachment of U. $. cavalry on the side of the border
 The main body with considerable artillery and a wagon train was four hours later reported at GallardO Pasa, tWelves miles to the east
 In the opinion of L. $. army off eers. it should require Villa several days to dispose his forces and place his artillery before beginning an as- sault upon Agua Prieta.
 The main body of Villa soldiers formed junction with their advance troops at the Gallardo ranch, about Is miles southeast of Agua Prieta The attacking army then started for ward for the final advance on the Carranza defenseS.
 Colonel FlOrencio Diaz. commanding approximately 1900 cavalry, preceded the remainder of the invaders and halted with his forces just beyond range of the guns of General F. Elias Gales, the Carranza leader at Agua Prieta.
