LONDON, ENG. - "Ypres is in
flames, the Germans having thrown a
hail of incendiary bombs into the
town" Thus telegraphs correspon-
dent in northern France.
"The fighting continues holly all
along this 'front.'" the correspondent
adds. "The Germans show extraordi-
nary daring in bringing heavy artillery
close to their front line, the guns used
being mostly 13-inch Austrian hoWltz-
ers on movable carriages.
"The Germans also are using effec-
lively armOred trains carrying Al
guns. For the use of these armored
trains the Germans have consolidated
and streng thened the system Of light
railways, uniting a number of small
towns in the neighbOrhoOd of Ypres.
tc which they have added strategical
branch lines.
"The thirty French guns which the
Germans claim to have captured north
of Ypres are not in German bands. al
though the Frenc hwere forced to
abandon them. The guns were aban-
dOned in the marsh land with their
wheels half covered with water At
present they are in No Mans land,
between the rival forces. The French
keep up a perpetual hail of artillery
fire around the guns to prevent the
Germans from getting near them"

LAND FOR UNEMPLOYED
PLANNED BY UNCLE SAM

Westinghouse committee appointed
by Secretary of the Interior Lane and
Secretary of Labor Wilson is at work on
a plan to relieve unemployment, under
which the federal government would fl
nance workers desiring to take up farm
land. A complete program, with pre-
liminary drafts of necessary legislation,
is to be framed before congress meets in
December, to be proposed in connection
with rural credits bill. which operating
through the department of labor. would
enable workers in congested cities to
take up agricultural land on government
reclamation projects or public lands on
easy payment loans. 1t is suggested that
the $10.000.000 head tax collected from
immigrants. might be used in financing
the unemployment feature of the rural
credits plan. Secretary of Labor Wilson
has repeatedly called attention to this
vast amount of money. which could be
loaned to workers on long time and per-
NIT them to join in genuine "back-to-
the-land' movement. One of the rural
credits plans will doubtless be based on
this theory.

MOTHERS PENSIONS URGED.

San Francisco-In an address to the
Labor Council of this city on the value
of mothers pensions. Judge Henry Neil
said
"The mothers pension system is not
a charity any more than the public
school is a charity. We spend money
for free education because it is the
economical and efficient thing to do We
know we cannot afford to have our chill
dren grow up in ignorance. But thous-
ands of children are prevented from OBJ
tanning an education because their
fathers are dead or for some reason fail
to provide. The pension system provides
food. clothing shelter and care by the
child's own mother without which the
free public schools cannot do their
work.
Wherever the pension system has
been tried its results satisfy all classes.
Juvenile crime and detectives are de-
creased at once. because the pensoned
mothers are enabled to remain at home
and take care of their children. If chill
dren have good home with their own
mother. juvenile crime decreases. Chill
dren raised in poverty recruit the police
stations, jals. courts, penitentaries,
hospitals and asylums, because they did
not get a fair start. The spending of
ten million dollars this year for mothers
pensions will save the taxpayers a hun
dred million dollars in the coming years.
The cost of courts, prisons and asylums
has been increasing by leaps and
bounds"

PICKETING is LEGAL
SAYS CALIFORNIA MAYOR

San Diego, Cal-Mayor Capps has
vetoed an anti-picketing ordinance pass
ed by the city council over a contrary
ruling by the city solicitor,
In his veto message, the mayor says
Il disapprovc that portion of the above
section which reads as follows: to
loiter-or to picket, act as a picket, or
assist or engage in any act of picket
ing, for the purpose of inducing or in
fluencing any person.
81 believe the enforcement of the
above would be an invasion of the con-
sttutional rights of citizen.
"The lettering or picketing referred
to has been declared by almost all su-
preme courts in their decisions as
peaceful picketing' and not unlawful,
and it is the opinion of the city attor-
ney that the supreme court of this State
would render a like decision.
"The advocates of the passage of this
ordinance have offered to defray all eX-
penses in connection with any court pro-
ceeding which might be incurred by rea-
son of its enforcement, but | believe it
to be a very unwise proceeding for the
city to incur obligations of this nature,
against the advice of the city attorney,
which it may later be forced to meet"

JUDGES NEED WATCHING
SAYS COLLEGE PROFESSOR

Seattle, Wash.-"We will never have
popular government in this country until
we have the courts. If the courts make
decisions which seem to you rank in
justice, do not hesitate to say so. The
courts are open to criticism as well as
other public bodies. We have right
to criticise anybody"
These sentiments were expressed by
Prof. ]. Allen Smith of the University
of Washington, in speech on Labor
and the Courts"
Protest unfair court DECISIONS" con-
tinued the speaker. Watch the appoint
ment of judges. DO not be afraid to
speak your mind concerning the courts
as you would speak it concerning any
other political office or officer. Judges
are not gods and courts are not always
right. Let them feel the weight of pub
lie opinion We can't do it through the
legislatures entirely because they can
break any law we make! Our legisla-
lures are no longer able to do it all for
us. Speak your mind on court decisions
and appointment of judges"

FARM WOMEN OVERWORKED
SAYS WOMAN SPEAKER

Chicago.-State legislators are always
fearful that proposed laws regulating
hours for women and children may APP
ply to farm life.
In an address before the banker-far-
mer conference in this city Mrs. Nellie
Kedzie Jones, of Auburndale, Wis,
shattered views these legislators have
on the happy care-free life in the coun-
try. She said:
"You may be proud of your crops
and of your herds of cattle, but it
seems to me that the most important
crop of all is the crop of boys and girls.
This crop can be improved only by bet
tering the lot of the mother.
Because of farm drudgery thousands
of daughters leave the home acres every
year and seek easier and more con-
genial employment in the cities. Some
of this vast army find their dreams full
filled, but the vast majority give up the
struggle and are drawn into the whirl-
pool from which there is no escape.
"Coffins are the most expensive COM
modify sold, yet thousands of farmers
are purchasing them for wives and chill
dren who have broken down under the
strain of hard work, i'll nourishment and
lack of proper facilities"

GAMBLER EATS MOTH
BALLS-HE LIKES 'EM
Oil Fields Men Hear OF New Kind of
DOpe-Fiend-Actsa as Bracpr.

Pemeta, Okla The old time dope
hend the fellow who is slave to
coke, morphine and various other
hend He is the latest He is a gam
bier who infests the oil field, according
to John Williams of this vicinity, and
he eats the moth balls while sitting in
poker games
What benefit he derives from them
"~' "hether or not they act as bracer
while he sits in prolonged game of
draw" Williams declares he does not
know. but the fact that the fellow is a
moth ball eater has been firmly estab-
lished.
Recently it has been charged in Fed
eral Court action that person came to
mis- death because of being a natural
gas fiend. one who enjoyed breathing
the gas from a leak in pipe line. This
brand of liend is a close cousin to the
other one who delights in inhaling the
fumes of gasoline from spout of a
can. And there was prominent attor-
ney not many years ago who developed
to be seller fiend, but the moth ball
eater is new one.
This gambler, according to Williams,
was always taking something from the
side pocket of his coat during game
and putting it in his mouth. 1t was a
long time before any companion of his
learned what that something was, and
even now it is supposed secret. His
friends believed that he carried cloves,
peppermint, tablet of some kind or
perhaps throat lozengc He guarded
his secret so well that it was months be-
fore it was discovered. One night while
he slept, his coat pocket was examined
and the moth balls were found.

Olander, of the State federation of la

from calling on employees of the Mar

of inducing them to leave their employ

Secretary Oh, 'er said these injunc-
ton judges substitute form of per-
sonal government for government by
law. He showed that law courts have
invariably held that peaceful picketing
during strike to be lawful, but that
regardless of such rulings the equity
courts forbid such picketing and thus
virtually set aside the law. The right
to combine with others in the exercise
of lawful personal rights, and to induce
others to do likewise is upheld in the
law courts, but is denied and forbidden
in many instances by the equity courts.
The right of trial by jury provided by
the constitutions of both the Nation and
State is never denied in court of law,
but the right of trial by jury is seldom,
