Also Capture Island in Danube,
North Of SistOva.
COMMANDMENTS IN SOMME
Hard Fighting Occurs West of Lutsk,
but Russian and German Reports
Disagree as to Results.

London, Oct. 10.-Battle fronts in
Transatlantic and Macedonia continue
for the moment the centers of greatest
interest According to Berlin, the
Roumanians in Pennsylvania are re-
treating along the whole line. The
Teutonic allies have recaptured the
town of Toerzburg within seven miles
Of the Roumanian border.
In the Danube, north of Sistova, the
Germans have occupied an island, TAX
ing six guns and making prisoners OF
the Roumanian troops there.
A Bucharest dispatch forwarded
from Rome says the Roumanians evac-
uated the Transylvanian city of Kron-
stadt to avoid it's destruction by Aus
tro-German batteries.
Serbians, in considerable force, have
crossed the Cerna river in Serbia and
captured the town of Skochiver, south
east of Monastir and also have occu-
pied positions along the north bank of
the river.
Considerable hard fighting again has
taken place in the region west of
Lutsk and farther south Of Galicia,
but the results are beclouded some
what because of contradictory reports
of the Petrograd and Berlin war office
statements.
Near Brzezany, in Galicia, both Pc
trograd and Berlin record repulses of
attacks. In the Carpathians the Ger
mans have made an advance at Ba-
baludoma.
Violent reciprocal bombardments
are in progress in the Somme region
of France.

REFUGEES FROM SHIPS
Land AT NEWPORT

Newport, R. l., Oct. 10.-Four de
stroyers of the American flotilla came
into harbor here bringing ZIG persons
rescued from the ships sunk off Nan
tucket by German submarine.
The Ericsson, the first of the de-
stroyers to arrive, brought eighty-one,
the Drayton sixty-eight, the Benham
thirty-six and the jenkins thirty-one.
Thirty-fve women and ten children
ere among those on the Ericsson.
The British steamer Stephano, car
rying nearly 100 first and second cabin
passengers, including many Ameri-
can tourists, was sunk off Nantucket
lightship.
Members of the Newport society
set were prompt to extend yproffers of
help to the shipwrecked passengers.
The liner was in command Of Cap
tain Smith, who had been in the COM
pany's employ for number of years.
He is forty-eight years of age and he
is known as a skillful navigator.
Ordinarily the Stephano takes the
inside course, if the weather is IA
vorable. This takes it in water too
shallow for submarine.

At the annual meeting of postmas-
ters in Washington recently the first
assistant postmaster general lauded
the postal savings system. That must
have been bitter pill for Postmaster
General Burleson, who sat on the same
platform with his assistant When the
postal savings bill was passed Mr..
Burleson, then congressman from
Texas, voted against it. Every vote
cast against it was cast by a Demo
crat. Not one Democratic congress
man voted for it. Yet President Will
son says the Republican party has not

A CONTEST or CHARACTER,
NOT OF WEASEL WORDS
Cardinal Question In This Campaign Is
Whether the People Want In the
White House Phrase Maker
or Man Who Backs
Words With Deeds.

Woodrow Wilson eXcels in the ar
tistry of politics beyond the capacity
of Charles Evans Hughes to compete.
Were the current campaign game Of
professional politics instead of con.
test of character between two candi-
dates for the highest Office in the gift
of the people Mr.. Wilson would walk
away with the prize next November.
All his life he has made study Of
form first of literary form--and lat
terly of political form. In the first
period he mastered a style peculiarly
his own and peculiarly characteristic.
The study Of words and their multi
plicity of meaning always fascinates
him, SO much that Princeton class
mate recently said of him. Tommy
has lived with words SO long he thinks
they are real things" Thence comes
his collection of what Theodore ROose-
velt's Maine guide calls weasel
words" That is-"he can take word
and weasel it around and suck the
meaning out of it like weasel sucks
an egg, until it don't mean anything at
all, no matter what it sounds like it
means Thence came also the series
of catch phrases, SO fascinating in
sound, so false in suggestion; so easy
to read. so hard to understand So it is
that he is able to be ON all sides of
every public question while covering
his circuitous course with flow of
words that roll as easily from his pen
as brook through the meadow. 1t Is
his artfulness in the use of words that
enables him to pose as IAN amateur in
politics while playing the game with
the skill of professional. Whatever
his ineptitude liz other respects, he is
easily first among presidents in the
artistry of politics, and he would win
next November were that the test.
Compare the Witness Of Mr.. Wilson
with the straightforwardness Of Mr.
Hughes. Compare the smooth style of
the one with the rugged diction Of the
other. The one is as complex in the use
Of words as the other is simple. 1t is
a case of sonorousness versus strength.
Mr.. Hughes is depending upon the
strategy Of straighforWardness and
the strength Of sincerity; upon the
force of facts instead of upon the fic-
ton of a phrase, to win his case be-
fore the jury Of the nation His appeal
is to the head and not the ear OF the
people; to their intelligence and not to
their emotion; to their heroic side and
not to their hysterical side. 1t is an
appeal to the courage Of the country
and not to it's cowardice Mr.. Hughes
could not If he would perform in
year the political tricks that Mr.. Will
son can do in day. The question to-
day is whether the people want in the
White House for the next four years a
phrase maker or history maker,
man of many sayings or a man who
backs his words with deeds. There is
fundamental difference between the
two candidates which marks the line
Of cleavage in this extraordinary cam
paign-"Hughes means what he says

PROMISE TO REDUCE THE
COST OF LIVING
NOT KEPT.

Our opponents promised to re-
duce the cost Of living. This
they have failed to do. But they
did reduce the opportunities OF
making a living. Let us not for
get the conditions that existed in
this country under the new tariff
prior to the outbreak of the war;
Production had decreased, bust
ness was languishing, new enter
prises were not undertaken. in
stead of expansion there was
curtailment and our streets were
filed with the unemployed. What
ground is there for expecting
better conditions when the un-
healthy stimulus of the war has
spent its force and our industries
and workingmen are exposed to
the competition Of an energized
Europe?
1t is plain that we must have
protective upbui]ding policies

TEUTONS OPEN U-BOAT
WAR AT DOOR OF U. S.
Visit Of U-Boat to Newport Is
Followed by Attacks Off
Nantucket Shoals.

Boston, Oct. 9.-The submarine arm
of the imperial German navy has
started ravaging shipping off the East
ern coast of the United States.
Six steamers, four British, one
Dutch and one Norwegian, were sent
to the bottom or left crippled dere-
licts off Nantucket shoals
Under the light of the hunters
moon, the destroyer fiotilla of the Unit
ed States Atlantic fleet is picking up
passengers and crews of the Destroy
ed vessels and bringing them into
Newport, r. I.
So far as known there was no loss
of life, though at late hour the crew
of the British steamer Kingston had
not been accounted for.
A submarine held up the American
steamer Kansan, bound from New
York for Genoa with steel for the
italian government, but later, on es-
tablishing its identity, allowed the
American to proceed. The KanSan
came into Boston harbor.
The hostile submarine is believed to
be the U-53, which paid arcall to New
port Saturday and disappeared at sun
set.
Some naval men, however, declared
that at least two submarines are OPP
al 10 fha Am ri oh
though outside the three-mile limit.
The record of submarine warfare as
brought to land by wireless dispatches
follows:

The Library Cameragraph.

Every large library now has CAM
eragraph among its equipment. The
little machine pays for itself many
times in the reproduction of dccu-
ments and pages from books of which
the contents are wanted. The repro
duction is photograph. which may be
finished in far less time than type
written copy and the cost is only
trif1e more.
The ability to make perfect copy
of the original, especially in the case
of historic material. has multiplied the
library resources of the country. Many
large libraries have been in the habit
of lending their possessions upon de-
mand. When the desired material COW
ers only a page or two 1t is often
cheaper to make a cameragraph copy
than to ship the entire volume.
Another advantage over making type
written copies of extracts from scien.
tific works is that the cameragraph re-
produces the illustrations as well az
the text. thus filling a long-felt want
of scientific students.
