Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct 8-President

America leads in such a movement she
will not be able to keep out of the next
war
"A great many men are complaining
that we are not fighting for something" "
he said. They declare We haven't the
spirit Of other countries in getting behind
investors.
Just so certain as you DO that you
Join the chaos of competing and hostile
ambitions"
The President and Mrs. Wilson were ac-
corded a most hospitable welcome by the
people of Cincinnati, but at no time was
there a marked demonstration Of political
enthusiasm. During a ride about the city
the porcession passed through one of the
sections inhabited by Germans There
was great outpouring OF the population
but no cheering
The nearest Mr.. Wilson got to a discus
sion OF hyphenism was when he called

auditors he was not a stranger in these
parts. as several years of his 5oyhood
had been spent in Ohio when his father
was pastor of the Presbyterian Congre-

st. Louis, Mo, Oct. 26.-Former Presi-
dent Taft speaking at st. Louis tonight,
attacked Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation Of Labor for
misleading labor" with reference to the
Danbury hatters' case, and for shifting
to the shoulders Of others the response
bilities created as a result OF his bad
counsel"
Mr.. Gompers. who has delivered the
labor vote Of this country, as usual TO
the Democratic candidat, ," Nj Taft
said, attacks Mr. Hughes for the unani-
nous judgment OF the Supreme Court in
the Danbury hstters case. Mr Justice
Hughes was one Of nine TO make this rul-
ing and followed g previous judgment
For this, Mr.. Gompers says. no work
ing man should vote for Mr.. Hughes
Mr.. GOmpers is not the man TO advise
working men on this subject. He encour-
aged the defendants to do what they did.
He advised them to violate the law He
advised them TO incur heavy expenses.
And now, as l am informed he is assess
ing all members Of the American Fedora o.
ton Of Labor to pay the heavy Judgment
and costs which his recklessness and
spirit Of lswlessness caused. and for
which he is chiefly responsible"

London, oct. 26.-That Germany has
violated her pledge to the United States
in regard to submarine warfare scores
Of times was the assertion in the house
Of lords today Of ViscOunt Grey, minister
of foreign affairs.
1t was drawn forth by renewed criti-
cism OF the American government in re-
gard to the recent torpedoings off the
American coast by the U-53. Lord Beres-
ford, former commander of the British
home fleet and spokesman for the navy.
and Lord Sydenham took part in this
criticism. Lord Beresford again inti-
mated that the United States has
stretched beyond the bounds of neutrality
her position in the U-53 case. II Amer
lean warships had not been employed in
rescue work Germany's pledges might
have been publicly broken, Lord Syden-
ham declared. The act of United States
naval vessels in practically aiding Ger
man submarine operations he character
lied as stretching neutrality too far.
Lord BeresfOrd stated his belief that
Germany was trying to froce the United
States into the war so that she could
ask for peace on the plea that 1t was i'm
possible to fight the whole world.

$4,000 Of Dynamite
Used to Wreck Bridge

Special Cable To The Washington Herald.
London, Oct. 26.-Dynamite worth
$4,000 was used by the retreating
Roumanians to blow up the bridge
across the Danube at Cernavoda,
the longest span in Europe, which
cost $S,O0o,OOO.
As the Germans advanced Rou-
manian engineers worked fever
ishly, first hewing inches in the five
stone piers on the Dobrudja side.
Tons OF dynamite were placed in
the inches and the same method
was adopted to mine the central
viaduct
When the engineers reached the
further river bank and pressed a
button there was a terrific explo-
sion, the 6Oo-foot channel span
reared up and then tumbled into
the stream, while central viaduct
was blown to atoms.

bone, exposing the base Of the brain.
With a few quick strokes OF the knife
he removed the portion OF the brain which

that the boy will get well and that the
fits will disappear"
