CRISIS FOR NATIONS ToILERs.

What the laborer didn't see under
the Republican regime was that High
Tariff does not regulate wages, but
makes it possible forlthe manufactures
to so regulate prices that he can con
troll labor The farmer, with his char
acteristic selfreliance and naturally in
dependent spirit. asked no favors. All
he wanted was an equal chance with
other business men. Wilson saw the
farmers interests In big way.
The Rural Credits Act alone, of more
than a dozen big things this Demo
cratic Congress did for agriculture,
gave greater direct benefits to the
farmers than any legislation enacted
since the creation of the Department
of Agriculture a generation ago.
There came time when the laborer
saw that his labor was commodity, q
thing to be bought and sold, or re-
strained or enjoined by the unwarra1t-
ed issuance Of injunction writs in Fed
eraI courts; he saw that he did not have
the rieht-guaranteed to him by our
constitutional voluntary association
for his own protection and welfare; In
short he saw that he was . wage -slavel
He saw that he was up against Cap
ital-organized and entrenched behind
the Powerful Pull of the Political
Bosses Of the Republican High Finance
Gang, and ORGANIZED Capital fought to
prevent the Organization OF Labor!
What did Labor demand? Merely
this: That labor be made part of the
national councils; that Its patriotism
be conceded: and that its knowledge OF
Its own needs give 1t paramount voice
in legislation directly and peculiarly at
fecting its own rights.
And what has been the spirit OF this
Democratic Administration? Let Sam
uel Gompers. President of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, tell:
"In my experience with United States
Congresses during two score years
have not seen anything like the fine
spirit toward labor. toward the rights
and welfare of all the people, pervad-
ing all the branches of the Wilson ad-
ministration This fundamental right
spirit has guided the Wilson admins
traticn to wise and righteous labor leg
islaticn."

AVIATOR AVENGES
POURPE'S DEATH
BY BRAVE DEEDS

Paris. Oct. 16.-Sergeant Raoul Lufbery
of New Haven. Ct, the first American
to be mentioned in a communicate for
bringing down five hostile aeroplanes, Is
known as the American who thought
himself Frenchman.
Lufbery's parents died when he was
very young and he was brought up by a
family at Bourges. At the age of 10 he
ran away from home and wandered all
over the world, turning his hand to alt
sorts of trades. At Saigon he me, the
aviator Marc Pourpe. who trained him
as his assistant.
The first time that Lufbery discovered
that he was an American was when, on
the outbreak of the war, he went to en-
list with Pourpe. He was rejected on
account of his nationality. but after many
appeals was allowed to go with Pourpe
as his mechanic.
Powpe was killed soon afterward and
Lifbery swore to avenge him. He i'm
portuned his superior to allow him to
train as a pilot and his request was f.
nally' granted. Lufbery got his pilots
certificate last year and was transferred
to the American flying corps when it was
formed He brought down all of the five
German machines required for mention
in a communicate since July 80. The first
three were destroyed within 10 days.

RUMANIANS ARE
FORCED BACK
SEVEN MILES IN
OWN COUNTRY

London. Oct. 16.-The situation on
the Rumanian frontier occupies the
leading position on the news and edi-
torial pages of the London newspapers.
The Rumanians, according to the latest
official statement, have been forced
back six or seven miles at one point
into their own country. They are maxi
ing stand at Rucaru, which is a small
town toward the southern end u the
Torzburger Pass. At Rucaru, the Rus
ru German forces are well below the
highest level of the pass. South of this
town the road runs 10 miles through a.
rolling country to the rail-head of
Campulung. which is virtually on the
edge of the Rumanian plain and Is
miles from Bucharest.
The Times notes; 1.-THE enemy has
advanced into Rumania through the
Torzburger pass and the Rumanians
are fighting on their own soil at Ruca-
ru. Apparently they have temporarily
lost possession of all but the southern
approaches of Torzburger Pass Fur
ther north the enemy penytrated to the
crest~of CitoZ Pass but was then driven
back in a fierce encounter. In the other
passes the enemy is making no prog
ress but until effective help reaches the
Rumanian second army we must ex-
pect varying fortunes in this district.

tonight whether to, accept the stone
theory. J. Frank Hanly. the presiden-

Landrith was sitting with his back
to the window when it was struck. SUD

HEMP HURDS TO
MAKE BOOK PAPER

Washington, Oct 16.-Specialists of
the department Of agriculture are con-
WINGED that satisfactory quality of
book paper can be made from hemp
hurds, the waste stalk fragments pro-
duced in preparing hemp fibre for the
market.
At present about 5000 tons Of hurds
are produced from hemp grown in
Ohio, Indiana. Wisconsin and Califor-
MIA. This is not sufficient. the report
states. to justify the erection Of a pulp
mill or the transportation to existing
mills. but the view is expressed that
the time may come. owing to the in
creasing cost of wood pulp and the in
creasing acreage Of hemp grown in
this ciuntry. when the use Of hurds in
the paper making industry will DO
profitable.
