It is the scratched ballots sand

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
MT. Hughes Attitude on Labor.

MT. Editor: As I have not seen Charles B. Hughes attitude on labor. published in any local papers, or dis cussed by correspondents, it might be well perhaps to set them forth.
 In 1908 MT. Hughes said of organ ized labor: There are some who re- gard organized labor as a source of strife and menace of difficulty; I re- gard it as a fine opportunity for the amelioration of the conditions of men. working with no other purpose than to make the most of themselves and to achieve something for their farni- lies"
 And again in 1908: "The mission of organized labor is one of the finest that any association of men could guard"
 Quite contrast with MT. Wilson's attitude in 1909 when he said: Labor unions drag the highest man to the level of the lowest" And again in 1909 MT. Wilson said: The usual standard of the 1aborer in one day is to give as little as he may for his wages
 The contrast is only the difference of real friend of labor and of a man who wants the votes of labor

STORIES OF THE WAR
Duel in a Shell Hole.

An extraordinary story was told to the king and queen at the Edward VII hospital, Windsor, by Corporal George Bennett Burleigh, son of the late war correspondent. The corporal was with one ot the famous London regiments, and he had remarkably narrow escape from death.
 We went over the top," he said to their majesties, 'on September 15. l was charging quite close to a tank, and by the time we had got to the German first line I had killed eleven of the Huns. Then l was spun round and fell to the ground, bullet having passed through my left button. l started crawling towards a shell hole. When within two and a half yards of the hole a German major Of the Prus- sian guards, who was about feet $ inches high, swore at me and lifted his rifle to his shoulder, the barrel being quite near my face. A bullet passed good set of teeth the bullet was de- fiected and came out of my chin, knocking one of my teeth out en route.
 T lay perfectly still for an hour, and when l lifted my head I saw the Ger man major picking off our wounded with his rifle. l watched him go to the other side of the shell hole. I made a great effort and flung myself into the hole and rammed the bayonet through hl1n, put IL dld not Kill nm, ana he fought like a wild cat. I made a last effort and gripped his throat with my hands. He shrieked for mercy, but fought like devil all the time. How ever I managed to throttle him and he fell dead across me.
 T lay there helpless underneath the German for two days without anythinp to eat or drink, and I lost a lot CA blood. On the evening of the second day another wounded man came along and pulled the dead German off me, but he could not take me with him, as he was too badly wounded himself. At about o'clock that night the Ger mans curtain fire stopped,as our army had pushed them on. l then crawled about a mile, which took me four and a half hours to accomplish. Eeventual- ly New Zealander picked me up and carried me to our advanced dressing tation."-London Observer.

THE SAFEST INSTRUMENT.

Among certain ones there is feel ing that this country is going to have an important service to render in the reconstruction of Europe. That there will be a part that this country will play is highly probable but how ex- tensive it will be is problematical. As one expert says, American manufac- turers should not be too cocksure that we shall be dealing with a Europe of broken down and inefficient men and factories with antiquated machin- cry.
 Europe's factories have been de- voted largely to meeting the muni- lions demands but it must be remem- Oered that these will be immediately turned to production along other lines he minute that peace is declared, and even though Europe is engaged in war his country continues to receive great quantities of imports, the mount brought in the past year be- ng larger than in the one before, though of course all did not come rom Europe.
 Thus while Europe has suffered much from the war and will suffer nore it is to be remembered that un- Ter conditions in this country 1t is oily to think of competing with Eu- ropean labor, especially since they will be in a position. because of their Itruggle to recoup, to offer even stiffer competition. Therefore while we are thinking of reconstructing Europe it S high time to look out for our own protection and the safest instrument or that is a republican tariff which will encourage the development of lome industries and support those which already exist.
Norwich bulletin., 1916-10-26

of the enemys defense by the removal of troops to other fronts since the Germans had some time since aban- doned the effort which was started the first of the year to capture that French salient, but the capture of Douaumont, that high hill that corn- mands large section of territory. to- gether with Douaumont village, Thiau- mont. Haudromont quarries and La Caillette woods was nevertheless no small accomplishment.
 This success on the Verdun front, together with the progress which is being made by both the French and British on the Somme front to which point many of the German troops had previously been sent, indicates the manner in which the allied offensive along the western battle line Is being conducted. Germany can of course abandon the territory which 1t gained by months of fighting and the enor- nous sacrifice of life about Verdun without seriously affecting it's posi- tion in the west, when considered alone but when it is realized that this is being forced upon them and at the same time they are steadily being forced back along the Sonme front even though the Verdun troops are being used to reinforce that locality, it must be realized of course that those dents in the line are likely to mean serious trouble and the abandonment of an important section even though the allies are not able to break through. The gain at Verdun at this time must therefore be looked upon as significant.
