Roosevelt assailod tho Wilson admin

cd hyphenism and held President
Wilson responsible for "an evil re-
vivai OF non-American and anti
American division along political
racial lines"
This is due. primarily. the colonel

Roosevelt declared the citizen who
seeks TO shape American policy In tho
interest OF the country from which he
or his ancestors came has no moral
right to American citizenship.

Berlin, Sept. despite state
ments appearing IN the Austrian
press, the Teutonic forces have no
intention of evacuating the largest
part OF Transylvania, the United
Press was informed this afternoon.
The plan of campaign contemplates
the evacuation of only few places.
From several of these the Austrians
already have retired. The withdraw
al in each instance was part Of
plan agreed upon many months ago
and was simply for the purpose OF
STRENGTHENING and shortening the line.

FRISCO READY FOR
RAILROAD STRIKE

San Francisco. Sept. 1.-Prepara-
tions for the threatened railroad
strike continued today despite the
apparent change for the better
brought about by the introduction Of
Legislation to avert trouble. Today
the employees OF the Southern Pacific
and Santa Fe are receiving final
friendly warnings from the COM
panies, reminding them that any man
striking forfeits his rights to pension
and his seniority rights. In addition,
the company is posting notices in all
waiting rooms, ticket offices and
freight depots. warning passengers
and shippers that tickets will be sold
or shipments received only when the
destination can be reached by tomor-
row night. High board fences, with
barbed wire on top, have been built
around the terminal yards OF the
Southern Pacific, Western Pacific,
Santa Fe and Northwestern Pacific.
Railroads report today that more
OF their employees have definitely de-
cided to remain with the company.
With these and a reserve force Of
pensioned employees they expect to
operate several trains daily. Even
the Southern Pacific trans-bay ferry
service will probably continue In case
of strike, for arrangements were
made whereby the S. P, ferry boats,
which are not affected by the strike.
will operate between the ferry here
and the Key Route pier.
Express companies have issued a
notice that any goods they receive
for shipment will be accepted only
subject to delay. They will give their
attention to keeping up the milk sup
ply Of the city.
There was further assurance today
that the price of foodstuffs will be
lower rather than higher as a result
OF the strike and embargo. This was
noted in the slumping Of the prices
of all fruit and vegetables, owing to
unusually heavy shipments.

vina frontier, is advancing on the
famous old Hungarian city Of Bis

frontier.
A Central News dispatch from The
Hague today said that the Austrians
are preparing to evacuate Bistritza.
Heavy fighting continues along the
mountain front leading southwark
from Bukovina. Along the southern
border of Transylvania the Austrians
are attempting to make a stand in

ANY worker who shall wilfully de-
lay. obstruct or hinder operation OF
trains shall be guilty of misdemean-
or and punished by fine not exceed
ing $4,000 and Imprisonment not ex-
ceeding one year, or both"
As soon as Senator Newlands COM
pleted his explanation Of his bill. Sem
ator Cummins asked:
Does the section which imposes a
penalty on all who delay or obstruct
operation Of trains apply to an en-
ploye who refuses to move train?"
ut Is meant merely to keep the
arteries OF trade open and to pre-
vent any one wilfully closing them"
replied Newlands,
Senator Reed Joined Cummins in
an attack on the penalty section. He
got Newlands to admit that that sec
tion and the one which gives the in
terstate commerce commission power
to fix wates, rates and hours OF
labor were put in the bill by the COM
mittee and not in any way suggested
by President Wilson, Reed declared
the penalty section virtually means
abrogation OF the right to strike and
involuntary servltude for the en-
ployes, although Newlands insisted It
was not so meant.
