the French, to the east of De-
niecourt, captured elements of
trenches from the Germans and
brought forward their front

newly acquired line running
through Belloy-En-Santerre and

A Wage Law

Before five great audiences in Mass
achusetts, New Hampshire and Maine,
the nominee asSailed the administra-
ton vigorously for the enactment of
the Adamson eight-hour law. He call
ed it not an eight hour law, but a
wage law" said that it was passed
"confessedly in ignorance of the facts,
asserted that while it had been said
in its favor that society favored the
eight-hour day, society had nothing to
do with the measure, and declared en-
phatically that that kind of virus in
our life" would bring the nation to
disaster in the end.
Overflow Meeting
Mr.. Hughes first appearance in
New England was marked by cheering
crowds, packed houses from which
many were turned away, street dem
onstrations, and, here in Portland to-
night, by an old-fashioned torchlighr
parade with red fire blazing along the
way. Much of the day was passed in
motor cars and the nominee reached
this city, travel-stained and weary, to
face an audience in the City hall Au-
ditorium from which SO many were
turned away that an overflow meeting
Of several thousand was formed out
side.
Along the half-mile way from his
hotel to the auditorium the crowd was
packed so densely that locomotion on
the sidewalks was impossible for much
Of the distance.
Supported by Robins
Arriving at the auditorium, Mr.
Hughes spoke from the platform
where Raymond Robins, chairman of
the Progressive National Convention
at Chicago, had just told the audience
why he was no longer a Democrat or
Progressive and why he supported
the Republican ticket.

LATE SMOKES AND
DRINKS ARE TAB00EO
LOndoners Cannot Buy Cigars, Can
dies or Other Delicacies
After Eight O'Clock.

LONDON. Nov. 20. The new
early shop-closing regulation has
dealt many people a decided shock.
The smoker who finds himself unex-
pectedly without cigars, the candy
eater Overtaken with a late craving
for something sweet. and the work
man who wants to send out for
sandwich, is surprised and angry
when he discovers that such indul-
gences are barred.
After eight O'Clock on all nights
except Saturdays il is impossible to
buy anything except meals and drink
The cigar stores and the candy shops
must close, but restaurants may re-
main open, and in London people
may crowd up to the bars and buy
drinks until half-past nine. But the
public houses cannot sell tobacco
after eight. Nor can restaurants
purvey confectionery or cigars to any
but those consuming meals on the
premises. Discussion over what con-
stiutes a meal is waged in the news
papers. Is a sandwich a meal? And
if one sandwich is not a meal. how
many would constitute a meal? one
cigar may be bought with a meal
and lighted on the premises. and
therefor smokers may sometimes be
driven 10 buy a meal for the sake Of
a cigar. Hence the Importance Of
this point.
