SAVED
BY SHACKLETON
Antarctic Leader Rescues y
Comrades From Icy Prison.
(By the international New. servIce.)

(By the International News Service.)
Punta Arenas Chile, Sept. 3.-Sir Ernest
Shackleton arrived here today from Ele-
phant Island, having rescued his twenty
twD comrades who were marooned there
and bringing them back with him.
The explorer, with the men whose lives
he had striven so persistently to save,
which he had sailed from Punta Arenas
on August &c. on his third dash to the
relief of the members of his party, whom
he had been obliged to leave behind him
in the polar regions.
Shackleton reports that all are well
In the adventurous career of Lieut.. Sir
Ernest Shackleton, r. N, perhaps no
single explorer will stand out in such a
gallant light as this climax of his dog
ged and undaunted efforts to extricate his
devoted followers from their icy prison.
Even II in the future he should achieve
his ambition of reaching the south pole.
it is possible that his best fame in history
will rest upon his success in repairing
without sacrifice of life the misfortunes
OF an expedition which he himself ac-
knowledged to have been a failure.
Since his arrival at the Falkland Is
lands, on May 81, with a picked handful
Of his men, after thrilling hardships and
perils in an open boat. he has not rested
a single instant from preparation and
personal endeavors to go back for the
bulk of his followers, marooned OF neces-
sity on an ice-bound island swept by the
storms OF the southern winter
That Shackleton and his little boat crew
would get through seemed sufficiently re-
mote. That their twenty-five comrades
on Elephant Island would ever see civil
iZation again seemed even more so.

WILCOX TO STAY AS
COP. CAMP AIGN HEAD
Both He and Hughes Deny Rumor of
Resignation.
BY WILLIAM HOSTEH.
international News Service

st. Louis, Sept. 3.-Republican National
Chairman Wilcox is not going to resign.
Both Mr.. Wilcox and Charles E. Hughes
regard that story as absurd They said
so today. Moreover, though the fact that
such rumor could start is indicative
of the condition of the Republican cam.
paign. both Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. WILL
cox are perfectly satisfied with the ex-
listing state OF affairs.
Mr. Hughes will embark upon a new
stage of the campaign tomorrow when he
resumes his tour at Nashville. Tenn.
With the speech OF acceptance of Presi-
dent Wilson now on record. the Republi-
can nominee believes that he has some
thing to shoot at and with the address
in the Coliseum last night as a starter,
he will now deliver a series OF addresses
in which point by point the claims of
our friends on the other side" will be
answered.
Mr.. Hughes believes that a perfectly
good case can be made out for the Repub-
hcan cause on the basis OF Wilson'S
speech of acceptance. His close advisers
feel that he struck a good blow last
night when he demonstrated that he had
been in favor of child labor legislation
eight years ago. Also that his remarks
on workmen's compensation and the
other potshots he took at the Democratic
record made deep impression.
He plunges into another border State
tomorrow-Tennessee, of which the Re-
publicans have hopes.

Mile Front.

fBy the international News seryfce-D
London, Sept. 3-"The big push" of
the allies on the Somme is once more
in full swing.
1t was set in motion again at noon
today, when, in one of the most rapid
and best organized assaults yet wit
messed in the Picsrdy campaign, the
French and British pushed their lines
forward in an irresistible onrush
against the German position on front
of more than six miles north of the
river Somme The lion share was
achieved by the French, but the British,
too. gained considerable and important
ground
The net strategic result Of the days
battle is that the Franco-British line has
been Strengthened out considerably and
that the French now stand at the very
outskirts of Combles, the important rail-
way town to hold which the Germans
have concentrated the pick OF the Kaiser's 5
troops and the most powerful guns. A
battle Of unprecedented ferocity is still
in progress on the whole front In de-
tail, the days results are:
The French captured by storm the
fortified villages Of Leforest, east Of
Maurepas, and Clery-Sur-Somme, hold
ing both against violent German counter
onslaughts. They took the whole Ger
man trench system north Of LeFOrest,
along the road to Combles carrying 'he
night to the outskirts Of that town. They
pushed ahead to the east at seve al
points between LeForest ard Clery, thus
adding to the menace Of PerOnne from
the north.
They took more than 200 unwounded
prisoners.
The British on their part captured at
last the whole OF the long and bitterly
fOught-fOr village of GuillemOnt. They
took part of the village OF Ginchy. to
the northeast, and gained further ground
east of the NOuQuet Farm Several hum
dred prisoners were taken by them.
At Verdun the day developed series OF
furious b4JtIes. as d result OF Nn en- rOtn
sides made gains. At sundOwn the fight
in- was still raging with the utmost yiO-
lence. The French war office in its night
statement admits that after a series of
unsuccessful and costly assaults the
crown princes infantry gained a foot
hold In salient in the French line at

trying to break through toward Fort

SWEEP MIDDLE WEST
Medill Mccormick Prophesies Land
slide for G. o. P. Candidate.

(By the International News Service.)
New York, Sept. 1-Medil Mccormick,
FORMER chief of the Illinois Progressives,
prophesied today that Mr. Hughes will
sweep the Middle West
lie also asserted that wherever women
possess the right to vote the Republican
candidate will secure the bulk of It.
Mr.. Mccormick, who started for Maine
tonight. said: Reports have been made
to me from all over the Middle West by
the best-posted politicians of all parties.
They agree that Illinois will give Hughes
at least 100000 If not more plurality. His
excess over Wilson may equal the 90 600
plurality Roosevelt secured over Bryan
in 1904.
About 10000 Illinois women are entitled
10 vote for President for the first time
this year. Nearly all will vote for
Hughes
practically the entire Progressive psr-
ty in my State is lined up with the Re-
publicans behind Hughes. In other States
where the party has been strong, from so
to 30 per cent will support Hughes.
In Indiana Republicans are working
like brothers with the Progressives, This
Is true of them in Kansas, Nebraska
Michigan, Minnesota and adjacent States
My advices from California are that
the Republicans will carry it by a record
breaking majority. The nomination of
Gov. johnson for the United States Sem
ate has clinched that"

LUTHERAN MISSIONS

Special to The Washington Herald
Baltimore, Sept. 3.-The Lutheran Board
of Foreign Mission Of the General
Synod, which has its headquarters in
Baltimore, is meeting with many diff
culties in its work in India because of the
restrictions which the British govern
ment has placed upon everything sus-
pected of having a Teutonic flavor.
Rev. DR.. l.. +. Wolf, secretary OF the
board, said that two INSTRUMENTATION
Americans-are being held up at Cey-
lon because they cannot set into India
and that two other missionarieS-alsO
Americans-are now In this country be
cause the British government will not
give them the necessary permission 10 90

Those who cannot get the British per
mission to go back 10 India are George
H. Trundle. Of Frederick, Md, and Rev
S. c. Berger, of Quincy, Pa, who has
worked for sixteen years in India
a German name, he said, has been
heavy handicap to many Americans in
India. Mr.. Berger for instance Dr.
Wolf says, comes OF a family American
for three or four generations but the
British officials seek to question his sta
some remote ancestor.
DR.. Wolf insist that the State Depa rt-
ment in Washington has rot upheld the
rights of the American missionaries
The State Department in Washington"
said DR.. Wolf, whenever we appeal 10
them, merely send to the British Embassy
and never protest against the attitude
Of the British. This complete submission
TO the British has been a great handicap
to our work in India, which has been car
ried on for seventy years"

AIR RAIDERS DO
LITTLE DAMAGE
Two Killed, Thirteen Injured
in Attack on London.

lBy the International News Service.)
London, Sept. 3.-While reports of the
damage caused by last nights air raid
are still incomplete, Sir John French,
commander of the home forces, today an
nounced that from information at hand
he is able TO state that the results were
entirely disproportionate to the number
of airships engaged.
Reports of ca snalties at hand show that
two persons were killed and thirteen in
jured. Twenty-Five houses and some cot
tages in London were damaged, but no
military point was hit. a gas works was
set on fire, accounting for the early re-
ports of flames caused in London.
Only three of the thirteen airships en-
gagged In the raid succeeded in reaching
London. No lives were lost in the met
ropolitan district. Indeed, the raiders
failed to reach the center of the metropo-
lis, all the damage being done in the out
skirts.
or the three ships which reached Lon
don one was shot down in flames by anti
aircraft guns and aeroplanes. 1t fell in a
wrecked condition near Enfield. at a vii
lage named Curfley. Experts Of the war
office plan an attempt to reconstruct parts
OF it.
Half burned bodies of the crew were
found scattered around the wreckage of
lhe engines. A great part of the airship
had been consumed by flames.
The casualty list is not complete, the
war office promising additional details as
soon as reports are received from some of
the country districts where bombs were
dropped.
The fact that the raid which was the
largest as regards number of Zeppelins,
yet attempted by the Germans, is attrib-
uted to the fact that the new regulations
for light control worked to perfection,
forcing the invaders to grope in the dark
ness. where previously they had had we'll

Inventor Declares Roosevelt Was His
First Choice.

Saratoga. n. Y, Sept. 3.-Thomas A.
Edison, the electrical wizard, Republican
and supporter of Theodore Roosevelt for
the Presidential nomination, today an
nounced that he would work and vote for
Woodrow Wilson. He said:
Not since 1860 has any campaign made
such direct call on simon pure Ameri-
canism. The times are too serious to
talk or think in terms of Republicanism
or Democracy. Real Americans must
drop parties and get down to big funda-
mental principles.
More than any other President in my
memory. Woodrow Wilson has been faced
by tremendous problems, any of which.
decided the wrong way, would have had
disastrous consequences. Wilson's de-
cisions so far have not got US into any
serious trouble. nor are they likely to.
HE has given us peace with honor
This talk about the United States being
despised is nonsense. Neutrality is a
mighty trying policy, but back of it are
international laws. the rights of humanity
and the future of civilization.
Roosevelt was my choice. He has had
experience and is one of the best Ameri-
cans, but the machine-controlled Republi-
can party would not have him. 1 am for

FOES HIT ROUMANIA AT
VITAL STRATEGIC POINT
By the international New. Service,

'By the International News Service. ,
London. Sept. 3.-Germany and Bulga-
ria. rushing to the aid of their hard
pressed ally, AUstria-Hungary, have
struck at Roumania's s most vital spot
the Dobrudta, that narrow neck of terri
tory lying between the Carpathian-Al-
pine range and the Black Sea.
Their invasion is under way. Striking
at a spot, the exact locality of which
was not made public, a German Bulga-
rian army has crossed the Dobrudja,
borders between the Danube and the
Black Sea.
The movement, If carried TO success,
not only would cut off Roumanian ar
mics fighting with the Russian in the
north from those engaged with the Aus
trtans in the Transylvanian Alps, but
would cut off from the rest of Rouma-
mia that entire strip some $50 miles in
length which lies between TransyIvania
and Bessarabia. The invasion also holds
menace to Contanza, Rounania's prin-
clpal port on the Black Sea.

CREEK AFFAIRS
Order Restored in Athens by
Stern Military Measures.

IBy the International News Service.)
London. Sept 3.-The entente is act
ing with a strong hand in Greece
And, under the directing influence of
the allied diplomats and military COM
manders, order already is emerging
from the chaos of the last few weeks
Among the stern measures taken
by the allied ministers at Athens are
the following:
l. demand has been presented to
the Greek government that the opera
ton OF the Greek mails and tele-
graphs must be placed in the hands
of the entente.
>. The diplomatic and other repre-
sentatives of the central empires and
their allies must be expelled from
Greece.
3. The harbor of Piraeus has been
practically taken over by the allied
fleet. The wireless station, the only
means by which Greece can communi-
cate with the outside world has been
seized. The harbor was dragged and
submarine nets laid. with the result
that a German submarine was cap
tured.
4. 1t is probable that the entente
will take over Piraeus as a naval and
food supply base.
i. In theirf campaign of expulsion
number of German and Austrian
agents in Athens already have been
arrested.
As result of these measures il is
reported from Athens the Greek gov
ernment and Venizelists are nearing
a compromise by which the future at
titude of the nation will be decided.
1t is not expected that Greece will
enter the war, but that an attitude of
benevolent neutrality toward the en-
tente powers will be scrupulously OBJ
served, the allies being granted all
rights and liberty of action on Greek
territory.

FLAWS FOUND IN
NEW EIGHT-HOUR LAW
Roads Say Trainmen
Only Sought Money

The position of the railroads
since the passage of the eight
hour law was thus outlined by
one of their foremost spokes-
men:
"The brotherhoods cared lit
tie about the principle of the
eight-hour day. They wanted
more money, and that is what
Congress has attempted TO give
them, although under duress.
"The brotherhoods have sue
ceeded in having the standard
yardstick shortened. 1t gives
them ten hours wages for
eight hours work. Whether
this shortening of the yard
stick is fair matters little. The
principal question is: Can
Congress compel a merchant
to give a full three feet of cloth
for a yard when it shortens
the yardstick?"
