TEUTONS RECEIVE CHECK
RUSSIA'S GREAT OFFENSIVE
HELPS

Athens has become the center of
war interest following day of pan

commander and has agreed to sur
render the artillery demanded by the
French vice admiral.
A series of engagements are mark
ing the Teu.onic advance upon Buch-
Arrest and are developing into a gen.
eral battle. Berlin announces that
the first Rumanian army has been
defeated northwest of the capital af-
ter a tenacious struggle. The cap

Rumanian defeat is unimportant.

Bucharest has stiffened, and Txo-

battle continues in the wooded Car

The casualties resulting from the
clash between the Eentente forces
and Greek troops at Athens is estim-

soon as the Entente troops landed

New York, Oct. 2S.-Fifty mothers of New York's east side, with their children, who have been emanopated from sweat shops by the enactment of the Child Labor. Law, are going to Shadow Lawn Saturday in person to thank President Wilson.

The hostess of this unique party suggested to-day to the Democratic National Committee that Saturday should be celebrated not on- ly as Wilson Day" but by children all over the United States as Child Emancipation Day."
 Children of the tenements have been wildly excited since tickets for this excursion were distributed yesterday.
 No such pretentious pilgrimage of the children of the poor has been at tempted since the one when Theodore Roosevelt was President of the United States and a car load of children from the Pennsylvania coal mines journeyed to the summer Capital at Oyster Bay to petition for national child labor

Lawson, Coal Miner, Tells Why He Will

New York, Oct. 28.-John R. Law son. the Colorado coal miner who has grown to be one of the most loved and respected leaders of labor, and who came into national prominence during the Colorado strike telegraphed to-day from Denver his reasons for support ing President Wilson for reelection Said MT. Lawson:
 7 "I am for Woodrow Wilson because believe him to be the first President since Abraham Lincoln who has been in fact, as well as in name, the Presi- dent of all the people of the United States.
 "I am for Woodrow Wilson because he is endowed with intelligence, cou- rage and ability, successfully to cope with great problems, at home and abroad. He has demonstrated that, with him, >human rights come first, that the lift of one American boy is worth more than the wealth of any man; that the place for the children of the poor is in the schoolroom and not in the mill or factory; that the shorter | worllday means more efficient work men and happier homes; thatf indus trial justice is the only remedy for in
 dustrial unrest, and that true prepa- ledness means the teaching of man. | kind how to live instead of how to die."

MAKING LAST STAND, 6. 0.P. PREPARING TO MAKE APPEAL.
 TO SECTIONAL" "PREJUDICES
Fair Means Foul Is Slogan, and Party Is Ready to Adopt Foul-Democratic Administration Has Been Fair To Every Part of the Country, As Record Shows.

New York, Oct. 2S.-As a last re- sort, in their efforts to win the cleo tion by fair means or foul, the Re- publicans, in their desperation, plan to make an appeal to sectional preju- dice in the closing days of the cam paign. The plan is as discreditable as the Republican charge is ground less.
 The Wilson Administration has been pronouncedly fair in dealing with all sections of the United States. The Congressional appropriations have been distributed according to population and to the requirements of the different parts of the country.
 The Federal Good Roads law offers abundant evidence of this non-sec- tional fairness. The Southern States get $19.377,000, as against $55,622, 500 for the Northern and Western States, under the terms of this act.
 Far from being sectional, the Democratic party under President Wilson, is to-day the only National party in existence in the United States. It has representatives in Con-
 gross from 3S states and Senators from 34 states, whereas the, Repub- lican party is represented in the Sen
 ate by only 2S states and has repre- sentatives in the lower House of Con1 gross from 3S states.
 Most of the important positions in the government service are filled by
 persons from the North and West. The Federal Reserve Board is com
 posed of Charles S. Hamlin of Massa- | chusetts, Frederick A. Delano of H.
 linois, Paul M. Warburg of New York and Adolph C. Miller of California, as Northern and Western members
 The sole member from the South is
 W. P. G. Harding of Alabama. The five members Of the Federal Trade Commission are Joseph E Davies of Wisconsin, Edward N. Hur- ley of Illinois, Will H. Parry of
 Washington and George Ruble ot
 New Hampshire as Northern and Western members, while William J Harris of Georgia is the only South ern member.
 The Federal Farm Loan Board is without a single Southern member It is composed of Herbert Quick of West Virginia, Charles B. Lobdell of Kansas, George w. Norris of Penn
 sylvania and w. S. A. Smit, of Iowa, with Secretary William G. McAdoo of New York as ex-of1cio chairman. Martin A. Knapp of New York and w. L. Chambers. G. w. W. Hanger and w. H. Smith of the District of Columbia compose the Board of Me diation and Consolidation.

Presidents Policy

 Home Conner Reports

New York, Oct. 28.-Controverting the Republican claim that President wilson's foreign policy has cost us the respect of Europe, is a statement by Twyman o. Abbott, prominent attorney of No. 63 Wall Street, this city.
 "I and my wife," says MT. Abbott, "have just returned from two and a half months trip to Greece. We encountered some dangers because Of submarines, but we were encouraged, and felt more safe, because President Wilson had been able to wrest from Germany the promise that, before sending us to the bottom, she at least would give us an opportunity to take to the lifeboats. My sense of grati- tude compels me to say that I wish to perform any service I can to bring about the reelection of President Wilson.

 President Wilson has filled three vacancies on the Supreme Court bench and in no instance did he name Southern man. His appointees are James c. McReynolds of New York, Louis .Brandeis of Massachusetts and J. H. Clarke of Ohio.

that contemptuous regard for Ameri- cans that is commonly reported by the Republicans. On the other hand
 we were accorded every courtesy and privilege as soon as it became known that we were Americans. On several occasions, we were distinctly grant ed privileges which were denied to other foreigners, without any request on our part, and even against our will. Everywhere we found America looked to by the masses as their one hope. The only criticism we heard was in certain military circles, and from some Americans who had been making their living abroad for many years"
