PoLIcEMANs WIFE SAYS PAY
FROM CITYIS HELD UP
Is the city holding up the pay Of
it's employees who are soldiers?
City Comptroller Eugene r.. Pike
says NO"
The wife Of policeman who went
to the border when his company Of
militia was called out says:
MY husband has been away four
weeks. 1 have received but two
weeks pay, and that not until last
Wednesday.
I'VE stand in danger of losing all
we have, of eviction from our home.
The few dollars we had saved up be-
fore my husband was called away are
gone. 1 was forced to give up our
little girl because I could not care for
her.
q have gone to the ,paymaster's Of
flee each week, sometimes Oftener.
One of the men there finally told me:
1t is none of my business if you are
starving; it is none of my business
if you are going to lose your home;
you will get your money when it is
due
Another man there told me that
it was the intention to hold out two
weeks pay on every guardsman, so
that in case any were promoted to Of
f1cers the city would not be oveTpay-
ing them. You see, the order passed
by the city council says that the city
shall make up the difference between
what the men draw in the army and
what they are paid Gs-city employees.
81 don't know what I'll do. I have
begged Col. SanboTn to release my
husband, but he will not"
A soldier has written from the Dor
der to protest against the city hold
ing up the pay of enlisted employees
while families are suffering in want.

DEPARTMENT STORE GIRL IS
STILL MISSING
Lydia Wiles, 10, the high school
girl who worked at RothsChild's de-
partment store, is still missing. She
started for work Thursday morning
and has not been seen since.
The girls father, J. F. Wiles, 61O2
Stewart av., said today that he be-
ieves she has been abducted or in
duced to leave by a department store
flirt, perhaps a sutton who induced
her to eIOpe.
Several varieties Of fiirts flourish
in the department stores. One is the
"haImless" variety, the men who
simply want to make a mash and
take a girl "OUt for a good time"
Another kind of department store
flirt is the man, most often aided by
a woman confederate, who gains the
friendship and confidence of a low
paid store worker with the sole pur-
pose of concentrating her to vice.
The story has often been told in
morals court of how girl workers in
the stores have taken the first wrong
step because they thought that by it
they could escape some Of the druid
gerry and drabness of their lives.
The professional department store
f1irt directs his wiles against the girls
whom they know are having a hard
struggle to keep straight and who are
leading near joyless lives because oil
their poverty.
Miss Wiles was not forced to work
by poverty. She had no reason, il
seems, to run away from a good
home; but she is gone.

at was amateur diplomacy and
craftsmanship which led Mr.. Wilson and
Mr.. Bryan to assume the right to CON
vict Huerta and declare him ineligible
to become the president of Mexico,'
wrote Taft "The completely of Huerta
in the killing of Madero has not been
established. Huerta himself denied it
and there were reasons for attributing
the act to others.
Taft also attacked President Wilson IS

the grounds that he exposed the coun-

Hanly Attacks Both
Wilson and Hughes

San Francisco, Sept. 21.-The name
of President Wilson today was injected
into the state prohibition fight, through
the campaign of j. Frank Hanly and
DR.. Ira Landreth, prohibition candi-
date for president and vice-president.
Oliver w. Stewart, national campaign
manager for the prohibitiinists, tele-
graphed the president asking if the
"wets" are misrepresenting him by in
cluding his name in a list of "eleven
widely known Americans who "favor
temperance but oppose prohibition.
The prohibitiomsts' campaign train
swung through central California yes
terday, and at every meeting the
vets" distributed leaflets putting
President Wilson ON record as an anti.
prohibitionist.
These tactics were continued today
as the "dry" train started for south
ern California.
In eack of his speeches Hanly scored
Charles E. Hughes for his silence on the
liquor question.

WHALES ARE
THE LATEST STYLES
Cermany's Latest Airship
Said to Exceed All Others
in Speed
BY Carl w. AAckerman.

Omitted Press staff eorrespondent)
With General Won Linsingen Is Arm
les on the Russian Front, Aug 2O.-(By
mail.) Germany, has added flying
whales to her other war wonders of the
air.
A hundred yards away these new
aeroplanes look like giant fish with dou-
BILE fins which have flopped out of wa
ter and lie stranded on their bellies on
the sand. They have four big eyes on
each side.
High in the air they are the most
startling creatures l have seen ON any
front. They look like the flying fish
one sees on the ocean, many times mag
nified.
On close examination you discover an
aeroplane standing about eight feet
from the ground. The wings are those
of the ordinary aeroplane but the body
is shaped like that of fat fish. The
motor is enclosed in the head and at
the sides where the eyes of the fish
would be, are two windows. The oper
ator or observer can look ont from
above the fish IS back or from the sides
through the eyes.
(The censor IS scissors has deleted a
paragraph of the dispatch at this point
possibly carrying more details of the
aeroplane's construction.)
These flying whales have greater
speed, more bomb carrying capacity and
quicker action than any other biplanes
in Europe, officers at the German avia-
tion camp told me.

The wooden and cotton mills of the
East are running to their utmost ca
pacity.
Some grades of blankets are nearly
thirty-three and one-third per cent
higher in price than last fall, and none
Of them are less than fifteen per cent
This applies to cotton as we'll as wooden
blankets.
Chicago and the rest of the country
are paying Civil War prices for sugar
the market on this commodity standing
a few days ago, at exactly the same fig
ure as it did June IA, 1864.
Most other groceries have advanced
in price, and many are expected to &C
still higher. Canned goods has in
creased, since the beginning of the
European war, from fifteen to twenty
five per cent. Flour is up approximate
ly fifteen per cent. All corn products
have risen in price, and even those bar
gains in soap which were formerly sc
common among grocers have been
abandoned.
Rice is one of the few comodities that
has not shown a heavy advance, the
price per pound being but one cent
higher than two years ago. This is SAID
to be due to good crop in the Southern
states. 1t is pointed out that many per
sons may be forced to turn to this staple
for food, in place of other eatables
which are more expensive.
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1916-08-26

European war is, therefore, the pre-
cursor of others to follow. He says:
$50 we start in now to bring about a
ten times worse commercial struggle
and hundred times greater impulse to
war, adding the sense of oppression to
the sense of beaten ambitions. Also, if
there is a combination against German
trade, it will, with automatic certainty,
produce another combination in sup
port of German trade. That means the
world divided against two vast and
hostile camps, fighting commercially,
until they get ready to fight with guns.
Every nation will be drawn into that
vortex, our own included. In other
words, at the end of two years of this
horror, we do not seem to have developed
enough sense to keep out of another, if
these gentlemen are correct"
Mr.. Russell goes on to say that the
German government does not seem to
have been asleep about the possibilities
Of some such attack, and that it has been
storing up ammunition for commercial
war in the same methodical way in
which it piled up guns and shells for the
present war.
Many lines of German manufacture, he
says, have been paralyzed during the
past two years, but many have not, be-
cause the government has kept them
running.
The German government has been
taking over the products of these fac
tories, paying ninety per cent of the
estimated market value, and storing the
goods against the end of the war. It
has now, according to estimates, about
$780, 100000 worth of such goods
ready to be thrown upon the market the
instant the war is over.

News of the World
HIGHER COST OF LIVING

A writer in the Chicago Herald points
out that it is an old saying that every
thing that goes up comes down, but
questions whether this holds good in re-
gard to the present high prices of mer-
chandise, and, if so, how soon the "com-
ing down" may be looked for.
He states that it is fact admitted in
all the big department stores of Chicago
that prices are still advancing, and that
buyers during the coming season must
pay from ten to fifteen per cent more
for merchandise of nearly every charac-
ter than they paid year ago. The rea-
sons for this, according to store man
ayers, are, the European war, the scar
city of both raw materials and manu-
featured goods, and the higher wages
which factory owners have been com
PEELED to pay.
Cotton, wool, linen, leather, and near
ly all other raw materials, have gone
soaring in price, because of the great
demand abroad for American-made
goods; as a result, there is not enough
obtainable to supply the home market.
One of the hardest hit lines of mer-
chandise is blankets. The foresight of
many buyers in the big Chicago depart
ment stores, in laying up a supply while
the price was comparatively normal, has
not prevented rise Of from twenty to
twenty-five per cent in price since last
November.

PRESENT WAR TO BE FOLLOWED

According to some eminent statesmen
who met in Paris not long ago to de-

many is to be defeated first on the battle
field, and then on the trading field.
According to the plans of the allies,
the leading German industries are to be
put out of business after the war; by
the refusal of Great Britain, France,
Russia, and Italy to trade with them.
On the other hand, German indus
tries are to be built up in the allied
countries. This building up is to be done
by government aid, by subsidies, and by
tariff protection.

from London for the MilaOaukee Journal.
