had gone into transports of relief
and gratitude and issued his procla-
nation describing it as a night that
would live in history. Mouravieff,
however, was not yet aware of the
state of feeling among Krasnoff's
men, and he had followed up his "vic-
tory" by retreat. Undoubtedly the
Red Guard were still frightened at
the name of the Cossacks. From his
new position Mouravieff grandilo-
quently announced that he had taken
a strong defensive" post and was
able to ''resist ten times Kerensky's
force;" that is, that his victorious
10000 could resist Kerensky's l.
500 even if multiplied to $4,000.
Suddenly he, too, was thrown into
ecstasies of relief by the news that
Krasnoff was about to surrender Ke-
rensky to him, and that the great
campaign was over.
A Seamless Roller.
In Petrograd, meanwhile, the Boil
sheviki, having taken the reins of
government, did not know what to do
with them. After issuing their sum-
mons to the nations of the earth to
stop fighting for the winter, they did
not move a wheel. The employees in
the government offices refused to
hear their orders, and after a few
Intellectual attepmts the Bolsheviki
ministry" gave it up and went home
leaving the offices to run themselves,
which they are now doing in some
cases. In others they are closed up
and the office staff if enjoying a holi-
day
Russians May Be Awakening.
Why did the Bolsheviki have to
send the raw Red Guard against Ke-
rensky's Cossacks? Obviously be-
cause they could not get soldiers to
go. Why did Kerensky raise only ! )
500 COssacks? Because, obviously, 40
more would 90, and those who did
Immediately repented of their bar
gain. Evidently the soldiers will
fight neither for Kerenskyn or for
the Bolsheviki. The Russian tragedy,
for week, has taken on the color
of farce. But only in Petrograd and
the country around about; all this
time something has been going on
in the south of Russia which is Meth
er tragic nor farcical, but serious and
probably important. Only the most
shadowy, fimsy hints of what it is
have come out; but they encourage
the hope that the good sense of the
Russian people has at last been in
voked against both Keronskyism and
Bolshevikism. The news of Kale-
dimes seizure of the coal fields is the
best that has come out Of Russia in
many a month.

CHARGES MADE A STIR;
HAS She The FACTS?
GOVERNMENT TELLS MRS. HUM
ISTON TO BRING ON PROOF
OF SCANDALOUS CHARGES.

Apparently it's up to Mrs. Grace
Humiston, the woman lawyer in New
York who gained fame by finding the
body of Ruth Cruger, to prove her
charges of gross immortality at army
training camps or withdraw her as
sertions.
She certainly made a sensation in
New York last week at banquet of
the Woman Lawyers Association in
New York, when she charged that
at one of the camps, the location of
which she did not specify, there are
600 girls who are about to become
mothers and that reports had reach
ed her of seven girls similarly situat-
ed who have died at Camp Upton.
To say that this made stir, puts
it mildly. The agitation it caused
among the lady lawyers vibrated out
side the banquet room, and reached
the secretary of war at Washington.
1t started Investigations and denials.
Up to the early part of this week
Mrs. Humiston had failed to come
forward with the evidence.
If there is one thing that has been
striven for in the army camps it is
the health and moral welfare of the
thousands of soldiers. To Raymond
B. Fodsdick, director of commission
on training camp activities, Mrs.
Humiston has stated that she made
no serious charges against United
States soldiers"
Yet the charges which she spon-
sored were nothing if not sensational.
If the charges are true, the gov
eminent wishes to know it. But it IS
felt that it would be a scandalouo
and disloyal thing to spread baseless
charges indicating that all this ex-
emplary humanitarian work has gone
practically for naught. There is moth
ing to show that it has failed to pro-
duce the most salutary effects.
The most extensive provision has
been made for hygiene in camps, for
clean living and for healthful diver
sion. Athletics, motion picture shows,
canteen and club facilities, all have
contributed to create more natural

Mr.. RAT ONE OF KAISER'S
AIDS; HELP WIPE HIM OUT
The Sly Old Gray Rodent and His
Brown Brother Doing Their Worst.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The kai-
ser has no more efficient allies in
America than the two or three bill
lion rats and mice which are doing
their "bit" for him night and day.
The fast disappearing American black
rat and the more vicious hyphenated
gray rat and his brown brother from
Scandinavia, all are doing their best
to help the kaiser and the U-boats.
The agriculture department looks
on them as a public enemy and is
sending out fresh appeals for war
on rats.
War on rats, like war on Germans,
must be scientific and methodical.
No sudden bursts of energy, no spas
modic use of traps or poison will
avail.

ONE SWALLOW BRINGS
$775 TO THIS LUCKY MAN
Mrs Ann Kelly's Automobile Caused
All of the Trouble.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Mrs. Ann
Kelly, proprietor of trucking bust
ness in Brooklyn and Long Island
City, must pay Joseph O'Laughlin, of
No 10 Broome street, SITS because
O'Laughhn swallowed a safety pin.
O'Laughlin was struck by an auto
mobile truck owned by Mrs. Kelly
and operated by John Mackey, at
Watts and Washington streets. He
had just come from a barber shop
and was adjusting the collar of his
wooden shirt. The safety pin was in
his mouth when the automobile
struck him and the force of the col
lision caused the man to swallow the
pin. An operation was necessary for
its removal.

LABOR IS GOING TO OPENLY
ENTER The POLITICAL FIELD
May Combine With Farmer Vote to
Swing Elections. Action Taken at
Recent Meeting of Federation.


Recent Meeting of Federation.
Labor as a definite force in politics
is something to be reckoned with
benceforth If labor and land join
hands in coalition, as was suggest
ed by the Farmers Non-Partisan
League of North Dakota, it will be
a combination that could elect any
candidate.
The decision of labor to enter pol
itics was reached at Buffalo the 9TH
er day at the meeting of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, when by a
vote of 215 to 81, the federation de-
termined to abandon its. non-partisan
attitude to the extent at least of
placing itself in a position where it
may actively enter politics, speaking
through the voice of its delegates in
national convention at any time it
may deem desirable
In the opinion of many labor lead
ers, the action will change the entire
complexion of the organized labor
movement in this country, amounting
virtually to the organization of a
new party in opposition to the old
line republican and democratic or
carnations.

camp conditions and a more whole
some atmosphere. Camp life has be-
come far more attractive and re
spectacle than it ever was in the old
days. Intoxication has been nearly
suppressed and the more brutal i'm
pulses of soldering, as the world has
previously known it, have been kept
in check.
Probably no nation has ever before
gone to war with so firm a determine
ton to stamp out the sort of vice
which has been tolerated heretofore
in armies and about camps than the
United States has shown since it
declared war on Germany. Read the
records of our other wars and you
will find nothing like it.
