Compensation Act, Court Rules, Is Not
Confined to One State.
An attempt Of an insurance carrier
and an employer to escape paying an
employee who was injured while work
ing in another state has failed, for the
justices Of the appellate division of the
third department. New York state,
have held that the contract between
an employer and an employee cannot
be limited under the workmen's com
pensation law to the boundaries Of
state lines. The opinion of the court
which was unanimous, says In part:
1.-THE decision In this case as to the
liability Of the employer under the law
is apparently controlled by that Of
Post versus Burger s. Gohlke ct al,
In which case the employer and en-
ployee were residents of this state and
the contracts of employment were
made here and the employee was in
jured while working without the state
The court held that the New York state
workmen's compensation law applied
and that the act. In view of its humane
purpose, should be construed to intend
that in every case of employment there
is a constructive contract between the
employer and the employee, general in
it's terms and unlimited as to territory,
that the employer shall pay as provid.

Your Flag and Ny Flag


How did we make the flag?
By ruler
By compass. and square and line
With pattern, and thread,and the sempsters tool,
To follow the plain design?
Was it only the lore that the craftsmen knew
That gave us the red and the white. and blue?
How did we make the flag?
Not ell
By measuring stitch and seam,
For part of it came from country call
And part of it is dream
Is vision that led brave souls Alright,
And gave us the red, and the blue, and white.
How did we make the flag?
In peace
We fashioned It fold on fold,
In war it was blend with the grim caprice
The drums in their summons rolled.
Twas the courage alike of the quick and dead
That gave the blue, and the white, and red.
How did we make the flag?
Twas thus
It came to it's grace and worth,
/ Through ell that is good in the souls Of us
! The banner has had its birth;
{ Twas the holier strength Of the purpose true
Thus have we made the flag?
/ All, no!
By colors that will not fade,
/ By sinuous sweep and by deathless glow.
It's that the flag has made!
And 1t whispers today to each star-told state:
"You must hold mp high and must keepme great"

(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Oct. 3.--About 200.-
900 men, representing the third incre-
ment to the national army, were on
their way today to sixteen canton
ments, where already half the ss7.-
900 called to the colors by the Presi-
dent are mobilized. Although today's
quota should be 40 per cent. under
regulations promulgated by Provost
Marshal General Crowder, local
conditions in various states have re-
duced the general average of the
increment to 20 or 25 per cent.
Coincident' with the start of the
third division for the training camps
today, the railroads war board issued
a statement in connection with the
part which the railroads have played
in handling the biggest troop move
ment ever attempted in this coun-
try.
"Including the national guard, the
regular army and the new national
army, the railroads to date have
moved approximately 100000. soldiers
from their homes to training camps
or embarkation points" says the
statement.
IAN this army, except the 32,549
men included in the first per cent
that moved by regular train on Sept.
5, required special train service, in
volving the use of 1880 passenger
cars, including 1,500 pullman and
tourist sleepers. 1000 baggage cars
and $500 freight cars.
"In addition the special train
movements have had to be so direct
ed as to prevent interruption to the
regular passenger service"

Tentative Draft of Plat

(By Associated Press.l J

Chicago, oct. 3.-Chicago today
may become the birthplace Of a new
national party, as yet unnamed,
which proposes to elect half a dozen
United States senators and between
twenty and forty members Of the
house of representatives in 191S,"
according to an announcement Of
leaders who are in conference. In
1920, the prospectus of the party
says, a march upon Washington will
be made to take possession Of the
government"
The new party is to be recruited
from the Prohibition, Progressive,
Single Tax and Social Democratic
groups, the latter asserting its mem
pership is composed of former ad-
herents to the tenets Of the Socialist
party who have found 1t theory
bound and unadaptable to new condi-
tions as we'll as unpatriotic in the

Indicative Of the desire for a
permanent merger the national COM
mittee of the Prohibition party has
announced it's readiness to drop it's
identity as a third party a position
1t has had for nearly half a CEN
tury.
Draft Of Platform.
A tentative draft Of the platform
to be submitted to the conferees, said
to have been written for the most
part by John SpargO. formerly q
Socialist, approves universal suf-
frage the initiative and referendum,
the recall, the short ballot, the execu-
tive budget and proportional repre-
sentation. National prohibition is
strongly demanded and the declara-
ton made that all traffic i'm liquor
must be outlawed. Extinction OF
land monopoly public ownership Of
coal mines, oil wells. telegraph and
telephone systems and other public
utilities and the use of union labor In
all governmental activities are among
the demands made in the Spargo
draft.
The voting strength in today's con-
ference was fixed at twenty votes
each for the Prohibition, Progressive,
Single Tax and Social Democratic
parties. Men who participated in the
recent St. Paul conference of the
National Nonpartisan league have
been invited to be REesent, but not
as official delegates.
The national prohibition commit
tee, which was in session yesterday,
voted to concentrate its efforts in
1918 on twenty congressional dis
tricts and to raise a campaign fund
of 100000 for that purpose. This
plan is to be abandoned IL the
formation of the new national

PROGRESS ON
new DESTROYERS
Is GRATIFYING
All Boats Now Building
Wilt Ready Early
Next Year
FULLY TEN MONTHS
AHEAD OF SCHEDULE
American Navy Will Soon
Lead World In Destroy
er Flotillas
CBy Associated Prsss.I

Washington, Oct. 3.-Such remark
able progress has been made in the
quick building OF the immense fiotilla
|0E American destr0yers to cope with
the submarine campaign that the
navy department now is assured Of
nuch quicker delivery of the ships
than was contemplated at the last
estimate. which in itself was far
ahsad oftthe original time. Progress
on the ships now building and ar
tangaments for others to follow, it
was said today at the navy depart
ment, are such that the American
navy will lead the world with it's
destroyers within eighteen months.
1t is now certain that all destroy
ers now building will be delivered
ready Tor duty in European waters
early next year. Many of them had
not been expected until the winter of
1918. Approximately ten months
have been saved.
The full success of the project,
however, depends on the extra
ordinary powers granted to the
President in the bill now pending. The
administration measure was altered
in the house. The senate committee
restored the provisions naval officers
consider vital to success and the
navy hopes the bin will become a
law in substantially its original
form. It Is now in conference and
its progress is being watched anxi-
ously as tentative contracts are sub
ject to change If the bill is alter
ed.
All new destroyers are OF new
design worked out by the. navy de-
partment and showing radical
changes from any of these craft now
afioat. The great majority Of them
will be thirty-five knot vessels OF inn
proved sea-keeping qualities, adding
to their effectiveness as submarine
hunters. The first Of the new type
has been tried out with results that
amazed the officers who made trial
trips.
The rate of warship production in
the United States has been increased
to such an extent that greater
amount OF fighting tonnage is being
in given time than has
ever seen achieved before by any
power.
