PROTECTING OUR SOLDIERS.

One of the great uses of the pro
ceeds of the sale of liberty loan bonds
is the protecting of our soldiers in
France-protecting them by arming
and equipping them with every means
of offense and defense and supplying
them with proper food and medical
attention and everything needed to
make them powerful and effective.
This idea of protection of our sol
diers has been further enlarged, as
Secretary McAdoo now proposes life
and disability insurance for the men
who go to the front, and adequate pro-
vision for the support and protection
of their families. A conference was
held in Washington lately with rep
resentative insurance men of the coun-
try and it seems that this insuring will
have to be done by the government
and will not be done by private in
surance organizations. Here is an
other wise and just use of govern
ment funds that should meet with the
approval of the nation.
In speech before the conference
Secretary McAdoo in part said:
"It is a crime for a great nation
to take a man and send him to fight
for his country and refuse to make
adequate provision for him and those
who are dependent upon him and
leave them possible objects of the
charity or generosity of their neigh
bors.
I'VE must see to 1t not only that
every American soldier is equipped
with the best that American money
ingenuity and. skill can provide, in
order that he may fight with the ut
most effect and sell his life as dearly
as possible for his country, but we
must see to it also that every Ameri-
can soldier shall go to the front with
the comforting and supreme satisfac-
tion of knowing that his loved ones
will not be dependent upon charity,
but that they are as much entitled
to compensation for what they are
sacrificing in order that he may go
to the front as he is entitled to COM
pensation for what he does at the
front"

FORMATION OF 40
RAKEC COMPANIES
RECENT ORDER
U. S. FURNISHES FOOD,
LODGING, CLOTHING.
Men Who Volunteer VIII Have an
Excellent Opportunity For Promo
ton to Commissioned Officers.

The quartermaster general has been
directed to organize at once forty bak-
cry companies in addition to the ten
companies now within the continental
limits of the United States.
These companies will be numbered
from No. / to So Nos. and 6 are
in Honolulu and the Philippine Is
lands.
The personnel of these companies
will consist of one first lieutenant;
one second lieutenant; one sergeant,
first class, s51 per month; twenty
three sergeants, s44 per month; fif-
teen corporals, s36 per month; fifteen
privates, $50 per month; two cooks,
$3S per month.
In addition the government furn-
ishes food, lodging and clothing.
The equipment consists of the army
field bakery No l oven with equipage
One of these ovens with equipage is
designated as unit, and is so
equipped that it is field bakery com
plete in itself with a personnel of
six men capable of supplying 1,SOO
men per day with bread.
Fifteen l5) of these units consti-
tute bakery company and the com
pany has capacity of 1000 pounds
of bread per day.
This is an opportunity for strong
and energetic young men to learn
trade. Men who volunteer now Will
have an excellent opportunity for pro-
motion. There are about 500 vacan-
cies in the grade of sergeant baker
and 600 in the grade of corporal to
be filled by the most capable men.
In addition to this there will be
vacancies in the grade of first and
second lieutenant for experienced
bakers with the necessary educational
qualifications. A young man with
good high-school education stands
good chance to enlist, learn the bak-
ers' trade, and place himself in line
for promotion to the grade of non
commissioned officer or commissioned
officer. Those who enlist in one of
these companies have an opportunity
for service abroad and good chance
for promotion. The quartermaster
has decided to offer the commissions
in these companies to deserving men
from the ranks.

ABOLISH AGE LIMIT;
SAVE WOMANHOOD

The age limit of large corporations
is a factor in woman exploitation be-
cause the efficiency of many men over
forty-five is lost to the country, writes
F. J. Bailey, in the Railroad Trainmen:
GAS long as the railroads and other
large employers of labor retain the
age limit rules that have relegated to
the scrap heap hundreds of thousands
of efficient workers who have reached
specified age" he says, there can
be no substantial ground for the as
sertion that we must draft the moth
ers of the country-present and pros
pective-into the occupations for which
men are best fitted, to the everlasting
deterioration of the country's stand
ards of manhood.
"Scores of experienced enginemen
and trainmen, physically fit for years
of service at the profession to which
they have given their lives, are thank
full to hold jobs as policemen, sanitary
inspectors, government watchmen, and
in other occupations where their years
of training and their expert knowledge
is useless to them or to the country
because at some time in their lives
they have made technical error, have
aroused the antagonism of those in
authority by the exercise of their
rights as freeborn American citizens,
or have left the service for some per
sonal reason, and having passed the
age of forty-five either before or after
the severance of their relations with
the railroad, they are eternally barred
from following their profession.
"And still the public is informed
that long trains must continue to run
undermanned, and women must be en-
ployed in train service, because of the
Sca arcity of labor
at is asserted that the ranks of the
regiments of expert railroad men
which are being recruited for imme-
date service in France are finding
places for many men who have been
debarred from service on the railroads
in this country because of the infa-
nous age limit. Men past forty-five
may be permitted the great privilege
of dying for their country while Civ
ing their expert knowledge to the
service, but the patriotism of the EN-.
ployers will not stand the strain of
permitting them to live for their coun-
try in the occupation for which they
are best equipped"

ECONOMIC FADDISTS
JOLTED BY UNIONIST

Wages of seamen depend largely
upon organization rather than upon
freight rates is the claim of Editor
Scharrenberg of the Coast Seamen's
Journal, who upsets economic theorists
by the application of cold facts.
"In 1906" he writes, "the year when
San Francisco was devastated by
earthquake and fire, wages of sailors
in the Pacific coastwise trade were
S45 per month. A request for an in
crease of $5 per month was met with
a refusal, altho freights had risen to
the highest point in history. To Sc
cure this modest advance in wages the
three Pacific coast unions of seamen
(sailors, firemen and cooks) were COM
PEELED to call strike which resulted in
complete victory only after three
months of actual experience had con-
vinced the shipowners that scab labor
was dear at any price.
For ten years the wages remained
at $50 per month. Last year an in
crease of S5 per month and substan-
tial improvements in working condi-
tions were secured without strike.
This year, another So increase has
been conceded, making the wages $50
per month.
"The point of this brief recital of
facts is to be found in the curious psy-
chology which impelled shipowners to
fight, rather than pay very modest
increase in wages, when freights were
at the top notch. Neither last year
nor this year have coastwise freights
been as high as they were during the
memorable period after the quake.
Operating expenses of ships have
mounted sky-high, many items on the
ledger having almost doubled during
the last decade. Yet, wages have been
raised twice without industrial tur-
moil-yes, without the threat of
strike.
"In the face of these facts, who will
maintain that wages depend upon
freights ?"

MORNING ALWAYS COMES.
Drning ALWAYS comes.

Morning always comes.
There has never been night so
long and dark and fearsome but at
last it came to an end.
A smiling, laughing sun is forever
creeping up to the ridge of some hill
to bid the top of the morning to a
eary-from-watching world.
The surest thing in the world is
sunshine. 1t rolls away the darkness,
dissipates the fog, and makes crystals
of joy shine in the melting tears of
night.
Morning always comes.
That is good thought for any time,
but it is particularly consoling
thought when your heart is heavy,
and you imagine that you are carry
ing more than your share of the bur
dens of life. If we would only be
as sure of the other things in life
as we are of the return of the sun
shine, it would make it much easier,
especially for those whose faith in
the goodness of things is not suffi-
ciently strong to dare the joy of fine
young open-faced smile without feel
ing that they had done something
wrong.
Morning always comes. Don't be
down-hearted. Set your alarm, and
get up and greet 1t with a smile

WOMEN EMPLOYEES QUIT.

Several women employed in the
shops of the Northern Pacific rail
road at Tacoma, Wash, have quit. One
woman said she did not blame the or
ganized workers for protesting against
women who are placed in the shops at
a lower rate than the unions have
made possible. She said her husband
ddi not belong to a union, and that ''it
is true he does not get sufficient
wage from the company to support
the family, and l started to work to
help him."
The railroads action has aroused
strong protest from trade unionists,
members of women's clubs, and other
citizens.
Writing in the Tacoma Daily News,
2. ]. Pelkey, labor editor of that pa
per, says:
"The real trouble with the North
ern Pacific is not scarcity of men,
but the fact that it refuses to pay a
wage sufficient to maintain a decent
living. The extremely low wages Of
fered by the Northern Pacific ex-
plains it's cry of labor shortage"

LAFOLLETTE ORDERED
TO APPEAR TUESDAY
BEFORE COMMITTEE
Is Presumed Pro German
Senator VIII Make Crafty
Defense Against Charges

Washington, Oct. Ex-senator La
Toilette was today summoned to open
his defense against disloyalty charges
at meeting here of the investigating
committee next Tuesday morning.
The Wisconsin pacifist will probably
be followed on the witness stand by
former Secretary of State William j.
Bryan.
The committee, in letter to La
Toilette today, declared they desired
to give him a hearing ''to inform the
committee with reference to the accu-
racy of various statements, he made
in his st. Paul speech.
'The committee, - said the letter,
"begs to advise you that it does not
concede that its powers extend to an
inquiry into your right to make a
speech--that question being reserved
by the full committee for its consider
alton; nor does it believe itself author
lied to inquire into the motives or
animus of those making attacks on
you"
La Toilette had particularly request
ed to be heard on these points.
The committee expects, however,
that La Toilette will demand a broad
Ell scope of inquiry than it mapped out.
The letter informed La Toilette that
he would be held strictly to sub
sanitation of the truth OF his st. Paul
charges.
The committee has obtained data
from the state department, bearing on
the accuracy of La Follette's S state
ment that the administration knew
the Lusitania was munition laden be-
fore it left port
La Toilette plans to turn the tables
on his accusers. This was the convic.
tion at the capitol today.
La Toilette, skilled cross examiner,
win attempt to turn interest from him
self of the witnesses against him; will
claim he is being prosecuted and de
MED free speech and renew his charg-
es against the press.

age of one mile per attack. Likewise
it was the first time that the new Ger
man system of defense by concreted
shell craters and "pill boxes" had been
thoroughly tested out. British attackers
found them even easier of assault than
the former system of intricate trench
lines.
Abandoning his former strategic
method of making a sudden, sharp blow,
taking territory and then waiting pos
sibly weeks until all positions had been
thoroughly consolidated before hitting
again, Field Marshal Haig struck only
four days after this drive of October
4. His men went on "over the top
again on Monday. Again they gained
great sections of German-held Belgium
-Four days after this second success
full smash-at 5:25 this morning-the
British commander-in-chief has again
set his iuggernaut in motion.
The highest hopes were raised here
early today by the news of this resum-
ed offensive. Firt of all, London realiz
ed that the weather conditions could not
possibly be worse for fighting. 1t has
rained almost continuously for five days
in Flanders. Every dispatch of late has
emphasized the wallowing sea of mud
there. The public therefore accepted the
fact that under such adverse conditions
Haig has again chosen to attack, as
proof of knowledge by the British com
mander-in-ehief that he now has the en-
envy reeling from his sledgehammel
blows.
Momentous issues hang on the Ger
man lines in the bloody Ypres sector
The British drive is a direct menace
to the German grip on submarine base

With the British Armies in Flanders
Oct. 12.-tAll is simply Splendid" de
clared Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig,
today; discussing his latest offensive in
an interview granted the United Press
Correspondent.
"The entire history of Flanders
shows that the soldiers worst enemy is
mud.
"This is true more than ever because
in the particular section here the nat
ural drainage was stopped while the
country was inundated.
Notwithstanding the mud, British
including men from all dominions, and
the French, have overcome both the
mud and the Germans.
The British commander-in- was
full of admiration at the stubbornness
of his men in fighting the elements
and for their going on without whimper-
ing under the most sert of conditions
He declared they were absolutely un-
afraid of the worst punishment the
Germans could offer.

DISMISSED ENVOY
WAS NOT ANXIOUS
TO RETURN HOME
Count Luxburg Had Secluded
Himself On Isolated Uru-
quay Ranch
(By Charles P. stewart)

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Buenos Aires, Oct. 12.-How Count
Luxburg, dismissed German envoy, was
forcibly searched and disarmed after he
had given vent to wild outburst OF
language when discovered hiding at an
obscure Uruguayan ranch, was told in
information reaching here today
The count himself, under heavy guard
is en- route back to Buenos Aires. He
will be held under strictest guard at
an internment camp until Argentine can
see him off on his trip to Berlin VIA
a Spanish steamer.
1t appears that Luxburg, furnished
with a passport and given all diplomatic
courtesies, including complete protee-
tion from unfriendly crowds in Buenos
Aires, decided when he arrived in uru-
quay not to return home. He established
himself on remote ranch. Uruguayan
police finally located him and took him
into custody.
Luxburg, il was stated, was violent
ly abusive in his protests over tins
treatment and became so much so that
he was finally searched. Two revolvers
which he carried were seized.

KAISER SEEKS PEACE

Claims Of France Upon

New York, Oct. 12.-The kaiser IS gov
ernment is continuing its pursuit of
peace by attempting to create discord
among the allies ABOUT the future stat
us of Alsace-Lorraine; and at the same
time is sounding German sentiment on
the question of restoring to France her
lost provinces.
This is the double purpose of For
eign Minister Won Kuehlmann s declara-
ton that the only subject blocking
peace is the problem of Alsace-Lorraine.
Won Kuehlmann s assertion is untrue.
The chief obstacle. to peace is not ter
ritorial at all, but a continuation of the
kaiser's absnlutist rule in Berlin. The
kaiser cannot admit this to the Ger
mans, for he is now using all his cunning
to save the Hohenzollerns power.
The kaiser,s purpose in presenting
the Alsace Lorraine bogey was primar'
ily to find out whether the allies really
intend to fight for France. He has been
answered by England@, Now will come
the second part Of the kaiser's pu'
rose. By informing the Germans thai
hJcace- Lorraine alone is blocking peace
and by pointing out to them that The
allies intend to fight indefinitely to. re-
| cover the province, the kaiser is putting
up to the war weary Germans the ques
ton of whether, after all. it isn't better
to make the restoration and call the
var off.
