CYCLE DRIVER IMPROVES.
Plantsyil1e Man Hits Two Autos
Hcad-On.

A Harley-Davidson motorcycle
driven by Frank Radsky of Plants
vile crashed into two automobiles
driven by Walter F. Dehm of As
Griswold street and F. W. LOOMS of
lip Harrison street Saturday night
Radsky was seriously injured and his
machine reduced to a pile of Junk.
He was taken to the General Hospital.
where it was said this afternoon that
he was much better. His injuries con-
sist of bruises and decorations about
the head and face.
The accident occurred near the wa
tering trough on West Main street
According to neighbors the two auto
mobiles were going west at a moder-
ate speed while Radsky was coming
eastward about 40 miles an hour. The
motorcycle was on the left hand side
of the road and carried a passenger
on the back seat, although Radsky
says he does not know who it was. At
any rate the motorcycle crashed into
the Dehm machine first and then side
swiped the LOOMS machine. Radsky
was thrown off the motorcycle and
was picked up by Dehm, who took
him to the hospital. The automobiles
were not badly damaged.

or marked displacement or deformity
of any of the toes; hammer toes.
The rules further admonish the ex-
emption boards that the affections
listed as disqualifying men for SER
vice must be present in such a degree
as to clearly and Enthusiastically dis
qualify the man for military service"
The date for the draft of the new
army is still withheld, and may not
be announced until next week, owing
to delays by exemption boards in
completing their registered lists.
1t is the purpose of the government
to release men from service only for
actual disa bility. This also is appar-
ent in portion of the regulations
which declares that temporary effects
Of acute diseases or of any injury are
not to be regarded as justifying a
finding that the person SO affected is
physically deficient and not physically
qualified for military service.
Temporary disability of this kind.
however, the rules prescribe, may be
regarded as justifying reasonable de-
Lay IN completing the physical exami-
nation in order that opportunity for
recovery may be afforded"
Many Demand Exemptions.
Judging from kilograms and letters
pouring in by the hundreds on New
York congressman and representatives
and senators from states all over the
Union, the number of exemptions in
the drawing of the men on the selec
tive draft because Of occupations es-
sential to the prosecution of the war is
going to be very much higher than
has been supposed.
A New York member was sur
pr1sed today at letter from a
prominent soap manufacturer in New
York, who pointed out that in all the
European countries at war it has been
considered vitality essential as a mat
ter of national sanitation, to keep the
soap factories in full operation.
This flood Of applications on top Of
the announcement by Secretary of
War Baker that not only would the
first increment Of $4,000 and the
second increment of 100000 men be
raised from the present drawing, but
that the ranks would be kept full out
of the list thus obtained, adds to the
certainty that virtually every man who
is registered and has no good excuse
for exemption will find himself in a
uniform unless peace comes sooner
than any one really hopes for.

LABOR ALLIANCE
5
BACKS GOVERNMENT
New Organization to Guarantee
Support During War

New York, July 3O.-With Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor at its head, the
American Alliance for Labor and
Democracy was formed yesterday in
this city to make it certain that the
American government receives the
support of labor during the war, and
that nothing is done in the. name
of labor to hinder the defeat OF the
German government. On March IL.
the labor leaders Of the country as
sembled in Washington adopted this
pledge:
We, the officers of the national
and international trade unions of
America in national conference
assembled in. the capital OF our
nation hereby pledge ourselves
in peace or in war, in stress, or
in storm, to stand unreservedly
by the standards Of liberty and
the safety and preservation OF the
ideals of our republic.
1t is to carry out this pledge, its
leaders say. that the alliance was
formed Incidentally it will aim at
combating the influence of the So
cialists Workmen's council, of which
is one of the leading spirits. This Or
ganization has already started a prop
uganda which is regarded by the more
conservative labor men as dangerous
to the successful prosecution of the
war, in which the efficient conduct Of
the industrial forces Of the nation is
essential to success.
Frank Morrison, secretary of the
A H.
made vice chairman of the alliance;
Robert Maisel was made director Of
publicity, and the following advisory
council was named; Ernest Bonan,
secretary of the Central Federation
Union of Manhattan; James P. Hol-
land, president of the New York
state Federation of Labor; Chester M
Wright, former editor of The New
York Call; w. L. Small Of the Typo
graphical Union of Newark; David J.
Berry, manager of the National Labor
Journal of Pittsburgh; Joseph Baron
dess, member of the New York City
board of education, and Hugh Frayne,
general organizer OF the American
Federation of Labor, who has just
been named member of the National
War Industries board. Offices will be
opened at $50 Broadway this week
and Immediately the work of organ
izing branches Of the alliance all over
the country will be begun. The alli-
ance will conduct an extensive pub
licity campaign.
1t was asserted on behalf of the al
lance that it was considered that the
success of the socialistic propaganda
under way in the United States
would work to the benefit of the
enemies of the nation. The alliance
will give full attention to all labor &C
tivities throughout the country and
the full strength of this outgrowth of
the Federation of Labor will be- di-
rected at keeping the industrial
strength Of the nation at the maxi
mum. Mr.. Gompers, it is asserted by
his friends, is determined that nothing
he can do will be left undone to re-
deem the pledges the labor leaders
gave last March that there would be
no true charge made against the pa
triotism of American labor.

Gains Made in Early Trading Are
Quickly Wiped Out

Wall street-War shares and equip
ments formed the bulk of today's
early dealings. The more prominent
issues showed gains ranging from
large fractions to point. Stee1s,
Baldwin Locomotive, Industrial Alco-
hol and Ohio Gas were most active
but shippings and motors were irreg-
ular or reactionary. Rails and cop
pers retained all of their recent slug
gish tendencies
Most gains were lost before the end
OF the first hour, sales for that period
barely exceeding 100000 shares, with
greater dizziness and further recess
sions later. U. S. Steel reacted 1 IA
points and other industrials yielded

Of comparative strength included
Marine preferred and Alcohol at
gains of 1 and 2 respectively. Oils
and sugars comprised the heavy
specialties and rail also fell back.

Mr.. Wells 8 Religion

GOD THE INVISIBLE KING By II. q Wells.
l3mo pp. ~. The Macmillan Company.
Mr.. Wells now gives US his Credo.
He has hitherto given US baker )
dozen of novels, browning the lot with
the inimitable Mr.. Britling; a dozen
less one romances of fantasy; nearly
as many books on social and political
topics; and various children's books
and short stories. In some Of his re-
cent works there has been an increas-
ing tendency toward religious relig-
ious, rather than theological specula-
ton, and it is not surprising, therefore,
but most agreeable, that he now gives
US little volume entirely devoted TO
religious discussion and to an explicit
statement Of his own spiritual belief.
II would be superfuous TO say that
is to be unorthodox. But ne is serl-
Gus, reverent and devout Paradox
cally, he rejectes Christianity. but
strongly accepts the essentially Chris
tian doctrine of a personal God who
is the Redeemer of the world. OF God
as the Creator he has little concep-
ton, preferring to regard Him as
Yelled Being, or First Great Cause,
least understood" But in God the
Redeemer he has absolute and aggres-
sve faith, and he looks for the COM
plete establishment of His Kingdom
in the world in the near future
the next generation or two.
There will be widespread dissent
from much Of his belief But there
will be general respect for it, and
We shall expect to see his statement
Of it provoke and stimulate much dis
cussion among the orthodox and UNI
orthodox, and among all who think
seriously upon the things which per-
tain TO the soul of man.
