RUSS TO PURSUE
WAR TO THE END
PLEDGE MADE TO PRESIDENT
WILSON THAT NO SEPARATE
PEACE WILL BE MADE.
State Department and Russian Mis-
aion Insist That Position of Rus
sian Armies Is at Least No
Worse Than IL Has Been.

Washington. The veil of mystery
bout the Russian situation has been
lifted little.
Word from Ambassador Francis has
encouraged the state department on
the success of the provisional govern
ment and a further loan of S1O0,0OO,-
900 has been made through the new
ambassador Boris Ballhmetieff.
Secretary Lansing made a cleal-cut
and very optimistic statement on the
whole situation on Friday.
The state department has made
public letter sent to the Russian am
bassador ten days ago, in which Pres
ident Wilson acknowledged receipt of
the pledge of the Russian government
that it will make no separate peace,
but will pursue the war to the end.
The completion of the Russian rail
way line to Koeli on the Arctic sea,
may be the fact that will save Russia
to the entente forces during the COM
ing winter. This railroad means that
Russia can be supplied freely despite
the closing by ice of the port of Arch
angel.
While 40 authoritative revelations
of the military situation have arrived
in Washington, both the state depart
ment and the Russian mission insist
that the position of the Russian armies
is at least no worse than it has been.
The great difficulty with the Rus
sian armies once more is shortage
of munitions. The ships provided by
the shipping board and the opening of
the Koeli railroad line will, it is eX-
pected, meet this difficulty in time.

liable to demand better conditions.
These employers oppose restriction OF
immigration because restriction will
defeat their policy of having two or
more men for every job.
Another tendency is the growing OPP
position to labor injunctions, which
class labor power as property. The
congress of the United States has
voiced this opposition in amendments
to the antitrust laws. Judicial inter-
pretations of the term property" in
the fourteenth amendment 10 the fed
eral constitution are losing their force.
What was originally intended to end
slavery has been used to thwart the
enactment of social legislation, but
courts have failed to check the swell
ing tide of democracy.
The trade union movement is con-
scious of the part it has played in the
tendencies above referred to and this
consciousness will be an inspiration to
greater effort during the coming year.

Trade Union Success
In Effort to Shorten
the Hours OF Labor

Labor

President American Federation OF
Labor.
W AB0R Day brings to the workers
of America the right to cheer
and confidence in the trade
union movement. There have
been tests and crises that have proved
its fundamental principles; there have
been opportunities that have tested its
practical efficiency. Through them all
the trade union movement has made
sure progress and gained In confident
vision for the future.
Every national and international,
every local union affiliated to the
American Federation of Labor has
MADE definite progress in securing for
Its members greater advantages in
those things which are fundamental
of betterment in all relations of life.
There has been great progress in Sc
curing the eight-hour day or the short
er workday. The meaning of the vic
tories can be interpreted only in the
light of full understanding of the
meaning of the eight-hour day. The
shorter workday is something more
than an economic demand. 1t is de-
mand for opportunity for rest, recu-
peration and development; things
which make life more than mechanical
drudgery.
The workers whose whole periods
are short are essentially different from
those who are so worn by toll that they
have neither energy nor mind fol-
other things in life. They become
more energetic, more resourceful work
ers with keener mentality and greater

London.-"Hill 304 is again in

from the Verdun front that thrilled
the heart of France on August "a. Not
since the battle of the Marine has
more joyous news come to the peo-
pie of the republic. For the recapture
by Petain's poilus of this blood-soaked
height, twin of dead mans hill,
means the complete disentanglement
of Verdun from the Teuton grip. For
year and half the crown princes
veterans had been "squatting' COM
placently in their hidden concrete cor
ridors on this hill, snugly looking
down upon the battered citadel that
was their ultimate goal.
AS long as we have dead mans

peated assertion of German experts
since the spring of last year, our
Verdun lines are safe and sooner or
later the fortress must fall to us"

Organized Labor in
Fight to Put End to
Industrial Wastaqe
BY FRANK L. MORRISON,
Secretary American Federation OF

Secretary American Federation Of
Labor.
T is impossible to record funda-
mental gains during the past year
because of organized labor's agita-
ton or to individualize probable
gains during the year to come. The
best we cen do is to observe tenden-
cies. Prominent among these is the
workers seizure OF the cry for ''pre-
paredness" to emphasize a danger in
industry more deadly than battlefields.
Government statistics show that 30
600 men are annually killed and 700,-
600 are annually injured for a period
of four weeks or over.
1t has been stated that every year
there are over 100000 cases of in
dustrial illness, caused mainly by long
hours, low wages, dust, bad air, fumes,
smoke, poisonings and poor ventilation,
and that through typhoid fever and
malaria alone $900,000000 is annually
lost to this nation. Enough to equip
the largest army and navy in the
world, and then have a balance suffi-
cient to pay the tuition of every boy
now in college.
A system of national preparedness
that does not include recognition Of
this frightful and preventable wastage
is the preparedness urged by big busi-
ness.
Another element among employers
who talk of the scarcity of labor does
so to entice sufficient number of idle
workers to their factory gates as a
menace to those employed and who are

How Letters for the Boys in the Ma

Be Addressed.

Observation-Disclosures long several
thousand young men will be in the var
ious cantanment camps of the National
army, and their relatives and other
friends will wish to write to them.
In order to expedite the delivery of
their mail and give the boys the best
service possible, the postoffice officials
instruct their correspondents, if they
know in advance the company and reg
iment to which the soldier is assigned,

Pile:
PRIVATE JOHN JONES,
A Company, First Infantry,
Camp Dodge, Iowa.
If the company and regiment are
not known, the mail should be adj
dressed thus:

When all troops are organized the
mail for each man will be distributed
direct to his company and regiment.
Until then it will be delivered through
his state section.

producing power. 1t Inevitably follows
that the short-hour workers are the
best paid workers. With every reduc-
ton In hours there is always a corre-
spending increase In wages. Wherever
demands for the shorter workday and
higher wages have been presented and
urged by organized workers during the
last year they have met with success.
Shortening the period of work
lengthens the period of development,
and for all of the other activities that
belong to the normal individual. In
creases in wages give the workers the
means for taking advantage OF the in
creased opportunities of the shorter
workday The workers of short hours
and better wages become very differ
ent citizens from those who are So eX-
hausted by the daily grind that they
have neither the time nor the energy
for thought or aspiration. These gains
mean better homes, better food, better
clothing; time and opportunity fol
the cultivation of the best and the
highest that is possible to man.

WOMEN ARE ASKED TO
Do AWAY WITH STYLES
Uncle Sam at Last Finds
Limit of Sacrifice and
VIII Not Get 1t
BY George Martin,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, July 13.-Uncle Sam
today asked women to abandon
''styles" during the war.
The defense council woman's com
mittee launched the appeal:
FWear the clothes you have, so
man-power now engaged upon feminine
fads and fripperies may be released
for real war service at home or
abroad.
"Buy at reasonable prices regardless
of style. Don t refuse to buy gown
because there IS too much or too little
material in it. Let us make use of
what we have. Allow the unenlight-
ened men to find fault with you. Do
not draw on the labor market to create
useless things; it is poor political
economy and poor patriotism.
Insistence of women on something
exclusive" to tickle her vanity and
arouse envy in the next door neigh
boris house was strongly advised
against in the committees statement.
Women rushing into khaki also was
decried because "it puts the women in
competition with the government fol
millions of yards needed for troops. y
The wisdom of using up present
styles and having fewer styles during
the remainder of the war to conserve
man power win be seen by American
women, the committee believes. Mrs
Joseph Lamar, who issued the state
ment, said:
America IS women are whole-heart
| edly devoted to the nation S interests
