Of SABOTAGE BILL
Penalties for Strikes by War
Workers Eliminated From
Measure.

The Senate agreed to the conference

penalties of thirty years imprison-
ment and $4,000 fines for destroying

on war contracts. The elimination OF
Senators McCumber and Sherman, VINO
declared the labor situation is get.ihg
beyond control of the labor leaders
and Congress should take action
Defends Labor's Loyalty.
Senator Hollis of New Hampshire
defended the loyalty of labor, deciar-
"inconsiderable'' and said the passage
of legislation designed to prevent
peaceful strikes would not tend to IN,
crease labor's efficiency. He denied
lay in the airplane program, declaring
that capital was at fault.
You cannot make men work by pass
ing laws" Senator Hollis said. Il con-
cur in the opinion of President Com
pers of the American Federation OF
Labor. that If Congress passes law
preventing peaceful strikes. that law
cannot be enforced"
Senator McCumber said that never have
there been as many strikes in the history
of the country as there have been since
the United States entered the war, al
though during that period labor has been
better treated and received higher wages
than ever before. The North Dakota sen.
ator deplored what he termed a lack OF
courage by members Of Congress to op-
pose organized labor because Of its po-
litical influence and said the anti-strike
provision Of the bill should have been re-
tanned.
Urges Fair Treatment.
Senator Hardwick Of Georgia said Con-
gress ought to prohibit strikes Of work
ers engaged in the manufacture Of war
necessities and at the same time insure
fair treatment for labor.
Senator Sherman said he believed Presf-
dent Gompers and other officials Of the
American Federation Of Labor are sin

to control union labor, but he added that
Mr. Gompers knows the whole coal bin
in the Missouri valley is on the edge OF

Would Nullify German Law.

An important amendment adopted.
proposed by Senator Lodge Of Massa-
chusetts. would prevent naturaliza-
tion Of Germans permitted by German
law to perture themselves and retain
their German citizenship. The Ger
man law. Senator Lodge declared, is a
''yillainous" dual citizenship provision
and invites Germans to commit perjury
in securing American citizenship and
pass as Americana.
In discussing the Lodge amendment.
Senator Cummins Of Iowa said immi-
grafton of Germans to this country
should be prohibited for q great many
years to come"
Besides providing for naturalization
OF aliens in tho American military es-
tablishment, the bill also would give
the President power to except desig-
mated classes OF aliens from classifica-

them from provisions of tho enemy

BEATING THE BOIL WEEVIL

Ben Hill county farmers are over
coming the menace of the boil weevil
through intensive farming and raising
a strain OF cotton peculiarly fitted for
Boil Weevil conditions. The Garrison
cotton, native product Of Ben Hill
county is proving itself the foremost
cotton to raise despite the weevil. 1t
is prolific producer, bears heavily
and continues to put on squares till
tro5t, giving the forming bolls inn
munlty from the boil weevil. as it
is well demonstrated that as long as
squares may be found, the weevil does
not attack the bolls. A careful survey
OF the local cotton fields is demon
strating this year the above facts and
Ben Hill county will. despite the boil
weevil, make larger crop of cotton
this year than last year, when the
weevils first made their appearance in
this section. Cotton seed of this va
rlety4may be had by addressing The
Editor of the Leader Enterprise, who

ties.

upon which to build strong and cf-
hcient system of rural public schools
than that begun in Ben Hill county"
We of Ben Hill county are indeed
proud OF our schools. Photos of three
oil our school houses are reproduced
on this page There are fourteen
white rural schools in the county and
nearly fifteen hundred dollars ar,
spent by the county annually to trans
port pupils whose homes are incon-
Nenently situated. Thus Ben Hill
county's splendid road system is
made to cooperate with her equally
splendid school system. Last wear
approximately $4,000 were spent for
the maintenance of the schools and
this amount will be increased. Ben
Hill county is~one of the ffty-odd in
the state that 'levies a county tax for
their support.

Hun Chancellor Can Not Speak
 For the People
No Official of Kaiser's Fam fly Can Request. Peace
 For German People.
By Associated Press.

New York, Oct 15.-Neither the chancellor nor the minister of foreign affairs has any authority to speak in the name of the German empire, ex- cept by order of the emperor, Daniel Blumenthal, former member of the Reichstag, from 'Strassburg, and former senator from Alsace-Lorraine declared here tonight Commenting on the claims of Prince MaXimilian and Dr. Solf, in their re- cent notes to President Wilson, that they represented the German people as we'll as the governmnt, MT. Blu menthae quoted from the German con- stitutiOn to show that complete au- thority is in the hands of the mon- arch
 The German people is wholly with out a voice in international affairs, according to the former Alsatian of- ficer, who represents in this country the interests of the French Lost Provinces"
 "Prussian militarism,( responsible for the world catastrophe, draws it's strength from the constitution of the German empire of April 16, 1S71,( which is its legal basis.
 According to this constitution, the king of Prussia is the hereditary chief of the 25 German confederate states"
 Article II says that "He represents the empire in international relations, declares war and makes peace in the name of the empire"
 Consequently, neither the chan cellor nor the minister of foreign af- fairs has any authority to speak in the name of the empire, unless it be at the very order of the emperor.
 "The German people has mo voice whatsoever.
 Therefore, in order to destroy Prussian militarism. the organization of the empire must be destroyed.

YANKEES TAKE
 ANOTHER STEP
 OVER DEfENStS
Move Their Line Beyond Kreimhilde Northwest of
 Romagne Monday.

With the American Forces North of the Argonne, Oct. 15. (Reuter.)- Another step beyond the Kriemhilde defenses was taken yesterday by the Americans when they moved their line up to the St. George and Land- res-Et St. Georges, northwest of ROmagne.
 l.. was the third phase of General Pershing's operations between the Mouse and the Argonne forest.
 The attack began early on Monday morning, but it was not until late in the day that any material progress was made.
 Almost the entire day was taken up in bitter struggle through gas filled woods and over the shell swept tops of hills that separated the Am ericans from the Germans entrench- ed behind wire entanglements.
 To the east of the Mouse the line moved forward to Sivrey and Lafen- ta farm, but just to the west of the river little advance was registered Less effort was made there because the problem was to straighten the line further west where it joins that of the French near Grandpre. It is at Romagne that the Kriem- hide positions swing in a northwest erly direction and there the forces of General Von Gallwitz fought va. lisntly to hold back the Americans. New guard divisions were brought up at that part of the line and every device of the TeutOnic fighting ma chine was used to smash the pres l sure. In front of their wired defenses however, the Germans betrayed al unusual nervousness.
 Instead of the ordinary well con ducted artillery fire their batteries exploded in a barrage of fire on the slightest excuse.
 Instead of these barrages cover ing any counter offensive. they were nothing more than a defensive move and they were laid down at the least indication of activity on tht part of their assailants. One of the most stuhbornly held DO sitions was in the Chatillon woot ] which covered the high hill south o Romagne.
 The Americans worked their wa! around the sides of this great natu raj obstacle forming one of the mos important links in the Kriemhilde. Time and time again they were thrown back, until late in the day.
 Then, covered by their own ,artil lery they were able to gain it's sum init and to dominate the country De yond. Patrols are now we'll in the Ban 1 theville woods.
 Approximately 1000 prisoners were sent back.

CONDITIONS WILL
 DECIDE NATURE
 GERMANY'S REPLY
Internal Politics Will Have Effect Also in Austria
 Hungary Is Believed.

Washington, Oct. 15.-Internal poli- tical conditions in Germany and pos
 sibly in Austria Hungary as we'll as the military situation on the western front are expected to determine the nature and time of the German reply to President Wilson's communication
 of yesterday, definitely closing the
 door to peace negotiations with Ger
 man autocracy.
 The presidents note probably al-
 ready has reached Berlin through the Swiss Foreign Office.
 Reports reaching Washington to- day through official sources by way of neutral countries not only indicat- ed the existence of almost chaotic con-
 ditions in the central powers, but also
 said that it was Field Marshal von
 Hindenburg himself who was respon- sible for the German government ac-
 cepting the presidents peace terms
 and seeking an immediate armistice. It was said at a recent meeting of
 the military leaders and the heads of the parties in the Reichstag, Won Him.
 denburg boldly declared that Ger
 many must have peace at once on the
 best terms she could get.
 He said the armies no longer had
 ials to continue to struggle, nor was
 there any source of supply so far as
 he was aware.
 In the light of this situation, the field marshal said he felt the time
 had come to try first for an armistice and then for peace and he urged that
 this could be put in the light of a
 concession to the demands of the so-
 cialists and pacifists in Germany. Prince Maximilian. the chancellor is reported to have strongly opposed
 such a course, dreading a reaction
 against the junker element by the
 socialists but imperial approval was
 given Won Hindenburg's plans and request for peace followed No indication has been given as to when replies will be made by Presi- dent Wilson to the Austrian and Tur- kish appeals for peace. It is under stood that there is no ground for the apprehension which has arisen in Aus tria that the President would refuse to reply to Premier Burian's appeal
 because of the autocratic character of the Austria government.
 It was said that this might we'll fig ure in a final peace proposal but
 would not operate to prevent the con-
 sideration of an armistice which
 Austria seeks.
 The same is true fthe Turkish ap-
 peal, and while not officially stated, it is believed that the prime reason for delaying replies to both these ap-
 nlications is to afford time for the
 Presidents response to Germany's
 peace proffer to filter to the masses in Austrian and Turkey through the rigorous censorship that exists. In the meantime attention now is
 centered on the military situation and
 renewed efforts to furnish the armies
 closing in on the central powers all the men and material needed to ach-
 ieve military victory in the field.

 To give an idea of the German losses in Champagne. the Petit Pari- sien quotes the evidence of an enemy prisoner who said that the 406th In- fantry regiment while engaged in battle on October l, was decimated. The companies in two battalions. ac- cording to the prisoner. were reduced to 30 men and two other supporting battalions suffered heavily from arr tillery and airpaanes sSs

Germans Are Resisting With Mach.
 inc Gun Fire.

With the French Army in France. Occt.. 15. (2 p. m.)-(By The Associ- ate6 Press. .)-The Germans continue to resist stoutly on the two wings of the French battle front, making, as usual, liberal use of machine guns and gas projectiles.
 General Gouraud resumed his at- tacks northwest of the Argonne for est this morning. crossing the Aisne ana taking Olizy and Termes west of Grand Pre-.
 The loss of one line of communi- cation after another has left the Germans with only two railroads, by way of Hirson and Mezieres. to sup ply their five armies.
 This compels the Germans to make desperate defense on their le1t wing and to redouble their efforts to retard an advance by the allles elsewhere.
 rhe allied positions along the Mouse are dangerously near the p1Vot of Metz, upon which the entire Ger mar operation westward depends.
