a demonstration, for if the other parties
acted likewise the cause of the Father

What would result after our previous

suit Is TO excite the people and cause
conflict of view in this country and
abroad, one sees, indeed, something
that looks like a tiny spark and that
evokes hope of better insight on the part
of our enemies, but it is in general so
weak that the disadvantages abroad
arising from such declarations cannot
be outweighed by it.
These disadvantages are that the
enemy governments, in order to main
tain cohesion and inCite their peoples
give a false meaning to our sincerely
meant words, suggesting that they mean
we are unable to bring the war to a vic
torious end"

CARRIES SIX BILLIONS
Deficiency Bill Passes House
Without Opposition.
Measure Goes to Senate In Practi-
caIIy Same Form as Origin
ally Drawn.

Washington. Oct. 19.-The $6,000,-
100000 deficiency bill was passed by
the House without a dissenting vote
and sent to the Senate in practically
the same form that 1t came from the
appropriation committee.
Before the House took a final vote
several legislative sections were
stricken out on points of order.
They included one for a wal salvage
commission to be appointed by the
President and to recommend to Con-
gress what disposition should be made
by the government of the property
acquired during the war.
Another would have granted author
ity to the chief Of ordnance to make
agreements with local authorities for
the government to pay half of the cost
of roads damaged by army vehicles.
Besides providing vast sums for the
War department, the bill also provides
$107,217, 900 for the Navy and $780,
000,0 900 for the war risk insurance
bureau to pay allotments to families
of soldiers and sailors.

GENERALLY PAYS TO "sT!cK''
Man Who Is Constantly Changing JOBS
Is Not Usually an Employee Of
Special Value.

A Kansas editor complains that mo-
body sticks" in these times of plenty or
jobs for all. The statement is too sweep
ing, says the Portland Oregonian, but
there is truth In it. A good many do not
stick" who ought to do 50. They
ought, In the first place, to cultivate
the habit Of sticking. Some day jobs
may not be'so common, and 1t will sur
prise some of the wandering ones to
find that they have not learned enough
about any n trade to make them val
liable to any employer. The young man
who is doing one thing today and an
other the day after tomorrow is over
looking the chance to establish himself
In a career, and he is breeding in him
self the spirit of dissatisfaction which
will make IL hard for him to be happy
In ali the years to come. Nothing can
be said against quitting one job for q
better one; ambition ought ia be en-
couraged; but the worker ought to be
sure himself that the change is for the
better and not merely for the sake of
change. Employers nowadays know
how great Is the loss to industry re-
sulting from mere aimlessness.

SHORTER LINE READY
German Armies Are Retiring to
Prepared Positions.
Indications Are Enemy Is Carrying
Out Carefully Planned With
drawaI.

Washington, Oct. 19.-While the
German retirement in Belgium has
glittering possibilities, military opin.
ion here is forced to the conclusion
that what Is in progress is a we'll
ordered and executed withdrawal,
probably upon prepared positions.
The fact that reports from other por-
lions of the front also tell of retire
msIts gives the movement indications
of general withdrawal, but as yet no
official information has come to indi-
cate where the line upon which the
enemy will attempt to stand has been
established.
Germans Planned Retreat.
Army officials can take no notice of
the reports Of impending equalization
In seeking the explanation of the Ger
man maneuve in the field. They can
ascribe those operations to very def
mite and well-developed plans Of the
German general staff.
II was said that the enemy prob
ably has begun the second phase OF
the withdrawal he has been CON-
PEELED to undertake as a result of un-
wavering pressure by Marshal Foch
all along the battle line. Lacking the
reserves with which to make a stand
on an extended front, Il Is to be as
sumed that he is falling back to a
much shortened line where he can
show greater resisting power.

Declare Their Independence and
Brand So-CalIed Reforms
/. Mockery.
WOMEN TO HAVE VOTE
Through Centuries Of Oppression the
Hapsbures Are Declared to
Have Broken Their
Promises.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Yhe Czecho
Slovak national council, recognized
by. the United States and the Allies
as a belligerent de facto government,
has formally declared independence
of the Czecho-Slovak nation.
Emperor Charles ~so-cailed reforms
are only mockery--a step to ave the
head of the Hapsburg house from the
justice which the Allies will deal out,
the declaration says.
Through centuries of oppression the
H~apsburgs have not kept their word.
and now particularly that Austria Is
q mere vassal of the Pan-Germans, the
word OF the Hapsburgs is OF even less
worth, the declaration points out.
Women to Have Vote.
The Czecho-Slovak nation will be a
republic. Patents OF nobility will be
abolished. Equal suffrage for men and
women is n of the fundamental ideas
OF be embodied In the constitution to
be drawn up by elected representa-
tives Of the people.
The new nation will share its part
Ut the pre-war public debt, but repudi-
ates the war debt of the dual mon
archy, saying that those who brought
on the war shall pay for II. One
clause OF the document says:
I'VE cannot and will not continue
to live under the direct or Indirect
rule of the yiolators OF Belgium,
France and Serbia, the would-be MUIR
durers OF Russia and Roumania, the
murderers OF tens OF thousands Of
civilians aud soldiers of our blood and
the accomplices In the numberless un-
speakable crimes committed in this
war against humanity by the two de-
generate and irresponsible dynasties."
The declaration says that Francis
Joseph lin the most solemn manner
promised constitutional reforms. only
to have them nullifled by the Germans
and Magyars.
Rejecting the theory OF the divine
right of kings as sacriligious. the dec
laration says:
Declaration Issued Ia Paris.
Our nation elected the Hapsburgs
TO the thrope OF Bohemia of its own
free will. and by the same right de-
poses Them
The declaration was issued In Paris
and q copy was handed to President
Wilson by j.. Cisar Of the councils
stan In Washington.

dependence is signed by DIR. Thomas

and by other officers OF the provisional
