Coming state and federal elections os well as the primary contests, the airector general announced in for nal statement to all railroad men, make it imperative that the conduct If all should be so scrupulously guard d that there can be no charge, direct or indirect. of railroad influence.
 Pointing out that while railroads were under private management 1t was common report that their par ticipation in politics was widespread. Mr McAdoo declares that under gov snment control there are no longer ariyate interests to serve and that the incentive to political activity no long er exists.
 Under government control" says the announcement, there is no in- ducement to officers and employees to engage in politics On the contrary they owe a high duty to the public scrupuously to abstain therefrom."
 As definite policy of the railroad administration, Mir. McAdoo announc- ed that no railroad officer, attorney or employe may do any of the following things;
 Be an officer or member of any ro!itical committee or organization that sohcits funds for political pur- poses.
 Be a delegate, a chairman or an officer in any political convention.

 Assume the conduct of any politi- cal campaign.
 Attempt to coerce or intimidate an- other officer or employee in his vote Violation of this rule, Mir. McAdoo says, will result in immediate dis missal.)
 Become a candidate for any politi- cal office. Those who desire to run TOT office or engage in politics must immediately sever their connections with the United States railroad ser vice.

ALL ARE MEMBERS
 IF i SINGLE ARMY
President Sends Labor Day Mes sage to Fellow Enlisted Men" The Laborer is Needed as Much as the Soldier.

Washington, Sept 1.-All Ameri- cans are addressed as fellow enlisted men of a single army- of many parts but commanded by a single obliga- tion, by President Wilson, in a Labor Day message made public tonight at the White House That object is to win the war. "the war of all wars which labor should support and sup port with all its consecrated power"
 At first, the president says, this hardly seemed more than a war of defense against military aggression; now it is clear that it is more than a war to alter the balance of power of Europe, that Germany was strik- ing at what free men everywhere de- sire and must have, the right to de termine their own fortunes.
 Labor Day, 1918, is supremely sig nificant, he declares, because:
 "The laborer is not only as much needed as the soldier; it is his war The soldier is his champion and rep resentative. To fail to win would be to imperil everything that the laborer has striven for and held dear since freedom first had its dawn and his struggle for justice began"

JUV|GNY TAKEN BY AMERICANS
 IN SHORT ORDER
United States Troops Outmaneu- yer and Outfight the Germans Brilliant Feat by Infantry, Who Respond Like Veterans.

With the American Forces on the Aisne Front, Sept. l.-Juvigny, the ruins of a village north of Soissons, htat the Germans fought so desperate ly to retain, is now we'll within the American lines. It was taken late Friday, but not until now has the publication of details of its capture been permitted.
 The Americans consolidated their positions to the east of Juvigny last night and tonight, after making fur ther progress during the day. they control the zone considerably in ad- vance of the village. The American artillery dominates the country for many miles to the east and the Ger mans apparently have been left with slight chance of effective resistance until they reach the broken terrain around Neuville.
 The extension of the line through Juvigny was dramatic addition to the already brilliant record of the di- vision that accomplished it. The Ger man officers were outmaneuvered and their men were outfought.
 Enemy machine guns proved ter rible barrier to the progress of the Americans, but it was not enough. And when all was over the Germans unwittingly added a final touch of tragedy when they dropped high eX plosive shell into the midst of 187 prisoners that the Americans had re- moved to the rear. Five German cap tives were killed and scores were ter ribly wounded.
 When the objective of General Per shing's men finally was attained, the ! Germans within the town were caught naming. The Americans had man aged completely to encircle them. ! German machine guns and trench nor tars all were pointed to the west and the northwest, but the assailants ap- peared out of an arc drawn about ! their rear.
 The mopping up of the town and positions immediately adjacent to 1t netted the Americans 225 prisoners. The German dead have not been counted. The number is big.
 The American troops in their drive beyond Juvigny last night and today advanced about two miles and cap tured nearly 600 prisoners, together with considerable war supplies.
 The advance from Juvigny began at o'clock Saturday and the Americans had gained their objectives by 9 o'clock at night. Ragged points in the new line were smoothed out to- day.
 In addition to the 600 prisoners, two pieces of artillery were captured and a great number of machine guns and trench mortars.

proof of the unmistakable bitterness with

German TYRANNY:
"In the face of new attacks which are but
the sequels of those which we have suffered
for twenty-six years, and which impress
upon again that our ideals and in
spirations do not meet in the German En-
pire, that liberty and that respect which
is their due, one will be surprised that,
reserved and proud, retire into our
selves, and to fee from the oppression of
the present we take refuge in the remem-
brance of the happy days of the past and
in the hopes of brighter future, and that
we say to you:
"You, tyrants of German administration
you are only interested in your territory;
you care little for our ideals and aspira-
tions. We cannot and will not oppose you,
but, still you must understand that the
people of Asace- Lorraine do not incline
toward you their sentiments and their
hopes, their ideals, in a word, their hearts,
but keep them for their own That is to
say: for you tyrants of Alsace- Lorraine, as
for US, conditions have remained exactly as
they were twentysix years ago. Before
the whole world, the unanimous declaration
of our people, protesting against annexa-
tion against our wishes, retains it's full
and entire force and significance; it can
not be effaced from the annals of our his
tory, except by retracton having the
same authority or by the complete and in
disputable Germanzation of Alsace-Lor-

our situation, to endure with patience the
injustice meted out to US, and will await
with composure the course Of events, while
maintaining the dignity of our people, in
the face of historic deeds, done without our

oppresses us, never will cease to claim

"But the question of wearing Belgian
colors gave the Germans greatest exaspera-

signal defeat. When the forbiddng order
went forth every one appeared next day

and some women faunted the colors of

in yellow and one in red waist walking
abreast to thus present their flags coors

further addle the polizei brain. l have seen
three women together each wearing one
color of the flag in flowers fastened to
their breasts. l have even seen the com
bination worn by single woman-in hat,
waist or skirt trimming.
"The story is told of man in Antwerp
who fastened quite a long ribbon of colors
under his coat lapel with only bit peep
ing through the buttonhole. A. German
officer ordered him to cut it off He did
so-and then pulling a new bit into sight

Gully 21 is the national anniversary, the
Fete Rationale of Belgium, and before the
war a TIE Deum was celebrated in all the
churches, but since it has been forbidden
by the Germans, high mass and the Bel
gian national hymn replace it.
Il shall always remember one high mass
1 heard in the beautiful gothic cathedral
OF Saint Gudule. The overfowing cathe-
dral, the courageous priest in brilliant
scarlet surrounded by burning candles, the
emotion of the people, the significance of
their brave patriotism, the endurance of
their abiding faith--thrilled me to the
marrow!

secret prearrangement passed by word of
mouth, the people filed through the Place
des Martyrs, throwing flowers into the
crypt containing the tombs of shose who
died in the War of Liberation from Hol-
land until it overfowed. To all appear
ances they were out for their usual prom
enade, and hence the Germans were mis-
led and unable to take measures to pre-
vent the perfectly orderly celebration un-
til it was practically concluded.
"And yet another. 1t is customary for
the Belgians on Independence Day, as July
Il is called, to lay wreaths at the foot of
a statue erected in honor of the soldiers
that died for the independence of Belgium.
Last year the Germans forbade this and
posted soldiers to enforce the order; but
all that day long the people walked the
street above the monument the men lifting
their hats, the women bowling their heads,
as they came in sight of the statue!

the face of their conquerors, could an. cpl
