HUGHES APPEALS
TO u. S. LABOR
Australian Statesman Declares
That labor's Cause Is That
Of the Allies.

The following appeal to American
labor is addressed by w. M. Hughes,
the famous Australian political leader,
who believes that upon the work of
American machinists, farmers, and
shipbuilders depends victory for the
allies:
"Workers of America, we are in
the greatest of all wars. 1t is a
peoples war, a fight for democracy
and liberty, which we must fight out
to finish. There is no other honor
able way. The future Of labor depends
on victory, and victory depends as
much on the workers as on the SOL
diers actually fighting in the field.
More than all, it depends on the work.
ers of America, the men building
ships, making munitions, providing for
the soldiers over there.
"You are the great army of skilled
workers whom Germany fears most
of all. You are pacemakers in the
great race against time. Upon you
the eyes of the world are turned; on
you rests a tremendous responsibility.
Not only the millions of American SOL
diers, but the soldiers of all the allies
look to you to see them through to
that victory for which they are fight
ing so 11eroically.
"Workers of America, to you has
come a great opportunity. You have
the power to render a lasting service
to the cause of liberty and democra cy.
The cause of militaris1n is a deadly
menace to America, to democracy, and
to labor. If Germany triumphs, labor
and democracy must fall. Be up and
doing!!"

WARNING TO SUNDAY
AUTOMOBILE DRIVERS

In the stupendous undertaking Of
the government in mobilizing and
transporting the great army across
the seas and maintaining it there, We
who are left at home have been asked
to make comparatively few sacrifices,
if any. The loyal citizens have read
ily and willingly acquiesced in all
matters, believing that there is reason
for them; and while there is no law
for the enforcement Of these requests,
yet being backed by a healthy pub
lie sentiment, they are working more
effectively than a fiat issued by a
despot. We should therefore be care
ful in expressing our opinions about
the work marked out for us BY the
various departments.
If you feel that you could have
arranged matters better than a cer-
tain department head has done, it is
only your opinion and can best be
aired after the Hun has been made
democrat. Other persons have the
same privilege that you have, either
to express opinions pro or con or to
get out their little flivver and take
a JOY ride, both of which are contrary
to public sentiment since the request
though a joy before.
Have a regard for public opinion,
for this is one time in your life she
is not to be monkeyed with. A word
to the wise is sufficient

normal increase in the worlds tom
mage to date, based on the rate Of IN

JUST ABOUT WAR STAMPS.
HAVE YOU BOUGHT YOURS?

There are only about three months
left in which to buy war stamps.
Many who pledged to buy have done
nothing toward redeeming their pled-
ges 50 far, and if they keep their
promise to the government the whole
burden will come during these three
months. Wouldnt it have been bet
ter to have bought few stamps
through the year, thereby making the
buying SO much lighter7
There is a fascination about stamp
buying which grows on the buyer.
Once card is started you are willing
to give up the little luxuries you have
been enjoying Just to keep buying.
We imagine that the person who
fails to buy his or her quota Of stamps
will have cause to regret it at the
end Of the year. He or she will have
much explaining to do.

What It Costs For Each Soldier.

It is estimated that every soldier
in the army is costing the govern
ment in round numbers $4,000 a year
So il you want to get an idea how
much Of the burden your local COM
munlty is carrying, or ought to car
ry, take the number Of stars IN your
county's service nag, multiply it by
5000 and that will give you the
amount it costs to maintain the boys
who have gone from your county.
Suppose your county's service flag
contains 200 stars. That means that
the government must spend in one
year one million dollars to maintain
and equip your local boys, beginning
with the clothes they wear and the
food they eat, and running on through
their military equipment, the ammuni-
ton they use, the cost of transport
ing them across the seas, and ali the
other details, including the transmits
sion Of their letters.
The number Of stars in countyfs
service flag, multiplied by 5000 makes
q very interesting figure in connection
with that county's investment in war
savings stamps.

HOW THE AUTOMOBILE

letter on the use Of automobiles on
Sunday, ID which it says
FThe use Of automobiles to drive
considerable distance to church on
Sundays or to enable workers to
reach their war gardens where other
methods Of transportation are not
available, is in no sense violation Of
the request. 1t is hoped that those
who do make these necessary uses Of
automobiles on Sunday, make an ef-
fort to save sufficient gasoline during
the week days to Offset that use, and,
even if no gasoline is used on Sum
day, a neffort should be made to be as
saving in its use as possible during

ALLIES VICTORS
ON ALL FRONTS
DRIVING OUT BULGARS and TURKS
Turkish Armies Driven Out Of Pal

Bulgarian Army Cut Up and Re-
treats so Miles.

The past week has been most
victorious week for the allies. While
the greatest gains have been made
against the Turks and Bulgarians,
with whom the United States is not
now at war, the general effect upon
our enemies is almost as great as if
they themselves had suffered defeat
The Servian army, assisted by
French troops, routed the Bulgarians
forces in Macedonia, in the northern
part Of Greece and scuthen part Of
Servia. So complete was the dis
aster that the Bulgarian army was
cut in two and badly demoralized.
They were driven north distance
Of sixty miles, and their own country
is now being invaded About $4,000
prisoners were taken. German rein
forcements were also defeated. The
retreat is over a front of about 1870
miles, the second Bulgarian army be-
ing pursued BY the British. This
country is very mountainous, and
campaign is carried on under many
difficulties. If the oriental railroad
can be cut, as planned, Turkey viii
be entirely isolated from the central
powers.
In Palestine, between the Jordan
river and the Mediterranean sea, over
the country which our Savior made
famous BY his birth and ministry, the
British have had most sweeping
victory. Here, too, the French (there
is no big fighting in which they are

NATIONAL PROHIBITION
FOR NEXT YEAR
Only Minor Details to Be Worked Out
Before Law Is Passed. Both Houses
Getting Together.

Both houses Of congress have passed
Che national prohibition bill, but there
are some small differences in the two
bills which must be agreed upon be-
fore the measure becomes a law.
Both bills provide that the law shall
become effective in July, 1919, and
that the country shall be dry for the
duration of the war.
1t is the general belief that after
the law is once effective, the United
States will never again return to the
open saloon,
