War conditions cause a farm labor

They are going back to town as soon
as their war work on farms is finished.
And, while their services are vastly
valuable from war standpoint, they
are not helping at all to solve the prob

COMPERS VISIT TO ENGLAND EXCITES
 MUCH INTEREST

London, Thursday, Aug. 29. - No similar event during the war has, commanded half the interest here as is displayed over the visit of Samuel Gompers and other American labor leaders. The newspapers give mark ed prominence to the declaration of MT. Gompers that the labor men of the United States are in favor of a war to the finish without compromise and will have no part in unofficial nego- tiations with Socialists of enemy coun- tries.
 The Gompers party confronts a sit- uation in the British labor world which on its face appears to be g. del- icate one. Spokesmen for British workingmen are sharply divided on the question of peace terms and par ticularly on the question which has arisen several times in the last year as to whether British labor represen- tatives should meet representatives of the German majority Socialists at some neutral capital to discuss war questions. There is nb doubt that a large majority of British workingmen are with the Americans on the main issues,

SPY SUSPECT IS
 SHOT AND KILLED
 BY RESERVE MAN

Ocean City, N. J., Aug. s0.r--A man believed to be Thomas Ellis Of Tren- ton, 1G. J., was shGt and killed last night by Joseph Meehan of the United States naval reserve. The authorities suspect Ellis of having been a spy engaged in signalling to German sssn- marines off the coast. While resisting arrest for acting suspiciously on the beach of this resort Ellis was shot through the heart.
 Officers of the United States coast guard say two men have been seen on the lonely beach at night manip- ulattng high powered lights and ap- parently signalling to a boat at sea. The government secret service was informed and men were sent here from Atlantic City and Philadelphia for guard duty. Meehan came from the former sta@on,
 After MeehaA told his story at the coroner's inquest today he was ex- onerated from blame for the killing No visitors are allowed on the beach at night,
 Meehan testified that last night he was stationed near the waters edge with D1structions to aErest any per son who approached, When he saw Ellis he arrested him after Ellis had failed to give a satisfactory explana- tion of his reason for being on the beach. Ellis, Aeehan testified, sprane on him and took his rife away from him, Meehan regained the weapon and when Ellis sprang at him again he fired.

REVENUE AGENTS 1. ARREST ILLICIT
 WHISKEY. MAKERS

Washington, Aug. 30-The biggest intensive roundup of illicit whisksy distillers ever undertaken by the gov ernment has just been completed in southern mountain districts by rev. enue agents under direction of 1n- ternal Revenue Commissioner Daniel c. Roper.
 The activities of the agents resulted in the seizure of 4s6 stills, arrest of 200 moonshiners, killing of five out laws and two sheriffs and the wound ing of several other government men and liquor makers. This systematic campaign of raids has been under way for eight weeks, mainly in mountains of Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Flor ida. North Carolina and South Caro- lina-al dry states-but arrests were withheld until today to avoid giving advance information to moonshiners of the activities of a flying squadron of 14 experienced revenue agents.
 More than 30 900 gallons of pale moonshine whiskey was seized and poured down mountain streams. More than $100.00o worth of illicit copper stills of all sizes and other parapher- na1ia, automobiles, horses. mules and wagons belonging to the distillers was taken by the flying squadron.
 About 21 900 pounds of sugar found on distillery premises was conhscated and the most of it was given to the Red Cross.
 Recommendations for 321 prosecu- tions have been sent to the Depart ment of Justice.
