ATTEMPT Is MADE TO I
PREVENT PORTO RICANS
FROM DOING WAR WORK

San JUAN Porto RIGA, Nov. 5.-An
attempt to prevent or impede the
mobilization of Porto Rican laborers
for transportation to the mainland for
work in war industries has been dis
covered by the United States employ
ment office in San Juan. Special Ag-
ent Roberts declares such action is
directly against the vital interests Of
the nation and that if the persons re-
sponsibde are found cut they will be
severely dealt with by the federal
authorities.
The fact that 5000 Porto Rican
workmen have already left the island
and that many more will leave has
aroused resentment and opposition,
and an effort to discourage men from
Joining the outgoing army of work.
ers has been going on for at least a
couple of, weeks.
One large town where two weeks
ago last Sunday it was arranged to
hold a mass meeting to explain to the
laborers the purpose for which they
were sent north and the treatment
they would receive, it is said that the
agents employed by he sugar men of
the vicinity were out offering all the
cane workers $3.50 to continue work
during the entire day. Recently the
assistant examiners in Gyayams stat
ed that the work of filling the quota
was being held back by the discourage
ing reports and accounts Of the war
work disseminated among the men.
"It is the kind of thing that the I.
w. W. has been charged with doing
in the mainland" says Mr.. Roberts.

"What have you in your hands :" a
soldier demanded of TiszA. ~
Tisza replied that he held a revol-

away. but Tisza replied:
II shall not, because you have not
laid aside your rifles"
The soldiers then requested the w.
men to leave the room but they declin.

Tisza as follows:

Of Allied Armies Growing Rapidly.
The necessity Of keeping an eye
upon the importance Of sea power in
the present conflict, despite the close
attention claimed by the land. battles,
Is emphasized by Archibald Hurd. the
naval expert, writing in the London
Daily Telegraph. a
I'VE have been apt during the recent
ofensives on the western 'front.'" MI.
Hurd writes, Ito overlook other as
poets Of the war-notably the fu1da-
mental factor. which is sea power.
After a period of fifteen months. dur
ing which u strength in ships has
steadily declined, the downward ten
dency now has been definitely arrest
ed. Not only is our sea power increas-
ing, but our grip on the enemy is firm
er than at any previous period Of the
war.
100000 Tons Of Shipping.
"Seven million tons Of shipping en-
ter or leave u ports monthly. Each
ship is the target for enemy subma.
rines, yet there have been days in the
present week when the enemy has not
secured a single ship.
"Twelve months ago we were with.
difficulty maintaining one stream Of
traffic, namely, that which brought NJ
food and raw material Today sup.
plies are flowing through this main
artery in greater volume than a year
ago. At the same time another stream
Of traffic has started and merchant
shipping has been made available for
the greatest transport movement which
has ever been carried out.
"For three months past American
troops have been coming across the
Atlantic by tens of thousands. far fast

tween the allies and the central pow.

Reason for Confidence.
sViewing the war in its various "a.
pects-naval, military and economic
we have every eason for confidence.
The tide is distinctly turning, and turn
ing, let us hope, for the last time. The
submarine menace is being held. The
allied armies are increasing in rela.
tive strength. The food position Of
this country, Of France and Of Italy ia
improving, and shipbuilding, both in
British and American yards. is pro.
ceeding at a greatly accelerated pace
There is assurance that by the end OF
December at least 100000 tons will
have been put into the water here and

may be considerably exceeded.

I'm a word, the relative naval, mill

when the enemy Is feeling the cumula

over a period Of nearly four years
with increasing stringency. and Of thu
