AUSTRIA HAS BUT TWO
MODERN WARSH|PS LEFT
Destruction of Durazzo Severe
Blow-Work of Americans
Brings Praise.

LONDON, October 5.-Austria-
Hungary has at the most only two
modern battleships left, she has lost
a large number of small craft and
now Durazzo. the, advanced base of
her depleted fleet, has been rendered
useless, writes the British naval ex-
pert, Archibald Hurd, in the Daily
Telegram. Continuing, he says:
"Durazzo, practically dominating all
one side OF the Adriatic, was to the
Austrians what Zeebrugge was once
to the Germans. No effort had been
spared to make it an impregnable
port, which would be valuable to the
Austrians as base of military forces
of the quadruple alliance in Albania
and in addition be a pistol aimed at
the allies.
"In the scheme of attack, provision
forces for the cooperation of Amer
lean submarine chasers, of which
quite a number have been working
in the Mediterranean. 1t was an irony
Of fate that whereas. the Germans
boosted of the damage their sub
it was the submarine chasers of our
friends which Travelled about 1000
miles to deal with the German
partner at his very gateway.
The American seamen will be
cordially congratulated by their COM
rades in the other allied navies on
the destruction of two Austrian sub
marines. The attack was a direct
and menacing challenge to the
Austro Hungarian fleet and it pre-
sents another effective blow struck
at the enemy.
"The task of making way through
the mine fields in broad daylight
must have been a difficult and
hazardous one. We probably shall
learn that some of our hardy east
coast fishermen, Englishmen and
Scotchmen, had a hand in clearing
the passage for the warships."

eminent auspices in America.
Secretary Wilson insisted that
women should be paid on the basis Of
production and efficiency: not on the
basis of sex. He declared that for the
with the same degree of efficiency
they should be paid as much as men
receive.
Mr.. Wilson said that only seven
states had laws attempting to meet
the situation created by the pressing
and increasing demand for night
work by women. He declared that
standards of labor should not be low
cred because of the war. He said
many employers were taking ad-
vantage of war emergencies to ac-
complish selfish ends.

tanned from the records, because with
5000 men already on the sick roll and
$500 still suffering with the disease
that would be impossible. A visit to
those sections of the camp where
Washington men were on duty, how

most Of them are still right on the

Now that 1t has been definitely set

to be a 100 per cent curtailment Of
passenger car production after jan
uary l. representatives of most OF the
different makes of automobiles in the
city have started to adjust their bust
ness to meet existing conditions.
Some few will close down temporar-

take on truck agencies or convert
their establishments into service sta
lions, in order to attend to the wants
of those who have purchased cars,
and, together with the sales of used
cars and parts, will wait for the end
ing Of the war.

Federal Control Needed.

ITO introduce state socialism as a
relief for these conditions would re
suit in nothing but widespread
damage. There should be federal
control of elevators and flour mills
with established terminal elevators at
convenient points.
"When the Non Partisan League first
appeared, 1 was inclined to welcome
it, and it was with real reluctance
that 1 was obliged to believe that the
leadership that controlled it was of
such a character as to threaten this
country with evils analogous to those
which came from bolShevism abroad
and from 1. W. W.'ism at home.
Finally, the meeting of the league
about a year ago was turned into a
ghost dance of the Huns-Within-our-
gates, and it became evident to me
that, insofar as they dared. the most
prominent leaders CT the league were
playing the game of sedition and dis
loyalty and that they were seeking
to acquire power by pandering to and
influencing the base spirit of greed,
and envy. and ignorance and class
hatred. They were trying to do what
Lenin and Trotsky have done to
Russia

There are real and grave causes for
complaint among the farmers here in

continued, as he read from a paper
of figures which purported to show
discrepancies in connection with the
prices paid for wheat and in freight
rates, but he asserted that many of
the remedies proposed are not only
false, but mischievous, and very grave
harm may be caused by the character
of the agitation conducted by some
of the men who profess to be seeking
these remedies.
