FROM A FAR COUNTRY

Mr.. Charles M. Ellis, of Banning,
Cal, is visiting his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. p. E. Ellis, in Antreville.
Mr.. Ellis was reared in this vicini
ty and, when he arrived in Abbeville
Friday evening, was greatly interest
ed to find the old town about the
same as when he left it. He could
not find the postoffice and there were
several new buildings on the square.
But all in all it was the Abbeville of
his younger days.
His trip home was a great surprise
to his home folks, who did not know
he was coming. But he expects to
be drafted soon and wanted to see
them before going to camp. Mr..
Ellis, in fact, will register in Antre-
vile.

PRESIDENT WILSON ISSUES
LABOR DAY MESSAGE
Addresses all Americans as Fellow
Enlisted Men.

Washington, Sept. 1.-All Ameri-
cans are addressed asfeIloW enlisted
,aen of a single army, of many parts,
but commanded by single obligation
by President Wilson in Labor Day
message made public tonight at the
White House. "The war of all wars
which labor should support with all
it's consecrated power"
At first, the president says, this
hardly seems 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 striking
at what free men everywhere desire
and must have, the right to determine
their own fortune. Labor Day, 1918,
therefore is supremely significant he
declares, because:
"The labor is not only as much
needed as the soldiers. 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"
The presidents message follows,
in part:
"My Fellow Citizens: Labor Day,
1918, is not like any labor day that
we have known. Labor day was al
ways deeply significant with us. Now
it is supremely significant. Keenly as
we were aware year ago of the en-
terprise of life and death upon which
the nation had embarked, we did not
perceive it's meaning as clearly as we
do now. We, knew that we were all
partners and must stand and strive
together, but we did not realize as
we do now that we are all enlisted
men, members of a single army, of
many parts and many tasks but COM
manded by a single obligation, our
faces set towards single object. We
now know that every tool in every
essential industry is weapon and
weapon welded for the same pur-
poes that an army rifle is welded -
a weapon, which, if we were to lay
down, no rifle would be of any use. "

Punctured Tires and Picnic Blowout.

Miss Sydelle Graves and Miss Doro-
thy Syphan arranged a moonlight
picnic Friday night in honor of Mar
shall Clinkscales anr Wallace Cheath-
am, new members of the merchant
marine.
Like many another adventure, the
going out was easy sailing. Com
fortably crowded in two trucks, the
7oung people went merrily on in the
direction of Due West. When they
got there the cupboard was not bare,
But the coming home was not so de-
lightful. About two miles this side
of the other place Mr.. Tire No. 1
decided to become obstreperous
feeling that he was being imposed up
on, and with a big puff Of indigna-
tion blew out. This woke up Lieut..
Nail; who was peacefully sleeping
in the road, and so enraged that gen.
tleman that he punctured MIR. Tire
20. 2. Well Happy Seal had to pull
off his coat and get to work then,
while "Sun" Kerr breezed around
and told him how to do it. But it
was left for Charlie Calvert to pull the
master stroke of stategy. He offer
ed to take the girls home in his truck
and leave the boys to fix the other
auto. So Charlie dashed away like
an island in a sea Of girls and left
the other boys in the single bliss of
stag party. Though they arrived
home at two o'clock the next morn
ing, Charlie Calvert, so far as could
be learned, has suffered no bodily
injury up to the present time.

Bouchavesnes and Rancourt and the

Bullecourt, which last week changed
hands several times in violent bat,

did gallant work. Considerably
more than 1000 prisoners have been
taken by the British and few guns
also have beer captured.
Spain is to take over all German
ships now interned in Spanish ports

Grave Charges Made
By Chamber of
Commerce.
TO WILSON
TO CURE CONDITION
National Business Mems Organiza.
ton Says Commission Has Lost
Public Confidence-Accus-
ed of Heedlessness Of
Accuracy.

Washington, Sept. 1.-Unsurpa-
ton of power, ineficiency and unjust
abuse of business interests are among
grave charges against the federal
trade commission which have been
laid before President Wilson by the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States.
In letter ser, to the President
several days ago and made public
tonight by the chamber, the directors
of the organization approve and sub
nit a report deoouncing the trade
\commissicn as an irresponsible body
that has lost the confidence Of the
public and asking the president to
remedy this condition by filling two
existing vacancies in the membership
with able. men, "whose interests will
be single to the commissions work"
This report was prepared by the
chambers federal trade committee,
of which Rush C. Butler, Chicago
lawyer, is chairman.
1t presents the following specific
charges with detailed criticism in
support:
"The commission has undertaken
the exercise of functions beyond its
own jurisdiction to the detriment of
it's proper usefulness.
"The commission has begun the
study of important situations but be-
cause of vacillating interest or for
other reasons not apparent, has left
it's work incomplete.
1.-THE commissions procedure, or
isinally orderly and appropriate, has
been changed without public notice
or nOClce TO congress-.
''The commission has abused its
powers of publicity.
prominent features of the com.
missions recent food investigation
were subversive of common justice.
SIN presenting information to con-
gre,s and the public the commission
has been needless of the accuracy and
frankness which it's position and the
circumstances require.
"The commission has departed from
the fundamental purpose for which
it was established"
Tie report sets forth that it does
not undertake to criticise in detail
specific acts of the commission but
rather to point out mistakes in princi.
pies of conduct.

SHOWN
AT JUVIGNY

I1atS Men NUN ToE"oEo anu Soul-
pletely Encircle Germans Caught
Mapping in Town-Harrass Enc
my in Every Manner While French
Bring up Forces on Flanks.
With the American Forces on the
Aisne, Sept. =. (By the Associated
Press.) Juvigny, the ruins of vii
lage north of scissors that the Ger
mans fought so desperately to retain,
is now well within the American lines.
1t was taken late Friday, but not until
now has the publication of details Of
it's capture been permitted.
The Americans consolidated their
positions to the east Of Juvigny last
night, and tonight and after making
further 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 Melville.
>, The extension of the line through
Juvigny was dramatic in addition to
the already brilliant record of the
division that accomplished it. The
German officers were out-maneuvered
and their men were outfought.
Enemy machine guns proved ter
rible barrier to the progress of the
mericans, but it was not enough. And
when all was over the German unwit-
tingly added final touch of tragedy
when they dropped high explosive
shell into the midst of 1877 prisoners
that the Americans had removed to
the rear. Five German captives were
killed and scores were terribly
wounded.
When the objective of General Per-
shing's men finally was attained the
Germans within the town were caught
mapping. The Americans had manag-
ed completely to encircle them. Ger
man machine guns and trench NOR
tars were pointed to the west and the
northwest, but the assailants appeared
out of an arc drawn about their rear.
The mopping up of the town and
positions Immediately adjacent TO it
netted the Americans 225 prisoners.
The German dead have not been
counted. The number is too great.
Two days ago American patrols
were in Juvigny and mile and half
beyond it. The retention of the town
was assumed, but the Germans were
not exhausted and their determination
to contest the advance of the new
enemy who has appeared has result
ed in the repetition of the experien-
ces of certain American divisions
north of the river Marne when town
after town passed back and forth be-
fore the Germans were definitely
pushed back.
Thursday night when an American
detachment, escorted by tanks, en-
tered Juvigny, the German line once
more was behind the railroad to the
west of the town. There tremendous
struggle began and the Germans en-
ployed every faculty to hold their po-
sitions, not only in front of the Ame-
ricans, but in front of the French.
On Friday the Americans were in
structed to pound the German lines
and to harrass them in every manner
while the French were bringing up
forces on the flanks but not to make
any effort to advance.
