IN MOONEY CASE

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16. -
The petition of Thomas j. Mooney
for permission to seek writ of
error from the United States su-
nreme court following the refusal Of
he lower court to grant him new
trial was denied by the California
supreme court here today. This is
he last step he can take in the
state courts.
The court said it was without au-
thority to grant the petition as it
had overruled past petitions on
which the present action was pre-
dica ted.
The petition is to be presented to
the United States supreme court,
Maxwell McNutt, counsel of record
for Mooney, announced.

New Trial Urged By Church
Women

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-The COM
mittee on social justice of the So
ciety of the Companions of the Holy
Cross in the Protestant Episcopal
Church of America has forwarded
TO President Wilson this plea for
Thomas j. Mooney:
"We, the undersigned, beg to eX-
press our deep appreciation of your
efforts toward the attainment Of
Justice in the case of Thomas j.
Mooney. In view of the disap-
pointing failure of constituted legal
authority, by the denial of new
trial to rectify the perversion of
Justice in the condemnation OF
Mooney to death by testimony ad-
mittedly perjured, and, remembering
the danger at this critical time of
compromising the testimony of
America before the international
mind, as well as of embittering la
Dor, we respectfully urge upon you
the continuance of your interven-
ton in the interest of equity in this
case"

to British kultur. No women have
been outraged, no babies murdered.
"On the contrary, crime has been
stopped. The quiet processes of
British law take its place. 1t must
be borne in mind the British rule is
never military" rule in the harsh
sense of that expression, except
while the actual fight lasts. AS
soon as it can be done with safety
civil law is instituted. The courts
are opened. The army officers go
into the background.
British colonial government means
peace, rich crops, justice, railroads,
markets, human happiness, liberty,
German colonial government means
torture of the natives, depopulation,
grinding extortion, forced labor, in
trigue against surrounding neigh
bors. To give back Germany's lost
colonies to kultur would be a crime
against humanity"

REHABILITATION LAW FOR OUR
CRIPPLED INDUSTRIAL WORKERS
for Extension of Act for Vocational ReeducatOn OF
Disabled Soldiers and SaiOrs-Says War Demands
Utmost Conservation of Labor Power

federal plan for restoring the dis
abied to health, vocational re-educa-
ton and a job" he continued. "At
that rate it would take ten years
of fighting, employing a million men
each year, to swell the sum total
of disabled soldiers and sailors so
as to equal our present army of in
dustrial cripples waiting to be re-
claimed, already too long neglected
in our factory and munition com
munities, our mining districts and
railroad centers."
The re-education of crippled in
dustrial workers will require merely
an application of the same principle,
an enlargement of the scope and
the full utilization of the machinery
already provided by law, according
to Mr.. Mitchell, since there now ex
lists a well-manned, well-administered
system of federal vocational educa-
ton in which the work is carried
on and the cost shared jointly by the
national government and the several
states.
That the United States is sue
cessfully resisting unjustifiable at
tempts to weaken the industrial
"second line of defense" by breaking
down hard-won protective standards
for labor; and that it is extending
and improving the benefits of work
mems compensation and preparing
the way for universal health insur-
ance for wage earners, including ma
ternity benefits, was the assertion
made by Mr.. Mitchell, who added
"In my experience as Chairman of
the New York Industrial Commits
sion, which administers the work
mems compensation law, | am brought
face to face every day with the
tragic consequences of our failures
to make some provision for restor-
ing to economic usefulness, self as
surance, and renewed interest in liv-
ing, those victims of industry whose
injuries have manned or disabled
them beyond all possibility of re-
turning to their usual occupations"

FRENCH AFFECTION
FOR UNITED STATES

1t is touching to observe on every
hand the affection and gratitude of
the French people towards America.
In France, as well as in England,
there is warmhearted and admiring
recognition of the idealism and un-
selfishness of Americas aims and
attitude under President Wilson's
leadership.
And there is the most genuine and
generous appreciation of the valor,
the fighting capacities and the con-
duct of our troops.
1t was interesting and significant
TO notice how universally the
French look to US for commercial
cooperation after the war.
Through our army's constructive
activities they have seen at work on
their own soil race in which tradi-
tion, surroundings and the principles
and methods of personal initiative
and individual enterprise have de-
veloped daring, resourcefulness, self
reliance, adptability and shortcut
methods. They want US to join our
qualities with their qualities and
their opportunities.
And, strange as it may seem in so
old country, France offers many
and great commercial opportunities
quite apart from the work of recon
struction. Moreover, their colonies
are an empire of immense resources
and vast potential wealth.-Otto H.
Kahn.

WILL GET LATE DRAFT CALL

Washington.-With the utmost pos. sible speed which can be attained by the draft machinery, there Is no pos. s.bility the men to be called by the extension of ages can be called before November. and it is possible they will not be called before the first of next year.
 This is the opinion of men charged with administration of the draft ma. chinery, even though it is believed con gess will rush to enactment the latter part of August or the first of Septem- Der the legislation to extend the age limits.
 Discussion is in progress among con gressmen as to the extended age linn its. Some congressman will favor a pol icy which will call the men placed in class l in accordance with their ages. For instance, 1t is believed the policy to be favored will call the men of 32 and 33 before any call Is made upon the men of 40. and probably that the men not 21 will be called before the elder men, providing the draft age Is lowered to 19, as seems probable.

HUNS AGAIN AFTER PEACE
LONDON PAPERS cRITIclsE LORD
 LANSDOWNE.
Urged to Write Views to Kaiser Peace Must Now Come
 by Sword.

London. - Foreign Minister von Kuehlmann and former Chancellor yon Bethmann- Hollweg are rumored to have appeared in Holland.
 The newspaper pointed out this may possibly mean renewal of the Ger man peace offensive in connection with the new open letter of Lord Lansdowne.
 The morning newspapers are unani- mously unsympathetic with Lans- downe's peace attitude. The Mail anti-Government does not comment, but the Northcliffe press severely de nounces the letter
 "Lansdowne's new epistle will do nothing but mischief" the News said When Lansdowne has persuaded the Kaiser and Hindenburg to return to Germany and pay for the damage they have done then peace can be talked about. The allies and the British stand firmly by Wilson, saying, the agony must not be gone through again!"
 Papers Comment.
 The other newspaper comment in. cluded:
 Sketch-"He ought to have ad- dressed his letter to the Kaiser"
 Approximations declares the present Is an opportune moment to ne- gotiate peace. He is mistaken It is opportune to negotiate with the sword"
 Graphic-"For the present his ut terances will lead to nothing"
 Chronicle-"He wants us to state bedrock terms. We doubt that Lans- downe, If buying a house. would tell the absolute top price he would give"

HUN THANKS TURNED ALLIES GROSS A|SNE
NUMBER OF PRISONERS TAKEN WILL THRILL ALLIED WORLD
 WHEN ANNOUNCED.
ANNOUNCEMENTS ARRIVING
Allied Forces In Pursuit of Germans Have Passed Through VeritabIe Charnel House, Strewn With the
 Debris of the War.

Paris. - Both Hanks of the German appears to have been turned. The French have forced a crossing of the Vesle west of Rheims.
 The number of prisoners captured by the allies during the last two days will thrill the allied world when an nounced. The Vesle river which was flooded owing to the recent heavy rains, has hampered the German rear guards, which were unable to ford the stream and had to fight for their lives. The most of these Germans were kill ed and the rest were made prisoners.
 German reinforcements are report ed arriving in the Sossons sector from the north. The allies continue their advance, according to latest reports, although it is held within prudent linn it's. The allied left wing has moved faster than the right and further progress in the Soissons region might expose it to counterattack from the enemy.
 Allied forces in pursuit of the Ger mans have passed through veritable charnel houses, Strewn with the deb- ris of war Bodies of men and horses are mingled with broken-down vehi- cles alongside of monster ammunition dumps, some partially exploded and others intact. Bodies of Germans found in clusters beyond the range of the allied artillery indicate that se- were punishment was inflicted on the fleeing columns by the French, Amer ican and British aViators.
 Allied troops have crossed the Aisne at several points between Sois- sons and Venizel. The German resiS- tance is faltering on the left wing of the allied advance, while it is grow ing stubborn and desperate on the right wing, where the Germans still retain a foothold on the southern bank of the Vesle between Champig- ny and Jonchery northwest of Rheims.
 Fismes is completely surrounded by American troops. The Germans are retaining a foothold in the extreme northern part of the town, where there Is house-to-house fighting. Crack Prussian guards units are offering the most desperate resistance to the Americans.
