DEBATE IN THE
 SENATE ON THE
 WILSON APPEAL
Republicans Object to Presi- dents Call For Democratic COngress-Defended by the Democrats.

Washington, Oct 28.-Peace nego- tiations and President Wilson's state ment asking his fellow countrymen to return a Democratic congress in the November elections were the vehicles of a partisan debate in the senate to- day which continued throughout the session and blocked the plans for ad- iournment of congress tomorrow over the elections.
 The discussion, which was opened by Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, Re publican and former secretary of state, with an attack on the presi- dents appeal to the electorate, be- came general among the dozen sena- tors present. Republicans sharply criticised the president for carrying on peace discussions with the central powers and for enunciating terms and principles of peace.
 Senator Knox said that the presi- dents appeal raised the question whether the will of the president or the will of the American people is to determine the policy of this country in ending the war, while Senator Poin- dexter, of Washington, Republican. said the president assumed more au- thority than is given under the con stitution in fixing peace terms.
 Democratic senators vigorously de- tended the president, with Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, chairman of the foreign relations committee, the chief spokesman. Answering the Re publican contentious that in his third principle against economic barrier, the president was attempting to in iect free trade into the peace treaty. Senator Hitchcock read a letter from left every nation free to decide it's own internal economic policy, but that tariffs adopted should apply to all nations alike. Before the senate met similar letter addressed to Senator Simmons of North Carolina, had been made public. Both Sena- tors Knox and PoindeXter said the letters clearly demonstrated that the president favors admitting Germany to the proposed league of nations as an equal partner" and with assur- ances against discriminatory treat ment.

CAMP PIKE LOSES 1000
 PORTO RICAN LABORERS

Little Rock, Oct 2S.-LOST-100O Porto Rican laborers. Finders will please advise the government labor authorities in Little Rock.
 It seems strange that such a large body of laborers should get lost, but nevertheless it is fact in this in stance. For the past two months the government has been importing thou sands of Porto Ricans into the United States for war work. A contingent arrived in New Orleans two weeks ago headed for Camp Pike and in some way they were headed off and switched to another camp. The rep resentatives of the various govern ment enterprises seem to be decidedly friendly to each other, and the mere cutting of train in two, leaving baggage cars to go on to one place, and the taking of the passenger coaches containing the muchly sought for laborers to another, is but little joke that any one is liable to play on another. It was in this way that Camp Pike lost 500 Porto Ricans re- gently. They were later located in Tennessee and Alabama, and have been again rounded up and headed this way.
 Several weeks ago another large shipment was received at the picric

KAISER SHOULD
 ABDICATE SAYS
 GERMAN LEADER
Expression in the Reichstag In- dicates That Germany Has Free Speech-Involves War or Peace.

Amsterdam, Oct. 2S. - Exciting scenes occurred in the German reich stag during the proceedings of the house on Friday and Saturday.
 In the course of the discussion the Polish deputy Korgantz hotly attack ed the Polish policy of the govern ment He declared that in Chemnitz alone the war raw materials depart ment sold S,000.000 marks worth of carpets and other goods taken from Poland. Seven hundred thousand poor Polish people were carried off to Ger many, where they led the lives of slaves, while General Piludski (of the Polish legion) whom the Polish na- tion regarded highly, was still held in the fortress at Madgeburg, despite all appeals The deputy concluded;
 We are not blaming the German people for these prosecutions, but Ger man militarism. We extend the hand of reconciliation to the German people iOl bIiN
 The independent socialist, Dr. Cohn, who declared that the war was lost after the first battle of the Marne, said that General Ludendortf at the end of September proposed the for mation of a government empowered to negotiate an armistice with Presi dent Wilson, and it was impossible to guarantee the maintenance of the war much longer.
 The question cannot longer be evaded," said Dr. Cohn, war with the Hohenzollerns or peace without the Hohenzollerns. World revolution will follow on world imperialism and world militiarsm, and We will over come them We extend our hand to our friends beyond the frontier in this struggle"
 Another socialist, Otto Ruehle, was called to order for declaring that the emperor must abdicate. He retorted: "A call to order won't save him from a criminal court"
 The house debated the bill amend ing the constitution, which was pass ed Saturday. Several spectators dis played anxiety to show that the re- forms were not dictated by the enemy but had been advocated since the spring of 1917.
