invaluable assistance to the tanks.
One tank crew captured the oc-

MEXICO TO FURNISH
FARM LABORERS

Next seasons farm labor supply IL
likely to be largely augmented by
workers from the West Indies and
Mexico.
The constant demands OF war In
duStries in the years before and after
America entered the war. and the op-
Grafton of the draft, have steadily
drawn young men away from the
farms To compensate for this. the
labor Of boys and OF men ordinarily
past the age for active service came
into general use, and in dairy and
truck farming It was found that
strong women could do effective
work.
For maximum production, however,
every effort Is being made TO draw
upon the most readily available labor
surplus-that OF neighboring coun-
tries to the south. To do that the
Government has already taken action.
Mexico, weakened and impoverished
by years Of revolution, has 1000. 900
able-bodied laborers, II is estimated.
who will be most useful in augment
ing the forces OF common labor on
the railroads and on the farms. The
Department OF Labor now permits
Mexicans to enter the country by any
OF the Gulf ports and also by Atlantic
ports as far north as Charleston.
The Bahamas also provide a source
OF common labor. The war has prac-
tically ruined normal Industries in the
Baha=nas by the havoc IL has wrought
in the carrying trade, and. moreover.
the laborers there are within easy
reach. 1t Is thought that large num-
bers can be brought to America to
work on the farms.
Porto Rican laborers are also eager
to work In America, where wages are
higher and working conditions better
than on the island.
Many OF these workers win be par
ticularly valuable. for they have a

PRESIDENTS PEACE
TALKST|RS CAPITAL
ny ROBERT BENDER.

President Wilson returned to the
Capital to find diplomatic and Con-
gressional circles intensely interest
ed in his startling address in New
York. calling upon the statesmen OF
Europe to state their war aims as
firmly as he has stated Americas.
On all sides there was general salts
faction expressed at the Presidents
stand for no bartering with the Ho-
henzollerns.
His adherence to the program OF q
league of nations to enforce peace
this league to be born at the same
peace table-was not. however, ac-
claimed in entente diplomatic circles.
Look fer Responses
1t is felt here that the President
will draw his desired response from
English. French and italian states
men whom he openly asks to criti-
CHE his views on the peace program.
That German statesmen. in view of
the Bulgarian debacle will also re-
spond, Is anticipated. These answers
are awaited with an interest here
that exceeds any previous aftermath
OF a Wilson utterance on the war.
That he asks open air discussion OF
his views Is taken as a blunt answer
to the Austrian proposal for secret"
conferences; and, at the same time,
as notice to allied diplomats that he
proposes to stand by his known de-
termination to have all peace dis
cussion, and the actual negotiations
at the peace table itself, open to the
whole world.
His New York speech Is described
by his intimate friends and advisors
as "the most independent and brave
address he has made during the
war. He struck over the heads Of
all the European chancellors and
directed his remarks to the peoples
of all nations, carrying the direct in
tiination that the spokesman Of these
people must abide by the will Of the
people, or fall. Old style statesman
ship-the kind that enables nations
secretly to barter for profit with.
and over, other nations-must be
relegated to the rear. he purposes.
Comment I'm Congress.
Such members of Congress as
would discuss the address today
approved it
startling in its honesty" was the
comment Of Senator Lewis.
81 believe the allies will agree with
the President, and the Central Powers
will have no difficulty understanding
his purpose" said Senator Chamber
lain
"The speech will lead the way"
said Senator Underwood
"As 1 understand. he stands hrm
for a dictated peace. not a negotiated
one" said Senator Sherman Il
therefore approve It. We all hope
for a league OF nations, believing II
will result In benefits for all nations.
The President has demanded world
justice, and the people will approve
was the comment OF Congressman
Dixon Of Indiana.
Our allies said Congressman Lunn
of New York, Should accept the
Presidents suggestion to comment as
to whether he has rightly interpreted
the superior issues involved. There
must be no lack of unity in our plans
and purposes"

BULGAR PEACE TO
END TURK MENACE

PARIS, Sept. 2s.-The Bulgarian
move Is momentous in its possible ef-
feet on the future course Of the war.
Paris newspapers declared today. II
was pointed out that result Of Bull
garia making peace would be the cut
ting OF OF Germany from Turkey and
the forcing of the Sultan toward the
same extremity as now confronts
Gar Ferdinand.
The policy Of the French press to-
ward Bulgaria's request Is clear. She
must disgorge all occupied territory,
making reparation for her crimes
against Serbia, Greece. and Roumanla.
and accept measures necessary to
protect other Balkan states.
Some newspapers suggest that Bull
garia must disband her armies and
surrender her ornaments before
there can be any peace talk
One OF the prime facts OF the de-
velopment Is the light thrown upon
Germany's situation She IL no longer
able to keep Bulgaria In line and aid
her ally, while Ferdinand deserts tho
central alliance like a rat leaving =
sinking ship.
The Petit Parisien said that. with
Bulgaria out, 1t would be possible to
split the central powers from Turkey.
which would mean the almost imme-
diate capltuIation of the Ottoman, as
II Is already at its last gasp. Then.
the newspaper asserts, the allied
menace could make itself felt on the
eastern front against Austria through
the reawakening OF Roumania.

rapidly. This will give more speed
to the drive, as the troops delayed
somewhat waiting for the guns to
come up.
Artillery, infantry. and the aviation
forces are co-ordinating their oper-
ations closely. The crossing Of the
difficult stretches of No Mans Land
between the rows of enemy defenses
has now been made.
German re-enforcements, counter
attacking at Epionville and IVORY,
were defeated by the Americans in
fierce hand-to-hand fighting. The
Americans advanced beyond the for
mer front battle positions.
According to all reports. the haul
in guns. prisoners, and supplies is
growing.

You realize today that
there never was the faintest
possibility of the Germans
conquering France in this
war. And if Germany had
not been cursed with bru-

many would have known it.
In the inspiration of this
great day the French find
strength and courage to de-
feat any enemy.
The Germans had pre-
pared diligently, violently,
constantly, all MATERIAL
weapons of attack for
forty years.
But they forgot that the
French had prepared THEIR
MINDS AND THEIR
SOULS. The Germans for
got that while they were
living under autocracy, and
drawing brute force from it,
the French were living I'M
