the different towns were good, because
the French box cars have the upper part
Of the sides hinged, so that they will drop
down, leaving an opening to rain, stunt ID

neers, and / could not see where the
roads or equipment were in poor state
But roadbeds, etc, are kept in better con.
/ dition than in our country. Our trip was
slow, because it was composed of 80 cars
or more, and that is a load for any en-
CINE going up grade The houses here are
of stone and mortar, with the houses and
barns hitched together as one. Condi.
tions which we think are most unsani-
! tary are tolerated here, and this is the
rule, not the exception, for France.
"This is a wonderful place to take the
bump off from anybody who thinks Eu-
rope is ahead of America. Any foreigner
who ever tries to tell me how much bet
ter the old country is compared to
America, will have to speak quick and
then run. Every immigrant who is dis
satisfied with the U. S. A. ought to be
sent back just as quick as they can load
him on the boat Some of our |. w. w.
men and anarchists ought to have that
held up to them, too.
Paper and envelopes are scarce, so
am able to write but two letters week.
For that reason | am writing fine. Sup
plies for eats and clothing are plentiful
when transportation can be secured They
are plentiful just because of Mr.. Hoover
and the American people. To-
bacco is very scarce and the next time
you ever see any young fellow smoke a
third of cigarette and then throw it in
the gutter, you put him down as slack
er and call the cop. Over here an Amer
lean soldier dies happy with a cigarette
in his mouth.
"At the debarkation port we went to
camp for three days, and there saw much
of the marines They are certainly fine
soldiers and must fight wonderfully in
the trenches. While still at the port we
heard much peace talk, but now it has
blown over and we certainly are here for
year. We hear very little war news
and it is through the French newspapers
that we get what we can. At some of
the bigger camps American newspapers
are sold, but our billet is too far away
for that"

Increased LIVING Costs.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON. Oct. 2S.-Living
costs increased an average Of fifteen
percent in gun coast, Atlantic coast
and Great Lakes shipbuilding cities
between October 1917 and October
1918, the shipbuilding labor adjust
ment board reported today. The in
crease in cost of living on the Pa
cific coast, with the exception OF
Seattle. averaged 20 percent, the re-
port says. Seattle's living costs have
been boosted only ten percent, ac-
cording to the boards figures
The general increase in living
costs was the basis for the establish
ment of a new uniform wage scale,
for shipworks which has been made
public here. The Increased wages are
retroactive to October /, and cover
practically the increase in living
costs.
Hereafter the boards report says.
wage adjustments will be taken up
each April and October /, during
the period of the war.

Does Not Mean Free Trade.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S--Denounc
ing as "lamentable' alleged repub
/ lican attempts to bend to partisan
service" the "momentous issues o.
this solemn hour" President Wilson
today explained that article three O.
his peace formula does not mean {
policy of free trade.
| Responding to letter of inquiry
from Senator Simmons, who asked
what Interpretation might be placed
on the peace article in question, RE
moval of all economical barriers ano
the establishment of equality OF
trade conditions among, etc." the
president said he meant merely that
| there should be no discrimination
against nations that did not apply
! to others. Weapons Of economic
discipline" he said. should be left
| to the league of nations.
His letter follows, in part:
Il of course mean to suggest no
restriction upon the free determine
ton by any nation of its own eco
nomic policies, but only that what
ever tariff any nation might 1eem
necessary for its cwn economic serv-
ice, be that tariff high or low, It
should apply equally to all foreign
nations; in other words, that there
should be no discrimination against
some nations shat did not apply to
others This leaves every nation
free to determine for itself its own
internal policies of hostile discrimi-
nation between one nation and an
other. Weapons of economic disci-
pine and punishment should be left
to the joint action OF all nations for
the purpose of Furnishing those who
will not submit to general program
Of justice and equality.
THE experiences of the past
among nations have taught us that
the attempt by one nation to punish
another by exclusive and discrimina-
tory trade agreements has been a
prolific breeder of that kind of an
tagonism which oftentimes results in
war, and il a permanent peace is to
be established among nations. every
obstacle that has stood in the way
of international friendship should be
cast aside. 1t was with that 9Inda-
mental purpose in mind that / an
nounced this principle in my address
of January 8. To pervert this great
principle for partisan purposes and
to inject the DOGGY of free trade,
which is not involved at all, is to at
tempt to divert the mind of the ma
ton from the broad and humane
principle of durable peace by in
Producing an international question
of quite another kind. American
business, as in the past, is unaffect-
ed by policy Of the kind suggested,
and it has nothing to fear now from
a policy of simple international JUS
tice. 1t is indeed lamentable that
the momentous issues of this solemn
hour should be seized upon in an ef-
fort to bend them to partisan serv-
ice To the initiated and discerning.
the motive Is transparent and the
attempt fails"

COrreSDOndent.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The CAPT
tai braced itself today for political
uproar that promised to extend from
the white house to congress.
Further blasts in support of Presi-
dent Wilson's appeal for a democratic
senate and house were expected to-
K day from Secretary Tumulty and
other of the presidential advisers.
AT the same time the senate
promised one of the fiercest sessions
of the war period. Republicans and
democrats were both prepared to get
into the fray with violence during
the day.
Both parties worked overtime Sun
day.
For the administration, Secretary
Tumulty made public some 1899 COM
ment from Presidents Roosevelt and
Harrison and Senator Lodge, show
! ing that they pleaded for election of
a republican congress that year to
support President McKinley's con-
duct of the Spanish-American war
Chairman Hays, of the republican
national committee, answering Presi-
dent Wilson's appeal for return of
democratic congress characterized it
as the idea of an autocrat" Bitterly
ldenuoncing the presidents plea, Hays
insisted it was IAN insult" not only
to every loyal republican in congress,
but to every loyal republican in the
land
Secretary McAdoo issued a plea
for unity of support for President
Wilson, similar to the unity Of mill
tary command.
Representative Mott, New York,
declared America would be indignant
If Germany should tell us that Eve
were the only nation at war with a
partisan government. But Germany
would be right"
Meantime, Colonel Roosevelt urged
President Wilson to call a confer
ence of governors to work out plan
that would permit American soldiers
to vote.
Acting Chairman Cummins, of the
democratic national committee
charged that the reactionary inter
ests of the country are not support.

reason that they do not sympathize

Aleppo Captured.

LONDON, Oct 2s-Capture OF
Aleppo, establishment of a great
bridgehead on the east bank of the
Piave and an important advance by
the French between the Disc and
the Serre are the most important
military developments reported IN
the past twenty-four hours.
Occupation of Aleppo by General
Allenby's troops has opened the way
for rapid advance upon Constan-
tinople from the south. Although
the Turkish capital Is $50 miles
from Aleppo on an air line. the two
cities are connected by the Berlin
Bagdad railway, which win afford
excellent communication with Allen
by's bases. 1t is believed now. that
Allenby will seize Alexandretta, on
the Mediterranean, sixty miles north
west of Aleppo, as a new base. Alex
andretta has a fine harbor and is
connected with the railway from
Aleppo to Constantinople by a
branch line.
General Marshal continues to adj
vance in Mesopotamia, reaching the
southern outskirts of Kurkak and
crossing the Lesser Fab river, sixty
five miles south of the important
Turkish base of Mosul. Fall of Alep-
pc has cut the Turkish armies com
pletely off from communication with
Constantinople.
The British war office, detailing
operations on the Italian front an
nounced that the British tenth army,
cooperating with the Italian elev-
enth army, crossed the Piave on a
front of about ten miles, advancing
about three miles. They reached the
line of Cocandelle to midway be-
tween Cimadolmo and San Polo Di
Piave, where they were In liason
with the British fourteenth corps.
The latter captured Tezze and Bur
gomellanotte.
[Rocandelle is four miles west and
south of Oderzo. Cimadolmo is four
miles northwest of Rocandelle and
two miles west of San Polo Di Piave.
Tezze is three miles north of Gina
dolmo and almost three miles be-
yond the east bank of the river)
The French advance between the
Disc and the Serre resulted in prog
ress of about five miles on a front
Of more than fifteen miles Crecy-
Sur-Serre was occupied and the gen.
eral line of Bertaignemont wood,
Landifay-E t-Bertaignemont, Nonceau-
Le-Neuf and Montigny-Sur-Crecy
reached. Advanced elements reach
ed the outskirts of Guise. The line
now is practically straight from
Guise southwark TO Crecy-Sur-Serre.
On the northern portion of the
line the Germans launched yesterday
several counter attacks, all of which
broke down. Enemy counter actions
also were repulsed in the Aisne,
Champagne, Argonne and Meuse re-
gions.
