As the parade passed 9th street

the rim of the kettle. That mule
stretched it's neck. wiped off all
the overflow nicely with it's

Progressives Welcome.

Mr.. Wilson was welcomed by Cali
fornia progressives. and on all the
committees were prominent repub-
licans, notably stanch supporters of
Hiram johnson, who followed him on
domest issues, but who disagree
with him on the league Of nations.
Chester II. Rowell, who was Johnson 8
campaign manager, is outspokenly for
the covenant Of the league, but says
he has by no means deserted Johnson
politically.
Woman voters especially are lined
up on the league of nations issue ir-
respective Of their previous support OF
Senator johnson, though when The
latter gets to California he may be
sbje to swing them into line by the
rower OF his oratorical personality.
On the whole, it IS easy to see that
the Wilson strength. with the ex-
ception Of many Irish sympathizers, is
still a solid and substantial part of
the community. and added to that is
large section of Caiifornias popu-
lation who might be counted as
Johnson republicans.
Many Friends on Coast.
Judging by observations in San
Francisco, the covenant has a multi
tude Of friends in California, and a
great many moro by far than one

As to Irish Freedom.

The President was asked if he
thought the league forwarded or him
dered the cause of Irish freedom, and
in answer pointed to the privilege of
any nation to bring up any subject in
the assembly. Thus what the Ameri-
cans like Frank Walsh and former
Gov. Dunno tried to do at Paris, but
were prevented from doing because of
the delicacies of international law
now existing between friendly ma
tionss it would not be indelicate or
improper for the United States gov
ernment itself to sanction.
Americas representative at the
league Of nations would, in Mr.. Will
sons opinion, not be required to ask
anybody's permission to bring in the
delegates or the Irish cause and
would. in fact. be able to present the
cause Of Ireland as an official matter
on behalf of the United States gov
ernment. Such a step, the President
points out. would under present usage
be IAN unfriendly act" and if passions
were aroused in Great Britain could
easily lead to friction in the peaceful
relations of America and England, but
under the leagues covenant it is espe-
cially provided that II is ''the friendly
right" of any nation to bring up any
subject that might possibly affect the
peace Of the world.

LOOKS
KINDLY ON LEAGUE,
LAWRENCE'S VIEW
Declares Senator Johnson
Fails to Read His Own
Constituency.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SAN FRANCISCO. Calf, September
ls.-President Wilson took occasion
in this the stronghold of Senator
Hiram Johnson to seek to overcome
two main sources of opposition to the
peace treaty, namely. the argument
of the Irish sympathizers, who claim
Great Britain has six votes IN the
proposed league of nations to Amerl-
cas- one. and the easily aroused an
tipathy to anything Japanese, which
has been kindled anew in California
by the alleged improperly of the
United States in sanctioning the
transfer of German rights in Shan
tung to Japan.
The President realized that Cali
fornia wanted to know about Shan
tung, and he gave the most detailed
explanation he has yet made on the
question of leased territory in China.
Past Presidents Silent.
Just as the United States in 1898.
when William Mckinley was Presi-
dent. did not lift its voice in protest
against the enforced cession of Shan
tung to Germany. so the United States,
when Theodore Roosevelt was Presi-
dent, did not say a word in objection
to the transfer of Port Arthur from
Russia to Japan at the close of the
war between those two countries.
That, declared Mr.. Wilson, is the his
torical truth.

Gompers Rebuked by
Methodists for His
Slap at Prohibition

Washington, Nov. 4.-The asser-
ton of Samuel Gompers. president
of the American Federation of La
Dor, that prohibition was contribut-
ing to the unrest in the United
States was characterized as mot
only unfortunate, but deserving OF
rebuke," in a statement issued here
by the board OF temperance, prohi-
bition and public morals of the
Methodist church. :
"Radicalism in England and
France and throughout the continent
of Europe" the statement said, "is
verv much more rife than it is in
America, despite the floods of alco-
hol. Bolshevism is a thing of ig-
norance; prohibition commands the
support of 90 per cent of Americans
with school educations. Bolshevism
is thing of saloons, barrel houses
and slums; prohibition is the pro-
duction of schools, churches and
homes.
"All America comedies everything
possible to labor and labor leaders,"
the statement added but Mr.. Com
pers is not the uncrowned king of
this country. If it is true that for.
eign born laborers are rebellious
against the country because of pro-
hibtion it may be said that the coun-
try is not being run entirely for
their benefit. If they do not like
the way things are being done let
them go back to Europe. Six weeks
after they have landed on that con-
tinent they will be begging the
churches for passage money back" :"

Children in Industry

Washington, Nov. 4-Recommen-
dation that all nations enact legisla-
tion prohibiting industrial labor by
children below the age of l6 were
made by the international working
women's congress in a resolution
adopted unanimously. Action on the
resolution came after failure to
reach an agreement on only the
basic principle in the suggestions Of
fered for legislation concerning
maternity benefits and the care of
mothers and babies.
The child labor resolution also
provides that child to engage IN
any 'gainfu1 occupation" must have
completed at least his courses in the
elementary school, and have been
declared physically fit by medical
officer. Provision would be made in
the legislation recommended by the
delegates that no one less than Is
years old may work in mine or
quarry and in all work the day shall
be shorter for the boy between 16
and lS than for adults, while no boy

Republican Parties
In France All Unite
Against Bolshevisn

Paris, Nov. 4.-The union of all
republican parties for the campaign
against bolshevism and extreme
radicalism in the coming elections
has already divided into groups, de-
pending upon the relative conserva-
.tism of the members. The first
group, called the republican bloc,
does not admit an extension of the
movement to include candidates
from the right. Its leaders are
members of parliament who are op-
posed to Premier Clenenceau and
il includes in its membership the
anti-clerical group.
The second faction admits to its
ranks all republicans, including ma
tionalists and liberals, and its men,
bers while acknowledging that the
church disestablishment and those
secularizing the schools must remain
intangible, renounce all religious in
tolerance.
Several other parties have been
created for the election, among the
prominent ones being, the new de-
mocracy party and that known as
the Action Franchise.

LADY ASTOR VISITS
TENEMENT HOUSE
QUESTOF VOTES
Scorches Labor Candidate Who
Evaded War Service
Defends Lloyd George.

Plymouth, Nuv.f 4.-Lady1 Aseor
Tuesday made her first official
speeches in the campaign which is
to determine whether an American
born woman will be the first woman
to sit in the House of Commons.
She told the Associated Press cor
respondent that she thought it quite
appropriate that daughter of Vir-
ginia, the first English settlement
in the United States, peopled by
West Country folks, should become
the representative of that section
of England in parliament.
At noon Lady Astor drove in her
carriage to the almshouse, where
during Commute stay, she
greeted nearly 50 residents, all old
women, asking them to vote for
her.
Lady Astor next visited tene-
ment house where, standing in the
dirty roadway, she talked for sew
eral minutes with women. She de.
Tended Premier Lloyd George and
silenced the champions of the prob
able labor contender, w. T. Gay,
pointing out that he was not really
the labor candidate but an indepen-
dent laborite and had boasted that
he had evaded military service.

Nonpartisan League
Defeated in Fight for
Convention Control

Lincoln, Neb., NOV. 4.-Nebrasks
voters today selected 100 delegates
to the state constitutional conven.
ton which meets in Lincoln the
first Monday in December. All the
candidates ran on a nonpartisar
ticket, and there was lax interest,
the only issue being an alleged ef-
fort on the part of the Nonpartisan
league to elect members of that or
ganization to control the convention.
Returns indicate there will not be
to exceed 20 Nonpartisan league
delegates, perhaps not half that
number.
In Lincoln, chief interest cen.
tered in propositions for the city to
take over the street railway COM
pany under municipal ownership and
to issue bonds for municipal exten-
sions OF the water and lighting
plants. Early indications were that
the bond propositions carried and
the car company proposal was -
fcatcd.

ference or move it elsewhere.

leave Washington. Conference Of

OHIO VOTES TO
REMAIN DRY BY
LARGE MAJORITY
Secretary of State Declares Pro-
hibition Proposals Will Win
by Margin of 5000.

Columbus, o., Nov. AFTER less
than six months Of actual prohibi-
ton, Ohio today voted to remain in
the dry column, apparently by a
majority three times larger than
that by which It first voted prohibi-
ton year ago. 4
At midnight Secretary of State
Smith declared that dry majorities
on the four prohibition proposals
voted upon today would reach U.s.
600. ....
Indications were that the pro-
posed amendment providing for
classified ton of property for taxa
tion had been defeated
AT 1915 o'clock tonight the Ohio
taxpayers league, which backed the
campaign for the classification
amendment, conceded the defeat of
the amendment by 100000 or more
votes.
Report Gains for Drys.
In several of the rural counties
the drys were reported to have
gained from eight to Is votes to the
precinct. However, in Cleveland,
the vets were claiming to have car
ried the county by from $4,000 to
$4,000. Last year the vets carried
the county by between $4,000 and
10000.
In Cincinnati, the vets were claim
ing majorities on the different pro-
hibition proposals ranging from ST.
600 to $4,000, or slightly larger than
last years wet majorities.
AT $50 o'clock neither wet head
quarters at Cincinnati nor dry head
quarters in Columbus had issued
statements on the basis of returns
already received Both sides, it was
said, were awaiting more definite re-
turns from the larger cities.
Classification in Doubt.
While the cities were rolling up
.najoritics for classification the rural
districts were voting heavily against
it and early indications were that
the proposal would suffer defeat.
Returns were slow in coming in
and in the event of close vote it
was feared that it might be several
days before the definite result would
become known.
Indications were that because of
the many municipal elections over
the statc, votes on local elections
were being counted before an effort
was made to count votes on the
statewide issues.
Late tonight James A. White, su-
perintendent of the Anti-saloon
league OF Ohio, issued this state
ment:
Indications are that If present
gains continue. the drys will win on
all four proposals by from $4,000 to
5000 majority"
7 L. H. Gibson, manager of the
Ohio Home-rule association, said:
"The Crabbe and ratification meas
ures are decisive1y defeated and we
believe we will win both amend
ments. The vote on the latter two
propositions, we admit, will be close.
but the result will be in our favor"

ARMIES
FALLING BACK ON
THE ENTIRE FRONT
Bolshevist Forces Launch
Thrusts Against Left and
North Wings of Enemy.

Omsk, Nov. 4.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press.) The bolshevist
thrust against the left wing of the
Siberian army has developed to such
an extent that the Siberians have
been obliged to fail back south of
the Trans Siberian railway to with
in 80 miles of Petropavlovsk. which
appears to be the bolshevist OBJ
jective in this sector. A corre-
spending tactical retirement of from
IL to rs miles has occurred along
the whole Tobol river front.
The Red forces also have
launched an offensive on the ex-
treme north and have succeeded in
retaking Tobolsk, the important ST.
beriari city at the junction of the
Tobol and Iritish river and pushing
the Siberian troops back some miles.
The situation is regarded as far
from critical and the population
manifests no excitement. The re-
ported bolshevist air raids against
Omsk are pure fabrication.
The news of this general retire
ment of Admiral Kolchak's armies
along the front north and south of
the railway has already been an
ticipated by wireless bulletins from
bolshevist headquarters, which yes
terday announced that l,500 Siber-
ian prisoners had been taken when
Petropavlovsk was captured. This
records an advance of 80 miles by
the bolsheviki on this sector since
the date of the foregoing dispatch,
reporting a retreat to within 80
miles of Petroplavovsk. The boil
sheviki also reported the fail of
Tobolsk sometime ago.

BEWARE, BRETHREN,
OF THE BREATHOSCOPE.

New York, Nov. 4.-Science still
plays handmaiden to sceptic age,
her latest contributing being the
breathoscope. The breathoscope is
an instrument now. beeing used by
booze sleuths in the city OF New
York who have grown triAe sus-
picious of the sassafras lemon sodas
being served in the saloons of the
metropolis. i.
Former "hooch" hunters depended
upon the shillioscope to tell exactly
how much alcoholic content HARM
less looking fluid passed over the
bar contained. All that revenue Of
ficers would have to do was to slip
into a saloon, tap the barrel of sas1
safras or root beer, insert there
mometer-like instrument and take a
reading. -
But bartenders are a little more
careful since the Volstead law went
into effect. Sleuths find it hard to
locate the barrel and imbibers OF the
forbidden leave none of the precious
fluid in their glasses.
SO the revenue agents invented
the breathoscope to be used only in
case of emergency. For instance if
a place is raided and if there are
several individuals getting drink
of something and there is no evil
dence of any violation Of the law,
the officers pull the breathoscope on
them and make them breathe into it.
The indicator of the breathoscope
will tell exactly the alcoholic con-
tent of the fluid drunk. If the con-
tent was around 2.75 it would be
registered on small dial like the
face of watch, hut if the old hop
registered 100 per cent the bell
which is attached TO the Instrument
would ring

pect in connection with its cham
pagne trade, saying that it had vast
stores OF champagne pilingup in cell
lars at Epernay and Rheims await
iHg shipment to America. 1t was IN
answer to this query, SO the runlor

HOPE FOR SPEEDY
ACTION ON PEACE
TREATY BRIGHTENS
More Optimistic Senators Pre-
dict Vote on Ratification by
End of the Week.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Hope for
speedy action on the peace treaty
frightened up again today when the
senate voted down one amendment
agreed to dispose of two more to-
morrow and renewed formal discus
sion of methods to hasten considera-
ton of reservations. g
Tonight, some of the more opti-
mistic predicted vote on ratifica-
ton by the end of the week, while
the leaders on both sides thought it
likely to come within 10 days at the
latest.
In the background of all calcula-
lions. however, was the possibility
of an eleventh-hour rally by the
treaty's irreconcilable enemies, who
have i1timated more than once that
they were mindful of the opportu-
nifty which might be presented to
talk off a final roll call until the ses-
sion of congress ends early in De-
cember.
Situation Still Doubtful.
Altogether the situation still was
doubtful one, but republican and
democratic managers seemed con-
fdert that it soon would clear. While
debate continued. they held many
conferences and found agreement
everywhere except among the ire
concilables. it was said, to bring
every possible pressure to bear for
early action. Wednesday Demo-
cratic Leader Hitchcock expects to
ask unanimous consent for a sharp
limitation of debate and he believes
it will be agreed to.
The amendment disposed Of today
was one by Republican Leader
Lodge to strike from the treaty en-
tirely the Shantung provision. The
vote was Al to 26, the proposal fail
ing by the votes of virtually the
same senator's who several days ago
defeated the committee amendment
on that subject.
Expect Action Today. 3
Early tomorrow action will be
sought on the Amendment of Sena-
tor Gore, DEMOCRAT, Oklahoma, for
a popular vote before any declara-
ton of war, and later the proposal
of Senator La Toilette, republican,
Wisconsin, will come up under an
agreement to vote finally on it by
8 D. m. These are the only amend
ments now remaining before tie
senate, and their disposition will
clear the way for work on reserva-
tions.
Part of today's debate was on
motion by Senator Borah, republic
can, Idaho, to strike out article 10,
of the league covenant, but he with
drew the proposal after suggestions
had been advanced for changing the
foreign relations committee reserva-
tons on the subject to meet his OBJ
lection.
Besides limitation of debate to IS
minute speeches as proposed by
Senator Hitchcock, various expe<
dents have been suggested to in
sure prompt action. One of these
seriously considered by some sena-
tors is that the senate go into secret
session in the hope that speeches
will not be so numerous or SO long
if they are not to be given public
circulation.
