LABOR SITUATION
 CHANGES IN FRANCE

PARIS, Aug. Correspondence of Associated Press) The recent col lapse of the movement for a general strike is explained in some quarters by the saying that, while the eX- tremists were getting control of the Socialist party, they were losing their hold on the labor unions, which, 3OO,- 900 strong befoN the war, now have a membership of more than 1,500,OOO. The 100000 were we'll in hand, it is said, but the 100000 have brought with them a certain independence of thought and action. The conse- quence is that the vast majority of union men are not ready to accept such radical meaures as a general political strike.
 The national committee of the labor federation has issued a sort of plat form declaring that production should be stimulated and increased by all possible means, and demanding cus- toms barriers be broken down, that inflated paper circulation be sup. pressed, that a national economic council be organized together with a national organization to control the provisioning of the country.

HIGH COST OF LIVING IS FELT MOST KEENLY
 BY ITALIAN PEOPLE

ROME, Aug. 14 Correspondence of Associated Press) ).-Italy is the most expensive allied country in which to live, according to statistics pub lished by the Populo Romano, which observes that "the human body must be furnished with $500 calories a day" and that this would require a ration equal to 500 grams of bread, 150 grams of meat, 20 grams of oil, 500 grams of potatoes, 75 grams of rice, 75 grams of vegetables, 250 grams of milk, 25 grams of sugar and 60 grams of fats.
 Such a ration costs 26 cents in London, 30 cents in New York, 49 cents in Paris and 60 cents in Italy" says the newspaper, whose estimate is confirmed by the statistical society of Berne, which shows the rise in the cost of living in various countries as follows:
 Italy, 481 per cent; France, 368 per cent; England, 240 per cent, and the United States, 22O per cent. Or course, it must be remembered that the cost of living, before the war, was higher in America than in Europe.

GALIC.A AGAIN
 SUFFERS FROM
 WAVE OF TYPHUS

Lemberg, Oct S.-Galicia has been swept by new wave of typhus which reached greater proportions than ever before at this time of the year, says Red Cross reports. Hun dreds of people have been stricken and died without medical attention in villages that could not be reached by doctors.
 After more than five years of con- tinued warning, the country is all most without the elementary hospital necessities. It has been the battle ground of one army after another and the zone for changing forces of occupation. Large areas are burned away. The best equipped hospitals have been com Tletely ruined and pill laged.
 According to Lieutenant Colonel -Ialban, Chief Sanitarian of the Pol ish Government for the Galician front the typhus situation has always been more or less epidemic. With an un- preced nted beginning in the summer months, it is feared thA winter will see an increase with even greater furs. The vermin which causes ty- phus incubate and multiply in the cold season

Yale Professor Is Unable to Tell Why
 Weather Was Bad

What is the cause If the abonlin- able weather that has spoiled the usually beautiful autumn? is a query a New Haven paper has put to Yale faculty members and to the local weather bureau. The good citizens of New Haven are sorely tried and are getting discouraged at having to lug arctics. umbrellas and raincoats every time they go out of doors. at least four days a week.
 Weather Observer Tarr is at loss to explain the bad spells we have had all fall. He says the cause cannot be given definitely. About all that can be told IS where the storms came from.
 Prof. Ernest W. Brown. director Of the Yale observatory and professor of mathematics in Yale, said 10 the New Haven paperman yesterday that science has not advanced far enough to be able even to give predictions Of weather much more than 45 hours ahead. much less to tell what storms are caused by.
 Investigators are constantly trying to get at the causes of different kinds of weather as well as to improve on methods of weather prediction. The two studies are interwoven. When the causes of. storms are determined it will be possible to better forsee them. The only phenomenon that can be definitely foretold is the Indian monsoon.

Fractured spines Cured
 By Surgeons of Army

Washington, D. C.-Some of the surgical marveIs by which soldiers wounded in the war were rehabilita- ted or partially restored to normal are told in a recent report of the Sur geon General in connection with the closing the military hospital at Co., lonia, New Jersey. It was at this hospital that some of the most re- markable feats of the Governments surgeons were performed.
 One soldier had lost all the fingers from one hand. only the thumb re- maining. In order to make this thumb sat-viceable it was necessary to Dro- vide a finger. The surgeon cut into the mans chest jus. below the collar bone, encased the bone of the index finger stub in this incision and bound it to the wound in the chest after en- closing the whole hand in a plaster cast. Two weeks later the plaster was removed, and a portion of the chest bone held by a flesh graft to the finger was' cut away, and the op- eration proved a comp etc success. The patient had a new finger to use with the thumb on tlle crippled hand.
 Tn another instance cited in the re- port. the soldier had a fracture of the spine in the small of the back. This made it impossible for him to stand erect. and would gradually have ben+ his body in the course of time. Tn this case a bone was cut from the leg and grafted to the spine and the soldier was discharged as sound and well.
 Several cases of broken necks were successfully treated. In former years even if such injuries had not caused death, the sufferer would have had to carry his head in an iron cage in order to live. In these cases how ever, the specialists resorted to graft ing, taking bones from the lower ! limbs and implanting them at the point of fracture in rhe spinal col umn. Recovery vas complete in each case.

WQMAE; DEMOCRAT STILL BALkS AT
 NEW ARRAY BILL l

Washington, Nov. 15.-Persistent efforts on the part of the Democratic National Committee to 1assoo and bring back into reservation ''the lady from Ohio" who jumped it few weeks 2go in protest against Secre- tary Bakers universal military train- ing bill have proved unsuccessful up to date. Miss Florence E. Allen, the Ohio member of the Women's Ma tionaI Democratic Committee and a prominent woman alto ney in CIeve- land, has replied as follows to over lures from the Democratic head quarters in Washington:
 My decision is final. I agree with you that being a Democrat is more than skin-deep. There is something in me deeper than party affiliation, however, and that is the determina.- tion to fight the causes of war wher- ever I find them.
 ''To my mind compulsory military service is one of those causes. I still fail to see how I could speak my mind upon and hold the position I occupied. sponsored as the measure was by MT. Baker and unrepudiated President Wilson.
 "I do not consider that I have left the party. I have resigned a position in the party but I expect to work with the Democrats if, on the whole, Iney maintain Democratic principles. But compulsory military service is so <ubversive of the whole structure of our democracy that I cannot under stand how a Democrat can propose it."
 Miss Allen lost a brother in the war, Lieutenant Clarence Allen of San Francisco.

HUGE SALES OF
 BRITISH BONDS
 BY HOME FOLKS

LonCon, Nov. 15.-The restrictions on new capital issues have now been entirely removed The one regulation remaining in force up to the time of the promu1gation of the order was one prohibiting the employment of capital abroad without a license.
 The stock market recovered after an early weakness, being now less apprehensive of a ' per cent bank rate today, but the high money rates now being quoted have induced large realizations of Victory and Funding loans.
 No support was forthcoming and the result was an infectious depres- sion, which took additional force from being concurrent with criticism of the Governments financial policy, though it is importan to note that the criticism is frequently more political ly than financially inspired. Silver touched a new record yesterday at 69.

JUDGE COMLEy
 SPEAKS BEFORE
 LARGE MEETING

At the last weekly meeting of the Bridgeport Centra1 Committez on the Nation-Wido Campaign, Hon. Will jam H. Comley, vice chairman, ad- dressed joint meeting of the central and the woman's committees
 Judge Com ey criticised t.-e s0eaI-:ne he had as yet heard on the campaign for representing the church as be ng nothing but failures a inacttvities. But the state of religion and the church is not adequately described he said, until the rest of the story is told, about the church's unwaver:ng g steadfastness in her ideas, and her shccess in keeping those ideals alive and making them known iu t n ,a.- iaiistic world. The story should be told of the steady, devoted, effective work of tens of thousands of clergy and laity. If the church and all her members had really been sack. she wOu not be so alive today. and there would not be all this energy ex- pressing itself in the Nation Wide Campaign.
 There is not yet, Judge Comley said, a general rg.t understanding of the nature of the campaign. Many people still see in it only financial eHOft. some or the speakers, even, seem to represent it as such. Whereas the truth is, it's real anI essential feature is this pro on ed "prepa-a- tion," so-caued, with it's study of the church's duty to the world. and it's publishing of the facts to the people, and the rousing of them to more lively loyalty to their religion and their religions tasks. This is the real campaign.
 As for the Hvery-Member Cam vass on the last day of the campaign. it is the feature to which least at tention is given by those who have got at the real heart of tho cam paign. It is the peoples understand ing, interest and Loyalty that the campaign is after. People seem to find it hard to understand or even be- ieve the church when she tells them this. They are more accustomed to drives for their money, and are surprised and puzzled by a campaign with religious motives and religious aims.
 The work of the church. said the speaker, is spiritual, educational, and social, not financial Finances enter in solely to make action possible.

 Cause Still Exists. Says O'Ryan. Major Gen. O'Ryan said: These are soldiers who gave up their lives in the cause of their coun- try. The war in which they died was but a manifestation of that cause, for the cause was and still is. now more than ever, the continuing struggle for justice on earth. The struggle must continue until man gains the state or dained for him.
 "As we review the history of this struggle, old as mankind we see periods when progress in the relations of men were sure and steady. and 1 periods when there was no progress when the people followed false trails in the hope of making short cuts to the ends to be desired, when they had to retrace their steps to regain the true road of progress
