to collect when they know that there Is an opportunity for an exercise of their perverted ideas. We are all sit ting on the sidelines of war between government and labor, in this in stance. Boston will decide for us which is to be uppermost. It is a pe- c-,liar situation, whom government, made up largely of the working man who exercises the vote to put certain parties in power over himself and the others, is fighting with the labor that helped put it in place. The vote of the majority, when it comes election time, is, we believe, to be trusted for the common good.

 Gen. Pershing's warning to the American Legion, the new organlza- ton of those who served in the world war, against becoming q tool 1n the hands of politicians Was uttered be- cause it was needed. Enrolment is in it's early stages but the blandlsh- ments of demagogues are more than keeping pace with it.
 Cooperation by soldiers and sailors in civil life is desirable from every point of view if the purpose is worthy of the cause which is the basis Of union. Recognition of the responsl- bilities of citizenship, the promotion of true patriotism and respect for law, as the general said, will add luStre to triumphs gloriously won and perpet- uate in peace the spirit that made the Republic invincible In war.
 Strong ties bind together men who have experienced common dangers and sa acrifices, but they are no more sacred than those attaching to the citizenship that called millions into service Gen. Pershing's high ap- preciation of this truth has guided him at all times. He recommends nothing to his fellow service men that he does not practise himself. The wis dom of his words corresponds with the modesty of his estimate of deeds that have given him imperishable fame as soldier of democracy.

WIRELESS MESSAGES HEARD.
Spanish Steamer Valbanera Has Not
 Been Sunk As First Feared.

Havana, Sept. 15.-Loud and clear wireless signals from the Spanish steamer Valbanera, which is six days overdue and for which grave fears have been felt, were received by the United States wireless station at Key West at midnight last night. The location and condition of the ship which has been riding out the terrific tropical hurricane which has ragged over the Gulf of Mexico and adjacent waters since September were not given, according to reports reaching this city.
 A United States cruiser will leave Key West this morning in search of the Valbanera which from the nature of the calls received from her is be- lieved to be within 50 miles of the Florida coast. The Valbanera arrived off Morro Castle the morning of Sep tember but because of the tempest was unable to enter port There were 300 persons on board the Valbanera.

WANT TO FURNISH SHIPS.
French Marine Committees Approve
 Plan of Minister of Marine.

Paris, Sept. 15.-The request of the minister of marine for appropriations to resume work on five battleships which were on the stocks before the war is meeting with opposition in the marine committees of the cham Der and senate, it being asserted the ships as they were planned do not accord with new conditions of warfare.
 Work on the five ships was suspend ed in 1915. Engineers of the naval department argue that they may be modernzed but there is strong cur rent of sentiment in favor of dismant- ling the hulls and saving the large amount of money the completion of the work would involve
