GOMPERS FOR cox
 AND THE LEAGUE
Especial to The Times)

Washington, D. C., Oct. 26.-Reply- ing to a question from William Michaels, a Tulsa, Okla, labor leader as to what effect the League of Ma tions as advocated by the American Federation of Labor. would have upon the laboring people of this country, samuel Gompers, president of the labor provisions of the covenant con stitute labor's "bill of rights" and lis a document for humanity
 After pointing out that the feder- ation at it's 1919 convention had unanimously voted an indorsement of the league and quoting in full the preamble and nine points of the cove nant's labor section, MT. Gompers urged American workers should sup would confer Tasting benefits upon the wage -earners of the world" and is "a great international effort to for ward those measures that make for the improvement of the standards and health of the people in all sigma tory nations"
 MT. Gompers statement was SUD- plemented by statement from the Federation's non-partisan political campaign committee further express labor. All opponents of the league, the statement declared, could be classed either as "eXtreme reaction aries or extreme radicals The for mer it said. opposed the league be- cause the covenant provides ''the best check of reaction" while radicals take the ground that it means a "stiffening against change
 This position of the radicals, the statement asserted is "viciously false one," as the league facilitates and encourages evolutionary develop ment and progress and provides the ''best possible check against turbulent and unhealthy upheaval of obstructive character.

 Moreover this reliable remedy con- tains no narcotics or harmful drugs and owes its efficiency to the medicinal ex- tractives of the native roots and herbs which it contains.

THE PEOPLES SAY

To the Editor of The Times:
 On page II, in the Editorial sec Times, there is full paged advertise ment by the Republican National Committee, in which the photographs of the mothers of the Republican presidential and vice-presidential nominees are placed alongside of the photographs of the nominees. Over the photogra peIs of the latter is print ed, Good Mothers Have Good Sons"
 What are we to think of the sin cerity of these men who thus honor the mothers of the Republican nom inees and at the same time do not hesitate to show dishonor to the Mother of Christ, the Founder of Christianity?
 I am referring now to the cartoon, recently published, depicting Uncle Sam with arms extended heavenWard and his face, with sheer worthy of a demon, gazing in the same direc- and dollar signs scattered here and there, all under the title, "Presid ent Wilson's Immaculate Conception
 The Republican nominee, MT. liar ding, has admitted that he had seen the cartoon two months ago and at the time requested that it be not pub lished. Requested! mind you. Here may T ask, why did he merely re- famous cartoon be suppressed? Again.
 is it not worthy of note that this car icon was published by Colonel liar vey, an intimate friend of MT. Har- ding's and one of the privileged few who nominated him at Chicago? As an upright, honorable Christian he should have gone the limit to- pre- vent, which he could have easily done. this gross insult to Christ Himself IS well as His countless followers.
 After 1 saw that cartoon I still in- tended to vote for Mir. Harding be- cause 1 looked upon It as the act of s.n individual, but when learned that he had been aware of it's existence for two months and did nothing more

A certain measure named the League of Nations4 went down from Paris to Washington and fell among Senators, who stripped it of its raiment, and wounded it, and de- parted, leaving. it half dead.
 And by chance there came down a certain high-priestly politician that way and when he saw it he passed by in splendid isolation" on '-the oth- CT side.'
 Likewise a certain Levitical lawyer, when he was at the place. came and looked on it, and passed by on ''the other side"
 And certain distant but lineal de- scendant of Balaam's travelling com panion came by, and went across and prayed at it and kicked it, and then he too passed by on '.tf1e other side."

 But a certain party as it jour neyed came where it was and had compassion on it and bound up it's wounds and set it on it's own beast and took care of it.

RENAME VAST AREA.

New York, Nov. 1.-Within two years after the armistice France has practically reuade the vast area of her agricultural soil which was pitted and scared beyond usefulness, by the ravaSes of the war. Figures received by the French Commission, in New York. show that out of 100000 acres which were rendered unfit for cultiva- = ton by the effects of battle from 1914 to 1918, only 2so,00o acres will not be in a condition to permit of sowing next spring.
 The rest of the agricultural area has been restored. or will be restored, by the end of the current year. The reports to the Commission show that 100000 acres. Or more than half of the devastated farm land are alrea dy under cultivation. The harvest has been so good that the French Govern ment has been enabled to cancel con- tracts for the import of South Ameri- can wheat into France.

Expect Diaz To
 Be Troublesome

Mexico City, Mexico, Oct. 30.- Enemies of Felix Diaz think that a
 mistake was made in permitting him to sail away from Mexico to Havana,
 Cuba. They say that he will certainly disturb the peace of Mexico at some future time through revolutionary conspira cies. They believe that he will begin at once to organize junta when he reaches safe place for such operations.
 These enemies, who charge that
 Diaz was the moving spirit in the con-
 spiracy which resulted in the assas-
 sination of President Francisco I.
 Madero, insist that he should have
 met the fate which, they say, he
 marked for Madero, or that he should
 have been put in a Mexican prison
 where he could have been kept out of
 mischief.
 The revolt of the troops at the
 Altotongo garrison when a rumor
 was pointed to by the opposers of
 Diaz as proof of the hold he still has
 upon some elements in the army and the menace he may prove to be to Mexico.
 Many of the Altotongo soldiers were once in the army commanded by Diaz and they still have affection for their former general, who understood per haps better than any other man in Mexico the art of catching the eye and commanding the admiration Of Order was not restored at Altotongo until it was explained to the soldiers that Diaz had sailed from Mexico on the steamship La F1andre, and was at the time of the revolt we'll on his way to Cuba
 Those who supported the plan to let Diaz get out of Mexico as quickly as
 possible believe that his remaining
 popularity will disappear when it is
