 DEAD 10 YEARS OLD
First American Soldiers Died a
 Decade Ago

Paris, Nov. 1 CP'-Ten years ago the first American soldiers killed in action in France fell under enemy fire.
 Three men of the Sixteenth in fanty met death that night when raldlng party of Germans was sent over into the front line trenches at Artois in Lorraine. about To miles cast of Lun.yille, two weeks from the day the first American troops entered the line for the first time.
 The sector had been quiet since tn" beginning of the war and was used by the French chiefly as q rest sector, One battalion from each in fantry regiment Of the first division was sent into the line to get it's bap- tism of fire on October 20, 1917. The second battalion of each of these regiments went into the line on the night of November 3. As they were making their relief, always a tick fish time, a German raiding party, seeking prisoners, entered the sector occupied by Company r of the 16th infantry.
 Corporal James Gresham and Privates Merle D. Hay and Thomas Enrisht Of this company were kill ed during the raid.
 The episode was recalled last eve ming in an article in Le Temps by General P. F. Bordeaux who com manded tho French division to which the American first division was attached at that time.
 Although Gen. Bordeaux does not mention it there was at Inc time considerable talk among the rank and file Of poilus that this raid by the Americans would spoil what had been a nice sector
 That was the first blood split by our new allies says the generals article. The most important thing 10 say and that which must live as an honorable distinction for their

TRADE REPORTS
 GENERALLY GOOD
Outlook Is for Continuance Of
 Business

Business developments of recent weeks have tended to indicate a di- Nergence Of trend as between indus trial output and trade volumes, states the current issue of the Guar anty Survey, published by the Guaranty Trust company of New York.
 As regards the former, it appears that the autumn revival has been distinctly less pronounced than is usual at this season, continues the Survey. In some lines there has been little or no expansion since midsummer, and in general it may be said that operations are on q measurably lower plane than a year ago. This tendency, however, is by no means uniform. With due al lonance for the effects of curtailment in automobile manufacture, which is due partly, if not mainly. to special and temporary conditions, it may be maintained that the trend in other industries is not far out of line with the usual seasonal move ment.
 Effects of Decline in Motor Car
 Output
 The chief tangible evidence of lardy recovery is found in the iron and steel industry. where operations have remained almost unchanged Tor four months This situation is certainly due in part to reduced de ma1d for steel on tn" part of motor car producers. But, in addition to steel. it must be remembered that the automotive industry has become one of the largest consumers of a number Of other metals. as well as hardwood lumber plate glass, up- holstery leather, rubber and many other products. The resumption Of normal conditions in the automobile trade may be followed by a large volume of deferred buying. which

Many automobiles have been ma rooned. At Springfield the Black river last night was four inches over the highest mark set during the spring trcshet and was still rising.
 The bridges have been swept away in Bethel and Stockbridge, with in creaslng damage expected. Two power dams at Hortonia are threat ening 10 give way during the night before the pressure of rising water The damage in that locality alone is estimated at Sloo,0o0, aud over the entire storm area will have to be measured in millions.

would stimulate activity in nearly

would stimulate activity in nearly all branches of business.
 Recent trade reports indicate that merchandise continues to move readily through the channels of dis tribution. It is true that railway freight loadings are below last years unprecedented totals: but they are larger than during the summer, and the decline from the level Of year ago is largely due to reduced ship ments of coal and coke resulting from the strike. The amount of bank debits 10 individual accounts outside of New York city continues to run well ahead of last years figures.
 Outlook for Continued Prosperity
 In the face of favorable trade re- ports, combined with high levels Of employment and wages and very low money rates. there is little ground for anticipating any pro- longed or violent decline in general business activity. The outlook is rather for the continuance Of trade and industry at a rate comparablc with that of the early part of this year. While it is not likely that many industrial records will be broken during the next few months. neither is it at all probable that the substantial and widely diffuscd pros perity of the last few years is about to he seriously curtailcd.
 One Of the strongest favorable in, f'uenCes in the immediate outlook is the great improvement in the posi- tion Of agriculture. Aggregate farm returns far above those Of last year are now assured. In some cases the enhancement of earnings is due to larger yields and in others to higher prices. hut almost without exception the producers of the ma for crops will have larger receipts this season than have been the rule in recent years.

Maine has chosen to retain the direct
primary. BY a vote of nearly two to
one the State in a special election yes.
terday rejected referendum seeking
a return 10 the caucus and convention
system Of nomina ting candidates for
public office.
Although an active campaign had
heen carried on for weeks to bring
about repeal bf the primary law,
The election brought only approximate

that will sanction and require the
observance Of the laws as to the
nominating practices and expendi-
lures, interest of fair play among can
didates, and to inculcate respect for
law"
The direct primary law was enacted
in Maine in 1911 by exercise of the
initia tive and referendum provision of
the State constitution after the 1.egis-
lature had refused to take action.
Widespread dissatisfaction with the
workings OF the system was expressed
bv spokesmen for both political
parties at various times. the charge
being made that the primary actually
entailed the expense of double cleo

ANT|-WAR CRUSADE
BEGUN IN ENGLAND
Idea of Naval Competition
With U. S. Repudiated in
Liberal Manifesto.
RY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1927.
LONDON, October 19.-British Lib
erals have launched their campaign
for "outlawinS war" with a party
manifesto made public today. The
manifesto contains four important
proposals:
I. To sign an undertaking framed
by the League Of Nations 10 refer all
international disputes TO the League s
Court of Justice at The Hague.
,. TO enter into general or particu-
lar treaties of arbitration.
Would Reduce Armamanets.
5. TO reduce existing British arma-
ments which are beyond present needs
and repudiate any idea of naval com
petition with the United States.
4. To press forward the conterfl-
plated codification and definition of the
principles of international law.
The action of the Liberal party is
meant to be not only a direct chal-
lenee TO the Conservatives, who,
through Premier Baldwin's speech last
week. announced that next years bud.
get would contain no reduction in mill
tary expenditures, but also officially
accepts the idea of outlawry of war,
making ii one of the important politi-
cal platforms for the next election.

Many outstanding leaders are fol

ings throughout the country. He will

shortly will make statement support.
