Special to The Democrat)

East Beekmantown, N. Y, Aug. 19.-Yesterday and today the regi- ment with attached engineer and artillery participated in maneuvers with other organizations. Yesterday an advance guard problem was worked out, the regiment acting as advance guard for larger unit and today we were the right flank guard of the 43d division. Tomorrow we go out at 7:30 a. m. for reinforced brigade exercise and bivouac somewhere in the woods or fields tomorrow night. We return to camp at noon on the 18th and then have the time off, Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday. The regimental band is rendering a concert at this time 7:30 p. m., playing at this time the Roll Out the Barrel" Yes terday on the way back from ma neuvers a heavy rain and hail storm soaked us to the skin. When we got back to camp changed clothes and as I finished the storm broke again, blew the tent down on top of me and soaked my bunk and the interior of the tent. got a de- tail of men and had the tent put up again and laid out my stuff to- day. It got quite dry but before l could get it in another storm came and soaked it again. The ground here is somewhat like that on the border, regular "gumbo" when it rains. We were all required to go to Plattsburg barracks to hear an address by Lieut.. Gen. Dunn, Tues day night. That was the first time I had been in Plattsburg barracks since the fall of 1917. This afternoon trucks took large number of the men for a swim in Lake Champlain and they all were much pleased with 1t. Only a gallon of water is issued per man per day and tiiat must take care of bathing, drinking and washing requirements. I am writing this on folded paper on my knee in my tent and 1t is rather difficult to handle. will send you a couple of more letters before we leave here. The weather is not as cold here as we expectd it to be and we haven't had occasion to use overcoats yet.

UNION LEADERS FILE PROTEST
Delegation Asks Controller Sweeney to Consider
 City Printers, Painters

Protests against the printing of the city voting lists by an out-of- town firm and against the use of non-union men on various city pro- jects were made by a committee re- presenting American Federation of Labor unions in Waterbury to Con- troller Martin J. Sweeney this morning. The same committee will appear before the economy commit tee of the board of finance tomorrow night to make the same protests.
 The economy committee last week approved having the city election lists printed by the Bond Press, of Hartford, at a total cost of 8, ,953 90. The delegation today protested against sending the work out of the city, claiming that even any saving is discounted by the fact that local printers are kept out of work.
 In the delegation were John w.. McGurk, secretary-treasurer of the Building Trades Council; William Harvey, of the International Typo graphical Union; Robert Mcclure, of the Printing Pressmen's Union; and Rudolph Tata, of the truck drivers union.
 The committee raised a question as to whether the Bond Press is a union shop and can use the union label. MT. Sweeney said he had been informed that the firm is a union shop.
 Mention was made of a supposed ordinance or vote requiring that all city printing bear the union label Union leaders are now seeking to find this ordinance or vote.
 On behalf of union painters, the committee protested against the al- legged hiring of non union men to do work for the citl. Union printers 1t was pointed out, are unemployed and many have to seek aid from the city.

The second feature of the pending legislation is the SO called cash and carry provision All American materials of whatever nature for the European war zone must be paid for on this side of the Atlantic by foreign purchasers and must be carried away in the ships of the customers The wisdom of this provision is clear to everyone It will prevent such incidents that of the City of Flint the American ship which was seized on the high by Germany. The City of Flint did not carry implements of war, which the neutrality act force for the past two years pro- hibied Its cargo was leather, wax, tractors, fruit and grain These materials, and almost all other conceivable cargoes, have been declared contraband by both the German and British governments. Unless the cash and carry provision is adopted innumerable other seizures of U S. ships will take place
 On the whole, the neutrality bill should go far to prevent American involvement in the European war Those who have argued that its passage would have the effect of drawing into the conflict have been as the President said this week guilty of one of the worst fakes in history"
 If the handful of isolationists on the Senate For eign Relations Committee had listened to two months ago the special session of Congress would have been unnecessary. They said there isn't going to be any in Europe" and alluded to private infor nation channels which they claimed were better than those of the U s. State Department Events have proved President Roosevelt and Secretary Hull right and Senator Borah and his clique wrong. America is fortunate that the City of Flint our only loss due to the stubbornness of the isolationists
 The man who wrote the neutrality bill and guided it so successfully through the Senate is one of our fellow northeners a Klondike pioneer. He was young attorney from Vcksburg, Miss who went gold hunting the Yukon, in Nome in its most stirring days, used his gun to help blot out Soapy Smiths gang and became a leading character In Rex Beach's "The Spoilers" He met his wife when dog driver crossed his path with the Miss in the sled and the dogs tangled The young raised row, the girl looked up from her robes He Key Pittman and she is still one of the prettest wives in Wash ington. ,ts

Stepping Up Mining for War Needs
Fairbanks News-Miner)

Assuming the European will be prolonged, mines more than ever will be looked to to make it possible to carry on With all armies and naves and every branch of warfare on mechanized basis metals of every kind in unprecedented demand
 To meet the demand mines and factories must be tuned up for productonbe it in the countries of the Allies the Central powers or neuras who sell supplies to the beligerents.
 The mining industry provides most of the sinews of war whether it be gold, silver base and alloy metals.
 Modern mining machinery is essential to produce all these metals at maximum speed and with minimum of cost This in turn calls for more activity in fac tories turning out such equpment-eyerything from tools to cars to handle the products
 An enormous range of metal and mineral products, including oil coal, copper, iron, manganese, quick silver tungsten and others more important than ever before in successful modern warfare.
 The miner becomes more valuable than ever to every nation To cut him off in such critical period would be disastrous. The United States, realizing this has aside large to stimulate production of war time metals, and is maneuvering to open many properties long idle Lower grade deposits will become workable under the higher prices which seem in evitabe.
 Already many mines long idle are starting to operate and metal prices have an upward trend.
 American metal authorities quoted saying that if the present European lasts year, metal prices in this country and in world markets will be twice or three times present levels Lead went to 1225 cents pound in 1917 during the World War, zinc went to 2750 cents in 1915 silver went to S1.37la per ounce in 1919 and copper went to 37 cents per pound in 1917 A long might bring return of high prices and intensity mine development and pro- duction
 Alaska has not few mineral deposits which have been dormant and which may be expected to claim attention under the conditions. To open them will require not only individual and organized effort but a policy of providing more highways and other means of transportation of the metals to market Here is something requiring keen attention and the laying out of a definite program to measure up to all requirements

NEUTRALITY TRIUMPHANT

Passing the Senate by the decisive vote of 63 to 3O the Administrations neutrality bill goes over to the House where favorable action is forecast
 Few who have followed this piece of legislation through the special session understand just what its status Technically the bill has already passed the House That is why the whole battle has been fought in the At the last session of Congress, neu trality revision similar to the bill under discussion was introduced in the House Known as the Bloom bill it passed the House and sent to the Senate where solationists the Foreign Re- lations Committee blocked action on the famous argument of Senator Borah that there isn't going to be any in Europe.
 At the beginning of this extraordinary session the Senate Foreign Relations Committee took up the egs laton just where dropped at the regular session The Committee, around by developments in Europe to the Presidents way of thinking, rewrote the entirely by striking out all of the Bloom bill after the enactng clause and inserting the neutral ity provisions which were finally approved by the s5enate yesterday Technically, the bill which was passed by the House merely amended by the Sen ate. Thus both houses have passed the measure. It now goes back to the House for concurrence in the Senate amendments. That the House will concur speedily is the understanding in Washington
 The two principal things the bill will do to our neutrality are: CD Repeal the embargo which prevents from selling specified list of muni- tons and implements of to any bellgerent, and @ Prohibit U s. ships from carrying any materials whatsoever into the zone, making foreign pur- chasers take title to American goods in this country and carry them away in their own ships.
 The arms embargo made part of the United States neutrality policy in the hope would by closing U & munitions plants and aipane factories to nations at war discourage international conflict. It failed to do that In its working in wartime 1t became ridiculous The United States prohibited from elling the specified materials to England France and Germany the only nations technically at war But U S munitions continued to move freely to the alleged neutral nations including Italy and Russia which the whole world knows in state of mind to trans-shp these American products to Nazi Ger many. but not to the Allies.
 By repeating the embargo, the Congress is declaring the nations willingness to sell arms and implements of to all corners Germany included That only Britain and France have the warships to protect munitions shipments from this nation to Europe is fact and there has been no attempt ln the Senate debate to gloss it over.

SUNDAY. OCTOBER 29


 Until late today adverse aspects dominate. There may be tendency to indulge in pessimistic thoughts and to entertain ideas that are an- tagonistic to constructive or decisive action. The configuration may cause accidents due to nerves. Drivers of motor cars should be especially eau tious. The evening brings to the foggy brain a clearer vision of things as they are and should lift the spirits. Fears for the national welfare should be baniShed, since borrowers of trouble are a serious national liability.
 Heart and Home: In the morning hours inharmony may be noticeable in families. since members are likely to be critical and quarrelsome Mothers may have unusual perplexi- ties in managing their children. Girls may be restless and disinclined to conform to domestic rules and liml- tations The evening will be more favorable to honest friendships than to sincere lovemaking.
 Business Affairs: In the coming week there should be steady retail trade. Employers of labor will find workers reasonable in their demands. There should be definite agreements and contracts concluded for winter projects. Merchants should avoid overstocking or selecting merchan- disc that appeals to persons Of wealth.
 National Issues: In Washington D. C.. there will be tense social re- lations. Foreign visitors will be nu- merous as secret missions are re- ceived with official ceremonies Closer trade relations between. the United States and Canada will be of great importance by midwi1iter when food problems will be grave in many parts of the world. Bankers will face perplexities as requests for foreign loans become insistent
 International Affairs: MusSOlini has in his horoscope certain signs that are favorable to Italy and con ducive to an effort to play safe in the European chess game. He will lace embarrassing problems in con- nection with Spain, it is indicated. Owing to the far flung interests of Great Britain the winter is to be a period of supreme difficulties in which it is possible for this country to become more or less involved.
 Persons whose birthdate it is should exercise extreme discretion in business dealings through the coming year. Women should not be too proud to seek good advice 7 in handling their financial matters.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be positive in theirl Ia : lures and restiye under3 guidance These subjects of Scorpio like to pursue their own devices and are fond of amusements.
