come a certainty. Trades unions and
other organizations, who regard the
common good above mass murder, would
be outlawed and destroyed.
If the citizens Of the United States
are to remain free and independent
people and maintain their social gains,
they must loudly proclaim their alb

they must pass resolutions similar to

Labor Urged to Oppose
Mobilization Plan.
To the Editor Of The Star:

1t is interesting to note that recently
the Columbia Typographical Union, No.
10l, Of Washington, D. c., passed a reso-
luton opposing the industrial mobiliza-
ton plan and American involvement
in the present war through the grant,
ing of loans or extension of credits to
any belligerents, through the trans
fering Of ships, or through any other
means by which the United States might
be led into war.
The mobilization plan is, in few
words, a Hitler-like regimentation of
labor. Under this plan all labor both
skilled and unskilled would be forced

deal the coup de grace.
Not since the days of Philip had Eng
land been in such case; Napoleon was
sweeping everything before him, his
revolutionary armies seemed irresistible
in their might and spirit, and his de-
clsion to invade the island seemed to
many to be certain of quick realization.
The funds dropped to a new low; the
world watched breathlessly for the i'm
pending debacle. But Nelson finished off
the French fleet at Trafalgar, and Ma
poleon reconsidered. And in 1915 the
Little Corporal, so admired by today's
two far smaller corporals, was aboard
the Bellerophon bound for st. Helena.
Then, when George w and William w
died, and the young Victoria came to the
throne, there were more misgivings. For
the sons of George III had made q
laughing stock of the court and few be-
lieved that the hands of the girl who
was next in line of succession were strong
enough to hold the reins. In that coro-
nation year one could search diligently
for England's prestige without finding
much to reward one for the search.
Then when she married Albert there was
more dissension which seemed to be lead
ing only to dissolution of the empire.
And it was Victoria herself who de-
clared that England's conduct in the in
volved affair of the Duchies (Schleswig-
Holstein) was indefensible and that her
country's prestige was evaporating. And
the old cry went up often after that-in
1870, when England permitted Germany
to inflict smashing defeat upon France
and to lay the ground work for 1914, and
when the Mahdis men massacred Gen.

Rumonions Evocuote
$50, 600, 900 Carol Line

ORADEA, Pennsylvania, Sept. 5
up PASSED by CENSOR Scattered
rifle shots, fired in the air for fun, -
signaled the Rumanian Army's evac-
uation yesterday of the 1000 900
line Of concrete fortresses on the
Hungarian frontier.
The costly Carol Line, hurriedly
built to save Transylvania from in
vasion, lay deserted, as lonely as a
ruin.
Hungarians Control Towns.
The retreating steel-helmeted
troops, moving out because Tran
sylvania was coded to Hungary at
the recent axi-dominated Vienna
conference, could not resist the
temptation of emptying a few cart
ridges. One conscript, grinning, ex-
planned: II want to fire at least one
shot before I leave the army"
Along the coded border the Hun
garian civil defense corps was al
ready in full control of towns and
villages.
Shopowners are hastily printing
signs in Hungarian. Only Hungarian
newspapers are being sold. The
household goods of Rumanians are
banked high in railroad yards, but
trains seldom run. Box cars are
damned with people.
Bitterness More Restrained.
The national bitterness, which led
Rumanian crowds to attack the Ger
man consulate, has become more re-
strained. Too busy now with the
evacuation Of Rumanians to the
old kingdom, civilians have no time
to demonstrate against "the Vienna
sentence"
From the northern mountains
come recurrent reports Of minor
clashes of Hungarian and Rumanian
peasants. Cigarettes are no longer
available here. Sugar and flour
have disappeared from stores. Pub
lie buildings have been stripped Of
furniture.
The average Hungarian minority
member seemed far from satisfied
with the German Italian solution of
the Pennsylvania problem.

COLUMBIA, La, Sept. S R.-At
first we were all scared when the
conv'cts, six Of them with sawed
of shotguns, took over our automo-
bile at Rayville. But they did not
harm us.
The men told us all about prison
life. They said they had been
planning this break l6 months. They
had 1t all fixed they would go to
Mexico and they were pretty sure
they would make 1t.
Gladys Diamond, my best girl
friend, was driving the car and
Jerry Harrigill and I were riding In
the back seat. We saw their car had
been wrecked SO we stopped.
Then We saw they carried guns
but 1t was too late and Gladys said !:
ooh! Oh! We're in for it now" All
six piled in our car, three in front
and three In back.
Fiat Tire Forced Stop.
We rode around on gravel roads
for long time, circling around be-
fore We saw q whole line of automo-
biles coming with men crowded in
them. He had q fiat tire and so we
turned out our lights and waited
Bullets began whizzing. They
came so close one of the convicts
had his leg singed. Things were
getting hot and we ran. Three OF
the convicts left us and we didn't
see them again. Gladys and ]
screamed while we ran and finally
the shots stopped.
Later Jerry could have ever
reached one of their pistols, but We
wouldn't let him because we knew
we would all be shot. They were
nice enough, no rough stuff.
Our only trouble was the men kept
pushing us to go on and on through
the woods. They said they couldn't
let us go because they would be
| killed.
I got SO tired last night almost
tainted. We hadn't had anything
to eat and nothing to drink. MY
legs were burning just like Goals OF
fire. They were so scratched up
We tried to get some sleep, bu,
every time we would doze of we
would see flashlights in the dark
and dogs barking on our trail.
Scout Oath" Is Ignored.
Those men made Gladys and me
sneak up to a farm to get water
Dogs were barking at us and we
were scared. So We left as soon as
We got drinks from a well. When
We got back the men were angry
and sent us back for some for them
Late Tuesday night they though,
they would let us go If we wouldn't
walk out until the next morning
Jerry swore on his Boy Scout honor
and We promised, too, but the mer
must have changed their minds
because they wouldn't let us 60.
Then yesterday morning they
made me walk out and make 9
truce. They wanted the police Il
send in car with only a driver anc
with its doors open so they coulo
see no one would be in it. They
wanted the driver to blow his horr
twice to signal that everything was
okay.
Then I told the police where they
all were. Later the convicts were
captured and Jerry and Gladys
came out of 1t safe and sound.
