LONDON, Oct. 16. The General Federation of Trades Unions has Issued a manifesto renewing Its declaration In support of the government in the pres ent war. but urging that better pro visions be made for wounded soldiers. It recommends a minimum pension of o a week. Copies of the manifesto have been sent to the affiliated organ izations in the United States. Reform in the army," the manifesto says, "must be pressed, particularly in the direction of Increasing allowances and facilitating promotion from the ranks. A royal commission, including representatives or laDor, with first hand knowledge of labor conditions. should he appointed for this purpose now. ORATOR SAYS STATE IS LAX F. T. Hyskell at Forest Grove De clares Oregon Doesn't Bay. FOREST GROVE. Or.. Oct. 16. Srje eial. ) That Oregon Is buying 90 per cent of its manufactured goods in the Kast, and consuming only 10 per cent of its own manufactured products, was asserted tonight by Frederick T Hyskell, of Portland, in an address' at the semi-annual banquet of the j-orest Grove Commercial Club. "Raw materials, labor, power and running accessories are available for me producer on a competitive basi and nearly everything1 is manufactured in Oregoo," said Mr. HyskelL "There is no real reason why Oregon people should not consume more Oregon prod ucts. The quality is as good or better and the price just as low as the arti cle with the Eastern label. "That Is the basis on which Oregon manufacturers seek your patronage. If you want better business, if you want for rent' signs to disappear, start patronizing Oregon institutions. "I have found, in my experience be hind the counter, that nothing makes a better impression on a customer than to tell him something new about the goods. On the other hand, nothing is weaker or more harmful than careless statements. For example, if a woman customer is told that a piece of cloth will hold its color, and later finds that it fades, she immediately loses faith in the firm. "One of the results of this feeling Is a demand for greater cleanliness in advertising. I know a Portland merchant who took an advertisement to a paper. About an hour later he was called on the telephone by the pub lisher, who desired verification of part of the advertisement. Believing that the public would doubt a statement which the publisher did not believe, the merchant changed the wording of the doubted statements, although they were true. A single false note may turn the public wholly against an advertised article." State Senator Hollls was toastmaster at the meeting. BRITISH FED IN FIGHT KITCHENS SUPPIT MEN, EVEN ON FIRING LINE OF BATTLE. German Attacks Made by Clock and Compass, but After Rrpnlne Foes Get Rest During Night. PARIS, Oct. 15. An intimate account of the battle on the Aisne will show an amazing regularity in the German attacks. Orders to the British, since the Germans were driven into a pre pared position, were to begin to fight at dawn and keep it up until nightfall. So well organized was the British sup ply that not once have the men failed to have a meal even on the fighting line. As a rule, however, sections have re lieved each .other in the advanced British trenches, returning afterwarn to renew the unceasing hail of projec tiles on the German position. INow that the infantry and artillery are chiefly engaged,' General French's cavalry has had a chance to rest, and the horses are ' coming into condition again. For some time the men had been heavily in action, but passed hours each day in reconnoissance, just sufficient to keep the horses fit. Officers and men also nave had an opportunity to visit the base and refit. They were alike in ragged state, and in one case a West Kent Yeoman re ported wearing a French artilleryman's cap with his regimental badge of the White Horse of Kent pinned on. On the British side the frontal at tacks are regarded wtih perfect equan imity and have been mastered with relatively little loss. The Germans contented themselves with an artillery duel during the day light, and with astonishing regularity a night attack at about 8 o'clock. The British troops made their dispo sitions accordingly. When dusk fell action ceased except for a dropping fire at intervals. The German advance never varied; they had marked down the allies' trenches during the day and sent bat talian after battalion straight at them when night had- fallen, the direction being evidently taken by compass bear lngs, for the bulk of the Germans are lying on the reverse, of the hills and may be seen coming over the crests in close formation. The nights are clear, with plenty of tarlight, and their figures show against the sky line in a blurred silhouette. Invariably the British allow them to come within a certain range, when they are cut down by machine gun fire from the flanks and rifle fire in front. They fall back and the British trops have a night's rest. Several times the -British mrantry, taught by the tactics of the Boer, have tricked the German advance into posi tive disaster. One gun of the heavy caliber which the Germans are employing on the Aisne has not been located. Everyone calls it the coal-box because its shell gives off a dense black cloud, unlike the gray smoke of the German 80 pounders. KING'S FUNERAL HELD BODV OF CHARLES OF ROUMANIA REPOSES IN CRYPT. Salute of 101 Guns Is Fired and Every Church Bell Tolls as Cortege Leaves Bucharest Catnedral. , BUCHAREST (via London). Oct 16. 4:60 A. M. The funeral of King Charles of Roumania was held here yesterday morning. Later in the . day the body was placed in a crypt in the cathedral at Curtea De Arges, one of the ancient capitals of wallachla. After the last benediction was pro nounced over the body the service for the dead was said in the orthodox church and at its conclusion the body of the late King Charles was placed on a gun-carriage, drawn by six horses. A salute of 101 guns was fired and all the church bells in Bucharest tolled. Two special trains carried the funeral party to Curea De Arges, where the cortege again formed and proceeded to the ancient cathedral, where the body was entombed. Funeral services were held simul taneously in all the churches in the kingdom. More than 80,000 persons viewed the body of King Charles while It lay In state in the palace here. ITALIAN MOTIVE FEARED SEW WAR MINISTER. CAUSES AP PREHENSION IN VIENNA. Annexation of Austrian Province Is Considered Possible and Emperor Reported Investigating. ROME (via Paris), Oct. 16 The Messagero today published a telegram from Vienna which says that the ap pointment of General Zupelli as Italian Minister of War is causing some ap prehension in the Austrian capital, the fear being entertained that General Zupelli, who comes from Capo d'lstria, Austria-Hungary, will favor the join ing of the Province of Istria to Italy. It is rumored here that a special court courier has left Vienna for Rome with an autograph letter from Empervr Francis Joseph on the subject. In connection with the appointment of General Zupelli it Is recalled that when, during the reign of King Hum bert, Signor Zanardelll was forming a Cabinet, he chose General Baratierl as Minister of Foreign Affairs and that this ministry was compelled to dis solve chiefly because of the fact that General Baratleri camo from Trent. HO WAR SCAB SEEN IN RUSSIAN CAPITAL Black, Unsightly Building of German Embassy, Boarded Up, Is Lone Reminder. ONE GOOD EFFECT IS NOTED With Absolute Ban on Liquor Bales Disorder Has Disappeared and Permanent Prohibition Is Expected to' Result. BY ROBERT CROZIER LONG. PETBOGRAD, Oct. 11. There are few signs of war In the Russian capital. The city differs from Paris, Berlin and Vienna in that all Its young men have not been sent to the front. I see ev-! erywhere sturdy, lounging only sons ! who are exempt from service; and I there are plenty of house porters, dvorniks and "izvostchiks" to keep the public services going. When I left Berlin- the "Stadtbahn" trains were running only once every half an hour, and women were working as tram con ductors. The abundance of idle males of fighting age is an element of strength to Russia. The shop windows show little evi dence of war. Portraits of Generals Ivanoff, Zhilinsky and . Rcnnenkampf are displayed on post cards, and there are some mournful black cards with . pictures of the Kremlin and the text of the Czar's speech at Moscow. This reserve Is remarkable. In the early days of the Manchurlan war Russia was flooded with patriotic "lubotch nlya" pictures printed In glaring col ors, showing Impossible Cossack charges and impossible sturdy muzhiks crushing between their fingers whole battalions of Japanese "monkeys." Since then people have t-rown more se rious. There are occasional processions led bjl priests with ikons; and there has been one imposing procession of anti-alcohol enthusiasts. Also there are many funerals of men brought here wounded, and who have died, and many requiem services. No figures of losses are given. But as in all cases they are for officers the requiem services show that the Germans did execution before they retired in East Prussia. German Embassy Sorry SiKht. A permanent outward sign of war is the German Embassy building, a new building at the corner of the Morskaja and St. Isaac's Square. This Is a vast, ugly edifice of gray stone, with columns reaching from pavement to ruof, and long rows of monotonous factor) windows. The building, which a year ago caused a controversy among Berlin architects, recalls irresistibly the warehouses of Tletz, Wertheim, and other universal providers. It spoils the effect of the beautiful palace of the Ministry of Ag riculture which is opposite. The Em bassy windows are now boarded up, and were it not for the absence of the roof statuary and for the presence of mud on the walls, no one would imag ine that It has been attacked and sacked. The public takes the war in a healthy and self-sacrificing spirit. The' con duct of all classes is extremely good. Notable are the absence of demonstra tive enthusiasm the demonstration stage lasted for only a few days after mobilization was proclaimed the al most complete solidarity of parties and factions; and the restrained atti tude when news comes of success or defeat. The contrast with 1904-5 Is marked. Then a small section, violent ly loyal and patriotic, opposed a vast majority of Indifferent citizens, who rejoiced at their country's defeats. Prohibition Stops Disorder. The good " behavior during mobiliza tion of reservists is due largely to the drastic measures taken against the sale of drink. The temperance enthusiast, Tcheluisheff, who has been warring on the drink traffic for many years, says with some reason that the cost of the war will be covered in a few years by savings due to stoppage of the vodka traffic; and that all the physical and moral suffering now Impending will not be greater than that caused by drink in a decade. The traffic in vodka, wine and other alcoholic beverages is entirely sus pended. Today the 70,000 state "lavki" (retail vodka shops) are closed Indefi nitely. A strong agitation is going on to keep them closed till the end of the war. That means that they would never be reopened. The government has not gone so far, but It has prom ised to respect resolutions in favor of closing passed by peasant communes under the existing local option law. Hitherto these resolutions have usually for fiscal reasons been ignored. To day's announcement is that the Duma will meet this month and will have laid before It a bill regulating the drink question. Meantime, Petrograd has been transformed In a way which -will be realized only by those who knew the city before the war. Then, on Sunday night, as many as 10,000 drunken per sons were arrested, or, more often, helped by policemen to stagger home. Since the first mobilization day no drunken man has been, seen. The threat of a fine of 11500 for the first offense has kept restaurant proprie tors and wine dealers from trying to evade the law. Peasants Ready to Fight. The peasant reservists have shown great readiness to fight. The few who are still passing through Petrograd make an excellent impression. They have a less European cast of face (par ticularly noticeable when they are clean shaven) than Germans have; and for neatness they do not compare with Germans. But most faces are intelli gent, though one sees faces of a for lorn, dead type which could not be found outside Russia. To counterbalance these probably useless soldiers, there are big, husky men with sunburnt faces and vast physical strength, such as one sees In Germany only east of the Elbe and in the hills. These men have served as soldiers. In addition, the villages con tain hundreds of thousands of exempt ed "only sons" and other privileged men. These men. too, are eager to go to the front. Their eagerness has pro duced some humorous and some tragic incidents. In the Tchistopol district of Zazan province, where mobilization be gan first of all. a certain Pavl Kovrin turned up - in four copies. The sur prised officer in charge told three of the Pavl Kovrlns that they must be long to other units. It turned out that they were superfluous, untrained men. who, hearing that the genuine Kovrin was ill, had hastened to take his place. Townsmen Shew Strength. A marked feature of the mobilization was the relatively good physique of the men in the towns. Here Russia's army compares well with Germany's. The Russian reservists usually have behind them only one generation of town life; and many have been born in the country and are themselves In law peasants, or petits bourgeois lately risen from the peasant class. The peasants are making great sac rlflces for the war. Their kopecks given for Red Cross and other charlta ble aims are mounting up to a large Got to Go Decs to 1 Cure Rheumatism Liniments Help Loudly, But the Disease is Way Down Inside. - To get at the source of rheumatic pains It requires the deep, searching In fluence of 8. 8. 8.. the famous blood nur- lfier. Rheumatism is primarily a blood ' disease that, since it 1b In this vital fluid that rheumatic tendencies are carried, lodges In the joints and muscles, there to Irritate the nerves and produce pain.

This explains why it overcomes the most chronic forms of rheumatism, why it dislodges those bard deposits that thicken the joints, for it acts as a solvent and assists the blood to pro vide in the tissues those natural elements lor which the body-building process con tinually craves and must have. If you have never used S. 8. S. for rheumatism, get a bottle today of any druggist.

When you ask for 8. 8. 8. in sist upon it and refuse all substitutes. sum. That was always the Russian way; for the empire is overburdened with charitable institutions. A newer feature Is that the peasant is working for himself and for others. M. Krav shennikoff said that 1" remote parts of Olonetz peasants have started reading clubs to criticise the war; and that many communes, without being asked, set to making good roads, in order that the transport of rye to the army might be made easier. Other peasant commu. nities are organizing the collection of money saved from vodka. Against the prohibition of vodka no peasant has raised his voice. In part that is be cause the only vested interest is the state. In part It is because enlight ened public opinion and the press are unanimously against reopening the vodka shops. BLOW GIVEN RECRUITING METHODS OF ENGLISH WAR OFFICE ASSAILED BY MAJOR-GENERAL. Condition' That Forces SOOO Recruits Without Work Back to Reservists Pay, 12 Cents Dally, Regretted. LONDON, Oct. 15 Complaints of the Inadequacy of War Office arrange ments to deal with recruits were made in the House of Commons by Major- General Sir Ivor Herbert; Lord Lieuten ant of Monmouthshire. "I regret to have to make public a state of things which is a scandal," he said. About 6000 men had come for ward from his county In the last few weeks in response to his call, and tie felt some responsibility towards them. The men had been hurried to regi mental camps and depots, where they were herded together, where there was absence of food, absence of pay and in sufficient provision for washing and sanitation. In one place 2000 were crowded into barracks with accommo dation for only 600. The climax came when these men, many of whom had given up situations at $15 and $20 a week, were sent horns to wait until they were required on reservists' paj of 12 cents a day. Borne men had dis banded their homes and found them selves in the streets. "I speak with warmth, for I feel with warmth," he said. "If this is an ex ample of the .organization of the War Office, It is high time that the Secre tary for War, who has a great repu tation as an organizer, should vindi cate that reputation." Mr. Tennant, the Under-Secretary tor War, said thousands of men had been Dourlng In and the staffs were only human. The food might have been badly cooked and badly served, but It was good food. PROGRESSIVEHOPEGQNE LITTLE CHANCE IN PENNSYLVANIA RACE INDICATED. Glf ford Pincaot, Senatorial Nominee, Believed Looking for Penrose . to Witt. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Oct. 16 Early developments in the Pennsylvania campaign maicaie that the leaders of the Progressive party in that state have abandoned all idea of figuring In the political con test, because of the rapid disintegration of their organization. Already the Pro gressive nominee for Governor has withdrawn from the race, and given his Indorsement to the Democratic candi date, in the hope of swinging the third party vote to the Democratic state mors remarkable still was the ensuing announcement of Gifford Pin chot, the Progressive nominee for Sen ator, that he too would withdraw and throw his support to A. Mitchell Palm er, the Democratic opponent of Pen rose if he thought that Palmer had any chance of winning out. This announce ment means that in Mr. Pinchot'a opin ion Penrose will be re-elected. In view of the fact that Colonel Roosevelt, in 1912, polled 177,000 mors votes than Taft in Pennsylvania, the present plight of the Pennsylvania Pro gressives is astonishing, but these dis closures probably also give the reason why Colonel Roosevelt, after a careful survey of the situation,' decided he would spend little time campaigning for the third party ticket In Pennsyl vania this Fall.

FLEET TIMID, SAYS SAILOR Germans Welcome Visit Only I"rom Hostile Fishing Flotillas, but Dodge Warships, Writes Gun ner on King's Vessel. LONDON, Oct. 15 Further pen pic tures of active service are given In the two following letters, one from a soldier and the other from a sailor: "We are now getting into our stride and beginning to get a little of our own back out of the Germans,'' says one. "They don't like it at all now that we are nearer to them In numbers, and their men all look like so many Weary Willies," they are so tired. You might say they had got 'that - tired feeling' bad, and so they have. Some of them Just drop into our arms when we call on them to surrender, as though it were the thing they'd been waiting for all their lives. "One chap, who knows a little Eng lish, told us he was never more pleased to see the English uniform In all his life before, for he was about fed up with marching and fighting In the In human way the German officers expect thejr men to go on. When we took him to camp he lay down and slept like a log for hours, he was so done up. "That's typical of the Germans now, and it looks as though the Kaiser were going to have to pay a big price for taxing his men so terribly. You can't help being sorry for the poor fellows. They all say they were told when set ting out that It would be child's play beating us, as our army was the poor est stuff in the world. Those who had had experience In England didn't take that In altogether, but the country yo kels and those who had never been out side their own towns believed it until they had a taste of our fighting qual ity, and then they., laughed with the other side of their faces. "That's the Germans all over, to Ttid' themselves into the belief that they have got a soft thing and then when they find It's too hard to run away from it. Our lads have made up their minds to give them no rest once we get onto them, and they'll get as much of the British army as they can stand and maybe a little more. The French are greatly pleased with the show we made in the field and are in much bet ter spirits than they were." Lance Corporal T. Williams. The following Is a letter from a gun ner with the North Sea fleet: "We still keep on the lookout for the Germans and pay surprise visits to their haunts whenever we can, but they are never at home to callers like us. If you sent a fleet of fishing boats they would always be at home and would have the time of their lives emptying shot Into them. but. bless you. it's altogether different when It comes to fighting ships that can hit back with Interest. Thafs a horse of another color, and the Germans are mighty particular about the color of their horses, especially sea horses. We are living In hope, and you know the old saying about them as lives In hope never dying of despair." Gunner T. Braden. ' GOWN PRICES MODERATE Models Show Skirts Are Fuller Xow Than Usual.
