"Taking Up the Slack",
PRESUMABLY the great demand for Amer

ply thereby has brought the cost of living
and the price of working upward. But,
should production catch up or pass demand
after the war then a re adjustment will take
place. Wages and living would both be less.

Somebody's Dollars Will Do It
I Wonder if They'll Be Yours
I
By Drue Barton
WILL tell you what will happen some
night this winter in France. Some
night when its cold and dark. There
will be a rustling through the front line
trench, where our boys stand guard. And
a heavy ladened Secretary will make
his way along.
In his hands will be great steaming
pots: in his pocket chocolate and ciga
rettes. From one man to another he will go,
passing a cup full of hot coffee to hands
that tremble with the cold; bringing the
comiort ox a bit 01 sweet and a smoke.
Men will hail him cheerily, slapping
mm on the pack; and, when he has gone'
things will be a little easier in that trench
because he has passed that way.
How much will it cost to make that
trip.vdo you suppose? Counting the
pittance that the Secretary is paid, and
the cost of the chocolate and the ciga
rettes and all? - -.
' Five dollars? , Twenty-five dollars?
I do not know. . 1
But whether it five dollars or
twenty-five I'd like to think that it is
my five or twenty-five wouldn't you ?
That some night when it's cold and lone
some, my money and yours might send a
Secretary out along that frontlinetrench.
Let's make up our minds that wo are
going to pay for a score of those trips.

Walter L. Tooze, Sr., Is in receipt
of an Interestingly letter, descriptive
of the battlefront in France, from his
son. Lieutenant Lamar Tooze. The
letter was written September 21, a
week before his twin-brother.
Lieutenant Leslie Orland Tooze, her
oically lost his life in action. The
letter describes the. devastation of
war, the sound of artillery and an ex
citing battle in the air. Lieutenant
Tooze writes as follows:
'For over two weeks we have been
flying around France, stopping' long
enough, in places to get a bath,
change of clothes and to write let
ters. In no place have we stopped
longer than four days. It would sur
prise you how mobile the organiza
tions are and how expeditiously
things are reorganized when we
land. I ean't begin to tell you where
we have been or what we have been
doing I have almost lost track of
time. Day and night are the same
to us. Sometimes we sleep at night
and work during the day; other
time it's the reverse.
"The Impression that strikes me
the most forcibly is long Hours
through mud which sticks like glu
cose that white clayey stuff that
sticks like adhesive plaster. Yes. I
have seen many sights during the
past few weeks. I had always
thought my life in the states was
more or less strenuous.but this beats
it. I wish I could paint in words my
Impressions. They are Impressions
because after all. when you get
into this part of France every thin
has the same characteristics. It is
war-scarred. I am very susceptible
to Imaginative wonderings as you
know, and the low wall of a ruined
French cottage: a shattered church.
or a valley made ugly by trenches
speak to me stronger than the roar
of artillery which I hear now. They
speak of life where now there is
only desolation. In fancy I can see
these leveled villages populated by
the delightful French peasantry. I
can see them ploughing their fields
with, their crude implements: 1 can
see the time-honored town cryer
shouting news to an interested pop
ulace, 1 can hear the musical prattle
of the Frencb children, but it's all
rone. Those deep-throated German
; guns belched out of existence those
'. little hamlets. All that remains is a
towering wall or so, streets impas
sable with debris, and death-like sil
ence. Oliver Goldsmith pictured
French towns In the "Deserted Vil
lage"; Dad, it's a noble cause, so
noble that It Is sacred. Americans,
Frenchmen. Englishmen, Italians,
and all the allies are crusaders as
truly as the knights of history.
"We have been under shell fire
already and don't mind it at all. I
figure that there Is plenty or room
in other parts of France for them
to land besides in the little territory
we occupy.
"There's something about artillery.
You can hear the projectiles hurtling
through the air and then comes the
dull thud like detonations, when

both ours and the boche batteries
working. - i
"Saw an exciting air battle the

and for two minutes they dodged
and maneuvered like birds in a cock

tail and ran for it. A boche plane
was brought down near here tonight.
Leslie and I are feeling fine and eat

some pretty hard knocks the past

hardships.

For Ludendorff's fall he blames Lu

SEATTLE. Oct. 28. With no liv

hurled to the bottom of Lynn canal

ka, Friday night or earlv Saturday
mornhg. with the loss of 343 lives.
several theories regarding the ulti
mate cause of the disaster have been
formulated by shipping men. The
one most generally accepted Is that
shortly after the Sophia's stern was
swung round br the blizzard raging
washed her off Vanderbllt reef where
she struck during a blinding snow
storm Thursday, the sea rushed Into
the vessel's enginerooms exploding
her boilers.
That this might hare taken place
Just when- a final effort was being
made to launch 'some lifeboats for
the passeneers almost seems to be
borne out by, the fact that most of
the bodies so far- reported found
were fully dressed with lifebelts nn
nd many were covered with oil
Steamshipmen assert that even with
hole in her bottom, the Sophia's
tanks should have been able to keep
her afloat.
That everv effort was made to
provide for the passenger's safety Is
the opinion' of steamship captains
operating In these waters. They
point out that there were aboard the
Sophia many .experienced river mas
ters, some of them with coastwise
experience, who, with their own live
at stake as well, doubtless consulted
w'th Captain F. L. Locke of the So
phia as to the best measures to be
adopted under the circumstances.
Latest reports from Juneau today
were that approximately 150 bodies
had been recovered, but at the time
of filing the dispatch only 18 had
reached Juneau. 17 men and one boy
It was reported that the shores for
miles around the scene of the wreck
were strewn with bodle and that n
fleet of from IK to 2G small craft
was conducting the search for bodies
Stormy weather was still interfering
with the work, but It was believed
that nearly all the bodis eventually
would be recovered. This hope was
strengthened by the report that
watches found on some bodies had
stopped at In minutes of seven
presumably Saturday morning and
that, therefore, all the passengers
had been out of their cabins and
dressed. Finding of lifebelts on
many of the bodies also indicated the
belief in the minds of the Sophia's
officers that the vessel was doomed.
Governor Thomas Riggs of Alas
ka has assumed personal charge of
the work of searching for bodlei.
Flags in Alaska were yesterday put
at half mast at the goveror's orders,
and churches throughout the terri
tory affected by the disaster held
memorial services.
Tuesday 150 coffins will be ship
ped to Juneau from Seattle for the
victims .

SUDDEN OUTCRY TO DIVIDE ALLIES, SAYS DANIELS.
INTENDED TO ENGENDER SUSPICION AND DISTRUST
HARTFORD, Conn., Oct. 28.
"Let nobody mistake the purpose of
those who are suddenly oposlng the
president's demands," Secretary Dan
iels said tonight In an address here
urging the return of a democratic
majority in congress. "It Is' to try
and drive a wedge between the allies,
create differences and to make one
allied nation suspicious of the good
faith of Its associates. For nine
months all America bat stooff for
Wilson declarations In his great
speech of January 8. Now when the
time has come when American lea
dership Is to prevail for. the good of
all the world there are those who
wish to destroy their country's proud
place. As the election aproaches. are
we to repudiate American leadership,
turn our backs upon our profession
and Introduce difference and discord
Into the council of the allied nations?
"No matter what the motive, the
result Is that If we do not stand uni
ted for the fourteeaVprlnelpIes. which
our allies hare -accepted, the agita
tion for a repudiation -will make our
allies think we are not to be trusted,
will make them query whether Amer

America's good faith.
