CABINET OFFICERS IN CONGRESS
There has been some agitation in
the United States toward adopting
the English system and giving nienv
hers ot the cabinet seats in congress.
Secretary Lane does not think the
system would prove advisable in the
United States, and has recently given
his views upon the subject to a cor
respondent ot the United Press.
"Speaking lor myself." said Sec re-
re Ury Lane, "I would not have the
time to use my seat In congress if
I had one. Cabinet positions m
America are purely administrative
positions as opposed to those in Eng
land, where the supervision of the
various departments Is mostly car
ried on by nnder-secretarles.
"As the situation is now, we cab
inet officers have all the opportunity
desired to make clear our Ideas and
wishes 'to congress. In the first place,
the recommendations In our annual
reports state our positions to con
gress as clearly and forcibly as we
could state them If we addressed the
members from the floor of the cham
ber. In the second place, we have
ample opportunity to appear before
the congressional committees and
speak on any measure within our
province.
"In addition to that, all bills con
cerning our respective departments
are submitted to us as soon as intro
duced for the purpose of getting our
opinions on them. During the last
session of congress I wrote reports on
3,000 bills thus submitted

RUSSIANS TAKE
HEART FROM THE
ALLIES' VICTORIES
(By United Press Leased Wire.)
Petrograd. Oct. 1. Fired by the
victories gained along the eastern
i front in the past few days, the Rus
sians are striking fiercely at the Teu
ton lines from Riga to Gallcia. Allied
gains, too, along the western front
are having the effect of freshening
the Russians' courage and their bat
tling has taken on a ferocity un
known in the days when the Ger
mans were pounding their way east
ward, almost unhindered.
The war office today claimed that
the Slav morale is Increasing bet
ter, while the Teutons are manifest
ing a nervousness amounting in
many cases almost to a panic. It
was claimed that the Teutons In re
cent days have shown a tendency
to abandon their wounded in re
treats and to throw away arms and
projectiles.
The Germans in the Riga region
have weakly attempted an offensive
but the official statement claimed
this had been broken down under
the vigor of the Russian defense.
Russia claimed success south of
Lake Narotche, south of Lake
Boguinskl and on the Viliya tolow
Smorgon.
In the middle Stry region, where
the Germans In the past few days
have been somewhat more success
ful than elsewhere, the statement
claimed continuance of terrific bat
tling around Ciartorisk and Koikl.
The Galiclan struggle continues
heavily.
"Despite the large amount of data
showing the present favorable situa
tion of the Russian armies, the gen
eral staff prefers to abstain from con-
elusions until the situation is detln-

contrast to the Germans' breakdown,
shown by abandonment of slightly
wounded, their method of retreat,
and their nervous firing.
"The well regulated offensive,
broadly conceived and methodically
carried out by our alllse on the
western front simultaneously with
our above mentioned successes has
given fresh strength and Inspiration
to the mutual confidence of the allies
In their power and warlike quail
ties."

MAIL ORDERS NOT ECONOMICAL.
The person who buys from distant
mail order bouses rather than pat
ronize stores near home overlooks
certain items ot expense jtpat be has

says the Ashland Tidings.
Usually an extra transportation
charge has to be paid In buying of
the mall order bouse. If you buy of
your home dealer, who buys of tho
manufacturer, there Is but one
freight charge to pay, from tho fac
tory to the store. j

MESSAGE OF 7000
WORDS SENT PRES.
WILSON BY CRANK
San Francisco, Oct. 1. After hav
ing bowled over two women, appar
ently purposely, with bis electric
wheel chair at the exposition today,
a man giving the name of J. C.
Dolansky was taken into custody for
Investigation.
"Why did you do it?" he was
asked.
"Oh, I only wanted to give them
an object lesson In 'safety flrst,' "
said Dolansky.
Officials .then thought Dolansky
would bear further Investigation.
They round he had tiled a 7,Oio-word
nictiHagOi to President Wilson this
morning and had paid for It In
ord"r tii advise the chief executive
not to allow the ullled bonds to be
sold in this country.
Dolansky was quite chummy with
presidents, it appeared. He was
bending himself for China to have
a talk with Yuan Shi Kal, he de
clared. He seemed to have plenty of
money, which Is thought was willed
to him by bis father.
MASON TELLS WHAT
WA
MOVES
MEAN
New York. Oct. 1. It can no
longer bo doubted that tho allies
planned to have their present opera
tions on the western front develop
Into tho long-expected major offen
sive.
Otherwise so careful a diplomat as
Senator Ptchou would not have
stated, as he did In an exclusive In
terview with tho United Press, that
France has sufficient munitions to
carry the drive to a conclusion.
The allies must have realised that
the Germans will claim they have
shot their bolt" If tho offensive
falls.
The French and British announce
ment that private cable messages to
neutral countries are subject to a
two days' delay Is an Indication that
Important movements are in pro
gress. This move means that the
allies devised this scheme to prevent
Germany from learning through In
genious code telegrams to neutrals
Just what Is proceeding.
Indications are that a new allied
movement Is developing between
Roye and Solssons.. with LaFere and
Laon, supply centers, aa the ob
jectives.
ROAST FOR ROCKEFELLER
BY "MOTHER" JONES
Washington, Oct. 1. John D.
Rockefeller Jr.'s "personally con
ducted" welfare trip through Color
ado drew a fiery comment today from
'Mother" Jones, "angel of the min
ing camps," who luvited him to mske
an inspection of conditions.
"He Is making a bigger fool of
himself than ever on this trip
through Colorado," she said. "More
over, I'll tell him sbout It. too, the
first time I see him. I told him to
go there alone, call the miners to
gether and hear their grievances.
Instead he la surrounded with his
satellites. W. Markenalo King and
the rest are having him see only what
they want him to see.
"Dancing with a mine boss' wife
and borrowing a mine superintend
ent's nightgown, ss he did on his
tour, will not put more food Into
the stomachs of underpaid miners,
their wives and babies."
