Ft SiDEHT AIW8E88I0N Effort to Secure Endorsement of Irish Independence Is Quashed St. Paul, Minn., June 20. Samuel Gonipers was re-elected president of the American 'Federation of Labor to- lay. The election' of Gompers was by ac clamation. He was unopposed. James Duncan, Springfield, Mass., was e-eloeted first viee president and J. P. Valentine, Cincinnati, Ohio, was elected second vice president. They had no opposition. The federation today adopted a. res olution favoring home rule for Ire land. An effort to endorse Irish inde pendence was defeated. Timothy Healy, of tho lirotherhooa f Stationary Firemen, and Michael Euan, of the Pennsylvania Federation of Labor, were joint authors of the home rule resolution. Debate continued for an hohr. President Gompers turned off the oratory, scoring"iprofessional Irishmen in America. "Tho Irish in Ireland, not the Irish in the federation, will have to (kcido their own fate," said Gompers. Kesolutions asking that Samuel Gompers and other representatives of the federation- bo maintained perma nently in England, France and Italy until the war is won, were passed by the federation. A special plea that Gompers visit Italy to show Italian la bor that American labor is in sympa thy with their cause was made by Ital ian delegates. The federation went on record de claring that any kind of a world peace now is futile. The condition of RussSa was used to illustrate this position. The federation reiterated its support of President Wilson and said that "irresponsible diplomacy must perish uefore permanent peace terms can be made." Prussian Heaw Humor ' Shows In His Slang Phrases London, Juno 1. (By Mail) The II mi has Ins slang, too. Fritzw's bloodties havo had an in fluence on his wartime lingo ' of the trenches. He nicknamed the British common heavy shell after his cousin, the "Scliwarze sau" or black sow. Friteie's odoriferous stop-brother provided a slang name for the Frouch .75 high-explosive shell, which he affectionately calls "sthikwiesel." or skunk. He calls the French JS.shrapuel shall the "windhund" or greyhound, and the low velocity miBsile is a "blind schleicho" or slow-worm. Shells flying overhead are ' "hochbnn.en," elevated railways, "luftomnibusse," aerial om nibusscs or "rollwagen" which moans pushcart. The British high velocity heavy shell is called after the grand-daddy of Ger many, "schwarmr teufel" black devil and the Lewis gun is known as the "hackflcisch-mascbine" or mincemeat machine. Machine-guns of other types aro called "kaffeemuhle" coffee mill HERE'S REAL SKY PILOT, Pallas, Tel., Juru 20. Rev. A. J. Osborne, former assistant pastor of Calvary Episcopal church, JCew York City, has dis- carded the wings of eloquence and 4he flights of oratory, and has taken unto himself the " wings of an airplane, and is making flights .of observation and attack. He s a real sky pilot now. He didn't have to go to war, but he's still young, and he found a passage in the Book about "putting on the armor of justice," and took it to mean, in the present instance, an avia- tor's suit. So he joined the avia- tion eorps not as a chaplain, but as a fighter. - WHY PARIS SELLS MORE YOUNG MEN'S SHOES THAN ANY OTHER STORE IN SALEM Because we give them style, fit and best of all wearing qualities. Keith Konquerer Shoes can not be duplicated in quality even by paying $1.00 more than we are asking. We also carry a few women's shoes of this make that we guarantee will outwear any shoe on the market at any price. All our women's shoes are made by the unlocked process. A last that fits 90So better than other shoes. About Our Army Siloes We sell more Buckingham and Hecht Shoes than all stores combinedWhy? Because they are better quality and we don't hold you upwe sell them $1.00 less than other stores. Don't take our word, but ask any one wearing Buckingham & Hecht Army Shoes- "steinklopfer" stone breaker and "ma-! limasclur.e meaning mowing machine. They also call them by a word meaning "stuttering auntie", which comes near est to being like regular whiteman's slang. - Machinegun companies are especially noted for their devotion to the kaiser and it 's no wonder when you learn that they are called the "Murderer's Club" throughout the German army. MAKT JACKTES ENEOLLED AT STOCKTON'S COURT AND COMMERCIAL ITALIANS COUNTER (Continued from page one) is still comparatively light, while the: Italians are blocking every effort o the eneouy to "extend bis gain along the river area. The Austdan war orXlce re ported the extension of artillery fight ing westward to include the Tyrolean front. "The Cumber of prisoners increas es," Vienna declared.

(Night) The ele ment are aiding the Italians. Heavy rains in the mountain regions have changed the Piave from a slug gish stream to a rushing flood, de stroying bridges aind cutting off Aus trian forces on this aide of the river from their source of supply and rein forcements. British airmen report that twelve of the fourteen bidges flung acoBS the Piave by tho enemy have been caried awuy. Trapped on the west bank, Aus trian detachments are subjected to al most constant mauling by the Italian artillery and bombs dropped by allied airmen, with no avenue of escape. The Austrians thus caged in have an advantage in defensive positions and are yet too well supplied with am munition to warrant a frontal assault. There is every possibility, however, that exhaustion of their ammunition and food supplies, together with the pounding they are undergoing, will eventually force them to lay down their arms or sacrifice themselves in desperate esaults on tho Italian lines. Frantic efforts to restore the pon toons so far have been frustated by the swollen current and the accuracy of the Italian artillery. The enemy's losses on all parts of the front in the first three days of the offensive are now estimated at 150,000 The heaviest fighting is still around the bridgehead the Austrians have es tablished on the lower Piave from where they are trying to push west- wad toward Venice. The enemy now holds the west bank of the river from Mascrada to Fossalta and San Dona Di Piave, a front of 18 kilometers (aboutl2 miles.) Austrian artillery is pouring thous ands of poison, tear, emetic and mus tard gas shells into the rear areas. Schio, Bassano, Asolo and Treviso have thus been rendered practically unin habitable. A number of the wounded display ghastly wounds, in support of the claim that the enemy is using explos ive bullets. , On the lower Piave Austrian detach ments wearing Italian uniforms sought to advance, but the subterfuge was dis- v m V - 1 w I I '11 V Improve Your Appearance Know the ai of a bettercomplexton.

This, wo learned from a prisoner, was to have been a German retaliatory raid. Thn projector attack, of course, was timed for a favorable wind. The Germans wore so excited they failed to tako this into consideration. As a result much of the gas loosed against the American front lines was blown back into their own trenches. The barrage laid down by 'Our artil lery boxed in the comparatively small area deluged by gas, preventing tno Huns from fleeing to other parts of their lines and forcing them to stay and take it. American aviators reported later it) the day that gas clouds extended ten kilometers (moro than six miles) behind the German forward hn.es.

Stop Itching Eczema Preparing For New Drive. ...Lcndon, June 20,-Buiding activities such as presaged the last German drive were reported all along the Flanders front and the northern portion of the Pienrdy irea, by Field Marshal Haig to day, borne of the raids led .to sharp fighting with heavy enomy casualties. '. TIim increased raiding activities were accompau'ud by an iucreaso in artil lery firing along the southern portion of the Flanders front and the northern part of the Iicardy front, . "In the neighborhood of Boyclles, Lens, Giv.enchy, Strazelle and Ypres tlicre were a number of raids," the statement said. "Certain of those led to sharp fighting, with many enemy cas ualties. va took 18 prisoners and three machine guns. , A hostile raiding party in the neigh borhood of Morlancourt was repulsed by artillery and rifle fire. "Between the Sonime and the Ancr.5 there was hostile artillery firing. On both sides of Albert and in the LuBas see canal sector thjro was considerable reciprocal artillery fighting last night" they were addressed would not suffer as a result of the raids. In an official statement on the seiz ures, the postoffica department declar "Such messages, when stnt in this manner, constitute a violation of the postal laws and niak,') the guilty par ties liabln to a fine of not more than $500 or imprisonment for not more thas six months, or both, in each ease." It was explained that no action against tho messengers arrested was con- mplnted but that the Western Union company will be prosecuted. Uver 1500. telegrams of tue charactci mentioned were taken from the me senders. The White House declined to comment on the government's action. It was as siunod however, that this constituted one of the several answers President Wilson is in a position to make New comb Carlton, president of the Western Union, who declined to accept a recent majority opinion in tle war lubor board upholding the right of telegraphers to organize in the company offices. .

Baker is batisffcd Washington, Juno 20 With Secre tary of War Baker favorable to an 18-45 draft age, congress is believed likely to frame its legislation practic ally on that line. It may be append ed as an amendment to the army bill, for it appears tlho secretary is favor- aibte to that method, though Provost Marshal trowucr is understood to ,ad' vocate separate legislation. Crowdor. too. is understood to on posevlowei'ing the draft limit to 18, but Bokicr originally advocated in eluding youth's of J.9. Now he is fav oraiblo to including 18 year old boys, saying that their inclusion would have a less disturbing effect upon industrial and family relations than would the drafting of many older men. While ho has not made up his mind iully on the extension cuiestion, Bale or now declares he would undoubtedly endorse an 18 45 limit if submitted to him. Incidentally, he denies quito em phatically that thero !a any attempt or intention on the part of tho war department o regulato or control labor oxK.ft insofar as it guides it into use ful war work. It was expected today the provost marshal gcnoral's office soon will am plify its original statement concern ing "work or fight," and also defi nitely establishing the status of base ball players. It developed today heavy calls for tho draft will como nqxt month, but that thereafter a sliding scale of few er men than heretofore will prevail. This is due to tho situation, recently pointed out by the United Btntes. name ly that transportation must be ad justed to supply problems soon after wo ipas the 1,000,000 troops mark in France.
