GOMPERS RE-ELECTED

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.

Field, June 19. (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-

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.

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

"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.

and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying a little semo
furnished by any druggist for 35c. Extra

moment zemo is applied. In a short time
usually every trace of eczema, tetter,
pimples, rash, blackheads and similar
skin diseases will be removed
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, always use zemo, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. It is not a
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat

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

It developed today heavy calls for

that thereafter a sliding scale of few
