Andrew TSrdrick brewery, Bridge and Walker streets. The United States Government has established a "dry zone" within half a mile of the Frankford Arsenal and of the Philadelphia Navy Yard. Twenty-flve saloonkeepers and other liquor dealers In the Frankford dis trict are affected by tkc order and Wilt have to close. Schuylkill Arsenal is not affected by the order, which provides for the es tablishment of the zohes around only those Government posts where more than 250 sailors or soldiers are sta tioned. Schuylkill Arsenal has fewer than this number. The navy yard, while It comes under the provisions of the rule, -will not be affected for tho reason that there are no saloons " within tho prescribed radius. Five thousand civilians are employed at Frankford Arsenal and 500 soldiers, on guard duty, are regularly stationed there. tialoonkecperi Agitated Saloonmen of the Frankford Arsenal section croWed the offleos of the netail Liquor Dealers' Association today, beek lne to learn whether they came within the provisions of the new ruling and If so, when they will have to close. No definite information la obtainable on this point yet. for Lieutenant Colonel O. B. Hatch, of tho marine corps, m charge of -enforcing such regulations' in this city, has not recehed any instruc tions from Washington, Until he does he will take no step toward closing the taloons around the Frankford Arsenal. Under the circumstances the saloon men were advised to keep open for the present but to be prepared to close at a moment's notice. Juot how the Government will measure the half-mile dry zone Is a matter for speculation. If taken from the main gate of the arsenal only about seventeen places will be affected. If the zone is measured from the cen ter of the arsenal grounds, the total will be still smaller, but If the- dry area is llgured on the basis of a zone reaching a half mile from each torner of the aruenal property, nearly thirty saloons, wholesalers and bottlers will be affected. Another" point not yet determined is whr thethe Andrew Erdrlck brewery, at Bridge and Walker streets, frank ford, must close. The order from Wash ington makes no mention of breweries, but refers to all nlaces that "dispense liquor." Should the half-mile zone be con Kldered as ending in the middle of Orthodox street, two saloons on the south side will be able to remain open. But if the zone takes in both sides of Orthodox street, Brldesburg will be ab solutely dry. It was figured by City Hall officials today that the city would have to re turn between J20.000 and 25,00O in license fees if the order is strictly enforced. The annual fee is U100, of which the State gets 10o and the city the rest. Returns on license fees are made on a monthly basis, and It is es timhted that about J86G would have to be handed back to each saloonman ho Is forced out of business. "Hotbeds of Propaganda," ' United States Attorney Kane and Col onel d'Shaughnessy, commandant of the Frankford Arsenal, have been trying for some months to have a dry zone estab lished. They contend that some of the saloons of that section were "hotbeds of, German propaganda." that liquor was aurrepitously passed to enlisted men and that the usefulness of the civilian em ployes was lowered by the presence of the liquor shops. , The revised regulations, which were alj-ned Dy rreeiaeni nson wiu mi.- retary of War Baker, June 27. on recom - mendatlon of the Attorney General, the Ctn'tlnoed en P.f.

WILSON BUILDING NEW DEMOCRACY THROUGH LABOR T ,. . LlkelVi V Workers' Party When Absorbed Forces Gain Control -. -, a r-iivT TAFT SUPPLIES REASON J vl L Juri lL,J """ , Political 311(1 UlllOll Victories Tempered by Exigency of Winning War By CLINTON W. GILBERT Staff Corrrjponrfrnt Evnixo Public l.rdatr Waslilncton, July 2. Out of the exigencies nf this war President Wilson ii creating a new Democratic party. It will be, in part, like the Social Democratic parties of Europe, or like the combined Liberal Labor party of Great Britain a few year before the war, out of which t latter has come the gre.u Labor party of England that now promises, sooner or later, to be the Government there, 1 . . . and, on a parallel with Great Britain s, Is the peril of Mr. ' Wilson's cntcr- prise. The Democratic parly is now accomplishing the complete Incorpora tion of labor into its midst: a little later labor may incorporate the Dem ocratic party into its midst. But there can be no mistake of the meaning of events like the laise in wages to the railroad employes, tho Taft-Walsh board's ruling that the discharged unionists of the tclegrapli companies must be reinstated and the presidential veto of the Rorlaad eight hour amendment. Under compulsion of the necessity to have industrial peace while we are conducting war, the Administration is taking a posi tion on labor questions which will earn it tho gratitude of labor all over the country. The Adamson railroad law and the President's position upon it, more than any other thing, except the blunder in California, accomplished Mr. Wilson's re-election. What is going on now is what was done then multiplied one hundred fold and ex tended everwhere. labor's Trump Card What was done with regard to the railroad employes in the first Admin istration turned industrial Republican States like Ohio Democratic. It laid the foundations of a "Labor Demo cratic" party. It aroused the political consciousness of labor. What Is being done now is the full development and fruition of what was done then. The next congressional election will afford the first test of what it means in votes to have Government operation fol lowed by increases in wages; to have a failure to obey nn order to permit tlie unionization of workers followed by a threat of commandeering and Government operation; to have short hours of work, even in a national emergency, stamped with the Presi dent's approval. And It is not easy to quarrel with what the President Is doing for labor. To a considerable ex tent the worker is only getting barely justice. Again, the nation Is at war and It is Important to keep labor loyal and satisfied that it is being fairly dealt with. The Republicans will have to show how else industrial peace could be maintained than by making the concessions to workers that Presi dent Wilson is making. Taft AfTordft Reason And the position of the ltepubllcans is going to be made difficult by. the fact 1 that, In a large measure, the President; acts upon the facts as they are found! by that great and judlclal-mlnded Re-1 publican, former President Taft. Whether it was Mr. Wilson's purpoEe to assure the whole nation of the integrity of his labor policy, or whether It was his Idea to stop the mouths of his Republican critics', the placing of Mr Taft at the head of what is virtually the national court of appeal in labor disputes, was a stroke of genius. A conservative hav ing the confidence of conservatives finds the facts and Mr. Wilson acts upon them. A Republican, a leader of Re publicans, finds the facts and Mr. Wil son acts upon them. Thlo Is either mas terly politics or it Is masterly leadership in war. rollllra and I.eudf rililp Perhaps it U both. Probably It is both. Out of national crises, as each exltrts, the party In power Is sure to profit or to correct Itse.f It is not neces sary to regard the creation of a new Labor Democratic nartv. which is going I on under our eyes, as anything more than a by-product of conducting the war. Put Mr. Wilson has a 'keen eye for by. products. He has discovered how to use his political opponents. That Is one of the well-earned lessops of the last few months. When the war broke out the President had a horror of his opponents. It was the Instinctive shrinking of a man called, late In life, out of a schol ar's closet into the struggles of poli tics The Republicans felt that the country felt, with them, that they ought to be Invited to share in the conduct of the war. But Mr. Wilson shrank from con tact with them. Just as he shrank from contact with big business men, his other opponents, as he ponceived them to be, Now he has found a way, the Repub licans may stamp his measures with ap proval, and then raise an issue against them afterward, If they can. And as for the public and its gratitude.

The world soon will know the definlto purposes of the United States in Its herculean efforts to bring an end to (the .srtruggle of nations by 1920. President Wilson has completed the formulation of his "Doctrine of Aid." The finished product holds out America's hand, not only to Russia, but to all the oppressed peoples under Teuton militar ism and to the embattled nations tliem oelves now and In the future. The President has decided the time has come for a recapitulation of alms In the war. The next few months will be furious ones and strong decisions must be made. There must be no doubt In the minds of nationo, however, that whatever course this country is called upon to pursue In an exigency, her ultimate purposes are to see that all na tions get a t-quare deal at the finish. As forecast, the President, in his July 4 speech at Mount Vernon, will set forth no out-and-out program of aid merely the principle upon which he will work. The means of extending help to Russia are being developed, how ever, and In some Instances already are In effect. A movement is under way to further protect Allied supplies at Kola, Russia, In view of Informationi that the Germans are moving toward the Murman coast In large numbers to "assist the Rus sians" and "afford protection against the British." Some weeks ago a small Allied force was landed to police Kola, including a handful of American sailors, which gives an American flavor to the Allied expe dition.

American troops advanced on a two-milo front west of Chateau Thierry last night to the depth of about half a mile, taking 450 prison ers and inflicting the heaviest lossss on the enemy. The American losses were extremely light. Our men took the village of Vaux Hill 192, La noche wood, and pene- iraieci uierembaut wood. The French official statement say of the action: West of Chateau-Thierry a local operation executed by Franco American troops enabled them to improve their positions on the Vaux Hill 204 front, the communing Vaux village and the helghttiio the west were taken by the Amerfc cans, who captured 200 prisoners Including five officers. Between Montdldier and Noyon and east of Rheims French troop, took prisoners in raids. German attempts near Belloy, Haute and in Alsace were repulsed by French fire. The advance was made on a front of about three kilometers (1.863 miles) and icached a maximum depth of ' a kilometer (0.621 mile).
