6 SEE HUGHES VICTORY WITHOUT EVEN BREAK IN DOUBTFUL STATES New Tork, Oct. 28.-—Wilson has the Troth; Hughes has tho votes. The apathy of the present campaign exists largely In ths minds of the poli ticians. These conclusions are Inevitable after the most casual discussion among busi nessmen and workinguien In New York. Only the politicians are apathetic. The businessmen on the contrary are "worked up to a high pitch of Interest In the forthcoming election. So are the ■workingmen. The latW are not all for Wilson by a jugful. Nor are the busi nessmen unanimous for Hughes, al though eight out of ten are going to vote for him on the ground that he "would make u better president. Confusion comes only from talking to the politicians and campaign managers. Both Chairman McCormlck, of the Democratic National Committee, and Chairman Willco.x, of the Republican National Committee, are confident. Each side make large claims. Which side deserves the greater credence can be judged from the fact that Mr. Will cox claims no Southern State for Mr. Hughes, while McCormlck claims Penn sylvania for Mr. Wilson. Party Lines I.oosening; Reports have been received at both headquarters Indicating a loosening of party lines. Tho Republican reports show some defection frorti the Republi can ranks for Wilson: the Democratic reports show some defection from the Democratic, ranks for Hughes. Getting down to cases the Democrats re relying almost entirely upon the labor vote to re-elect Wilson. This lias been the one soft spot In the Republican campaign. President Wilson and the Democratic Congress surrendered to the railway brotherhoods and gave them the ■wage Increase they demanded. In tha last few days however, there have been evidences that even organ ized labor, of which there are about 3.000,000, In comparison with about 18,- 000,000 not organized, is resisting pres sure from its own leaders. But laboring men are able to think out problems for themselves. There has never been a time in the history of the country when the labor vote has been delivered en bloc to any political party. There are Republican laborlngmen and Democratic laboring men. There is a growing conviction that they will stick to their parties. l.abor Turns to I.argrr Issues Senator Boies Penrose, of Pennsyl vania, and Senator Weeks, of Massa chusetts. two of the seasoned leaders on the Republican side, lately have been devoting considerable attention to the labor situation and they find that NO PEACE UNTIL U.S. IS PREPARED—HUGHES Newark. N. J., Oct. 28. Charles E. Hughes told an audience of farm ers here late to-day that America tould have neither peace nor security vintil she was prepared to maintain unflinchingly the known rights of her citizens on land and sea. "Our opponents have told us in very explicit terms," he said, "that the constitutional rights of American citizens should follow them through out the world and that wherever they were lawfully following their business they should have full protection for their lives and property. That prin ciple I believe in, but performance ias not matched promises. "We shall have no peace, no secur ity, unless we maintain our self re epect, unless we have the esteem and friendship of all nations, unless the American flag means justice, cour teous treatment, but firm and un flinching insistence upon American rights with respect to lives, property and commerce, on land and sea throughout the world." Mr. Hughes spoke in the little opera house. Scores of farmers arrived too late to find room in the building. The candidate assailed the Demo cratic party as one "of broken prom ises," citing among other things, the TEUTONS PRESS CLOSER ' ON ALLIED FLANKS [Continued From First I'aso] j and Morvale regions north of the fomme. Loss of Constanza Is Hard Blow to Rumania; Cut Off From Russia Berlin, Oct. 25 (by wireless). —Com- menting on the victory of Field Mar el-.al von Mackensen's armies in the Rumanian province of Dobrudja. the military critic of the Overseas News Agency writes: "The capture of Constanza by Bul parian, German and Turkish troops under command of yield Marshall von Mackensen is the hardest blow Ru- ' i .anians have received during the en tire campaign. Through it the Ru manians have lost their largest sea port. a port noted in international trade for its shipments of grain and petroleum. Simultaneously the Ru manians lost their main line of com munication with Russia byway of the Black Sea, a loss which is bound to have a far-reaching consequence for Rumania in carrying on her military operations. "Russia has been able to send to her ally byway of Constanza in large pteamers material and men which then found their way into interior Rumania ( cn the main railroad line from Con-j stanza to • Bucharest.

Hughes said something when he re marked that the best friend of labor was tho friend of justice. They have grasped the fact that national pros perity is essential to Individual pros perity: that the present low tarllT law Invited and brought n flood of Imports before the war and that It will leave Industry and wages unprotected ufter the war. "He kept us out of the war" makes ,no social appeal to the workingnian. The latter knows that no president in ] the history of the country ever wanted . to go to war; that Charles E. Hughes is more likely to preserve peace with the firm foreign policy he favors than is President Wilson with his ever changing policy. There Is no Issue between peace and war; there is an Issue between a policy that will protect American lives and property abroad and policy that boldly declares that protection ends at the v. ater's edge. There Is an Issue between an Ameri can market at the mercy of the highly j organised nations of Europe after the war and and American market amply | protected and safeguarded by a tariff J that will equal the cost of production J at home and abroad. Questions Kr the Voters It has lately been made plain to the laborlngmen of the country as well as the businessmen that the choice now Is between an inefficient administration and an efficient administration: between a tariff for revenue only which produces insufficient revenue and a tariff which will protect Industry and wages; be t.veen heavy taxation antf freedom from taxation; between national weakness and vaccilation and national strength and resolute honor. Senator Penrose said to-day that as matters now stand the only way Wilson could be re-elected would be by captur ing New Tork. And not even the Democrats expect to do this.. Right here where all the political prophets assemble it Is curious to note that while the Democrats claim every thing- else they admit that it looks pretty bad for them in New York. If they were to assemble in any other State they probably would And the same condition, because while Wilson has the froth—while the greatest noise is made on the Democratic side In this campaign—Hughes, as shown In the registration and primaries, has the votes. alleged failures to observe the merit system in making appointments and to reduce the high cost of living. "Our opponents told us they were sOing to reduce the high cost of liv ing," he said. "We now have the higher cost of living. They have had a certain policy to which for gener ations they have adhered. I do not regard it as American policy. It is very obviously unsuited to the econ omic needs at this time. "We have now a temporary pros i perity due to the abnormal conditions ! brought about by European war. But [what are the conditions we have had? lls it possible that we can now forget the conditions that existed In this I country before the war? Consider tlie business depression before the war. , consider the serious condition with j respect to many enterprises through out this country. Plants were closed, others were on reduced time, thou i sands of men were walking the streets i of our large cities looking for work. ( It was a day of soup houses." Mr. Hughes declared that to pre j vent a "repetition" of business depres | sion when the war ends it would be I found necessary to apply "the sound | Republican doctrine of protection to American industries." loss of Constanza is of decisive impor tance as regards the military situation in Dobrudja. The railroad line from Corstanza to Tchernavoda is already partly in the hands of the allied Ger mans. Turks and Bulgarians. East of Murfatlar this line has already been crossed by the attacking armies and \on Mackensen's left wing is ap proaching the Tchernavoda. For these reasons the section of the railroad be tween Murfatlar and Tchernavoda is also apparently without value to the Rumanians. Thus the quick transport of troops and artillery to especially threatened points of the Dobrudja front is rendered impossible. Further more, an excellent base of operations lias been taken from the Rumanians and Russians. "The encircling movement by Teu tonic forces at Hermannstadt changed the Transylvania adventure of the Ru manians into a speedy and complete defeat. In the same way ther capture of Constanza and the interruption of railroad, communication of the Ru irisnians constitutes a decisive blow to ihetn in the Dobrudja theater. The advance planned by the Rumanians and Russians through Dobrudja against the Bulgarians and the line of com munication between Sofia and Con stantinople has thus been frust/ated."

The men went at their work in almost a holiday spirit, for it Is with a sense of deep relief that the Germans and Hungarians here, officers and men alike, have left be hind them the trench warfare of other regions and thrown themselves into open field maneuvers against the Ru manians. It was scarcely believable that after 1 two years of strenuous life at the front infantrymen should rush to the as | sault with songs, yet it is a fact, to j which the universal feeling here of ' dealing with a foe who has yet to learn every trick of modern warfare contri butes much. German and Hungarian infantrymen were about to j rush into th fire of Rumanian rifles | and machine guns they viewed the : situation complacently saying the j worst of open Held work was prefer- I able to trench drudgery. Officers ex | plained that the change virtually j would make the troops fresh forces, owing to the novelty and the face that j the central powers troops are best suited for maneuvering because of their training along that line. Followed By Fire The Predeal battle is one of the few open field actions witnessed in this j war by correspondents who were able Ito approach within less than 3,000 i yards of the skirmishing line. At 11 ■ a. m. German artillery opened a desul tory fire on the Rumanian trenches on ' Susaiul mountain. 6.000 feet high, which an hour later reached its max \ imum fury. The fire was then directed 1 mainly against the trenches some 500 : feet below the summit. For a quarter of an hour the Rumanians stuck to j their trenches. Word coming from the artillery spotters that the Ru i manians thus far seemingly had not I oeen impressed, the artillery increased j its lire. The Rumanian infantry still [held on for a time, but finally broke TVcross the slope like a swarm of ants as the German and Hungarian infan i try came ill view. General artillery | followed up the fleeing Rumanians with shrapnel and the manner in which the fire pursued the Rumanians appeared almost uncanny, j On a ridge leading from Susaiul • mountain the Rumanians finally reach iod their second position. A lull en : sued. A few minutes before 2 to. m. ;it was decided to resume operations. German artillery ably supported by i the work of the morning and the. in j fantry then rushed forward. In a I comparatively short time the objective was gained. I The ground being extremely difficult j the Rumanians endeavored to forward I infantry reinforcements through the i town of Predeal. with the result that | heavy German and Hungarian guns i inside of fifteen minutes blew up half !of the town. The Russian forces were ; obliged to seek shelter in the forest ■above the town, passing through Ger man infantry fire at long range. The Predeal battle was not remark able for severity or artillery fire or i other action; but great interest centers | in it because German and Hungarian ; infantry, unaccustomed to mountain j fighting was able to cope with the dif- I Acuities of the terrain. I ack .Military Knowledge The Rumanians on the other hand ! showed lack of military knowledge. ; The efficiency of tlieir troops suffered I because much of the artillery had been j taken out of range for fear of being [ cut off. The Rumanian artillery i therefore made an unusually poor showing. The Rumanian infantry d'd relatively better but it was at the mer cy of the murderous German And Hungarian shells. ~ •j I NORWEGIAN SUNK London. Oct. 2S.

The principal experts who spoke were Dr. Owen Copp, of the Pennsyl vania Hospital for the Insane: Dr. H. W. Mitchell, superinendent of the Warren State Hospital, and Director Wilmer Kruscn, of the Department of Public Health and Charities. "The people of Pennsylvania are evading their responsibility." Dr. Copp stated. "The State Legislature is evading it. By evading State duty, the Legislature thinks it is sa\ing money, when in truth the county system is losing double what the Legislature imagines is being saved. The politi cians at Harrisburg will be sympathe tic and daiieroifc as soon as the public conscious ia awakened to the waste fulness .md wretchedness of the pres ent neglect resulting from split-up re sponsibility."

USE CARE BUYING CHILDREN'S SHOES Should Never Be Purchased by Arbitrary Standard Sizes "Children's shoes should never be : bought by the arbitrary size standard j set by the makers, that all children i of so many years have feet of such 1 a size," says Mrs. Jean Kane Foulke, j farm adviser on home economics for the State Department of Agriculture | in a bulletin for farmers' families just issued at the State Capitol. "The size : of a child's foot may vary quite as ! much in prooprtion to the child, as j one child may vary in size from an- I other of the same age. ! "The number of years a child has ! lived has nothing to do with the size \of its feet and it is no uncommon thing to find growing children with | feet grown out of all proportion to ' the rest of their bodies. Fortunately in most cases this corrects itself and I in a few years the children will de- I velop and grow in comparison with j their overgrown 'pedal extremities." ! "If children's shoes are bought ■ without being 'trted on' or no measure is taken of the foot that is to wear them, the results are bound to be disastrous. From inuncy many i children suffer from having to wear too narrow or too short shoes in | consequence! It is a great temptation when baby is 'first shortened' to put i on little white or light colored shoes. | 'The first size' of course are right and on they go: At first baby does not j mind for the little shoes are soft kid | with flexible soles and no weight is put on the tiny feet, but presently the little fellow wants to stand and walk and what then'.' The little feet have grown, the pressure of weight forces 1 them down and out and the dainty little shoes—the first size, have begun their deadly work. Baby's toes are 1 cranjped and jammed until the shoe tip gives way. Baby is cross and irritable and nobody knows why! (Did you ever wear a tight or narrow shoe?) Father comes home some eve j nlng with a new pair of shoes again, i 'Just baby's stze," of course, because the man said that was the size an eighteen months' old baby ought to ! wear. "Mistreatment continues year after I year until when the school years ar : rive heavy strong shoes are bought i; that will 'stand wear.' shoes with boxed toes and stiff unbending soles but still the 'right size" (by age) for John or Mary lo wear—result, crook -1 ed toes, corns and bunions, ingrowing toe nails, big toe joints and last, but not least, a heavy, ungraceful walk 1 and step, in nine cases out of ten. All . this and to say nothing of the results of the nervous tension and strain the child has been under, often uncon i sciously to itself but there neverthe less, because of the crowding and actual twisting of its feet. "When circumstances are such that a child cannot be taken to the store and fitted then it should be made to : stand with its weight solidly on Its ' feet in stockings or barefooted on a i sheet of paper and an outline of the ; foot should be drawn in lead pencil, ' care being taken to hold the pencil |at right angles to the foot and not allow it to slip under the curve of the | side. This will give the exact size, i J length and breadth of the child's foot and should be taken to the store and [ the size taken from it by which the shoes are bought.
