TO STRIP MASK FROM TRAITORS WE SHALL strip the mask from those who, in the name of democracy, antimilitarism and peace, are engaged in the nefarious propaganda of treachery to all that these noble words represent. We indignantly repudiate the claim that this propaganda—which, be it remembered, brings joy and comfort to German autocracy—has the support of the labor movement of America. Not even at the behest of the so-called People's Council will the organized workers of America prostitute the labor movement to serve the brutal power responsible for the infamous rape of Belgium—the power that would subject Russia to a worse despotism than that of the Romanoffs. From the declaration of principles read to the American Alliance for Labor and Democracy at its opening session in Minneapolis yesterday. LABOR PLEDGES LOYALTY TO U. S. [Continued from First Page.] Jermany just now was declared to >e traitorous to the United States by ■amuel Gompers. Frank P. Walsh, temporary chair nan of the convention, aroused en husiasm when he declared that no •olitical party cult or propaganda rould be permitted to use the or anization, but that behind our great eader in Washington we will "sweep ur armies in a victorious peace." "It shall be our task," Mr. Gom icrs said, "to interpret America's lemocratic spirit and purpose in his conflict to our fellow workers, specially those of foreign birth, o combat every form of propaganda, o matter by whom it may be car ied on. which tends to weaken the oyalty and devotion of the masses nd their willingness to strive and scriflce for the nation and its high urpose." Ix>yal to Nation The complete declaration of prin iples as announced by Mr. Gompers s as follows: "As believers in the great and plendid vision of democracy and in ernationalism. the fraternalsm and olidarity of all peoples, we assert at his time our unqualified loyalty to he Republic of the United States of America and our determination to do ill that lies in our power to win the rar in which It is engaged. "Loyalty to the ideals of freedom, lemocracy and internationalism re luires loyalty to America. "Disloyalty to America in this tisis is disloyalty to the cause of reedom. democracy and inter lationalism. "No national selfishness impelled his republic to enter the war. The mpelllng motive was the consuming dealism born with the establishment f this republic itself to preserve reedom. not only for Itself, hut for .11 nations, great and small, and the ody of international law which all he free, democratic nations of the k-orlcl respect and observe, and only he brutal autocracies seek to dis onor and destroy. Freemen's War "In such a conflict real standard ears of democracy and true >nter ationalists can have no hesitation ii supporting our republic, which lias nade its own the cause and interest f all free peoples. It is therefore h truth not a 'capitalists' war, but a reemen's war. "Fully impressed by these facts, eallzing that a noble international ism is implicit In our American con eption of national existence, it shall ie our purpose to bring to the sup iort of the government all the moral nd material power of the nation, t shall be our task to interpret imerica's democratic spirit and pur iOse in this conflict to our fellow- I'orkers, especially those of foreign irth. and to combat every form of propaganda, no matter by whom it nay be carried on, which tends to reaken the loyalty and devotion of he masses, and their willingness to trive and sacrifice for the nation nd its high'purposes.

PENNSYLVANIA~~BAILROAD THURSDAY EVENING, those who in the name of democracy, antimilitarism and peace are engaged in the nefarious propaganda of treachery to all that these noble words represent. We indignantly re pudiate the claim that this propa ganda—which, be it remembered — brings joy and comfort to German autocracy—has the support of the labor movement of America. Not even at the behest of the so-called people's council will the organized workers of America prostitute the labor movement to serve the brutal power responsible for the infamous rape of Belgium; the power that would subject Russia to a worse despotism than that of the Ro manoffs. "Democracy will not be checked by the victory of autocracy, by let ting the Declaration of Independence be supplnted by the kaiser's fiat. "Militarism will not be checked by surrender to the power which" has organized all the resources of civ. ilization to the end of Imposing its brutal iron rule on. the world. Shoulder to Shoulder "Peace will not bw secured to the world through the subjection of the free and democratic nations. "We shall be as loyal to the strug gle for freedom and democracy at home as to the struggle for freedom and democracy in international re lations. "To the men and women of the American labor movement, and to oil sincere friends of democracy and internationalism, we call for loyal support to America and her allies in this great struggle. Let us make our beloved republic strong and vic torious for the sake of humanity, and thus insure for our children and their children the priceless heritage of liberty and democracy. "Let us, at the same time, stand shoulder to shoulder in the fight against the foes of democracy within our own borders, resolved never to rest until the goal of democracy. In dustrial, political and international, has been attained." WEAR PAPER CLOTIIKS They had to find a substitute in Germany for woolen and cotton goods, and evolved a paper cloth. Tfie new material proves wearable and washable. The drawback at pres ent is that this "paper cloth" is rather stiff, 'but by special treat ment experts hope to produce a stuff sufficiently fint and soft to be used even for underwear. The Berlin Tageblatt devotes the best part of a column to this important revolu tion in clothes. Worßmen's clothing of strong texture can now be bought in the Berlin shops, and men's trous ers, specially impregnated to with stand rain, also are on sale. The Tageblatt says by next spring men, women and children of all classes will probably be wearing complete outfits made of the new material. BREAK SWIMMING RECORDS By .Issociatcd Press Honolulu.

Sixth Infantry. Fourth Infantry, Eighteenth Infan try, hearquarters train and military police, ammunition train. Field Hos pital No. 4." These troops can be handled here fast as they can be transported by- the railroads. Railroads Ready All railroads that will have a part in the handling of troops have made extensive plans for the departure ot the vast army of men. Superinten dent White, of the Baltimore and Ohio, said yesterday in an Interview: "We were giyen special instructions by our president, Daniel Willard, to subordinate everything to the move ment of troops. Many special plans have been worked out by the officials of the j-ailroad in Baltimore who re ceive instructions direct from the government officers. The government specifies the number of men who will comprise each individual movement, their destination, the amount of equipment which will be required 10 carry them end their complete outfits of horses, artillery, and other acces sories, as well as the time schedule. When we first began to handle the troops during the Mexican trouble, every man was given special instruc tions as to what his duties were to be whenever an order was received to move troops on short notice. All increased responsibility was placed upon each official and employe and whenever the work entailed addi tional assistance we put more men in that particular office or depart ment. "The handling of the troops is really an expension of the ordinary system under which we run our trains in normal times. No large plans have been necessary which en tailed any change in our system. It has rather been the working out of a great many smaller details, which involved a more accurate supervis ion because of the peculiar import ance and nature of carrying the country's lighting forces. "As an example, we inspect all troop trains with especial care, both the cars and the locomotives. Ar rangements are made to water them and place Ice in them while they are standing on the siding. A transpor tation officer of the railroad company always accompanies each train to its destination. A troop train is given the right of way at all times, al though the rate of speed must insure Ihe minimum possibility of accident. We are not responsible for the men themselves while they are stopping over at a sthtion. They carry their own food arid cooking car. "We submit to the wishes of the troops' commanding officer when ever possible. This was of Mr. Willard's specific instructions. All we ask of him is to tell us what he wants us to do. The greatest trouble we have is to get them to tell us when they will be able to leave. If they want a little more time than tliey thought they needed we'll put them on a siding until they're ready to continue their journey. If the commanding officer wants us to stop where the men can take a swim in some river, then we'll pull up at the nearest town. The wish of the military is the controlling thing with u are but meager basis for conclusions. At Pittsburgh there has been no | duplication of the sales in steel ma king pig iron, which in the last week | of August showed a softening mar ! ket, but offers of resale billets and J slabs at S7O as against SIOO in July are ample comment on the disap pearance of competitive buying of shell steel for Europe. The August pfg iron statistics em phasize again the little success of I blast furnace operators in the face | of coke scarcity. The output was 3,- 1 ] 247.947 tons, br 104.772 tons a day, i against 3,342,438 tons in July, or !! 107,520 tons a day. New modern blast furnaces were started last month at five steel plants—Midvale. Bethlehem. Ddnner, Republic and Whitaker-Glessner—yet with all this i reinforcement production declines. Many furnaces were banked for days at a time for lack of coke.

Killing granting I what was asked] wut I in the complaint of the borouKh of Factoryvllle, a Wy- I oming county town, against tho Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad. Ther railroad relocated Its line- and established a new station some distance away from the old one, giving freight service once a day for carload lots. The railroad is directed to provide a "reasonable less than carload lot service" in ad dition to the present one. In regard to the war conditions the opinion says: "The commission can not be unmindful of tho present abnormal conditions and the extent to which they affect railroad com panies. Tho several agencies co operating with the federal govern ment in the conduct of the war have called the attention of Public Ser vice Commissions to the great de mand now being made upon rail road companies and that they have been urged to curtail their train service to better meet the demands of the nation. We are all called upon to accept as our patriotic duty certain inconveniences or burdens which the war conditions have im posed. On account of these condi tions commissions feel constrained at this time to make orders relating to such matters as are considered in this report, which if made under normal conditions might be varied."

Medical men made a most Im portant discovery in the treatment of stomach troubles when they found that practically every case of indigestion and dyspepsia was caused by the presence in the stomach of "too much acid." By using ordinary blsurated magnesia to neutralize this acid and sweeten the stomach the food di gested naturally without causing trouble and digestive aids, like pepsin, etc., were no longer neces sary. Bisurated Magnesia is a special form of refined magnesia which highway officials regarding work of the department.

It does not digest food like pepsin but instead neutralizes or transforms the poisonous bit ing acid that has formed in your stomach and is causing you mis ery. Your digestive machinery, relieved of the hampering acid ac cumulation does its work without trouble. So remarkable is the action of bisurated magnesia in stopping stomach distress that as a rule the worst pain, burning or sour sensation will vanish within live minutes from the time it reaches the stomach. Anv dys peptic or stomach sufferer can prove this easily with a single trial and with perfect safety as bisurated magnesia is harmless and in this form is not a laxative. Get a little Bisurated Magnesia from G. A. Gorgas or any drug gist and try it at your very next meal anil forget all fear of indi- I gestion. 9
