WOMEN MOVE
TO PLACE BAN
ON HUN GOODS
Shipment of Toys and China
From Germany Rouses
Their Ire
New York, Oct. 28.—An appeal to
the women of America to refuse to
buy goods made in Germany "wheth
er so marked or not," and particu
larly to prevent the sale in this
country of a recent large importa
tion of German manufactured toys
and china, has been issued by Eliza
beth Marbury, president of the wom
en's national committee of the
American Defense Society.
Her action followed a protest by
the New York City Federation of
Women's Clubs against the sale of
the German toys. One member sug
' gested a "Boston Tea Party" to
throw offending goods overboard
from the ship which brought them
across the Atlantic. The federation
named a committee to investigate
the importation, with a possibility of
a direct appeal to President Wilson.
Part ci the German articles which
had oeen held at Rotterdam owing
to war conditions, were abandoned
to customs officials yesterday by
Butler Brothers, an importing firm,
which bought and paid for them in
the spring of 1914 In a statement ex
plaining their refusul to accept the
shipnymt the importers asserted they
had eliminated the goods from their
catalog long ago and accepted the
loss. Declaring that American man
ufacturers had taken the Germans'
place in the toy and china market,
they declined to assist "German
propaganda designed to introduce its
product into America."
Butler Brothers feel that the
American children should have
American-made toys. They are there
fore willing to accept any loss which
may be occasioned by their refusal
of this shipment, because they feel
it will help to keep German-made
goods out of this market.
Miss Marbury's statement, which
it was said would receive wide cir
' culation through branches of the
committee throughout the country,
declared that "German militarism is
but the tool of German economic
world domination" and the only
way "to retaliate for German sav
agery'* is for the women of America
to refuse to have anything to do
with the products of the Teuton em
pire.

Coach Rudisil made a very fair
showing on Saturday with the Acad

advantage, the decision being 27-0.
At his wit's end to engage somebody
the opportunity came to tackle the
student-soldiers of old Bellaire and
Rudisil chaperoned his lads into the
lion's den. Carlisle had it on the
Academy in all-around class, and
her weight alone was enough Jo
win. Dickinson had not been cut in
a regular garnet until Saturday but
the material was there and her men
seemed to be in prime shape. For
one quarter it was 50-50, but Carlisle
was only measuring up the visitors,
and thereafter it was all one way.

CANNON PREVENTS
DEMOCRATS FROM
KILLING WAR BILL
• Republican ex-Speaker Saves
j President's Important Appro
priation Bill From Defeat
Washington, Oct. 28.—Almost on
the heels of President Wilson's ap
peal for a Democratic Congress to
back up his war policies came an
exposure of its fallacy in the House.
It came when the Republicans led
by ex-Speaker Cannon, forced the
adoptin of the big six million-dol
lar military deficiency bill while the
Democrats were endeavoring to force
an adjournment to prevent the hu
miliation of HeHin, of Alabama, who
had been successful contrary to the
House rules in having the President's
partisan appeal placed in the record
before the statement was issued.
For the sake of partisan politics,
Heflin and his Democratic associates
were willing to sacrifice the impor
j tant war measure.
If the House would combine upon
putting through the war measure,
Mr. Cannon declared, he himself
would ask that the President's pro
nouncement be placed in the record
as of the present date.
The speech of Mr. Cannon was one
of the most stirring of the war Con
gress, when the ex-Speaker urged
upon the members of the House the
necessity of supporting the men in
the trenches with true patriotism,
and without partisanship. He re
-1 minded the House that while there .
was no quorum present, because
many m%mbers hud departed to
their homes under the gentleman's
agreement reached between the
leaders, it wtts of the utmost impor
tance to take up immediately the
conference report on the military
deficiency bill, which will provide
the appropriations for the equip
ment and sustenance of the Army
j fighting in France. Consideration of
1 this measure, he told the House, was
1 being stopped by Representative
I Heflin's threat to make a point of
I no quorum.
Later when the conference report
j was adopted the President's state
i ment was incorporated in the min
utes of the day in the record.
A Sign of Weakness
Republicans and many Democrats
; believe the President's appeal to be
a serious blunder. He has injected
partisanship at a crisis of the war
and cannot complain if his chal
j lenge is accepted by political oppo-
j nents.
Leading Democratic newspapers
i declare a serious mistake has been
made. The St. Louis Globe-Demo
j crat says: "The future of America
depends upon our wise application
i of the lessons df the war to the life
! and the pursuits of peace; we can
: not agree with the President that a
j Democratic majority is essential to
j our solidarity for war, and we dis-
I tinctly disagree with him in the as
sumption that it is necessary for the
great settlement that must come aft
crwards. The tendency of President
Wilson's act will be to disrupt the
i unity of spirit that is our strength
; and pride, for no Republican can fail
! to resent its implications."
The Cincinnati Commercial-Tri-
I bune says, "He (the President) de-
I scends from the high attitude he has
held and distinctly violates the ethics
I of the situation when he attempts to
1 capitalize the patriotism of the coun
| try in war time for the partisan in-
I terests of the party to which he be
j longs." Another angle is suggested
by the Minneapolis Tribune. It says:
"Of one thing the President's ap
i peal for a Democratic Congress is
' mighty good evidence and that is
that the Democratic managers are
genuinely alarmed by the prospect
of Republican success in the con
gressional elections. We are bound
to assume, out of respect for his of
fice, that if the situation were not
serious from the Democratic stand
point, the President would not have
taken the position of rank partisan
ship which this note exhibits."
Democratic eaiftiidates all. over
the country, it is believed, will suf
fer as a result of the unprecedented
Presidential move. A half-hearted
campaign immediately takes on high
energy and the Republican slogan
will be henceforth "Unconditional
Surrender!"
Secretary of the Treasury Mc-
Adoo's letter to R. E. O'Malley, of
Kansas City, urging election of ex-
Governor Joseph W. Folk to the
United States Senate is also giving
comfort to Republicans as a further
indication of Democratic panic. His
declaration in this letter that "the
prestige and power of the President
and the Influence of America in this
war would be irretrievably hurt if
the President should be repud(pted
at the forthcoming election by the
return of a majority, against him in
either or both Houses of the Na
tional Congress" is cited as further
evidence of the partisan scheming of
the administration under the lead of
the President.

In its first major operation against
the Germarfb, considering the clear

local affair, the American army in a
few days less than a month has lib
lerated more than forty-five villages
'and advanced to an average depth
|of ten miles of territory. In the ot
jfensive the Americans have captured
[more than 20,000 prisoners.
The Americans attacked on a
I front of twenty miles from the Ar
igonne to the Meuse and the advance
! has made in the face of al
most insurmountable difficulties,
due particularly to the nature of the
ground which is covered with fiills,
deep ravines and woods. In addi
tion the Americans had fronting
them four organize dkystems of
trenches the Hindenburg line, the
Hagen position, the Kolker position
and the Kremhild posit.oni They
have forced .heir way through all
these lines. Ahead of them lies the
Freya position, which has been
reached at one point in the region
of th Bantheville wood.
The advance has ben particularly
difficult because the Germans have
stubbornly resisted every foot of the
way and have used more than thirty
three divisions on the twenty-mile
front. The enemy continues to
giake a formidable effort to hold this
front in order to protect his great
lateral line of communication run

should the Germans lose it, they

indicate that any great number of
school children have been afflicted
with the disease, nevertheless it has
been'found that children are pecu
liarly susceptible to it.
Dr. Royer suggests that local
health boards throughout the state
make a census of each school
district and onjy open such schools
where at least two-thirds of the
pupils come from homes havitig no
one sick from influenza within ten
days. Dr. Royer further urges that
due consideration be given to the
fact that a great majority of the

"A COTTON BELT CANDIDATE"
Philadelphia 'North American\ Believes Leiby Would
Be Easily Handled By Southern Democrats, Who
Fix a Low Price For Wheat But Boost Cotton
to the Sky Congressman Focht Has
Always Stood By the Farmers
From the Phila. "North American," October 20. v
Opponents of Congressman "Benny" Focht, who would
like to see him defeated, are not at all pleased with the selec
tion made by the Democratic State Committee's executive
committee and they say that Senator Scott Leiby would be
little improvement on Focht, as far as representation at
Washington ik concerned.
Senator Leiby is one of the most faithful of the Palmer-*
McCormick "me too" Democrats. He is belled, so that the
Palmer-McCormick state committee and Secretary Warren
VanDyke tan locate him at any time. If he were to go to
Washington he would likely be every bit as easily handled as
though he were from the cotton belt, but wouldn't be able to
get nearly so much for his constituency as the cotton belt
statesmen. . ,
As a State Senator, Leiby's chief claims to distinction lay
in the fact that he voted dry when occasion arose to vote wet
or dry and that he was one the very few McCorraick-Palmer
Democrats in the Senate. He began his campaign against
Focht a couple of weeks ago by declaring that Focht had no
patriotic record. To this Focht retorted that Leiby seems to
have no military medals, and that the Army is in need of men
such as Leiby asserts he is. Focht suggested that Leiby
enlist. Leiby had no reply to make, at least not in the paid
advertisements.
Leiby lives in Marysville and makes his living in Harris
burg, where he practices law. He will probably serve in the
Legislature during the coming session instead of going to
Congress.

parochial schools throughout the
state have been working day and
night assisting in the care of influ
enza sufferers. He asks that at leust
a full of time be given these
• loyal helpers to rest and recuperate
before resuming their school duties.
Dr. Royer believes that it would
be a great mistake, where the
schools have been closed, to open
them hurriedly without knowing that
children coming to school come from
homes free from infection, at least
a week or ten days. Also it is
feared that thousands of teachers,
who have been acting as volunteer
nurses may for a short time be
carriers of the disease.
Children have not sickened ac
cording to reports from a number of
authorities, in the same proportion
as adults, and yet in one state insti
tution with ttvo hundred children
of school age 75 sickened and two
have died. Dr. Royer is anxious to
avoid danger to children by delay
fng the opening of schools at least
a week after new cases develop. It
is not fully appreciated by the pub
lic nor is it fully appreciated by the
school authorities that thousands of
parents have been keeping their
children on their own premises and
away from any known source of
danger during the time drastic re
strictions have been imposed on
account of the influenza epidemic.
