Consternation broke loose in East Chicago politics last night -when it bourne known that one of tha present high city officials had attempted to use the wet and dry Issue as a. club to drive voters ut of the republican party in the coming city election. The report Is current on the streets and is said to be told by members who were present at the time that at an open meeting of tha Saloonkeepers' as-

soctation in this city, held a few nights go, this democratic city official, fleeted on the citizens ticket four yesrs ago. said in a speech (riven on that occasion that the republican party as such was responsible for the law which g'"es into effect April 1. making the state dry; that because this republican party had taken the bread from the mouths of the saloon keepers of this city, it wrs therefore their duty as well as privilege to vote a straight democratic ticket In the coraing election. The facts are so well known among intelligent voters that it was nut thought that any attempt would b- made in municipal politics this fall to inject this matter into politics as an issue. The statement alleged to have been made was nailed to the cross last night at the opening meeting of the B'.ast Chicago republican campaign at Columbia hall. Calumet, where "Abe Ottenhelmer not only deplored the tactics that had apparently been used but denied In toto the truth of the statement. In order to obtain Incont to erlable facts in this matter. Senator ,Mms N'edjl of AVhiting, had been asked to appear and speak at this meeting. The senator said that the wet and dry issue in this state was not and never had been a well denned political isue; that democrats and republ'cana oted side by side on this question when it was before the assembly; that in the senate for example thore were twenty-five democrats and twenty-five republicans and that the vote in that tody was baily split. The senator affirmed that whatever praise or blame might be attached to the passage of the dry bill, it could not justly be laid at the door of either of the old political parties. The meeting at Calumet was a real replica of the old-time national campaign republican rallies. Columbia hall was filled to its capacity with men and women earnestly seeking for light on municipal matters and anxious for an opportunity to express their conf.dnce in the republican municipal line-up. The meeting was in direct charge of J. K. Reppa rs chairman in the absence of City Chairman X. A. Hembroff. Interesting talks were made by Mr. Reppa. Joe Meade, Dr. R. Johns, IV. O. Harmon. H. M. Cohen, T. Y. Richards, John Tenkley, and by Mayoralty Candi

date Leo McCormack, who emphasized a number of the planks in his jilat f orin. The bnnd rendered some very excellent music and Jlmmie Johnstone wan there with his Jokes and campaign songs. The meeting was all that the republicans could possibly ns'.i for and constituted a very auspicious opening for a memorable and most successful campaign.

riTTSnrR-;H. Oct. 5 "When th war is over the eight -hour day will be established in the steel Industry of this country." said frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of labor. in an address before an audience of union men yesterday afternoon In the Union Labor Temple. He declared that It was not disloyalty to resort to strikes to obtain stadardixed conditions at. thin time, and asserted that, on the contrary, it was disloyalty to the government on the part of the industries engaged on

! contracts for the government to ob

struct in any way the enforcement of the shorter working day basis. I&inta4a Standard. Mr. Morrison referred to the conference called by President Wilson of all the presidents of national labor unions, headed by Samuel Gompers, to discuss the part of labor in the event of war. Mr. Morrison said a committee whs appointed, composed of five members representing labor organizations and many representatives of the employers of la-

i bor for the purpose of assisting in the

mobilization of labor and the adjustment of disputes. He stated that a report was issued declaring that during the war the standards established by organized Inbor should be maintained. He said that when this declaration was issued the impression was formed that organized labor had taken the stand that there should be no strikes, and he said he reslred to correct that misunderstanding. Out at Pittsburgh. "The American Federation of Labor stands behind President Wilson for the purrose of carrying the war through to victory, but we do not propose unnecessarily to sacrifice the members of labor to help make profit for the great manufacturers." Mr. Morrison continued. "The steel industry can afford to work on an

eight-hour basis and can afford to grant proper working conditions. It will require a readjustment but will not suffer financially. Some few may lose a dividend or two, but 160,000 will benefit." Leaders conducting the strike of Jones & Laughlln workers were in conference yesterday with Mr. Morrison of the American Federation of Labor. Developments In the situation are expected today, when the 10 per cent raise granted by the company became effective. It is claimed by the strikers that contracts for the government are being seriously retarded.

(Special to Thh Time- ) WHITING. IND., Oct C The following most Interesting loiter has been received from the French front by Senator and Mrs. F. .v. c;Vit of this r-ity: Tuesday. August 28, 1317. Dear Clarence: Half an hour ego I started to write you but got no further than the first line when our Lieutenant came and broke the pleasant news that my car had a flat tir. Now that the French Micbelfn is replaced with an

Goodrich. I am starting again on vour' Ipllcr " I

Todey is quiet and cold. Now that the French have in four days recovered positions that the Boche were six months in cap.uring. our hardest work is over and instead of all being on duty all the time only six of our. twenty are working now. r go out again tonight after twenty-four hours of rest. It has been a great week for the French. They have pushed the Germans back about two miles on m eleven mile front. They have taken positions that wll make it easy to drive the Boche back further. They have grabbed off over nine thousand prisoners and best of all, the French losses ire slight. I do not know how many hours I have been on duty Utely, but I think I have averaged about eighteen of work out of every twenty-four hours during the last week. My schedule, along with that of four other fellows, hs bet;n a little suffer than that of the others, but everyone has worked mighty h;trd. One twenty-four hours, the COth and 21st of August, we carried seven hundred and sixty wounded. th record for the American Ambulance. We have been very lucky, not one of our drivers has been injured. (Some of us got a little too much gas one night) but over half of our cars, mine included. have been scratched up by flying chunks of shells. Other ambulances working the same

post as we. have had cars wrecked and drivers injured, but so far we hnve come

through without an accident. I thought I'd had close escapes before but lately I have found out how cloe one can bt? to a bursting shell and still get away whole-skin. The other day I was standing in the doorway of an abria when the well known whizz-z-bang came. Th; shell had corns in about fifty yards away, right where a bunch of officers were standing. One dashed young Gavit, along with a couple of Frenchmen, to tlrag in the wounded. We got part way when another shell came Closer. We heard the whizz in time and fell flat. A horse about ten feet away from me vas killed, and a Frenchman who did net fall down in time was pretty badly nu.ngled up. We got hold of him and just as we got to the abria a third present came from the Boche. this time not ov'jr twenty-five feet away. "We all dropped flat, wounded man and a!, and although stones and dirt fell all over us, no one was hurt. I thought I was just about killed, my ears rung, my heart was 1 nocking off about three hundred thumps a minute, and I had blood on my puttees. (This turned out to be from the wounded fellow). We got inside and stayed there until they got the wounded ones bandaged up. Then I got my car backed around in record time, got it loaded, and dashed oft at about ten miles er hour more than a Ford had ever before gone. One of the wounded I had. died just after T i ,

I have tried to get into the aviation but haven't had any luck, and so I am planning to come home, loaf around until after the holidays, and then try to get in some service of the United States army. Ferhas the war will be over this year. I don't know. But if it is, I can go on with the studies In January. That Is what I am hoping for, but then I have hoped for lots of things I have never got. Life here Is monotonous, even with the adventure element thrown in. Sleep a little, eat food that you would stick up your nose at home, drive a jerky Ford over rough, crowded roads that are under German fire too often to be comfortable, and worst of all. you see death and suffering all the time and get so hardened to it that you loose all your better thoughts and become a brute, wanting to kill, kill, all the time. You

sit by unarmed and see
