Big employers aro urged to aid the workers during tho winter months by putting employes on half-pay, Instead of rutting their forces In two, If business conditions mako any reductions neces sary. They are further urged to give preference to married men, or those sup porting dependents, If lopping names off tho pay roll becomes necessary. Department atoies nnd factories em ploying girls are asked to retain girls who must support themselves In prefer ence to those who are seeking work to earn "pin monpy." The situation among tho working girls, the commission de clared, demands particular attention. As tho first step In carrying out this programme, the commission suggested that all big employers subii,,, "jreful es timates of the number of employes they believe they must dlschnrgo January 1, It they are convinced reductions In work ing forces must bo made. With this data on hand, tho commission proposes to es tablish a municipal employment ex change, and mnkp Immcdl.itc effoits to secure work for perons who may find themselves without Jobs during the win ter.

Nlles, of York, long prom inently Identified with Independent po litical movement, who declared that ho would support the Democratic ticket for the first time.

EVENING M'NICHOLANDVAREOFFTO KENTUCKY RACES TOGETHER Politicians Think They May Decide on Dark Horse for Mayor. Politicians along tho Itlalto said to day that they were somewhat mystified by tho actions of Senator McNIchol and Senator Vnro. They saw tho two leaders Jump Into an automobile In front of tho Lincoln Building nnd start .ostensibly on a long auto trip. This action of the two Senators, who, not tong ago, woro trying to effect each other's decapitation, started tongues wagging. But ordinary surprise turned to amusement when It was learned that the automobile, after swerving around City irall, stopped at Broad Street Sta tion. There tho two nirn lumned out nnd lan hurriedly up the steps of tho Market street entrance. It was noticed, too, that they carried their own grips. Subsequently It was learned by nn In quisitive politician that the two leaders boarded a train for Lexington, Ky. Those of prophetic turn of mind soy that while the Senators will see the races at Lexington nnd may hnvo tho pleasure of seeing n McNIehol thoroughbred come first under the wire, tho real object of their trip Is to pick a dark horso for the mayoralty nomination. No matter what' rendezvous thoy selected In the past, even though It wcro n hundred miles from Philadelphia, Information always camo out about their meetings. So, en a rushing railroad train, with comfortable surroundings, they enn talk and plan In peace. Upon their return tho politicians on tho inside expect to receive word to get busy, LITTLE BEFOGGED POSITION OF BRUMBAUGH AND PENROSE Bev. R. W. Miller Gives Different Version of Conference.

Doctor Brumbit.gh's refusal to do this Jlr. Little Interpreted no proof that ho 'wib In alliance with Penrose. Doctor Miller agrees that pait of what Mr. Little said was true, but In some of the statements, he says, Mr. Little be foggpd the position of Doctor Brumbaugh. Doctor Miller says thut Doctor Brum baugh Is unbosscd, anil that In- Is a man who will stand on his own feet, and that thrro was nothing brought out at the conference In the Bcllevuc-Stratfoul to Indicate that ho was tied to Cenrose.

PINCH0T AT WILKES-BARRE Calls Penrose an Economic as Well as Moral Issue.' WILKEJs-BARRn, Pa., Oct. 7. Glfford Pinchot.

Rosscr, former county chairman. Ho re mained here until 10 o'clock this morn ing, nnd several of the Progressives again visited him. He left for Scranton. In a statement issued here, Pinchot said: "You can quote me as saying that Pen rose is an economic as well as a moral Issue. This is something higher than a party fight. Penrose, more than any other political figure, represents that mngnato system of government which serves the corporations rather than the people, both at Harrlsburg and at Wash ington, which we have been fighting for years, and Pennsylvania cannot hope to secure advanced legislation of benefit to the poople until Penrose Is defeated " Higardlng the registration In Philadel phia. Pinchot said- "The registration figures are one of the most favorable things that have occurred us yet In the campaign, because they show that the antl-Penroa enrolment Is on the increase, especially In Philadel phia Again. I think that proportionately when the registration Is compared with the vote as shown in former Philadelphia elections, the machine majority vote in Philadelphia has been so cut down that with the admitted majority in other parts the State I feel certain of winning" TTCTmER-PHlLADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, OQTOBtiK UNCLE SAM IS CHEF FOR POOR AUSTRIANS STRANDED IN LONDON Embassy Conducts Cafe for Emperor Joseph's Subjects Only, and 2000 Had Gou lash Free Last Week.

MUSTOPPOSE PIRATICAL BRITISH, SAYS BERLIN PAPER American-German Trade Will Be Wiped Out Un less Security Is Provided, It Adds. BERLIN. Oct. 7. Tho newspaper Vosslcho Zeltung In dis cussing the effect of the war upon Ameri can commerce calls upon the United States to provide safeguards for United States trade with Germany so that It may not be wiped out. The newspaper says: "The returns of enmmerco of the Unit ed Slates for August show how far com morco Is affected by the war, or better, ty tho English mothods of warfare. Tho American Importations amounted to $120. 3!'9.fKKl against $137,631,000 In August, 1013. The decrease was only $8,000,000, but the eportatlons fell off from JISO.900,000 to $nO,33S,000, this decrcaso being $77,500,000 or 40 per cent. Tho balance wns changed from surplus exportatlons of 150,000,000 In August, 1013, to the present surplus of $10,000,000 In Importations The result for American trado Is dangerous on account of tho damago to producers. For In stance, take tho caso of cotton In the United States. By the stagnation of ex ports the normal balnnco of trade has boen upset. America needs a surplus of exportation, not Importation. "Germany buys from America goods worth about $1,500,000,000 every year nnd would continue to tnko the greater part of these exportatlons in war time if pri vate property enjoyed tho suine protection In nnval warfare It does on land. "England has resisted such a rule (pro x Idlng for safe commerce) and constant ly Is violating tho international laws of naval warfare. Tho English press Is en deavoring to sot tho blame for this dam ago to commerce upon the German Em peror, the so-called 'War Lord.' In fact though the Americans enn thank the Brit ish 'pirates' for tho Injuries suffered. Tho only remedy for America to preserve tho greater part of her necessary commerce wiin ucrmany and to restoro tho balance of trado is to create security against tho piratical ways of England." 150,000 LEFT TO RELATIVES Will of Miss Rebecca Gibson Admit ted to Probate Today.

AUTOS JOIN GUNS IN GRII SYMPHONY ON BATTLEFIELDS Paradise Slain Warriors' Lot, Belief of Sengalese, Idol of the French Troops. r By WILLIAM O. SHEPHERD' SOISSONS, Oct. 7. For five days a photographer and myself have eat In this llttlo town waiting. Wo nre at the battle front because we stum bled on It. I did not know that I was at tho front until Informed by a French "We'll go back," wo explained. "Wo don't want to go to the front." "But you ore nt tho front now," tho officers explained. "You can't go back now. You will have to stay hero until the tactical situation has chnnged." And here we must stny, pledged not to reveal the namo of tho town or nny de tails of the lighting. Day nfter day, hour after hour, nutomoblles have been passing the little house where I live, en routo to ono quarter of tho battlficld or nnother. Thoy enrry soldiers to tho front and bring back dead nnd wounded. They transport supplies, food and ammunition. And above all, this nolso nnd distraction tho pitiless, persistent roar of cannon con tinues, always, without Intermission . "When the facts aro known nbout this battle," said nn oinccr to me, "It will go down In history as tho most terrific and costly artillery duel that human beings have over fought." The scenes about here almost defy de scription. A priest has Just led four men, caught pilfering from dead bodies on the battlefield, to tho place whero they are to bo shot. A hugo Gorman, a magnifi cent specimen of manhood, who camo Into tho French lines as a spy becauso his olllcers were desperately In need of In formation as to the position of French troops, has Just been nrrcsted. How he ever expected to got his information back to hfs chiefs I cannot lm.tginc. As I looked at him I realized how much moro bravo a spy must be than an ordinary soldier. I think ho must have resign', himself to a spy's death before ho left tho Gorman lines, because, when ho was held up aro street corner, ho looked over tho heads of his captora as If ho were only nn onlooker. "He'll cuddlo up at the foot of a stono wall pretty soon," said a soldier. The Jlttle boys of tho town fight bat tles themselves, using chestnuts as am munition. They throw tho big nuts with all of their stiongth. nnd I have seen them throw stones In their excitement. Ono llttlo fellow fought with his scalp laid open. Tho wnr game has hypnotized them. Their Idols nro tho black Songa- leso troops. Thoy know that a Sengalese would rather dlo In battle than In bed because ho bollovcs that tho best corner of heaven Is saved for the men who are killed In action. Tho French officers ngreo with the boys In their liking. "I wish I could believe about heaven as they do," one said to me. Stumbling on tho front is really no fun. It makes every one angry, although you sco nothing. But tho olllcers tell you that you are going to run away nnd tell the Germans what you have seen. I don't know any Germans at II over here. The officers told me there was a military movement nnd I saw troops mov ing. But If I did get hold of n Ocrman who would listen to mo all I could tell him would be that I had see some sol diers, and I'm sure that tho Germans know by this time that there aro such things as French and English soldiers.
