The Ameri can Federation of Labor in convention hero today adopted a resolution "invit ing and urging" unaffiliated national and international unions, such as the rail road brotherhoods, to Join the federation. The federation also went on record for a more general application of the eight hour day in all trades before beginning agitation for a six-hour day. Following Is the federation's declara tion as adopted today on the question of six-hour work day: "That we favor progressive decrease of working ' hours in keeping with the de velopment of machinery and productive forces, believing thereby that a decrease In the hours of labor will tend to a gradual elimination of the unemployed." We recommend: "1. that we strive for a more general application of the eight-hour day in all trades and occupations before commenc ing a general agitation for a six-hour work day, but in the event any national or international organisations desire to commence an agitation for a working day less than eight hours, that they be given the encouragement and moral sup port of the American u Federation at Labor. t' J,-' : "2. That the American ' Federation of Labor work unceasingly for the enact y ment of laws limiting the working hours of women and children to eight hours per day, and not more than forty-eight hours per week. "3. Where women's eight hour la.wa already exist an agitation should im mediately begin for the enactment of general eight hour laws."

LONDON, No 1". Telegraphing from Petrograd under daW of Monday evening, the correspondent of the Dally Mall thus sums up the situation on the Russian front: "T!i Germans at the present moment are experiencing the ruth of the homely proverb that You cannot eat your cake and still have it.' "Last week they withdrew troops from the East Prussian front and hurried them to Thorn, which was threatened by the rapid Russian advance. This move has been for the moment successful In cheeking that advance. "Marching along both banks of the Vistula, the Germans took refuge at Nles hava, only twenty miles distant from Thorn and watted there for reinforce ments. 8oon these began to arrive and moved up the valley of the Vistula with the double object of relieving pressure from the Russian forces making toward Thorn and also threatening the flank of the Russian army which had been mak ing such rapid progress toward the fron tier in the neighborhood of Boldau. William Makes Appeal. 'Emperor William sent - urgent com mands to his generals and also addressed a personal letter to his soldiers not to let Prussia again be invaded. He knows the effect which the flight of fugitives from this region as far as Berlin, made tn September, and is afraid that another panic coining on top of the Russian vic tory at the battle of Warsaw, might have serious consequences. "The only way of carrying out the Im perial order was to shift troops from Lyck, where the nature of the country. all lakes and marshes, make Russian progress very slow. This maneuver has certainly caused the Russians to give way in. the Vistula valley, but the effect in East Prussia has been the opposite of that desired. The Russians there are pushing forward at every point and the Inhabitants sre fleeing before them. Forces Are Limited. ' "The Germans apparently nave not yet realised the Inexhaustible . military re sources of the czar's immense empire. They, themselves, have only a certain number of men. whom they are obliged to move quickly around like a stage army, in order to create the Illusion that they are strong everywhere. When this i number is' finished Germany is-finished." Germans Destroy Railroads. PETROQRAD, Nov. 16. A statement re ceived from the general staff today said: "After our successful fighting in Oc tober along the roads to Warsaw and Ivangorod, the enemy began retreating toward his frontier, destroying the roads and railroads. He set on fire the railroad stations and freight sheds, tore up switches and destroyed the reservoirs and water pipes. At some points on the rail road he blew up the rails and their fast enings, thus , rendering necessary the use of pew rails when repairing the tracks. In .addition all bridges and aqueducts, even, the smallest.' were damaged In such a way - as to make repairs impossible, rendering their rebuilding necessary. Tel egraph poles were felled, wires cut and Insulators destroyed. "All this damage seriously impeded our advance and enabled the enemy on the left bank of Vistula to escape outside of our field of action and to get near his territory.' Areamslste Troops. "Taking advantage of this and their complete railway system, the Germans rapidly began to send their - troops to the north in order to accumulate im portant forces against our wing. "Their concentration in that region was covered by a large body of cavalry, brought from the west, and partly sup ported by Austrian cavalry. "Toward the middle of November the German offensive was renewed between the Vistula, and Warthe rivers. This re sulted in fighting, which IS still going on on the front of Plock, Lentchltsa snd Ourelff. "In Eastern Prussia, in the region of Stalluponsn, the enemy tried by means of separse bodies of troops to adopt the offensive, but he failed and retreated. ' "In the region of Boldau and Nelden burg the battle continues. We maintain our offensive toward Cracow and the front of Gallcla.' "The attempts of the Austrian ,to make a stand on our road have been vain. In the fighting of November 13 we captured ten officers and about 1,000 soldiers." the- discontinuation of the Russian of fensive. The great difficulty for the Russians Is found on the Vistula, which separntos both wing of their army. The Russian army, which was beaten nrer Wlock lawek, and whlrh apparently came from Warsaw, was driven in a southerly direc tion, not In the direction from which It had advanced. It was forced along a road running from Km no to Gombln, while the northern Russian army, operat ing near Soldau, wss forced back to Flock by nay of I.lpno. The Germans now are Manding on the right wing of the main Russian army, consequently thpy have won a tactical success, in addition to creating a favorable strateg'o situation. News reaching here from Vienna Is to the effect that all along the Osllolon border the military activity leads Ger man observers to suppose that the Aua- trians also have taken the offensive.

The state of Washington probably will be placed under quarantine today because of the discov ery of cases of the foot snd mouth dis ease near Spokane. An Inspector there reported that he believed the Infected cattle had been shipped west from the Chlcsgo stock yards.

To assist in preventlnon of the spread of the foot and mouth disease the Inter state Commerce commission announoed today It would "contribute whatever it ran toward affording relief at the pres ent juncture." Applications had been made for tellef from the assessment of demurrage charges on embargoed shipments of live stock, hay and straw held by orders of the agricultural department. The com mission's announcement says: "Carriers are required strictly to observe their published tariff rates and regulations, and may not deviate therefrom. This commission may, however, upon applica tion made to it permit changes in tariffs on less than the ordinary thirty days' notice. Should the carriers or any of them petition this commission to make effective on one day's notice tariffs which will suspend the assessment and collection of demurrage occasioned by the order of the Department of Agri culture this commission will be glad to give prompt and favorable consideration to such applications.

It may be the worst kind of itching ecaema or ringworm. - When I find a little one suffering like that, 1 always advise the mother to do this: Bathe the sick skin with warm water and reslnol soap, pat dry with a soft towel, and put on very gently a thin coating of reslnol ointment. She can dust a little good talcum powder over the oint ment If she likes. This almost never falls to give INSTANT relief and a few Such treatments generally heal the trou ble Bathing daily with reslnol soap is the best way, I know to keep baby's skin free from such Irritations and eruptions It-Is very pure, soothing and healing.
