Haywood and Others Charged
With Publishing Seditious
Articles in "Solidarity;"
- Evidence Made Public.
Chicago, Oct 2. Haywood and
others, arrested, under the Industrial
Workers of the World indictments,
issued here last Friday, are held lia
ble for publication in the newspaper
Solidarity last August of the follow
ing: ' .
"The Industrial Workers of the
World is more than a labor organiza
tion. It is a revolutionary union.
We are absolutely and irrevocably
dissatisfied with the present system
of society. We conjider it a use
less system and we mean to destroy it.
"Red card men are shrewd, de
termined, valorous and loyal to the
cause they love. There would not be
sofdiers enough in the country to
round them up for arrest nor jails
enough to hold them.
"The Industrial Workers of the
World is so deeply rooted in America
and the world that it can afford to
take the chances of an open war a
whole lot better than the powers
that oppose it1 Our system of job
agitation is such that no power on
earth can keen the union from spread
ing its influence. We have shown the
world how to go to jail in huge num
bers, exacperate the taxpayers and
block the machinery of 'justice.'
"The Industrial Worker of the
World is fighting for himself. Self
preservation, like, the copper -trust,
knows no law."
Opposed Conscription.
Another issue of the paper, August
Z5read!
"The refusal of American workers
to volunteer and their determined op
position to being drafted into the
army demonstrates clearly that war
. i being recognized by the slave class
as a cause of class hatred.
' Other .issues of the paper read:
"It is needless to say the Industrial
Workerl of the.World are unalterably
noosed to conscription. We con
aider the bombastic and far-fetched
talk about freedom, and democracy
imply so much bunk. The only place
wc have anything to gain or defend
is on the job." ,-.-....,

' Search for alleged Industrial Work
ert of the World leaders .named in
indictments returned here last Friday
was made today in various army can
tonments, where, it is learned, a num
ber of the men sought are in national
service. A -careful check of all the
registered men is now being made by
federal authorities, who assert it will
' only be a. matter of a short time until
all of the 166 indicted men are under
arrest. . ;"-?,
Make Public Some Evidence.
i Officials here attach "significance to
the presence of the indicted men in
the cantonments, all of whom are said
to have gone, into service , without
claiming exemption.' One ' of he
charges made In the indictment il "the
discovery of certain efforts of the
Industrial Workers of the World to

August 2, to William Haywood, says:
"We have the eood will ot tne uer

Little Tot Wants to Go With Her
Daddy Who Refuses Exemption
"Ut goin' to get a cap and gun and
go wif my daddy," said little Elaine
Robertson, when told that her.father
was going to Camp Funston with the
national army. Smilingly the little,
girl tells about what a fine big man
her father is. how brave and what a
fine soldier he is going to be.
H. C. Robertson, a prominent
Omaha lawyer, living at 4020 North -Thirty-fourth
street, modestly lays no
claim for honor to his actions. "Was
it not brave of my wife to let me go?"
questioned Robertson.
He was exempted for dependents,
but after talking the matter over with
his wife decided that it was his duty
to join the colors. He returned and
withdrew his exemption claims. His
patriotic act was largely responsible
for his appointment as captain of the
contingent on the way to Fort Riley.
"I have always wanted to join the
army and serve in this war because I
believe the cause is a just one," he
said. "Someone has to fight and I
may as well do my share as anyone
else." t ,
Mrs. Robertson secured employ
ment in the Union Pacific offices upon
deciding that her husband was to join
the army. "It is going to be lonesome,
but Elaine and f will have to try and
be as brave as he was in going, ' said
Mrs. Robertson. "I am proud of him
for his patriotism and believe that it
is better to go now than to wait a few
months for another call. He is inter
ested in army life and I expect to see
him secure a commission soon."
Mrs. Robertson was formerly Miss
Ruth Willard. dauohter of Mrs. Frank
Willard, 2969 Pacific, street. She isO
already seated at a desk in the Union
Pacific headquarters earning a liveli
hood for herself and little daughter.

London, Oct 2. Nearly 4,000 pris

in Mesopotamia, which captured Ra

Great as was the Italian victory on
the plateau, the battle there is by no
means finished, according to today's
dispatches. OiUi the first phase of
the campaign ivpast and the Italian
troops are now preparing for a re
sumption of the action on a greater
scale. The Austrians, aware of the
Italian purpose, are making ready a
strong defensive.
Emperor Off era Encouragement.
From Austrian sources the Italians
have learned that the recent visit to
the battlefields of Emperor Charles
was planned to encourage the Aus
trian defensive by his personal ap
pearance, further evidence of the
Austrian preparations is found in the
withdrawal of nearly all Austrian
troops from Galicia and Bukowina,
where they had been holding in check
the Serbians and Russians, and their
transfer to the Italian front. Similarly
large numbers of Austrian troops
have also been recalled from France.

' (By Anwctetod Frw.) ,
British Headquarters" in France and
Belgium. Monday, Oct 1. Once more
the! Germans have essayed, in a series
of counter-attacks, to break the new
British lines between Polygon wood
and Tower Hamlets, across tbe open
road to the south.' Again they have
been hurled back with heavy losses.
The principal result of three bitter
attacks by the enemy between dawn
and mid-afternoon has been the mer
ciless shattering of his ranks and
stilt further advance over the front
south of Polygon wood by the Brit
ish., who 'pushed their line forward
some hundred yards in depth behind
the fleeing Oermans.
The first assault was delivered at
6:1 S o'clock this morning. The enemy
advanced in three waves toward 'the
British,- but immediately met with
such a fierce fire of rifles and artillery
that; he was compelled to retire. Ut
was apparent, however, that the uer
mans were not through with the at
tempt, and the big British guns turned
loose such an avalanche of shells as
is seldom, seen along the front

Many of the theaters are continuing
their performances notwithstanding
the raids. At the conclusion of the
performance in one of the leading
Londer theaters tonight the manager
came to the stage and invited the
audience and stage hands to vote on
the question of continuing the night
performances. All voted in favor of
carrying them on as usual.
Starts at 7 o'Clock.
Field Marshal Lord French, commander-in-chief
of the home forces,
issued the following report dealing
with tonight's raid:
"A group of hostile airplanes
crossed the Essex coast at 7 o'clock
this evening and proceeded across
Essex toward London.
"This group of machines was fol
lowed at about a quarter of an hour's
interval by a second group which pur
sued tne same course.
"The first attack on London was
delivered from the northeast about
7:45 p. m. Most of the raiders were
turned back, but one or more of the
machines penetrated the defenses and
dropped bombs in the southwestern
district
Second Groups Get Busy.
"About 8:15 p. m. the second group
of raiders attempted to cross the de
fenses at various points in northeast
and north London, but without suc
cess until shortly after 9 o'clock,
when a few of the machines passed
across London and bombs were again
dropped in the southwestern district
"Meanwhile a third group'of raid
ers crossed the Essex coast at 8:50 p.
m. and proceeded toward London,
which was approached shortly before
10 o'clock. They did not penetrate
farther than the eastern outskirts of
London, where some bomOs are re
ported to have been dropped.
"No reports of casualties or damage
have yet been received."
Great Pyrotechnic Display.
While a terrific barrage was kept
up with bursting shrapnel furnishing
one of the greatest pyrotechnical dis
plays London ever saw, a thrilling
battle in the air took place between
enemy aircraft and British aviators
in the northern district, according
to special constables, who said they
witnessed it by means of powerful
binoculars. Although the machines
were thousands of feet in the air, the
fire of the machine guns could be
heard below. When the echoes of
this fight died away the anti-air craft
gun fire in the city ceased, but it
could be heard in the distance, indi
cating that the enemy was being
driven off under a heavy bombard
ment. According to a report from an
Essex district a heavy mist , which
came up while the raid was 'ifl pro
gress caused on raider to lose his
way while igoing back to . the 1" toast.
The German flew, very low and could
be seen and appeared to be enveloped
in a ring of bursting shells. Seem

Anti-Aircraft Succeeds.
Although details were slow in com
ing in, it was apparent that the bar
rage of the anti-aircraft guns made
it so hot for the raiders that they
dropped bombs in open places, their
one concern being to unload and get
away.
The growing confidence of London
ers in the ability of the anti-aircraft
guns to keep the raider: at bay. was
shown by the fearlessness and good
behavior of the crowds. The tactics
of the Germans are so well known
that they cause spirited betting
among sportsmen as to the time of
