Wilson Speaks His Mind. .Washington, Oct. 3. President Wilson today delivered one of the few, but highly interesting pres idential addresses, which, in 11 like lihood, will never find their way into print, to a delegation of wo men suffragists representing practi cally every state, who came o ex press their thanks for his address to the senate earlier in the week and for all his efforts toward adoption of the woman suffrage constitutional amendment resolution. What the president said will not be printed because the affair was private, but it can be said that he expressed his views of the senate's rejection of the resolution in terms which have attracted the world's at tention to his rhetoric.

Prices and distribution of practically all articles of wearing apparel are to be controlled by the War Industries board. Regulations issurfd yesterday prescribing certain fixed prices for shoes constituted only the first step in a general policy for price control of clothing, it was disclosed tonight. Chairman Baruch made the announcement in an address to the National Drygoods association. Re ferring to putting into effect the agreement between the board and the shoe industry, Mr. Baruch said: "After that will have to come, the regulation and distribution of most all of the things which you gen tlemen have to deal with. I don't want you to say it can't be done, because it must be done. It is un thinkable that only the man with the longest pocket aok can get the things that he needs." The drygoods retailers, when called upon by Chair man Baruch to take the product of "the manufactur er, who, to some extent, has his prices regulated and limited amounts allocated to him" with the determina tion to distribute it "in some fair and equitable way, seeing that, as far as possible, each individual gets his share and gets it at a price that is fair." "When it comes to the question of a fair price," Mr. Baruch continued, "that is very difficult to an swer. I should say roughly that a fair price is a price something like the normal profitf in normal times. I know you will all say that these are ab normal times. They are and we hare got to do ab-. normal and new things." Representatives of the association were appointed to confer with the War Industries board in matters of distribution and price control. Though no details of the plan to be followed in controlling clothing prices has been announced by the board, it is believed that the general policy adopt ed in fixing the prices of shoes will be followed. Standard prices for standard grades of men's and women's suits, hats and other articles of clothing probably will be established by agreement with manu facturers and retailers. wenty-fifth street.

It was theAk'Sar-Ben military parade. Four "whippet tanks" were fea tures of the parade that particularly interested the crowds. They were built by Gus Renze in correct imi tation of the real "whippets" that are causing such consternation among the Germans. The Liberty loan float, which was in the electrical parade, did duty in the military parade also. It showed the kaiser cowering at the foot of a cliff unaware that American citi zens at the edge of the precipice above him are prying a heavy safe with a large plank labelled "Thrift" and that the safe, filled with Liberty bonds is about to crush him. A company of more than 100 Omaha soldiers from Camp Funston marched with swinging stride and amid much applause. Not all the marchers were in khaki. In fact, only a fraction of them were. But the others were soldiers, just the same, because they are engaged in various lines of work necessary to, the-welfare and heakla and comfort of the real soldiers.,. i rom the Ak-Sar-Ben board of governors who rode their fiery steeds at the head of the parade, to the fire department, which brought up the rear, there were plenty of things that roused en thusiasm and interest. Boys In Khaki Inspire. Major Rodgers was in command of a regiment of men from Fort Omaha and Fort Crook. This regi ment was headed by the Fort Crook band. Company after company of splendid young soldiers marched with inspiring tread. All the various appurtenances of a regiment were along. There was a big observation balloon, all inflated and ready to go up but held down by many ropes. There were truck winches by which the balloons are held when they go up into the air. A traveling kitchen passed along, the cooks busy, apparently prepar ing "chow." There were machine guns ready to bark their messages (Continued on Page Nfoe, Columa Tour.) JOLLYTHRONG OF FUN SEEKERS ON KING'S WAY Revelers Have Gay -Time, - -Throw Care to the Winds" and End Evening in a Riot of Fun. It was a jolly crowd of fun-seekers that visited the carnival grounds last nght, and unless one was pos sessed of a chronic attack of in disposition, he could not help but laugh. Everyone else was laugh ing, and why not ydu? It was the style, and better be out of the grounds than out of style. And yet laughing was not alto gether a safe indulgence, for as surely as you opened the laughing spot, someone took it for a waste paper basket .and proceeded to fill it full. Then perhaps you thought you would be congenial and entertain your friends in conversation, but with no better result, for again that particular portion of your anatomy became a -target for the playful sportsman. So now having decided that you will neither laugh nor talk you at tempt to watch others partake of their evening meal, when lo and behold, someone pours a whole sack of confetti down your back and again the fun is on. 4 Finally you turn to the shows, and here you have the time of your life. Say mister! What shows! Why there was that little girl, Alma, who weighs only 725 pounds, a perfect living example of that ancient adage "laugh and grow fat." And then one might go on through the entire list, but it would take too long. If you have not been there, you had better go, and if you have, go again, it won't hurt you. Funeral of John Norberg. The funeral of John Norberg will be held at the First Baptist church at 4 o'clock this afternoon. MRS. LYNGH MAY DIE AS RESULT OF AUTO CRASH Light Car Occupied by Three Persons Demolished by Heavy Paige Driven by Ernest Rushenberg. In a collision at Twentieth and Leavenworth streets, a Ford car, driven by Helen Lynch was de molished last night at 11 o'clock. The Ford, which was being driven south in Twentieth street, was Btmck by a Paige tat-that Wai trav eling east on Leavenworth, and knocked fifteen feet east, turned completely about, and smashed against the curb. The occupants of the Ford were Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Lynch, 2063 Deer Park boulevard; Miss Helen Lynch, their daughter, and Mrs. O. E. Davidson, of Syracuse, Neb. Mrs. Lynch received a dangerous gash on top of her head, and a cut on her nose, and is said by Dr. Edstrom to be in a very critical con dition. She was taken to her home. Mr. Lynch suffered a deep cnt on the left cheek, and Mrs. Davidson and Miss Lynch were badly bruised. The driver of the Paige car was Ernest Rushenberg, 2652 Dewey avenue. Witnesses say he was not speeding. R. Peterson, 2763 Burt street; Frank Mancusco, 1245 South Sixteenth; Rube Feltman, 2601 Ma son street; and Frank Synek, 506 North Seventeenth, were in the Paige car. None was injured. They were coming from Millard. Smokes Reach Fighting Line. Paris, Oct. 3. Twenty truckloads of food and tobacco, valued at $20, 000, have been distributed among the American troops engaged on the Argonne front. Three hundred Young Men's Christian association workers are being employed in this task and most of the smokes and edibles were given to men under fire. At the Young Men,Christian association headquarters today it was stated that thousands of gal lons of hot chocolate were served free while the men were awaiting the field kitchens. Withdraws Nomination. Washington, Oct. 3. President Wilson today notified the senate that he had withdrawn the nomina tion for the re-appointment as chief of ordnance of Maj. Gen. William Crozier. This nomination was sub mitted to the senate on December 13 last, but the senate failed to act upon it. MENACE TO HUN RETREAT GROWS DAILY Break in North Increases Danger in Retirement of Armies on Remainder of Line. U. S. SUBS TAKE PART IN AN, ATTACK ON ADRIATIC COAST Washington, Oct. 3. The German retreat from the Hindenburg line was in full swing today, menaced by the French, Belgian and British thrusts at vital points. While offi cial reports told only of the evacua tion of Armentieres and Lens, offi cers here confidently expected that this phase of the withdrawal must be expanded to the south at once under the threat of the British push northeastward from their lines be tween the Scarpe and Cambrai. With the evacuation of Lens, the enemy's hold on the great coal region of northern France is loos ened. Nothing has been received as yet to show whether the mines have been fired, but it is regarded as cer tain that during the years of Ger man occupation the great fuel store houses below the surface have been worked to the limit. Prepare to Reclaim Mines. As evidence of the complete con fidence with which the allied lead ers have viewed the future ever since it became certain that the United States would succeed in get ting a great army to France for the fighting this year, it is now known tha,t reoccupation of the Lens coal fields has been definitely figured on for some months in computing fuel needs and supplies. Thei-e also are indications that American coal min ing units, equipped with the most Washington, Oct. 3.-In the loss of the patrol boat Tampa sunk in up-to-date machioeryeven with, theJth-Bristol- chaimel; '-with- all- on means-of fighting possible fires in the workings, will be ready to enter the mines as rapidly as the armies force the enemy beyond them. Key in Plumer's Hands. The force that compelled the German leaders to order the evacu ation of the Lens-Armentieres front undoubtedly, in military opin ion here, was the wholly unexpect ed rush in Belgium in which the Belgian army itself, under com mand of its soldier king, formed the spearhead that broke the way for swift expansion of the victory by French and British forces. There appears to be little doubt now that King Albert will be able to re-establish his capital on Bel gian soil this winter. Standing on the flank of the Ger man communication ' system from Armentieres to the immediate vi cinity of Courtai, General Plumer's second British army is believed to hold the key to a wide stretch of territory now in enemy hands. Extension of the Franco-Belgian drive north of General Plumer's line, however, would permit the (Continued on Fage Nine, Column lire.) FederalyTrade Board Profiteering Report Denounced as False Washington, Oct 3. Controversy over the federal trade commission's profiteering report criticising the meat packers was renewed in the senate today, Senator Smoot of Utah, republican, reiterating charges that the report was an exparte af fair and in some respect "absolute ly false." t Senator Kendrick of Wyoming and others defended the report and attacked alleged unfair practices of the packers upon live stock grow ers and consumers. "Some of the worst criticism of the commission," Senator Smoot de clared, "were of actions compelled by food administration orders." German Staff Plans For Retreat Shattered By Breaking of Line Washington, Oct. 3. It is be lieved here that the evacuation of Lens and Armentieres had no place in the immediate German plans a week ago. On the contrary there seemed every reason for this barrier to be held and the first admission by the enemy 'that the Hinden burg line was broken came with the beginning of his withdrawal just west of Rheims. It is apparent therefore that the plans of the German general staff for gradually falling back from the most exposed position in the center and retiring along the whole front from a sector at a time already has been shattered. 118 LOST IN TORPEDOING OF PATROL BOAT U. S. S. Tampa Torpedoed in British Channel While Escorting Convoy: No Survivors Found. board on the night of September 26 the navy suffered its greatest single blow of the war, navy de partment advices indicated tonight. The Tampa, formerly the Toast guard cutter Miami, carried a com plement of 10 officers and 102 men and in addition to these one British army officer and five civilian em ployes are listed among the missing. The report of Vice Admiral Sims indicates that the Tampa was tor pedoed while escorting a convoy. No Survivors Found. Other vessels of the convoy, which it appears the Tampa had steamed ahead of, made a thorough search in the vicinity after they felt the shock of the explosion, but they failed to find a single survivor. Two bodies in naval uniform were picked up, but they had not been identified up to the time Admiral Sims' latest dispatches were filfd. Capt. Charles Satterlee, formerly of the coast guard service, was the commander of the Tampa.

QUENTIN SECTOR EXPERIENCE SOME OF THE HARDEST FIGHTING OF ENTIRE WAR, SMASHING MACHINE GUN NESTS AND UVbtWUWMNG ENEMY IN HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT IN SHELL HOLES AND DIirMrm ' By Associated Press. With the American Army in the St. Quentin Sector, Oct. 3. Ameri can regiments fighting in the Hin denburg line along this sector of the front have seen some of the hardest fighting of the war.. It was a furious desperate struggle into which they plunged! They fought day and night in groups and single-handed, in and out of shell holes. They showed gallantry, self-sacrifice and devotion to duty unsurpassed by any other troops.' Fight at Close Quarters. From the instant they leaped from their- trenches they ran into snipers and hordes of machine guns. German infantrymen, spurred on by their officers, stood up before them offering hand to hand combat . Some of the stories of the men rho fought tell of the terrific nature of tht struggle. ' One Brooklyn regiment took and re-took a position known as the knoll, three times. The battle swung back and forth with the men so close to each other that rifle butts were just as effec tive as anything else. Remain With Wounded Captain. On the first assault the Americans rushed forward and suddenly met masses of machine guns, which were camouflaged and held their fire until the Americans were close upon them. The Americans went right on. and were on top of the guns before they began firing. The Germans did not continue their murderous work long. A dash, a leap, a flash of a bayonet and a stab of flame from a rifle and one nest after another was silenced and the Americans plunged on. A Brooklyn captain was isolated in a shell hole with 12 men, while an " enemy machine gun nearby poured a not hre into the party. Finally the captain was wounded and ordered his sergeant to take the men away and save themselves if they could. The sergeant started to carry out the order, mit after the men had crawled a few feet on all fours the sergeant asked them: "I think it is bad to go away and leave the captain. Do you fellows want to go back and stay with him?" Lose Way in Fog. All answered in the affirmative and they crept back and rejoined the captain. They fought like wild men and killed with their rifles many of the Germans who tried to" reach them. When the gallant party was relievecMater the only man not wounded was the sergeant. Private Joseph Grovani of Brook lyn, and Corp. Harry Close, son of an. athletic coach at Princeton uni versity, were in the first platoons over the top. They lost their way in the fog, but finally saw some Germans, disappear into a dugout. The two approached the dugout and demanded that the occupants sur render. Eight Germans came out and the two Americans were taking th em back when a German barrage began. One of the Germans sug gested to his comrades that they try to get away. They did not know that Grovani understood Ger man, and were surprised when he suddenly told them to behave them selves or take the consequences. One of the prisoners then offered to show the way back to the American line, the location of which Grovani and Close were not certain they knew. The Americans, however, re fused to take chances and wandered around with their eight prisoners for several hours until they hap pened into the American lines, Private John Rawlinson of Kings ville, Tex., but attached to a New York division, became entangled, in the barbed wire during the forward rush of his own regiment. He then went on with another unit. Seeing a German disappear into a dugout, he stood at the door and called on all the occupants to come out. Fifty two Germans, including three offi cers, filed out. Rawlinson proudly marched them back and now has a receipt for them. Privates Leon Davidson of Brook lyn, Walter Burry, a Cornell stu dent, whose home is on Staten Is land; Arthur Gilles, Brooklyn, and a graduate of Brooklyn manual training high school; Ernest Min der, of the Bronx, and Gideon An derson of Brooklyn, were all in the first wave last Friday. They be came separated from their own units going over -knolL Fifteen yards from a German machine gun posi tion they dropped into a shell hole, where ttuy were hidden for a while by the great billows of smoke yowl ing oVer the battlefield. Trapped in Dugout. The Americans finally crept down a ditch on their stomachs and man aged to reach a dugout with two doors, which they entered. German soldiers had seen the Americans gcing into the dugout and placed machine guns so that they could play on both entrances. The men remained in the dugouts all day Friday and Friday night. The food and water in theucan teens gave out and the Americans became dizzy from the gas fumes which filtered down into the dug out All Saturday the machine guns maintained their fire against the dug out doors. .The Americans Saturday had nothing to eat except crusts of stale black bread left behind by the former occupants, and they had to drink water from puddles formed by the rain of Friday night. The Germans,--apparently not knowing the strength of the party, 'refrained from attacking the dugout, but con tinued to shoot at the entrances every now and then. Rescue Wounded Comrade. Late Saturday night the group became so cold hungry and thirsty they decided nothing could be worse than staying in the dugout so they started forth. As they were wriggling across the ground to ward the American lines they heard groans coming from a shell hole. In the shell hole they fouiyl a member of their own regiment who had been wounded in both legs early Friday morning, and who had hten in the shell hole since.
