Little Entente
Work to Enlarge
Membership
-' n '
Founders Endeavoring to In
clude All Countries of the
Balkans and Poland
In Movement.

Washington, Oct. 10. The foun
ders of the "Little ' Entente" the
.statesmen of Roumania, Jugo-Slavia
and Czecho-Slovakia are working
for an enlargement of the member
ship of the alliance until it shall em
'brace all the countries of the Balkans
and Poland, it was learned today in
advices from an onicial source. The
."'llhrence of Greece to the entente
i omlirlently expected soon bv offi
i i" Bucharest, the birthplace of
me c ti'iite i U-a. una the place
where ail i..c p . rlu.iiiinry work was
largely done. . .
Dispatches from Bucharest state
that the sentiment in favor of the
alliance is very strong in Greece,
where the tradition of the old Balkan
alliance is kept alive. The relations
between Greece and Roumania are
exceptionally cordial and the prin
ciples of the entente, as expressed by
Roumanian statesmen, are heartily
endorsed by the leaders of Greek
political thought. '
Bulgaria, although a foe. in the
l.'ite war. is also desirous of joining
the c'Uente. It has been pointed
oi't officially in both Bulgaria and
Koumania that there are no differ
ences outstanding between the two
countries, and expressions of friend
ly sentiment by -the Bulgarian preJ
inier, Stambulisky, have been favor
ably acknowledged by the entire
Roumanian press. Both countries
have advanced far on the work of
reconstruction after the war, and the
statesmen of both countries have
agreed to forget past differences in
the work of building for the future.
Rival factions in Roumanian poli
tics arc as one in the policy of the
organization of the little entente.
Alexander Vaida. former foreign
minister, and Take Joschu. the pres
ent foreign minister of Roumania,
worked in harmoy in the early
wcrk of forming the alliance, and
with the same end in view the en
largement of the alliance until peace
in the Balkans could be guaranteed.
it was otticially announced that the
policy of these two present-day
statesmen of Roumania aimed at
"an alignment of the people of
southeastern Europe for insuring
pease and safeguarding mutual in
terests." (:.;: . ,- '

started by Bostonians. An organization called the Bring-Your'Lunch-From-Home
club has been formulated by residents of that city. One of
the chief workers of the club is A. J. Peters, mayor of Boston. Since the
birth of the organization Mayor Peters daily brings his lunch from home
to the city hall and enjoys his sandwiches and milk very much, as the

New York, Oct. 10. Such swift
and violent declines as the grain,
cottont sugar, clothing and other
materials' and commodities have ex
perienced in the last six weeks raise
the question whether or not market
readjustlents have ben carried, along
rather far. The declining movement,
it must be remembered, was by no
means confined to this period, but
had already made substantial prog
ress prior to September J. ,
In the second week of Alav 'cash
wheat sold for $3.25 per bushel, in
the first week of July a quotation of
$2.95 was established and last week
$2.9 was paid. Cash corn com
manded $2.31 -4 in the second week
of May, $1.90 in the first week of
July and $1.14 at the lowest price
of last week. Spot oats changed
hands at $1.50 per bushel in the first
week of May, $1.30 in the opening
week of July and 66c last week. Cot
ton for immediate delivery sold as
high as 43c a pound on July 22, as
compared with last Saturday s price
of 24c at New York.
These extraordinary movements
r.re possible of clearer presentation
than many other prices because of
highly irregular market conditions,
but they are demonstrative of a
general downward1 progress which
seemed to receive particular empha
sis . last, week, although its phases
were not new..
Confidence in Future.
Certainly, there lias been a drastlo al
teration ot speculative accounts every
where and the effort of numerous cor
porations to replace floating debt by
fixed capital through security offerings,
denotes a purpose of carrying; irrods in
hand until they may profitably be liqui
dated. The easy manner In which many
millions of new money has been raised of
late, purely for the task of protecting in
ventories, bespeaks confidence on the part
of both banker and investor that the cur
rent difficult situation will work out right
in the end. The recoveries from last
week's minimum price levels, where ar.y
recurred, were feeble and Inconclusive of
a changed attitude among consumers. TheN
stock market disclosed tne activities ji
(peculators who were as till committed to
the lowering side of values. It is possi
ble that two developments which will
appear little later may have Important In
fluence on the shaping of the course of
prices. One Is comprised In the state of
credit and money when the autumn de
mands begin to slacken, as they should do
before the end of October: the other lies
within the steel and Iron trade. Steel and
Iron prices have retreated with other
commodltis. bu the fall has been reluct
ant. In case of most products which 'In
dependent'1 companies have priced higher
than the . leading unit there remains a
considerable distance to go before the
base prices of March, 1919, are reached.
Bumper Crops Promised.
The loading grain crops, wheat, com
and oats, promise a yield of 6,411,000,000
bushels in the light of the government'?
report of October 1. This total, if actually
harvested, will be 500,000,000 bushels
greater than was indicated on July 1, but
the. producers cannot maintain hopes of
r. return anywhere In the neighborhood of
the vast amount estimated from July
prospects. At the going market quota
tions of early July, the crops would havu
been worh tabout I971OO.O0O.000. The lat

Canadian Business
Circles in "Panic" '
Over Drop in Prices
Ottawa, Ont., Oct. 10. High sugar
prices, compared to the United
States, and; a wool market, said to
be "in a panic" by the live stock
branch' of the agricultural depart
ment, disturbed Canadian business
circles. -
Candklian sugar refiners appealed
to the government to guard them
s gainst loss, asserting that, while
the wholesale price is 19J4 cents, it
is offered for half that price across
the border. The Canadian customs
provides for valuation of goods for

price in Hie country whence they are
exported. .

said to be contributory factors to
the "panic," described in a statement
by the agricultural department.

Moscow Communique States
That Bolsheiki Have Re
taken Minsk Advancing
All Along Line.
rw York Tlme-i'hlaa-o Tribune Cable,
Copyright. JD30.
Riga, Oct. 10. Delegates to the
Kussiau - Polish peace conference
here were informed today through a
Moscow communique that a new of
fensive had been set in motion by
the bolshevik armies against the
Toles on the Galician front.
Minsk, the communique stated,
had been retaken, and i was claimed
that the reds were advancing
against the Poles all along the line;
Despite contrary reports from the
Polish capital, George Tchtcherin,
the soviet rninister of foreign af
fairs, telegraphed the red delegates
here today that the red armies in
south Russia had taken the initiative
Esrainst the combined forces of Gen
eral Baron Wrangelvvflnd Gcjieral
Makhnc, the guerrilla leader, and
were scoring gains and advances.
M. Tchtcherin added that the soviet
a,rmies were greatly aided in this
orive by peasant uprisings against
the Wrangel government.
At bolshevik headquarters, here to
day there was a question as to
whether this news of new red mili
tary successes would have any ef
fect upon the peace negotiations.
Nevertheless, indications point to a
stormy session of, the commissions
tonight, with Chairman Joffe of the
Moscow delegation assuming the offensive.
The commissions have held both
day and, night sessions during the
past few days, but there still is no
indication when their work will be
completed. The geireral impression
is that the negotiations will be pro
longed well into iext week.
Only four articles, it is stated, have
been definitely settled and there are
maiiy points of divergence still to be
ironed out. The chief hitch to a
sneedv armistice concerns duration
of the armistice and. upon the ques
tion of how soon the armistice could
be terminated by either side.
The, Poles are standing out for a
short armistice with the right to
break it off upon five days' notice.
They also contend that the armistice
shall not begin until 10 days after
the articles are formally signed.
Old-Fashioned Rest Cure
Best for Cold, Doctor Says
Boston, Oct. 10,-To those thou
sands of men, women and children
who are suffering from "this pre
valence of colds," Dr. Lyman A.
Jones of the state department of
health, gave this advice:
"Colds are highly communicable.
Isolate yourselves. Take a day or
two off. Rest up. Resort to any
of the 'old-fashioned treatments."
While the health department is con
cerned primarily in contagious and
infectious diseases, Dr. Jones said
that, as a practising physician, there
has comej to his attention "the ex
istence of a great, prevalence of
colds." And he gave gratis the
above advice.

More Craftsmen Than Unskilled
Laborers Entering United States
American Industry Disheartened by ' Immigration
Figures Showing That "While Country Gained in

'Washington, Oct. 10. American

migratory tide, liut common, un
skilled labor, the scarcity of which
has given industry one of its hard
est pinches and has helped send up
the cost of living, was chained of
100,000 workers.
In the fiscal year, ended 'ast June
.10, more craftsmen entered America
than departed. The sanie was tiue
of doctors, editors, ministers, engin
eers, teachers, actors and other pro
fessional occupations. Hut in front
of unskilled labor, which is at the
bottom of employment for all other
groups, was hung a large minus sign.

A shortage of .at least 3,000.000 in

This is exclusive of -farm labor,
which registered an increase, due to
the importation of hands from Mex

states. . ' - '
In the present tide, which has been
twirling at Ellis island since Ma?, a
larger percentage of unskilled labor
is found among the arriving aliens,
liut as females constitute 40 per cent
of the incoming aliens and male

The statisticians of. the inter
racial council after' examining the
figures for nine recent weeks, esti
mate that the net increases of male
aliens is now running at the rate
1,575 a week of about 80,000 a year.
Even if this figure were doubled or
trebled, it would require years and
years to replenish the common labor
supply to a point where it . will be
fully ample once the industries begin
hitting up a real pace again.
Invention of labor-saving devices
will undoubtedly tigliten some of the
slack, but some employment experts
think that despite an. immigration

the common labor problem will be

is that the literacy test, instead of
keeping undesirables out 'of the
