The central nowers have decided to put Polisbr troops in the field against the en tente, according to a dispatch from Vienna "'received here today. The movewas prompted by the vigorous allied attacks. The dispatch reads: "In view of the general offensive of their enemies, Austria-Hungary and Germany have decided to utilize the Polish auxiliary corps under Aus trian command. As soon as the war situation permits1 this corps will again form the kernel of the Polish army. Meanwhile the necessary-training- and recruiting staff, consist ing of Austrians and. Pelish subjects, will remain in Poland.- .'2Jegotiationsi between Austria Hungary and Germany for the estab- J.

District Attor ney Hammer is also prevented from prosecuting mill owners for employ ing" children within the restricted ages. The case, will, of course, go to the United States Supreme court as soon as possible. Inhanding down his opinion Judge Boyd said the lawyers on both sides had been frank and in earnest, and presented their views with wonderful force, and the court did not eome to its conclusion until it had heard all the points made by those who plead ed. It was especially pleased with the frankness of the government in saying that Congress did not have in mind commerce as much as it had child labor. The questionlwhich pre sented itself was: Can Congress do indirectly what it cannot do directly. No one would contend that Congress would undertake to'regulate labor in a state to regulate its local condi tion so far as police powers were con cerned. Congress' can regulate com merce, but'.it cannot prohibit it, be cause it might be offended with the conditions existing in the factory that made the product. Another proposition which appealed to the judge was the-bill of rights which as sured' to the people, ITTe, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Content ment, the judge contended was hap piness, no matter whether it was in a cabin in the mountains or a palace of the lords. The judge thought that the progenitors of a child had a right to say' where he should Svork; haLa right to educate him and rear him. That was the idea in thev tribal .days n1wa,MmiKatfo.n- '"-.Was' world-wide, the parent still had -the same rights. Laws may be enacted with certain limitations, but always with due regard for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The judge said that under this Keatingmwen law a boy could come to a mill in Greensboro, claim to be 14 years of age, tell a hard luck story to a. kind- hearted mill man, and secure employ ment for a day. He might be over age; he might be employed to play the part and if so, the property of the mill man was destroyed because he couldn't ship his goods. The' judge said that a mill owner might have a bright boy who wanted to get into the mill business, and he would say to his father that on Saturday after noon or after school he wanted to check out the bales of cotton or help keep tab on something or other wanted an hour or two of employ-i menT with nothing else to do but the father, if he let his own son work but aiTiiour a day, or five minutes a day, if he happened to be under a certain age, must refuse to let his own son in his "own mill help him, and he didn t think such a law was constitutional. He also said that the way they were attempting to stretch laws that under the Mann white slave act it would soon be claimed that the offspring begotten by two people on an interstate trip for immoral pur poses would finally be denied the right to travel on a train because of the Illegitimate manner in which ne was begotten. Argument of the case brought to Greensboro several prominent law yers,, including Dr. Roscoe Pound, of Harvard University Law School; Prof. Thomas I. Parkinson, of Co lumbia University; Junius Parker, of New York city, and Clement Manley, of Winston-Salemf PROSPE0TS . OF AN EARLY RE- DpCnON HAS APPARENTLY VANISHED. : h ,Wsh ington , Aug. 3 1 . (Prospects of aacearly and radical reduction in bread prices apparently vanished to night when Herbert Hoover, the food administrator, announced that the. best the?-public may expect is a. 16 ounce'loaf "fpr 10 cents or possibly eight cents. .... The eight-cent loaf of 16 ounces is possible, Mr. Hoover said; only if bakers, retailers and consumers unite to eliminate wasteful distribution methods and co-operate to obtain a standardized loaf. The price of family flour, Mr. Hoover: said, should -be reduced at the present price of wheat at least two or three dollars a barrel. Bak er's flour will sell little cheaper than at present. C. "I. Corby,, who is serving for the . - .. . - bakers of the country, as a voluntary aide to -Mr. Hoover, said tonight that a 16-ounce loaf foi 10 cents would represent a slight reduction in pres ent prices. . Standarization, he said, would.be hard to bring about, since varying costs in ingredients- that go into bread have made it necessary to increase or reduce he size of the loaf.? No move will be made towafds price reduction,Mr. Corby said, until the food administration has announc ed its plans for dealing with the bak ing industry. It may be a month be fore., the program is ready, it was learned tonight. "The bakers have been and are holding themselves ' in readiness," said a statement by Mr: Corby, "to effect the conservation of wheat, The have been co-operating with Mr. Hover and have supplied data and facts to assist the food adminis tration in perfecting ite plans rela tive t o- bread. "The .bakers respectfully request izedthalseed is of a better grade than ordinary classes and no effect will be made to control the price. ANOTHER LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN OCTOBER 1. Washington, Aug. 31. The open ing of the next liberty loan campaign has been set tentatively by the treas ury department for October 1. Subscription-books will close November 1, unless, the' program is altered. The amount, the interest rate; the denominations of' the- bounds and other-details-will be announced af ter Congress disposes of the pending bond bill. Indications are that the next offering will approximate $3, 000,000,000. Whether it will be ad vertised by the government through paid newspaper space is under con sideration, but Secretary McAdoo said tonight the cost of such an un dertaking would exceed the. appro priation now available for the pur pose. He added that there could be no action until more light had' been received as to the cost of an effective advertising campaign and until Con gress had decided what amount will be allowed for advertising for future issues. Under the war revenue bill passed last April, $7,000,000 was made available for expenses of floating $5, 000,000,000 in bonds and $2,000, 000,000 in short time certificates of indebtedness. Itis reported vthat about half already has been disburs ed in conectjon with the flotation of the,.$2, 000,000, 000 iiberty bonds first offered and the certificates of indebt edness put out in advance of the loan. In announcing the tentative pro gram for the second campaign, Mr. McAdoo appealed to the liberty loan committee to perfect its' organiza tions and prepare for the next cam paign by getting in touch with the various federal reserve banks. WILSON MAILED AS THE NEW LEADER OF THE ALLIES. 4 e juMieftterega; j tfieuious statemehtr : about again moved to admiration of Amer ica and of President Wilson today, To Save the Cabbage Crop the Ger-s. ' , man Way. Washington, Aug. 31. 'Uncle Sam has been forced to employ pro-German methods to save America's cab bage crop. The emergency bureau of the department of agriculture today reported that tremendous rains hare given a whopper cabbage crop, and that unless thousands of heads of it are at once turned into' sauerkraut it will be lost. Despite the fact that we are at war with Germany, sauer kraut -is so popular in this "country that the price has taken, a big jump. It is an easy and exceedingly profit able way to handle surplus cabbage. Last year a million dollars worth I went the .sauerkraut rottte.1 y. I emanating from unreliable sources and ask that they await the an nouncement of the president relative to the nation's plans for bread pro duction." Members of the wheat price com mittee which recommended the price of $2.20 fixed by President Wilson for wheat declared after their work was ended that the committee was convinced it was possible to make and sell a 14-ounce loaf of bread for five cents. The country's millers have agreed to hold their profits on flour to 25 cents a barrel. Under this agree ment, Mr. Hoover said, flour should retail in New York at from $11.75 to $12.75 a "barrel. The price of baker's patent flour-to small bakers and re tailers, he said, should be from $10.35 to $11.25, The average re tail -price of family patent flour in New York from April to August has been $15.36. At present baker's patent is selling in New York to job bers at $10.65, which would make it cost small bakers and retailers about $11. Mr. Hoover made it clear that un der the food control act, except in isolated instances, the food adminis tration has no control of prices from the time flour reaches the wholesaler until it is sold by bakers and retail ers as bread. A price reduction can be accomplished only by voluntary action by bakers and retailers and by the assistance of the public in eliminating waste. Of bread prices-and prospects of-ar eduction Mr. Hoover, said: "At the prospective prices for flour, it is improbable that a full 16 ounce loaf can be delivered' to the consumer for less than 10 cents per loaf, unless the consumer will join with the bakers and retailers in eliminating needless cost. It may be possible to reduce the cost of bread by about two cents per loaf if co operation of the bakers, consumers and retailers can be secured to se cure a standardized loaf, and if wasteful practices which have grown up out of the competitive conditions can be eliminated andvlrfth a reduc tion in credit and delivery be brought about. - "iSome bakers of a large volume and with special delivery conditions may even be able to increase this sav ing somewhat.'' Seed wheat, it- was announced will not be held to the price schedule fix ed by President Wilson. It is;reak after reading the president's note to Pope Benedict. More than one newspaper hailed the American exec utive as the new leader of the allied cause. "At the end of three years of unspeakable strain and anxiety," declared the Morning Post, "it is an inestimable service to the allies to find such leadership as this strong, clear-sighted, inflexible inspiring new courage and faith, 'shaming the faint-hearted and silencing the per verse and disaffected." The Chron icle pointed out that President Wil son had reminded the world that America was unfettered by alliances in "subjecting the ,Paris resolution of the allies to unqualified condemna tion." (This was the resolution banding the allies to commercial re prisals against Germany after- the. war.) . ' ' "This resounding proclamation which comes from the White House on the reality of right and the reality of wrong and of the impossibility of reconciling them or shading them in to one another by good-natured words," the Chronicle added, "might well have issuefl from the Vatican, the ancient repository of Christian verities." . "It is the answer of a practical statesman to the peace-dreaming Vatican, and it may be to other courts as well," the Times summa rized, adding that the note is couch-: ed in the same terms m which all other statesmen of allied powers "must reply to the peace note." Interned Germans Cannot be Used on Roads. Washington, Aug. 31. A delega tion of North Carolinians came here today to see if the interned. Germans at Waynesville and elsew.here could not be" used for -road building pur poses on the government lands in the mountains districts of the South. Among those here were Messrs.
