Luenos Aires September 7. Luis Angel Firpo's troubles with the reform element and the department of labor iu the United States mar become an international incident. They certainly are not increasing friendship between the two Americas. The Argentines, most of whuiu worship Firpo, are incensed at his arrest in "puritanical America" on charge which would be laughed at here if they were not causing annoyance to the big fighter. Bitter resentment is expressed in the highest political and social circles at what is considered an unwarranted interference in an Argentine citizen's private affairs.

The question whether or not Firpo is guilty of the charges that he took Senorita Blanca Lourdes Picart to the United States makes no difference to the Argentines and no one can understand wb; Firpo's amorous adventures or private affairs should be the object if any concern by high officials at Washington. Firpo's case serves to illustrate in an astonishing manner the difference between the moral codes of the United States and Latin America, and the action of the United States authorities in interfering in a love affair are absolutely uncomprehensible to a country which looks upon divorce as a virtual crime but condones free love, which passes unnoticed ir the ordinary course of events. The newspapers are especially bitter about the case. Discussing "Yankee Puritanism," they ioint out the inconsistency of the United States getting wrought up over Firpo's alleged affair with a woman not his the plans to pull out the present motors at Mitchel field tomorrow and the fcirmen indicated that tbey felt such a change was An lrjTrcmptu officers' mess was arranged in a hangar when it was found the fliers were not going to take advantage of Genera Patrick' suggestion of a "day off" and they sat down to army chow with Major H.

Late reports from the Hwangtu sector, northeast Shanghai, indicated that the Chekiang advance had reached Liutuchiao. FIGHTING AT LUHO IXDICATKS MAIN DRIVE. Shanghai, September 7.

(By The Associated Press.) Fighting with redoubled intensity developed in the Luho sector last nigbt and continued throngnojt the night. It is apparent from iLe reports of the latest activity thai the Kiangsu force? are concentrating their attack there. The Shanjjbai-Tachang road, iuto the Luho sector, which hitherto bad been open to anyone willing to risk the dinger of Hying bullets, was closed to 'J but military traffic. An unconfirmed report current here is that the United States army-transport Chaumont is bringing two hundred marines from Cavite.

But the major struggle ceuterea on the small town of Liu'io. on the sea-coast barely 30 miles to the northwest of Shanghai.

An eye-witness, returning tonlcut from Liuho, reported that tht Chekiang troops were withstanding all attacks, though the Kiangsu line had been advanced about a mile just south of Liuho. The deserted town was under heavy shell fire aud continuous machine gun and rifle fire of both sides. General Ho Feng-Ling, defense commissioner of Shanghai, under La Yung-IIsien. the governor of Chekiang, spent the day in this sector, personally directing the Chekiang army. The Chekiang dead and wounded there today numbered, perhaps.

200. The number of casualties continues out of proportion to the tremendous amount of firing. The eye-witness related the haphazard methods on the front lines, saying that the soldiers were discharging rifles and even field pieces utterly regardless of aiming, often simply pointing thena at the sky.

HERRIOT RENEWS STAND OF FRANCE (Continued from First Page.) those who pretend that it was Belgium that leai-ed at Germany's throat." The premier Lcpan his speech by saying he woulJ not discuss either foreign or domestic affairs, fou "wa would offend our dead if we did nor know how to conform ourselves to that love of country that untied them in their sacrifices and in their tombs." He appealed tj everyone to forget differences and merge ourselves "national fraternitj." Will Not l'orget AIliancev "Nevertheless," M. Herriot, added, "it is a hard road that leads from the war out of which we come to the peace we have not yet obtained." He cautioned his hearers to remember that "we are oil on? the same country, whose population is not so large that it cau afford to be divided." The premier then recalled the war spirit and unity that had made victory possible at the battle of Marne, "the fieatest battle in history," but regrethed that since the battle "difficukies and competitions have caused a slackening, at least in appearance. these ties that bound us together." "Tnese ties." M. Herriot continued, "if is my though to reinforce, to make lasting. This association it is my thought to make as effective in peace au it was in war." Looking around at the allied military attaches present, including the representative of the United States, the premier asked them to "convey to your governments the assurance that we arc resolved to remain attached to them as we were in the fight that led to victory." Marshal Jcffre, whose order at the battle of the Marne, "hold out or die was frequently mentioned during the series of ceremonies in connection with the dedication of the monument to Gallieni, attended all of them and was everywhere acclaimed.

The president mentions the receipt of telegrams from Chi and others listing 10 alleged treasonable acts on the part of Governor Lu. General Ho's offense, in the eyes of the government, lies in the fact that he, accepted an appointment by Lu in defiance of Peking. For several days Governor Chi has been at battle with Governor Lu'? forces west and north of Shanghai.

FRESH RATTLK ON IN LAKE SECTOR. Shanghai. September 7. (By tha Associated Tress.) Late night reports' confirmed the outbreak of fight- wife when prominent Americans can be "married one day and divorced the next." Critica, a leading evening newspaper, carried "the headlines; "Firpo a Victim of Yankee Purituniim United States, Where Divorce Kasv as Mar- riage. Unable Comprehend Man Liv- ii i ii-t.

iug nun "juaii uen-jie Ajoves Critica goes on to explain the case, declaring that it is one of insufficient gravity to. permit a foreign country to arrest, harass or deport an Argentine citizen. "We are always the first to noint out Firpo's errors and faults," says another prominent daily, "but in this case Firpo is unodoubtedly the victim of legislation which appears to us uncivilized and inhuman. Firpo is an Argentine and we follow our own customs, which are anti-puritanical. Whether Firpo committed a crime, or not, are unable to Kay, but the whole proceeding appears to us to be exceedingly ridiculous." Most newspapers, after interviewing prominent Argentines and North Americans, arrive at the conclusion that Canon William Sheager Chase, who started all the trouble, is a seeker who does not represent the general public opinion of the United States, but they continue to ask why American officials are participating so actively, and this mystery cannot be solved by Argentine psychology.

One participant in the affair, however, stands out as a hero to the whole Argentine republic. This ia Tex llickard. the fight promoter, who is unstintedly praised on all sides as a champion of personal liberty and international rights. which it stands; one jtati indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." These or similar lines should be learned by every American child, and those of foreign-born parents, too. 0.

When the flag is placed as picture with stripes horizontal the stars should always be in upper left-hand corner, fabric floating to the right. When the flag is used as banner with the stripes in a vertical position, then the starry field should be in upper right-hand corner facing the flag. 7. On a casket the union, or stars, should be in upper right-hand corner (over the heart) as viewed standing at the foot of the casket. S.

When used for decoration certain rules should always be followed (a) In crossing our fla with any other flag the stars and strines shouV be at the right. (b) Should never be placed below a person sitting. (e) Nothing should be allowed to rest upon it save the Bible. (tl) Should never be draped or twisted into rosettes, but always displayed full, open and free. Re, white and blue bunting should be used for drapery.

When hanging bunting horizontally, the blue band shonld be on top. 9. No advertisement can ever be placed on the flag nor can it be as or with a trade-mark. It should never be worn as a whole or putt of eostun'. When worn as a should be pinned over left breast or in left lapel.

Velvet and Crepe Lead. In fabrics, velvet attains the high note of style, while crepe continues to be the staple day in and day out material for tunics as for other blouses. Printed velvets and crepes are frequently seen, with red and black combinations emphasized. Other tunic fabrics are metal brocades, cut velvet, chenille materials and the ribbed silks. We have secured these especially to fill a number of requests from scores of our patrons.

The extraordinary success of this new method proves that it holds and heels a rupture. It weighs only a few ounces. Has no hard gouging pads, no elastic belt, no leg straps, no steel bands, and is as comfortable as a light garment. It has enabled hundreds of persons to throw away trusses and declare their rupture absolutely healed. Many of these had se-rious double ruptures, from which they had suffered for years.

It is Dr. Andrews' ambition to have every ruptured person enjoy the quick relief, comfort and healing power of his discovery, and he will send it on free trial to any reader of The Constitution who writes him. He wants one person in each neighborhood to whom he can refer. If you wish to be rid of rupture for good, without an operation, take advantage of the doctor's free offer. Write him today.

In addition to the recognition paid to "Miss Atlanta" when shc was awarded seventh place out of the 100 beautiful girls who sought the coveted title, the fact that she eliminated the prize beauties of fifteen other southern cities is a signal triumph.

Monroe, widow of ITapeville. was on a pleasure ride during Sunday afternoon, friends said.

At the time of the collision Landers was driving, with Mrs. Landers sitting beside him in the front seat with the baby in her lap. The two small boys were ih the rear seat. It was apparent that the street car came upon them so suddeuly that none of the occupants of the doomed car had a chance to jump. The Landers boy was knocked clear of the automobile at the first impact, but other occupants were dragged with the machine for varying distances, being mangled a the car crumpled under the pressure from the trolley until they, too, were hurled free along the side of the rack.

The automobile was a total wreck. "Impossible To Stop." Motorman L. L. Brooks and Conductor J. D.

Turner, the crew of the trolley, stated that the automobile had appeared so suddenly on the track that it was impossible to stop in time to avoid the collision. The motorman applied air brakes and emergency brakes, he said, and brought his car to a dead stop within a car's length after the impact with the automobile. The motorman said that the car was traveling at its ordinary rate of speed and was about midway between the L.ng avenue and the Whipple avenue stops when he saw the automobile in front of him, apparently having driveu onto the tracks from a vacant field through which no public or private road ran. None of the victims of the collision regained consciousness long enough to explain their presence on the tracks. Mr.

Lauderp, who was the first of the injured to die, suffered a fractured skull, two broken legs, crushed chest and internal injuries. The baby, which died a little more than an hour later, had fractured skull and internal injuries. Mrs. Landers, the last of fhe three to succumb, had a fractured skull and internal injuries. The bodies were taken to Ilemperly's undertaking establishment.

Seven Are Injured. County police are investigating an automobile accident on the Lakcwo.sd road in which seven children were reported shaken up and bruised Sun-, day night. According to attaches at Grady hospital, seven children, ranging in years from 5 to 12, appeared there about 9 o'clock Sunday night for treatment of slight bruises. Their injuries were so slight, however, that no records were made. County police were informed that two cars had collided at some point on the Lakewood road.

The informer a woman stated that she witnessed the accident, and that the driver tf the car which struck the one in which the children were riding was under the influence of whiskv. Criminals Royal, Common. The ordinarv criminal has had no such conspicuous stage for the exhibition of his eccentric behavior as tnat which dignified crimes of the Jioc-gias and the Bourbons. It is a curious manifestatio-i of the romantic workings of the human mind that we have regarded the crimes of tha mighty at least, iu retrospect as a sort of privileged eccentricity, to be read for the thrills of morbid excitement which they induce, whereas we have passed by. as "sordid," the crimes of the lowly, and have neglected to observe that they are not only identical in their execution, but ideo-tical alo in their cause.

The reason, of course, is that the ordinary criminal's genealogy has been of no interest heretofore, because interest In genealogy has in the past spruns solely from interest in a man's social or political importance. The ordinary criminal being a nobody, nobody els fared a hang who his ancestors were. From flu article on 'Crime and He-reditv." hv French Strother, in the World's Work for September.
