GERMANY PLANS O LIBERATE LITHUANIA
Second Son of KAiser to Be Ruler and Will Form Sate of German Empire.
Paris, Nov. 20.-Germany is about to follow up her declaration of Polish independence with a similar announcement regarding Lithuania, according to dispatches from Switzerland to the morning papers.
The dispatch sys that the new state will probably receive Prince Eitel Friedrich, second son of the Emperor, as its sovereign and will form a state of the German empire with a similar status to that of Boavaria or Saxony. As in the case of Poland, the dispatches add, the first step in creation of the new state will be the formation of a Lithuania army to fight under Field Marshal von hindenburg. It is estimated that Lithuania could raise 150,000 men.

"TRIAL DIVORCE" GIRL IS AGAIN A BRIDE
Mrs. Fannie Smith Trude Married to Harry Riley, Circus Performer.
Special to the Herald.
Chicago, Nov 20.-Mrs. Fannie Smith Trude, celebrated as the inventor of "trial divorce," is a bride again to-day. Announcement was made that she has been married to Harry Riley, a circus performer.
Mrs. Trude's adventures in matrimony number three. She was wed when 16 to a boy named Daggett, but the marriage was annulled through the efforts of George A. Trude, later a judge of the Superior court here. Then Trude married her himself. In 1911 they separated and made public announcement that they had agreed to a trial divorce. If it be proved satisfactory it would be made permanent later. The real divorce came in 1915. Riley is said to have been a boyhood sweetheart. 

Outlook in Roumania Is Blacker Than Ever
London, Nov. 20.-The allies' victory at Monastir, in Macedonia, was pushed into the bakcground to-day by advices from Roumania.The outlook for the salvation of Roumania is blacker than it has been at any other time since the armies of Von Falkenhayn and Von Mackensen began their double drive in September.
Powerful thrusts within the last forty-eight hours have driven the austro-German lines nearly fifty miles into the wetsern part of Roumania.

Teutons Cut Railroad.
Austro-German forces have cut the Orsova-Craiova railroad, the only railway line running through Roumania from the east to west. This advance menaces the Roumanian army on the line stretching along the danube in a southeasterly direction from Orsova and will probably compel its retreat. A retirement of this force will open the way for a brand new invasion of Roumania from Bulgaria by way of Vidin or Rahova.
The progress of the Austro-Germans in northeastern Roumania is much more difficult. the Roumanians and Russians have massed the bulk of their armies in that zone to prevent Roumania being cut off from Russia. But a decisive victory in that sphere will not be necessary if the Teutons keep up their swift progress across the Roumanian plain.

May Compel Retreat.
An advance across this stretch of level ground in Central Roumania will put the Austro-Germans in the rear of the armis in the Carpathians and the eastern ranges of the Transylvanian Alps, compelling them to flee.
Heavy battles continue on the Somme front in France. The allies ar keeping up their drive on Bapaume, but with a small degree of success. Berlin dwells upon the severity of the allies' losses there.

Serbians Given Credit for Great Victory
London, Nov. 20.-The Serbians are given the lion's share of honor by the morning papers in discussing the fall of Monastir. The capture of bill 1212 by the Serbians and their rapid advance to hill 1378, threatening the Bulgarians only avenue of retreat along the Prilep road, is considered the main factor in forcing the hasty evacuation of the city. 
Military opinion insists that the allies must now advance toward Prilep, using Monastir as a base, and from there to Negotin, on the Vardar. From the later town they claim that the Bulgarian prositions, east of the Cerna, could be outflanked and the frontier passes opened to the allied forces which are now engaged northwest of Saloniki. The Fall of Monastir is considered as clearly showing the superiority of the allies over the German-Bulgar forces in view of the formidable defenses [[page cropped]]

LABOR LEADERS START LAST LAP OF CONVENTION
"Big Four" Expected to Arrive at Baltimore To-morrow.
ALL-IMPORTANT WEEK
President Gompers Says Says There Is Nothing That Would Prevent the Railroad Brotherhoods From Affiliating With the Federation.
Baltimore, Nov. 20.-An all-important week confronted the American Federation of labor to-day as it started on the last lap of its yearly convention here.
Garretson, Lee, Stone and Carter, heads of the railroad brotherhoods and the "Big Four" of the labor world, whose arrive is expected to bring to a head the eight-hour cobtroversy, were not here this morning and theur coming may be delayed until to-morrow.
The likelihood of the railroad brotherhoods coming into the fold of the American federation of Labr. after having held aloof so many years, is engrossing the attention of leaders and delegates. Such a move would bring more than 400,000 workers into the federation and consolidate practically all the organized labor of the country under a common head.

Closer Together Than Ever.
"We are closer together now than we have ever been before," said President Gompers to-day. "There is nothing of any moment that would prevent the railroad brotherhoods from affliating with the federation."
There is a widespread desire among the delegates to see the railroad men come into the fold, forget all the old differences and present a united front to "the enemy".
The question of what form the federation's indorsement of a univeral eight-hour day will take also a providing mrch difference of opinion. A majority of the leaders, including President Gompers and Vice President James O'Connell, who also was a member of the United States Industrial Relations committee, frankly do not want to see a universal eight-hour day come flatly by national legislation.

Want Law Other Ways.
"We'll get it in other ways," said O'Connell. "If the politicians can give it to us they also can take it away when their whim changes. We want it on a more solid foundation than that."
It is practically certain, however, that the convention will be in accord with the plans of the brotherhood chiefs.
Labor is going to demand a seat on the peace board when the European war closes. To  that end a committee is now working on a resolution which iwll be presented to the convention this week.

WILL FIGHT TO ABOLISH ELECTORAL COLLEGE
Senator Chamberlain Will Propose Amendment to the Constitution.
Special to The Herald
Portland, ore., Nov. 20.-Senator George E. Chamberlain will introduce a the ocming session of Congress a proposal to a constitutional amendment providing for the election of president by direct vote of the people, according to a formal statement issued to-day.
The statement says that he hopes to have it acted upon in time to become effective four years hence.
"The recent election demonstrated more sttrongly than over the desirability of electing the president by a direct vote," says the statement. "If five thousand votes in California had been changed that State would have gone for Hughes and he would have been elected, notwithstanding 400,000 more votes were cast in the nation for Wilson than for Hughes."

TUGBOAT BOILER BLOWS UP: 2 ARE KILLED, 9 HURT
Two Others, Missing, Believed to Have Sunk With Debris.
Special to The Herald.
New York, Nov. 20.-Without a second of warning the boiler of the tugboat Rambler exploded to-day in the East river, killing two persons and injuring nine. Two others missing are thought to have sunk with the debris of the boat.
The dead are Capt. Eugene Casey, the commander of the tug, and Andrew Pitts, engineer. It was Casey's first day aboard the craft. The missing are Frederick Zaane a deck hand and Frank Estabrook, a boatman.
The Williamsburg water front was covered with the wreckage of the boat. Ambulances were rushed from the Greenpoint hospital.
Hundreds hurried to the spot thinking that relatives or friends were among the dead or missing. The shock of the explosion shattered the windows of the Chelsea Fibre company's mill nearby, where 1,00 girls are employed. For a few moments there was danger of panic, but the coolness of foremen reassured the employes.

20 UNEXPLODED BOMBS FOUND IN SARNIA'S CARGO
American liner Caught Fire at Sea, But Not Damaged.
New York, Nov. 20.-Twenty unexploded bombs were found in the sugar cargo of the American steamship Sarnia upon her arrival at Cherbourg, France, after a voyage starting from New York on September 2d, during which the vessel caught fire from a cause unknown, according to Fourth Mate Wybrance of the Sarnia, who arrivel here to-day on the American line steamship New York from Liverpool.
Sugar made up the bulk of the cargo of the Sarnia and the barge Avondale, which she had in tow upon leaving New York. The fire at sea was extinguished without serious damage, Wybrance said, and the two vessels put in at Havre to discharge part of the cargo. It was not until they reached Cherbough that the sugar was unloaded. 
The Sarnia, before the war a Hamburg-American line steamship and since transferred to American registry, was cleared from New York by J. H. Winchester & Company, shipping broker, and was owned by the Hudson Bay [[page cropped]]]

WIDESPREAD INVESTIGATION OF RAILROAD PROBLEMS IS BEGUN BY CONGRESSMEN

NEWLANDS HINTS AT GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
River, Rail and Ocean Carrier Service to Be Studied.
TO MAKE COMPARISONS
Committee Will Contrast Government Ownership With control and Regulation-To Thrash Out Question of State Rights.
Washington, Nov. 20.-The joint congressional committee appointed to investigate a wide range of problems relating to railroads and other common carriers held at it first meeting to-day State railroad commissioners were to be heard first.

Investigation Widespread.
At frequent sessions during next six weeks the committee expects to receive the views of railway officials, financers, labor leaders, shippers, heads of express, telephone and telegraph companies and other students of transportation problems. The committee is to report by January 8th.
Among those who planned to attend the opening meeting was Warren H. Stone, chief of the Brotherhood od Locomotive Engineers, who is here with other brotherhood heads, to discuss their legislative programme for the coming session of Congress.
Representative Adamson, vice chairman of the joint committee and author of the eight-hour law, had an engagement to discuss prospective legislation with President Wilson to-day.

Newlands Outlines Purposes.
In opening the first session of the joint congressional committee to investigate railroad problems Senator Francis G. Newlands of Nevada, the chairman explained that the inquiry would cover a wide field.
He said: "It will relate to every phase of the transportation question, the rail carriers and the perfection of a harmonious system of transportation embracing rail, river and ocean carriers that will meet the demands of interstate as well as foreign commerce, and it will also be applied to telegraph and telephone lines, express companies and other public utilities.

To Study Government Ownership.
"It will embrace not only the subject of government control and regulation of these utilities, but also the wisdom and the feasibility of government ownership and the comparative worth and efficiency of government regulation and control as compared with the government ownership and operation."
He said it might not be possible to come to a speedy conclusion regarding all questions.
Referring to government ownership Senator Newlands said that other nations had adopted the system and that recenty under the stress of war almost all European governments had taken over the railroads.

Should Study Europe.
He added:
"Whether that will be a permanent taking over or only a temporary one, it demonstrated that in aocnditions of great crises, when autocratic powers must be given to the government, all [[page cropped]]
