A. F. OF [. EXPECTED
TO ACT ON DEFENSE
Council, In Session Here, Likely
to Outline Labor's Position
on Preparedness.

The executive council OF the Ameri-
can Federation OF Labor, in quarterly
session here. is expected to state It's
position on the preparedness question.
So far no military question has been
submitted. But several labor organi-
zations have voted to support the de-
fense plans. Some OF them went so
far as to propose to help militia or
ganizations.
II IL expected, therefore, that the
council will take the present oppor-
tunity TO deflne the attitude OF the
organization generally.
President Samuel Gompers has stat
ed his Views on the subject in a gem
eral way several times recently by
coming out for adequate national de-

one OF the most difficult phases of the

When Il IL realized that Philadelphia

daily. the magnitude and Importance
OF the undertaking win be better un :
derstood.
Hundreds OF persons who will come
from long distances to attend the

then enters the large dining room.
where there are tables capable of TAX

Every one will stand while eating,
there being no chairs. The reason for
this Is that. due TO the large crowds

has arranged for each person TO pass

his space to another. IL is only In such
way that II will be possible TO ac-

Just what food should be served on

Comment of Press On
Observation-Disclosures

members OF Congress against the
Presidents foreign policy.
Naturally enough, the President
has refused to acquiesce IN uer-
mqny's action. As he says In his
letter to Senator stone, he cannot
believe the central powers mean
what they appear TO say. but
whether SO or not "our duty IL
clear" and the President makes IL
clear he will not be budged from
that course OF duty.
Should Congress overrule the Pres
idont In this matter Americans
would have no rights that any pei-
hgerent was bound to respect. n
one pledge could be torn up at the
will OF Germany. all pledges that
hamper belligerents could be torn
up by any country that believed II
would profit thereby. -
Congressional protests against the
Presidents firmnesb In thfs matter
must be comfort and a consoia-
ton to Berlin. If the issue ever
comes to a vote, the President WIFI
be sustained. II II does not come TO
a vote, he will be sustained anyway.
Germany has invaded Congress,
but Congress is not yet another Bel
gium.

New York Sun.

The most disgruntled critic OF
President Wilson would not counset
the substitution In his place OF the
assembled Congress, for with its as
sumption OF authority the end or
progress toward settlement OF any
dispute would be reached.
No sane man, after the exhibition
that was given on Wednesday. can
for a moment believe that the condi-
tions of our foreign affairs would be
bettered by injecting into them q
more powerful Congressional infiu-
ence than that which obtained yes
terday.
We say (which obtained yester-
day. because the occurrences OF the
preceding twenty-four hours must
have had an illuminating efrect In
the White House.
II within its walls there has hith-
erto been any Misunderstanding OF
doubts and questionings that have
sprung up in the minds OF Repre-
sentatlves, and which correctly re-
fleet the misgivings of all Americans
that misunderstanding has now been
swept away.
Al present we cannot assess the
injury that has been done to Amer
lea abroad by this remarkable, we
believe unprecedented, uprlsing. The
duty of all Is to repair II as quickly
and as thoroughly as may be; and
II President Wilson has properly
apprised It's Significance he will turn
Il to good account in correcting those
tendencies of his foreign policy
which gave the uprising the excuse
for It's beginning.

whether the President Of the United

II is to the credit of the President
that he realiBes the futility OF fur
ther negotiations, that he intends TO
adhere to the demands which have
so far been refused. that he declines
to permit Congress to humiliate him
and the nation before all the world.
What possible motive or excuse can
Democratic leaders have for trying
to wreck a Democratic Administra-

cans willing TO pay for peace the
price OF shameful cowardice?

HOPE 10, COOPERSTOWN 6

The Cooperstown High School
football team came over Satur-
day afternoon and tried conclu.
sions with the local high school
team with the final score as stat
ed above. Coach Morton had
been working the home team
hard for the past three weeks
and had them in good shape for
the game and during the first
two quarters of the game played
the visitors off their feet, making
two touchdowns and kicking one
goal. In the third and fourth
quarter, however, they did not
make as good a showing and
we're on the defensive most of
the time and the visitors sue
ceeded in crossing their goal for
a touchdown but failed to get a
chance to kick goal by dropping
the kickout.
The Hope boys show a decided
improvement in all departments
of the game over their work last
year and should win another
game on Saturday afternoon
when they meet Tower City. 1t
is hoped that a larger crowd will
turn out to witness the game
and encourage the boys along.
