President Wilson Has
Performed For the People
His Biggest Service!

The chances are bright at this writing
Cor settlement of the differences be-
tween the railroad workers who had
called general strike for Labor Day, and
their employers.
Congress, quite apparently, is going to
spass the laws suggested by President
Wilson with the single exception of the
one making arbitration compulsory. Such
law would not stand the test of consti-
nationality.
"A compulsory eight-hour law will be
eynssed and that law in itself will be suffi
dent to satisfy the railroad workers and
keep the wheels of freight cars moving.
IL The workings of this law will be
watched by commission to be appointed
~ the president, which commission will
seport to congress later on, so that con-
Gress can be Judge of whether it is to
W0rk hardship to the railroads.
This plan of settlement seems fair to
both sides, and fair, also to the public,
Which is pretty well agreed that eight
hours should constitute days work.
What has complicated the situation
ocanewhat and made it difficult to under
stand the exact demands of the men and
ne position of the employers, is the fact
that trainmen do not work by the hour,
Ut all.
They work by the mile, 10 of which
constitute a railroad hour, and are not
paid overtime until they have worked
400 miles or 10 hours.
They ask to be put on fiat eight-hour
basis, no matter how many miles are
covered, or how many hours days run
fails short of the eight.
Herein lies the unreasonableness of
the demands made by the workers, ac-
cording to the railroad heads.
The beauty of President Wilson's plan
of settlement is, that if an eight-hour
day for railroad workers should prove
unreasonable. neither the railroads nor
he public will be called upon to suffer
tm Il after the commission has so re-
ported, ~ . result of its investigation.
President Wilson's program arranges,
- ! matter Of fact, for arbitration, be-
cause arbitration is nothing more than
The men will get their claims in this
case, however, pending arbitration.
When congress has acted upon Presi-
dent Wilson's plan and made it law, he
Win or should be stronger than ever with |
the people of the country.
He will or should be stronger than ever
with capital, for at every turn his activi-
tes and his interests have been prompted
By an apparent spirit of fairness and
desire to do the greatest good to the
greatest number.
Il requires only a moments thought
for anybody to comprehend the state Of
Affairs that would exist were the carriers
% the country to stop for any consider
oble length of time.
Exactly that state of affairs is what
the president appears at this hour to have
Inverted, and in so doing he has given us
nrther reason TO praise God for him.

GERMAN PAPERS RAP CARDINAL MERGER
Yolks Zeitang Inquiries Whether
 Events Were Accidental

Berlin, Feb. 22, by Wireless to Say ville.-Cardinal Mercier's recent ut- terances, and actions while in Rome are discussed today by the German newspapers, says the Overseas News Agency, which adds:
 The Vossische Zeitung points out that While the primate of Belgium was In Rome he was received by the Italian members of parliament, Sig nors Lorant and Destree, who are both well known Free Masons Sig nor LOrant was the eXecutor of the last will of Professor Francisco Fer Ter, the anarchist, who was executed in Spain in 1909, which proves that Cardinal Mercier is a very active politician.
 The Catholic newspaper Koel- nische Volks Zeitung today publishes a leading article entitled Was it by Eaccident?' The newspaper recalls Cardinal Mercier's pastoral letter dated Sept. 21, 1915, in which he compared the Germans With Lucifer and urged Belgians to pray in the churches for Germany's defeat when the AnglO-French offensive began.
 "The newspaper asks whether it also was mere accident that the cardinal forgot to submit his pas toral letter to the German censor.
 'The Volks Zeitung then asks whether Cardinal Mercier while in Rome met the French premier M. Briand, by accident. It declared that Premier Briand is considered by by Catholics an enemy of the church. The newspaper further asks whether it was only by accident that a wire less message sent out by the Eiffel Tower declared that Cardinal Mer- cier had furnished to Premier Briand proof of German atrocities
 "The Volks Zeitung says that form erly there had been a working ar rangement between the German authorities and the primate of Bel gium but it says it is doubtful whether this still is possible after Cardinal Mercier's agitation in ROme.'

AMERICAN PEOPLE
 PRO-ALLY- Y--BRYCE
No Danger of Trouble Between
 England and U. s. A.

Paris, Feb. 22, 4 a. m.-Viscount Bryce, who heads the British delega- tion of twenty-five members of both houses of parliament to the Anglo French parliam entary committee, which is to hold meetings here today and on Wednesday and Thursday, has given an interview to the Paris Jour- nal. ''The situation in the United States is much too complicated and changes too quickly from day to day." he said flor me to be able to form any conjectures as to the manner in which events concerning the Wash ing government are liable to deVel- op. There is, however, one thing which should be known and it is that the sympathies of the great majori- ty of the American people go out clearly and indisputably for the al lies I never had the slightest fear of real difficulties arising between the United States and the allies, because it is hardly necessary for me to say that there are historical reasons why a genuine friendship should be felt in the United States for France and Great Britain.''
 Lord Bryce expressed his satisfac- tion at the fall of Erzer4m. He said:
 Armcnians Greatest Sufferers.
 The cause of the Armenians is es- pecially dear to me. There is no peo- pie in the world which has suffered more. It has been a victim, not of re- ligious fanaticism, but of cold-blood- ed7 premeditated hatred on the part of the brigands who term themselves the Turkish government and who do not intend to permit the existence of any national vitality except in their own element"
 'The great problem which the allied governments will have to face at the end of hOstilities.'' Lord Bryce said will be the creation of some instru- ment able for all time to prevent a conflagration such as now plungcs Europe in desOlatiOn."

PARLIAMENT FAVORS
 TWO BILLION CREDIT
War Cost to England Less Than
 $25,000,000 Daily

London, Feb. 22.-The British par liament last night passed new votes of credit to the amount of 420,0O0,- 900 pounds, ($2,1OO,OOO,OOO This is expected to carry the war to the end
 of May, bringing the total credit since
 the outbreak of the war to 2,0S2,0O0,-
 900 pounds ($1O,410, 900, ,O00)-a
 sum, according to Premier Asquith,
 Not only beyond precedent, but actu- ally beyond the imagination of any tinancier of this or any other country.
 Parliament was occupied yesterday entirely with financial questions. Premier Asquith spoke for fifty minutes in presenting the govern ments motion for the new war credits. The chancellor of the ex- chequer, Reginald McKenna, followed with a statement regarding American exchange, which, he said, was now as high as the British government wished it to be.
 War Cost Less Than S25,OOO,0OO Day.
 The point emphasized by Premier Asquith was not the enormous total recessary for the war, but the fact that by careful economy and safe guards the government had succeeded in holding down the expenditure well below 5,0O0,000 pounds a day, which figure he thought unlikely to be ex- ceeded at any time.
 T feel the enormous and over whelming responsibility in asking the house for this gigantic sum- said the premier, "and could not do so unless was satisfied that the government had most carefully explored the ground. so that we are not asking for penny more than the eXigenc1es Ot cur cause and the great historic re- responsibilities which we have under 's. ken require, and unless we are sa tisfied that every possible precau- tion is being taken to see that the tax payers money is not being wasted
 England Loans Allies $485, ,OOO, ,OOO.
 Touching on the loans to England's allies MT. Asquith said that the amount had now grown to nearly 1 69,000,000 pounds to which must be added loans to the allies by the Bank of England at the request of the British Government. The amount of this latter item was not made clear by the Premier, but ., he promised that the provision in the September budget, auoting 423,OOO,O0O pounds for loans to the allies, should not be exceeded.

CANAL OPEN SOON.
Definite Announcement Expected
 Within Two Weeks.

Panama, Feb. 22.-The progress made in removing the debris from the Gaillard Cut has been so rapid in the last two months that an announce ment relative to the definite time for the reopening of the canal is expected within two weeks.
 When the waterway is cleared the news will be cabled to Major General George w. Goethals, governor of the zone, in Washington, and he will de- clare the canal again open to traffic.
 According to survey completed last night, there is an average depth of thirty feet throughout the entire cut and a width of probably 250 feet These figures change slightly daily Cwins to the shifting of dredges and also to the continued movement of earth from both banks. In spite of the short month it is expected that upward of 100000 yards of the slide will be removed by the dredges.

 Escape To Be PrObcd

New York, Feb. 22.-Ignatius T.. Trebltsch Lincoln, who, despite the de- 1lals or the Allies, maintains he is one of the most important and most able or German spies, remained in solitary confinement in the Raymond straa+ jail, Brooklyn. yesterday. althonob bo was dHAlous to see .neWSpaper mon and, according to a government q gent was" "fretting to be in+ervio1nod ,, While a certain line of investio.+ion ie under way the government authorities will keep Lincoln from talking. Later he is to be permitted to talk to his hearts content.
 The agents of the department of ius- tice bureau of investigation are malx- ing an Investigation to find out what persons innocently, or knowinelv shielded Lincoln during the five weeks he was at large.

 Brltlsh authorities in this country have assured the government that Lincoln is not wanted in England as a spy, which they say he is not and nev- CT was, but simply as an ordinary for ger who affixed the name of a prom - lnent British subject to a check.
 A New Yorker. who is interested i n the oil fields of Rumania. said Lincoln was the most monumental egOist' il7 the world.

Shortage of Dyes Means We Must Re- strain Our Desires For Gay Raj a
 ment, Says Dept. of Commerce.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Clothing manufacturers of the United States are so short of dyestuffs that a. nation wide appeal is to be made to the pulp lie to recognize the fact that it must content itself with the simplest col css in apparel. This was announced at the department of commerce after a conference between department Offi- cials and officers of the National As sociation of Clothiers.
 In spite of the fact that domestic manufacturers of dyestuffs are now producing mere dyestuff material than ever before and their output is grow ing, the production is scarcely su1ti- 4cient as yet to meet more than one half the demand" the departments s statement said, and the" variety of colors now produced by the domestic manufacturer is limited
 Tt should be recognized for the pesent that the grades of colors which heretofore have existed universally and have been demanded by the con- suming public in the United States :. cannot now always be obtained and that in spite of every effort manufact- urers of clothing and textiles are un- able to supply the same quality of ma terial which they furnished prior tc the European war"
