The basis OF May Day was the Roman

dramatic performances, and dances, the

London, April 9-All the world looked
on while President Wilson forced Con-
gress to give him a left-handed vote of
confidence on March ! by tabling the
resolution against Americans taking pas
sage on armed liners. The immediate
result Of that vote was a move in Ber-
lin. made by the President, which res
suited in a sensational three-day strug-
gle between Won Tirpitz and Chancellor
Bethmann-Hollweg, the details of which
have been kept secret.
From a diplomatic source l have
learned in exact detail what happened in
Germany after the vote of Congress

nation reached London, feel that can
Youch for its substantial accuracy.

House after the vote in the House Am
bassadOr Gerard called up Bethmann-
HOllweg and conferred with him for
more than an hour. For some reason
known to himself. the chancellor let It
be known afterwards that peace was the
subject OF discussion, and speculation
based upon this false report was rife all
over the world for several days. What
Mr.. Gerard did do was to call the chan
cellor's attention to the Presidents de-
termination to uphold his demand that
unresisting merchantmen having Amerf-
cans on board, whether armed or not
must not be sunk without warning.

Late the same day. Grand Admiral Won
Tirpitz left Berlin for Mezieres. and. IL
may safely be assumed, was summoned
by the Kaiser as a result of what
Bethmann-HOllweg reported concerning
Gerard's statement Of President Wilson's
position.
The following day. March 10. a grand
council Of war was held, presided over
by the Emperor, to debate on what atti-
tude to take respecting America. Those
present were the Kaiser Won Tirpftz,
Bethmann-Hollweg, Dr. Helfferich., the
financial secretary and Gen. FaIkenhayn,

Largest Expansion in History of the
Retail Sales Organization Is
Under Way.

The directors Of the United Cigar Stores
have announced that $50 stores would
be added to the chain throughout the
country this year. This Is the largest
expansion ever planned in the body since
It's organization fifteen years ago, and
was undertaken, 1t was said, because
the concern has on hand the heaviest
surplus IN its history.
No new branches have been opened in
the last two years. as It was decided in
1913 that the trend in real estate values
made 1t inadvisable. Edward A Wise,
recently elected president of the corpora
ton. advised an advance on a large scale,
and the new stores will be opened soon.
The additions to the chain will bring
the number of stores owned by the com
pany to more than 1000. The new
branches will have the usual equipment,
soda fountains being installed mainly in
the establishments throughout the South,
where the receipts derived from this

President Compers Issues Proclamation Calling Upon All
Wage Earners to Unite in Solid Movement
Gain the Shorter Working Day

ers of the nation on the demands being
made in many industries for establish.
ment of the eight-hour day:
The now is a great time for the organ
lied labor movement.
Estimating progress made, discloses
substantial gains in wages, reductions in
hours of work and improvement in work
ing conditions.
Labor has learned the strength OF
unions and the collective protection of
their economic power.
They have learned that those who are
necessary to the worlds production need
not be the victims of employers oppres-
sion and greed.
They recognize no divine right to ex-
ploitation.
Enlighten Interest.
By enlightened self-interest, co-opera-
ton and the experiences accumulated
from the experience of years, they have
learned to take advantage of opportuni-
ties, to press home demands for greater
Justice. and to maintain their power
ready for use.
The fundamental demand that has been
urged with increasing success is the
eicht-hour work day.
The eight-hour movement is practical
humanitarian, conducive to higher pro-
duction and conservation of the workers
1t is irresistible.
One of the most notable achievements
was won by the miners in a militant cam.
paign for eight hours, when the recent
anthracite agreement was reached, ex-
