Northwest Backs
Wilson S Plea for
Loyal Service

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 16.-As a
demonstration of the loyalty of Mime
sofa and the whole Northwest, repre-
sentatives from every county of this
state and the other commonwealths
gathered here tonight and affirmed
their purpose to stand back of the gov
eminent in its prosecution of the war
against Germany. The audience,
through adoption of resolution,
pledged its support in deeds, sacri-
fees and service" as a message from
President Wilson, read at the meeting,
suggested.
The message from the President was
as follows:
Nothing could be more significant
than your gathering to express the
loyalty of the great Northwest. II
it were possible | should gladly be
with you. You have come together
as representatives of that Western
empire in which the sons Of all sec
tions Of America and Of the stocks Of
all the nations of Europe have made
the prairie and the forest the home
of a new race and the temple of 8
new faith.
"The time has come when that home
must be protected and that faith af-
firmed in deeds. Sacrifice and service
must come from every class, every
profession. every party, every race,
every creed, every section. This is not
a bankers war, or farmers war, or
a manufacturers war, or a laboring
mans war-it is a war for every
straightout American, whether our
flag be his by birth or by adoption.
We are to-day a nation in arms, and
we must fight, farm, mine and manu-
facture. conserve food and fuel, save
and spend to the one common pur-
pose.
at is to the great Northwest that
the nation looks, as once before IN
critical days, for that steadiness OF
purpose and frmness OF determine
tion which shall see this struggle
through TO a decision that shall make
the masters Of Germany rue the day
thew unmasked their purpose and
challenged our Republic"
T. P. O'Connor, Irish member of the
British Parliament, taking as his text
an American flag which he held in his
hand. dwelt on the opportunities af-
forded immigrants to this country as
the basis for loyalty that should be
untarnished by divided allegiance.

Cling foreign alliances warning not

murdered here last night, the police say,

Trepich, a boarder in the Alar house;
The skull of each had been crushed

each body mutilated with knife.
On a kitchen table in the home of the
Alars was note, written in an Aus

Henry Ford previous to the an
nouncement of his appointment by
Chairman Hurley was plainly full OF
the idea of standardizing government
work. :,
"The thing am kicking about around
here is the lack Of Standardization"
said Mr.. Ford. What we want Is one
type of ship built in large numbers.
II is the same with this as with any
great industry. No automobile plant
ever succeeded that attempted TO build
several types of cars.
"The way to succeed is TO find one
type of ship that is best fitted for work
in the submarine zone and which can be
built fastest, and centre all effort on
It's construction. We have succeeded
already in standardizing construction
Of airplanes. We are helping with that
in our plant. What we want is to ex-

Yesterday was an important day

Colonel E. NJ. House, head of the

satisfactory progress and declared
that America was bringing about
real coordination among the Allies.
During the day he conferred with
Lord Northcliffe and later dined with
Premier Lloyd George.
From Washington comes the re-
port that the government is not sat
isfied with Lloyd Georges war
council plan and demands body

powers. Colonel House is doubtless
urging this view in London.
1t is also felt in Washington that
