ROCHESTER,. n. Y, September 22-
By vote that lacked one of being
unanimous, and that one not a delegate
from Reading, Pa, the convention of
the international Molders' Union of
North America yesterday voiced ap-
proval of the war policies of Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor. and adopted the
adverse report of the committee on
resolutions, on the resolution of CEN
sure, proposed by the Reading iocal
The committees report set forth that
no evidence had been presented by the
Reading delegation to support the
charges made in the resolution that
President Gompers had misrepresented
labor organizations which had affiliated
themselves with the workmen's council
and peoples council movements, or that
"he had exceeded his authority by
pledging support of the labor move
ment to policies relative to strikes dur
ing the war; or that he had used his
influence to prevent the sending of
delegates from the American Fedora
tion of Labor to the Stockholm confer
ence, or that his reactionary policies
has caused discord within the ranks of
organized labor"

structed RAPIDLY at Cantonments.

during the past week in the work OF
the committee on war activities Of the
Knights of Columbus in the erection Of

a board of construction composed Of
members of the order living close to
the seat of operations. which insures
a knowledge of local conditions and
the means for securing the best and
most skillful labor for the work. All

will be appointed for each cantonment.

troops into France.

GREEK TROOPS MOBILIZE.
Being Placed in Field With Aid of
France. England and U. S.

Greek troops are being smoothly and
swiftly modified and placed in the
field with the aid of France, England
and the United States. The remainder of
the army, with further aid, viii soon
be ready for active service.
Thereare already 10000 Greeks in the
fighting line Three hundred thousand
men will be under arms when the mo-
blization is complete.
This is the substance of advices from
Athens received by the Greek legation
in Washington. These dispatches state
that the reason the whole army has not
been mobilized is because of lack of
equipment, caused by waste during the
long and useless mobilization under the
former government of King Constan-
tine.
The Greek people. according to the
dispatches, are realizing the correctness
of Eenizelos' policies. He is growing
more popular with all classes of people.

 for yourself.

wnal gIrI or woman hasn't heard of lemon juice to remove complexion blemishes; to bleach the skin and to bring out the roses. the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white this way: Strain through fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into bottle containing about three ounces of orchard white. then shake we'll and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will remain pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face. neck. arms and hands it should help to bleach, clear. smoother and beautify the skin.
 Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very lit tie cost and the grocer has the lemons.
