AUSTRIANS AND GERMANS HAVE
 SHARP DISPUTE

NEW YORK, Nov l2.-An Am sterdam cable to the New York Times says a dispute has arisen between Germany and Austria over the dump ing by Germany of 100000 German recruits on Austrian territory for training. Austria protested against being obliged to supply rations for these men. The German government insisted that the troops be furnished with provisions available in the dis tricts to which they had been sent. As she could not get Vienna to agree to her point of view Germany has ap- piled pressure by stopping all Aus trian mails passing through Germany to Holland.

With the death of Queen Liliouka- Iaui has passed the last vestige of royalty in the Hawaiian Islands. The eighth and last monarch to hold sway over the entire group of insular group she reigned for only two years and that brief flicker of sovereignty was extinguished more than twenty years ago in revolution which led to the annexation of the islands to the Unit eel States. But notwithstanding her elfacemcnt from public affairs, Queen Liliuokalani never abandoned her roy al pose nor lost the affection of her former subjects. and continued to her death a most interesting personality
 She was born September 2, 1838 in Honolulu Her name was Lydia Ka- makacha. In her memoirs, Hawaii s History by Hawai's Queen,' she traced her ancestry back to the fom- dation of the Kamahameha dynasty and claimed relationship to the royal family of the five sovercigns by that name.
 LiHuokalani ascended the throne Of Hawaii January 29, 1891, immediate ly following the receipt of news from San Francisco that her brother King Kalakaua, had died there in the Pal cece hotel nine days previously. ka- lakaua, in November of the presecd- ing year had taken a trip to Caiifor- mia as the guest of Rear Admiral Brown on the United States cruiser Charleston, in order to recruit his failing health, but he failed rapidly.
 There was at that time mo trans pacific cable, so the news of the kings death reached Honolulu by the ship that bore his body. Preparations had been made to receive the returning monarch in elaborate style, but as the Charleston approached the har5or, she displayed the royal mourning sig nal and LiliuoI,alam knew before the vessel had docked that she was the new ruler of the Hawaiian Islands.

Over half of those aboard returned to the ship with a bottle on their hips" Officers of the Crook were at the gang plank to search the men for liquor and destroy it. The first half dozen men up the gangplanE lost their caches and then the word spread out of the search. The remainder of the passengers toss ed their goods over the side of the steamer to friends aboard and trouble started. The officers were unable to catch all of the bottles and there are many cases in the aggregate now aboard the transport.

Barge Matauuska Has Hard Time In Taking on Passengers and Is Finally Forced to Abandon
 Operations and Return

Steamer Mariposa, after remaining in the inlet off Anchorage for fifteen hours. was forced to return to Seward and discharge every pound Of her 800 tons of freight.

The hawser was made fast but the ice was toe strong and snap went the big lia, The Matanuska started drifting down the inlet and another barge went af- ter it, placed lines aboard and lowed it back. During the afternoon other attempts were made to reach the Mariposa, but all were hopeless en- deavors and at s o'clock Saturday. Capt. O'Brien pulled up anchor and started for Seward arriving here last night about 6 o'clock.

PRESIDENT WILSON
 MAKES ELOQUENT
 APPEAL TO LABOR
PRESIDENT WILSON

PRESIDENT WILSON
 BUFFALO, Nov. l2. - Prcslden. Woodrow Wilson made a personal and eloquent appeal here this afternoon for the full support of organized la. bor for the United States govern ment in the conduct of the present war
 President Wilson spoke before the annual convention Of the American Federation of Labor and the immense hall was crowded to capacity and thousands were denied admittauco a. the general public was allowed Go hear the address.
 The President declared that ta. war could not be won unless aH lao- tions unite in the common cause Of the country and sink their various a.I- ferences.
 President Wilson paid a strong ua- bute to Samuel Gompers, Presidcn. of the American Federation Of La Dor. and virtually called upon every member of the great federation C. give him their united support.
 The President took the opportm- ity to denounce in strong terms taa pacihsts and other critics and appeal ed for unitd cooperation. He sal. that the present time was more csu- cal than the world had yet known.
 Samuel Gompers introduced th. president, referring to the Chiei Exc cutive as "this spokesman for ire. dom; the man of Destiny and Che leader of thought and action among the nations of the world"
 The cheering that followed, when the President of the United State stepped to the front of the rosrum. was deafening and Iased several min utes during which time flags were waved and the National Emblem was sung with everyone in the vast assem- blaze on their feet.
 President Wilson declared fIat.y that Germany started the war and said that he was willing to await his tory's verdict on that statement. He said hat he war was the last decisive issue between the old principles Of power and the new principles of free dom.
 q believe that freedom, the req, spirit of freedom" said the President, "can get into the hearts of the Ger mans and find a welcome there. But the spirit of freedom does not suit the Pan-Germans plans. Power can not be used with concentrated force against free people if it is used by free peoples.
 President Wilson referred to tho Germans map of Europe and sai, that if she can keep that map. he. power can disturb the entire worll at any time. He said that Germany controlled Austria, Turkey, the Bal kans, Asia Minor and scattering peo pie elsewhere.
 "We must win this war and to vii it, all must be united in the one bi. cause. Pro-Germanism must be stamped out now. The Pro-Geman of America are doing more to hinde the United States now than any othe element. This element must be pu down and out and that right quickly. were the concluding remarks of tn President.
