'Time Has Come
For Common Counsel"

The Presidents speech follows.
"Mr. President, delegates Of the
American Federation Of Labor,
ladies and gentlemen: | esteem it
a great privilege and real honor
TO be thus admitted TO your public
councils. When your executive
committee paid me the compliment
of inviting me here | gladly ac-
cepted the invitation, because it
seems to me that this, above all
other times in our history, is the
time for common counsel for the
drawing not only of the energies
but of the minds of the nation TO-
gether. | thought that it was a
welcome opportunity for disclosing
70 you some Of the thoughts that
have been gathering in my mind
during the last momentous months.
~ am introduced TO you as the
President Of the United States,
and yet | would be pleased if you
would put the thought Of the Of
flee into the background and re-
gard me as one of your fellow
citizens who has come here TO
speak, not the words of authority,
but the words of counsel, the
words which men should speak to
one another who wish TO be frank
in a moment more critical perhaps
than the history Of the world has
ever yet known, a moment when
it is every mans duty TO forget
himself, TO forget his own inter-
ests, to fill himself with the no.
bility of a great national and
world conception, and act upon a
new platform elevated above the
ordinary affairs Of life, elevated
to where men have views Of the
long destiny of mankind.

BolsheUiki Still Hold
Petrograd; Many Die in
Fierce Street Fighting

PETR0GRAD, Nov. 12.-The feeling
in the capital has changed acutely
The incidents Of yesterday reused the
worst passions Of the populace, and
exeesses were committed. The Bolshe-
wiki are still in full control.
Early yesterday the Constitutional
Democrats sided with the committee
for the Salvation Of the Revolution.
They occupied different institutions,
evidently under the impression that
Kcrensky's troops were approaching
and would arrive in support. In spite
Of the armored car in front Of the
telephone station, the Constitutional
Democrats, or Cadets. succeeded in
occupying the premises.
7 same thing occurred at the post
oaice and 81 the Michael Riding School,
which was used as the headquarters
for armored cars. The summer palace
OF the Emperor Paul, nov military
school, also was captured.
Rcd Guard Rallies
Then the soldiers Of the Red Guard,
greatly infCriated, after determined
effort. succeeded in driving the Consti-
ig.ional Democrats out Of the places,
and these were recaptured with little
bloodsned, but in other parts of the
town the struggle was more severe,
with heavy loss Of life.
Later IN the morning soldiers ap-
preached the Vladimir military school
and demanded the surrender of the
Constitutional Democrats. This was re-
fused, the Constitutional Democrats re-
solving 20 resist 70 the last. Light field
guns were brought uD, and the bonn

fight lasted from 8 a. m. until p. m,

A few were brought into the street un-

them, but q cOmmissary Of the Bolshe-
wiki interfered and was nearly lynched

thrown into the river. The fate Of the
remainder is unknown.
The telephone station was also be-
tieged and rifles and Maxims were
used. For several hours the Constitu-
tional Democrat mounted a strong
guard a. the station, supported by
srmored cars. One caterpillar car
pstrolled the vicinity. During its abb

Invaders Driven Back on

Claims to Have Cut OFF
Defenders in Upper
Piave Valley
[BY The Associated pressl

ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTHERN ITALY, Nov. 12.-The
Italians are holding the Austro-Ger-
man advance on the Piave line. Early
reports from the front to-day were
favorable.
Heavy shelling is in progress all
along the new front.
The Italians are intrenched back OF
the west bank Of the Piave River, and
the Austro-German main force ls now
taking the place of the advance guard
on the east bank. The strip of water
between the opposing lines is about
half a mile, widening at some points
to a mile.
An observer just back from tour
along the line told the correspondent
that the cannonade had become con-
tinuous. The Austrian5 are using
5-inch guns, not yet having brought up
many of their heaviest pieces. The
enemy is turning his fire against the
high campanile bell towers OF small
villages frlnglng tne western oaHh ="
prevent the Italian artillery from using
them as observation posts.
Italian Reply Spirited
The Italian artillery reply is spirited
from a considerable number Of guns
they succeeded in bringing back from
the old front.
The battle front has :wo main sec
tors. The lower extends from Feltre
to the sea, and the upper from Feltre
westward. The Vidor bridge, where
the last Italian rearguards crossed the
Piave, is half way down the lower sec
tor. Near Feltre the river turns into
the mountains, with q valley and a
railway on the west bank
The enemy is on the west bank IN
this mountain region, and may attempt
20 come down the valley and along the
railway. The Italians have no advan-
tage Of river defence at this point,
but they have strongly intrenched
themselves.
The fight at Asiago was clearly a
feeler to test the strength OF the ltai-
ian line. Snow is falling in the upper
regions and severe cold prevails.

A GIRL IN THE WAR CAPITAL

Washington, Dec. 24.-America's g
war capital is no place for the woman
who loves pleasure Pleasure simply
isn't there.
For years Washington has slept
contented with itself and it's social
life. Former winters have had their
little dinners, their little dances and
their little suppers, and the pleasure
seekers have gone to New York OIL
Philadelphia for their pleasures
Washington slept on.
Now the national capital ginds 1t
self in the midst of ag reat boom
There are hundreds Of newcomers
here who love pleasures and need 1
after the strenuous days. Washing
ton has nothing to offer them.
Other cities offer cafes and restau
rants. where there are bright light
and music for tired and straine'
nerves. Washington has nothing o

do offer music are managed by mel
