PRESIDENT CABLES
DEMAND FOR UNITY
Executive Sends Message to Allies
Through Col. House.

The demand for unity Of action by
the allies has been personally and
forcefully voiced by President Will
son. 1t was learned last night that
he has cabled this demand to Col
House in London.
To the brutal frankness" OF Lloyd
George it is believed here that the
President has added some more
plain talk"
The President has been determined
ever since Col. House and his stan
Of experts started for Paris that the
action Of the entente against Ger
many must be subjected to a unified
control.
In the internal political develop
ments Of the last few days in Lon
don, observers here have seen the
symptoms of ragged nerves among
the politicians opposed to Lloyd
George. The questioning of the
premfer's plans is recognized not Sc
much as a selfish political move on
the part OF his old opponents. It is
regarded rather as an indication that
Britain's political nerves are getting
jagged under the strain of three
years Of war with no apparent end in
sight.
Were there real and solid opposi-
tion to the plans Of the premier for
unified control at Paris, it is not be-
lieved that the President would speak
in this way. 1t is believed that his
words are merely intended as q
steadying influence. The necessity OF
union Of the closest kind among the
allies 10 so obvious that it IL be-
lieved here the President is merely
speaking to show the restive ones In
Britain that the surest way out OF
Seir difficulties Is to acceed whole
heartedly to the plan of a single
head for all allied operations.

AS G0D-GIVEN
GENIUS OF WAR
Rev. DR.. Gordon Declares
Only Master Mind Can
Terminate World War.

Loud applause from a large congre-
cation greeted the sentiments express
ed by the Rev. James L Gordon, pas
tor Of the First Congregation Church,
In his sermon yesterday morning when
he declared his belief that "the Lord
has given America a great general in
the person of President Woodrow Will
son.
DR.. Gordon's subject was why is
Germany Always Winning?" q theme
inspired by one OF the queries in his
question drawer.
Taking as his text Joshua III:5
''Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow
the Lord will do wonder among you,"
he denied that Germany is winning.
On the other hand, Russia is not yet
conquered and the SHOWS are falling:
the advance into Italy already has
cost 5000 German lives and has come
to a standstill. while the toll of Ger
man lives at Verdun was -. 900, and
had ended in defeat.
Germany's whole. western campaign
was a failure at the same ratio. The
failure of German submarines was
pointed out as showing that Ger
many's setback in this respect was
more than fourfold the gain resulting
from the Italian drive, as Germany
had pivoted everything on its sub
marriage campaign, even to the point
Of ris&ing the friendship Of the Unit
ed States.
In short, the German flag has been
banished from the seas, her ports
blockaded and her trade bases de-
stroyed in Great Britain, American
and the far East.
DIR. Gordon deemed it wise for the
Germans to bear in mind the philoso-
phical utterance of Gen. Grant: Re
member. the enemy Is quite as much
afraid Of US as we are of the enemy"
As it stands, the Germans are bob
bing back and forth like a shuttle
cock in a limited area, and 1t merely
Is a question Of time when they will
wear themselves out, said DR.. Gordon.
Master Mind Needed.
Whether the war shall continue two
or fve years, he declared, depends on
the discovery of a general with a
master mind. The art of war prac-
tlcally has been the same through all
ages, and its science pivots on gem
eralship. he thought.
DR.. Gordon quoted Napoleon's theory
that 1t were better to have an army
Of sheep led by a lion than an army
Of lions led by a sheep. Every great
general has invented new methods of
warfare. Decision of character was
an essential factor, and lack of res
oiution more fatal than dearth Of
money, men or material.

There's not many who realize the

There is nothing bad but what she

I'VE are at war. This Is a time
for speedy and effective action. Be
shining with the Congress Of the

humblest and lowest in the land, the
government must take every offender
