FIRST HAND REPORTS
Wilson Seeking to Learn
of Civil Conditions in
Allied Countries

Washineton, Oct 2s.--From a mum
ber Of prominent Americans recently
returned from European war fronts,
President Wilson is gathering first
hand testimony concerning conditions
there and among civilian populations
of Americas allies. Men who have
made observations within the last few
weeks across the water have been
welcome visitors TO tho White House,
where they have been piled with ques-
tions by the President.
So far the answers almost universal
lv have been that the great mass of
civilians of France, England. Russia.
Italy and other allies want no cessa-
ton of the war until Germany's men
ace IS removed. Peace agitation food
riots and other seeming indications of
dissatisfaction report9d occasionally
by cable from allieds countries, are
said to he caused by only small pro-
portions of the people and represent
the spirit of the nations no more than
erica's ideas.
Russia holds the Presidents special
interest. DR.. Frank Billings. the Chi
cago physician who headed the Am
erican Red Cross special mission to
that country. gave him strong assur-
ance that the Russian common peo-
pie wish passionately for the defeat
OF German militarism and intrigue and
have little thought of counting peace
until that result is accomplished. The
radical Bolsheviki pacifsts. he said.
are a small minority.

Army Of Orient Protects
Front Extending $50 Miles

Gen. Sale at the Koritza front. which
makes the junction with the ltalian
army in AlbaLia.
This is a huge front with not far
from . divisions guarding its whole
length. Ii is composite army with
generals, princes and pashas on the
roster of the supreme command.
The latest fighting has been in the
Monastir region. where three big lakes
lie at the point where Serbia Mace
donia and Albania come together. Here
the French offensive has made for
ward drive of 40 miles from Pogrida. at
the foot of Lake Ochrida- OF Padahodja
far up on the west shore of the lake.
Besides the lighting an immense
amount Of construction is being done
along the whole front with a network
Of splendid roads for the quick shift
Ing of troops. substantial bridges of
steel and masonry. and vast camps of
supplies and ammunition.
EVERYTHING is being done with the
evident purpose of permanency and
there is no evidence of withdrawal,
now or later on. On the English front
there has been some shifting of troops
10 Mesopotamia and Palestine but the
great bulk of Gen. Mines British
forces continue their effective grip on
the 80 mile stretch from the Aegean
sea to the Eardar river.
General Sarrail makes frequent visits
tc the front going to Monastir or some
other point as an offensive is delivered.
Each Of the allied armies has a staff Off
Ger near Gen. Sarrail TO keep in touch
with every branch of the organization
Ma. bavis of the United States army has
1ust oeen added 70 these staff officers, The
sign on Mai. Davis Office reads: "Ameri-
can liasson officer"
Gen Sarrail is credited with being a
good Giplomatst as well as a good gem
eral An instance of his diplomacy oc-
CURED when Monastir was taken. The
French. having made the capture, natu-
rally wanted to enter the city first But
as Monastir is a Serbian city the Ser
tian troops felt they should enter first.
The Italians also had claims.
Gen. Sarrail was equal to the situation.
You will all three enter first" said he
The French from the east the Serbs
from the south and the Italians from the
west"
And at the appointed hour each army
marched forth from its appointed side and
All three met and cheered in the central
market place.
what lies ahead of the army Of tho
Orient is partly military question and
partly political The military authorities
are united in the view that this Balkan
front must ne held as a vital link in the

they believe that the greatest stroke Of
strategy in the war can he made here by
a move on the right flank which will cut
through to the Black sea and sever Ger
many from Turkey But the political
councils Of the Entente Allies. which CO.
ordinate all their movement have thus
! far ruled that the supreme effort shall

BACK FROM EUROPE
Prof. J Q h n son Has
Praise for People Of
France

Prof. Clarence r. johnson OF Colby
years leave OF absence in Europe,
occupied the pulpit of the Unitarian
church Sunday morning and was Civ
en- close attention while he told OF his
experiences and observations in
France and other countries.
Prof. Johnson said that if the Ger
mans had won at the battle of the
Marne the civilized world would have
been retarded 1000 years. Paris is hut
taken and then the Germans would
nave invaded England and it would
have been but ;<nother step to Canada
and America. Continuing he said:
81 heard it stated by a high military
officia' in France that that country
would lose between 100000 and L.
100000 as q result of the war but
from all | have seen and heard I
should say the figures would be nearer
1000, 900. If America can have 1000, :
900 men in France by next spring l
believe that ii will prove a great i'm
petus toward the final victory over
the Germans.
II have heard il often stated since
my return from Europe that France
was about to give up just before Am
erica came in. but ! believe this is far
from the truth. France is tired She
has borne the strain Of this titanic
struggle for three years. But she will
not give lID The French peOple in
tend to- fight TO the bitter end and
this slogan is on the lips Of everyone.
In all walks of life you encounter an
unmistakable loyalty to the country.
France knows Germany as no other
country can. It has lived in the shad-
ow Of that menace for more than 40
Years. II would like now to shake
off this burden France is fighting for
something more than just 10 save its
own country. 1t is fighting to do away
with all war There IS wonderful
feeling Of friendship in France for Am
erica"

ANT|-AID AMENDMENT
c ardin al O'Connell
Leads Catholic Feder-
alton in Opposition

Boston, Oct. 3.-Cardinal o'Conneu in
a speech before the semi-annual conven-
ton of the Archdiocesean branch Of the
Catholc Federation today opposed the So
called anti-aid amendment to the state
constitution on which the people will
vote at the election No. as "undemo-
cratic, unjust. absolutely short-sighted
and absolutely injurious to the welfare Of
the state Of Massachusetts.
The proposed amendment will prevent
the state from giving financial assistance
to sec:arian institutions.
The convention went on record against
the measure in resolutions which were
unanimously adopted, The resolutions
termed the amendment UNNECESSARY.
against religion. subversive Of virtual and
morality. a concession TO ignorance and
bigotry and against the best interests of
the commonwealth"
In explaining his attitude Cardinal
o Connell said the institutions which
would be affected were aiding the state
In ways in which the state itself is power
less to act. or at least in which the state
has wisely inhibited itself from action, as
for instance in the matter Of religion and
the teaching Of morality based upon re-
ligion.'
He also referred to what he termed
''the very practical consideration that
these institutions save the state immense
sums of money which were it not for
these private Institutions It would be alb
solutely necessary for It to expend.
"A wise government especially If that
government be a democracy" he contin-
ued. not only welcomes the existence Of
these private beneficent, benevolent insti-
tutions. but from time to time as neces-
sity or need urges aids them in the meas
ure II finds itself able to do, as by mod
crate financial assistance equivalent to
very much less than that which the state
would otherwise be compelled to expend.
and by the negative method OF exemptins
them from taxation"
