WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The al
lies watchword as proclaimed to the
world today through utterances of
the spokesmen of the three leading
nations is unity. coordination, sub
mergence of national aspirations for
international ones.
AS President Wilson was deliver
ing his notable plea for complete
solidarity of effort against Germany
to the American Federation of Labor
convention at Buffalo, Premier Lloyd
George of England and Premier Pain

the same text.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Carefull5
planned political offensives" In Rus
sia and Italy preparatory to military
orensives were cited by Secretary Of
War Baker today in his weekly wal
summary as CLEARLY revealing the
present methods of the Germans"
The review covering last weeks
war moves, declares the American ar
tillery on the fighting line In France
is acuuitting itself very creditably.
The German attack On a, small de-
tachment Of American troops in the
French trenches was described as a
shock attack for reconnaissance pur
poses.
I'm Italy the situation is develop
ing as normally as can be expected
under the circumstances" said Baker
THE Italian retreat, somewhat con
fused in it's early stages, has become
more orderly. Their morale is being
rapidly restored. Allied reinforce
ments have now formed a junction
with the Italians. The pressure OF
the enemy is no greater"
British capture of Passchendaele
and the Germans retirement from
forty square miles Of terrainef north
OF the Aisne are regarded by Bakers
experts as most important tactical
gains"
Reviewing the Russian situation the
statement said:
"It should be borne in mind further
disintegration Of the Russian force
will mean the Germans will be able
to thin out their line along the Rus
sian front, which will thus automatic
ally contribute to the stiffening Of the
resistance in the west, as well as rem
der available added contingents to
take part in Italy.
1.-The enemy instead of attacking,
has renewed efforts to fraternfze with
the Russians. Owing to the involved
political situation and the fresh out
break of the extremists, it Is prob.
able that these may have a marked in.
fluence on the general strategy of the
war, which we must be prepared to
meet"
Surveying the broader aspects OF
the European situation, Bakers ex
perts find that the enemy in the
east is confining his efforts to political
propaganda. Along the Italian sector
he has recently made desperate at
tempts to secure decision by means
Of politico-military drive. In the
west, while attempting to sap the
fighting strength of the belligerent
peoples, the enemy has now been com
PEELED to act on the defensive and is
being slowly, but surely, driven back.
British successes in Palestine and
Mesopotamia are confirmed.

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Nov. 19.-

The card with its message OF peace

1t was from a package destined for

Strike.
CHEERS AT CONVENTION

limited Press Leased Wire Service.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 13.-Build-
ing trades heads at the American
Federation of Labor convention here
today wired President Wilson asking
for a two hour conference to discuss
governm ent work conditions all over
the United States.
This request was precipitated by a
telegram from Secretary of War
Baker warning heads Of the building
trades that the strike at Quincy,
Mass, which is delaying work on
destroyer plant. must be quickly
settled.
The committee named to confer
with President Wilson was John H.
Donlin, William L. Hutchinson, Ed
ward J. McGovern and James Dun
can.
A flfth man is yet to be appointed.
Federation politicians are already
at work in the hotel lobbies. No
organized opposition to the re-elec-
ton of Samuel Gompers as president
was found today.
Discussion of the shorter working
day, working conditions, disputes
among the trades and further exten-
sion Of arbitration in controversies
with employers, were among the sub
jects scheduled for today's meeting.
President Gompers was to deliver
his annual address outlining the work
Of the federation during the past
year.
j. H. Johnson Of Buffalo, was
named assistant secretary of the con-
vention.
Delegate William H. Johnston of
the International Association Of
Machinists, addressing the conven-
ton, declared the machinists have no
Controversy with President Samuel
Gompers over his administration in
regard to his views on war and labor
questions nor with the United States
government, but will stand behind
President Wilson and all that he
stands for"
The machinists' union is one Of the
largest labor unions In the United
States. Johnsto n said he deemed
this public announcement desirable
because of ARTICLES which have ap
peared in newspapers which would
lead to the inference that the machin,
lists are opposed to the federation's
war policy and against some of Pres
ident Wilson's views on labor's part
in the war"
Johnston's speech was greeted by
cheers from the other delegates and
it was necessary for President Comp
ers to sound the gavel several times
to stop the applause. Gompers
smiled.

dent that Gompers' speech, post
