FOREIGN MINISTER SAYS NO MORE GERMAN MESSAGES
 WILL BE TRANSMITTED.
ASKS GERMANY TO EXPLAIN
Departure of Count WrangeI At Mo- ment When His Government Was Embarrassed By Washington Dis
 closures Caused Sensation.

Stockholm. Sweden realizes the Se- riousness of the situation created by the recent disclosures at Washington regarding the transmission of Ger man dispatches and expects to take all steps possible to put matters right, Foreign Minister Lindman told the Associated Press during an informal talk. All transmission of German dis patches had been stopped, he said, and Germany had been asked for an explanation of the abuse of the priyi- 1ege formerly extended.
 In the course of his discussion of the affair with the correspondent Ad- miral Lindman brought out the fol lowing points:
 ment was not as alleged in certain quarters, taking the affair lightly, but on the contrary realizes fully the se- rious aspect of the situation and in- tended to do everything possible to settle the problem.
 Second-That transmission of dis patches on behalf of Germany had been stopped absolutely from the mo- ment when the disclosures were brought to the foreign minister's at- tention and would under no circum- stances be resumed.
 Third-That had the Swedish gov ernment had the slightest idea of the nature of the dispatches which the German government was transmitting the messages would never have been transmitted
 Fourth-That strong representa- tions had been addressed to the Ger man government on the abuse made of this practice, accompanied by re- quest for explanation to which. how ever, no reply had yet been received.
 Admiral Lindman, during the en- tire conversation, seemed imbued with the desire to see the situation cleared up fully and completely on basis satisfactory to the United States and Sweden and in way to permit the continuance of the most friendly. cordial relations with the American government and people.
 London.-Count A. Wrangel, the Swedish minister to Great Britain, and the Countess Wrangel left Lon don for the continent on q few weeks leave of absence.

Tumultuous applause greeted the
declaration of several speakers at
the annual convention of the New
York State Federation of Labor that
protective standards for labor must
be maintained during war time as a
prime essential of national effective
ness, and that democracy must be
safeguarded in the United States.
eff we are to gain our real meas
ure of efficiency" said Governor
Whitman, I'VE must not permit our
people who are engaged in indus
trial pursuits to become apprehensive
that the standards erected for their
protection will be set aside"
Samuel Gompers asserted that he
had been a lifelong pacifist but is
supporting the government in this
war because "the gauntlet had been
thrown down to democracy" and un-
less the challenge was accepted, au-
tocracy would run rought-shod over
the peoples Of the whole world. Cur
ing the war;" he said, 81 propose to
see to it as best l can that the
standards of the American workers
do not deteriorate."

URGES HIGH STANDARD IN
SCHOOLS BE MAINTAINED

Commissioner Claxton, of the bu-
reau of education, addresses parent
teacher associations, mothers clubs
and similar organizations:
"While the war continues there
will be many unusual temptations to
keep children out of schools and diff
ficulties in maintaining schools at
their full state of efficiency 1t is of
the greatest importance that, they
shall be maintained and that attend
ance shall not decline. 1t is neces-
sary for the present defense of the
country, and for it's welfare and safe
ty after the war is over.
81 am suggesting to organizations
that they Immediately use all of their
influence in this direction. Of course
each organization will know what is
best to do for it's particular school
and locality"

ALLIANCE
LABOR AND DEMOCRACY

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 5.-Samuel
Gompers today pledged the united
support of organized labor to the
government in the prosecution of the
war, assailed the peace propagan-
dists, denounced as futile the activi-
ties of those attemting to split la
boris ranks on the question of war
He attacked the arguments of those
declaring the working class want
peace, and challenged the pro-Ger-
man societies to step into the open,
and match their disloyalty against
labor's loyalty.
His was the keynote speech at the
conference of the American Alliance
for Labor and Democracy, of which
Gompers was just elected permanent
chairman. He addressed 1000 acred-
tied delegates, labor leaders and for
mer socialist party leaders.
John Spargo, former member of
the socialist party executive commit
tee, was chosen as chairman; Frank
Morrison, secretary of the American
Federation of Labor, secretary; T. j.
Mead of Maryland, assistant secre-
tary.
Several members of the Peoples
Council of America for Democracy
and Peace were scattered through
the audience. Nc attempt was made
to remove them.
Gompers declared the request for
the government to state its peace
terms was playing into the enemy's
hands. The alliance, which met to
offset the work of such organiza-
tons as the Peoples Council, would
establish local branches throughout
the country.
Gompers, Frank P. Walsh and
others, predicted that in three
months the wave of patriotism will
have swept the disloyalists aside,
and thrown their activities open to
the eyes of the world.
In an address to the alliance,
Gompers declared for altruism of
Americas motives in entering the
war and denounced as a foolish con-
tention that a referendum should
have been taken before the declara-
ton of war He declared peace
talk would be proper after Germany
had departed from France, Belgium
and Serbia.
He declared there was no room for
the Conscientious objector. He COM
pared him to union members who
stayed on work when two-thirds or
three-fourths of the members of his
union had voted to strike He called
the traitor to country on a par with
the scab to his trade.

FRIGHTFULLY
DESTRUCTIVE
PROJECTHE

Geo. A. Burch, consulting en-
gineer Of San Francisco, has in
vented a terribly destructive pro
jectile, terrible weapon of war,
and has been offered commission
as captain of engineers, which he
will accept if allowed to superintend
the manufacture of his invention.
Regarding his invention Burch
said: at only remains for the
United States government to place
in active use this deadly and de
structive implement to master Ger
many. The scope of destructiveness
and fearfulness OF this invention is
beyond human conception. Its cheap
ness to manufacture, simplicity Of
construction and practicability make
it's adoption imperative"

eve are in this war, and as red
blooded Americans we are in it to
win," said John B. Andrews, secre-
tary of the American Association
for Labor Legislation, speaking upon
invitation of the Federation, "but
it would be a costly mistake to break
down any of the hardwon protec-
lions for labor. While fighting to
make the world safe for democracy
we must not sacrifice democracy here
at home"
John Mitchell, chairman of the
New York State Industrial Commits
sion, announced the determination of
the commission to uphold protective
labor laws in war as we'll as in
peace. National strength depends
upon the fitness of our industrial
army" he said, "quite as much as
upon the fighting forces"
Recent victories were reported in
many states in saving labor laws
against attempts to suspend them,
and it was announced that this
temporarily successful,
would be continued vigorously.
