Direct and Uneouivocal State
ment to Entire World Of
War Aims of Com
bined Nations.
AVOID ALL SUSPICION
American Commission In Europe
Seeks to Insure Declaration
Which Will be Bind
ing to All.

[By Ed L. Keen, United Press Stan
Correspondent
[Eopyright 1917 by The United Press. ]
LONDON, Nov. 20.-A direct and un'
equivocal statement to the entire
world Of the allies aims, is the big
objective behind President Wilson's g
advocacy Of the proposed inter-allied
war council.
The United Press is able to make
this statement on the basis of infor-
nation of unquestioned authority to-
day. as the American commissioners
held their first formal meeting with
the British leaders in Downing street.
1t is to insure the organization OF
such a council that the American COM
mission headed by Colonel House is in
Europe. 1t is to insure such declar-
alton made binding upon all the allies,
as well as to stiffen the offensive, that
the council is desired by the United
States.
Americas immediate aim and the
big task assigned to Colonel House,
will be to induce every one of the al
lied nations to throw every card Oh
the table, to state every demand and
present every claim Of the war. From
the entire lot will then be selected
those which are basic. which are pred
icated upon broad humanitarianism,
which justify the allies claim as
champions of the rights Of small ma
tions, which are aimed atffreeing' civil
ization from the menace of militar1sm
and which are in truth calculated to
make the world safe for democracy"
Then If the plans and ideas of the
American commission carry, these OBJ
jectives, backed by and endorsed by
the entire allied council, will be pro-
clamed to the entire world, allies
neutral and enemy-not as a peace
move, but as a war move, a move cal
culated to democratize the entire al.
lied war making machine It would
be move to purge the entire allied
coalition of the last tinge Of suspicion
OF selfish interest or hope Of individ-
ual gain for any nation.
Such a move. disarming the kaiser
of his argument that the German SOL
dier is fighting defensive war is
counted on to deal telling blow to
German morale, to give reinsurance
to neutrals and to remove from the
mind Of any allied soldier any idea
that he is risking his life in further
ance OF the commercial or political n
terests of any allied nation.
That President Wilson personally
desires such declaration by such

! BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 20.-The war

stretched out to the great mass OF
! Russias revolution-torn workers by
the American Federation Of Labor, 1T
was learned today.
Backed by a pro-war vote, the most
overwhelming roll call pronunciamento
in its history, the federation plans a
fraternal message to the labor legions
of Russia telling why American labor
IS in the war against kaiserism to the
limit.
The greeting" resolution itself may
not be placed before the delegates un.
til later, but so interested is President
Gompers in bringing Russian labors
great problem before American labor
and in putting American labor's inter-
pretation Of world labor problems and
prospects clearly before the workers
of Russia, that part of today's busy
program has been given over to Rus
sian affairs. The enormous amount
of routine business pending between
now and adjournment Saturday, will
be interrupted at the afternoon session
by the personal report Of First Vice
President Jas. Duncan Of what he
learned and saw in Russia as a mem
Der of Americas official war mission
to that country.
Out of this report, American labor's
greeting is expected to take form.
"The idea of a fraternal greeting
to our brothers in Russia impresses
me most favorably," said President
Gompers today, "and the proposition
will be offered to the convention be-
for it has adjourned"
The message offered for approval
of the delegates will be purely one
of labor problems. The advantages
of an organized labor movement from
both national and international
angles will be pointed out.
The determination of Am ertcan
labor to see the war through to vic
tory as means of assuring that the
advantages labor has gained will be
held and the probability of even bet
ter conditions in the future made
secure, will be stressed.
It is not proposed to incorporate
any discussion of peace.

BYRON, ILL.,, Nov 20.-When Sam
my distinguishes himself by some
typically American feat of enterprise
or bravery "over there" he's going
to receive some recognition more sub
stantial than his comrades "attaboy."
This is the determination Of Medill
Mccormick, congressman from I'LL,
nois who told the United Press today
that he intended to introduce In the
next congress bill providing medals
for soldiers and sailors who perform
gallantly in action.
Mccormick will produce three
classes of decoration-a medal foa
distinguished gallantry," one foz
"gallantry,' and a reg1mental decora
ton for distinguished conduct" The
latter probably would be q silk cord
to be worn on the breast OF each mem
Der Of a unit that performed some un
usual feat of bravery.
Before introducing the bill, however
McCormiclS will consult with Presi
dent Wilson and Secretary Baker t.
obtain any suggestions they may have
to make on the subject.
"The thing that most impressed me
on my recent visit to tho western
'front.'" said Mccormick, was the
speedy way in which any exceptional
gallantry was rewarded.
"If a poilu went over the top on
Friday and performed some unusual
stunt, the regiment or battalion would
be called together on Saturday and
he would receive a medal"
Mccormick said he would suggest
that the major medal to be provided
in his proposed bill, shouldbe awarded
by the war department on recon-
mendation of colonel within a week
after 1t was earned. The minor medal,
he said, should be awarded by the
brigadier commander on recommends
tion of the colonel or major within q
day or two.
Mccormick is at his country home
here.
Military Decorations.

AMERICAN FIELD HEADQUAR-
TIERS, France, Nov. 20.--One result
of the recent visit Of American con-
aressmen to the front may be legis-
lation granting new medals to Ameri-
can soldiers for deeds Of bravery.
It was reported today that several
Of the representatives had announced
their intention to introduce bills at the
December session of congress provid-
Ing for two new military decorations.
There was no intention on their part
tc displace the present congressional
Medal Of Honor as the highest Of all
awards for gallantry in action or con-
spicuous services In time of war But
the congressmen en- who favor the addi-
tional awards believe there should be
two new medals for recognition OF ex-
peditionary army heroes-medals
which could be awarded on the field
and which would correspond to the
French Croix de Guerre and medal
militaire and the British distinguished
service medal and the military cross.
AS 1t stands at present, American sol
diers' bravery can be recognized only
bv award Of departmental medal, or.
after passage OF a special act Of con-
gress, by the Medal Of Honor.
