Socialists Lose in Elections.
Emperor William met notable de-
feat in the United States last Tuesday

them was decisive.

openly anti-war men and some Of themk

Secretary Lansing issued state
ment that makes it clear that the al
lies realize that many of their re-
verses have been due to lack of team
work, and that one OF the chief aims
Of the conference will be to brinZj
about unity of action. For It's part, the;
