well chosen words one by one fell from his lips were given an atten- tion which has ben accorded to but few men.
 President Wilson's remarks re- vealed that he himself truly valued the suspicious occasion and he pledged himself to the high pur- poses which animate the labor movement. He promised the labor men before him and through them promised the laboring people of the entire country that all tho power and resources of the whole country would be consecrated to the dcstruc- tion of autocracy and autocratic rule which he avowed to be the great enemy of labor.

BUFFALO,, Nov. 12.--Before what is regarded as one of the largest gatherings ever assembled any where in the world under ono roof here today President Wilson delivered the most stirring and emo tional speech of his career. The president had journeyed up from Washington D. C., away from his most momentous affairs to be pre- sent at the national convention of the American Federation of Labor meeting here in annual session.
 The gathering itself is most i'm posing and noteworthy occasion and for his auditors the President had the leading men of the conserv- ative labor movement from every nook and corner of the entire country. In a voice charged with tremendous power and feeling the President addressed the great body for over an hour, during which a dramatic stiffness prevailed as his

BERLIN, Nov. 12.-That there has beer no serious interference with the continued advance of the German forces in Italy was the claim made by the German military authorities here this morning. After having captured Pealluma the Germans at once continued their march down the Piave River for a distance of twenty five miles. The revised figures of as to the number of prisoners taken show that twenty five thousand Italian soldiers were captured. At this capital it is claimed that little or no opposition is being offered to the steady Teu- tonic advance.
 According to these reports, the Austro-Gernan army moving into Italy as rapidly as its strategiste care to go.

this country's operations in the war? As if responding to these un- spoken questions he declared and promised that labor must be held free and that its highest traditions and standards must be maintained. In turn for the promised boon he called the labor men to join with him in redoubling the efforts of the American nations in the struggle for freedom and democracy.
 Observers noted that while the attention accorded the Presidents words was profound and respectful it was at the same time studious and calculating. It is known that re- gardless of his reas:uring address many Of the administration me diators and wage inquiry boards are in conflict with the labor unions in various parts of the country in their efforts to maintain wage standards commensurate with mounting costs of living.
