"At the same time the entire Union wa.
transformed into one huge factory Of
arms and ammunition. Not only were
the existing plants enlarged. but others
which In times OF peace produced goods
designed for peaceful purposes, were
transformed in order to produce war ma
terial for Germany's enemies.
The entire industry Of a people which
was completely untouched by the horrors
OF the distant European war had bee.t
turned into an enormous workshop of
death.
And while the government of the
United States confirms this/conception of
neutrality. 1t claims from US that we
assume responsibility for the safety OF
the life of every one of its citizens, who.
In spite Of urgent warning. invade the
sea war zone.
Fair dealing for the whole world
except for Germany.
That Is the main feature Of President
Wilson's policy from beginning to end.
Thus the day came when. after the
ieering refusal Of our peace offer, the
determination to begin unrestricted sub
marine warfare was carried out.
"one last appeal for fair dealing was
made to President Wilson. The answer
to 1t was the rupture Of diplomatic re-
lations and further than that, even an
attempt on his part to arouse all neutraI
powers against US.
Moreover, today the President de-
clares that Americas direct participation
in the struggle is possible.
THE sacrifices which We can bring to
peace with the United States reach their
limit when the maintenance of our right
to live and the victorious conduct Of q
war for our existence-a war for our
existence-a war forced upon us-is
jeopardiZed.
mo vital American interest forces the
President to take action toward war.
The offer of an alliance to Mexico
was planned on our part to be made
only after the American declaration Of
war against US.
Even today we still wish to avoid war
with the United States.
IF America shares this wish. then
Mexico's knowledge Of our offer shall
be limited to what President Wilson's
government itself published about It
Which way the die shall be cast de-
pends upon the President

the responsibility II his own country,
which SO far still enjoys the blessings of
peace and which ought to thank heaven
as much as possible for this. were now
to be involved in tho horrors Of the san
culinary world war without any cogent
necessity.
'As President Wilson now holds in his
hands the lives Of American citizens who
disregard our warning against entering
the danger zone on the sea, so he also
holds in his hands the lives of many
thousands upon whom further extension
Of the war would bring destruction, sor-
row and death.

whether he chooses war or peace-he

All Company Can Do.
Mr.. King announced that the above
scale of wages was the highest that the
company could possibly afford to pay in
view Of the low rate OF fare now existing.
but announced that in addition to the
wages above stated, all conductors and
motormen shall be entitled to their share
of any bonus or profit-sharing plan the
company may adopt, frankly telling the
men, however, that there could be moth
ing of this kind unless the rate of fare
was increased to 5 cents.
"As to hours: No scheduled run to
exceed twelve consecutive hours Of con-
tinuous service and at least eight hours
rest in each twenty-four hours to be
provided.
"a large number of employees present
signed this agreement, which becomes
effective on March Il, 1917, and extends
for a period of three years.
''Mr. King stated that he felt this con-
tract was eminently fair to the train

were:

found to have been stored in Mexico and
other strategic points, ready for use in
the event of hostilities between the
United States and Germany. The quantity
of munitions is not sufficient to cause seri-
GUS trouble, but their discovery cleared
the mystery of the purchase Of a great
number Of rifles, ammunition and light
artillery by German agents in this coun-

UNDERSTANDING THE U. $.

A German officer, estimating the
military capacity Of the United States,
expresses the opinion that the Ameri-
can soldier Is of about the same fight
ing value as the Rumanian, which he
declares is not great. and that the only
help that the Americans can give the
Allies that must be seriously reckoned
with is in the air.
Just how prevalent this opinion IS
we do not know, but II is about the
same opinion chat the German military
staff had Of the French and English.
There is a bump of conceit on the
Prussion noggin that has been
whaclSed many times since the war
began 1t will be whacked many times
more before the Prussian collapse
comes.
Man for man at this stage of the
war the German soldier is not the
equal of either British or French on
the western front, and there is no rea-
son for any intelligent man to say
that the American soldier will not
prove the equal of the Briton the
French.
The troops more nearly like the
Americans are neither the French nor
the English. but the Canadians, and
We think the critics will say that the
Canadians have shown themselves to
be the equal of any troops of Europe.
No doubt, il our raw men had been
thrown into the battle as they came
to the colors they might not have
made good showing in results, but
when they go in next spring and sum-
mer it will he found that they have
the lighting skill and stamina and that
they will prove equal to any task con
fided TO them.

Thanksgiving Day from day Of

BLACKS MAKE FINE FIGHTERS
Senegalese Anxious Te Pay Old Scores
Against Germany.

You white men are forced to fight;
we are volunteers" say proudly
Frances colored soldiers when they
reply to questions as to the reason
for their. comoing to Europe to fight,
says a dispatch from the French
front. Whether they come from
Senegal, Madagascar or Somaliland,
all Of them express gladness at the
opportunity to pay off old scores for
cruelties committed on their kindred
in the German colonies in Africa, the
news of which has been spread among
them from one end of the continent to
the other by their mysterious meth
DDS of communication. All of them
know OF the fate Of the Herrera ma
ton in German Southwest Africa,
where only few wandering groups
remain alive of what once was a
powerful negro tribe
Undoubtedly the most popular of
the French colonial volunteers are the
coal-black Senegalese. Their cour-
age in the field and their devotion to
their white officers have become
proverbial.
II has been asserted enormously
that negro troops are not able to sup
port the strain of bombardment.
Douaumont. the battle of the Aisne,
the Somme offensive, the attack at
Laffaux Mill and the defense of
Craonne and the California and Case
mates plateau have all been scenes
of the heroic courage of the negro
troops under artillery fire of the most
terrific character
