 That anything may happen among troops whose discipline is somewhat lax and which may cause Americans to retaliatc is realized here very well. As numbers of American agents are carefully reporting he developments and as these do not appear ito be of an alarmist char acter, there is little concern as to the final outcome on the border.

BASIS UPON
WHICH PEACE
MUST BE MADE

1t being pretty well established
in the minds of the whole people
that organized labor will stand by
the Government in this war until
victory perches upon it's banners, it
is now fitting that labor should an
nounce its position with regard to
peace negotiations. 1t is right
that labor being one of the chief fac
tors in peace and war it must be
represented in the peace councils.
Therefore labor has taken the fol-
lowing stand as announced through
our official representatives in the
American Federation of Labor:
at is an imperative duty from
which there is no escape that wage
earners as well as all other citizens
of this republic support our govern
ment in it's righteous effort to de-
fend principles Of humanity and to
establish democracy in international
relations. Because we desire perma-
nent peace it is our duty to fight
and sacrifice until these purposes
can be achieved.
