copies of which have been distributed in

"The United States have only been
able to send 10 per cent of the men they
promised to aid Europe. To this end
they have enlisted the negroes, the aliens

They know they will have to sacrifice
lot of lives and it is clear that they wish
to sacrifice everybody but their own
eountrymen.
"The national feeling of Americans is
opposed to the war. The anti-war propa-

RAILROADS OFFER
SELVES TO PRESIDENT
In Case of Crisis They Agree to Place
Their Interests in His Hands to
Do as He Sees Fit.

Washington, D. C., Nov. l9.-Formal
announcement was made to-day that the
railroads of the country had decided il
any crisis should arise to place their
interests in the hands of President VIII
son for protection and such disposition
as he may deem necessary to prevent
the interruption of transportation during
the war. The four railroad brotherhoods
which have made demands for increases
in wages have agreed to mediation, but
have refused unconditional submission
of the question to arbitration.
The announcement by the railroad war
board is regarded as the elimination of
the possibility of strike by giving the
president a free hand so far as the rail
roads are concerned when he meets the
brotherhood leaders in conference Thurs
day.
