Dor MEN At BUFFALO 70
CRUSH AUTocRAcY.
VICTORY, PEACE BASIS
PRE- slpENT HINTS At NEW MEANS
THAT WILL END LABOR
TROUBLES.

Auditorium, Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 10
President Wilson made personal and
eloquent appeal here for the full sup
port Of organized labor for the gov.
eminent in the conduct Of the war.
Speaking before the annual conven.
ton Of the American Federation Of
Labor he declared the war could not
be won unless all factions unite in a
common cause. sinking their differ.
ences, and made 1t clear that he op-
poses peace until this war against Ger.
many has been won.
The President peid warm tribute to
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation of Labor, and
virtually called upon the Federation to
give him united support. He de
nounced pacifists and critics and ap-
pealed for cooperation.
Discussing Germany, the President
declared fatty that Germany had
started the war, and that he was viii.
ling to await the verdict Of history on
that statement.
New instrumentalties for better Co
operation between labor and capital
was one suggestion by the President
which was OF prime interest to the
delegates OF the convention.
The President alluded to the present
war as the last decisive issue be-
tween the old principles Of power and
the new principles Of freedom" Il be-
lieve,' he said, that the spirit Of free
dom can get into the hearts Of Ger
mans and find as fine welcome
there as 1t can find In any other
hearts. But the spirit Of freedom does
not suit the plans Of the pane Germans.
Power cannot be used with concen-
trated force against the free peoples
II 1t is used by free people.
you know" he continued, how
many intimations come to US from one
Of the central powers that 1t is more
anxious for peace than the chief cen
trail power, and you know that 1t
means that the people in that central
power know that II the war ends as it
stands they will in effect themselves
be yassals of Germany, notwithstand-
ing that their populations are COM
pounded of all the people OF that part
Of the world, and Notwithstanding the
fact that they do not wish in their
pride and proper spirit Of nationality
to be absorbed and dominated"
Referring in another part Of his
speech to Russia, the President said:
MAY | not say 1t is amazing to me
that any group OF people should be SO
Ill informed as to suppose, as some
groups In Russia apparently suppose,
that any reforms planned in the inter
est Of the people can live in the pres
ence Of Germany powerful enough
to undermine or overthrow them by
intrigue or force? Any body Of free
men that compounds with the German
government compounds for its own de-
struction"
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation of Labor. intro
ducing Mr.. Wilson, referred to him as
this man of destiny, spokesman for
freedom, interpreter Of the aims and
spirit of our time, leader of thoughts
and actions among the nations of the
earth"

State insurance In Australia shows
gratifying results. 1t has been found
possible to pay bonus of 10 per cent
on ordinary policies, and to make 9th

built up and expenses met. This re-
workable success is attributed to the
very low expense ratio of the office,
which is about IL per cent Of the net

Is a Mere Memory Now.

Staid granddads of today can likely
bark back to the supreme joy of early
youth when they first donned a pair
of copper-toed boots, some three-score
years ago. 1t Is interesting to learn,
from writer in the Toronto Star, that
their inception was due to a Canadian,
one Newman Silverthorne, whose brain
was quickened in this direction by his
own exigencies in tramping through
wild country. Naturally, boot manu-
facturers did not wax enthusiastic
over an innovation that heightened the
life of their wares at such a small ex-
ira cost, and it was only by his own
exertions, in advertising that he Gre
ated market for production that re-
Ceived the benedictioA of many pater-
familias, though his exclusive enjoy
ment Of the patent lasted but six years,
and was then promptly shelved by
the manufacturers.

green old age, under the loving care

arrives at his office he has already
done what many men would consider

Perhaps no member of the win-the-

when he gives his attention to multi

frequently makes an "all-night sitting

mentous Importance that has Cropped

Our foreign minister, Arthur Bal

He gets through large amount of cor
respondence every day during meals,
debating letters to his secretary be-
tween the courses. Although he is sell
dom seen in the house of commons
nowadays, it was invariably his prac-
tlce before the war to compose his
speeches while listening to the Debates
EX-President Roosevelt is another
celebrity who has reduced time saw
Ing to fine art. He constantly takes
paper and pencil out with him when
he is riding on horseback, and at such
times decides upon his reply to diff
ficult question or outlines an article
for the press.
J. D. Rockefeller believes in an econ
omy of words. When he has an i'm
portant piece of business to negotiate,
he thinks out beforehand what is the
simplest and quickest way of getting it
through. Another man who had once
TO negotiate an important oil deal with
him, one involving the transfers of
hundreds of thousands of pounds,
spent weeks in preparing for the final
momentous interview.
Mr.. Rockefeller walked into the
room where he was sitting with his
piles of papers. "How much?" he
asked. The man named figure though
almost surprised into dumbness by the
bluntness of the question. Right

thereupon handing over the other
party to some Of his subordinates for
the completion Of details, while he him
self gave his attention to other mat
tiers. 1t is part of his system of saw

shall only be occupied with the settle
ment of principles, and that thereafter
the arrangement of details shall al
ways be taken in hand by his numer-
Gus assistants. who are quite compe-

are SO artistically made, and SO perfectly
dressed that they vie in style and attrac-
tiveness with their aristocratic rivals.
One sees sets of mink, skunk, wolf, rae
coon and long list of pretty dependable
furs made up into stoles and sets that ap-
peal to any woman who knows the value
of such pieces, and at prices not by any
means prohibitive to ordinary means.
Hats for Evening
Hats with thin brims of georgette crepe
or lace, make some of the most success
full effects for evening wear, and in the
turban shapes, combinations of tinseled
brocade and tulle or fur are liked by
women who prefer brimless styles. 1t is
rather faddish to have hat and frock
match or harmonic in coloring, but not
at all obligatory, as one sees quite as

Lost Wife From Motor Car.

For four hours the police Of Seattle,
Wash, searched for Mrs. B. S. Eber-
hart of that city, whom her husband
reported as having been lost from the
rear seat of their motor car as they
were driving in the outskirts of Seat
tie. The search was ended by the ap-
pearance of Mrs. Eberhart herself, and
then the man remembered having
stopped his car near park to make
some needed repairs. While he Ia
bored under the machine without his
knowledge his wife had strolled into
the woods. When she returned to the
road she only saw trail Of dust
where her husband was vanishing in
the direction of home. She returned
to town on trolley-and there the
story as told by Seattle papers ends.

GIass.Bottom Sea Boats.

After refusing to accept a 100000
shrapnel order at the beginning Of the
European conflict from the British gov
eminent because of humanitarian rea-
sons, Charles R. Bryson, president of
the Electric Steel company, has placed
his patriotism above his conscientious
beliefs and is now aiding Uncle Sam
in seeking solution for the German
submarine menace, says Pittsburgh
correspondent of the New York Com
mercial.
He has submitted plans to the gov
eminent of his "glass-bottom" patrol
boats, which, he declares, can be used
as a means to rid the sea of the o.
boats mines and other unseen perils to
navigation.
