suddenly thrown up in the air
Friday when lumb-rmen refused
10 accept terms Offered by Pres
ident Wilson's War Mediation
Commission on the eve OF Its de-
parture for st. Paul tonight.
Instead OF carrying East a def
mite agreement on the eight-hour
day. the commission is believed to
have counter proposals which will
be discussed with President Wilson
before. final announcement. ~
made on the strike d!fficulties II
Is thought they are that the prcs.-
dent ask congress for universal
eight hour day in the lumber indus
try.
The commission issued a statement
at the New Washington. saying that
conclusions reached In the labor
trouble would be reported personally
TO the president and recommending
tons for action made to him.
Split on Eight.Hour Day
Members Of the commissions were
silent as to the actual results Of the
many hearings held on the matter.
but those who have followed the
course OF the investigation believe
that the commission and lumbermen
failed TO agree on the eight hour day.
This has been the chief point OF
contention during the course OF tho
strike. r. $. Grammer. who ham
died the strike for the lumbermen
and other heads OF the lumber in
dustry have declared that they IA
vored a national eight-hour day, but
could not grant it locally and meet
the competition OF ten-hour labor in
the Southern timber industry.
Things Looked Bright
Following the action OF the West
ern Pine association in declaring for
an eight-hour day last week. there
was an atmosphere OF confidence in
the commission sessions. Conditions
seemed satisfactory for settlement
generally in the Northwest.
Failure 10 announce definite de-
cision today is believed to indicate
that the work OF the commission was
hung up on the eighthour contro-
versy.
on receiving President Wilson's
message to hurry TO st. Paul TO con-
duct an investigation OF street car
troubles there. Secretary of Labor
Wilson ended the commission ses-
sion here yesterday afternoon. The
commission will leave for ST. Paul
tonight.

The statement asserted that
the British "feeler" was a tenta-
tive one, but II was never car.
ried thru To its conclusion. Bal.
four's statement TO the house OF
commons early this week, as.
serted that neutral govern.
ment had sounded England for
Germany ON possibility for
peace.
AT the beginning OF September,

German war aims" the statement
said. THE communication was
couched in such form that IL could
certainly be supposed that the in.
quiry was made with the knowledge
and sanction OF the British govern.
ment.
Moreover, the circumstances at.
tending the inquiry allowed the con.
clusion that most probably the Brit
ish cabinet was informed OF the step
and that IL was sanctioned at least
by the most important allies
Germany Was Ready
The German government. in prin.
ciple, was ready to answer the in.
quiry,' the statement said. Two
courses were open-an indirect or a
direct reply,
The decisive objection to the in
direct reply thru a neutral was that
the one-sided publication of the Ger
man attitude might bind us to n pol.

the attitude OF the enemy.

opportune course.

AMERICAN UNITY, .

German .propogandists and pro-
German "pacifsts" have no intention
of slowing UP their efforts, but the
spectacle of American unity of feel
ing and purpose, a unity more COM
plete every day, must give them
moments of profound discourage
ment. This unity, with the President
as its nurturer and spokesman; is the
subject of comment in widely separ-
ated parts of the world. 1.-THE United
States" says LaRazon, a leading
newspaper Of Rio Janeiro, Occupies
the most prominent place in the
world today because of the perfect
alliance which exists between the
people and the Government" The
London Daily Mail goes SO far as to
say: @
mo autocrat in history ever rejoic-
ed the power and authority freely
yielded to President Wilson by the
American people. His voice is their
voice, his thoughts their thoughts to
q degree that no comparison with any
European country can quite parallel.
Whenever he speaks it is as though
America, with its 10O,0OO,OO0 people,
blew q blast on a single. trumpet. To
read his latest address to Congress is
to know Immediately what are the
ideals and purposes of the entire ma
ton"
What is more remarkable about
is its truth. We have not changed;
our institutions are precisely what
have been all along. Our country is
republic composed of forty-eight
self-governing States. Yet in this
crisis one man does sit down pen in
hand and speak for the whole nation,
with the exception of small, secret
ly dislOyal element with foreign sym
pathies. Reading the Presidents re-
cent address to Congress, his re-
Spouse to the Pope's peace appeal,
and his other important public ex-
pressiOns since we entered the war,
millions of Americans in the ranks
of all political parties have applaud
ed not merely because both the sub
stance and form of the Presidents
utterances have compelled admira-
ton but because he said what they
themselves had more or less thought
and had wished to say. Woodrow VIII
son has a marvellous ear for the
"vOices" from the farms, the work
shops, the counting houses, the uni
versities, the home firesides, and
joined with this gift Of perception are
many other talents beneftting
great statesman. This is why he car
speak in q great hour, for q hundred
million people and is freely yielded
