In an address couched in terms of
ringing patriotic eloquence, Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, called on the
labor movement in all parts of the
country to lend itself to the utmost in
"the great titanic struggle of the DEM
ocracy of the world to defeat autoc-
rlcy and imperialism at one fell stroke,
a war to sure peace and freedom for
humanity and to crush militarism for
all time to come"
Mr.. Gompers' speech was made
shortly after he had been elected chair
man of the loyalty conference" of the
American Alliance for Labor and Dem
ocracy, which opened this morning in
the Minneapolis auditorium.
Those who heard it-labor leaders,
radicals and former Socialist party
members from all parts of the country

its delivery to give unstinted vent to
their appreciation.

Governor Gunter has finally picked
Frank Adams, brother of Billy"
Adams of Conejos, to be chief of the
state constabulary, now in process of
organization under a law enacted at
the special war Session" of the Colo
RADIO legislature. Frank Adams. also
brother of former Governor Alva
Adams of Pueblo, is principal owner
and manager of the Colorado Ice and
Cold Storage concern, which exper-
ience qualities him for his new duties.
However, Frank declares that he ac-
cepts the job as a patriotic duty, and
that when he has the Cossacks going

will turn them over to. some one else,
probably Felix O'Neill, former chief

The law stipulates that the chief Of
the state constabulary shall have had
service in police requirements Once
upon a time Frank Adams was chair
man Of the Denver fire and police
board
Il is reported that Charles T. Linton,
a Republican member Of the House of
Representatives from Denver county
will be appointed secretary of the
state Department of Safety"
Chief Adams has opened recruit
ing office in room PC, third floor of the
state house. Scores of applications
have been received, according to Mr..
Adams, of men seeking berths with
the state constabulary. 1t has been
emphatically announced that under
the law persons who have been en-
gagged as guards or private detectives
by corporations within the last four
years will not be eligible for appoint
ment. % sc
To Get 50. 500 Year.
Adams as superintendent of the
state department of safety will be
paid $500 year. which, according
to some of his friends, is about his
regular monthly income. He will ap-
point deputy superintendent at
81 500 year, a secretary at Sl,5O0 a
wear. one clerk or stenographer at
500 a month, and viii organize state
police force of four companies of
forty five men each.
Each of these companies viii have a
captain at 81. 800 4 year. lieutenant
at 81 200 year. sergeant at 81 900
a year. and each Of the forty-five pri-
Yates will draw $3.50 a year. How
ever. these wages include their board,
lodging, equipment and all expenses.
One of the provisos of the law is
that no man who has been or is a
private detective can be member of
this force. Each man must pass a
physical and mental examination to
belong.
In Four Divisions.
The superintendent may establish
headquarters for the force in any sec
tion of the state he decides upon. It
is probable. therefore, that there will
be four divisions in as many sections
of the state. Adams says that he
hadn't the slightest idea where these
divisions will be. The force is really
a state police force. and is intended to
exist only during the war, and it takes
the place Of the national guard, but
it also has police powers in any and
every section of the state. Sheriffs,
police and all peace officers must aid
them.

The New Republic: The presidents
note has begun TO reveal the difference
between the popular and the Official
conceptions of the war. The great bulk
of the people in England are lighting
to curb the menace of Germany, to free
Belgium, to make Europe a safer place
to live in. The people of France are
fighting for these things and to defend
themselves from a hideous invasion.
But alongside these aims there are Of
fetal aspects of the war OF which the
people have only vague knowledge but
of which they are ready deeply to dis
approve. They are the secret diplomat
ic intrigues and maneuvers for q shift
ing of the balance of power in the near
east, Africa, and even the Pacific. Per-
the Dardanelles, China, the backward
territories of the earth, these are the
stakes over which Europe has been
kept in turmoil, these are the prizes for
which the coalitions were formed, II Is
for these that European diplomacy has
played. 1t is the question of how to
dispose of these territories which rails
es the real obstacles to peace. The
immediate prize is Turkey, with the
Dardanelles, Serbia, the corridor to the
east as means to military and economic
possession of Asia Minor, Persia ana
Mesopotamia, ultimately perhaps to
Egypt and India. In that region there
rs a fierce three-cornered conflict be-
many and imperial Russia. As Incidents
of that conflict, infinitely tragic be-
cause they are only incidents, France,
Belgium, Serbia, Rumania, Greece.
Poland and Lithuania have been gashed
by the armies.

Chicago, Jan. 23.-Many players of
the Chicago Americans have declared
that the strike move of the Baseball
Players fraternity win be thwarted in
its incipiency, and few Of those who
so declared themselves are members
Of the fraternity and already have
signed their contracts. Others are
signed to iron clad documents, and
say that they see no reason to break
them.
Ray Schalk and Lefty" Williams,
the latest members OF Comiskey's
team to sign contracts, said they are
members Of the fraternity. but they
could see no good reason for a strike.
Eddie Cicotte and Joe Benz, who have
been quoted as against the strike
move, also are affiliated with the
fraternity.
Eddie Collins, Buck" Weaver, Oscar
Happy" Felsch and Jacques Fournier
all are tied up to contracts, while
Jim" Scott sent word that he was
anxiously awaiting the word to go to
the training camp, and was not inter-
ested in the strike talk.
Jim Collins, the White Sox repre-
sentative on the fraternity board, sent
letter to Benz the other day in
which he said he was enjoying him
self with his baby, and skating on the
New England rivers, but did not men
ton anything about the threatened
