VICTORY, PEACE BASIS
PRESIDENT HINTS At NEW MEANS
THAT WILL END LABOR
TROUBLES.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Auditorium. Buffalo, n. y, Nov l3.-
President Wilson made personal and
eloquent appeal here for the full sup.
port of organized labor for the gov
ernment in the conduct OF the war.
Speaking before the annual conven-
tion 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 it clear that he OPP
poses peace until this war against Ger
many has been won.
The President paid 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 Will
ling to await the verdict Of history on
that statement.
New instrumentalities 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 it can find in any other
hearts. But the spirit OF freedom does
not suit the plans OF the pan-Germans.
Power cannot be used with concen'
trated force against the free peoples
II It 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 II
means that the people in that central
power know that II the war ends as 1t
stands they will in effect themselves
be vassals Of Germany. notw1thstand'
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 l 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 a 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 ana
spirit of our time, leader OF thoughts
and actions among the nations OF the
earth"

MAYOR BOSSE FINDS
A way TO Do II

Evansville, Ind, Sept. 24.-Coal
dealers here say any coal will be
more scarce this winter if local con-
sumers depend upon them.
\ But Evansville consumers don't
care a hang. Mayor Bosse has
promised to furnish coal from his
new municipal mine at little above
cost. Behring'S for the. mine, the first
city owned in the country, are about
completed. The mine is located just
above Chandler, Ind, twelve miles
northwest of the city.
Local coal dealers have their out
put tied up in iron bound contracts
with concerns in other cities. They
claim local consumers have always
',oycot,cd them, and used cheap,
non-union coal from other cities.
Therefore, they do not intend to
break outside contracts to keep Ev-
ansville from freezing.
Mayor Bosse wants to make sure
the citizens get coal at fair price.
So he started his municipal mine,
which will cost at least 100000.
The mayor is going to build it with
his own money, then sell 1t to the
city to be operated by the water
works department.
The mine will be sold to the city
at cost, plus per cent on the orig
inal investment. Just now the city
couldn't take over the mine, and its
charter and the Indiana laws do not
permit city to operate its own coal
mine.
But Bose declares he will fight
for a new law to permit municipal
operation of the mine. In the mean
time he is going ahead to get the
new mine running. Law or no law,
tn people must have coal, is his
stand.
The mine will produce 1000 tons
of coal day. 1t will have the most
modern equipment. Coal will be
shipped to the city on a traction
line and railroad. Municipal coal
yards will be established on each of
these lines in Evansville. The coal
will be sold at wholesale and retail
at slightly above cost. The city will
arrange to haul it to the house of
the buyer.

A LETTER / FROM
PAUL I. MCPHERSON
Webster City Soldier Boy Writes In
terestingly From Camp
Mills, New York.

Camp Mills, Hampstead, N. Y,
Sept. 20, f917.-Just few lines to
say that the Webster City fellows
with the 16Sth Infantry are still on
the map, even if they are separated
from the mainland of the United
States by water. We haven't seen
the water yet, however, being locat-
ed inland about miles from shore.
The climate is much cooler than that
of Iowa, due to the winds from off
the water and as for dust, don't be-
lieve the fellows in Deming can have
thing over us.
Our camp is located on level
stretch of land and just mile and a
half or so from Hampstead, N. Y, a
town of about 1000 population. The
town is real old style, and a sight
for Iowans who are used to fine mod
ern cities. The store buildings are
of the low two-story type with gable
roofs, shingled like house and with
the exception of the ground floor,
they resemble very much what we
would call square frame-house.
They have pavement, however, and a
street car line which runs cars even
less often than the one in Ft. Dodge.
So much for Hampstead. Camp
Mills, our home, covers almost as
much territory as the city of Web
ster City and is laid out on plot of
ground owned by building corpora
ton, and will some day be covered
with fine homes. Our regiment is
located almost in the center Of the
camp, surrounded by troops from

Georgia, Alabama, Ohio. and New


Georgia, Alabama, Ohio. and New
York. Illinois. Indiana. Virginia,
Minnesota and some other states are
also represented here. We have great
sport with the fellows from Alabama
and Virginia who imagine we are
sharpshooters and cowpunchers, from
the wild and woolly west. Some
think we have Indians in Iowa and
others ask if we have street cars. We
have fine reputation and are taken
at our word because we are from
Iowa.
Visitors are, not plentiful here ex-
cept on Sundays. Through the week,
they must Have pass to enter the
camp. The, division is too busy to
visit. Our fellows are receiving some
very severe drilling in war tactics
Each company has now a captain
and five lieutenants. Two-thirds Of
the latter are graduates from Off
GERS training schools. Lieut.. Gerald
Blake of Webster City is here with
Company X,
On the other hand the quartermas-
ters corps and supply officers are ex-
ceedingly busy, furnishing the regi-
ments with the full equipment of
wool clothing, no cotton, also with
the best of arms and in fact every
thing that any army could need. And
most Of the equipment is brand new.
They are very careful that every
thing is right up to snuff and taking
every precaution to prepare us for
what is to come. The fellows who
served on the border say that the
army as it is organized here is much
different than that which guarded
the Rio Grande.
Each regiment has their Y. M. C..
A. where the fellows spend their
spare moments. Boxing matches,
wrestling matches, and moving pic
lures help to kill time in the even
ing. A checker tournament is being
conducted by the Y. M. c. A. For
the benefit of those who desire to
study and improve their time, Eng
lish and French classes are being
conducted by the Y. M. C. A. and
some of the high school teachers
from Hampstead have organized
classes in other lines.
Although it is common thing
for soldier to kick on army grub,
our fellows are being we'll fed and
will, without doubt, return to Web
ster City every bit as healthy and as
fat as they did from the border. At
least We all expect to. Well never
see a place that will look as good to
us as old Iowa. This is evident by
the way the fellows watch for "mail
from home" And we await the day
when we can march up Second street
again and take our place among
friends. And we wish the best of
good fortune upon our fellow-sold-
iers, now in Deming. Best wishes to
all,
