Arr5val of Troops Abroad
 Keeps Pace Expectations

MT. Baker indicated that an official statement of the number of American troops in France was not to be expect ed at any time during the war. He caused an inquiry to be made of the military censor, Major General McIn- tyre, however, which may result in more liberal regulations as to publica- tion of the designation of regiments. brigades or companies which are en- gagged in action on the front from time to time If there is no sound military reason for suppressing that informa- ton, MT. Baker said, he desired to give it out.
 The secretary's attention was called to the fact that the British official statements recently have named at least by geographical designation the troops used in various offensives. Ap- parently new policy in this regard has been adopted in London and the war department may do Likewise.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Arrival of American troops in France has kept pace with the expectation of the war department, Secretary Baker said to- night in the first statement he has ever authorized in connection with the progress being made in increasing General Pershing's forces. MT. Baker declined however, to state the number of troops forwarded or to indicate whether he anticipated delay from this time. Movement of the forces, he said depended on two clements, the train ing and equipment of the men and the availability of ships.
 .'As fast as they are ready, ships and men will be combined" the secretary said. AS many American troops are now overseas as. we expected in the beginning to have overseas at this time."

PRESIDENT AND CABINET OFFICIALS
ARE FOR MAINTENANCE OF STANDARDS

suspend existing statutes be granted
only in emergency cases involving the
national defense, and then only upon
request of the council for stated
period. The declared policy of the
council is to maintain all existing laws
and regulations. No position has been
taken by the council in opposition to
or discouragement of the passage of
further regulations looking to i'm
provement in industrial conditions"
Secretary of Commerce Redfield
took the same position in his address
before the convention of the National
Association of Manufacturers, New
York, May 16:
"Tn practice, therefore, there should
be no disturbance of labor standards,
no suggestion of altered hours. Let
these things rest until the nation itself
calls. Keep the standards of living
untouched and the standard of friendly
leadership exalted. If the nations
need shall call, you will be told what
is required. Until that call shall come
let there be no undue pressure upon
labor and let no advantage be taken
posed principle in the hour of the ma
tons trial"
These declarations by President Will
son and his cabinet officials are in line
with the present attitude of the Brit
ish government after its disastrous
experience following an assent to the
plea of employers identical to that in
our own country. British authorities
have acknowledged their mistake and
the maintenance of labor standards is
now their greatest consideration.
This war will not be 100-yard dash
with the contestants calling on every
ounce of energy for the few seconds
necessary to cover the distance. The
present emergency will be a long
struggle, a marathon. Under these
circumstances it is worse than unwis-
dom to devitalize our first line of de-
fense, the producers, by stripping them
of protection against employers whose
ideals are less of patriotism than of
profits and dividends.

1t is the same France whose hills
and valleys bore the beautiful burdens
of vine and flower that twined and
blossomed under the happy visions of
yesterday. but where the red stain of
blood and the black stain of death
combine to paint the picture of living
hell today.
What forsooth shall be Americas
answer to the call of the French peo-
pie in such an hour?
Let it be one that will broaden,
ennoble and inspire humanity Let it
be one that will crush autocracy and
enthrone democracy thruout the world
Let it be one that will prove to the
world that we have emerged from the
sheltered valley of selfishness where
we have been dwelling amid the sor-
did dreams of a false security and that
we stand once again with our forefa-
theirs upon the mountain top from
which an unvexed view of our highest
responsibilities is spread before US
as the ignoble things of life are lost
jealousies and all the petty conflicts
of the valley below.
Whatever the sacrifice necessary for
the permanent establishment of the
fine humanities for which we stand,
may the God of Peace or the God of
War, as the case may be, prompt the
heart and steel the hand of America
to do her full. duty as the foremost
champion of human rights now that
the timepiece of the centuries has
struck the hour of duty.
And when the last chapter of this
titanic struggle is written, let our
conquering boys return to the realms
of peace crowned with wreaths of
gratitude and victory woven from the

"a. f. of l., News letter.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-Reports
to A. F. of L. headquarters indicate
that the nations best thought is ac-
cepting the trade union position that
labor laws and other social legislation
must not be waived or weakened be-
cause of the war.
Exploiters of labor have failed to
twist the declaration of the council OF
national defense to suit their purpose.
This declaration is based on possible
eventualities that would imperil our
national life The council insists that
it, rather than an employer or group of
employers who would take advantage
of wars first alarms, is the best judge
of future conditions.
President Wilson's clear-cut declara-
ton on May 15, in addressing dele
cation of trade unionists, has been a
powerful factor in checking this ten
dency, as it is a notification to labor
exploiters that they can expect no aid
from the nations chief executive IN
their attempt to tear away the foun-
dations of social progress. The pres
ident said:
sI have been very much alarmed at
one or two things that have happened: {:
At the apparent inclination of the leg
islatures of one or two of our states
to set aside even temporarily the laws
which have safeguarded the standards
of labor and life. | think nothing
could be more deplorable than that.
therefore, shall exercise my IN
fluence as far as it goes to see that
that does not happen and that the
sacrifices we make shall be made
voluntarily and not under the compul-
sion which is mistakenly interpreted to
mean a lowering of the standards
which we have sought thru so many
generations to bring to their present
level" III.
In his telegram of April 80 to Hi
nois trade unionists, Secretary of War
Baker said: =,

of national defense was that power to

ITALIAN PRESS
PLEASED WITH
u. S. ATTITUDE
Enthusiastic Over Recep-
ton Accorded Members
of Mission.

Rome, July 1.-THE Italian press
publishes interesting interviews with
members Of the italian mission to the
United States who have Just returned
ALI the members Of the mission are
enthusiastic over the splendid recep-
ton given them, saying that the
friendship shown Italy, If it did not
surpass. certainly equalled that shown
France and Great Britain. President
Wilson and other leading Americans,
the members say, showed that they
understood that Italy, like the United
States, might have kept out Of the
war, but entered it for humane ideals
and not for territorial conquest, al
though Italy, like France, claims the
restitution of land belonging to her
for reasons of nationality or to pro-
teot her frontier.
America, they say, realizes that
Italy agrees entirely with the program
set forth in President Wilson's mes
sage to congress in April and that
America will help Italy, as she will
aid the other Allies, financially and in
supplying food. arms, munitions and
coal. One of the most important
questions to be solved is that of ton
mage, which must be divided judicious-
ly between military and supply re-
quirements.

Used Cars May Be
rs Useful on Farms

A contest concluded Last week un-
der the auspices OF leading agricu1-
tur4sts and members Of the food pro-
duetion committee Of the Massachu-
setts Council OF National Defense win
solve fn the opinion OF the Judges the
used car problem by making the old
machines available Tor farm use. This
Beck to the Farm movement Will
bring thousands OF old automobiles
to nsaful old age and increase the
productivity OF the land throughout
the nation.
For . great many years. automo-
bf1es have been junk, while there
were still considerable mechanical
possibilities, remaining in them. Sim
ply because a car lacked appearance
WAS sufficient reason to turn It over
to tho 1sfnk-xnAn, and the result was
that tlse price or used cars remained
lconrazatfvefy high and an enormous
field Of future service. such as the
farms OF the country afford. remain
ed closed to them. The solution Of
the problem has finally been made
by ChaA. Fl. Metz. who has invented
a convertible tractor that may be at
tacfSd to any old car and made to
do the work OF six horses.
