WORLDS FoULEsT DEED.

Seldom indeed does document enaanate
from diplomats pen describing such
horror as Brand Whitlock's arraignment
of Prussian savagry in the Belgian de-
portations-"one Of those deeds he says,
that make one despair of the future of the
human race, deed coldly planned, stu
diously matured, and deliberately and sys-
tematically executed; deed so cruel that
German soldiers are said to have Wept at
its execution and so -monstrous that even
German officers are now said to be
ashamed
Inspired to Poe's power of describing
horror and Jack London's ability to por-
tray EQUALIZATION, feature writers have ex-
hausted vocabularies in telling of German
atrocities in the first heat of war or the last
rage of defeat-atrocities which America
at first did the berserk nation the honor to
disbelieve. But the very restraint with
which diplomatic language must be framed
| lends terrible emphasis to such state
nents as the following, in Mr.. Whitlock's

ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 16.-As demonstration of the loyalty of Min nesota and the whole northwest, 5000 persons representing every county of this state and other commonwealths of the territory gathered in the audito- rum here and affirmed their purpose to stand back of the government in it's prosecution of the war against Ger many. The audience, through the passage of a resolution, affirmed it's to a successful conclusion and pledged it's support in deeds, sacrifices and service.'
 T. P. O'Connor, Irish member of the British parliament, taking as his text an American flag which he held in his hand, dwelt on the opportunities af- forded emigrants from Europe in this country as the basis for a loyalty that should be untarnished by divided allegiance.
 Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary of agriculture, Senator Kellogg and Sen ator Knute Nelson. addressed the meet ing. President Wilson sent this mes sage:
 Nothing could be more significant than your gathering to express the loyalty of the great northwest. If it were possible I should gladly be with you. You have come together as repre- sentatives of that western empire in which the sons of all sections of Amer lea and of the stocks of all the nations Of Europe have made the prairie and the forest the home of a new race and the temple of a new faith"
 ''The time has come when that home must be protected and that faith af- firmed in deeds. Sacrifice and service must come from every class, every profession, every party, every race, every creed, every section. This is not a bankers war or a larmerS' war, or a manufacturers war, or laborlng mans wort is war for every straight-out American whether our flag be his by birth of by adoption. We are today a nation in arms, and we must fight, farm, mine and manufac- ture, conserve food and fuel, save and spend to the one common purpose. Tt is to the great northwest that the nation looks as once before in critical days ftt the steadiness of purpose and firmness of determination which shall see this struggle through to a decision that shall make the masters of Ger many que the day they unmasked their purpose an1 challenged our republic

AMERICA SHOULD DECLARE WAR

break up both Austria and Turkey and insist on liberty for the subject races in the two countries our talk about making the world same for democracy is a sham"
 Colonel Roosevelt compared the agi- tators of the Industrial Workers of the World and Germanized American so cialists to the forces of anarchy and despotism in Russia, who, he said, un- der the leadership of demagogues and sinister or impractical doctrines, be- come the worst foes of liberty and de- mocracy.
 These men," he declared, "are of precisely the same type as the men who seek to tear free Russia to pieces, whose excesses and follies have thrown great tracts of her territory under the feet of the German aggressor, and who continuously threaten either to render her a by-word of failure or else to re- enthrone some of the old tyranny. Let us shun as we would shun the plague. both the white terror of reaction and l the red terror of revolution" Prior to his address, Colonel Roose : welt reviewed the Princeton under graduate battalion.

PLEA FROM FARM
 FUR COOPERATION
 AGAINST AUT0CRACY
Republican A. p. Leased WlreI

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 16.-A plea from the farm for closer cooperation with other branches of the nations industries to the end that victory over autocracy might sooner be achieved, and reports from two great labor organizations in the British en- pire, stating that union labor there still faces the enemy determined and confident of victory, brought enthusi- astic cheers from the delegates at tending todays session of the S7tn annual convention of the American Federation of Labor.
 The farmers were represented by A. C. Townley. president of the Farm CTS Non-Partisian League and L. V. StraNer, second vice. president of the National Farmers congress. Eman- uel Kovelski, of Rochester, reported on the last annual covention of the Canadian Trades and Labor council, and John Golden, president of the United Textile Workers, and James Lord, president of the mining de- partment of the federation, reported on the meeting of the British trades union congress and the allied labor conference.
 We found" said MT. Golden, "a people who have held fast to their ideals confident that their sacrifices have not been in vain. Union labor in Great Britain believes that when it is all ended, the gates to greater liberties. greater lives and an endur- ing democracy will be opened through the world.
 We were assured from what we heard and saw" he continued, that no matter what the cost in suffer ing. the armies and the peoples of the allied countries are going on to R victorious c2nclusian, victory that will mean the beginning of the end of militarism all over the world"
 The committees spent another busy day. Two resolutions having to do with the federation's close relations with the federal government on war work are understood to be giving the federation leaders some concern. Either one of them, it is said, is like ly to precipitate sharp debate on the floor of the convention.
 One of the resolutions was in- troduced by delegates representing the bridge and structural iron work CTS The preamble declares that American labor is loyal and deter mined to use it's best efforts to es- tablish and maintain the cooperation of all organized workers to assist the government to carry on the war. It states that a great amount of the materials necessary for government work is being furnished by the Unit ed States Steel corporation and the Bethlehem Steel corporation for wort erected by or through firms who are

 CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-A bomb. length of lead pipe filled with black powder and with a fuse lighted, was placed tonight in front of the main floor of the Auditorium the ater just as the performance ot Dinorah was begun. A half hour later, just before the end ot the first act, flame shot up from the bomb, the occupants of the seats on that floor of the building surged in panic toward the exits and Galli- Curci, aided by the artists of the Chicago Grand Opera company, started The Star Spansled Banner, the audience joined in, the fuse was extineuished and quiet re- stored.
 The bomb was taken for inVesti- cation. by officials of the fire de- partment and federal agents at once began an effort to learn who placed it in the building.
 Whether it was intended as a protest against the extravaganee of grand opera, the rich gowns and jewels of the theater- eoers and the hich saIaried vocalists in these war times or whether it was a demon stration of an enemy aliens fright fitness could not be learned to- night.
 Two women who occupied seats near where the blazes fIared up, told Hinton Clabaugh of the fed eral department of justice that three men of marked German ap- pearance had sat near them and had left soon after the auditorium was darkened.
 An effort is being made to learn to whom the seats were sold.
 An incipient panic which fol- lowed an unexplained burst of flame was stiIled by Director Cam panini swinging the orchestra into "The Star SpaneIed Banner
 The firemen finally concluded that the flames which caused the first fright had been connected in some way with the bomb, which also emitted noxious odors. It was found near the close of the first act, while Galli-Curci was singing a Breton folk sonn. Nearly one third of the patrons left their seats.
 GalIi-Curci led in the singing of the national anthem, the patrons joining until repose was restored.
 A woman who was sitting near where the bomb was found said she remembered stumbling against some object as she passed to her chair. It is believed that the bomb contained some mechanism that caused it to burst into flames when moved slightly.
 Mrs. George c. Hixon, who occupi the seat under which the bomb W found, told the authorities what s had seen. T was intent upon the O era she said, when I saw a lit burst of flame under the seat. I'll seat, which was on the aisle, had be occupied by man in evening clotht

FL PASO. Nov. 16.-The Mexican consulate general here was advised late this afternoon of the departure from Ojinaga of Francisco Villa with upward of 1000 men. Porfirio Ornelas, with four hundred to five hundred men is left in command of the cap tured border port. According to the advices received by the consul general the Villa followers rode away in the general direction of La Mula pass, which is on the road to Chihuahua City. Reports from the latter place in dicate that the populace is in a panic, fearing attack by the bandits. General Francisco Murguia commander of the government forces in northern Mexico, left Chihuahua a week ago with the major portion of the garrison and is re- ported to be in the vicinity of Saltillo, Coahuila. Villa followers, operating south of Chihuahua, have cut the rail- road and are reported entrenched along the lire and prepared to resist any at tempt by Murguia to return north.
 The presence of Villa bandits within 30 miles of Juarez seems to be proven by the attack upon party of American duck hunters today near Fabens. 32 miles east of here. These men were hunting close to the international line when some shots were fired upon them by roughly dressed Mexicans wearing red arm bands. Jeff L. Glaves, an Fl Paso fro department captain, was shot through the thighs by a bullet from a high power rifle. Wounded and dazed, he staggared across the line where he was struck with a rifle butt and robbed of his shotgun, rifle and a small amount of cash. He was later brought to Fl Paso and placed in a hospital. It is said he will recover. The scene of the shooting is a woody river bottom where the boundary is marked only by few weed covered monuments. The hunters insist that both they and their asasilants were on American soil when the fusillade began.
 At military headquarters 1t was an- nounced late this afternoon that a motorcycle machine gun company and a company of infantry had been dis patched to Presidio to assist in guard ing the interned Mexican federal sol- diers. This makes four companies sent from here for that purpose. Army of ficers said that no decision had been reached as to the disposition of the interned men.

PRINCETON, N. J., Nov. 16.- Theodore Roosevelt, in an address here tonight declared that to make the world safe for democracy demands ar immediate declaration of war by this country against Austria and Turkey. He urged that the United States take some action toward establishing a per- manent policy of preparedness and compared pacifists and pro-Germans to disintegrating forces in Russia.
 we announced that our purpose was to make the world safe for democracy said Colonel Roosevelt. This pledged us to immense sacrifices in hard and dangerous crusade, immensely right eous, but for an object in which our own concern was slight. Our grievance was against Germany, but a pledge to make the world safe for democracy is a solemn engagement to smash the two nations which most conspicuously make democracy unsafe within their own borders, Austria and Turkey.
 This war has shown that Austria has become a subject ally of Germany and an enemy of freedom and civili- zation. Unless we resolutely intend to
