President Says Peace Talk Evidence of Misdirected
 Thought.
UNBEATEN GERMANY
 MENACE TO WORLD
National Organization is Perfected te Guide and Express Public Opin- ion in Support of Ideals for
 Which |. S. Makes War.

WashingtOn. Oct. S.-An extensive movement to guide and express public opinion was inauGurated here today by the formation of the League of Ma tional Utility, representing church, political labor( agricultural and n- duStral organizations, to which Pres ident Wilson gave his endorsement in an address emphasizing the need for team play by the forces of Amer ica nthought and opinion.
 Welcoming the leaders of the move- ment at the white house, the presi- dent expressed the belief that Ameri- can public opinion, altho understand ing the wars causes and principles, need guidance to remember that the war should end only when Germany is beaten and Germaay's autocracy and might are superseded by the ideals or democracy. This is the issue which the American people should always keep in mind, the president said, in order to avoid being misled into by ways of thought and of the resultant scattering of the force of public opin- ion.
 Talk of early peace before Germany is defeated is one of the evidences of misdirected thought, he suggested, and should not cloud the vision of those who understand that the United States is fighting now for the same ideals of democracy and reedom that have always actuated the nation.
 The president gave warning that it should not be forgotten that German success would mean not only preven- ton of the spread of democracy, but possibly the suppression of that all ready existing.
 vail Active Chairman.
 The league, which will have head quarters in New York, chose as hon. orary chairmen Cardinal Gibbons and Dr. Frank Mason North, president of the Federal Council of Churches. Theodore N. Vail, president of the American Telegraph and Telephone company is active chairman, with Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, Chas. Barrett, president of the Farmers Ed ucational and Cooperative union, and George Pope, president of the Ma tional Association of Manufacturers, as vice chairmen.
 The object was stated as follows: 'To create a medium thru which the local Americans of all classes, sec tions, creeds and parties can give eX- pression to the fundamental purpose of the United States to carry on to suc- cessful termination etaoin shrdlu m cessful conclusion this new war for independence of the Americas and the preservation of democratic instl- tutions, and the vindication of the basic principles of humanity"
 The league plans an active cam paign to educate Americans in the idea that unity of thought and pur- nose is as essential to successful prosecution of the war as co-opera- tion in material preparation. Confer ences of leaders in the numerous or ganizations represented will be held frequently, and attempts will be made to direct public thought thru the medium of the pulpit, press, pub lie platform and many kinds of pub lie. semi1public and private organiza- lions
