Preparation for Long
War To Be Keynote
Of Allied Conference

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The state
nent of Premier Lloyd George vester-
day that "the way to shorten the war
was to prepare for a long war;" was
accepted in Washington to-day to be
the keynote for the inter-Allied con-
ference, which will open in Paris on
November Is. His declaration that the
conference meant to determine the
ultimate issue Of the war evoked no
authoritative explanation. but it was
said at an Entente embassy that the
conference was to be more military
than political, and that the Premier's
statement probably referred to the mil
itary issue rather than to political
questions. -,
The announcement that America will
participate in the new conference,
which Premier Lloyd George asserts
/ will be the most important OF all yet
/ held, marks radical departure IN TINS
| country's war policy.
The State Departments ban upon the
! discussion of the objects of the confer
/ ence and upon the personnel selected
to represent the United States has not
been lifted, so that it is impossible to
outline the measures President VII
sons delegates will insist upon, th'
counsel they will give to the Allies anc
the promises they will make in tn
name of America. There is no doubt
however, that these delegates will sub
scribe 20 the sentiment expressed b!
LLOYD George that "there will be N
peace in the world until the shrine o
the war spirit in Potsdam is shattere
and its priesthood is dispersed an
discredited forever"
In the announced participation in IN
conference of representatives of IN
Russian democracy, as contrsdlSin
guished from the military representa-
tive of that country, General Alexie
= has suggested the probability that tn
conference in final act will restat
the war aims of the Allies, as the Rus
sian government is committed to oh
tain from the Allies a restatement Q
p these war aims.

Italian Makes Record
Flight to Mineola
Second Aviator Beats Time OF
First From Langley Field,
in Virginia

MINEOLA, Long Island, Oct. %
The record made by an Italian scout
aeroplane yesterday was broken to-
day, when a biplane driven by Lieu
tenant BalIerini. another Italian avia-
tor, swooped down to the Mineola All
alton field at 1910. Lieutenant Bal
lerini had left Langley Field, at Hamp-
ton, Va, at $3.50. His fight time was
fifteen minutes less than the best
made yesterday, due, probably. as he
explained, to favoring winds. Another
Italian army officer accompanied him.
This afternoon Lieutenant Atillo
Baldroli, in Polmilio machine, had
the entire field agog at his audacious
feats, some Of which were performed
at an altitude of $4,000 feet. He
looped the loop, few topsy-turvy and
dropped headlong for thousands of
feet. Not the least daring Of his tricks
was climbing by spirals, which neces-
states almost continual banking.

Cry for Carson's Arrest

Here cries were: "Why don't you
arrest de Valera?" And the Nation
alist cry: "Why don't you arrest Car
I son ?"
The Secretary continued after the in
terruptions: while we hope that the
new constitution is in the making and
while the mass of Irishmen are satls-
fed they can keep the controversy
within bounds there will be no arrests.
Nothing would be more helpful to the
propaganda of secession than embarka-
ton on a policy of arrests"
Ex-Premier Asquith followed, ex-
pressing the hope that all the speeches
would be couched in the same temper
ate language, because it was impossible
at the present moment to exaggerate
the Importance, both TO Ireland and
Great Britain. of doing nothing to
prejudice the prospects of real recon
ciliation in Ireland.
He believed he was not taking too
sanguine a view in hoping that within
very few months the government OF the
day would be able to present to Parlia.
ment a scheme for government OF
ireland. acquiesced in by large ma
jority Of the Irish people.

Says SWeden Can't Glue Up
Trade uith Germany

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 23.-Comment
b. Stockholm newspapers concerning
the policy Of the United States toward
neutrals is quoted by the "Berlingske
Tidende." The "Aftonbladet" says that
the exchange of commodities between
Germany and Sweden now comprises
only absolute necessities. II contends
that Sweden cannot give up this trade,
even under the threat Of losing her i'm
ports from America. and is confident
that the government will assert Swed-
ish rights.
"If the parties in the Swedish Rigs
dag believe American plans will be
abandoned when men cherishing great
er sympathy for the Entente enter the
government" says the "Nya Dagligt
Allehanda," "their illusion will be shat
tered. If Sweden gives way to Ameri-
can commands. the situation as between
Sweden and Germany will be untenable.
On the other hand. unless Sweden
yields she will get no imports"

Soldiers Must Aid Kin
Wadsworth Privates Ordered to
Make Allotment to Dependents

CAMP WADSWORTH, S. c., Oct. 30
1t was announced to-day that all the
guardsmen here having dependents
must make allotments of their pay. 1t
was explained that the s30-a-month
private will be called upon to make an
allotment of SIS, and that this sum will
be added to by the government.
Lieutenant Tristan Topper, of the
22d Engineers, has returned from
Washington, where ne familiarized
himself with the government insurance
act for soldiers, and will soon open an
information bureau for the camp.
The court-martisl of Captain II. L.
Sullivan, of Battery ID, I'd Field Ar
tillery, which was to have been held
tomorrow, has been postponed until
Thursday. This is because of the trial
of Lieutenant r. n Matson, of the
Military Police. Lieutenant Matson en-
gagged in a revolver duel three weeks
ago with James Lands, of Spartanburg,
during a raid on an illicit liquor shop.
The officer was shot in the groin, but
succeeded in shooting his opponent
four times. Lands died two days ago.
The trial of Natson is purely a per-
functory matter.

! Volunteer organization, a rebel force
| These men had been told: 1--WE have :
| considerable store OF arms, and shall
/ have more before the fateful day ar
I rives."
The new member from East Clare
Professor dc Valera, was quoted by the
Secretary as having said in a speech
ave have arms and we shall use them
when the time comes. We are ready
and you will be more successful than
YOU were the last time. IL anybody
offers us a helping hand from France,
America or Germany We shall take II.
Germany Offered Aid
The Secretary continued: "The help
ing hand held out at the time OF the
Irish rebellion was Germanys. Last
February. when il became necessary 10
deport from Ireland certain persons, il
was because the helping hand was being
held out again. and the British govern
ment knew il"
Mr.. Duke said that there still were
men who persevered in their determine
tion TO make government in ireland
impossible: they were determined TO
create terrorism in the country IN or
der 70 attain that object, and they had
the pecuniary resources characteristic
of the rebel organization before the re-
Lellion and characteristic of the rebel
organization of to-day. The Irish ad-
ministration was not more prodlgal OF
expenses thar those who were now pur-
suing their mischievous object.
Declaring that in various parts OF
- haf bra hy
the rebel movement, both with regard
to the present and the future, the
Secretary continued:
There is the greatest alarm that at
this stage when il was hoped the con-
vention was about to devise q solution,
that the government Of Ireland may be-
come actually impossible. There exist
two currents of feeling-one IN favor
of passivity in the face Of action OF
the most illegal and dangerous kind;
the other, which believes that unless
freedom from disturbance is maintained
the convention must be defeated.
"The troubles arose in ireland IN
recent weeks because the convention
was doing well. The design of the
Sim Fem leaders requires the failure
of the convention, and their present
manpuvres are directed particularly to
the raising of state Of things, in
which the convention would appear to
be hopeless. The government has TO
deal with that situation, and will do It's
best to prevent criminal acts of that
kind. No criticism should prevent any
government from using any means to
prevent its citizens from being led to
deeds Of violence and criminal miscon-
duct"

Commission Appointed by
Wilson Solves Problem
for 5000 Men
Union Is Recognized
End of Trouble in WATERFOWL
Arsenal Soon Looked For
by Baker

WASHINGTON, Oct 23.-President
Wilson's special labor investigating
commission reported to-day . settle
ment OF the strike Of more than 5000
copper miners In the Globe-hismi dis
trict Of Arizona on a basis which prom
Uses to set a precedent for composing
labor disputes elsewhere.
By providing for resumption OF WORK
immediately the commission paved the
way for arbitrsting other Arizona
copper mins strikes, which have caused
loss of many million pounds OF war
metal in the last four months and re-
suited in deportations OF strikers and
other disorders.
The commission. headed by Secretary
Wilson, is expected TO press for settle
ment Of many other industrial contro-
versies during It's Western tour, OF
which the Arizona agreement Is the
first fruit
Union II Recognized
Acting on the principle that the
prime necessity was to resume active
production TO- war purposes, the COM
mission induced managers Of the Old
Dominion, Miami, Inspiration and In
ternationil smeltsr mines and union
leaders to agree to formation Of griev-
ance committees Of workers for each
mine. Since union organizations are
to be represented on these committees
the agreement was interpreted here as
virtually amounting to union recog
milton by the employers, one of the
principal issues involved in the strike.
Another important principle put into
effect is the cooperation of employers
in distributing the insufficient labor
supply to the mines most needing men.
Unemployment is to be secured
through a central employment bureau
for the district" said Secretary Will
sons report to the President. This
provision is made because the labor
shortage of the district, as well as the
growing labor shortage throughout the
country, requires the full utilization of
all available man power and the regu-
idteu employment Vi tHe mcH Oh

Labor officials here said this ar
rangement was in line with the gov
ernments tentative plan to induce en-
ployers to form associations to deal
collectively with labor questions and
eliminate economically wasteful move
ment Of workmen between industries
or localities.
To Solve Arsenal Problem
The War Department expects to find
a quick solution Of It's arsenal labor
problem. IL was announced to-day that
u representative of the department had
been appointed to confer with the
workmen at the WATERFOWL, Mass, ar
senal, where a strike is in progress.
Some of the strikers, it was stated at
the department, have returned to work. !
Secretary Baker said that War De- ]
psrtment representatives would confer
with the workmen's representatives
wherever there is difficulty. 1t was ex-
planned that at all the army arsenals, I
except at Rock Island, H., where they
were not in close proximity to any |
navy yards, the wage scales put in |
force at the navy yards had been !
adopted at the arsenals. A department |
