The case was taken to the president
as a last resort by labor leaders and
hundreds Of thousands of citizens to
avert what they regarded as a fragrant
miscarriage of justice about to be seal
| ed with blood.
These pleas were supplemented by
letters from Russian peasants, SOL
diers and students who regard the
Mooney case as similar to the no.
torious Beiliss conviction which re-
suited in protest from this country.
The recent American commission to
Russia reported upon its return that
the Mooney verdict was breeding a
cynical spirit there toward decla-
ration Of high motive in entering the
war.
1t was being used by pro-German
propagandists to destroy Russian con-
f1dence in the United States and to
further impair its efficiency in the
war, the commission stated.
President Wilson seemed convinced
that thorough investigation in the
Mooney prosecution was essential to
the success of the new labor mission
soon to be sent to Petrograd to stiffen
the Slavic spirit.

But this didn't satisfy him any
more than it would satisfy certain

manded of the Confederates that they

clined to do any such thing, or in any
other way to help him become q

loyalty. He made his way to Bermuda

mocracy and liberty, and you are coming to us in France not so much to help your allies as to help make the world what 1t ought to be. The sword of the United States has been drawn not alone to help France but to protect and more securely estab- lish democracy"
 Carrying further his thought of de- mocracy. the speaker, pointing to- the Stars and Stripes, said:
 Your flag bears forty-eight stars, representing forty-eight states. Each state has its own legislature, but all are subject to Federal laws that were made for all. May we not hope for the day when all the nations of the earth will be united as are your states. strictfonS that will make it forever impossible for some autocrat to play havoc iwitn the universe ?''rn
 M. viviani paid a fervent tribute to the men in the trenches.
 History he said, Twill preserve for all time the names of distinguished statesmen and generals. By far the great majority of those who fall on the firing line will never be known except in the homes from which they are missed. Their identities will live only in the hearts of the few who loved them. But their kin will have the comfort of knowing that those who fell for France and America died that their children and their children's children might be free of the ghost of autocracy."
 X At the dinner which followed his address M. Viviani, who seemed to have recovered somewhat from the fatigue which he showed plainly upon his arrival in the city, toasted the club, the city. the state. President Wilson. and all America, the warmth of whose welcome, he said, had warmed the hearts of the mission, and constituted one of the happiest gifts that the great republic had made to its sister repub- lie overseas.

MIRAGE MAY STOP
 WAR FOR A TIME
; Thirst and Heat Among Things
 Confronted in the East

Cairo, May 14.-"Operations had to be temporarily suspended owing to a mirage" says an official communica- tton from the Diala front, describ- ing minor strategic movement there It Is Q reminder that, despite modern war inventions. there Is 1t least one front where world-old conditions still play a dominating part. Thirst, heat. and mirage are among the most im- portant factors to be considered in far
 Eastern campaigning, just as they were twenty centuries and more ago.
 Although the why and wherefore of the mirage is better understood now than then. the British troops in Sinai and Mesopotamia have frequently been held up and mystif1ed by the vision of lakes and trees. just as were the soldiers of Joshua or Alexander. k On the occasion referred to in the the mirage was of minor character, preventing reliable reconnaissances. .On similar oc- casion some time ago, 1t produced the enect of the appearance of big Turk tsh endorsements which necessitated caution until their phantom character had been established.
 Mirages seriously interferred with Egyptian campaign, and 1t was due to the Investigations of French scientist who accom- panied that expedition that they were first traced to tricks of atmospheric. re- fraction.

WHAT AMERICANS CAN DO

Luke Doyle, Driver of Ambulance for
 American Field Corps, to Tell of
 Work at Lyceum sTheaeer May 20. Z The work which the American Field Ambulance corps is contributing to the French cause in the European conflict, will be wildly pictured by Luke Doyle of Worcester, Mass. at . lecture to be given in the Lyceum theater May 29. Having seen service as driver of one of the American ambulances at the front for many months, MT. Doyle Is ably qualified to picture the deeds that are daily per formed by the gallant band of Amerf-s cans assisting in this work.
 During one of the hardest battles Of the war on the western front, Mir. Doyle narrowly escaped death when a German shell struck his machine. killing his companion driver and in- turing him to the extent that he was confined in a hospital for several months. The lecture will be illus trated by four British war films and two French films.
 MT. Doyle, several weeks ago, spoke before a large audience In Hartford. and created such an impression that imm ediately work on raising funds for the contribution of ambulances was started, and in a brief short time, sufficient money was available

 He pleaded for ''spiritual union across the sea-" which he said would forever safeguard the principles of true democracy. The present war, he said, must be fight to finish. and there must be only the thought Of vic- tory in the minds of all the allies. If u German victory were possible, he added, the free peoples of the world. those of America included would be reduced to ''servitude and slavery"
 After leaving the library. members of the mission paid a short visit to the local headquarter of tho American Fund for French Wounded. They were then driven to the Peter Bent Brig ham hospital, where they viewed the work of the Surgical Dressings com mittee. Then flying trip was made to Cambridge, and M. viviani called at the home of President Lowell. He expressed, regret at being unable to be at the university Saturday to, re- ceive the honorary degree which was to have been conferred upon him.
 The visitors day closed with a re- ception and dinner at the City club
  ium by M. viviani. which evoked . demonstration that the speaker de- clared would be one of the pleasantest memories of his mission to America. Encouraged, evidently. by the realiza- tion that very large percentage or his 2,00O auditors followed his French without difiiculty. M. Viviani spoke for nearly an hour. .s
 The City club established two prece- dents. It gave a dinner to a guest on Sunday. and the audience stood on their feet throughout his address. The only smile that frightened the grave face of the orator broke when at the conclusion of his address the pre- siding officer called for a rising vote' of thanks. When the laughter had ceased a show of hands was substi- tuted. Always sympathetic. his hear CTS in several instances interrupted the speaker with applause and cheers that continued for several minutes.
 City Club Democracy of Society.
 "In this city, foremost in learning of American cities" said M. viviani, "I find a democracy unknown in France. The City club represents a democracy of society. Eligibility de- bends only upon character. efficiency, and capacity for citizenship. I pray fervently that this democracy may overspread Europe. This is one of the great gifts that America will give to France, and 1t is for democracy that you will fight. In joining France in this war the United States will not be paying . debt.
