Turning to the Anilitary situation,
the president said that II Germany

AMERICAN FIELD HEADQUAR-
TIERS, France, Nov. 12.-America's
Industrial generals and captains now
aiding the army in France were today
moulding into separate, distinct
force in a new transportation depart
ment created by order Of General
Pershfng. Major General W. W. At
terbury, who was formerly operating
head of the Pennsylvania roadway
lines was named as commander In
chief of the new unit "The new or
ganization is already achieving excle.

clared. "Thus through the industrial
generals and captains, American or
ganizing ability is supporting the gem
erals and captains of fighting forces"
The rearrangement means that
hereafter the quartermaster's corps
will be only distributing factor in
the general supply scheme. The trans
portation department will handle all
transportation Of troops and material
from vessel to rail heads.
It will likewise have charge of con-
struction work for transportation thus
relieving American army engineers Of
a big portion Of their present task.
The announcement was made by
General Pershing after a complete
tour of inspection of all ports of ar
rival, communication lines, supply
bases and general depots. 1t was plain
the American commander in chief was
pleased with the entire layout.
Thanks to the efficiency Of the
British, French and American naval
protection" he said, German subma-
rines have not claimed a single life
of an American soldier on troop
ship bound for France. Troops and
supplies are arriving in increasing
numbers"
General Pershing was also enthus-
iastic over the types Of officers now
arriving after graduation from Ameri-
can training camps.
I'VE have every reason to be proud
of them he said. Their character,
intelligence and eagerness prove the
thoroughness Of training camp meth

BUFFALO, N. Y. Nov. 12.-Presl-
dent Wilson came here today to ad-
dress the war convention OF the Am
erican Federation of Labor.
With charges of German agents
being among the delegates, 1nsinuar
tions that the American BolshevikI
are at work In 1t, and Samuel Comp
ers making his fight for reelection
as president on ware platform, the
federation faced the most important
convention in its thirty-seven years
history.
This was the first time in history
that q chief executive OF the United
States has talked directly to the ma
tons labor representatives.
AS the convention opened, Presi-
dent A. A. Landon. OF the chamber
Of commerce, an associate OF How
ard Coffin in building Americas great
air fleet. warned them against Ger
man agents in their midst.
German propagandists may be
numbered among you," he declared.
They were sin the British pariia-
ment and the Italian and French
chambers OF DEPUTIES. They had
Greece by the throat. And II such Is
the case, why should they not be IN
our own legislative -bodies?"
Americas national efficiency, Ian
don charged, has slum2ed sixty to
twenty per cent since this country
entered the war.
''If this continues" he declared,
Belgium will be a sideshow to what
Germany will do to us. American
manhood will be digging in all the
way from the Atlantic coast to Buf.
falo and LaFollette and the other
pacifists will either go over to Ge--
many's side or dig In so deep even a
ground hog will not be able to locate
them"
Landon warned against internal
wranglings. They might lead to Ger
man victory, he said. Half hearted
support of the war, he denounced az
treachery to "our flesh and blood in
the trenches. British labor's refusal
to give up usual holidays early in the
war cost thousands Of lives for lack
Of ammunition, Landon asserted.
Formal reports this afternoon were
to show the A. f. of L. had its most
successful year in 1917, entering into
agreements with the government on a
scale undreamed of until the war
suddenly elevated organized labor to
position Of enormous power.
Delegates were aroused by Lam
don's assertion that a German agent
had offered an American $1,000,00
not to make allied munitions.
President Gompers' fight for re-
election is certain to be opposed by
those who object to his war attitude.
Gompers' adherents manifest an in
tention to brand those who oppose
him, as American Bolshevih."
