Successful Conclusion.

Buffalo, N. Y.-President Wilson, in
a forceful address here on November
II before the American Federation or
Labor, appealed to the working men
Of the United States for cooperation
In the conduct Of the war, and made 1t
clear that he opposes peace until the
war against Germany has been won.
The president declared that his
heart was with "the feeling of the
pacifsts," but that my mind has a
contempt for them"
II want peace, but I know how to
get II and they do not" he declared.
Col. E. NJ. House, head OF the Ameri-
can delegation to the allied war con-
ference. the president said, had been
sent to take part In conference as to
how the war was to be won, "and he
knows, as I know, that that is the
way to get peace II you want It for
more than few minutes"
War Statements Applauded.
The 450 delegates to the convention
and the several thousand persons ad.
mitted to the hail to hear the presi-
dent speak arose and applauded this
declaration with tremendous burst
Of cheers. Another demonstration Of
approval came when he said:
1--WE must stand together night and
day, until this job is finished"
The president, while devoting his
address to problems for the people of
the United States, laid emphasis upon
the broader phases Of the world con-
fiict In a way that seemed to Indicate
that his speech was possibly intended
many, Of Austria and Of Russia, as
well as Of the United States. He de-
clared his belief that were IL not for
the pant Germans, the spirit OF free
dom would find "as fine welcome In
the hearts Of Germans rs II can find
IN any other heart"
Power" he said. "cannot be used
with concentrated force against free
peoples, II II is to be used by free
people"
Speaking. probably Of Austria. Mr..
Wilson referred to the limitations OF
anxiety for peace that had come from
one Of the central powers" and de-
clared that Il means shat the people
In that central power know that II the
war ends as II stands, they will. In
effect, themselves be vassafs Of Ger
many. Notwithstanding that
they do not wish In their pride and
proper spirit Of nationality to be alb
sorbed and dominated"
OF Russia, he said that he was
amazed that some groups In that coun- |
try could suppose that "any reform |
plans In the interest Of the people can |
live In the presence Of Germany pow
erful enough to undermine or over
throw them by intrigue or force"
Paolfists Are Fatuous.
"Fatuous ms the dreamers of Rus |
sia," were those persons In this coun- |
try, no declared emphatlrally. who |
suppose that "the free industry and
enterprise Of the world can continue
II the pan-German plan is achieved
and the German power fastened upon
the world"
The president directly asserted that
Germany had started the war and said
he would leave confirmation of this
to the verdict Of history.
He referred to Germany's growth to a
''place In the sum-" and asked why she
was not satisfied when she gained that
position. In answer he described the
German governments methods of con-
tho competition OF Its indus
tries and asserted that "all the while
there was lying behind Its thought, In
It's dreams for the future. a political
control which would enable II In the
ong run TO dominate the labor and In
lustry of the world"
Through r. r. a Force Threat.
Mr.. Wilson cited In this connection
he Berlin-to- Bagdad railway which,
10 said, twas constructed to run the
hreat of force down the flank of the
Industrial undertakings of half dozen
,ther countries, so that when German
came In II would not be
resisted too far because
here was always the possibility of
,etting German armies into the heart
# that country quicker than any other
Irmies could get there"
Summing IL up, he said that Ger
many is determined that the political
lower of the world shall belong to
Ter, and that never before had such
mbitions been based upon so exact
nd precise and scientific plan of
domination.
The president voiced In terms of
ulogy his approval of the conduct OF
