Sam Gompers Must Fight
To Remain in the Saddle

WASHINGTON-What promises to
be bitter struggle within the Amer
ican Federation of Labor with the
leadership of Samuel Gompers possi-
bly, at stake, is developing as result
of the decision of Gompers and the ex-
ecutiye officials not to take part in
the, Russian called international So
cialist conference, September to 16.
The American Federation of Labor,
Gompers stated, will not participate in
the Stockholm conference principally
on patriotic grounds, believing it might
prove embarrassing to the government.
Gompers maintains the decision will
remain unchanged despite the decision
of the British Labor Congress to take
part.
1t is admitted the British action will
add to the munition of the Socialists
and pacifsts In and out of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor, who have
been vociferous in denouncing Comp
ers for his cooperation with the gov
ernment through the Council of Ma

that this dissatisfaction is to be found
mainly among the foreign elements.

FRENCH CRITICS
HIGH In PRAISE
OF YANKEE BOYS
YOUNG AMERICAN S0LDIER S
QUICK TO LEARN AND ANXIOUS
TO HELP

PARASITIC military critic of the
Paris daily "L'Intransigeant' gives an
enthusiastic account of the American
troops now training near the front. At
ter paying an admiring tribute to
"Sammy's'' physical attractions, he
cites French captain. who is instruc-
tor in the American camp, as proof that
Sammy" is as good as he looks when
it comes to work:
"These American boys are surprising
US the way they are catching on. One
feels at once that they are in dead
earnest to learn all we can teach them
about methods Of fighting. Every new
them. We have only to give them a
demonstration. They repeat right
away with hardly a mistake.
"You see that lot over there? They
are learning to dig modern trenches
and the sergeant who is supervising
them, handles them exactly as if they
were his own spoilus." Another
thing which strikes us about them, is
their astonishing docility with regard
to their French instructors. Nothing
in their behavior denotes the 'saviours
of France" On the contrary, their
sole idea for the moment seems TO be
to become disciplined pupils.
This sign of their confidence in US
has touched us deeply. They are all
burning with impatienoe TO make them
selves useful. Already they have taken
over all the auxiliary services in this
region guarding of bridges. railroads
and construction of shelters. There's
nothing Of the amateur about Sammy"
and he is proving it every day.

WOMEN OF RED CROSS
SCORE ANOTHER SUCCESS
Dance, Open-Air Concert and Ice
Cream Social Prove Enjoyable in
Every Way

Considering the disadvantages they
were working under in giving their
dance yesterday evening, the ladies of
the Moscow Chapter of the Red Cross
made success of the entertainment.
There was a little misunderstanding
regarding the place of the sale of the
ice cream. Postmaster Morgareidge
has taken the position that the federal
government will not permit the use Of
the grounds of federal offices. The re-
freshments were therefore served in
front of Red Cross headquarters. The
proceeds from the dance and the ice
cream amounted to $34.50 The dance
and the open-air concert were in eve

SPEAKS HIGHLY
OF IDAHO AND
Her SCHOOL MEN
MAN WHO HAS TRAVELLED EX.
TENSIVELY IN STATE GIVES
HIS IMPRESSIONS

W. Karl Hopkins, former superin
tendent of Alpine district school a
Lehi, Utah, now with CHM & Co., pub
fishers, was in Moscow Friday visiting
with Superintendent j. H. Rich. Mr.
Hopkins had the following to say con
corning conditions in Idaho:,
II have visited practically all of the
larger independent school districts il
Idaho this month, starting at Pocatello
August l. In my visits in eastern and
southern Idaho took particular pains
to inquire of superintendents and
principals how they felt toward the
new education order of things nj Idaho
Without exception found them solidly
behind Commissioner Bryan and Pres
ident Lindley. Those who regretted to
see Commissioner Sisson and President
Brannon leave the state are now heart
and soul with the new administration.
They are unit in declaring that the
new men, Bryan and Lindley, were Sc
lected on merit alone, and that Idaho
is indeed fortunate in securing the
services of two such noted educators.
Il was especially interested to find
this united sentiment among school
men, continued Mr.. Hopkins, be
cause down in Utah two years ago we
had revolutionary upheaval at our
state university, from which we have
rapidly recovered, until today we have
a better university than ever before
with perfect harmony and united effort
among the school people of the state.
To find Idaho educators so positive that
there will be new growth educational
ly in Idaho, and to find them with such
implicit confidence in Commissioner
Bryan and President Lindley was to me
indeed impressive
II was astonished also, at the money
Idaho has expended for school build
ings, especially her high schools. She
is certainly to be congratulated upon
the splendid educational enthusiasm
of her people, who are determined that
the schools continue, even if we are
facing the most remarkable war the
world has ever known.
"Never have I met more courteous,
4 better prepared, higher class, or
more loyal, devoted set of superintend-
,nts and principals than / have met
n Idaho"
