ALLIED TROOPS ARE
NOT ENDANGERED

Washington. Nov. e4.--Overnight
advices on the economic and military
situation Russia have encouraged
United States officials tobelieve that
the American and the allied forces
operating toward Moscow. AS a COM
mon meeting place, are not endanger-
ed by the apparent military donina-
ton OF the Bolshevist Red Guards.
In the minds OF many in Washing
ton, the terrible excuses of the armed
mobs Of Petrograd in the past week
are the last flames from the conflagra-
ton, which burst forth when the Boil
sheviks realized that the German
caused was lost and that the peasantry
of Russia had at last awakened to the
true conditions under which Russia
withdrew from the great war A
prominent official today said:
The wholesale slaughter of Rus
sian army officers and others. who
were aligned with the mobiles of Rus
STA gives proof that the Bioshevists
waning. and that they must stop not
even at terrorism IL they are to re-
tain the power over the pation's
finances they now hold"
1t is pointed out here that the pres
ent internal struggle in Russia is a
result of the deplorable state into
which the economic machinery of the
nation has fallen. Since Russia made
peace under pressure with the CEN
trail powers, her markets have been
dominated by German merchants,
who sought by every means to pour
into the country the products of Ger
man factories made during the first
two years Of the war.

PRAISE WORK Of THE
JEWISH WELFARE.

New York Nov. 24.-Messages from
President Wilson and Marshal Foch
praising the work of the Jewish Wei
fare Board were read today at the
annual meeting of the board which
was attended by representatives OF
sixteen Jewish organizations located
in various sections of the country.
Raymond p. Fosdick. Jacob II.
Schiff and Colonel Harry Cutler were
the principal speakers. Mr.. Fosdick
brought the following letter from
President Wilson: THE annual meet
ing of the Jewish Welfare Board af-
fords me an opportunity to express
my personal appreciation of the ad-
mirable work which this organization
has been carrying on with our troops
at home and abroad. IT has pro-
vided generously for soldiers and sail
ors of all faiths and Secretary Baker
and Mr.. Fosdick have both spoken of
the value of its work in maintaing
the morale of our fighting men.
MAY | not. therefore, express in
this brief note my wish for its con
tinued success.
Marshal Foch's message r a
Deeply touched by the feelings that
inspired your cablegram. | thus ten
der to your adherents my sincere
thanks in the name OF the allied
armies"
Mr. Scl,if in his address dwelt upon
the Importance of the work 20 he done
after the war. Dem mobilization should
not mean decentralization, he said.
Until now the soldier has had a ire
mendous impetus in the drilling con-
slant exercise and in battle. He has
had no time in loafing or for things
not worthy OF thought 1t is diff
ferent now. We must have many
thousands OF soldiers over there for
a year or more and must see to ii
that they do not forget themselves
We must furnish them with teachers
and all so/5s of diversions and when
they come back they will be men OF
whom we can all be proud--,nen who
will make the Jewish people proud
of them

tary McAdoo 1t is possible that Presi-
dent Wilson may postpone his visit
abroad. Assurances already given by
the president to leaders in Europe,
however, give cause for the belief
that he will not change his plans at
this late hour.
Houston Stock Goes Up.
Secretary Houston appears to be
more generally accepted now as a
possibility for the delegation than
earlier in the week. In some quarters
it is stated fatty that he is a Certainty.
1t is known that President Wilson
respects highly the talents of the
secretary of agriculture, and his grasp
of international law problems. While
it is known that Secretary Houston
has counselled the president in the
handling OF many of the nation
problems growing out of the entrance
into the war. 1t has been the thought
among many observers that his in
fiuence in administration counsels
was not such as. would make his
selection foregone conclusion.
In connection with prediction OF the
probable selections to be made by the
president, however, it must be re-
membered that in previous appoint
ment, he has often gone without the
circle of men nationally recognized
as leaders

ton of Bernard NJ. Baruch as a pos

features of the developments in cir

hdmself asz.a candidate and would
accept the position only under ex-

that his name has been urged before

lisve that no direct profrer OF the
position has been made him by the

no real hardships.
Coal presented one OF the great
problems Of the war. Coal is a vital
necessity to all forms OF war work
to the factories that produced war
materials. the homes Of the workmen.
the railroads and ships that trans
port goods to all parts of this coun-
try. and to our soldiers abroad. Many
miners had been called into the
army; the depleted number that re-
manned must produce more coal than
had ever been mined before. to sup
ply the wartime need.
Miners "Comc Back"
Miners who had long considered
themselves ION the shelf" who had
Accumulated enough money to tide
to come back TO the mines to- help
defeat the German. Miners in the
south gave up their Labor Day holi-
day--a day which means more to the
workman than almost any other In the
year. They remained steadily on the
JOB, and have accomplished a great
task
But the Job is not finished, The la
Dor department keeps this message
before the workman: Not until
peace is actually signed will we have
peace. The processes of production
must go on and on: there must be
food. coal. and clothing enough for
the world"
In all these mighty fcats Of labor

of wheat the building of countless
tone of shipping. the mining of coal
for thousands of industries and a
great army and navy-American en-
ployers have, on the whole, stood
arm with labor. Such men is VAN
derlip and Schwab have realized. and
have said. that the stime is at hand
when the workingman. whether he
works with his hands or his brain, is
the only man who really counts.
The men who work with brain have
done their full share with those who
give their Drawn. There have been.
of course. a few employers who have
refused to move forward. and who
have closed their eyes to the trend of
the times. There was. for example,
the man who asserted his right TO
burn his factory rather than let the
nation or the workman have anything
to say about its operation. There was
also the large New England firm
which, by it's autocratic methods of
dealing with the help, forced the ma
ton to act in its own behalf. But
such employers are as rare as the ir-
responsible agitator, The old type of
business man who considered his own
interests against the world has seen
his day and will never return.

Annapolis, Md, Nov. 2a.-The
action OF Substitute Saunders. of the
navy eleven. in running out from the
side lines and tackling Eileson, OF
Great Lakes, in his run down the
f,eld in the final period of yesterday
game has provided a subject for w2t'1
discussion. "
While the matter was ended by the
navy authorities conceding the touch
down, rule experts arc deeply interest
ed in the discovery that there is no
way In which a touchdown could be
awarded as a penalty undsr the rules.
Some of the navy supporters are
inclined to believe that Ingram had
carried the ball across the goal line
and properly downed it before Eileson
got 1t, but there Is no thought OF any
protest, The ma jorit- believe he lost

Scaffe who has a badly twist ed
ankle, was the only navy man hurt

created which worked its way north
through the Mississippi and Missouri
valleys to the Canadian border with
all the precision OF victorious army

wheat crop was saved, and that of

was also gathered.
While this great project was under
