HIGH COST VERY REAL

"The cost of living is net theory with the workers, it is plain, unvar- nished tale that cannot be explained away by sophstry. The United States bureau of statistics shows that living costs are mounting higher and higher Its report for August. this year, shows sn increase of per cent over last July, an in crease of b per cent between August last year and August this year, and an increase of 70 per cent during the five-year period between August 1913, and August 1918.
 The right to live comes first and workers will resist any attempt to reduce their living standards. in view of pres ent costs, even though some employer talks of capturing the markets of the world.
 T am hopeful that the best talk among employers and other elements or our citizenship will agree that nothing will create more internal tumult than the denial that the highest possible liV- ing standards for workers is the first requisite for the America we dream to have.
 The eight-hour day should be accept ed by every manufacturer. Not only be- cause the transition to a peace basis may be orderly through the quick assimlia- tion of workers, but for the larger req sons that have so often been advanced in favor of a shorter work day.

gested, supposed that America having achieved her aims, would return to her detachment and allow the countries in tina tely concerned to arrange a set clement according to the European viewpoint. of the situations.
 These statesmen made It plain that they would receive every friendly coun- sel the United States would offer, the more so because they knew that Amer ica wanted nothing in material way for herself, but was interested only in realizing her ideals. The losses the other belligerents have suffered in com 'parison with those of the United States, also have been cited as a reason for the ,allles having a predominant influence in shaping the new order in Europe.
 These were some of the conceptions put forward by the allied governments with such tenacity and skill, but always in a friendly spirit.
 GREAT EFFORT RESULTS
 The contentious of the American gov ernment generally and substantially were that it had come into the war not alone on account of any specific grievances against Germany, but on &C., count also of certain Fundamental prin- ciples of justice and right Those prin- ciples had been announced with full ness several times by the American government and has resulted in great effort by the American people.
 Looked at from Washington, these principles each time they had been enunciated in part or in whole had been received favorably by the Euro pean peoples and seemingly by the allied nations. It was not meant to be under stood that the American government had thought that the allied govern ments had formally accepted them, but the attitude of the ministers unofficial ly and of the press and of all eminent men outside the immediate administra- tion and of the peoples as a whole had caused the conviction to prevail in America that these principles had been approved and accepted as ideals on which the war was being prosecuted. PRESENT CLEAN ISSUE The American people never had been conscious that they were fighting for territorial or colonial interests of any allied governments. excepting in so far as these came within the framework of the American governments princi- ples Recently it was necessary to bring out that these points, having been ac- cepted by the central powers, presented a clean issue as to whether they were to be accepted by the allied powers in l totality.

Secretary of Federation of Labor Says Decrease in Wages Will Mean Lower
 Living Standard

washington. November 25,-Reduetion of present wage seaies in the United States will be opposed by the workers, Frank Morrison, secretary of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, said in a statement tonight dealing with recon struction as it affects labor. Any de- creases in wages will mean. a lowering of living standards, he said, and this work men will resist.
 sRegardless of the wishes of individu- als, or groups" said MT. Morrison, any reduction of present wage scales in this country will be opposed by the workers, who will not accept wage reductions for the simple reason that this procedure will lower their standard of living. And, by standard of living, I refer to sub stantial food, clothing. housing and all neceSsaries to q well ordered life.

This presented rather delicate issue at the outset, as it was realized that it might require the submission of the entire subject to the American delegates. The European min isters felt the force of the view pre- sented and this in time brought about an entire agreement upon the American points as basis of peace negotia- tions.

JUSSERAND TO SAIL
Ambassador J. J. Jusserand of Franc

Ambassador J. J. Jusserand of France and Mrs. Jusserand will accompany President Wilson to France. The am bassador has not had vacation since he rushed back to America at the out break of the European war and he goes to join in his peoples celebration over victory and probably to play part Tn the peace conference.
 E Mt became known today that he had
 been invited to make the voyage on
 the ship that carries the presidential party. The invitation from the Presi- dent is regarded as special tribute to France and also as mark of high esteem which President Wilson enter
 tains personally for the ambassador ! Ambassador Jusserand and Mrs. Jus serand tonight gave the first reception held at the French embassy since the
 beginning of the war.
 The occasion was the celebration of the entry of Marshal Foch into Strass-
 burg, capital of Alsace, at the head of
 Franco-American forces, and the guests
 included President Wilson and Mrs
 Wilson, members of the cabinet, diplo- matic representatives of the allied and
 neutral countries and army and naval officers.
 PLANS UNKNOWN Although week or more has gone by since it was announced that the President would go to Europe immedi- ately after the convening of Congress next Monday, nothing has been made known concerning his plans, such as the sailing time or whether he will first visit France or Englandr From preparations being made in England for his reception, is generally believed that the President will go to that country to stay several days be- fore continuing to Paris. It is known
 that several representatives of the gov ernment have preceded him to England to arrange for his stay there,
 There also has been no announcement
 as to what ship the President will use in making the voyage
 It was said at first that he would cross on the former North German Lloyd liner Kaiser Wilhelm, which had a special suite for the Kaiser. When preparations for the use of this ship were under way, however, there was a
 change of plans and it now is said that
 he will cross on the George Washing
 ton, another former German liner seized in an American port when this
 nation entered the war.

Carrying out his policy of work or

Secondly, he would transfer to war
tasks men now in non-ess entail indus

The plan, it is stated at the provost

to Secretary Baker. Baker himeslf

idea. but that it has not been acted on.
The plan is the outgrowtL of Crowd

to forty and forty.five for industrial
purposes, which was laid aside for
the present.
Crowder's plan would affect about
four million men now in classes two

and class five being the totally exempt

the motor roaring louder and louder.
The plane struck with an echoing
crash in field about 200 yards from
village, just behind the American
lines.
An ambulance patrol went out, and,
returning, reported that the nose of
the plane had torn a huge hole in
the earth, the engine completely

plane was battered to bits.
