who understands what this war has
wrought in the opinion and temper
of the world that no general peace,
no peace worth the infinite sacri-
fees of these years of tragical suf-
fering, can possibly be arrived at
in any such fashion. The method
the German chancellor proposes is
the method OF the congress OF
Vienna We cannot and will not
return TO that. What is at stake
now is the peace Of the world. What
we are striving for now is a new
international order based upon
broad and universal principles of
right and justice-no mere peace Of
shreds and patches. Is it possible
that Count Won Hertling does not
see that, does not grasp it, is in
fact living in his thought in a world
dead and gone? Has he utterly
forgotten the reichstag resolutions
of the 18th of July or does he de-
deliberately ignore them? They
spoke Of the conditions Of a gem
eral peace, not Of national aggrand-
izement or of arrangements between
state and state The peace OF the
world depends upon the just settle
ment Of each of the several prob
lens 10 which ] adverted in my re-
cent address TO the congress. I. Of
course, do not mean that the peace
of the world depends upon the .ac-
ceptance of any particular set Of
suggestions as 10 the way in which
those problems are 10 be dealt
with. I mean only that those prob
lens each and all affect the whole
world; that unless they are dealt
with in a spirit of unselfsh and un-
biased justice. with a view 70 the
wishes, the natural connections, the
racial aspirations. the security. and
the peace Of mind of the peoples
involved, no permanent peace will
have been attained. They cannot be
discussed separately or in corners.
None Of them constitutes a private
or separate interest from which
the opinion of the world may be
shut out. Whatever affects the
peace affects mankind. and nothing
settled by military force. if settled
wrong. is settled at all. 1t will
presently have 10 be reopened.

alton is not q mere phrase. II Is
an imperative principle of action.
which statesmen will henceforth
ignore at their peril We cannot
have general peace for the asking
or by the mere arrangements of a
peace conference II cannot be
pieced together out of individual
understandings between powerful
states All the parties to this war
must join in the settlement OF every
issue anywhere involved in it: be-
cause what we are seeking is
peace that we can all unite to guar
antee and maintain and every item
of it must be submitted To the COM
mon judgment whether il be right
and fair. an act of justice rather
than a bargain between sovereigns.
THE United States has no desire
TO interfere in European affairs or
10 act as arbiter in European ter
ritOrial disputes. She would disdain
to take advantage of any internal
weakness or disorder to impose her
own Will upon another people. She
is quite ready to be shown that the
settlements she has suggested are
rot the best or the most enduring.
They are only her own provisional
sketch of principles and of the way
in which they should be applied.
But she entered this war because
she was made a partner, whether
she would or not, in the sufferings
and indignities inflicted by the mill
tary masters of Germany, against
the peace and security of mankind
and the conditions of peace will
touch her as nearly as they Will
touch any other nation 10 which is
entrusted a leading part in the
maintenance of civilization. She
cannot see her way to peace until
the causes of this war are remov-
&C. its renewal rendered as nearly
as may be impossible

DURING LAST TEN DAYS
Strike Caused by Refusal Of Company
to Recognize Head Of Unon-Differ.
ences Probably Will Be Settled With
out Calling in Arbitration Board
Government Represented at Meeting.
Special to Times-Republican.

Dubuque, Aug. 21.-Street car oper-
ators were resumed shortly after 1
o'clock yesterday afternoon following
a conference between traction com
panF officials, union representatives. a
representative of the international
union and a government man. The de-
cision of the men to go back to work
ends a strike that lasted almost ten
days and which caused a complete tie
up of the system here. Not a wheel
turned from the time the men walked
out a week ago Saturday until yester-
day afternoon. Bus service between
this city and East Dubuque also was
resumed.
The agreement which brought the
strike to an end was signed at 1890
o'clock. 1t calls for the selection of
an arbitration board to settle any dis
pute which may arise regarding wages
and working conditions. While the
differences which indirectly caused the
strike have not as yet been
Strengthened out, it was the concensus
of opinion among traction officials and
members of the union committee that
there probably would be no use for a
board Of arbitration. =.
The real cause of the walkout and
resultant tie-up, 1T appears, was the
refusal Of the traction company to
recognize a certain member of the
union committee. This man. Presi-
dent c. NJ. Carroll, head of the. local
organization, attended the conference
held yesterday and which brought the
strike to an end. He signed the agree
ment under which the men returned to
work.
The arbitration board which will be
called upon to settle any further differ
ences between the men and the COM
pany will be composed of men selected
by both sides. The men appointed will
then decide on a third, who will act as
Chairman.

by II. j. Metcalf. state director of the

all the community labor boards in the

are to be given credit for such men as
have already been furnished They are
further instructed to deduct the men
that will be needed to carry on such
war work as is being done within the
boundaries of their own counties. 1t is
estimated that some 1870 men will be
used in war work in Iowa, so that the
number Sf men required to be sent out
of the state numbers little over $500.
The furnishing of these men pre-
sents something of a problem to the

was one of the matters discussed at
the labor meeting held at the state
house on Tuesday. Following the trip
