fast and finished not only that can
teen, but three others, the largest in
France, and thru them flowed steady
stream of American soldiers, coming
at last to the aid of the glorious
French and British troops, who were
hanging on with bulldog tenacity, hop
ing, hoping, that the United States
would hurry and send the men to turn
the tide.
"The French were impatient-and
justifiably so. They naturally could
not understand why the Americans
did not land million or so men at
once. Came the great German drive,
and over" all France dropped de-
pressing apprehension-but not an ap-
prehension that had in it the slight
est hint of willingness to admit de-
feat, or a despairing slackening of
resistance. By that time the Ameri-
cans had come in greater numbers,
but were not ready yet to take their
place. at the fighting front in large
numbers. They were coming by the
thousands, however, and it upraised
the French spirit, brought recru-
descence of that confidence that
knows no yielding, and the French,

There has been tie of love and
gratitude created there which will be
eternal. Now that our men are writ
ing wonderful history at the front,
can just see those French, in every
walk of life, expressing their ad-
miration, their affection born of the
deepest sense of gratefulness, to the
Americans in countless ways"
Mrs. Kennedy was the second
American woman to be sent to France
for Y. M. C. A. work. And she says
thousands of American women there
now are doing service that will for
ever place the women Of this coun-
try high in the worlds activities.
Particularly she praised the Smith

"Those girls came to France bring

| LONDON, England-W. A. Apple
ton, secretary of the General Fedora
ton of Trade Unions, who lately re-
turned from a tour of the United
States, is quite satisfied about the
contribution America is going to make
to the war.
American criticism of American
effort is no doubt justified in some
degree, but Mr.. Appleton, taking the
longer view, sees America playing as
decisive a part in the closing stages
of the war as France did against the
first onrush of German barbarism
came to place her shield in front of
France. Together, fighting with grim,
patient tenacity, England and France
await Americas coming, and Mr.. Ap-
pleton is convinced they will not be
disappointed.
Mr. Appleton thinks his mission to
America produced very useful results
and its value is perhaps exactly
gauged by the efforts made to
smash it.
"The efforts of extremists here"
he said, "were supplemented by Ell
tremists in America to prejudice the
work of the delegation. If our own
extremists had been successful we
Then in America we had<Paul Kellogg
circularizing the federated trades and
labor councils of the Eastern states
to the effect that our delegation did
not represent British labor, and Lin
coin Concord also writing to Ameri
cans in an effort to discredit US. Then
we had people like the pacifists of Mil
waukee trying to engage all the halls
so that we would not be able to speak.
"All these efforts failed. At Mil
waukee the performance at one of
the principal theaters was stopped
and we addressed an enthusiastic
audience of several thousand people.
Everywhere else we had enthusias
tic audiences who carried with the
most cordial unanimity resolutions
expressing loyalty to their govern
ment and the allied cause"
Struck by Our Unanimity.
Mr.. Appleton was specially struck
by the unanimity of America in this
struggle. With her enormous terri
tory, relatively small and scattered
population and the absence of that
cohesion which is natural in smaller
and more densely populated countries,
like England, with their long history,
he considers it remarkable that there
should now be such burning .convic-
ton uniting all Americans that the
war must be fought to final victory
whatever the cost.
"America's delay in entering the
war is easily understood by all who
understand her peculiar position, cir
| cumstances and traditions" he re-
marked, land the unstinting, ungrudg-
ing and unselfish way in which she is
consecrating all her physical and men
tai resources to the fight for world
freedom has filled me with fresh con-
fdence and inspiration. Her soldiers,
whom I saw in their thousands, are
taking up the sword with grim reso-
luton and, / might say, without any
of that spirit of Dragging which some
people here have expected.

people as a whole, are going to be
closely bound together by their ex
periences in this war. Their suffer
ings and sacrifices for the fundamen-
tails of freedom and democracy are
going to weld them together and en-
able them to overcome any minor
things that separate them. Of that
am certain"
Fights Labor Intriguing.
Mr. Appleton is an individualist in
the British labor movement. He is
identified with no clique and is
strong opponent of the subterranean
intrigues from which the labor move
ment, like other movements, is not
free. He has a passion for realities
which separates him entirely from the
doctrinnaire standpoint of Ramsay
Macdonald and the other members Of
the independent labor party. There
is no more determined fighter for the
workers rights than Mr.. Appleton,
but, at the same time, he is no be-
lever in class warfare.
Mr.. Appleton's realism has made
him thruout a whole-hearted support
er of the war and of any government
which will press on with the war until
Prussian militarism is crushed. On
this point he is completely opposed to
the standpoint of Messrs. Macdonald,
Snowden, Jewett and others, and con-
siders that to minimize the atrocious
crimes Of Germany and to magnify
every minor mistake of the allies is
to cloud the fact that the issue on the
torn fields of France and Flanders is
nothing less than whether liberty is
to perish from the earth or not. His
sons were among the first of the gal
l.
the heels Of the old contemptibles.
tice of paying lip service to the ideals
of the nation in this war and simulta-
neously trying to damp the national
fervor with a cold stream of deprecia-
tion of the country's effort, exagger-
ated criticism of it's mistakes and a
singular conformation of the crimes of
the enemy. In this respect Mr.. APP
pleton is convinced that the workers
of Britain are in complete agreement
with him and are untainted, so far,
by pacificism or defeatism, despite the
subtle propaganda which is continu-
ously aimed at weakening the national
will.
1t is certainly true that when Brti-
ish workers have had the opportunity
of casting their votes for a strong
supporter of the war, or one whose
views, in their opinion, were not suffi-
ciently clear or sound on this sub
ject, the latter has always been heav-
lily defeated. 1t is the object of Mr..
Appleton and those who think like
him to remember that constant Uigi-
lance is the price of liberty" and to
keep their followers in this frame of
mind until kaiserism is overthrown
and the world is made safe for de-
mocracy."

Mr.. Kennedy is going back to
France as an American soldier. Mrs.
Kennedy and Marjory will wait at
home, the mother finding further war
work to do here in Denver. where SO
much is to be done from now on. For
the war is coming closer tn the hearts
of the American people daily.
Boys Say, Don't Worry
"The casualty lists will come now
in ever increasing length" Mrs. Ken
nedy said: "And the American peo-
pie must be prepared. / have to say
to the mothers of the men in France,
and the wives and the sweethearts,
that their boys are being cared for
as no other army IN the world has
ever been. The casualties cannot be
as large in proportion to the number
Of men engaged as they have with
the French and the English. And
want to say to them, too, that the boys
over there do not want those who
wait at home to worry about them,
nor to grieve for them. They count
it-every American soldier saw over
there showed it-a glorious privilege
to fight for the great cause, to be
wounded, to die for it if necessary.
"The American army knows why it
fights, and joys in the conflict for the
right. l saw them by the thousands
and thousands. Mr.. Kennedy went to
the front lines with them-the first
American troops to go to the trenches
in their comfortless boxcars, be-
cause he wanted to get close to them
and learn what their inner spirit was.
He returned each time marveling at
the understanding of the cause Of this
war he found among them, and at
their eagerness to get into the thick
est Of it. In the canteens the only
complaint / ever heard was that
against the inaction, the long train
ing before they could go to the
fighting lines.
"The American army has the will
to win-and it is up to the people at
home to maintain that will by serv-
ing in every way they are asked to
serve, by doing everything the gov
ernment requests without stopping to
reason why or ask questions" !.

AMERICAS WEIGHT IN THIS WAR WILL
SHOCK HUN JUNKERS, SAYS APPLETON
British Labor Official Summing Up Trip This Country Says
World Conflict Is Helping Labor and Capital
to Clearer Understanding
of Other.

"American trade urfionists and
American employers are equally keen
on. the war, and this has generated a
better understanding of and greater
confidence in each other.
Americans of German extraction
are in the overwhelming majority of
cases absolutely loyal, and among no
sections had we more cordial audi
ences. There are criticisms in Amer
lea of her delay in bringing her full
weight to bear after she entered the
struggle, but we ourselves were a long
time in turning completely from peace
to war. When Americas weight is
thoroly felt by the Germans it will
astonish them, for much as America
has already done, her resources either
as to men or other factors of victory
are yet hardly touched. And / am
quite convinced that Americas deter
mination to wipe German autocracy
from the earth will progressively
harden as she becomes involved in the
struggle"
For Industrial Understanding.
Mr.. Appleton thinks the war has
had the same effect in the United
States as in England in tending to
draw together employees and employer,
and give them a recognition of the
great sphere Of their common inter
ests. In America it has produced a
national unity which is one of the out
standing facts of the war He con-
siders that the British workman is as
sound as his American brother on the
war.
"The British workman realizes that
the only peace that can be had at
present is a German peace, and he
will not stand for it or for anybody
who wants to negotiate such a peace.
They feel, like my own sons at the
front, that, tired of the war tho they
may be, they would rather go on with
the struggle for another ten years
than stop now. For to stop now would
mean, at the best, either a renewal of
the struggle in few years. time on
an incomparably vaster scale, with all
the additional horrors which in the
meantime the ingenuity of inventors
would have devised, or tame sub
mission to the overlordship of the
Prussian military despotism and the
disappearance of freedom from the
world"
81 am certain" Mr. Appleton added,
that pacifism has no hold of the Brit
ish worker. There are so-called in
tellectuals claiming to be labor lead
ers who are never finished with derog-
atory criticisms of their own coun-
tries and the allies. They build airy
structures of rhetorical formulate
which look very impressive if you don't
examine them too closely and if you
can forget, as Clemenceau says, that
the Germans are at Noyon.' Whether
they like it or not, they are playing
the German game and as they are
deeply concerned with their own po-
litical careers they manage to figure
prominently in the public eye. But
they do not represent the British
worker, as the latter has shown every
time his opinion on the matter has
been fairly tested.
"The American worker and the Brit
ish worker, and" Mr.. Appleton con-
cluded, "the American and British
