Troops Will Be Brought
Home Ra1idIY. Saws Daniels

New York, Nov. H.-American
soldiers in France will be brought
home as fast as conditions in Eu-
rope permit, Secretary Daniels said
last night, in addressing a meeting
of the United War Work campaign
in Carnegie hall, If internal
troubles in Germany do not prevent
the return of the troops, the secre-
tary said, their return will be linz
tied only by the number of ships
available for the work.
Mr.. Daniels, however, warned his
audience that at the earliest it will
be some months before the soldiers
would reach American shores. He
pointed to the fact that working
with all haste possible, it took 18
months to transport the men to
France.

URGES UNITY IN
ELECTION PLEA
British Premier Outlines His
Policy on the Principal Is.
sues of Day in Open
ing Campaign.

London, Nov. l7.-(British Wire
less Service)- Premier Lloyd
George, Chancellor of the En-
chequer Bonar Law and George M.
Barnes, member of the war cabinet,
the leaders of the coalition govern
ment. opened the general electio..
campaign by addressing large and
enthusiastic meeting in Central hall,
Westminster.
Mr.. Lloyd George said the new
parliament would be the most i'm
portant ever elected in the history
of the country.
THE opposition" the premier
continued, was organized for
fault-fnding and made for delay.
For organized labor to withdraw
from the coalition at the present
moment, he declared was the
height of folly.
For the next four years and a
half, the premier said he wanter
to see all parties united with the
best traditions of all.
Outlines Policy.
Lloyd George has sent letter to
Chancellor of the Exchequer Bonar
Law, leader of the unionist party,
outlining his policy regarding the
principal issues of the day.
Mr.. Lloyd George considers it
should be coalition election. the
constituents being invited to return
candidates who will undertake to
support the present government,
not only to prosecute the war to a
final end and to negotiate peace, but,
to deal with problems of reconstruc-
ton.
Dealing with imperial preference
the premier says:
Il have already accepted the policy
of imperial preference as defined in
resolutions of the imperial confer
ence to the effect that preference
will be given on existing duties and
on any duties which may sebse-
quently be imposed
"One of the great objects which
must be aimed at in the future is to
maintain an improved agricultural
position and for this purpose a
great deal can be done in many d.
rections, for instance, an improve
ment, indeed a complete change, of
the transport situation,
In order to keep up the present
standard OF production and develop
it to the utmost extent possible it is
necessary that security should be
given against unfair competition
to which our industry has in the past
been subjected by the selling OF
goods below the actual cost of pro-
duction."
Opposes Coercion of Ulster.
Dealing with the home rule ques-

to bring home rule into immediate
effect, while excluding the six north

atoms, but setting up at the same
time a joint council which would
be empowered to extend legislation
of an Irish parliament to Ulster, or
to set up a convention of represen-
tative Irishmen to endeavor to find
a settlement for themselves. D.,
The second alternative was
adopted, but unfortunately after
nearly a year of earnest delibera-
tons the convention found them
selves unable to arrive at anything
like an agreement.

GUS cause. Heretofore in raising the
necessary funds for their work these
agencies have conducted separate
campaign with the result OF much
duplication of effort and well-nigh
continuous appeals to the public. At
a recent conference of representatives
of each of the seven endeavors, it
was wisely decided that henceforth
they would put their individual in
terests in the background and sub
bordinate every thought to the COM
mon ideal to be served, the common
work to be done.
We now have accordingly what is
known as the United War Work Cam
paign, in which the public is asked
to contribute, not merly to this, that
or the other organization, but to the
humane and patriotic cause for which
they are are all unitedly laboring The
consequent gain in efficiency of met
hod is obvious; every dollar sub
scribed under the new plan will re-
present a more literally effective
beneficence. But there is another
and more significant gain, namely,
the widened vision and the deepened
sympathy that will come to the peo-
pie from service together rather than
along separate paths in the work
which these several philanthropic and
religious agencies are doing for the
boys with the colors.
May we not believe that the les
sons thus to be learned and the COM
rade-ships thus fromed amongst
Americans of all faiths and creeds,
new power, gloriously human and
creative, will be breathed into the

There will be great demand for
the labor that the boys and girls can
do this year and consequently there
will be less inclination to attend the
schools. No boy can afford to pass
his training time for passing attrac-
tive lure. There is nothing half so
valuable to the girl as her thorough
preparation in life. Both need the
schooling. To leave school for the
work that is now offered is to cut
every possibility of reaching success
through efficiency. Much of the
high climbing is done by educated
men and women. Please do not let
some one tell you that it is other
wise And please do not permit some
one to make you believe you cannot
get your college education. Keep on
plugging in school and there will be

deserve it. Get your schooling

Tulsa R0tarians Adopt
D. French Orphans; Costs
But FelU Dollars Month

The love OF children seems to
he an outstanding characteristic
Of the American people. Espe-
clally in Tulsa is this true. As a
matter OF fact. over 100 men in
Tulsa, mostly members Of the Ro-
tary club, have adopted French
ofphans through the organization
Tor that purpose. Since 1t costs
only SS "A month 10 support one
or these children. the men believe
they are doing a good work for
humanity In contributing the small
sums they are called on for.
IT has been suggested that those
Iulsans who have sons or friends
with the American army in
France, have them TO look up one
or more OF these orphan children
and take care Of them. In other
words, II is suggested that the men
could act great deal in the capa-
city Of guardian. Many Tulsa peo-
pie who have adopted French or
phans intend. II they can, at the
end of the war, TO bring them to
the United States and educate them
as Americans. Tulsa now has 200
men in France and this proposition
Is already appealing to the po6lic
fancy.
