by some friends recently about the

SAYS THE PRESIDENT

William Knowles Cooper Recog-
nizes influence of Chief Execu-
tive on Men Around Him.

That the people of the country can
rest assured that the government is

questioned honesty and devotion was
the statement of william Knowles
Cooper, general secretary Y. M. c.. A.,
Washington, D. c., in his address Fri
day to the ~" men of Meade.
II am willing to stake my life on
the integrity of the men who advise
the President" said Mr.. Cooper ,
He declared that even Congress had
made up its mind to do whatever the
President wanted. and he expressed
the thought that this would be the
best way to win the war Men like
Daniels, who had been most unpopu-
lar at first, had grown by association
with the President until they had at
tanned eminence.
The Secretary of the Navy was to-
day the most beloved and respected
man in Washington and one that the
people, were willing to follow. His
accomplishments were many and
creditable, especially his safe convoy
ing of the hundreds of thousands Of
soldiers that have gone to France.
II was impressed" he added, with
the deep spiritual insight Of President
Wilson. Nobody can fail to note his
interest in everything pertaining to
religious devotions. Yet, IL the SER
mon is a poor one, he, like everybody
else, turns to read the hymnal."
Congress was composed of patriotic
men, but the control lay with mem

Mr.. Cooper called attention to the
welcome which the "Y" in Washing
ton was extending the men of Meade.
1t was a great military center, he
said, with $1,000 men at Camp Humph-
reys and $4,000 in prospect at GUAM
tico besides more at Howard Uni
versity. The city was dry and public
prostitution abolished, so the soldier
could visit there with little danger of
debasement.

French People Kind.

1t was pointed out by the writer
that the Americans would be given a
cordial welcome by the French and
that the women of France would be
especially sympathetic and kind to
the wounded and sick.
In many respects, the letter was a
masterpiece. 1t showed the nobility
of the French character, deep inter-
est in the welfare of his cousin and
his aspirations to rise to a higher
position in the army and the hope
that he himself might attain some
position of more Importance than he
then held. But he said promotions
came in a democracy when worth
had proved itself. Opportunity was
the one thing needed to promote the
advancement of worthy soldier

Thus wrote Fernand Segal of the

to a letter of Andrews. in which the
latter complimented the French on
their wonderful stand at Verdun. the
Marine and in Flanders

The French warrior wrote of the
determination of his comrades to hold
the Germans until proper reinforce
ments arrived from America for

said, that is inevitable, but they
shall not pass. That much every
Frenchman has resolved to do IL he
has to lay down his life"
Although the letter was written In
the highest tone, 1t was not without
passages which showed the feeling Of
the writer and his compatriots to-
ward the giant Colossus who is try
ing to "bestride>the world"
Fernand declared that pan-German-
ism, kaiserism and the like had re-
suited in a militaristic France, that
horrors had been brought into the
world and that nothing would be left
~0ndone to blot out forever the last
vestige of such things.

pite Of many handieaps under which mines and
snelters have operated Figures for August
show a total production of about 161 900, 900
pounds, or nearly 100000 pounds more than
the output of August, 1917. Production during
the first eight months of 1918 nearly equalel
total output of mines of this country in 1917.
The average for the remaining months of 1918
can fall far below the total for August and still

that grows with what it feeds on, is always
dreaded by conservative financerS It must

But for this drastic action of the banks, all

sky-high in Wall Street, and all over the coun-

these stock from rising too rapidly for the goHd
