MOntenegrO's Hope
Is President Wilson

Paris, Nov. S-Montenegro looks to
President Wilson to obtain for it a
safe and Independent future, the exil-
ed King Nicholas told The Associated
Press yesterday in discussing the fu-
ture of his country, now that it is be-
ing cleared of the enemy. The king
said that he hoped Montenegro would
become a part of the new state of
Jugo-Slavia.
King Nicholas, who fled from his
country when it was invaded and
overrun by the Austrians in the winter
of 1856, said that he intended to
return to his little kingdom as soon as
1t could be arranged. He appeared
greatly distressed by reports regarding
the correspondent proclamation
negro.
The king showed the correspondent
a telegram of appreciation and thanks
from President Wilson in answer to
one that the king had sent to the
President. After saying that his peo-
pie put their trust in President Will
son to secure for them a safe and in
dependent future, he was asked what
form the POLITICAL future of Monte
negro would take. The king handed
thee correspondent proclamation
which he had just issued to the Mon
tenegro people reading in part:
Brothers: With the liveliest and
most joyous enthusiasm, sure of the
appreciation of my faithful people, I
solennly declare that my dear Monte
negro should become a constituent
part of Jugoslavia, and enter in the
Jugoslav community frankly and hon
estly, as it has struggled and suffered
for it. I desire that we unite our
selves as brothers in confederated
Sugoslavia in which each (State?)
will retain its rights, institutions, re-
ligion, and customs, and in which no
one will dare pretend to supremacy,
but where all will be equal"
Besides defining the political future,
the proclamation pays the following
tribute to President Wilson:

HOW FOCH SAVED CALAIS
AND BALKED, THE HUN.

Baked at the Marine, the German
war lords turned their attention to
the channel ports on the French coast.
Calais lay directly across the Channel
from England. If they could cap
ture Calais, England would have to
send troops in ships down the other
side of the French coast. The u
boats would have a better chance to
sink transports and drown men
like rats.
Foch was shifted to the threatened
zone, says William Heyliger in the
current issue of Boys Life. It was
a race to see who would get to the
coast first, the Germans or the
French. At Ypres, Foch found him
self in advance Of the, German flood.
With the same fearlessness that had
distinguished him on the Marine, he

threw out his forces and attacked. 1t
was on the eve of this battle that he
asked the army chaplain to pray
saying that he had put all his trust
in God. And on the tmorrow the
German flood broke and Calais was
saved.
At Dixmude, In the early days Of
the war, after the Germans had been
reinforced and it seemed that the
French must retreat to the Somme
river, it was Foch who ordered his
soldiers to open the sluices of that
low country after his own men had
taken high ground. The land was
flooded and the German cannon was
begged. That stroke of the French
general spread CONSERVATION in the
Hun ranks for the time and the
flooded landscape presented an i'm
passable barrier. The water that
Foch and his men had Ioosed crippled
the German hope of a smashing vic
tory,

DEFERRED CLASS HARD
BLOW TO BALL PLAYERS

1t was a hard blow for the profess
sional ball players in the deferred
draft classes, who have beA working
in shipyards, to learn that all sports
would be abandoned by the Emergen-
cy Fleet Corporation. It was the
opinion Of the higher officials of the
corporation that the workers were de-
voting too much time to athletic
events besides which there was a GER
tain resentment against the kind of
protest. onaIism which was thriving
in the yards on high salaries. 1t is
not the intention of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation to eliminate sports,
but next year the athletes will have to
do their full share of manual labor,
In other words ball players who de-
serted their clubs last summer to ac-
cept high salaried jobs in the ship
yares got just exactly what was COM
ing to them.

These state quotas will in turn be
distributed among localities. Within
each locality, employers in non-war

partially in war work, will be asked
to distribute the local quotas from

Quotas by localities and individuals

Oppose Shifting Of Labor.


The object is to keep any COM
munity from being drained of labor,
and to use local supply. as far as pos
sible, for local demand. The situation,
however, is such that in certain cases
some men may have to be transported
over long distances.
You will note from the above out.
line that this is probably the most
drastic action that the government
has taken since putting the National
Army draft into effect. The absolute
necessity for this program can be seen
when it is realized that in Pittsburgh,
for instance, there are advertisements
calling for men to go to Detroit; while
in Detroit street cars there are post
ers asking men to go to Pittsburgh.
This same condition is apparent all
over the United States and in the con
sequent shifting of labor a great part
of our war effort is dissipated.
Because it is only through the press
of the nation that this matter can be
fully presented to the people, we are
asking that you lay this matter fully
and frankly before your readers
showing them that this action is TAX
en- az a war measure in order to pro
F.! tect not only employers and the EN-.
ployed, but communities as well.

We beg to direct your attention to

The above action was found neces-
sary to overcome a perilous shorta &c
Of unskilled labor in war industries.
This shortage was aggravated by an
almost universal practice of labor
stealing and poaching.
To Include Skilled Labor.
While tho rocfriotiopo AGAINST 10

only to common labor at the present
time, these restrictions will, as SON
as possible, be extended to include
skilled labor. In the meantime, re-
cruiting of skilled labor for war pro-
duction will be subject to federal regu-
lations now being prepared.
This drastic change in the nation s

cut down unnecessary and expensive
