HIGH TRIBUTE PAID ..
T0LABOR IN j. S.
Dinner Given Members of DEL
egation at the House OF
Commons.
RECEIVED BY THE PREMIER


By the Associated Press.
LONDON. May Thames Wilson,
cha irman of the American labor dele
cation. at a dinner at the house OF
commons last night, given to the dele
gates by the General Federation OF
Trades Unions, reiterated the determl-
nation of American labor to support
the President. Congress and the allied
peoples until freedom was won not only
for the allies. but for the people OF
Germany themselves. He said the fight
should go on until The world was rid
Of militarism for all time.
At the beginning Of the war, Mr..
Wilson said. the labor movement in
America had invited the labor move
ments of the world to conference to
consider eventual terms of peace. The
reply of the German labor leaders was
a refusal to participate.

AT OUR DOCKS

Eighteen big steamships of 5000
to 5000 tons each were unloading
American army goods at the rate of
10000 tons a day along the three
miles of American docks not long ago
The spectacle was a stirring scenes
of activity Crowds of enlisted men
assisted at the matches and manipula-
ted the giant cranes as big steel mo-
tor trucks were lifted out bodily,
along with parts of locomotives and
railway cars, and all the miscellane-
Gus freight of an army, while an army
of negro stevedores kept the steady
stream of goods moving back to the
nearby warehouses and trains.
Taking care of this avalanche of
army goods coming from America,
is quite as much of problem as tax
ing care of the arriving troops. Here
one obtains an idea of the mammoth
proportions of the equipment which
the Americans have been compelled
to set up for this branch of the ex-
petition.
Coming northern port, a success
sion of big American establishments
was seen at every port along the
western coast. At one port were IA

American docks each with a thousand
feet of frontage.
These As docks at the five main
ports represent a dock frontage of

TURKS GET "NERvEs"

Silent death in the blackness of
night, the fate of unnumbered Turk
ish sentries surprised at their posts
by patrol of Indian troops with the
British army, has imposed upon the
Ottoman soldiers a wholesome re-
spect for these dark-skinned fighters
who have replaced many white con-
tingents sent to other fronts.
The cleverness of the Gurkhas at
stalking has had terrifying effect up
on the minds of the Turks, who are
constantly finding their men dead at
advance stations with nothing to
betray the coming and going of the
foe. The result has been a case of
nerves" among the enemy, prompt
ing constant alarms
Curkhas and Sikle, eager for active
fighting, are continually suggesting
raids and sectional attacks, uncon-
sciously answering the exultant pre-
dictions of enemy publicity organs
that their substitution for whites
would open the way for an early
Turkish offensive which would sweep
the British forces from the country.
In action the Indian troops are keen
as in anticipating of it Their ap-
proach, even after the warning of a
barrage, inevitably is so swift as to
take the Turks completely off their
guards. Recently in broad daylight
Gurkhas reached unobserved point
within close range of the enemy
trench. They rushed it and without
firing a shot, killed fifteen Turks
and broubht back as many prisoners.
Only one of the attackers was
wounded.
A subalter in charge Of party of
the Indians had an extraordinary eX-
perience in this raid. He had struck
his bayonet into Turk, but was un-
able to disengage it, owing to the
narrowness of the trench. Another
Turk nearby began jabbing the butt
end of a rifle into the officers ribs.
Suddenly the Englishman saw his
assailant's head leap from his should

ing numbers of these weapons on the
side of the allies will eventually
make it easy to send. the Huns TO
their doom. They know that only
time can save them,-if they must
keep on fighting. An armistic under
any conditions will be a tremendous
advantage to Germany.

is so near that when the German
high command knows there will be
no let up,-really understands that
the whole front is to remain a blaze
with the fires of death and that there
can be no relief with anything less
than unconditional surrender, that
will be forth coming. Germany only
needs to be told that there will be no
other terms. That only needs to be
emphasized with the type of war
that has been aimed at them for the
past two months. That program will
bring and end Of it quickly, before
the Christmas holidays.
AS to the notes coming from Ger
many, these are not sincere. If they
are, how is the rest of mankind to
know? Germany started the greatest
war the world has ever seen, her first
move being fragrant violation of
agreements with other nations of the
earth. What changes have transpired
since the stat that may be termed
guarantees against a repetition once
another advantage is gained?
BY her own conduct Germany has
put herself where nothing less than
unconditional surrender will fit the
occasion Anything less will be unsafe
for those who are bringing her back
to her place by force Of arms. We
have paid a frightful price for the adj
vantage we now hold and it would be
the mistake of the war to ever let it
slip.
President Wilson knows all this.
He is not going to offer very serious
consideration to cheap word fest
carefully and artfully shaped over
night and then coated with sugar and
made easy to take The war is being
waged in its last stages, but it must
not end till Germany is beaten

ment is only the thickness of the

army Of several millions men. The
basis OF caluIation of this huge work
is so pound per men-this being an
average covering the whole range OF

eral, food, clothing, ammunition, guns
and all other army requirements.
On this established basis Of so
pounds per day per man, an army of
million men requires 50,O0O00O

But as the American army in Europe
has long exceeded the million marks
the scale Of preparation must be far
in excess Of this $4,000 tons a day,
reaching not far from the gigantic
total of 100000 tons daily, to be un-
| loaded from ships, stored in ware

this colossal daily requirement which

Seven miles back from the water

in this military influx, and the 147th

railway system connects the water
