London, Oct. 11.-Indications that

of State Lansing said in an address
here. He was speaking at the cele-

seminary.
While stern justice must be tenn.
pered with mercy, Mr.. Lansing said,
when the time comes to balance the

Justice Must Discriminate.
He urged, however, that the Amer

ignorant and the intelligent, between
the responsible and the irresponsible,
between the master and the serf.
"The principles on which a general
peace will be made between the war
ring nations" said Mr.. Lansing,

Wilson. These principles of justice
must guide those charged with the ne

and must find expression in that mo-

 WURK PROGRESSES

The gang of men under foreman Sid Sheldon made a commencement yesterday morning with the work of driving double row of piline along the Nenana waterfront to pre- vent bank erosion, and the work is progressing steadily.
 The first pile was driven near the launch landing at the foot of A street, and the work will be con- tinued on upstream to a point near Lehr's sawmill.
 As soon as the work is sufficiently we'll along and when teams become available, it is expected that the necessary saplings to form the cush- ion buttress against the pressure from the ice at the breakup, will be hauled and placed in position, after which earth or gravel will be placed on top and the ground then leveled off.

 The gallant bearing and conduct of the American troo,ps at all times under fire and in the most distress ing circumstances, he said, had in spired the war-worn Allied troops with renewed vigor and imbued them with a desire to emulate the Ameri- cans and carry on to victory, with the result that the Allies have been enabled to triumph over their com mon foe. #:-
 In concluding, Marshal Foch said that the Americans have earned the right to have the name of Melse proudly emblazoned on their war banners.
