DUCKWORTH ARRAIGNS
CRITICS OF PRESIDENT

Speaking at the Plum Street Church
of Christ Sunday night on the subject
of Deception" r. F. Duckworth, the
well-known Farmers union leader. paid
his respects in no uncertain terms to
the members of congress who are OBJ
structing the administration in the
prosecution of the war
1.-The members of congress who are
trying to block the war program of the
administration do not seem TO me to be
sincere" said Mr.. Duckworth.
War is the direct result of the deceit
and corruption of men, hence I am op-
posed to war. 1t cannot be justified by
the doctrine of Christ. the kaiser to the
contrary Notwithstanding. But that has
nothing to do with the position taken
by unprincipled and yellow-streaked
members of congress who are trying 20
deceive their people at home by playing
a deceptive game of rotten politics, or
worse. pretending to be patriotic while
they help Germany by hindering the
president.
"A member of congress can do but
one of two things-help or resign. Any
other course is deception, or lack of pa
triotism."

President Takes Hand
In Situation Sunday

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18,-Shipping
board officials were confident today
that President Wilson's intervention
in the strike of carpenters in eastern
ship yards had had its desired effect
and the men would go back to work
pending settlement of their grievances
by the wage adjustment board.

uation last night and issued a sharp
rebuke to William L. Hutcheson, presi-
dent of the United Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners, who had refused
to send the strikers back to work and
requested a personal conference to lay
the matter before the president. The
president in his telegram to Hutchinson

wish to give aid and comfort to the
enemy he would direct the men to re-
turn to their jobs pending settlement.
The president declined to see Hutche-
son until he had done So

from President Hutchinson, and local
union officials in affected districts
were notified last night to ask the men

LONDON, FEB. ia deep, serious
SchlSm has been created between Ger
many and Austria Hungary by the tef-
mlnation of the armistice between the
central powers and Russia and the re-
newal of state of war, according to
the Copenhagen correspondent of the Ex-
change Telegraph company.
The Austrian press, continues the cor
respondent, is warning Germany against
the reopening of hoStilities in which
Austria does not wish to participate The
semiofhciaI Fremdenblatt is silent, but
the Neue Freie. Presse is quoted as
pointing out that the Austrian monarchy
no longer borders upon Russia and -
not, like Germany, compelled to resume
warfare. The only thing Austria might
do against it's will, says the newspaper
Is tn protect the free connection between
the monarchy and the Ukraine.
Inc Zeit, which has intimate connec-
tons with the Austro-Hungarian for
eign office. is reported by the correspon-
dent as contending that Count Czernin,
the foreign minister, can continue to act
as negotiator with the west For our
monarchy" it says, the war is in the
main finished. and for one of our au-
tagonists it has virtually not begun.
Millions of thinking people now point to
Count Czernin and President Wilson"
The article concludes with sentence
which the correspondent interprets as
being plainly addressed to Germany,
reading:
From our side the prA-disposition to
positive negotiation has never been in
terrupted, and it is to be hoped that the
Eegci iatIons will not be interrupted from
the other side"
The Austrian press is protesting
against a re-opening of hostilities in
! which Austria has no desire to partici-
pate, the correspondent says.
The newspaper, Die Ziet, hopes The
Czernin-Wilson rapprochement contin-
ues. and that Germany won't interfere
with it,
