The fate of England. indeed, OF the

Every one has realized this to the depth
Of his mind. The anxiety in the rural
districts has been even keener than in
the cities. where the frequent news
paper bulletins have furnished the pub

The most impressive effect of the
crisis has been the sweeping aside Ut
All political factional disputes. To-day
there is only the united nation. whose
hearts are with the soldiers in France
Before, the progress Of the war had
come to the level where discussion OF
policies and personality were consum-

tention Of politicians. To-day the
pa cifist journals have fallen into line
with the others. They have dropped
their criticisms of the management of
the war and ceased TO talk OF peace by
negotiation.

MIR. WILSON WIRES GOVERNOR
His Action Has Few Precelcnts in
American Judicial Hlstory-Labor
Commission Favors New Trial in
Report.
tBy Associated Pres.


WASHINGTON. March oo.-The only
comment of White House officials to-
day on President Wilson's telegram to
Governor Stephens asking him to cx-
tend executive clcmency In the Mooney
case. was that they would neither af-
firm nor deny such telegram has been
sent. Further than that they abso-
lutely refused to discuss it,
The Presidents action. which has
few presidents IN American judicial
history, comes as the climax of much
effort by the agencies OF the Federal
government 10 have the conviction OF
Mooney reversed and 10 get for him
Il new trial.
When President Wilson sent his
labor mediation commission West sew
eral months ago to look into numerous
labor disturbances which were threat
ening the governments war produc-
ton program, Il was especially charged
10 look into the Mooney case and make
report. The commission reported
conclusions that the Mooney case had
become SO involved with the issues Of
the bitter contest between capital and
la Dor in San Francisco that he should
have new trial.
About the same time the Dolshevik
disturbances reached their height I'm
Russia and all the influence of the
United States was being eXerted to pre-
serve the ne" democracy. Russian agi-
tatoTs OF the Lenine and Trotzky type,
opposing the efforts of the United
States. were using the Mooney case as
ohe of their chief arguments TO make
the Russian people believe that the
pieadinss OF the United States for the
| cause of democracy were insincerc.
that the Mooney case was an example
Of autocratic government in this coun
try, and the commission reported TO the
President that the effects OF the case
had become worldwide among the
| workers.
II Is wcll known that practically all
Tie prominent labor leaders have been
asking thr President TO intervene for
the relief vf Mooney, and many of the
administrations advisers have been IA :
vor!ne SEA a step.
After receiving the report OF the
commission. President Wilson wrote
The hghesi court Of California re-
Gently refused 1t.
AS the who.a matter was one of ju-
dicial process within the State OF Cal.
ifornia and over which the Federal
government had no control. only one
course remained. and that was TO ap.

America's efforts since entering tho
war nearly year ago. and continues
with this record many Americans
are by no means satisfied. 1t hurts
them to think that In this battlc O..

exaggerated. But undoubtedly the Ger

out its use If its spurs America to con-
centrate on the problems of raising and

OF trained soldiers That is the main
assistance America can render us az
