quainted with each other.
When you think Of this you real
ize how the people Of the United

An Unselfish Cause.

The helpless and the friendless are
the very ones that need friends and
succor, and il any man in Germany
thinks we are going to sacrifice any
body for our own sake tell them now

first time in history. an unseltsh war.

to fight for mankind II they wish
peace let them come forward through
accredited representatives and lay
their terms on the table. We have
laid ours and they know what they
are.
But behind all this grim purpose,
my friends, lies the opportunity to
demonstrate not only force which will
be demonstrated to tho utmost, but
the opportunity to demonstrate char.
acter. and it is that opportunity that
we have most conspicuously IN the
work OF the Red Cross. Not that our
men in arms do not represent our
character, for they do, and it is a char
acter which those who see and realize
appreciate and admire; but their duty
is the duty Of force. The duty of the
Red Cross is the duty Of mercy and
succOr and friendship.
Have you formed a picture In your
Imagination Of what this war is doing

mind | am convinced that not a hun.
dred years Of peace could have knitted
this nation together as this single year
Of war has knitted it together; and
better even than that if possible, il
is knitting the world together.

workmen during the day, was prac-
tically deserted after the strike was
well under way, but the 200 men on
the important government order re-
mained.
SO important was the work on
which these men were engaged that
its nature could not even be made
public The realization of the Ma
tons need and the possibility that
these 200 men could do much to
shorten the war and bring it to a
victorious conclusion were the mo-
tives that led the men to stick. The
strikers accepted the situation in a
patriotic spirit, and although for
some days a heavy loss of labor
power resulted from the strike the
most vital work under way at the
plant ,at least, went on.

"The defendant was unable to
give the court at that time any posi-

to comply with the adjustment ap-
proved by Judge Kerr. | am now

London, Oct. 3.--Germany, if re-
ports from neutral centre can be
relied upon is going to make a great
effort to maintain communication
over the Orient Railway with Tur-
key, and thus hopes tokeep her cas-
tern ally in the war.
According toa Hague dispatch to
the Central News, 100000 German
and Hungarian troops have
arrived at Sofia from Rumania, and
while part Of these will remain in
Sofia as an argument favoring the
overthrow OF the Mainoff Govern
ment, the majority will endeavovr
to keep the allied troops from the
Orient Railway which joins Germa
ny and Austria with Constantinople,
the capture of which was, few
years ago, hailed as the greatest
achievement of the Central Powers.
The emoval of troops from Ruma-
MIA, however, is not without danger.
A few weeks ago when appealed to
by his colleagues on the western
front for assistance, FIELD arshal
Won MMackenson reported that con-
ditions in Rumania did not warrant
The transfer OF single soldier to

vides for the revictualling of the
Central Powers.

picion of the Crown Council held
Sunday, ostensibly for a discussion
of the Crown Princes marriage but
at which other matters might have
been discussed. The presence at
