Call Big Labor Conference
Pan-American Meeting To Be
Held Here November 20

The Central Federated Union adopted
resolutions calling a general Pan
American conference Of organized labor
in this city on November 80 for the
purpose of helping to cement coopera-
tion between the Latn-American re-
publics and the United States.
The meeting will take place in
Cooper Union, and invitations have
been sent to the labor representatives
of South and Central American coun-
tries: Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor. has
been asked to speak at the important
gathering, which will take place soon
after Gompers has completed his work

ference in Laredo, Texas, on Novem-

tance of the city of Paris. Never were
the liberties of the world in such peril
as at that time. But as soon as we
transformed those Liberty bonds into
aghting Americans on the front and
INTO munitions and supplies those fight
ing men needed, We began to make
cents IN the German circle, and now
we are pushing it eastward toward
neriln, instead of the Germans pushing
~ eastward toward Paris. I said in
the Third Liberty Loan campaign that
VIC would push that circle eastward as
soon as America could get her strength
upon the battlefront until its peri
metre included Berlin. eW are doing
1t. Americas soldiers have answered
the Kaiser. With American bayonets
they have already written upon the
SOIL OF Germany this notice to the
Kaiser: The jig's up If our home
army fails to put the fourth Liberty
Loan over it will be notice to the
Kaiser that the jig is not up.
All America recognizes the patriotic
duty of supporting our soldiers in the
field and of helping them fight until a
conclusive victory is won: but patriot
ism is Of little value if it is possessed
only with the lips and is not backed up
by actual deeds. We must do the neces-
sary things at home just as our SOL
diers must do the necessary things or
the battlefield"
Appeals to Governors
CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Mr. McAdoo
telegraphed the following appeal to the
Governor of every state in the Union
tonight:
"One week of the Fourth Liberty
Loan campaign remains. and three
and half billion dollars have yet
to be raised. The American people
can provide this money if they are
fully aroused to the imperative ne
cessity of doing so. Without the
Fourth Liberty Loan the great vic
tories of our soldlers in france will
be negatived. The home army must
not turn the victories of the field
army into defeats. The home army
must not render valueless the bloody
sacrifices of our heroes. The home
army must, on the other hand, trans
form the victories of the field army
into the final and mighty blow which
will forever destroy military des-
potism and its menace to the liber-
ties of the world.
"Will you not issue proclama-
tion1 to the people of your state ap-
peallng to them to subscribe imme-
dately to the limit of their ability
to the Fourth Liberty Loan? Ask
the rich and poor alike to buy Lib
erty bonds on the installment plan
where they cannot pay cash for them
and urge the banks and bankers Of
your state to carry purchasers of
bonds on the instalment plan at the
same rate of interest that the bonds
bear. namely, Az per cent.
"The banks must help the people
by lending them money to buy Lib
erty bonds and the people must help
the banks by subscribing for them
and paying for them as promptly as
possible. We must all help each
other if our army is to make certain
that the great victory now in sight is
clinched."

and the attendance was 978,O45.

Books circulated by the "Y" to
soldiers numbered 764,710, educa-
tional clubs formed among the men
were 649 and the attendance at these
club meetings attained numerical
figure of 25,179.
Physical activities conducted by
| the Y. M. G. A. in the Southeastern
camps during the year vaulted to an
amazing figure. 1t is estimated
3,683,350 participated in the various
physical activities, such as baseball,
/ track and field meets, volloy ball,
etc. The spectators, the majority of
| them soldiers, at these "Y" physical
activities are estimated at 5,646,318.
These figures are significant for they
tell not only of the great number of
men the "Y'' interested in healthful
athletics but also show how millions
who looked on were amused and had
their minds taken off harmful in
fuences not tending to upbuild the
morale of the army.
Perhaps one of the major aims of
the "Y" in the Army and Navy has
been to show the soldier boy that he
should not forget to nurture his
spiritual needs. Not only does the
yearly report prove that the "Y"
has not neglected to look after the
religious side of the mems lives, but
conclusively shows that religious in
fiuences have been exerted with
telling effect that might not have
been achieved in civilian life.
The resume of religious activities
shows that 3,464,451 persons at
tended 16,46S religious meetings I'M
der "Y" auspices in the South east,
that 21,288 Bible classes were form
ed among the soldiers with attend
ances ranging at 395,348, that
223,232 scriptures were distributed,
that "Y' workers had 1888 per-
sonal Christian interviews with SOL
diers, that the boys made 43,093
Christian decisions and that 1858
signed the Religious War Roll.
The attendance at the "Y" social
activities in the huts was phe-
nomenal, 3,713,6O9 attending $3.50
entertainments. The attendance at
"Y" movie shows in the huts was
even larger, the attendance being
estimated at 4,678,53O for 1922 per-
formances.
With the Army and Navy con-
tinually growing in~size, indications
are now that the next fiscal year will
perhaps nearly double these really
colossal activities.

They show just what the Y. M.

of the Southeast. These figures have
been prepared by the statistical de-
partment and have boen submitted
to S. A. Ackley General Secretary of

In a compilation of general ac-
tivities at the camps under Y. M. C.
A. direction, it is estimated that the
attendance in the "Y'' huts for the
year reached 3S,866,980 men. That
the huts were generally filled with
soldier boys is proven in this esti-
mate figure for the buildings altho
generally large ere not extremely so.
1t is also stated that 32,SS9,002
letters were written by soldiers in
the Y. NJ G. A. huts and in almost
every case upon the "Y'' stationery
furnished free to the mon.
The report collected from all the
camps in the Southeast further shows
that "Y' workers in the huts here
wrote out s2,463,744 worth of mon

This means that the splendid mon

The Germans are employing fresh

the ground inch by inch, intent on
saving the bulk of the armies OF
| Gems. Won der Marwitz and Won
Hutier, which are rctrccting in the
direction of Nesle and Ham, but the

important town of Bray-sur-Somme,
while the French have captured
Curry, a position of great strategic
value lying southwest of Lassigny.
The capture of the whole massif of
Lassigny by the Allies is expected at
any moment.
