Peace REFUSAL

flclals CLEANED no satisfaction from
Hertllng.
NJ. Andre Tardieu, French high COM
missioner. saw no peace in Hertling's
speech. It's refusal to talk about the
cession Of Alsace-Lorraine, eighty
seven per cent OF whose population
speaks German" brought from him an
array OF figures to show that much of
this percentage is derived from Ger
man o1lcialdom planted in the lost
provinces. He quoted the Germans
themselves TO show that they had look
ed on Alsace-L LOrraine as enemy terri
tory and added:
Germany cannot help Interpreting
the principle of nationaltes as an ex-
preston of the only right which she
acknowledges and advocates-the right
Of might. BY France, on the contrary,
the principle Of nationalltes has al
ways been acknowledged and used as
the very guarantee Of the right and OF
the safety Of the smaller and weaker
peoples.
Count Won Hertllng states the Asa
tians and Lorrainians must be German
because their speech is a German dia-
lect. We answer: The Alsatians and
Lorranians are French, because, hay
ing been French for centuries, they
want to become French again
Russian diplomats saw in the Hert-
ling answer only the influence Of the
annexationist iunkers.
Russia" they said, "can make a
separate peace without materially in
! iurlng the Allies any more than she
/ has already done, but she cannot af-
| ford TO have the Allies make a peace
without considering her interests
They pointed out that Germany treat
| ed the Russians brusquely while the
United states was sympathetic.
Neutral diplomats, hopeful Of peace

countries, were pesslmistic over the
outlook.

The international Association of

been playing such an important part in
proving the loyalty Of labor through
The crisis which this country rs now
facing. has been in communication with
the local machinisis' situation where a
strike has been in progress in mum
Der Of the Wilmington plants since Au-
gust, 1915. This strike was called for
an eight-hour day only, the question Of
wages and a closed or an open shop not
bein involved
Following advice received from Wash
ington at the meeting Of Wilmington
Lodge, No. isi. international Assocl-
alton OF Machnists. held on Thursday,
january 3, the strike was officially de-
clared of at the Belts Machine plant
Of The dupont Powder Company. where
the eight-hour standard had been adopl-
ed and also at the Harlan plant Of the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation and at
the plant Of the puscy and Jones Com
pany.
This action was taken because of The
fact that The machinists wanted TO do
all within their power TO further the
Government shipbuldng program as
well as the fact that the management
OF the plants named in cooperation
with the Government had made The
cght-hour day the standard working

70 is said TO be the assumption on
The part of the labor men Of the city
that should any Of these plants be en-

The most successful aerial photo

the most part. young fellows who

able to handle a machine gun when a

with their work Of taking pictures.
