Paris, Sept 3.-Austria's RESPONSE
pility for starting the world war is
definitely fixed by the Allies in note
transmitting, the peace treaty to the
Austrian commission. "The people of
Austria, together with their neighbors,
the people of Hungary, bear in a
peculiar degree responsibilities for
the calamities which have befallen Eu-
rope during the last Eve years. the
Supreme Councils memorandum
states.
The Austrian-Hun ultimatum of
1914 to Serbia is branded as mo more
than an insincere excuse for beginning
the war for which the late autocratic
government at Vienna, in close asso-
citation with the rulers of Germany,
had long prepared and for which it
considered the time had arrived.
Until the signing of the peace the
people Of Austria are and will remain
an enemy people, upon it's signature
they will become a state with whom
the Allied and associated powers hope
and expect to maintain friendly rela-
tions"
Chancellor Karl Renner, head of
the Austrian peace delegation, has left
for Vienna with the peace treaty,
which was handed to the Austrians.
He indicated he would probably ask
for an extension Of time, as the Aus
trian general assembly would meet
in few days to discuss the terms.
The Supreme council, it is announced,
will extend the time, if Austria so
requests.
The treaty was presented to the
Austrian delegates by Paul Dutasta,
general secretary of the Peace confer
ence. He also handed them the Al
lied reply to the Austrian counter
proposal

CHICKEN FEED.H

Republican inability or unwillingness
to arise to great emergency was new
er more brazenly confessed than in a
recent debate in Congress when Repre-
sentative Mann of Illinois character
lied the legislation now on the Con-
gressional calendar as "chicken feed. -
Mr.. Mann was Republican House
door leader in the last Congress, and is
his party 3 real leader on the floor now.
He dominates the so-called steering
committee, which allows nothing to get
to the Aoor without the Illinois states
man Is O. X. Mr.. Mondell is leader in
name only.
The day following President Wilson 8
address to the joint session of Congress-,
when he requested the immediate en-
actment of legislation to strengthen his
hands in his fight to bring down the
prices Of foodstuffs and rescue the peo-
pie from the clutch of the profteer, Mr..
Mann made his striking and brazen
Characterization.
Mr.. Mann was probably "peeved' at
the defeat Of his plan for recess, and so
far as he is individually concerned, he
declines to have his vacation plans
spoiled by any public business, no mat
ter how serious it may be. He very
frankly said so. He bluntly served no.
tice that he wasn't going to "stay on
the job.' 1t will require the ser
vices Of sergeant-at farms to keep him
in Washington during the hot weather,
he told the House. "Chicken Feed''
is on the calendar, said Mr.. Mann, and
"chicken feed' can be disposed Of at
any time, in his opinion.
Among the matters the Illinois Re,
preventative regards as "chicken feed'
it is but natural to assume, for they are
the problems that are pressing for at
tention, is legislation to bring food
prices down to a fair level and stop the
ravages Of the profteers upon the
purses Of the people; legislation to deal
with the railroad problem, the soldier
land bill and the many other construc'
tive measures President Wilson has
recommended.
The American people will hardly
agree with Mr.. Mann $ logic that these
are "chicken feed.'' But probably
Mr.. Mann would be a better judge OF
packing house products Bulletin, >..r ;

President Calls Representatives

{ - Meet With Him.
COOPERATION URGED
Message BY Wilson Expresses P'eas
ure over Organized sLabors
Attitude Relief Of
Tension Soon.

Washington, Sept. 2.-President
Wilson, TN a Labor day message to
American workers, announced that hd
would call in the near future q confer4
ence of representatives of labor and
industry ito discuss fundamental
means of lettering the whole re1ation@
ship of capital and labor and putting
the whole question of wages upon
another footing"
Encouraged Over Price Fight.
The president said he was encour=
aged and pleased with the results thus
far of the governments efforts to
bring down the cost of living, and ex-
pressed confidence that substantial re-
suits would be achieved in the solving
of this problem. Patience and vigil
ance, however, he said, must be exer-
cised and the governments efforts
must have the cooperation of every
citizen.
Presumably referring to the existing
labor unrest and threats Of strikes, the
president appealed to every citizen to
refrain from doing anything that
would tend to increase the cost of liv-
ing, but instead to do all possible to-
promote production.
Pleased at Labor's Attitude: =
The president expressed particular
qualification at the attitude taken by
the representatives of organized labor
in supporting the governments pro!
gram to meet requests for additional
wages through lowering of living
costs, and said he hoped that the works
ers themselves would "move with the
government instead of against it in the
solution of this great domestic prob
lem
The proposed conference, it was
stated authoritatively, would be called
to meet soon after President WilsonA
returns at the end of September from
his speech-making tour of the west. =
It was thought likely that the meet3
ing would be held at the White House,
as was the reconstruction conference
Of governors and mayors last spring. :.

A lot of nonsense has been talked
about government ownership of rail-
roads, as if such a thing had really
been in existence during the war.
There was a government control, fore
cd by the fact that the railroads, with
all their skilled executives, had utterly
broken down, but even this control was
limited by the fact, which must no be
overlooked, that the operation Of the
roads was left in the hands of those
who had every reason to want to dis
credit both government control and
government ownership. It would be
impossible to expect fair trial under
such conditions, and yet it is admitted
that the railroads, under former control,
could not have met war exigencies at
all. It is also admitted that the rail-
roads could not safely return to former
conditions. There is, Of course great
propag anda under way, but no one
should be misled as to its sources
which undoubtedly is with the gang
of Wall street fnanciers who have loot
ed most Of the big railroads, and who
deserve to be in prison, where none of
them has ever been sent. Those who
are so sure that government ownership
or even government control, won It
work, ought to be consistent, and advo-
cate turning over the postoffice, the
army and the navy to private owner
ship and operation. In the most ire
mendous crisis that ever came on the
world, the nations that did not have
control of railroads took them, and none
has let 20 as yet.

There is a great difference between
the organization of the Grand Army Of
the Republic and the soldiers organi-
cations now being formed. The form
er was practically and necessarily con-
fined to the northern states. The new
organization embraces all states and
there can be no sectional aspect to the
society. This also will safeguard it as
to partisan politics. Undoubtedly
clever politicians will endeavor to use
the organizations, as clever politicians
did in other days gone by, but that is
unavoidable. It will be up to the SOL
diers and sailors to watch out for the
manipulation, the partisan and the self
seeker. Here and there are signs that
those gentry are already busy, but the
men in the organization will be on the
lookout, as will the public.
