WILSON'S POLICY.

Washington, Aug. 26,-Postpone-
ment of the settlement of wage de-
mands until normal economic condi-
tions are restored has been an
nounced by President Wilson as the
policy which the administration will
pursue in dealing with such ques-
tions. particularly those affecting
railroad workers.
The president announced also that
1t was neither a wise nor feasible
thing at this time, when the most i'm.
portant question before the country
is a return to a normal price level,
to attempt to increase freight rates
to provide funds for higher wages.
{. 1--WE ought to postpone questions
Of this sort until we have the oppor-
tunity for certain calculation as to
the relations between wages and the
cost OF living" the president de-
clared in a statement to the public
explaining his decision as to wages.
1T Is the duty Of every citizen to in
sist upon a truce in such contests
until Intelligent settlements can be
made, and made by peace and effec-
tive common counsel. appeal to my
fellow citizens of every employment
to cooperate in insisting upon and
maintaining such truce"
Covers All Demands.
Mr.. Wilson's statement was issued
in connection with the decision of
himself and Director General Hines
on demands by railroad shopmen for
a twenty-five per cent advance in
wages, but the general policy pro-
nounced covers also the wage de-
mands Of other hundreds of thou
sands of railroad workers, which are
pending before the director general
or about to be presented. 1t is to be
expected that other unions trying to
obtain more pay will be asked as the
shopmen, to play their part with
other citizens in reducing the cost Of
living by foregoing a temporary ad-.
vantage which wodld add to. trans-

NAMING OF BISHOPS
STIRS FRENCH DEPUTIES

PARIS. July THE appointment by
the Fench government of Catholic
bishops for Metz and Strasbourg fur
nished the subject for an animated de-
bate on the governments policy to-
ward the Vatican in the chamber Of
deputies today.
NJ. Demonzie charged that the gov
eminent had engaged in unofficial di-
plomacy with the Vatican, and Jean
Bon declared the law separating
church and state had been violated.
Stephen Pichon, foreign minister. ex-
planned that the policy of the govern
ment contemplated the upholding Of
the concordat in Alsace and Lorraine
and that there was true separation
of church and state in the rest Of
France. He said the bishops were ap-
pointed for Metz and Strasbourr be-
cause the clergy. which had given
many proofs of friendly sentiments
toward France. had asked that French
bishops succeed the German incum-
bents. Critics of the government de-
clared they were satisfied with M.
Pichon's explanations.

DEPL0RE DEATH
Of LADY PAGET
British Papers Laud Ameri-
can Woman for Heroic
Philanthropic Service.

LONDON. June 15.-The death of
Lady Paget, wife of Gen. Sir Arthur
Paget, evoked eulogies of her in
many British papers, which keenly
regret the passing of the American
woman who gladdened SO many lives
by her philanthropic work.
For nearly forty years Lady Paget
was a leader of London society. She
made the organizing of entertain
ments for charitable purposes almost
the main business of her life, raising
enormous sums. Her activities along
that line were continued throughout
the war.
Lady Paget was the daughter of
Paran Stevens. an American hotel
man. She, Lady Randolph Churchill
and the Duchess of Manchester. the
Manchester Guardian recalls were a
trio Of American beauties who shook
the exclusiveness of English society
in the early seventies" when they
made their aristocratic marriages and
leaders and friends of King Edward
and Queen Alexandra. Lady Paget
was then described as "a dark. bril-
liant young beauty with remarkable
blue-black eyes"
Twenty years ago she was crippled
by an accident in an elevator, but it
made no difference to her social and
charitable work. She had four chill
dren. a son who died during the war
two who were wounded, and a daugh-
ter, Lady Ralph Paget, who made a
name for herself in hospital work for
the Serbians.

Confidence in the government, il
was understood, probably would not
be considered as having been at stake
in the vote on the motion.
The emancipation bill now before
the house of commons was designed
to give women political and legal
equality with men. 1t included pro-
vision permitting women to sit in the
