RAIL ISSUES

BIG MEETING

ton at Detroit.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. S.
Whether 100000 maintenance
of way men and shop labOrers
of this country and Canada
walk out and tie up more than
500 rail lines seems to depend
entirely on what DirectOr-Gen-
eraI of Railroads Walker ID.
Hines, will tell the men Wed
nesday and on the report of
the committee which conferred
with Mr.. Hines in Washington,
to be presented Friday.
Sentiment at the opening seS-
siOns here today of the cOnven-
tiOn of the United Brother
hood of Maintenance of Way
employees aud Railway Shop
labOrers was almost unani-
mOusly in favor of a strike
without compromise, unless
wage and other demands are
met by the railroad administra-
ton.
DirectOr-GeneraI Hines is
expected TO offer a compromise
Wednesday.

with infinite timidity, and We are
in it only because you Over-per-
suaded US, and wanted US to come
in, and we are going to sit here
and try this door every once in a
while and see it isn't locked and
just as SOON as we see anything we
don't like, we are going to scUttle.
Fear OF Failure Shown.
What are they afraid of? Are
they afraid that when the United
States wishes to withdraw, it will
not have fulfilled its international
obligations? Are they willing to
bring that Indictment against this
beloved country?
My fellow citizens, we never did
fail to fulfill any obligation We have
made (Applause) And, God to
guide and help US, we never will.
Il have already adverted to their
difficulties under Article 10, and
will not return to those. That diff
Guilty is merely as l represented it
just now; they don't want to go in
as partners; they want to go in as
late joiners, because they all admit
that in a war which imperils the
just arrangements of mankind,
America, the greatest, richest,
freest people of the world must
take sides with the cause. We can
not live without taking sides. We
dedicated ourselves to justice and
liberty when we were born, and
we are not going to get senile and
forget it"
Are there any patriotic Ameri-
cans who desire the method chang
ed? (Cries of no). Do they want
me to ask the Germans if l may
read the treaty to them expressed
in the words the United States
senate thinks it ought to have been
written in? So you see that the
reservations come down to this,
that they want to change the Ian
guage OF the treaty without chang
ing its meaning, and let me say,
there are Indications am not
judging from official dispatches but
from the newspapers the peo-
pie are not in as good humor over
in France as when l was over
there, and after dealing with those
gentlemen, I found that they are
as ingenious as any American in
attaching unexpected meanings to
plain words. l don't want, there
fore, having gone through the mill
on the existing language, to go
through it again on changed Ian
guage."

AUSTRIA SIGNS
IN A HURRY BUT
WILL PROTEST
Claims Country's Right to
Free Disposal of Itself
Has Been Violated.

Paris, Sept. 8.-Dr. Karl Renner
will sign the Austrian peace treaty
Wednesday.
Vienna. Sept. 6.-(By Associated
Press. )-The national assembly by
O. vote of 81 to % today decided to
sign the peace treaty The assem-
bly,, however, protested against
''the violation of Austria's right to
free disposal of herself"
The German nationalists voted
against signature of the treaty,
while some members of the south
Tyrolese party abstained from vot-
ing. The vote was taken after
adoption without dissent of the
governments resolution of protest
presented by the Christian Social
ist Hauser, declaring the territOr-
iaI clauses of the treaty grossly
violate the national claim to self
determination and the basis on
which the armistice was conclud-
ed.
~Peaee Founded on Force
1--WE raise once more our voice
against a peace founded on brute
force" said the resolution. LAS
one man, we decline the dividing
up of our peoples into free and
unfree, as is done by this peace.
We further declare that the 4,000,-
600 Germans forced under foreign
rule will for all time insist on
self-determination as the only pos
sible basis on which the modern
state may be founded"
The resolution also declares that
ultimate reunion with Germany is
an absolute necessity and express
es the hope that when the hatred
of the wa dies down this union
will be consummated. 1t ends by
placing responsibility for sleeping
Europe into revolution on the
shoulders OF the entente and looks
to the League of Nations to repair
the wrong done.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. S.-Whether
there will be declared a strike, that
it is claimed would tie up all rail
transportation in this country and
Canada, will be decided at the con-
vention of the International United
Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way
Employees and Shop Laborers,
which was to open here today.
With from 1000 to 5000 dele
gates, representing, it is stated.
100000 maintenance of way and
shop workers, attending, the con-
vention is ready to consider action
on the strike vote canvassed last
week which stood $4,000 for and
5000 against the proposed strike,
should wage demands of the
brotherhood be denied. Director
General of Railroads Walker D.
Hines is expected to address the
men during the convention.

the view an agreement satisfactory
to the men may be reached.
1t is claimed 25 per cent of the
maintenance of way and shop work
ers represented receive less than
$3.50 a day. An increase of wages
of $1.00 per day, per man, is de-
manded.

two weeks, and, among other mat
ters, will consider provident plan,
with death benefits; creation of an
educational system, providing tech
nical schOl scholarships and pro-
noting efficiency; and the organi-
zation of a woman's auxiliary.

WILSON SAVES
STRENGTH FOR
HIS LONG TOUR
Making No Platform
Speeches and Takes
Things Easy.

On Board President Wilson's s
Special Train, Sept. 8.-Carrying g
its appeal for acceptance of the
peace treaty into the heart of the
northwest, President Wilson began
today a week of travel that will
take him over the Rockies and all
the way to the Pacific coast.
Two addresses were on the pres
ident's crowded schedule again to-
day, one at the auditorium at
Omaha, Neb., and the other at an
evening mass meeting in Sioux
Falls, S. D. Departing at midnight
from Des Moines, Iowa, where he
had spent Sunday, the president
was to reach Omaha some hours
before the address, but he wanted
to sleep late and local plans had
adjusted so as to give him as full
nights rest as possible.
Conserving Strength.
On the advice of his physician.
DR.. Cary r. Grayson, the president
is conserving his strength for the
three weeks of travel and speech
making ahead of him. After his
breathing spell in Des Moines, Mr..
Wilson was said to be in excellent
trim, but DR.. Grayson will insist
that he take things easy.
1t was principally on account of
a slight cold impairing the presi
dents voice that DR.. GraysOn pre-
scribed against rear platform
speeches. Although his voice is
holding up well. it has broken
once or twice during his addresses
and to one audience he remarked
that the circumstances was due to
"the remains of a Paris cold"
On the presidential private car
the president and Mrs. Wilson are
well taken care of. Mrs. Wilson's
maid came along and there is one
of the White house cooks aboard
to prepare their meals.

PROPHETIC WORDS

On Dec. IL, 1889. Georgia's
brilliant orator, Henry w. Grady.
whose untimely Death a short
time afterwards was mourned
by the whole country, delivered
an address of wonderful power
on THE Race Problem" at the
annual banquet of the Boston
Merchants Association. His clos
ing words come to us in the light
of the present day. as indeed a
marvellous prophecy. He said:
I'VE, sir, are Americans and
we stand for human liberty!
The uplifting force of America
is under every throne on earth,
France, Brazil these are our
victories. To redeem the earth
from kingcraft and oppression
this is our mission!
And we shall not fail. God
has sown in our soil the seed of
his milennial harvest and He
will not lay the sickle to the
ripening crop until His full and
perfect day has come. Our his
tory, sir, has been a constant
and expanding miracle from
Plymouth Rock and Jamestown
all the way-aye, even from the
hour when, from the voiceless
and traceleSs ocean, a new world
rose to the sight of the inspired
sailor. AS we approach the
fourth centennial of that stu
pendous day, when the old world
will come to marvel and to learn
amid our gathered treasures, let
US resolve to crown the miracles
of our past with the spectacle
of a republic compact, united,
indissoluble in the bonds of love,
loving from the lakes to the gulf,
the wounds Of war healed in
every heart as on every hill, Sc
rene and resplendent at the
summit of human achievement
and earthly glory, blazing out
the path and making clear the
way up which all the nations of
the earth must come in Gods
appointed time"

While at Benny Willis was busy IN
the canteen one night when TWO OH
ccrs entered. They wore uniforms OF
the Fiftieth French artillery. TheI
canteen was full of dOughbOys get,
ting cigarettes and chocolate, and the
Frenchmen. who seemed in great
hurry. picked up several pieces OF
chocolate and started to go out. Then
they hesitated and turned back toward
the counter. AS they did so a dough
boy heard one of them say to the
other. "Wie viel?" (How muchD.
A group of eight or ten doughboy'
entered at that moment, and in the
crowding and jostling and dim hght
the soldier who had heard the remark
lost sight of the officers for moment
When he looked for them again they
had vanished. Headquarters was tel
ephoned that spies had been in the
canteen, but the pair made good theii
escape in the darkness.
In the ArgOnne drive Willis was al
work i'm a first-aid station when Cap
tain Baker was wounded in the bar
rage. Willis went back through the
barrage. serving as a litter bearer,
and helped carry wounded down
through the mud for four kllOmeters
to the ambulances.
Two days before the last drive in
the Argonne Willis went back into the
village of ROmagne to get supplies for
a first-aid station. AS he entered the
town the Germans opened up on IT
with a battery Of SSs, and the second
she'll sent over landed in the street
within twenty-five feet of him. The
shell killed two soldiers on a truck,
setting fire to the gasoline tank and
cremating one of the men. Two others
were killed and thirty wounded, one
of whom was Willis, piece of steel
being driven through his foot.
The field hospital to which he was
taken had been shelled ten minutes.
before he arrived, and four hospital
attendants and several engineers had
been wounded. A few minutes later
some German airmen came over and
bombed the place, one of the bombs
ripping a piece of cloth from under
the head of doughboy two stretchers

doughboy was not even scratched.

Second Organization Of This Kind In
State VIII be Formed in keo-
kuk, II Is Ex-
pected.
PROJECT IS DISCUSSED
Dozen Interested Business and Pro
fessionaI Men Learn What 1t
is and Its
Aims.

4 The second Kiwanis club in Iowa
will be organized at Keokuk II the
plans proposed by w. B. Millard 10
a dozen representative men last even'
ing materialize as they probably VIII.
The KiWanis clubs number now
about 800, and are spreading rapidly.
Clubs recently have been organized
in Quincy and Rock Island, and there
lis a large club in Des Moines, the
first to be organized in Iowa.
The aims and purposes or the
Kiwanis club were set out last, night
in an interesting way by Mr.. Mffiard,
before men who represent various
lines OF business and professions
here, at a dinner and meeting held
in the Streeter room or the Y. w.
C. A.
"Kiwanis," Mr.. Willard said, lis an
Indian name meaning helpfulness.
The idea underlying the Kiwanls
clubs is the golden rule in business.
Membership is limited to two repre-
sentatives in each business or pro-
fession."
In giving the reasons for the or
'ganization of such club in any wide
awake community, Mr.. Millard said:
1.-THE average business or profess
sional man spending nine-tenths OF
his time in one home and one office
lis in danger of growing narrow. In
a Kiwanis club his horizon is broad
ened and his ideas enlarged.
'In an inevitable and not neces-
,sarily opprobrious sense, business is
selfish It's chief concern Is getting
If it does not get or accumulate
profits and dividends 1t fails. The
man who lives in this atmosphere all
the time will unconsciously grow self
conferred and selfish. To this tend
ency, Kiwanis is an offset and an
antidote 1t is balance wheel.
4 Cooperation is Spirit.
"The exchange of ideas among sue
cessful men in various lines keeps a
man wide awake and UP to date. The
good fellowship which is created by
intimate acquaintance with a bunch
OF broad-gauge, high spirited, whole
hearted, successful men keeps one
mellow and optimistic and human.
"a Kiwanis club is an asset to any
city 1t stands for everything goot
and. boosts the whole community
BY utilizing the noon hour and limit
ing the meetings to sixty minutes the
advantages of the club are secured
without requiring fun evening, as
most clubs and lodges and without
infringing on business hours"
Individual expression of opinion
last night favored the organization
of such club here, and plans have
been set going for such IN organiza
ton being formed.
