PRESIDENT SAYS LABOR
SAFEGUARDED IN PACT

President Wilson cabled Secre-
tary Tumulty today that in his
opinion the labor program adopted
as part of the treaty of peace
constitutes one of the most i'm
portant achievements of the new
day in which the interests of labor
are to be Systematically and in
telligently safeguarded and pro-
noted"
Mr.. Wilson said that he person
ally regarded the labor program
as one of the most gratifying
achievements of the conference.
and believed no other single thing
done would help more to stabilize
conditions of labor throughout the
world and ultimately relieve the
unhappy conditions which in too
many places have prevailed"
The message was made public
at the White House as follows:
THE labor program which the
conference of peace has adopted
as part Of the treaty of peace con-
stitutes one of the most impor-
tant achievements of the new day
in which the interests of labor are
to be systematically and intelli-
gently safeguarded and promoted.
Admidst the multitude of other
interests this great step forward
is apt to be overlooked and yet no
other single thing that has been
done will help more to stabilize
conditions of labor throughout the
world and ultimately relieve the
unhappy conditions which in too
many places have prevailed. Per-
sonally I regard this as one of the
most gratifying achievements of
the conference"

LOCAL MEN TO HAVE
CORDIAL WELCOME
Dinner and Theater Party
Planned for Members of
10th Field Artillery.
MEN PROMISE RESPONSE

When the several hundred Washing
ton men of the 10th Field Artillery,
10th Division, get home they will be
welcomed with dinner and theater
party, similar to the program which
has been arranged for the District
hospital company.
This was decided at a meeting of
relatives Of officers of the 10th at
the home of Mrs. Leroy w. Heron.
the Wellington apartment, last night
Donald B. Atwell of the Y. NJ. c. A,
who, with Isaac Cans, has arranged to
greet the District hospital company
next week, was present. Maj. Leroy
w. Heron commands one battery of
the 10th.
In view of the fact that big joint
demonstration for all returned Dis
trict soldiers is to be held July 4 the
relatives of the men of the 10th
have practically abandoned the idea
Of having this unit parade separately
Men Will Reciprocate.
In return for the welcome which
the city gives them the men of the
10th are prepared to respond with an
entertainment that made many a
Frenchman laugh
Thirty members of the regiment
formed theatrical company and
staged "Follies in Black and White"
So successful did they become before
such footlights as they could rig up
in the war zone that they We're flood
ed with requests to present their

they have been constantly on the
move, presenting the follies at camps
in France. 1t is practically certain
that they will stage the show in
Washington when they return.
Program Kept Secret.
Much of the program of the follies
is being kept a secret. but word has
f1oated across the Atlantic that three
members of the regiment are filing
feminine roles in regular Julian Ell
tinge style. William L. Popp is the
leading lady" with Rodman I. Ger
man and William c. Nicklas as other
ladies" of the, cast.
The director of the fo1lies is Lieut..
Charles Morton Stewart and Robert
I. Cook is leader. A stringed orches-
ira of ten furnishes the jazz for the
performing fighters.
From what they have heard of the
follies, friends of the 10th feel that
they will have to go some" to give
them a welcome that will measure up to
the performance which the returning
soldiers are prepared to stage for the
city.
Relatives Asked to Aid.
1t was decided last night to urge all
relatives of Washington men in this
field artillery to send their names to
Mrs. Ross Thompson, 2121 Kalorama
road, together with the name of the
man they are related to and a contri-
button to defray the expenses of the
theater party at which the soldiers will
be guests.

No Escape From Obligation.

III we We're to guarantee the political
independence and territorial integrity
Of Mexico or Guatemala. or any of
those states, we should have to stand
by them with our armies and our
fleets when the guaranty was in
voked. and there is no escape from
that obligation
Il am not now arguing whether we
should give the guaranty or whether
we should not give the guaranty, but
| beg my fellow countrymen to con-
slider we'll before they give this prom
ise to invoke the mighty power of
the United States to enforce a guar
anty which extends to every state on
the face of the earth
1T is tremendous promise and if
we give it, this country must carry it
out. The United States must never be
guilty of in any way impairing the
well before we do it"
MI. Hughes Views.
Charles f. Hughes, in his address
before the Union League Club, hit out
vigorously against article "
II regard the guaranty as a trouble
breeder and not peace-maker," he
said. Il believe it to be unnecessary
and unwise and there is little ground
for supposing that it will prevent
war; on the contrary it is likely to
prove illusory and to create disap-
pointment and a sense of injury and
injustice on the part of those who are
led to place confidence in it. 1t has
been said that this guaranty should
be given for the protection of the new
states to be erected in Europe. But
there appears to be no reason in any
event why guaranty of this sort
should be given to all the states in
the world which may become members
of the league"
Since these two notable utterances
on the subject, many senators have
analyzed and criticised the article in
like vein. 1t is said on Capitol Hill
that opposition to retention of this
article in the covenant has reached a
stage where some method will have to
be found to modify it or ratification
of the treaty will be indefinitely de-
layed.
