Mr.. Hoak's Letter.
he letter is as follows

The letter is as follows:
she has surely done remarkable
work in pulling Washington out of
the hole and putting across in the
campaign. We feel that she has given
real service to the Armenian and Syr-
ian relief and has taken hold of an
extremely hard situation, in which the
ordinary person would be completely
lost. Eut Mrs. Stevens. through her
ingenuity and stick-to-it-iyencss. has
been able to bring the total up to
$1a6.f53. She has the most hearty
liring efforts"
1t was announced that the national
committe. had sent out another largo
unit of war workers on July /. and
two more supply ships would sail for
the near east relief this month. y
strong plea was made for continued
contributions to this cause.

(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Oct. General relief
and satisfaction are expressed b. the
newspapers over the settlement of
the railroad strike. Most of the
papers maintain that neither side il
entitled to claim a victory but sew
eral declare the result has shown that
organized workmen are unable to in
timidate the nation.
With dramatic suddenness, Sunday
afternoon, is was announced to a
knot of persons waiting in Downig
street that the great railway strike,
which appeared to have brought the
country almost to brink of revolu-
ton, was settled and that the strikers
would resume work as quickly as pos
sible.
The terms of the settlement are in
the nature of a compromise. The Ma
tional Union of Railwaymen agrees
to call off the strike and the Govern
ment consents to renewal of the
negotiations, the continuance of the
existing wage scale for another year,
instead of six months, as previously
offered, and. the establishment of a
minimum wage of 81 shillings while
the cost of living is 10 per cent above
the pre-war level.
