The world Of labor gathered in
Washington today, and the city is

the worlds history.
All nations are represented-all
but the United States, which can
seat no delegates until the treaty of

American lsborites for leadership, a

Secretary of Labor Wilson made a
brief address of welcome to the first
international labor conference. which

Keeping Up With
The Times
A FACT A DAY

The United States Depart.
ment Of Labor hasn't any
doubt on the subject of the
desirability and efficiency Of
advertising. A statement Just
issued from Roger w. Bab-
sons bureau of that depart
ment says:
"If you are not adver-
tising, then advertise, be-
cause it saves money for
you and it reduces the
price to the consumer.
advertising prevents
profteering. 1t insures
honest profits and makes
them permanent.
"The message of the
U. S. Department of La
Dor to merchants and
manufacturers and to all
progressive A m erican
business men is to ad-
vertise.
"Tell the public about
your goods. The con-
sumer has plenty of
money. He is willing to
spend it and we want him
to spend it on American
made products. The
easiest, quickest and most
economical way in which
this can be accomplished
is by advertising"

our officers never had any trouble in

the wounded.
Blood TRANSMISSION is something
which stands apart in its beneficial re-
suits. There is nothing which can
restore the strength like the transfu-
sion of the actual blood. In cases
where men would come into the hos
pitaol almost drained of their blood,
and in state of coma, the transfu.
sion of new blood was the only way
to save them. The patient usually
regained CONSCIOUSNESS sin half an
hour or less, as the fresh blood was
quickly circulated throughout the en-

and the blood has become SO impover

ADDRESS OF SENATOR
FLETCHER At THE CELE.
BRATION OF ANNIVERSARY
OF ARMISTICE IN LAFAY-
ETTE SQUARE, WASHINGTON
Ladies and Gentlemen:

Ladies' and Gentlemen:
About this hour one year ago the
military forces comprising men, guns,
munitions and every means Of de-
struction yet devised, the most stu
pendous since the beginning Of time,
ceased operations.
The antagonists faced each other
in numerous sectors scarcely hun
drew yards apart, along a line that
would reach further than from here
to New York. That line in front Of
Paris and Calais might well be
called the death curve.
For over four years the deadly as
sault upon the democracy Of the
world had been waged with all the
might OF the Central Powers.
When America threw her strength
into the struggle they soon realized
the hopelessness of their aims and
ambitions. Accordingly on the 18th
of November, 1918, they owned de-
feat, hostilities ceased, and the
bloodiest, most destructive war in his
tory came to an end, and civilization
was saved.
It had cost $3.50, 100000, 900.
The total for all belligerents Of
dead on the field of battle numbered
1850 900 men.
The wounded and manned wer'
probably three times that.
$4,000 Of our bravest and best wer'
slain, and 10000 more were torn ant
crippled.
over 100000 had gone to the bat
tie lines, and 100000 more wer
ready.
i These courageous and patriot
americans went forth as defenders o
liberty and champions Of civilization
and they sought to bring to the WORT
a righteous and a permanent peace
That is what the Armistice mean
7 to them.
: I venture to sag they would nc
ecquiesce in the idea that such war
are inevitable, and we must look fol
ward for the next one. They surel
