BOLSHEWSM Is
ENEMY OF LABOR
SAYS SAM G0MPERS
He declares Organized Labor is
Protection against Radical
In Address to Commission

PARIS, Feb. 5;-Samuel Gompers
president of the American federation
of labor who was elected President
of the International commission on
labor, now in session, outlined the
hopes and perls of labor in the future
in press interview today.
He expressed much confidence in
the restraining influence of trade
unions on the workers and said there
was need Of sympathetic treatment
and understanding of the mems aims
on the part of employers.
The armies of democracy have over
thrown the most powerful dynasties
in the world, he said. 1.-THE absolute
autocrats of but little while ago are
dead in the dust. But there is no use
saying to ill-cIad, hungry people; You
are free men and women. We have
been victorious in this war. With the
war the cost of living has enormously
increased, but wages have been insult
ficiently advanced to meet this cost
1t is in the inadequacy of his surround
ings that we discover the cause which
induces the workmen to degenerate
into a Rolshevist. The organization of
labor is protection against Bolshe-
vsm."

In compliance with the request of
the National Council of Defense, re-
questing all States, county communi-
ty and municipal councils Of defense
to do everything possible to make
successful the nationwide arrange
ment for a memorial service for Theo-
dore Roosevelt on February 9, at the
same time that services are held by
Congress, Rev. c. M. Van Marter has
announced today that the local mem
orIai service will be held at Red Men
Hall here Sunday, Feb. 9, at 7:3o pm.
The Council of Defense. by direc-
tion Of Secretary Baker, has sent out
kilograms to all local councils which
reads in part as follows:
because of the peculiarly non-par
tisan character of the great Council
of Defense system" said the telegram.
at is singularly fitting that the fore
going action should be taken. The
honoring of Theodore Roosevelt is a
matter thattranscends party belief
and personal prejudice. He lived
greatly for America and that is en-
ough to justify even those who OPP
ncsed him in mourning his DEATH"

WAR HAS CHANGED THE
APPETITE SAYS REPORT

WINNIPEG, can.,-War-time food
conservation campaigns in the Cana
dian Northwest have changed the ap-
petites of the people. Hundreds Of
tons of fish and game once deemed
unfit as food, are being consumed
each month throughout the Dominion.
Whale and flatfish seem to lead as
sea foods, while beaver and other fur
bearing animals, hitherto unthought
of as table deIicacies, likewise are
given prominent places in the food
lists used every day
Whale meat which failed to win rec
ogniton in Canada until last summer
is being sold by the ton from Vancou
yer to Halifax. The Dominion Food
Boards success in the campaign to
market Pacific fIatfish is indicated by
the officials estimate that 100000
pounds have been consumed in six
months. Fishermen formerly threw
away this fish.
Until 1918 trappers retained only
the peIts of beavers. The Minnesota
campaign in behalf of beaver flesh as
food attracted attention in Mantio-
ba and hotels, in this province added
beaver meat to their menus.
Later someone discovered that
chickens "went wild over beaver" and
~esulteing experiments indicated that
diet of beaver meat improved the
egsIaying, qualities of hens in cold
weather
Wild rice that grows in abundance
in the Northern Lake districts also
was ignored until American and Cana
dian commission men in eastern cities
began making steady demands for it.
Canadian people started eating it az
ter it had gained popularity in hotels.

Weimar, a small but interesting town
of Germany. suddenly jumps into the
headlines of the press all over the
world because the new National AS
sembly has finally decided on it as
the place where the first meeting will
b. held.
Weimar is the capital Of the grand
duchy Of -Weimar-Eise and
the residenceof the grand duke. It
stands in a pleasant valley on the left
bank of the Elm; but the environs are
in no way Remarkable and the town
itself is irre9ulariy and rather poorly
built. Though the residence Of the
court. Weimarcarries on neither trade
nor manufactures, and seems a dull,
rrovinciai-Iooking town. The Iuster
conferred on it by the residence here.
1T the close Of the 18th and the earli-
err portion ofthe 18th century, of Goe-
the Schiller, Herder. and WieIand.
at the court of karI-August, has fad.
ed since that group was broken up
by death: and now tire interest OF
the place (Thackeray's "PumpernIck-
pI") is almost wholly derived from its
monuments. traditions. and associa.
tions. The town church dating from
the year 400 has "crucifixion" by
c-anach and contains a number Of
memorable tombs, among which are
those of Bernhard of Weimar and
Herder Other buildings are the
Rothes schloss, the Grunes schloss,
with library of 1870 900 volumes, and
relics Of Luther and Gustavas Adolf
uhus: the court theatre where List
produced Waunnr'a "Lohengrin" and
the houses of Cranach, Goethe and
Schiller. The park and gardens Of
tho palace within which is the sum
nnar residence of Goethe, are much
esteemed as promenade. The popu-
iation in 1896 was 26.670.
