Division In Which Most of Keo<uk Sc
lectives Went Receives Signal
Honors from General

Coiors of Several Regiments in Which

precision and excellent physical ap-
pearance OF the men, as well as the

ing, who recently reviewed the divt-
sion at Gondrecourt

REACH THE CREST OFF
THE STRIKE WAVE

The feverish strike movement is
reaching its crest Thoughtful leaders
OF organized labor are sounding n note
of warning. At last the long suffering
public is in rebellion, refusing longer
10 be ground to powder between the
millstones OF capital and labor.
What the public did to capital when
1t became menace to society some
twenty years ago, II threatens openly
to DO to labor unless the latter places
restraint upon its radical advisers who
have been driving It far beyond the
boundaries Of reason or justice.
When. on August ST. President Will
son issued hts Labor day message, urg-
ing every good citizen to do all In his
power TO increase production and
carefully economic. he expressed the
earnest hope that workers generally
VIII emphattcilfy endorse the position
of their leadersA and thereby move
with the government instead of against
It, in the solution of our greatest do
nestle problem"--the high cost of liv-

The president called a halt in time
Radical leaders had gone too far on
the wrong road. The public was
aroused. 1t had suffered enough. At
the command OF some unknown tn-
truder 1t had been told when II could
or could not ride on trolley cars. when
II could light or heat its homes. and
when It could ride on trains or send
freight or express---all this at the COM
mand of radical leaders of strikes.
Such an un-American condition could
not last. The worm will turn. The
president with foresight realized the
situation He coupled the high cost OF
labor with the high cost of living. He
made no new discovery when he
broke the plain truth to radical labor
leaders. The threatened strike of the
railroad workers faded away in the
light of his message, and II the at
tempt is now made to carry out the
threat to tic up the coal mines and the
steel industry, the public will stand be-
hind the president II no will maintain
with hrmness the attitude he took on
Labor day and on the Boston police

realize the peril Of the situation. They
appreciate that the third factor. In

GREAT VALUE OF

ing illustration OF the disproportion-

ing the first six weeks of It's work were
less than 20 cents weekly The rea-

practice Of the Red Cross generally

Of much greater value to the people
Than money. Thus, during the six

CHURCHES TO HOLD
WORLD CONFERENCE

Detroit. Mich, Oct. LA world
conference on faith and order Is as
sured. 1t win probably convene dur
ing 1920, but the definite date has not
beet fixed. The success that has at
tended the world tour of three bishops
OF the Protestant Episcopal church
In the United States to secure pledges
OF participation In the conference of
the great churches of Christendom
greatest ecumenical council in the
religious history OF the world. While
1t may not affect the organic union
OF the divided bodies OF Christ
throughout the world, /. will bring
them together as "a world league of
Christian brethren for Christian SER
vice" as they have never been brought
before.
The deputation of bishops who have
Just returned from a tour OF tho
world In the interest Of the confer
ence will make a report at the trien-
NAL general convention OF the Profess
tant Episcopal. church in the United
States which assemblies In this city
October s. The bishops making the
tour were the Rt. Rev. Charles An
der3on, the bishop Of Chicago, the
Rt. Rev. Reginald Heber Weller, the
bishop Of Fond du Lac, Wis, and
the Rt. Rev. Boyd Vincent the bishop
of Southern Ohio They have issued
the following formal declare ton:
The world conference is now as
sured. The invitation to join in ar
ranging for 1t has been accepted gem
orally by churches throughout the
world which find their hope in God
in three Persons. Our Creator. Re-
deemer and Santffier. the manifesto
ton Of infinite life and perfect love
in One, transcahding all worlds, yet
ready to dwell In every humblest
heart. The church of Rome is an
exception, for the pope has found
himself unable to accept this oppor-
tunsty to make clear the faith and
claims Of the church Of Rome and to
try to appreciate the position Of other
communions.
The commission appointed nine
years ago by the American Episcopal
church to issue the invitations TO the
conference does not feel than it's task
Is complete till 1t urges thanksgiving
and prayer. II therefore begs ali who
bear the name of the Son Of God In
carnate to offer constant thanks to
God for His grace which Is stirring
the hearts Of men to unity, and to
pray regularly and earnestly that God
the Holy Ghost will guide and
strengthen every movement for re-
union and all the preparations for
the convening OF The world confer
ence, so that, when its members as
Semble all in one place they may be
prepared to receive, all of one ac-
cord the guidance of the Spirit of

tons.
