MAY TO NERVES.;
CONDITION BAD

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 15.-
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor and
labor's representative at the indus
trial conference now in session in
this city, is in serious condition
today as a result of nervous ex-
!, haustion. His temperature this
morning was 101.
Labor leaders say that the col
lapse of the veteran organizer Is
the result of months of unremitting
work in connection with the peace
treaty, the international labor con-
gress at Amsterdam, and the steel
strike situation The illness, it is
believed, was fastened by the de-
liberations of the conference of the
past two days on the question Of
arbitrating the steel strike, Gompers
having been occupied almost con-
tinuously in an effort to avert a
deadlock.

crat, of Oklahoma proposed an in

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. Is
A tense situation has developed in
the industrial conference as the re-
suit of the controversy over labor's

President Wilson is much opposed

is keeping in touch with govern

steel strike controversy should not
endanger the success of the con-

delegates to resume their work with
a firm resolve to see it through to a
successful finish.

The steering committee of the
conference has offered the sugges-
ton that committee of six repre-
sentatives of the public, not in at

named to arbitrate the steel strike,
provided the conference approves la
boris demand that the question be

the Senate concur. Thus while the
power to declare war lies in Congress,
the power to make peace lies with
the President, the Senate concurring.
Lacking concurrence by the Senate the
President cannot declare peace.
There can be no evasion of the is
sue relative to amendment or inter
probation of the treaty by Senate reso-
luton by any short cut to peace decla-
ration. The Senate must choose its
course, to ratify without qualification,
to ratify with an accompanying quail
fcation respecting certain obligations
on the United States as member of
the league Of nations, or to ,ratify with
those reservations made part Of. the
ratifying resolution. The first course
leaves no doubt of result. The second
course makes certain Of peace and
quite as certain Of the preservation of
any rights that majority of the Sen
ate may deem it necessary specifically
to reserve. The third course puts in
doubt both the conclusion Of peace and
the preservation of American rights,
through postponement of the. final act
of treaty conclusion.

CONGRESS and the Review,

, Consideration should be given by
Congress promptly to the plans for
grand review Of the 1st Division Of
regulars, representing the American
Army in France, headed by Gen.
Pershing, next month. In at least one
particular this occasion can be marked
as ,typifying the close of hostilities
and the attainment of victory. Con-
gress can pass a resolution declaring
a holiday upon the day the troops
march past in review, and that should
be done:
The parade Of an entire division of
troops, even in mass formation, which
is proposed, will occupy several hours.
Washington has never before seen
such an array of soldiers and equip
ment. The review will, therefore, vir-
tually Fill the day. It will attract here
large numbers of people, eager to pay
tribute by their presence to the valor
and the success of the men who went
to France to uphold American honor.
Not merely to afford the fullest pos
sible opportunity to the largest num-
Der of people to see the review, but
to emphasize the occasion as a ma
tional recognition Of the services of
the American soldiers in France,
through this representation, a holiday
should be proclaimed. A resolution of
Congress will serve thus to denote the
review as expression Of the country's
feelings on what will probably be
the. last possible suitable occasion.

Doing Mexico's Police Work.

Mexico's protest against the incur
sion of American troops into the ter
| ritory south of the border is not to be
taken very seriously, as indicating in
itself increase of strain or danger Of
a clash between the two governments.
1t is the usual course. 1t was followed
before when our soldiers went over
the line in pursuit of bandits. The
government at Mexico City is bound
to make record of protesting, even
though it actually assents to or per-
mits the invasion.
Mexico City knows perfectly well
that our soldiers are not in that coun-
try for any purpose of conquest. They
are merely acting as policemen, pur-
suing lawbreakers whom the Mexican
government consessedly is unable to
keep in order. Failing to secure pro-
lection from Mexico in this matter of
border outlawry, we are compelled to
do the work ourselves as far as pos
sible, and, whatever may be. the po-
itieal necessity impelling the Me1i-
can government to enter formal pro-
test. our government is conscious of a
clear record in going sbarply.after the
brigands, even if the chase takes us
far into Mexican territory.
Of course. this sort of thing cannot
continue indefinitely. We cannot
everlastingly be. compelled to violate
a neighbor's soil, however innocent our
motive of grasping purposes, in order
to protect our borders. Repetition Of
the occasion. with its show of Official
Mexican indignation and protest, wears
thinner the thread of our patience with
a condition that makes for war; There
is danger every time our troops 60
over the line lest some large, force;
ef bandits or government troops should
oppose their progress and precipitate
a battle. In the present state of dis
organization and. loose government
control this may happen at any time
and the consequences are almost GER
tain to be serious.
In reply to Mexico's protest in. the
present case the United States should
and probably win sharply note the
fact that our troops have. gone into
Mexico solely because of the incapacity
Of the home government to guarantee
order and afford protection to our ma
tionals. Such a representation my not
have an effect at Mexico City, Injured
to reproaches of this character, but It
will keep our record perfectly straight
in the eyes Of the world.

No Peace by Proclamation.

President Wilson holds that he can
not declare or proclaim peace prior
o the ratification of. the treaty. His
-eply to Senator Fall on this point Is
EXPLICIT. His answer to the senator's
1ucceeding questions relative to the
power of Congress to do the same
hing is not categorical, but expresses
the opinion inferentially that Congress
cannot, in advance of ratification OF
the treaty, declare . state. of peace.
The intimation is strong that he would
veto resolution to that effect. He
leaves no doubt Of his view that such
a declaration of peace in, advance of
ratification would be an abandonment
of the allies Of the United States, and
would put stain upon the honor of
the nation.
American sentiment will Sustain the
President in this position. The way to
declare peace is specifically outlined.
A treaty. of peace has been negotiated
and is now before the Senate, charged
by the Constitution with the duty of
ratification or rejection, and not with
the power of amendment. The Senate
can accompany the ratification resolu-
tion with an expression Of opinion re-
garding the meaning Of certain pro-
visions affecting the United States.
The President holds that to embody
those reservations in the ratifying
resolution will be tantamount to
amendment, compelling resubmission
of the treaty abroad.
Congress is by the Constitution en-
powered to declare war, but not to
declare peace. Peace is effected
through treaties, which the Constitu-
tion empowers the Presiden4 to make
with the stipulation that two-thirds OF

The Fair-Price Plan.

With 600 food dealers Of Washing
ton united in a pledge to maintain
fair prices and to proclaim q fair
price margin Of profit on goods han
died by them, in conjunction with rep
resentstives Of the government, there
is q prospect that that portion. of the
e1cessecost of necessities that flows to
the retailers may be- eliminated. These
dealers represent practically the en-
tire distribution agency of the capital.
The fair-priee margin Of profit is to
be declared by committee composed
of consumers, retailers and whole
salers. It should, therefore. be de-
pendable as guide to the public in
rating the selling prices as fair or
extortionate.
The retailers profit has been often
assailed as one of the chief causes of
the continued high cost OF, living. But
it is obvious that this 10 but the final
item in the equation. Back Of II are

retailers profit is the one that i'm

production and distribution. It is nat
ural that he should regard with sus-
picion the man from whom he buys his
goods, even though the retailer may
be making only living profit.
