President In 1916. and by the Central
Federated union of New York, which
represents more than 100000 trade
unions In the greater city and vicinity.
MIR, Hughes condemnation was ex-
pressed IN an appeal addressed to
Speaker Sweet, while the central
union voiced lis denunciation by the
unanimous vote of 300 delegates at
It's regular weekly meeting. In his
letter Mr.. Hughes declared that ac-
ton of the assembly was absolutely
opposed to the fundamental principles
of our government" He continued !:
IF there was anything against these
men as individuals. II they were deem
ed to be guilty Of criminal offenses,
they should have been charged accord

suggested Berlin. But if they had contained the promise there would be basis for sthe tention that the United States broke faith. The President announced the fourteen points that would be acceptable to the United States a basis for peace January 8, 1918. The armistice not signed until November II, 1918-more than ten months afterward. In the meantime relentless war waged, and nearly 100, ,000 Americans and more of the of our Allies killed Germany did not accept the terms suggested in the ''fourteen points," Instead, shortly after their enunciation she launched series of terrific drives at the Allies
 including the American army. She did not sue for peace until her armies beaten, and devas- tation such as she had inflicted upon Belgium and France threatened her own country through an invasion that was near hand.
 The fact is the United States and President Will son entitled to the undying gratitude of Germans for permitting the armistice be signed before conquering army could march Germany, de- sroying cities, industrial centers and farming The first pronounced feeling against President Will son, at home aboard, after his inauguration was that which resulted from his attitude in favor of any of peace with Germany before the physical occupation of Germany by Allied armies There was settled conviction the part of large portion of the inhabitants the Allied nations, if not, indeed a majority of them that the armies of in triumph Germany and Austria, destroying German armies had destroyed wherever they had triumphed before the acceptance of peace.
 If Berlin would get her history straight there would be less whining there.
