FRENCH LABOR ASKS
U.S.. TO HALT FIGHTING

PARIS. Aug. 16.-The French
Laborites have made direct
appeal to American labor to join
with them in preventing war
against Soviet Russia.
The manifesto, which has lust
been issued, reads:
The fate of Russia today Is
in. the hands of the American
workers. BY a dignified exhibi-
tion of their strength they can
prevent America from endorsing
the suicidal policy of France. II
is for American workers to de-
eide whether the recognition OF
General wrangel, at which
President Wilson connived, shall
lead into allied military inter
vention in Russia which the
French militarists urge.
"The recognition by France
was n direct challenge flung by
the plutocrats and money kings
OF the world to the millions OF
workers, who, after five years OF
ighting, refuse again TO shed
blood unnecessarily.
"The policy OF France, backed
up by America, spells starvation
and death to 100000, 900 Russians
whose only sin Is their struggle
for liberty, just as America
struggled for liberty In 1T78.
Remembering the Washington
Of today, American labor should
signify its refusal to interfere
against the right OF the Rus.
sian people for freedom and
self-government"

May OCCUPY HOUSE
JUST BOUGHT BY
CRAYSON

AS time approaches for President
Wilson to relinquish his tenancy OF
the White House, Washington Is
keenly interested in reports that the
President and Mrs. Wilson intend
maintaining a permanent residence
in the National Capital.
Rumors that the President Will
occupy the old Nourse mansion, re-
Gently purchased by Admiral Cary
T. Grayson, his personal physician
and intimate friend. have been al
lowed to circulate without denial
from the White House.
Admiral Grayson's residence, op-
posite "Friendship," in Wisconsin
avenue, near Porter street, is one OF
the prize estates just outside OF
Washington. 1t is ideally located
in a beautiful tract of twenty-five
acres well dotted with shade trees
1t is the Presidents intention, so
the rumors go, to occupy the man
sion Immediately after March 4,
until next summer. Extensive al
terations are to be made in the
house to modernize 1t.
President Wilson spent so many
years at Princeton University be-
fore he entesed political life that
he has no regular residence. Now
that he is going to leave the house
he has been occupying for the last
eight years. II Is just as probable
that he will spend az much of his
time here as anywhere else.
Admiral Grayson bought the old
Nourse residence several months
ago and never has occupied IL. Re-
ports say that he acted as Presi-
dent Wilson's agent in the pur-
chase.

Mr.. Walker has never taken a va
