With the ending of the armistice
between the French in Cilicia and
Mustapha Renal Pasha, leader of the
Turk Nationalist, came the announce
ment of q conference between Mar
shall Foch of France and Sir Henry
Wilson, British chief of staff, at which
1t was decided to wage a strong cam
paign against the Turks, Neither
France nor England being willing to
send more soldiers, it is reported that
Greece will furnish the troops and
the two allied countries most Of the
officers. AS a reward Greece is to
have Smyrna. The Turkish situation
is regarded as a serious one. The
peace treaty practically abolished the
Turkish empire, parceling the rich
est portions among the allies and con-
f1ning the Turks to small district in
Asia Minor without a port, which
leaves them ringed by Greeks, Armeni-
ans and other hostile nationalities. A
realization that this would occur was
responsible for the revolt under KEN
al. The total French casualties dur
ing the temporary occupation Of
Cilicia were 5000 men, including Ar
menian troops, and 1914 officers. AL
ready the British have suffered heav-
lily from Turk attacks, although their
casualties have not been announced.
Troops are on the way to meet Kemal's
forces, which are said to have ad-
vanced beyond Ismid in the direc-
ton Of Constantinople. Last week
British ships were reported lombard
ing the approaches to Ismid.
American Red Cross units are en-
gagged in handling refugee work for
southern Russia from Constantinople
and general relief work in Poland, the
Baltic states, Montenegro, Albania,
Serbia, Czecho-Slovakia, Greece and
Italy, but activities of the United
States in foreign countries are rapid
~ being curtailed. Outside of Ger
many, the only military mission of the
United States is that headed by Col
W. N. Haskell which was assigned by
President Wilson in November, 1919,
to assist the near East relief commit
tee in it's work in Asia Minor In Ger
many 30 United States officers are
serving on the inter-allied high COM
mission, being included among the III
officers who, with 1881 enlisted men,

The more conservative branch Of or
ganized wOrkmen, as represented in
the American Federation of Labor,
closed a two-weeks' annual convention
at Montreal, Canada, June 10. Sam
uel Gompers, the reelected president
of the organization, succeeded after a
stormy opposition from the friends
Of Ireland in securing an Endorsement
Of the League of Nations without res
ervations. The opposition was against
the covenant because Of the view that
1t guarantees the integrity of the Brit
ish empire,
Labor's program as formulated by
the convention demands follows:
Ratification Of the peace treaty.
Government ownership with demo-
cratic operation of the railroads.
! Curb on profiteering and high cost
Of living with Jail sentences for prof
iteers.
Right to strike and abolition Of COM
puls0ry arbitration and anti-strike leg
islation.
: Hands off in Mexico by the United
! States government.
Endorsement Of the Irish republic.
Right Of collective bargaining.
Advances in wages wherever neces-
sary to maintain the American stand
ard Of living.
Shorter workday if necessary to pre-
vent unemployment.
These recommendations will be-
launched against the Democratic con-
vention at San Francisco, with q
strong effort by President Gompers
and other leaders to secure their In
corporation in the platform. The ex-
ecutive council Of the federation also
was instructed to consider a plan for
procuring control Of number Of daily
newspapers to represent the cause Of
labor.

WILSON'S APPEAL FOR LEAGUE

sf Washington, Oct. 2s.-President Ewilson's address to the pro-League Republicans yesterday was as fol- lows:
 s1 My fellow Countrymen: It is to be sfeared that the supreme issue pre- Rented for your consideration in the tpresent campaign is growing more 4bscure rather than clearer 4, by req tto Edfscussion of it has taken The edit ors and publishers of the country would render great service if they would publish the full text of the fcovenant of the League of Nations, bkcause. having read that text, you would be able to judge for your teelves a great many things in which you are now in danger of being mis- lied. I hope sincerely that it will be livery widely and generally published entire. It is with a desire to reclarify fthe issue and to assist your judg- iment that I take the liberty of stat ling again the case submitted to you in as simple terms as possible. -3aThree years ago it was my duty to summon you to the concert of war, to join the free nations of the world in meeting and ending the most sin lister peril that had ever been devel oped in the irresponsible politics of call really settled the fortunes of war. You will remember that the morale of the German people broke down Hong before the strength of the Ger tIrldn dTHlleS was DTOkeH- IIidt Obviously because they felt that a tgreat moral force, which they could mot look in the face, had come into lthe contest, and that thenceforth all their professions of rights were dis Icredited and they were unable to pretend that their continuation of Ithe war was not the support of a Government that had violated every principle of right and every consid- beration of humanity.
 A It is my privilege to summon you lnow to the concert of peace and the Icompletion of the great moral Iachievement on your part which the war represented, and in the presence lof which the world found a reassur- ance and recovery of force which it lcould have experienced in no other way.
 We entered the war, as you remem- bber, not merely to beat Germany, fbut to end the possibility of the re- newal of such iniquitous schemes as rGermany entertained. The war will Ehave been fought in vain and our Hmmense sacrifices thrown away un- Hess we complete the work we then Fbegan, and I ask you to consider that there is only one way to assure the world of peace: that is by making it 6o dangerous to break the peace that mo other nation will have the audacity
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-10-28

to attempt it.
 We should not be deceived into ended with the defeat of Germany, or that Germany is the only nation that entertained such schemes or was moved by sinister ambitions and long standing jealousies to attack the very structure of civilization. There are other nations, which are likely to be powerfully moved or are already moved by commercial Jealousy, by the desire to dominate and to have their own way in politics and in enter prise, and it is necessary to check them and to apprise them that the world will be united against them as it was against Germany if they att tempt any similar thing.
 The mothers and sisters and wives of the country know the sacrifice of war. They will feel that we have misled them and compelled them to make an entirely unnecessary sacrifice of their beloved ones if we do not make 1t certain as 1t can be made that no similar sacrifice will be de- manded of mothers and sisters and plain that 1t seems to me to constitute a primary demand upon the con- science of every one of us.
 It is inconceivab1e to most of us that any men should have been so false or so heartless as to declare that the women of the country would again have to suffer the into1erab1e burden and privation of war if the League of Nations were adopted.
 The League of Nations is the we'll considered effort of the whole group of nations who were opposed to Ger many to secure themselves and the rest of mankind against the repeti- ton of the war. It will have back of 1t the watchfulness and material force of all these nations and is such guarantee of a peaceful future as no we'll informed man can question who does not doubt the whole spirit with which the war was conducted against Germany.
 The great moral influence of the United States will be absolutely thrown away if we do not complete the task which our soldiers and sail ors so heroically undertook to exc cute.
 One thing ought to be said, and said very clearly, about Article x. of the Covenant of the League of Nations. It is the specific pledge of the mem bers of the League that they will
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-10-28

unite to resist exactly the things which Germany attempted, no matter who attempts them in the future It is as exact definition as could be given in general terms of the outrage which Germany would have commit ted if it could.
 Germany violated the territorial in tegrity of her neighhOrS and douted their political independence in order to aggrandize herself and almost every war of history has originated in such designs. It is significant that the nations of the world should have at last combined to define the general cause of war and to exercise such concert as may be necessary to pre- vent such methods.
 Article x., therefore, is the specific redemption of the pledge which the free Governments of the world gave to their people when they entered the war. They promised their people not only that Germany would be pre- vented from carrying out her plot, but that the world would be safe guarded in the future from similar designs.
 We have now to choose whether we joined issue, and the issue is between the spirit and purpose of the United States and the spirit and purpose of imperialism, no matter where it ism is absolutely opposed to free government, to the safe life of free nations, to the development of peace full industry, and to the completion of the righteous processes of civiliza- ton. It seems to me. and think it will seem to you, that it is our duty to show the fndomitable will and ir- resistible majesty of the high pur- pose of the United States, so that the part we played in the war as soldiers and sailors may be crowned with the achievement of lasting peace.
 No one who opposes the ratifica- tion of the treaty of Versailles and the adoption of the covenant of the Lea que of Nations has proposed any other adequate means of bringing about settled peace. There is no other available or possible means and this means is ready to hand They have, on the contrary, tried to persuade you that the very pledge contained in Article X., which is the essential pledge of the whole plan of security, is itself a threat of war. It IS, on the contrary, assurance of the concert of all the free peoples of the world in the future, as in the re- cent past, to see justice done and hu- manlty protected and vindicated. This is the true, the real American | ism. This is the, role of leadership and championship of the right which the leaders of the Republic intended that it should play. The so-called

 to make more solemn determina- ton than 1t must now make. The whole future, moral force of right in the world depends upon the United States rather than upon any other na- tion, and it would be pitiful, indeed: if. after so many great free peoples

 I suggest that the candidacy of every candidte for whatever office be tested by this question: Shall we. or shall we not, redeem the great moral obligations of the United States?

As the Importance Of providing a
future supply of timber begins to be
appreciated, it is interesting to note
that e. J. Laschinger, past president Of
the South African Institution of En-
gineers. points to South Africa as one
of the worlds best fields for timber
growing. The work must be done on
large scale by the government, as
individuals cannot wait for the re-
turns. and his observation has been
that the various kIndsof pine are the
trees most suitable. The variable
winds exert such a twisting upon
growing trees that straight-gralned
timber of certain kinds is difficult to
obtain. Pine seems to Withstand the
comforting influence more effectively
than other kinds, and very fine.
