PERSHLNG IN TILT
WITH SAM GOMPERS
Exceptions Taken to
Remarks of Labor
Chief by General
al Big Dinner

WASHINGTON, Sept. t.
General Pershing and Samuel
Gompers had a tilt last night
at a dinner given as the con-
clusion of the exercises here
celebrating Lafayette-Marne
day. At least official Washington re-
CARDS it as a clash over the question
OF whether labor won the war.
Mr. Gompers had spoken on the
after-dinner program and while he
made no claim hat labor won the
war. he did tell OF the record OF the
American Federation OF Labor dur
ing the war and declared that pre-
vious TO the entry of the United
States its sympathy was with the
cause OF the allies.
General Pershins. however. appar-
entity regarded Mr.. Gompcrs' remarks
as n claim that labor had won the
var Some OF those who head his
remarks quote him as having said
substantially:
The policies OF this republic are
not determined by labor unions or by
any other organizations; but by the
consensus OF opinion OF its patriotic
citizens OF whatever affiliations.
Il want to say that every Amer
lean patriot. whether he belongs to
some labor Organization or is just an
ordinary citizen and that II is not a
question OF lalor unions. it is not a
question of any organization. II is not
a question OF Whether VIC belong to
some association or aot.
at is a question OF whether we are
loyal citizens OF the United States. I
ara here TO say 10 you that the mem
bors OF tho labor unions were not the
oniJ ones who won tho war. It was
tho citizens who inherited their pa
triotism from their forefathcrs who
came across II. the M~aynower and
helped determine and decide the in.
dependence of America as well as
those who have adopted American in
stitutions as their own. II seems to
be about time for us 10 rise up and
| say that America shall be ruled snd
| governed by American citizens and
| not by organizations which have theiI
| own selfish purposes to serve"
The incident, however. did not de
velop into a debate n ended Will

PhOtOgraphing
Mars Branded
Wild Scheme

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Sept. T.
Plans of B. McAfee. an American
scientist now in london. and Prof.
David Todd for taking snapshots of
Mars by using a mine shaft in
Chile as the barrel of a special tele-
scope. arc 'impracticable and offer
no possibility of success" in the
opinion Of Prof. Scion l.. Bailey. di-
rector of the Harvard observatory.
1T is true that stars can be seen
in daylight from the bottom OF a
mine or the bottom OF a we'll, just
as we can see them through a teie-
scope even in a thunderstorm
Professor Bailey said. But the
idea Of using a mine shaft in con-
junction with a big dish Of mer-
curry to make Mars appear a mile
or two away is preposterous. I
have no faith in the idea. 1t is a
foolish. wild scheme"

agenda OF the assembly.
When today's session opened Au.
gustin Edwards, head OF the Chilean
delegation took the floor and declared
that the request OF Bolivia ought to be
rejected without debate. In an ardent.
eloquent speech, Senior Edwards dc
fined Chiie's position as uncompro-
missing on this question. He recalled
that the president of Bolivia had de-
ciared he would respect the treaty
Of 1903 between Chile and Bolivia, re-
vision of which Bolivia has asked the
assembly to TAX under consideration.
Tho Incompetence of the league to
revise the treaty Of 1904 was the prtn-
cipai argument OF emo Edwards
speech. He declared the covenant of
the league of nations provides for the
revis,on of inapplicabie treaties only.
Can anyone pretend hat this
treaty, under which we have lived in
peace for II ear is applicable" he
asked. Addressing himself directly to
Carlos Aramayo, head of the Bolivian
delegation. Senior Edwards cried:
Let me recall the many ties that
unite us. Let me say to you that
Chile wants them to hold and ! hope
you will not persist in an attitude that
risks the breaking of Them"
Senior Aramayo sat impassive and
did not betrny that the Chilean dele
gates words had made the slightest
impression on him.
Then Senior Aramayo presented Bo-
livia's viewpoint. He said the treaty
was, in the opinion OF the Bolivians.

war between Kwang-Tung and

Foremost OF southern m~ilitarists. made
