WAR SHOULD NOT END UNTIL AUTOCRACY OF GERMANY IS CRUSHED President Wilson Declares This is Issue the American People Should Keep in Mind NEW ORGANIZATION FORMED i League for National Unity Plans to Educate the Nation in Unity of Thought DECLARES CAUSE IS JUST Agitation for Premature Peace is Seditious." Washington, Oct. 8. An exten sive movement to lead and'express public opinion on the war was in augurated here today by forma tion of the League for National Unity, representing church, po litical, labor, agricultural and in dustrial organizations, to which President Wilson gave his endorse ment in an address emphasizing the need for team play by the forc es of American thought and opin ion. "' President Speaks Briefly. Welcoming the leaders of the move ment at the White House in a brief speech, the President expressed the belief that American', public opinion, although understanding the war's caus es and principles, needs guidance to remember that the war should end only when Germany is beaten and Ger many's rule of autocracy and might I are superceded ty me meais .or ae- , mocracy. " ' . This is the issue which the American people snould always keep " in mind, the President said, in order to avoid being misled into byways of thoughts and of the resultant scattering of the force of public opinion. Talk of early peace before Germany is defeated is one of the evidences of misdirected thought, he suggested, and should not cloud the vision of, those who under stand that the United States is fighting now for the same ideals of democracy and freedom that have always actuated tho nation. The President gave warning that it should not be forgotten that German success would mean not only preven tion of the spread of democracy," but possibly the suppression of that al ready I existing. League Names Officers. The league, which will have head quarters in New York, chose as honora ry chairmen Cardinal Gibbons and Dr. Frank Mason North, president of the Federal Council of Churches.

WILL NOT RECEIVE GEM MINISTER Ecuador's Action Against Dr. Perl Construed as Equivalent to Break in Relations WASHINGTON IS NOTIFIED Ecnadorean Minister Receives Report From Hi Government Without . Comment fWiU Be Presented to Lansing Today. Washington, Oct. 8. Without com ment or explanation the Ecuadorean foreign minister notified Minister Eli valde today that his government had instructed its minister in Peru to ad vise the German minister there that he could not be formally received at the Ecuadorean . capital. Minister Eli valde will advise Secretary Lansing of the government's action tomorrow. Tonight government officials and diplomatists construe the action of Ecuador as equivalent to a rupture with Germany. Dr.- Pearl was appointed to both Pe ru and Ecuador and after the declara tion of war by the United States he mailed his credentials to Quito. The Eeuadorean government refused to rec ognize such informal action and then the minister tried to secure acknowl edgment of his status by sending an agent to Quito to act as charge d'affaires. The agent was not recog nized. - Diplomats here were convinped to day, however, " that . Ecuador's refusal to receive, the minister now thatheTa willing to go to Quito, was not due to pique but was carefully calculated as an indication of the country's in tention to , 3oin the majority of South American nations already aligned. Argentina and Chile on the south and Venezuela and Columbia on the north are the only nations of South America whose positions are not clear ly defined. With the exception of Co lumbia all four have declared their neutrality, but the apparent promi nence of Germans in Venezuela and the factional controversy in Argentina have made the future conduct of those governments problematical. Prom Co lombia nothing more than neutrality has been expected because of her re sentment against the United States on account of the controversy over the building of the Panama canal. CALL.

BATTLEFIELD TURNED INTO ONE IMMENSE MUDPUDDLE Shell Craters Become Pools of Water Capable of Drowning a Score of Men British Soldiers Are Drenched to the Skin by the Biting Cold Rain, But Remain Cheerful. British Front in France and Bel glum, Oct. 8. (By Associated Press.) It rained hard yesterday, giving an unforgettable demonstration of the nature of the difficulties which the British troops etioountered in many of their recent operations. Within a few houf-a the entire country had been turned into a mass gl deep, clinging mud, through which one made his way with the greatest effort. A stream known as "Honnebeke which is one of the little waterways that cover not only this section but most of the bat tle zone, was surrounded by a. veri table morass. It would be impossible to cross it at many places. Shell holes had rapidly filled with water and ponds were to be seen in which a score of men might easily drown. Often a small pool of water covered -a considerable shell hole. A wounded man was being brought back from Broodseinde ridge. It took four sturdy stretcher bearers to carry him and they were floundering' miser ably, at every step. It must have tak en them .several hours to negotiate their journey. Yesterday's rain has turned the tat tle front into a quagmire which it will take many days to dry out. This does not mean that military operations could not be undertaken on either side, but there could scarcely- be more try ing " conditions for fighting. The sol diers rencountered by the correspond ent were cheerful; notwithstanding the &ct,J&at. they.' were drenched iothe- WlXISIIKGTOlSr, AMERICAN PATH , SHIP FIRES m Submarine Failed to Answer Rec ognition Signals While Ply ing the War Zone TWO OP THE CREW KILLED Secretary Daniels Expresses Navy Department's Regrets to Italian Government Washington, Oct. 8.

"Vice-Admiral Sims is thoroughly investigating the unfortunate occur rence and reports will be forwarded later to the department. "The Secretary of the Navy on re ceipt of the first ' news sent the fol lowing message to the Italian minis ter o,f marine: "'I have learned with deepest re gret of the occurrence which resulted ih an "American patrol vessel firing, through a misunderstanding, upon an Italian submarine, causing the death of one officer and one enlisted man on the latter. "'As our patrol vessels are in Euro pean waters primarily for the purpose of co-operating x with the Italian and other allied vessels in our common cause, the unfortunate occurrence is all the more ' regrettable. Due to the recent unusual activity of enemy sub marines in this region which has re sulted in the loss of several vessels, the patrol had been strictly maintain ed and the unfortunate fact that the patrol vessel did not obey the recog nition signals resulted in opening fire. Please accept on my own behalf and on behalf of the American navy heart felt sympathy for the loss of life which was resulted. " 'JOSEPHUS DANIELS. " Hold Impressive Ceremonies.

At one place a number of men were sit ting in the shelter of a muddy bank for a resting spell. They were wet and by all rights should have been unhappy, but they were singing lusti ly away at some popular song. Other bodies of men of similar dis position were seen. All seemed im mensely amused at the muddy condi tion of the correspondent and the two officers with him. Often the soldiers looked up with cheerful grins that said plainly: "How do you like it? Now you know what we chaps have to go through out here." ' FEW SPECIFIC COMPLAINTS OF COAL SHORTAGE RECEIVED Washington, Oct. 8.

"The Fuel -Administration,"-said Dr. Garfield, "has received telegrams say ing the coal situation is acute, but these do not give details which may be investigated and remedied.

RESERVES DECISION IN CONTEMPT CASE OCTOBER 9, 1917 SS MEN OF THE COUNTRY PAID THOTEJY BAKER Declares Their Ready Response to Government's Needs is Mak ing Stronger Nation 1,300,000 MEN UNDER ARMS Secretary Says America Has Even Outdone Germany in Mil itary Organization Harrisburg, Pa., Oct. 8. Secretary of War Baker, addressing the ' annual meeting of the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce, tonight declared that the manner in which the business men of the country had gathered was "mak ing a stronger nation, a greater de mocracy and a greater hope for man kind." The Secretary said that he wanted the business men to know that he was proud to pay the tribute and that as a result the nation would become a wonderful world factor for peace after the war. The National Guard and the military resources of the states, he said, had formed with the regular army and West Point a nucleus of a fighting force that will before long number over 1,300,000 men. Reviewing the or ganization of the National Army, Mr. Baker said that it had been done by a nation totally unaccustomed to war but which had not only subjected it Aelf to a selective draft but had divert ed its industries into many unacus tomed production. "Even Germany was never able to do this," he declared. "Let rtie say to you that when our army takees it place abroad it will be armed as well as any and better than most," declared Mr. Baker. He said that for every soldier abroad now there were five rifles in France and every regular and National Guardsmanr at home has a rifle, while the stream, of rifles, now 100,000 a month, will soon be 200,000." The young men in the army, said Mr. Baker, will be surrounded by safer conditions than ever known before. "We are making a wonderful army. We are making it by American pro cesses. We are going to have a very, very low sick rate," sgJd he. The Secretary said there had been no Aladdin's lamp or fairy wand about the building up of the equipment and ord nance supplies and the launching of a great shipbuilding program or the start on the Immense aeroplane con struction. What has been done has been accomplished through hard work and the mobilization of American in ventive and business genius. The speaker declared there was no doubt that America was next on the German program and said "we must win this war or admit democracy a failure." In making a plea for oo-ordination of financial resourcees such as there has been of business Mr. Baker said the country muat buy of Liberty bonds "until it hurts." Jap Mission ' Still Here.
