mm'Ii today before thr Ameri

".Mr. Pronldont, Delegates of
Uie American Federation of ta
bor. Ladles and Gentlemen:
"I consider It grrnt pleasure
and a real honor to be admitted
lo your public council. When
yotir e-xecutlvo committee paid
mo the compliment of Inviting
me here I gludly accepted the In-
vltatlon because It seems to me
that till, above all other time
In our history, la the time for
common counsel, for the draw

of the minds of the notion to

welcome opportunity for disclos
ing to you some of the thoughts
that huve been gathering In my
mind during the last momen
toim month!.
"I am Indebted to you sh tlie
President of the United Stales,
and yet I would be pIcaNcd If
you would put the thought of the
onice Into the background and
regard me as one of your fellow
citizen who litis come here to

ty, hut the word of council, Uie
word men should speak to one
another who wish to he trunk In
a moment more critical perhaps
than the history of the world has
ever yet known. A moment
when It Is every mini's duty to
forget himself, to forget his own
Interests, to 1111 himself with the
nobility of a greut nntionul and
world conception, and act upon a
new platform elevated above the
ordinary affair of life, elevated
to where men have views of the
long destiny of mankind.
"I think tliut In order to rea
lize just what this moment of
counsel Is It Is very dcwirnhle
that we should remind ourselves
Just how this war cjune about
anil just what it Is for. You can
explain most wars very simply,
but the explanation of this is nut
so simple. Its roots run deep
into all tlio obscure soils of his
tory, and in my view tills Is the
last decisive issue between old
principles of power and the new
principles of freedom.
"The war was started by Ger
many. Her authorities deny thul

Urgent Appeal For General Com

On Tuesday morning a new sound,
the bugle call to fredom and service,
will be heard from the tower of the
courthouse. At intervals during the
day, and each following day until the
Young Men's Christian Association
campaign is concluded, a bugler of
the United States army will 'sound
the bugle call of the day.
Listen to him. watch him, think of
what his bugling means.
It stands for American manhood,
America's fighting spirit, for united
national honor.
It stands for a mother's tears,
a wife's prayers. It means that over
there in France our American young
men are striving, hoping. longing,
fighting. It ia that bugle call which

being marooned ou Mopeha Uland by
the master of the Seeadlor when the
raider grounded and was abandoned.
The Soeadler, formerly the Ameri

to the liostcn Lumber Co. and was in
the Nova Scotia trade before the war.
After the was broke out she was put
under tho Anioric-aiiHag and was cap

On the way, she was captured by a
German submarine und seut to Brem

The ruse worked so well that after

the Seeadler was held up by the lirlt

cation books issued by the Norwegian
government were furnished the men,

with pictures of Norwegian kings and

reads:
"The energetic collaboration nf

Retirement of that part of the Ital

The Allies are represented on the

Amsterdam, Nov. 12. At a meeting
of the new father land party In Mtinlab
yesterday Admiral von TIrpltz, former
German minister of marines, made a
violent annexationist speech. He said
the question of whether Germany or
Great Britain became the protector of
Belgium would be tho decisive issue
ot the war.
"A mistaken question of the Belgian
polutlon would stunt our exports and
the reserve capital of our Industry, and
degrade us lo being the bond slave of
Aiigio-Americsntsm," said the admiral.
"Our military security lies In Belgium.
It Is tho tally way of ol tulning cornpen
saUon for oir enormous economic los

mistake to believe the submarine
would prove sufficient protection
against Great Brital.i., as some effect

discovered. He declared Germany
must have Antwerp, that Austria muBt
become the principal protecting power
or the mouth ot the Danube, and that
