union for sympathetic, strike action.

HELENA. Mont. Sept. 11. In two ad
dresses in Montana today. President
Wilson asked that the peace treaty be
ratified without delay so that the spirit
of universal unrest spreading from Rus
sia may be quieted.
With the statement that he had been
told the west was permeated by "what
is called radicalism." the president de
clared the only way to keep men from
agitating against grievances was to
remove the grievances. As long as
"things are wrong," he said, he did not
Intend to ask that men stop agitating,
begging only that they use orderly
methods because otherwise the result
would be chaos.
He bade godspeed to the men who are
trying to correct wrongs, but added
that radicalism meant "cutting up by
the roots," a process that would be
rendered unnecessary if "noxious
growths" were removed. '
Police Strike Condemned.
Mr. Wilson also referred to contro
versies resulting from police strikes
in the east, and said the strike of the
policemen of a great city, "leaving that
city at the mercy of thugs, is a crime
against civilization."
The text of the president's reference
to the police follows:
"I want to say this, that a strike of
the policemen of a great city, leaving
that city at i.he mercy of an army of
thugs, is a crime against civilization
In my judgment the obligation of
policeman is as sacred and direct as the
obligation of a soldier. He is a public
servant, not a private employe, and the
whole honor and safety of the com
munity is in bis hands. He has no
right to prefer any private advantage
to the public safety. I hope that that
lesson will be burned in so that It will
never again be forgotten, because the
pride of America is, that It can exercise
self control."
Helena Theater Filled.
The president's first address was de
livered in Billings before noon and to
night he spoke, here to a crowd that
filled the Helena theater. Addresses are

Fight on Treaty Hailed as Dawn of
Xew Day, With Opinion ot
America Changed.
BY CYRIL BROWN.
(Copyright by the New York World. Pub
lished by Arrangement.)
BERLIN, Sept. 11. (Special Cable.)
"All humanity, Germany particularly,
is tensely awaiting the decision of the
Amerioan senate on the peace treaty,"
ex-Minister of State Von Scheller Stein-
wartz said today.' With many other
Germans he is beginning to entertain
real hope of a separate peace with
America.
. "Apparently, Senator Lodge Is the
soul of the opposition," he said. "The
senator is no German hater. He hates
all non-Americans equally, and he is
absolutely a just man of almost Quak
er-like moral strength. When he and
other important senators fight the
peace treaty their course means that
the treaty displeased them because in
the excessive enslavement of Germany
for which America would be forever
co-responsible, they see grave danger
of future complications.
"That course is thus to be hailed like
the morning red of a new dawn. There
is promise of a still better realization
of conditions in the prospect that Amer
ica in all seriousness may express the
wish for a separate peace with the
central powers.
"We Germans can only wish that the
action of the senate 'may reflect a
mighty change in opinion that has been
misguided and that the American peo
ple may come to favor the conclusion
of a separate peace. If that shall not
result all threat of revision of the
peace terms must die.
'At all events, the senate can educate
the public toward a league of nations
based on the strength and purity of the
original project for a league, such as
will be capable of inaugurating a new
and happy epoch in history."

TACOMA, Sept. 11. At 9:45 tonight,
aftera meeting last most of the day,
the news printers who have been on
strike for six- days returned to work,
going back on the old scale and under
the old conditions. A morning paper
will be published for the first time to
morrow since last Friday.
The printers demanded a wage scale
of J9.25 and $10. This the publishers
flatly refused to pay.
Work was resumed under the old
scale of $7 a. day.
The strike action, which was in vio
lation of the orders of the Interna
tional Typographical union, was fol
lowed by the dispatch of 40 printers
from Chicago to break the strike.

ure of the liquor are the culmination of
a number of drunken disturbances .in

TANAMA CITY. Republic de Panama,
Aug. 23. Sixty-four years old and
never on a sick bed in a hospital be
fore. Well, everything comes to us
once in this funny life and I am rather
glad it happened in an interesting and
spectacular way Instead of by reason
of some fever-infected mosquito stick
ing his bill into my humble carcass.
The worst of it is that a portion of
my affliction, which affects my left
ankle, may last for the remainder of
my existence. One doctor says it is
tropical rheumatism, another pro
nounced it neuritis, still another par
tial paralysis. But the fourth and
wisest guy said it was caused by a
dose of cocaine which was slipped into
cooling drink I took. At any rate
the old man will never bother anybody
at dances aain.
But here is how It happened and
while It reads something like a movia
scenario, it is every word true, let my
friends laugh as they may: One even
ing in Panama City, outside the canal
zone, 1 met a couple ot pleasant gen
tlemen (?) who offered to show mo
iome adjacent places of great interest
which would furnish splendid copy. Wa
got into an auto, after we had drunK
some orange crush, as It Is caned.
and the next tl'ing I knew I whs in
bed at a roadhou.se about 15 miles
fronj the city. The landlord, who
claimed to be a Hollander, but who
looked mightily like a Gorman to me,
said he found me at his door two niKhts
before and had put me to bed and U mo
everything he could for me.
liven Falae Teeth Hune.
I had a raging fever and my head
was as useless as a dIoh: of wood. I
examined my clothes and loui.d I had
been cleaned in a ma3ti;riy manner.
Even my false teeth hid lisappcared.
But some travelers checks remained,
because they could not be usad without
my signature.
1 managed to get to town and learned
that my good ship, the Mount Shasta.
had sailed for London, taking, as 1
supposed, all my baggage, clothes and
other effects, including the greater
part of my money, which I had judi
ciously left aboard. I was certainly in
some fix; sick, with a suit of dirty
white clothes, little money, no friends
nd marooned. Likewise I was vir-
ually "out of my head" and my ankle
was perfectly numb, but not painful.
I stayed that night and the next day
at a hotel and the roliowing nignt,
venturing out, met the skipper of the
Fort Seward, a shipping board vessel.
leaving for Southampton, Lngland, the
next morning at 5 o'clock. He said
e would beat the Mount Shasta in by
couple of weeks and I replied that
d like to go with him and be stand
ing on the dock in London when the
Shasta pulled in. The skipper was
ery nice, but he said it was impos-
ible to take anybody aboard without
permission of the shipping board. He
could not ship me in the crew, as there
j would be no officer around before he
sailed. He said he would be glad to
have me go through the canal to Cris
tobal, where he was to take coal, and
if I was found on board when the ves
sel got to sea it would be no fault of
his.
Great ('nance Appears.
A stowaway! Something I'd always
wanted to be! I caught the idea and
determined to piay the role, knowing
I'd get my effects when I met the
Mount Shasta in England.
I was on board at 5 o'clock the next
morning and we made the trip through
the canal In 12 hours. "Chips," the car
penter, and the steward had a hiding
place all fixed for me so I could get
out of Cristobal unobserved. The cap
tain, of course, did not know I was
aboard.
The trip through the canal would
have been- most interesting to a sana
and well man, but in my feverish con
dition it seemed the longest day I ever
spent. However, I remained on deck
and every detail of the canal is indeli
bly impressed upon my brain.
My leg grew steadijy worse .and so
did my fever, and when we tied up at
a coal barge at Cristobal I felt that I
had to see a doctor. The captain went
ashore in a launch and I found that
orders had been given that none of the
crew should go ashore. I climbed pain-
