LABOR'S DUTY TOLD 1‘ m id fn t Wilson Addresses American Federation o f Labor and Appeals for Unity In All War Work. Buffalo, N. Y . President Wilson in a forceful address here Monday before the American Federation o f Labor a|>- pealing to the working men o f the United States for co-operation in the conduct o f the war made it clear that he opposes peace until the war against Germany has been won. The President declared that his heart was with “ the feeling o f the pacifists,’ ’ but that " m y mind has a contempt for them.” “ I want peace but 1 know how to get it and they do not,” he declared. Colonel E. M. House head o f the American delegation to the allied war conference, the President said, had been sent to take part in a conference as to how the war was to be won, “ and he knows, as I know, that that is the way to get peace i f you want it for more than a few minutes.” The 450 delegates to the convention and the several thousand persons ad mitted to the hall to hear the Presi dent speak arose and applauded this declaration with a tremendous burst o f cheers. Another demonstration o f ap- roval came when he said: “ We must stand together, night and day, until this job is finished.” The President, while devoting his address to problems for the people of the United States, laid emphasis upon the broader phases o f the world's con flict in a way that seemed that his speech was possibly intended as a mes sage to the people o f Germany, o f Aus tria and o f Russia, as well as o f the United States. He declared his belief that were it not for the Pan-Germans the spirit o f freedom would find “ as fine a welcome in the hearts o f the Germans as it can find in any other heart.” The President directly asserted that Germany had started the war and said he would leave confirmation o f this statement to the verdict o f history. He referred to Germany’s growth to a “ place in the sun” and asked why she was not satisfied when she gained that position. VILLA FORCES TAKE II Federal Troops Retreat Across Border and Surrender.
