WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.1 "Tho de
partment of stato has no views on the
subjec t of the porposed food embar
go," Secretary Lansing said today
"That is purely a domestic (;ucstton.'
Tho department, ho Raid, ha
neither urged, proposed nor discussed
any such embargo as he does not
think it concerns international rela
tions in any way.
S'ich action, It is said, could hardly
be objected to by any foreign govcrn-
l.ient in view of tho fact that thel
linvo taken such action, whore neces
sary for public safety.
No similarity could be drawn, It
itiib said, between the proposed cm-
farge ami the shipment of munitions
ACrOUDING to the Now York World, J. l Morgan is
the man behind the secretly organized National In
dustrial Conference hoard, which, with a liH'inl.crship of
13,000 captains of industry, having 8,(XJ0,(KXU)00 capital,
employing 6,000,000 workers, has begun a vast organized
warfare on the eight-hour day and minimum wage pro
posals.
Mi: Morgan is chief owner of the General hlectne com
pany, one of the largest employers of labor, and when that
concern beat its employes in their eight-hour-day strike,
began the organization ot a co-operative body composed
of representatives of national industrial associations, for
co-operative action to prevent the spread of the eight-
Hour day propaganda throughout the country. Air. Aloi
gan and his associates also control 200,000 miles of rail
roads, whose organized employes are demanding the eight-
hour day.
The various affiliated organizations, such as the Na
tional Association of Manufacturers, the Founders' asso
ciation, the Metal Trades, etc., have all adopted resolu
tions against the eight-hour day for trainmen, enlisted the
support ot the National Chamber of Commerce, and are
actively organizing shippers and industrial corporations
lor united opposition to the Aclanison law.
United class action by the employers is reacting upon
tlie employes. All branches 01 labor are uniting in sen
defense. The American Federation of Labor' is negotiat
ing consolidation with the trainmen brotherhoods, and the
result promises a nation-wide struggle between capital and
labor.
"Whether or not the eight-hour law is practical or work
able for railroads is not at all the ftuestion at issue. Mor
gan and "Wall street merely use that as an excuse. They
are unwilling to try it out. It is the eight-hour principle
that they object to, not only for railroads, but for all industry.
Air. Morgan's viewpoint is well known. lie is without
vision for human welfare. To him the toiler is simply a
soulless unit to be exploited for profit. It matters not
that the eight-hour day lias proven profitable in many in
dustries: that it improves the character of the workman,
means race conservation, and hence is the highest type of
national preparedness. Morgan has as little sympathy
with his fellow man as his prototype, the feudal baron of
old, had lor his serfs.
To avert a class struggle is one of the many problems
oodrow W ilson laces, and he will have need ot all the
courage and statesmanship he possesses to keep the nation
at peace internally as well as externally.
JACK LONDON
jy Y the untimely death of Jack London, at the earlv age
of 41, America has lost her most forceful and vigor
ous, and probably her sfreatest. author ot the dav.
.- Daring and original, master of action and of language,
past perlorniance gave greatest promise lor his iuture,
lie' early attained remarkable success, but his literary
achievements were regarded by himself and the public as
training lor greater eltorts m the Iuture.
A child of poverty and of struggle, his native ability
raised him above environment. He created his own oppor
tunity, but his early hardships awakened his sympathy
tor toiling humanity., and a large share ot Ins eltorts were
directed towards combatting industrial and economic ills.
As a novelist, Jack London outranked all living Ameri
cans yet he had only begun. His loss is the world's loss.

The Drift of Science
n- DIt. J. l.AWHENCK 11ILU
This is the ecnlniy of intciToga
tion. Toilat-, as never before, men
ipicslion, doubt and deny what pre
ceding nges considered final both in
religion and science, ltolh have
taught us llial iu llie reiilm of tlioughl
reason alone is authoritative, and
that only when we follow her lead
ings shall we know 1 r .it Ii in all its
applications, and become rooted and
grounded iu failli.
After centuries of misunderstanding-
and bitter opposition both science
and religion have become more sym
pathetic and tolerant towards each
other. Today science is more relig
ious anil religion is more scientific.
Today tlicy recognize llial they arc
complements of each other, and that
their aim is the same. Science deals
with (iod outside of matter, religion
with God imminent in nature, and revealing-
Himself not only in nature,
but in human consciousness and ex
perience. During recent years there has been
a complete ovcrtiirniui; of ninny of
those underlying principles of nat
ural science which have heretofore
been considered as firmly establish
ed. Scientific discoveries have fol
lowed each other in quick succession,
notably the lioentgen rays in WX
mid the llccipierel rays iu the follow
ing year. Then came the discovery
of radium in 1S!H. Since then other
very important discoveries or specu
lations have followed along the line
of atomic disintegration, the tiaus
lormatiou of matter, the thermal effects-
of radio. actitity and intra-atomic
energy.
l-'ai-ailav produced the theory of the
lines of foi-i-e, hut the mathematicians
immediately attacked it. Laplace
and l'oison have "befuddled" ns lit
their objections to the undulating
theory ot light propounded by Young
and Frencl. Ampere dctelopeil a
theory ,if magnet win, lint l'oi-son
and Wcbci- were not behind him in
theories of liicir own on this subject.
Professor Maxwell wrote a treatise
on electricity, which, according to
Professor Foley of Indiana univer
sity, "few- could read and no one
could fully understand,'' because of
the fact that his ideas of electric dis
placements and displacement cur
rents were bound up in equations
which were without experimental
verification gave only I he vaguest no
tion of the subject.
Science has been accustomed to re
gard matter and energy as tlie two
great entitles with which it has to
deal, hut more recent and careful re
search into nature of tlie atoms of
which matter is held to lie composed
has given rise to the theory that mat
ter in its last nnalysis may be found
to lie only ether in motion, or some
thing which can he resolved into
electricity and then into some unim
agined mode of motion of ether, and
that finally it will he found that at
oms have had their day and cease lo
be. The earlier conceptions of mat
ter as nn eternal and indestructible
entity have been rudely .shattered.
Matter, ns we have already seen,
has been reduced lo electric change,
and wc can now take our choice of n
great many different theories pro
pounded by science lo explain its na-

ture. It is claimed by recent writ
ers that there are strong reasons for
believing- not only in the electric na- j
ture of matter, hut in the molecular j
structure of electricity itself, lo suvj
nothing of the dciH'iidenie of mns
noon electricity and the theories of
the radio-activity and di-intcgration j
of matter. Then there is the one-
fluid theory, the twu-fluitl I henry and
the putcnlinl theory, and the nine-!
tccntli century school ot plenum, one i
ether for light, heat and electricity j
and magnetism. For a fuller discus- '
siyn of this subject, I refer you ioj
an article by Professor Arthur Foley, j
Indiana university, in a recent mini-1
her of The Popular Science Monthly j
on "Itccent Developments in Physical ;
Science.
Knrlier conceptions and theories of
the indestructibility of matter are
giving' way to the conviction that its
destruction and creation by man are
within the range of .scientific possi
bility. Change iu physical phenomena are
ilue to force of energy or vibration,
and lire thus reduced to idealistic
forces which nre beyond the cogniz
ance of the senses. They cannot he
seen or measured. They are only
known by certain effects commonly
attributed to theui.

PRESIDENT SUFFERING
FROM COLD IN HEAD
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2:1. Presi
dent Wilson, who has been suffering
from a slight cold iu the head for
several days, started out to play golf
this morning, but returned to the
white house because of rain. He re
mained iu his room the remainder of
the morning and saw no callers.
SAN KR.V.VCmCO, Nov. 23. So
spontaneous has- been tho response
to the appeal of the California branch
of the American neutral conference
committee for world peace, launched
in California today, that a slogan or
a "million Dames" will undoubtedly
be adopted, according to the publicity
department of the committee hero.
The oriijiual 3U0.0U0 signatures to
petitions which were counted upon
can easily bo outdistanced, it Is be
lieved and it is thought possible, to I
have, Higned up over S'JO.UOO before j
Christmas.
The movement has been endorsed
by the head officers of practically
every fraternal order in the state, j
thus aligning a powerful influence, i
which promise to bo very active. I
Doth the luiversity of California and
Stanford university have promised
several thousand names and the
northern California Baptist associa
tion lias entered the movement. Spec
ial services are to be held in churches
throughout the stato on different oc
casions when tho petitions w ill be pre
sented for signature.
