Labor Convention Votes ApProval of Wilson-George rogram. NOTTINGHAM, Jan. 24. British labor stands squarely behind the war alms of the allies as announced by President Wilson and Premier Lloyd George. The representatives of 2,500.000 union men, in convention today, unanimously adopted a resolution supportIng the British and American statements and demanding that the people of Germany state their peace terms. "A just victory" was the keynote of the meeting. The speakers were a unit in declaring Germany must give up conquered territories before peace can be discussed. Peace Must Be Lasting Frank Purdy, the president, said that If Germany would not accept the terms President Wilson, Premier Lloyd George, and the labor party had laid down as the minimum, "we must fight on.' "Peace, when It comes, must be a general peace, a just peace, a lasting peace that will secure liberty and freedom for all nations, great and small; a peace based on the will of the people," Mr. Purdy said. "It must be a
peace in which labor, nationally and Internationally, must play Its part in order to secure full and fair consideration of its claims. "We appreciate the lofty ideals which induced the United States to join the allies." Germany Spurns Principles. President Purdy said tha in view of the declarations of President Wilson and Premier Lloyd George, Germany could . claim no longer that she was fighting a defensive war. "We see no signs yet," he added, "that Germany and her allies are willing to accept the principles enunciated by Mr. Lloyd George, Mr. Wilson, and the Labor party." "Will the German democracy define Its war alms?" Mr. Purdy asked. "Will the Germany democracy face Its government as we have faced ours? Will Germany agree to evacuate Belgium, northern France, and the other territories over which she holds sway?" There were cries of "Yes, and Ireland.: Must Stop Future Wars. " "If the German people and the German government," Mr. Purdy continued, "are sincere in their desire for
peace on me principles or ngmeous- rfraws therefrom all practical conclus

over the military, wields practically complete power over Russia. It is the task of the general staff to meet and put down all uprisings against the government and with revolution rife in the land this end of its activities is no small chore. A street brawl in a brief time reach
es the proportion of a pitched battle and life is cheap where the quickest method of interference by the military is deemed the most expedient. In the photo the majority of the staff members are shown to be army men. although some sailors and some civilians are members.
Austrian Peace Agitation is Disturbing to German Papers
LONDON, Jan. 24 The peace agitation in Austria-Hungary la receiving a great deal of attention In Germany. The Socialist newspaper Vorwaerts of Berlin emphatically declares the solidarity of the German proletariat with Austrian labor In the peace struggle and maintains that events in the dual monarchy must have a deep reaction in Germany. "We have been walking on the edge of a precipice in the last few days," it says, and goes on to demand that the German government resolutely take its place by the side of Its Austrian ally. "As the fruit of pan-German propaganda," it continues, "we are menaced not only with the wrecking of the peace negotiations with Russia, but also with complete political isolation. "This danger can be averted only if the German government declares itself in agreement with Foreign Minister Czernin's declaration (respecting adherence to the principles of no annexations and no indemnities) and
' A report from Amsterdam says that fourteen meetings having the charac
ter of peace demonstrations were held in Cologne on Monday, nonsocialists from the middle classes as well as the Socialists being represented largely. Chancellor von Hertling's promised speech in the Reichstag respecting German war aims is now expected on Thursday. Count Czernin also probably will speak in Vienna.
AGED HERMIT IS NO MORE
The hermit of Newman's hill is dead. He was James T. Hastings, 80 years old, a man whose parentage and family were unknown in Richmond.. For thirty-five years Hasting had been living entirely alone in his little house on Newman's hill. It is thought from what he said that he came from Massachusetts but he was always reticent about talking of himself and his family. He claimed he never was married. After he first came to Richmond, he worked as a machinist at the Gaar-Scott company, but for the last twenty-five years he has done nothing at all apparently living on what money he had. The hermit's house was located on Newman's Hill, which is on the east bank of the Whitewater river and west from the old Gaar-Scott plant.

wars. At present the military party in
Germany is in the ascendancy." Peace by negotiation while Germany held the territories she had conquered, the speaker, declared, would fasten militarism more strongly on the people of Germany, the British empire and the whole, world. The action of the United States in Joining the allies was appreciated, he said, because the unity of the English speaking people of the world over had been demonstrated therby. Welcome to Free Russia. .Whatever might be the view of the labor representatives as to the effect the Russian revolution had exerted on the course of the war, the president said, they welcomed it heartily because it had released the Russian people from thraldom. He continued: "If our responsible government and its allies had endeavored to appreciate the real meaning of the revolution they would not have been 60 lukewarm toward the great event." The government had sent Arthur Henderson, then a member of the cabinet to Petrograd, Mr. Purdy con
tinued, but had declined to accept his advice, and even today there was no great euxiety on the part of the British government to recognize those who were representing the Russian
people.

and inactivity on the part of the war
department. Reasd Wilson Letter.
Senator Chamberlain read to the
senate a letter received from Presi
dent Wilson opposing the creation of a
minister of munitions. He said he did this to counter-act the President's charge that he had not been consulted regarding proposed legislation to be
offered in congress.
Referring to the sanitary conditions at training camps Senator Chamber
lain said: "I am going to show that these hun
dreds and thousands of men dying in
the cantonments are due to the war
department." He referred to the
warnings given by Major General Gre
ble. commander at Camp Bowie, Tex.,
last summer against over-crowding
men in tents. "Packed Like Sardines."
"Men at Camp Bowie," the senator
ieclared were "packed together like
pardlnes" and despite frequent warn
ings disastrous epidemics broke out in December, with 8,000 men passing Ihrough the hospitals. "Men died," he asserted, "without proper nursing because of the inefficiency of the system. All the cantonments are arteries of information and f hope to God that every man will write his father or mother and tell them just what the conditions are, not to stay patriotism, but to stimulate those, in authority to do their duty." General Gorgas' report, he continued, ihowed overcrowding in virtually every camp and he asserted that the lurgeon-general, of eminent reputation had not been consulted regarding can
tonment locations. Senator Chamberlain read a letter showing that camp luthorities failed to notify the family it the death of a soldier and that the body came home wrapped only in a heet. "If I were to print all the letters I pet along this line," he continued, 'they would shock not only congress kut the American conscience. I do it nly to show the country that there is inefficiency, if it costs me my political life. Let the Americans mother know londitions and they will see to it that,
Among newspapers of a different , complexion there are indications of j considerable irritation toward Austria, I which in some cases is expressed frankly. The Taglicbe Rundschau of! Berlin declares that owing to support I from the Austrian government, dem- j ocratic internationalism has come to ; the surface, stirring up strike after j strike and preparing for democratic i peace of the sort Trotzky stands for. j
in Germany through the action of the
German Social Democracy. The Frankfurter Zeitung expresses much concern at the peace agitation in
Austria, remarking that Germany can '
not be asked to agree to an unconditional peace after such a war as this, nor can Austria. Complains of Czernin It complains that the Austrian government might do more than it is do
ing to make it clear that it is not in j
the special interests of Germany that the two nations are standing together in the peace negotiations. The Zei
tung conjectures that the strikes in I
Austria are attributable to Count Czernin's "stage management." Other German newspapers express strong dissatisfaction at the attitude of Count Czernin.

the public servants either do their duty or retire from public life in disgrace." Speaking about orders he declared: "If we relied upon the ordnance department in this emergency (and this is a war of artillery) the war would be completed before we ever got enough men to the front." He charged the ordnance bureau failed in 1916 to prepare for war when it seemed certain. "I'm not blaming anyone in particular," the senator continued. "I have high regard for General Crozier. But we haven't been able to do what England. France and all our other allies have done and that is to retire these gentlemen who have not proven themselves up to themark. We ought not to dismiss them in disgrace, but in other countries they have gone into innocuous desuetude. "This isn't a question of personality.
This is not a question between the
president and myself. It is a ques-'
tion of America and every man ought to make it his whole purpose to see
that America is saved. He denounced the cry that investigation gives infor
mation to the enemy.
"Germany knows more about Am
erica today than the men connected
with the department," Senator Chamberlain declared. "If the government would be frank with the people then we could rely upon the people
to rally to the support of the president and the prosecution of the war."
Senator Chamberlain said he pro
posed to show by Secretary Baker's own testimony that the secretary did not know of actual clothing conditions.
"That's what I say," he continued,
"that the president didn't know the
truth and I did. He must have got-i
ten his facte from the secretary, who in turn got his from somebody else, and somebody must have lied. And that is why I say the president has not been given the truth.". . . After speaking nearly three hours, Senator Chamberlain concluded with a plea that he wos only doing his duty in arousing the country to its danger and that he would support the President although "grossly maligned." Senator Kirby, of Arkansas, a Democrat, took up a reply:
A DOLLAR SAVED is a dollar made Pay Cash, Carry and Save.
