LONDON, Nov. 12—The first stan
dardized merchant steamer built to the
order of the government to replace
those destroyed by German submar
ines has been completed and placed
in commission in less than seven
months from the date on which her
keel was laid. It is expected that
vessels similar to this first one will
be constructed in four and four and
one half months. Many hundreds of
others are being built and Sir Joseph
Mac Clay announced during the trial i
trip of the first standardized steamer
that every ship yard in the United!
Kingdom was full of such vessels in
the process of construction.
It is understood that six types of,
cargo steamers known as A, B. C, D. !
E. and F, are at present being con
structed of about 8,000 tons dead
weight, 7,000 tous, 5,000 tons and al-'
so 3,000 tons, and the construction or1
other types is being considered. Some ,
of the ships already built were espe
cially adapted for carrying any class |
of cargo.

BUFFALO, Nov. 12—Pres
ident Wilson made a personal
and eloquent appeal for the
full support of organized labor
for the governnmet in the con
duct. of the war, speaking be
fore the annual convention of
the American Federation of
Labor. He declared that the
war could not be won unless
all factions in a common cause
would unite in sinking their:
differences. The President'
paid a warm tribute to Samuel!
(rompers and virtually called*
upon the Federation to give!
hi mits united support. He
denounced the Pacificist cri
tics and appealed for co-oper
otion, and said the present
iime was more critical than
the world had ever known.
(Jompers introduced Prosi-j
dent \\ ilson and offered him as ;
spokesman for freedom, a man!
ot destiny and a leader of
thought a.od action among na
tions. Wilson declared flatly
that Germany started the war I
and said he was willing to a-j
wait history’s verdict on thnti
statement. He said the war j
was the last decisive issue be
tween old principles of power
and new principles of freedom.!
He said he believed the spirit;
of freedom can get into the!
hearts of Germans and find a
fine welcome there, but tin* j
spirit ot freedom doesn’t suit;
tin* pro-German’s plans; that
power cannot b-* used with
{concentrated force against a
free pimples if it is used by
free peoples.
Wilson referred to Ger-j
many’s map of Kurope. Hej
said that if she can keep her
power, she can disturb the'
world, declaring that Germany ;
now controlled Austria, Tur-j
key, the Balkans and Asia
Minor.
