fore the representatives of the employ

thee principal lndiutH*d of the ceha-
try, declared that *he goveromeat
wished td have the assistance aud ad-
vice of trades union* as to the course
which j should be adopted to make
provision fbr the carrying out of the
pledges given by the government in
March, 1815. At that time the unions
were requested to relax during the
period of the war certain union prac-
tices and customs.
Provisions must be made, he said,
for conditions which are now arising
in connection with wages owng to
the fact' that with the change from
munitions work to private work tke
fate of wages which had been fixed
by awards and orders under the mu-
nitions of war net, could Cease to
have effect.
The government ,he declared, in-
tended that tho pledges given would
be carried out. It was the policy of
the government, with, he hopod, the
assent, of the employes and working
people’a associations, to provide tliat
during the immediate transition period
/the present level of wages, due to the
high cost of living, should be main-

London, Nov. 10.—Lieutenant-Gun-
oral Jut Christian Smuts last night
entertained a party of American #<U
tors on behalf of the government. Ad-
dressing the guests, be said the great-
est and most * fruitful fact of the
great war had been the coming To-
gether of Etfrepe and America.
“Old Europe is dead and a new
world is slowly emerging,” he said.
“It is for Iho good of both America
and Europe that the former henco-
forth take up her burden in .world
politics.
“America has become jointly re-
sponsible with Europe . for the new
order, which will arise from the ruins
of this war. America and Great
Britain are bound of the same great
principles and ideals. Their close co
operation Henceforth will 'form the
best guarantee for the future peace-
ful development of civilization.
“When the great American ropub
lie joined us in tho. struggle, it was
not only with material weapon*, but
with all that moral reinforcement
which came from the *plendid vision
and moral enthusiasm of President
Wilsen, speaking on behalf of the peo-
ple of the United Mate*. His was
the great vision of a league of na-
tions, and our main concern now
must be the saving of Europe for the
futers of the world. A* we organized
tho world victory, let us now organ-
ise the world against hunger. That
will be the best preparation for tho
new international good feeling anil
operation.
“The position is tragic in the ex
treme. A whole world order is piss-
ing* Sway. There is danger of things
going too far- and giving Europe a set-
back from which she wHl not recover
for generations.
“The evil* bred by hunger threaten
not merely the old institutions, but
civilization. We saved tho souls of
civilization; now let ns earo for its
sick body.”

New York, NoV. 10.—Mrs. Cora Car-

recovered a verdict yesterday in the
Supreme Court' against Gladys Mary
Moore, known in the movie world as
Alary Pickford, 1 for 0108,338.07 for
the plaintiff's shrviee* ib having en-
abled the defendant to make a Two-
year contract under which Miss Pick

When the juhy returned its verdict
this morning to Justice Delob anty it
simply read: “For the plaintiff,”

Justice Relehanty thereupon ordered
the jury to retire again and determine
what amount the defendant should
pay. He said that tho plaintiff had
sued for’ 10 per cent of the earnings
of the film star under tke contract,

evidence what those earning*

who escaped in a miraculous manner
from a submarine which sunk in home
waters frtai an accidental cause.
Although the petty officer was
fighting for his life, he showed a won-
derful example of courage and perse-
verance, and of refusal to acknowledge
defeat. Alone, in almost complete
darkness, with the water gradually
rising, receiving electric shocks, aud
toward the end suffering from the ef-
fects. of chlorine gas and a badly
crushed hand, he worked on for near-
ly two hours keeping his head to the
lust, and at the seventh attempt suc-
ceeded is opening the hatch and final-
ly reaching the surfuco.
It was about 10:30 a.ru. when the
mishap occurred, and it at ouco be-
came apparent that the submarine was
taking in ft great deal of water. Hav-
ing satisfied himself there was no one
loft aft he made his way to the con-
ning tower hatch with tho intention
of dosing it, but before ho roachod
it water was pouring in in a thighty
volume, and that meant that his
chances of closing the hatch were
hopelote.
With the weight of water the boat
began to dip forward, and his only
hope of escape from drowning was to
shut himself in the engine room.
At this time the engine room was
in complete darkness save for tho glim
mer from one pilot lamp. The effect
of tho salt water on the electric bat-
teries was to generate chlorine gns,
and tho air was becoming overpower-
ing. The water had Short circuited
the electric current so that practically
everything be touched gave him a
shock. Moreover, the room wns op-
pressively ho1..
He tried to think of a means of
escape, and finally conceived tho idea
of opening the hatch and floating to
the surface but on trying to open the
hutch ho' found that the tremendous
pressure of the water outside pre-
vented his moving it. He had always
accepted the theory that the pressure
inside a sunken air locked vessel could
ho grenter than the pressure outside.
Bo to increase the pres*ure inside the
opened a valve and admitted more
water. When he Considered the pres-
sure was sufficient to blow him out
he opened tho hatch, but it instantly
closed again, as he had insufficient
pressure.
With his shoulder, aud exerting all
his strength, he lifted the hatch, but
again, with the weight of the water,
it slammed to, crushing his fingers.
With difficulty he released them, and
race more opened the valve and ad-
mitted water until the engine room
was floded right up to the comning
of the hatch. The air in this con-
fined space was now greater than
that of the water outside, *o he was
able to open the hutch hud rise rap-
idly tp the surface, where he
'picked up by a destroyer.
