Palace in Holland’s diplomatic capital,
and the Hague’s general reputation as j
the scene of the peace conference, give
it, it is claimed, an advantage over |
its assumed rival.
Holland has a great interest in the
i choice falling on the Hague, for that
is about the only chance of her secur
ing a voice in the weighty conference ■
that will fix Europe’s destinies. As
questions will inevitably arise at the
peace congress vitally affecting the na
tion which holds the mouths of three
of northern Europe’s great waterways
—the Rhine, the Meuse and the Scheldt
—the sitting of such a congress at the
Hague might prove of the greatest im
portance to Holland, quite apart from
the welcome international prestige
which necessarily would accrue to the
state within whose borders it is held.
RAILROAD BUILDERS WANTED
FOR CONSTRUCTION IN EUROPE
ATLANTA, Ga.. May B.—That the
call of the United States for nine regi
ments of engineers and railroads work
ers to be sent immediately to France is
an indication that the great allied gains
on the western front are going steadily
forward with every assurance of con
inued gans, is the opinion expressed by
Atlanta members of the Engineer Offi
ce rs’ Reserve corps, of whom there are
cuite a large number in Atlanta.
Major J. S. Sewell has come to At-
• lanta to recruit a regiment here, to be
• drawn from. Georgia and Alabama, and
• already a number of young civil engi
neers see in this branch of the service
a most attractive opportunity for an
. early journey to France, for service
right up near the fighting front, and for
’ lucrative emp-loyment in that country
when the war is over and the period of
hebadilitation begins.
The government wants civil engi
neers for officers in the regiment.
1 wants railroad building foremen for
non-commissioned officers and wants
carpenters, mechanics, axmen, section
• hands, and all kinds of laborers, who
have had experience in building and
• maintaining railroads.
•I These nine regiments will be sent to
! France to build up and maintain the
.rail lines for rushing supplies and
ammunition up to the fighting line. As
fast as gains are made, the supply
lines must be pushed up with the ad
vancing armies, and a delay in building
these lines has often halted the at
tacking forces.
IHL AMERICUS TIMiIS-RECORDER.
GOMPERS, SPEAKING FOR
AMERICAN LABOR URGES
RUSSIA TO STAND FIRM
j WASHINGTON, D. C., May BN-A
plea against a premature peace for
Russia and renewed assurances that
American wage-earners and the Ameri
can people are in hearty sympathy
with the Russian democratic move
ment are included in a long cable
gram sent by President Samuel Gom
pers, of the American Federation of
Labor, to the executive committee of
the Council of Worknlen and Soldiers’
Deputies at Petrograd.
! Speaking for organized labor in
this country, Gompers also exuressed
complete confidence in the purposes
and opinions of the American war mis
sion soon to go to Russia. Although
he does not mention specifically the
recent attacks on Elihu Root, who will
head the mission, the labor leader de
nounced as criminal and pro-German
any suggestion that the members will
seek to interfere in Russia’s internal
affairs, or will give any advice, ex
cept with the purpose of combatting
the common enemy. Forcible annexa
tions are condemned, but Mr. Gompers
pleads that every people affected by
the war should in the end be free to
i choose their allegiance. Punitive in
demnities also are denounced, and hope
is expressed that leaders of the work
: ing classe of the central empires will |
’ cease plotting for an abortive peace, I
1 and will bring a real peace b yover

KARL, LAST OF HAPSBURGS,
CUTS TAPE TO GET SERVICE
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, May S.— 1
It isn’t safe in Vienna to tell the other :
party to “Go to —Stockholm,” when :
the telephone wires become crossed. '
The irate speaker might be addressing ’
himself thus to King Karl, whose reign
to date has been marked by the ruth
less swatting of precedents. Vienna
newspapers bristled with exclamation
points of surprise in recording King
Karl’s informality in telephoning peo- (
pie to whom he wants to talk. “Hello, .
this is Karl,” said the monarch in the
phone call that aroused the compilers
of books on court etiquette. He was
speakirg to the minister of finance in
an effort to find Count Tisza. Eti
quette specialists say the king should
have sent a command telegram, pre
paid, charged to the treasury, ordering
Tisza to report to headquarters. This
would have taken hours, but a phone
call, even in Vienna doesn’t take more
ti an 15 minutes.
