Austin American will issue an elaborate special edition
Sunday. Nov. 26, dealing with the inauguration of Presi-
dent Robert Ernest Vinson and stressing the importance
and significance of the University of Texas homecoming
at Thanksgiving time.
The edition will be a comprehensive as well as an
artistic exposition of university affairs. In addition to
being profusely illustrated, the number will carry a wealth
of historical data, articles and sketches centered on "Uni-,
versity Hill,” and will bring to the fore achievements of
the crowning educationafinstitution of Texas, its past and
its probable future.
Articles and sketches of keenest interest dealing with
university personages and stressing phases of university
work, will appear from the pens of faculty members and
others thoroughly in touch with the institution, its pur-
poses and its people. Every, phase of university activities
is to lie treated in a manner both attractive and instructive
History, reminiscences, "old timers,” athletics, social and
religious affairs, achievements and future outlook will be
among the things featured specially.
Taken all in all the special university edition of Austin

scope and purposes, will go out as a great force for the
splendid success of the homecoming which is being pro-
claimed generally over the state as the premier celebration

turb American- British credits.
While the report could not be con-
firmed officially, it has been known
that the big money powers which have
been assisting England in financing
the war oppose the application of the
retaliatory legislation.
It is believed here that J. P. Mor-,
gan, at his recent conference with
King George, assured the British
monarch that the United States was
unlikely to do any act which would
tend to disturb the friendliest rela-
tions between the two countries. It
was considered probable here that Mr.
Morgan directed Mr. Davison to make
representations to President Wilson
concerning the possibility of this gov-
ernment undertaking reprisals against
England.
It is known and haa been declared
authoritatively that the executive de-
partments of the government await
only President Wilson’s instructions
before taking action under the retal-
iatory laws.
The house of Morgan was said to
fear not only that President Wilson
would carry out the intent of congress
when it passed the retaliatory laws,
but to apprehend that there was dan-
ger of the next congress legislating
more pointedly against belligerent ag-
gressions.

interview on the national labor con-

Mr. Adamson is the chairman of

President Wilson's chief lieutenant in
forcing the eight-hour bill through the
lower branch of congress. His views
represent those of the administration.
Representative Adamson reiterated
his faith in the constitutionality of
the eight-hour law. He said it would

President Wilson, according to re-

tenacious battle in which attackers
and defenders rivalled in gallantry
and atubbornneas. The deenke be-
came untenable after the Franco-
Serbtan forces had wrested th© nat-
urally powerful positions on the Cerna

at the amie time smashing the south-

Allies Are Exultant,
The fall of Monastir to the allies is
regarded here as the greatest achieve-
ment of the entente arms this fall,
overshadowing in moral respects even
the successes on the Homme Mili-
tary experts concede that it is a vic-
tory of moral rather than strategic
importance. Had the blow been
struck a month or turn earlier, it is be-
lieved that it would have tremendous
effect on the whole military situation
in the Balkans. Coming st this lute
date, however, on the eve of winter.
It cannot be expected to usher in a

fluence on the chief aim of the el-
lied Macedonian campaign, namely,
