Says No Movement Better Deserves Support of People. Washington, Nov. 18. "I doubt If there is a movement, among the move ments that one can broadly term phi lanthropic, In the country which bet ter deserves the interest nnd support of our people than the movement for Young Women's Christian associa tions." Thus spoke President Boosevelt to a gathering of young women of Wash ington who called at the White House mi the president's Invitation to receive his congratulations on the splendid work being done by the Young Wo men's Christian association. "There has been in the past," con tinued the president, "a tendency to do more for young men than for young women. I remember twenty- five years ago, being very much struck, in Ner York, at a time when I had some connection with work on the east side, with the fact that there was so much more opportunity for a young man without friends In the city to get a place for himself, to escape temptation, to receive aid, than there wns for a young woman; that too of ten there was no chnncc for the young woman who came to the city to re ceive help and have the human sym pathy which she so much needed." The president then reviewed the work being done by the Young Wo men's Christian associations. Con tinuing, he said: This association Is peculiarly to be commended for the way in which it works in harmony with all other bod ies. You have striven to make your work part of the general helpful work of the community. You try to work In connection with the various church es of all denominations, to help hand In hand with them. You try to work in connection with the other philan thropic organizations. I do not know an Influence which has a greater need and which lias n Juster warrant for asking outsiders to help it than this." DORANDO SAYS HE'LL WIN.

I - LOW IE Great Victory For Chancellor Vln Kaiser's Surrender. IfEANS PEACEFUL REVOLUTION Constitutional Government Securer" C, "J XUUUC1U1 B AUtUlUUUlU&Uk VI CI Pftrtnnnl Tntprferenne In Foreign Affairs. 4- r Berlin, Nov. 18. There is universal tttolclnc throughout Germany over lOnancallor von Bulow's victory In se ring Emperor William's pledge to abandon his policy of personal Inter ference in foreign affairs. j,It is regarded as a personal victory (or Von Bulow and puts him on a par with Bismarck as a history maker in the German empire. The Badicals and Socialists declare It means a peaceful revolution and that it secures real constitutional gov ernment for the first time. , By his complete surrender to the rcichstag and the people the kaiser has averted a clash with the nation that seemed fraught with prospects of disaster and caused satisfaction and Joy to replace muttered threats and grave discontent in every part of the German empire. After a conference with Chancellor von Bulow, in which the demands of the nation were put before him and the ultimatum of the chancellor to re- CHANCELLOR VON BULOW. sign if he did not give up his personal policy in government affairs, the em peror yielded completely. "It was the bitterest hour of ray life," Emperor William said wearily after the conference had ended. Another effect of the kaiser's history making interview with Von Bulow is the effectual quenching of almost the last flicker of the mediaeval torch of divine right. Bluntly and almost brutally the chancellor told William III. that he must capitulate to the demand of the German race people, who required of hliu that he would in future refrain from unwarranted meddling with the affairs of the state and practically leave the conduct of the public busi ness of the country in the hands of his ministers and the reicbstag. The conference was perhaps the most momentous of the kaiser's reign, All Germany heaved a sigh of relief when it was announced that the em peror had yielded satisfactorily and completely. Had the emperor stood firm even his fawning courtiers were afraid to fore cast the outcome, for it would have precipitated a direct clash between the emperor and the empire. The meeting between the chancellor. who In this instance acted as the tri bune of the pcoplo rather than the rep I resentntive of his ruler, and the kaiser ; was dramatic In the extreme. , Worn and nervous and with none of the old defiance that he used to flash in every look, the kaiser listened to the unvarnished truth boldly and mer cilessly related. Public opinion everywhere applauds the emperor's decision, and where twenty-four hours ago there was gen eral revilement of him he is the object of greater esteem than at any other time in his life.

HIS BROTHER SUBPOENAED TOO Arohhold and Moffett Will Also Be Called For the Defense In the Government's Suit to Dis solve the Trust. New York, Nov. 18. In anticipation of hearing John D. Rockefeller as a witness for the defence In the suit of the government to dissolve the Stand ard Oil company the small courtroom In the custom house, where the hear ing Is being conducted before Referee rnnklln Ferris, was uncomfortably crowded today. Mr. Rockefeller appeared in court for a brief time, but was disappointed at not being called during the fore noon. He appeared smiling and In the best of health. In addition to John D. Rockefeller. three other dominant figures In tit Standard Oil company namely, 'Wll- -WILLIAM. ROOKBFJXLISR. . ilam Rockefeller, John D. Archbold and James A. Moffett have received notices to appear. Testimony of a technical nature .re garding the pipe line service of the company prevented the calling of any of the Standard Oil heads, and the spectators were disappointed. There Is a strong probability that John D. Rockefeller may take the stand to morrow morning, for it is expected that by that time the prosecution and the defense will have finished with the present witnesses. The four prom inent witnesses will not appear in court until the defense Is ready to put them on the stand. Morris Rosenthal, senior counsel for the Standard Oil company, will ex amine John D. Rockefeller on the stand. Then Special Attorney Frank Kellogg will conduct the cross exami nation, which is expected to be the most interesting feature of the entire hearing. The defense will aim to se cure from Mr. Rockefeller the early history of the Standard Oil company. Great leeway is granted to Mr. Kel logg in the cross examination, as he Is permitted to ask any questions he deems important to the case. Referee Ferris will not have the power to pass upon the legal points involved when the lawyers for the defense make ob jections, and the witness will be com pelled to answer and rest content with the objection of his counsel noted on the records, subject to being stricken out later. If Mr. Rockefeller should refuse to answer on advice of counsel Referee Ferris' probable course would be to apply to a federal Judge for a ruling on the point involved. J. W. Vandegrlft, general manager of the Southern Pipe Line company, and B. W. Schroeder, professor of hy draulics at Cornell university, were called by the defense to prove scion; tlflcally the intermixtures of oils o varying specific gravities when ru through the same pipes, one following or preceding tho other. The defens introduced this evidence to substai tiate the testimony of the Oklahoma and Pennsylvania oil producers, who claim that to make the pipe line com mon carriers would be neither prac ticable nor profitable.
