Complaint is made in France that

to the Church of ST. Louis at the In

liti.l has been done to preserve either
the home or the sepulcher. The build

OF the neighborhood let their sheep

II is believed that ere long a storm

obILteratIna Field Of Waterloo

While Americans are observing the
semtcentennial of Gettysburg, and
thousands study the battle by the aid
OF the monuments and markers on the
battlefield, complaint comes to Eng
land that the Waterloo terrain is in
danger. While La Hale Sainte and
Hougomont still bear the marks OF
cannon shot, both are In danger OF
being rebuilt. and part of the Hougo-
mont wall against which the wave Of
French courage dashed in vain has
already been pulled down. That is not
the worst of the situation. according
to a British officer who recently dsit-
ed the field. "Tramcars" and cheap
fares have been followed by "tawdry
cafes" located on the very spot
whence the Imperial Guard recoiled.
What Is to be done?. The suggestion
is that cooperation OF Belgians and
EngIishmen who would preserve the
topography OF Waterloo many be effec-
tive in doing for that famous field
what has been done for Gettysburg, but
the iirst step. II IL admitted will be
very expensive. II preservation is not
organized there is danger that the
strategic points will be obliterated by

continually worse and soon spread
over his face and legs. The child suf-

that he could not sleep Dights. He
scratched them and they looked fear

Industrial Agents Meet.

The regular monthly meeting OF the
state industrial commission and com.
mission deputies in Milwaukee, was
devoted largely to a discussion as 10
the best manner in which to cooperate
with state manufacturers to relieve
dangerous conditions existing ard TO
reduce the number of accidents.
c. W. Price of the commission dis
cussed his experience with manufac-
turing companies and declared he had
received nothing but encouragement
and evidences of a desire on the part
of the manufacturers as whole to
cooperate. The plan advocated by the
commission is the organization OF com.
mittees composed OF workmen In the
various plants, whose duty it will be
to install guards and TO regularly in
spect the conditions In the sections I'M
der their control
The meeting was given over to an
explanation of the provisions embod-
led in the new act to regulate the
working hours for women and provid-
ing penalties. This law,is much the
same as the old one with the excep-
ton that it empowers the commission
to investigate in the event of viola
ton and to establish hours of labor to
suit the individual condition.

sought and seen It's path in this mat
ter within the last few years-see IL
more clearly now than it ever saw it
before-much more clearly than when
the last legislative proposals on the
subject were made. We must have a
currency. not rigid as now. but readily.
elastically responsive to sound credit,
the expanding and contracting credits
of everyday transactions. the normal
ebb and flow OF personal and corporate

concentration anywhere in few hands
OF the monetary resources OF the coun-
try or their use for speculative pur-
poses in such volume as to hinder or
impede or stand in the way of other
more legitimate. more fruitful uses.
And the control of the system OF bank
ing and OF issue which our new laws
are to set up must be public. not pri-
vate. must be vested in the govern
ment itself, so that the banks may be
the instruments. not tie masters, of
business and OF individual enterprise

ship from ten to thirty boxes nearly
every day TO Chicago, because the law
