SECRECY CL|NCS
ABOUT OUTLOOK
IN RUMELY SHOP
Experts Prom La Porte Of
fices Deny knowledge of
Directors Plans for Rich
mOnd Branch.

The future of the Rumely plant Is
as much in the dark as 1t has been
for the last year The arrival Of two
members of the designing and engin-
eering department at the plant today,
making their regular visit, did not
have any significance, according to
Glen Morse. works manager.
The two men from the head offices
say they know nothing of the plans of
the officials, part of whom are in La
porte and part in New York. They
exploded the ideas advanced by Vim
view here recently.
Refutes Rumeiy Story.
"Vincent Rumely is a nice fellow,
but he has no authority to talk and
nothing to talk about except his indi-
vidual ideas," one of the men said.
He is a craftsman working under me
and I sent him down here to do some
work in the country. He knows no
more than / know and l know abso-
lutely nothing"
The interview given out by Mr..
Rumely found it's way to the Chicago
offices. What transpired had the ef-
feet Of cutting off all possibilities Of
future interviews until there is~-a
definite announcement by the Rumely
officials.
Mr.. Morse and the two travelling
representatives said the head offic es
are opposed to publicity at this time,
as it raises false hopes with the peo-
pie. The men said full publicity will
be given any acts Of the officials
which have a definite bearing on the
future of the concern. as soon as some
decision is reached regarding the var
ious plants.

Who would have looked to see
Lincoln save a nation9 Who that
knew Lincoln when he was lad
and youth and a young man-but
all the while there was springing
up in him as if he were connected
with the very soil itself, the sap of
a nation, the vision of a great peo-
pie, a sympathy so ingrained and
intimate with the common run of
men that he was like the people i'm
personated, sublimated, touched
with genius. And it is to such
sources that he must always look.
No man can calculate the courses
of genius. No man can foretell the
leadership Of nations. And so we
must see to it that the bottom is left
open. we must see to it that the
soil of the common feeling of the
common consciousness is always
fertile and unclogged, for there
can be no fruit unless the roots
touch the rich sources of life.
And it seems to me that the
schoolhouses dotted here, there,
and everywhere, over the great ex-
panse of this nation, will some day
prove to be the roots of that great
tree of liberty which shall spread
for the sustenance and protection
of all mankind.

Ellen, who is seven years old and
lives out in Kansas City, came
home from school the other day

something about Red Cross Seals

what it was all about. SO it was

Women Feed The Soldiers

/ In war time, women do not mere
ly help by nursing the wounded.
They also render aid which has
positive economic value, and which
is essential to keep the country GO
ing. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait
writes: ....
Mr.. Steyn, president of the
Orange Free State at the time of
the Boer War, told me in my visit
| to South Africa that in one year
the women on the farms in the
Transvaal and the Orange Free
State produced enough food and
supplies to maintain the army in
the field for three years.
This remark is brought back to
mind by the appeal of Premier Vi
viani to the women of France to
complete the work of gathering the
crops left unfinished by the men
called to arms.
American tourists, flying to-
ward London in their haste to es-
cape from war territory, write that
on every road in France there were
! companies Of young men to be seen
marching to the front, while in
every field sobbing women were
hard at work doing the work the
men had left undone. They need
ed no appeal from the Premier.
French women are already doing
what women of all lands have done
in war times since the world began
the work of women plus the work
| of men.
! Without the work Of women in
field, factory and shop, where they
take up the industrial labor men
have laid down; without their pro-
duction of food for the army and
tax money to meet the enormous
cost of war, any nation would come
to an end, though its army were
composed entirely of Alexanders
and Napoleons.
"Superficially minded opponents
of woman suffrage bring the al
legged argument that women can
not fight They can fight, and
have fought, in wars all down the
centuries, but if they go forth to
fight, who shall keep the nation 60
ingi What is there to fight for
Thank God, they do not 60 to the
front often In the calm, sad
moments at home they are learning
to understand the wasteful cost OF
war as men have never done, and
some day as one woman the mother
lhood of the world will refuse longer
to give their sons to be shot in sup
port Of the vagaries Of monarch:
or false ideals of national honor. L
courts are better than dulles, i
votes are better than pitched bat
ties to settle national difficulties, 81
are International courts and inter
national' Parliaments better thar
war. 1t is votes women must de
mand if they would abolish the hor
rors, the waste, the barbarism o.
war, and usher in the blessing o:
peace. "
In view of the carnage in Europ,
all women who want wars to cease
should redouble their work for tn,

Fish may make you brainy. but it's eggs that make you amiable. at least if we can believe the claims made fol this particular article of food by a German scientist of note.
 "Cranks. grouches, nervous wrecks of all kinds, should eat all the eggs they can possibly digest" says Pro- lessor Stiegletz. Eggs are the best thing in the world for those whose i'll tempers make themselves and every one around them uncomfortable.

Autograph hunting sometimes prov es profitable pursuit. A Frenchman of the last century, Ludovic Picard, made a steady income out of 1t for some years. His most successful coup was accomplished with letter in which he posed as "one of the unapprecitted who is meditating suicide and seeks for counsel and aid in this hour of sore distress" This effusion drew a number of celebrities, including Beran- ger and Heine. Lacordaire sent ten closely written pages, which were promptly converted into cash. Dick ens also fell a victim and took the trouble to answer in French.

WE NEED SHIPS.

The passage by the House of Rep resentatives of resolution approving of Winston Spencer Churchill's pro posed naval holiday" does great credit to the hearts of the members. To stop the building of destructive war vessels, not merely for one year but for all time, is "consummation devoutly to be wished" But we are not dwelling in Arcadia and the mill lennium is not at hand. The United States navy needs new warships and the threat that provision may be made for only one to be laid down this year is most disouieting. Secretary Daniels, in his annual report, urges the construction of two dreadnoughts this year. while the Naval Board has given good reasons why four should be built Two is the minimum of our yearly requirement until our na- val establishment has been brought up to modern standards. There is no demand in this country for navy as large as Great Britain's, but we have an extensive coast line to pro tect and possessions in the Atlantic and Pacific. Four of our present ships of the line ought to be put out of commission.
 The peace movement in congress is not to be discouraged. It is good sign. Legislators committed to a peace policy are likely to act fairly in treating with foreign questions. Such legislators will not be likely to ignore the treaties our, government has made with other nations. But we cannot expect all peoples to be equally just and enlightened, and we must keep ourselves prepared for de- fense. Two ships will be favored this session by the Naval Committees of both Houses, we understand, and a strong effort must be made in con- gross to prevent repetition of last years fiasco.-Exchange
