ton portends to Detroit and to
the industrial world as a whole.
Detroit is pre- eminently the au-
tomobile city. Great as are the
Ford works, there are others
there hardly overshadowed. The
standard set by Ford must be
closely measured up to by the
others If they desire to keep their
high-grade employees. Any revi-
sion of wages in that field must
necessarily be revision upward.
The eight-hour rule can not long
be observed In one great factory
and ignored in the factories of it's
rivals.
No possible expenditures of
great profits by a corporation
could be SO advantageous to a
city as their distribution among
a great multitude of employees.
The Ford Company is about to
double the purchasing power OF
thousands of its employees. and
greatly increase it for many
thousands more. What this will
mean to the business community
Of Detroit and of the other cities
in which Ford branches are To-
Gated is apparent.
1t Is fortunate for the business
interests of the whole nation that
this pre- eminent manufacturing
concern has taken this step at
just this time. Could there be a
more positive answer to the
croakers who are dismally pre-
dieting hard times. and advising
every man to lock up his dollars
where they can't be lost--or be
useful?
The Ford Company deals with
the average man. The motor
cars 1t makes are bought by peo-
pie to whom the expenditure OF
few hundred dollars Is an event,
and a car highly priced possess
sion not to be discarded for a
whim OF fashion. Its customers
are precisely those who first
would feel the pinch of hard
times, lessened employment.
slackened industry and falling
wages.
Knowing this, and undoubtedly
not deaf to the dismal forebod-
ings of pessimists, Henry Ford
announces a policy which will
give employment to one third
more workers. which enormously
Increases regular wages and con-
fidently assures employees a share
in prodigious profits to be earned
in 1914
The business community owes
Henry Ford an inestimable debt.
AS for Detroit--well, no wonder
her people declare it "a place
where life is worth living" If liv-
ing there has developed a charac-
ter SO rich in practical generosity
and business astuteness as his.

Henry F0rd's Plan and Its Great Value

MO visitor to Detroit is per-

quent hotel corridors, clubs or
other places where men congre-
gate without hearing much about
Henry Ford. The story OF the
swift and sudden rise to enor-
nous wealth, and tho essential
simplicity and modesty Of this CO.
lossus OF roadsters is a topic
upon which the Detroiter can ever
wax eloquent.
You are told of his bank ac-
counts so plethoric In ready cash
that tho banks themselves hesi-
tate to take them. dreading the
sudden withdrawal Of such large
amounts.
You hear of the lawyer who
unwilnngiy took a block OF stock
for his fee for drawing a few le-
sal papers in the Ford Company's
early Gays. and now enjoys an in
come of $4,000 year from that
reluctant investment.
In u passing limousine you OBJ
serve a highly prosperous looking
gentleman. and are assured that
twenty years ago he was a 1900
a year bookkeeper who, deaf to
his wife's prudent protests, put
all his little savings into Ford's
infant concern and now reckons
his daily income at about the
same figure as his former annual
wage.
If you drive about "the city
where life Is worth living" as De-
troiters modestly describe their
home. you will be shown the huge

you will hear OF the $4,000 men
employed In this great edifice OF
concrete, steel and glass.
But on the fashionable streets
OF the city. or at Crosse Pointe,
where palatial residences look
across velvety lawns to the blue
waters OF Lake St. Clair, you will
look In vain for any modern cas-
tie housing this modest captain
Of industry. Out in a wholly I'M
fashionable suburb, selected by
him because there was the farm
on which he lived in boyhood
days, he has built his home, sur
rounding II with broad acres on
which he installs animals of va
rious kinds--domesticat and

enjoyed by Henry Ford has been
the study OF animal life. | I'M

this interest he is active in a
movement to give to Detroit a

rank with the foremost In the
country.
The Ford Company begins it's
program OF profit-sharing with
an act Of absolute justice. 1t fixes
the hours Of a days work at
eight. instead OF nine. and as Its
factories are in continuous opera
ton, works three shifts daily. Mr..
Ford expresses pleasure that this
system enables him to give en-
pioyment to several thousand
more men.
But II does more. It advances
the movement for a general eight
hour day prodisiously. Tho Ford
motor works will be pointed to as
an example by advocates Of eight

generosity---as business ethics
now stand. To fix Ave dollars as
the minimum wage for any en-
ployee over 20 years Of age Is an
act Of arbitrary henevolence. Po-
litical economists and hard head
ed business men will tell you that
men are worth what you can get
them for in the open market, con-
trolled by the inexorable law Of
supply and demand--no more.
Henry Ford evidently never
studied political economy, and,
excellent business man though he
Is. does not think a hard heart
the necessary accompaniment of
a hard head.
Magnihcently imperial IS the
announcement that 100000 has
been fixed upon as the sum that
will be divided during the COM
ing year among the Ford en-
ployees, Payments from this
sum are to be made In tho pay
envelopes semi monthly. The In
estimable superiority of this sys-
tenn over the common practice Of
profit sharing corporations which
keep their employees in doubt
twelve months as to their share
Of the profits is obvious.
Thrift ia most encouraged by
a precise knowledge of what one
has and what one may fairly
hope TO save. The Ford system
will distinctly develop thrift.
This magnif1cently generous ac-
ton on the part of this company
will enable II to take its pick Of
employees In every branch OF the
industry In which II Is engaged.
To that extent its generosity will
be profitable.
To the employees the advan-
tages OF a shorter work day, high
er wages and share in the prof
its are too obvious to need expla-

At the Battle Front, Sept. "a, via
Paris, 5 p. m.--The German offensive
was extremely vigorous today at the
westerl end OF the long line stretch
ing along the rivers Disc, Aisne and
Woevre.
The allied troops, whose gaps had
been filled with freshly arrived rein
iorcements, not only repeatedly
thrust back the German attack but
eventually carried out a successful
counter attack which resulted in the
gaining of considerable ground and
the definite capture of Peronne,
about which town the fiercest en-
gasement occurred.
At one place the victims of the
deadly German guns were eneount-
cred in hundreds, especially where
the advance was across an open

Some men of a French regiment
which was making a dash toward NE
German position when it was struck
by the sweeping fire, were found
dead in the kneeling position they
had taken behind the sheaves of
wheat, ald from where they had
emptied their magazines, intending
to start final rush and bayonet
charge.
After the fight 900 dead were
buried in a single trench six feet
deep, Germans being placed at ons
end and French at the other.
Farther to the east near Berry Au

there appears to be concentrated a
large German force. The fighting
