FORD,S OFIT-SHARLNG DEPENDS ON ITS
WORTH AS A BUSINESS PROPOSITION
VA
-SAYS ROGER ". BABSON.

-SH1S RONER W. bHbSONs
Apparently the motive for the new
arrangement is largely due to the
fact that Mr. Ford has not forgotten
that he once worked at the bench
himself. Moreover, he feels that he
would like to aid in the solution of
some phase of the social question.
His wealth and his success have
not cut him off from the chap who,
with his hands and his brain, works
in the shop.
Rich men, who have inherited their
wealth, are not the sort to care much
about what becomes of the fellows
below. One of the worst things about
inherited wealth is that it usually
causes the possessors to look upon
those who have to earn their living
as belonging to a distinctly lower
class.
AS corporations have grown stead
lily larger, the assumption that the
interest of employer and employe
could be identical has vanished. The
present attempt is based upon the
theory that it is possible for both
parties to be more successful through
cooperation 1t is based upon the
assumption that well-paid men can
do better work than men who are I'M
derpaid. This is a new idea to those
people who feel that the best work is
done when a man lives in constant
dread that he may not be able to pro-
vide for his family.
The Ford plan, on the contrary, is
based upon the theory that peaceful
relations can be maintained by profit
sharing, so that the capitalist and
the laborer will feel that each is
working for the good of the other.
This plan will stand or fall in pro-
portion to its results in turning out
a marketable product.
1t has made more of the factor of
the human equation than has either

Clever Wife.

Food faddists cause Mr.. RaIDb
Nevill to make some rather piouant
remarks in his latest book, "FaDcips
Fashions and Fads" (Methuen) and
he tells an amusing story at the ey.
pense of one of them.
When at luncheon with friend he
observed that he touched no meat
but ate only certain strange vegetar.
ian dishes, which had evidently been
prepared for his special consumption
Later on, says Mr. Nevill, Il inquired
of his wife if this new diet agreed
with her husband.
Tt didn't at first she replied, but
it does now
From his looks he certainly seems
to thrive on it. He never looked more
robust in his life
I take care of that she went on
though / hope he won't find it out
No man partakes of a more carnivor
Gus diet than he Every one of those
vegetable courses you saw today was
full of the strongest meat juice, which,
by my orders, is put into everything
served to him before it appears on
the table. /"

could do, the enormous enlargement
of Servia, due to the unfair partition
Of Macedonia, has been achieved. On
the other hand, Balkan alliance,
with the point directed against Aus
tria-Hungary, is not likely to be form
ed for many years to come, and this
was the greatest danger this mon
archy had to face before. With Rus
STA, too, her relations are now decid-
eddy better; in st. Petersburg they
have become convinced that Austria
Hungary has no Interior purposes at
heart, and seeks only lasting peace on
the Balkan.
Striking sort of balance, then,
the author arrives at the conclusion
that Austria-Hungary issues out of the
fiery furnace of the last year with no
diminished prestige as a great power,
with no loss Of friends, but certainly
with some economic losses and with
more cares for the future.

AUSTR|A'S PROBLEMS
Eagerness to Revise Peace OF
Bucharest Has SubSided.
Vienna Paper Publishes Some Inter-
esting Facts on What Monarchy
Has Accomplished in Course
Of War on the Balkan.

Vienna.-The eagerness to have the
peace of Bucharest revised has now
subsidized. In fact, it may be stated
with some degree of assurance that
stria-Hungary has abandoned all
idea Of altering that instrument. II
Bulgaria herself, the party chiefly IN
iured, is accepting her fate Win
equanimity, why should we at more or
less risk and cost attempt to inter-
fere? Thus runs now the argument OF
Austria Hungary. And this argument
was clinched, so to speak, when Bull
garia began direct negotiations with
Turkey.
This line of action, however, does
not mean that the recently-concluded
treaty at the Roumanian capital b
here looked upon as likely to last 1t
is rather regarded as an armistlce
which may possibly endure twelve
month or more, but whose. inherent
weakness, together with the dissonant
elements making part of it, fore
shadow beyond doubt another bloody
and venomous war. Yet even this
gertrude for the future is here held
as better than the immediate break
ing out Of another continued chapter
of hostilities.
In a political review of the present
situation on the Balkan, inspired by
the foreign Office in Vienna, the Tag
blatt of this city publishes some in
teresting facts; mainly as to what this
monarchy has accomplished, and
what it has failed to accomplish in
the course of the late unpleasantness
on the Balkan The article points
out that the creation of Albania has
been the work of Austria-Hungary;
that the withdrawal of Montenegro
from Scutari was due to her likewise;
that Servia was kept from the Adrla-
tic! but that, more important, the
Dreibund has been knit more closely
together, and that the relations with
Italy particularly were never such in
innate and friendly once before-all
due to common interests in the IN
raveling of the Balkan problem; last
ly, it is mentioned that the relations
between England and Austria-Hun-
gary have vastly improved, being new
err SO good as now since England join
ed France and Russia as a political
partner, and that England has all
along appreciated the peculiar inter-
ests Of Austria Hungary in the Balkan
settlement, owing to her geographical
position.
But with so much to the right side
Of the ledger, the article goes on to
state that the final outcome of the Bal
kan war has been entirely against
the interests of the dual monarchy.

ENGLISH HOME OF 1872

German-English School
Head Scores COuntrymen
for Lack of Patriotism

Germans and German-Americans
are taken to task for lack of interest
in the cultivation of German and of
pride In the Fatherland. in the an
nual report of the Twelfth Ward
German English School made by Eu-
gene Rahm, the principal
why should Germans or German
descendants not be proud of their
fatherland, the great achievements of
which in every field are recognized
the world over?'' asks Mr. Rahm in
his report. "Such pride would not in
terfere with ones American citizen
shop"
Mr.. Rahm in his report appears
alarmed for the future of German
American schools and points to the
decline of German immigration.
Twenty-Five years ago when he took
charge of the school, the report reads,
there were six hourishing German
American schools in Newark. Now
there are but two, and these leading
a struggling existence.
Unless some heroic measures are
taken to make the financial basis a
sounder one Mr.. Rahm fears for the
future of his institution. He gives
praise to the German Central Society
for having taken up the question Of
creating a permanent fund from
which the two German-American
schools from time to time may re-
ceive such support as they need
