Twenty leading English authors
nearly all widely read in the United
States, have Joined in a statement that
the present war is one TO maintain
the free and aw-abiding ideals of
western Europe against a rule of blood
and iron and the domination of the
whole continent by "A military caste.

B0rnhart Check Waste Bill
To Save Million Dollars In
Public Printing, Is Debated

Wednesday OF this week. according
10 the Congressional Record, must
have been at least one-hah Barnhart
day, when the lower house of con-
gress resOi ed itself into "A committee
Of the whole on the state of the
Union. the Barnhart bill To reduce
the cost Of public printing, being one
Of the principal subjects OF debate. ON
this occasion. CONGRESSMAN H a
Barnhart of Rochester. representing
this. the thirteenth Indiana district
and father of the bill, was me center
of considerable attraction and object
of much criticism from the republi-
can side of the house where. 10 make
the democratic economy record look
as bad as possible, every effort was
made to cut down the bills economic
features.
The extravaganza OF Uncle SAM
printing bills, through a system in
herited from the republicans, is re-
vealed in the report filed by the house
committee on printing which has had
the Barnhart bill TO revise and codify
the public printing laws under con-
sideration. That something needs to
be done 10 check waste in the big
government printing office is evident.
The bill gives the joint committee
closer supervision over the govern
ment printery and provides for cur
tailment Of the indiscriminate use Of
the printing privilege by government
departments and officials. The house
committee estimates that the govern
ment has been losing about million
dollars annually in the publication of
useless documents and the duplication
of work
That the present method of print
ing and distributing government pub
LEGATIONS has become an almost utter
failure is clearly evident from the
enormous accumulation OF obsolete
and useless documents in the govern
ment warehouses year after year"
says the report on the Barnhart bill.
I'm the last six years these puelica-
tons have reached total of more
than six million, the great bulk of
which have had to be disposed OF as
waste paper without ever having been
unwrap ped or read by anyone"
The report contains a table showing
the accumulation of these useless doc
uments during the past six years and
il appears that 1909 was the banner
year for needless printing. The SUI
perintendent of documents, govern
ment printing office. showed that he
had on hand 1,435,272 uncalled for
documents and in 1910 there were
100000 useless documents in the
folding room Of the house OF repre-
sentatives and more than 10000 left
with the superintendent of documents.
The 1914 report of that superintend-
ent showed 100000 on hand for con-
demnatiOn.
THE accumulation Of 1909 in the
office Of the superintendent of docu-
ments." continues the house commit
tee report, resulted from documents
returned by the departments and
libraries that had no further use for
such publications. The books had be-
come so obsolete and shelf worn as
to be unfit for further distribution
and the entire accumulation Of 1850
PIP publications was sold by the pub
lie printer as waste paper at eight
tenths of a cent a pound.

IL MOTHERS SHOULD STRIKE.

From a western reader comes the
most radical suggestion for peace yet
seen.
Let the mothers Of the world go
on strike" she proposes. Let them
refuse TO bring children into existence
until the whole world disarms."
A strike OF mothers. Can you
imagine il?
Yet why should a woman bring a
child into the world TO be shot for
another mans glory or to feed with
its wasted life another mans hate?
Soon or late, in one way or an
other. the women Of civilization must
make this strike: for it's evident thet
until they do war will remain among
the scourges OF the race.
Man mas idealized the patient
woman who sits within four walls and
croons TO baby in the cradle whilst
he. the lord Of creation. plots and
fights.
But in the battles man has neglect
ed to- keep the home a sanctuary.
From it's smoking ruins he dooms the
weeping mother to wander, forsaken,
shelterless.
II is woman who must stop all this
man, unaided, is still too much the
brute.
The hand that fondles baby must
become the hand that rules the world.
1t is only IN fiction that it does so
now.

There are STRANGE shadows foster

More numerous than the clear
cut shade OF day.
Go forth, when all the leaves Whis-

Into the dusk Of swOOping bats
at play
Or go into that late November
dusk
When hills take on the noble
lines Of death,
And ON the air the faint astring-
ent musk
OF rotting leaves pours vaguely
troubling breath
Then shall you see shadows where
of the sun
Knows nothing. ay, "A thousand
shadows there
Shall leap and flicker and stir and
stray and run,
Like petreIs OF the changing

Like ghosts of twilight, of the
moon, of him
Whose homeland lies past each

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

Doyle. Bridges and all that list Of
authors ever could.
1t is when we think of these great
creations-creations that are part
of the common heritage of humanity
vast in insight, scope and reach,
serving the highest in all mankind
alike-that prejudices fade away like
magic and all our better, truer,
nobler selves comes to the surface.
When we think of these great pro-
tagonists Of art and truth and beauty
the hope dawns clear that some day
nations may bring themselves TO move
and act in the fine atmosphere of
high ideals-may realize that a ma
ton, even as great genius, exists not
for itself alone but all the world
