In exercising the power Of assess.

extraordinary cases, where the con-

the craft to handle by itself, or where
the loss of the contest would cause
irreparahle injury to the craft organ

such joint+board as might be deter
mined, by the national or international
trades unions entering into the com
pact. Probably in most cases it could
only be done by decision of the mem
bership of those unions on referen-
dunn vote. If the executive Board of
the American Federation takes up this
matter as it was intended, and ad-
vises wit hthe several labor organiza-

fore the next convention a fair express

SCIENCE AND WAR
(From the Milwaukee Leader.)

+ For more than az generation militar
ism has been prosftuting the best
minds it could enslaye TO the work Of
destruction.
1t has been pointed out that the
most intricate and marvellous ma
china in this age of machines is
modern battleship. There is nothing
else in the whole mechanical world
combining SO mang ingenious contrl-
vances, so gigantic forces and such
perfect unity of action in widely ex-
tended factors. Il
+ No instrument for the production OF
wealth and the building OF human be-
ings has had such concentrated atten-
ton of so many human minds as the
machine gun for the shutting out OF
human lives. If the same skill and
energy and resources had been de-
voted to machines for harvesting
wheat for life as has been given to
machins for harvesting men for
death. the feeding of the world would
be little more than the pressing OF a
button. ~
Militarism has turned the great
currents of inventive genius away
from the problem of bringing more
abundant life to mankind into chan
nels where it is concerned with the
Remembering of the. living human
body and strangling the breath OF
life in that body. .i9|lF
When aviators, after thousands of
years of study and experiment, at last
lifted man above the earth, the mill
tary caste at once demanded that
those so uplifted should first and fore
most concern themselves with killing
their fellow creatures crawling below.
Man conquered the air only to use
lit to murder his kind.
Wireless telegraphy,. that might
have bound the world together in
bonds of cooperation, was seized up
on by war lords in each nation and
drafted into the service of the armies
of destruction, rather than enlisted in
the armies of production.
In Europe cities wer' eeven located,
railroads built, canals dug, tunnels
bored and the whole intricate mech
anism of the social machine was
warped, twisted and bent to suit the
demands of militarism.
Science, that should have been but
the. means of an ever greater conquest
by man over his nvironment. became
but an instrument for the manning
and numbering Of man.

A WAR POEM

--IHs
(By Bartholomew F. Griffen.)
Suppose 'twere done!
The lanyard pulled on every shotted
gun:
Into the wheeling death-clutch sent
Each millioned armament,
To grapple there
On land, on sea and under, and in air!
Suppose at last 'twere come
Now, while each bourse and shop and
mill is dumb,
And arsenals and dockyards hum
Now all complete, supreme,
That vast, Satanic dream!-
Each field were trampled, soaked,
Each stream dyed, choked, !
Each leaguered city and blockaded
port
Made famine's sport;
The empty wave
Made Keeling dreadnought's grave;
Cathedral, castle, gallery, smoking fell
Meath bomb and shell;
In deathlike trance
Lay industry, finance;
Two thousand years
Bequest, achievement, saving, disap-
pears
In blood and tears,
In widowed woe
That slum and palace equal know,
In civilizations suicide
What served thereby, what satisfied?

SOME SUMMER DRINKS.
LEMONADE.

The best lemoRslde is that made with
boiling water instead of cold. Three
lemons make a quart of lemonade.
Scrub and rinse the, lemons thorough
ly, as their rough skins hold many par
ticles of dust and CRIME. Chip off the
thin outer skin of some of the lemons
and steep for ten minutes in little
water Cut two thin slices from the
center of each lemon and lay to one
side. Press the juice from the lemons,
using corrugated glass or lemon
squeezer. Add to the juice sugar to
make sweet as desired, then pour on
the proper amount of boiling water
together with the strained water from
the Clipped yellow peel. Let stand
until cold; then if not ready to use
stand in the ice box until needed.
Serve with the slices of 1emon-a cou-
pie, to each glass-and Clipped ice,
if you are sure of the purity Of the
ice; otherwise chill by putting next
to the ice. Lemonade takes on 9. more
festive appearance by the addition Of
a little pink coloring matter, such as
comes with many of the packages of
gelatin. or little currant, strawberry
or red raspberry juice. Slices of ban
ana, strawberries cut in quarters, rasp-
berries or pitted cherries add to the
attractiveness of this favorite bever-
age.

Vedrines Kills German
in Battle in Miduir
Special to The Telegraph

On the Battle Front, via Paris, Sept.
81. - Jules Nedrines. the noted French
aviator, has won a fight in maidair with
a German aviator whom he brought to
earth.
The German was daringly recon
noitering the position of the allies when
Nedrnes assembled. Moving swiftly up
ward until he was above the German,
Nedrines gave chase, and as he skim
med sent fusillade at the airman
with his automatic gun.
The German machine was riddled and
the aviator killed, both collapsing to
the ground within fifteen minutes from
the time Nedrines took the air. Vedrines
had accomplished a similar feat once
before.
Four wounded Scotch soldiers state
that they Lave seen three German
aeroplanes brought down. two by gun
fire and one by rifle fire. They said that
in one of these was a small boy. The
machine landed gently and the aviator
escaped, leaving the child behind. He
has not been adopted by the artillery.
One point with regard to aeroplanes
is fairly established-that when high
enough to be safe from gun or rifle fire
it is impossible for the observer to
gather any distinct and useful idea of
conditions or position of troops, bat
teries, etc, below him. Except in un-
usually clear weather. he is compelled
to descend to a dangerous level I'm or

The Dawn of the Flowing Skirt

bon in different widths. at least five
rows of them and the topmost quite
narrow. broad sash swathed the
waist and the underskirt was scolloped
and frilled near the feet. Several
modes, made much on the same lines,
but with short, rounded coat, were
in blue cloth and blue liberty, others
were entirely of black liberty with
cape instead of coat.
Silhouettes and Taffetas
The two most attractive feminine
silhouettes of the moment are eX-
tremely simple. One shows a neat,
dark blue tailor-made with a satin
underskirt, a straight and not too full
tunic, a short coat with a rounded
basque. open in front to show blouse
of creamy net, and limp, turned
back collar of the finest creamy lawn,
very lightly embroidered. Round the
throat a string of pearls, and on the
head a toque or a small hat of white
satin with an inlet of dark blue satin
round the base of the crown and a
trimming of white flowers or feathers
Another charming figure is that of
woman in black liberty simply draped
skirt, short enough to show dainty
black shoes and old paste buckles,
bodice of black mousseline, liberty,
and white net with long, transparent
sleeves and redingote with softly
ished off by high toque of fine, shin
ing straw trimmed with feathers.
Gloves may be white or mastic but
lately. within the last week, white
seems more in favor than anything
else.
Taffetas for afternoon wear is ques-
tionable, but taffetas for evening wear
is not. 1t can be found in such deli
cate tones. and its whites are so in
tinitely various. 1t looks we'll whether
trimmed or untrimed. and it has
lightness which is inimita BILE, and so
suitable for the decollete fashions of
the season. That the fashions are
decollete must be allowed, and the
woman was not wrong who said that
most evening gowns are held on the
shoulders by three beads and a happy
thought. There are no sleeves, or
sometimes there is one sleeve in net
which looks ashamed of itself for be-
ing there. and the other arm is bare to
the shoulders, where a row of tiny
pearls or paste holds up a point of
taffetas in front and another behind;
the in between parts of the bodice are
of transparent net or bare neck. All
the dress really lies in the skirt which
is series of graceful draperies end
ing in pointed train; and the charm
of the whole thing depends on the
way it is worn, the way the hair is
dressed, and the way in which the
complexion and shoulders tone in with
the silk of the dress. 1t is useless to
indulge in the creations of great dress
makers unles one is prepared to live
up to them in every detail: and 1t is
not a bad plan to begin with the de-
tails and finish with the creations
when dressing we'll has to play a
part of any Importance in a woman's

Paris is very brilliant just now. and
every day between and halfpast 6
the Place Vendome and the Rue de la
Paix are crowded with private motors
waiting while their owners have their
dresses lifted, their hats tried on, their
shoes adjusted, or their spirits re-
vived with tea and fresh strawberry
tarts. 1t is a revelation in feminine
luxury to see the favorite tearooms of
this neighborhood any fine afternoon
al this time of the year. Every little
Ia BILE is surrounded by women so richly
dressed that each one carries for
tune on her person. Her jewels her
laces, her feathers, her dress, and
every minor detail of her toilette are
absolutely perfect according to the
laws of fashion, and the more simple
the general effect. the more expensive
are the separate points
Frenchwomen are wearing all kinds
OF feathers, and the prices they pay
for them are stupendous. 1t is in vain
that humanitarians appeal to them on
the grounds of cruelty; nothing seems
powerful enough to wean the French
woman from her feathers. Yet it
would not be difficult to write verse
about the charm of the flower hats
especially the white ones which are
now the fashion; white satin with a
tight trimming of white aSterS, white
moire with grasses white taffetas with
water-lilies. and always in shapes that
are becoming. The drawback to the
white hats is that they need the right
complexion; otherwise they make a
tired face look more tired and a SAL
low skin look sallower. The main
point is not to have the white directly
on the hair and near the face, but a
line of black velvet under the brim
will generally put the whole thing in
tone.
The End of the Tight Skirt
We may write the obituary of the
tight skirt, for its day is done, and
that of the flowing one has dawned.
All the dressmakers are showing mod
els with killed tuniCs which are quite
though a narrow underskirt still pro-
tests against too much liberty for our
feet. But even in the case of the un-
1erskirt there are scollops which make
for width; where a month ago a slit
would show a stockinged leg, it now
discovers a satin underskirt. Waists
and hips are being swathed in broad
sashes, kotted closely either behind or
at the side. and the effect is a rounded
waitsline and slightly protruding hips,
not exaggerated, scarcely indicated in

bodice worn with these skirts is a

sometimes it buttons behind. some
