The fuses multiplied at the ap-
preaching midnight and on the stroke

Several miles up the deep wide ditch
with II inches of chalky mud at it's
bottom, just far enough from the Ger
man line to permit tranquil sleep, SOL
diers entertained each other with SIM
pie folk songs of their home regions
and examined parcels from home and
talked of victory. One soldier read a
i little note from nome which said:
'This year it is I who play father.
This year I broke open my savings
bank and am sending presents to papa
at the front"
lThe soldier didn't explain who the
writer was, but his thick, coarse beard
! failed to hide a touching smile with
which he accepted the reversal Of
+ Christmas roles.

and they're shouting to beat all, but
it doesn't sound very gay
"Peace Through Victory"
Meanwhile the impromptu concert in
the trenches went on in tones that
were light, gay and confident. The
same phrase was heard in all the
toasts given here. 1t was Peace
through victory"
A little farther from the trenches
in a bombarded barn covered by an
improvised roof the midnight watch
was preceded by a concert in which
the soldiers who joked the military on
I the stage in peace times reversed the
order OF things and with the greatest
zest caricatured the civilian behind the
zone occupied by the armies,

CATION. Officers, including generals,
co,onels, captains and lieutenants,
with sprinkling of civilians and many
women, were in attendance.
As in the quarters of the soldiers
near the trenches everything in the
attitude of the service brought cut the
same note: peace through victory.
A chaplain with the red ribbon of the
Legion of Honor on his surplice, who

A stretcher bearer with a military
medal and. a grenadier with war

anthem to the accompaniment of the
modest old organ played by simple
soldier with such a master hand that
the strains were quite as aspiring as
the best cathedral music. The last
notes, Peace on earth, good will to-

CATION was filing out of the little
church, while in the distance the boom
ing of cannon recalled "No truce for

ORGANIZED LABOR
WAGE FARMERS GREAT
EST PROTECTION

Philadelphia, May 6.-Organ-
lied labor has been the wage
earners' greatest protection in
the crisis that has come to Amer
ica's industry and labor through
the European War, in the opin-
ion of Samuel Gompers, Presi-
dent OF the American Federation
of Labor, who addressed the
American Academy of Polictical
and Social Science here recently.
The initiative, resourceful-
ness and self-reliance Of the
wage earners expressed in the
organized labor movement have
been their geratest protection,
mir. Gompers said. Through
organization they have dealt con-
structively with unemployment,
have made effective protest
against excessive prices, have
prevented wage reductions that
would have had cumulative eff
feet in disorganizing business,
and have demanded that con-
struction work by municipalities
and other governmental author
tiles shall be continued and more
undertaken wherever possible.
Civilizations pu rpose an d
IDEALS, Mr.. Gompers asserted,
had been ruthlessly reversed by
the European war. The spirit
of civilization ha dbeen to estab-
fish the sacredness of human
life: in an isstant war had turned
the thought, the energy, the skill
that had been to glorify life to
the task of destroying life.
"The labor movement of the
world" Mr.. Gompers continued,
as the one agency whose men,
bers have been loyal to father
lands in the time of peril and yet
have with insistent emphasis and
appeal upheld the sacredness of
human life and opportunity and
the brotherhood of man. While
bearing burdens of the war they
are still maintaining standards
that dignity human life and are
creating and directing influences
that will have an important part
in establishing peace and the
constructive work that shall
make for greater justice in inter-
national relations.

WOULD RESTRICT
IMMIGRATION TO SUIT I
COUNTRY'S NEEDS

Philadelphia, May 6.-Let
the government ascertain what
immigration America will need
to work the country's mills and
shops and mines when the great
industrial revival starts at the
close OF the European War; and
having ascertained the country's
needs, restrict immigration to fit
them-such was the plan out
line here before the American
Academy of Political and Social
Science by DR.. Frank Warne,
expert on foreign-born popula-
ton for the last United States
census. author and authority on
immigration.
DR.. Warne's plan provides for
the creation, by federal legisla-
ton, of the governmental ma
chinery necessary to make a
measurement of American immi-
grafton needs for the revival of
industrialism, which, he said. "is
Just around the corner" The
body-board or commission or
otherwise-thus created by the
federal government, should CO.
operate with now existing state
and private employment bu-
reaus. And the needed immi-
grants hould be employed at
standard American wages.
"The demand being thus as
certained," DR.. Warne said, "the
supply can be regulated to this
measurement through already
existing administrative machin-
cry. In this way, the present
haphazard system which invari-
ably operates to produce an
over-supply of this labor in all
our industrial centers can be CO.
ordinated and made to work for
our common god instead of, as
now, to our social injury.
Already we have the nucleus
around which this machinery can
be built. This is the Division Of
Information of the Bureau Of
immigration of the Department
of Labor. In addition to its re-
organization along the lines in
dicated. it should be given super

EXCHANGE GAINS
FRIENDS.

The Florida Citrus exchange
is stronger today than ever be-
fore. 1t has done really remark
ably things this season in view
of the small proportion OF fruit
which it handled in the early
part and considering the indus
trial depression. There have
been mistakes in its policy, Of
course, but these mostly have
been corrected and the organi'
zation never was in such splen-
did shape to efficiently serve the
growers Of Florida. The ex-
change idea is gaining friends
throughout the state and that
idea is cooperation. 1t also
makes possible to advertise the
Florida orange and grapefruit
and through national advertis-
ing alone will we create a de-
mand for the great amount OF
grapefruit that is being produced
in the state. There are yet
about 10000, 900 people who will
have to be educated to eat the

Considering the character of
the men at the head of the Flor
ida Citrus Exchange, How can
the organization fail to forge
ahead and prove an annually
greater blessing to Florida
growers?

The United States as we'll as
the whole world has suffered
through the disrupting influence
of the war. In the United States
the organized labor movement
has dealt constructively with the
needs and emergencies created
b ythe war.
The effectiveness of organ
lied self-help has been empha-
sized by the inarticulate helpless
misery Of the unorganizd.
The organized labor move
ment is planning to protect the
wage-earners against the tide OF
immigration OF unparalleled pro-
tections that undoubtedly will
follow the war. 1t will be the
great steadying force in the tran
sition period through which in
dustry must pass at the close of
the war. 1t will be the great OPP
posing force to reaction that al
ways reults from the brutalizing
influences of war. 1t will be the
most protent force to compel re-
lations that subordinate all else
to human warfare.
The wiset policy our nation
can persue is to provide and to
guarantee opportunities for
wage earners to organize for
for their own protection and
welfare, which must have bene-
hcent influence upon all our peo-
pie"

WARNING GIVEN TO GIRLS
WAS FULLY ENDORSED


of directors of the State Fedora
ton Of Women's clubs, held at
Dade City. on Tuesday and
Wednesday Of this week, action
was taken calculated to dissuade
young women from going to San
Francisco. to seek employment.
At this meeting there was read
a warning, received from the
General Federation, prepared by
the San Francisco club ladies'.
The warning has been forward
ed to every State Federation and
disseminated to the various
clubs in all states. 1t was urg-
ed that the warning be endorsed
and given as much publicity as
possible. The St. Petersburg
delegates at this meeting were
Mrs. Merrell and Mrs. Loehr.
The board. in session, endors-
ed the warning and it is here
with published as read at Dade
City.
"The women of San Francisco
are determined to prevent the
letting of portion of the fair
ground for the purpose of estab-
fishing houses of prostitution
and are doing all in their power
to stay the evil.
However this controversy
ends, one thing must be remem-
bered, the vice that sacrifices the
girlhood and boy hood of the
country, and brings contamina-
ton upon innocent wives and
children-that inteds to flourish
. somewhere during the worlds
far.
Let it be remembered that
the country will be secured for
girls to supply the demand for
this nefarious business, and ev-
cry meals that is possible will
be used to snare and mislead
girls. in order to secure them.
Every girl should be warned
against advertisements of posi-
lions in San Francisco, for every
lace that is worth while will be
taken If not already, and the
door that will be open for the
strange girl will be the door that
leads to perdition
"All girls who will or must go
to San Francisco, should go un-
der the care and protection of
the Travellers Aid Society of Cal
ifornia.
The papers that do their duty
to the nation will publish the
warning, and women of every
town and city who would protect
the youth of the land, will sound
the alarm and caution and guard
the girls Of their neighborhood.'
Matrons Are Wanted.
Another matter discussed at
length and endorsed most hearth
" was the proposition to ask the
railroad penetrating the resort
towns to furnish suitable ma
irons at all stations, to look after
young girls, and ladies travelling
alone and women with small
children, who are more or less
dependent.

an amusement ground for track and

at the entrance to the grounds will
remain and in fact all the old beau
ties Of the famous track will be kept
intact. When completed, the Sleeps
head park is going to be a great

have to do to be convinced of
this is to remember that this is
not the millennium; that the Uni

development of its material re-
sources; that they are here in
such abundance as to give us
wealth beyond human compre-
, hcnsion; that there is tomor-
row when the enormous amount
OF capital now being destroyed
will be replaced; and that this
country even under the stress of
