LA|lS|NC'S NOTE AND
SAFETYAT SEA LAW
Editor of Seamen's Journal
Points Out Moderate Fea-
lures of LaFollette Law.

Practically every human act is grist
to the trade unionists' mill in plead
ing the workers cause.
This is illustrated by Editor schar-
renberg of the Coast Seamen's Jour-
nal, who uses a decision of Secretary
of State Lansing to. support the sea-
mems law.
The federal premier, in his effort
to establish safety at sea, in these war
times, has declared that the placing
of American citizens in small boats
on the high seas is not regarded as
according them a place of safety"
within the meaning OF the term as
used in international law.
The alert sailor man, who edits the
Seamen's. Journal, makes this strong
point to justify the seamen's law:
If an open boat does not consti-
tute place of safety, what shall we
say Of. nation which, permits It's
ships to go to sea on the longest DOS.
slble voyages with only sufficient life
boats, to take IS per cent Of those on
board? And what shall we say when
shlps are permitted to go TO sea in
the coastWise trade and for traffic on
SAAN 81 lanes With SO rev. u1eDOatS
and RATS that, from 80 to SO per{Icent
OF those on board will be without
either in case Of accident? Z:
= '.After all, it does not matter what
we might say about. such a.; policx.
The fact remains that the .'unreasoi,.
liable safety requirements in the La
Toilette .seamen's act only call j. for
lifeboats to accommodate Is per cent
Of those aboard a vessel in the off
shore trade; and the same 'perni-
clous' law requires lifeboat accommo-
tdatton for a much smaller number
Tin some instances as low as 20 DER
cent? If the vessel is engaged in the
coastwise. trade" or in NAVIGATION on
the great lakes.
Secretary Lansing's definition of a.
place Of safety ought to be helpful
in strengthening the safety, features
In the seamen's law. If seat in a
! lifeboat is mot a place of safety it is
surely UNNECESSARILY. i safer than
standing room on raft - p. EIs
Boats for ALL is still an emf
nently proper and reasonable de.

Assistant Secretary of Labor
Would Instruct in soldiery
and in Trades,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-An army
that will prepare for peace as we'll as
for war.
An army that will develop civic as
. we'll as military spirit.
An army that will turn out, after
their period of enlistment, men fitted
not only to give efficient service if
called to their country's defense, but
prepared to step at once into the
ranks of skilled wage earners-pre-
pared to take an active part in devel-
oping the nations industries in peace
no less than in protecting them in
time of war.
Such an army is proposed by Louis
F. Post, assistant secretary OF labor.
"The present period of enlistment
in the United States army is four
years. Secretary Of War Garrison, by
tests made with infantry, cavalry and
artillery, has found that a proficient
soldier can be developed in one year
of training" says Post.
Three Years Are Wasted.
This means, then, that so far as
progress goes, the average soldier is
three years of service.
Most men enlist for military serv-
ice between Is and 23. After four
years in the army they are-so far as
earning a living outside the service
is concerned exactly where they
started. Those who wish to enter
civil life must start just where they
r left off four years before.
What I propose, if we must have
a large army for defensive purposes,
is to give an opportunity for the man
who expects to return to civil life to
utilize the last three years of his
service, in which he now makes little
or no advance in military efficiency,
in fitting himself to earn a better liv-
ing and to be a more efficient citizen.
For the man who expects to re-
main in the army I would offer a
wider opportunity for military stuoy
and training, with greater chances for
Advancement.
There is just one door for admis-
sion to the United Statess army. That
$ enlistment as private. My sug-
5estlon Is that all enlisted men, dur
ing their first year Of service, be given
intensive military training designed to
make of them efficient fighting men.
At the end Of the first year, at
which time they would be ready for
service in any defensive war, I would
have the men state whether, at the
expiration of their four years, they
expect to return to civil life or to con-
tinue in the army.
Would Learn Useful Trade,
To the men who planned to return
: to civilian life, training in almost
every skilled trade would be opened
and their last three years of service,
with the exception of certain periods
for drilling, would be spent in mas
uerlng useful occupation.
When their terms of enlistmen
Mere up.~these men. instead-.of .leav-
1n4S the army untitled to do anything
but fight, would be ready to step at
once into the ranks Of skilled wage
earners. They would be kept trace Of
however, for certain period, and
modified from time to time for drills

Put: [. ARMY ] TO WORK ! ] TX. !.
DECLARES: ENGINEER
80 '!st H'r - -
Novel Plan to Train Workers for
" soldiery Presented by Form
er Colorado Man.

H. G.. Travers, a mechanical en-
gineer, has worked out standing
army plan which, if accepted, would
afford this country, without waste Of
men and money, protection against
invasion by any foreign nation.
~ While living in Cripple Creek few
years ago, Travers served term with
the Colorado state militia, Since then
he has been thinking out his plan
whereby this county could secure
ADEQUATE protection and at the same
time do away with a great standing
army Of idle men, which has been
costing us $100,000,000 a year, even
in time Of peace.
Outlines New System.
Here is Travers' plan, as he de-
scribes it himself:
"The new system consists simply in
developing on a large scale the
method found so successful in build
ing the Panama canal-namely: place
the great reclamation projects, the
great road building schemes, the
great: 5Mississippi river Improvement,
and other great and much needed
public works under the control of the
United States army engineers.
."Give these: engineers an army Of
young men who can handle a pick
and shovel, live in the open, drive
trucks, and do such work and live
such life as that required of a SOL
dier
'soldiers will be enlisted with this
end in view from the very start: They
will constitute a vast Industrial army
under the control of the war depart
ment; there Will be important work
for every man from the officer down
to the rawest recruit: and all the mer,
being profitably employed, it will be
possible to maintain an army of
100000 or more with mere fraction
of the loss and waste common under
ou1 present SYSTEM.
Army Always Ready. ::
Our new industrial army will be
an efficient force, we'll trained, always
modified, always ready. It will be
made up of young fellows, accus-
toned to hard life in the open.
They will be accustomed to the
use of pick and shovel, to earth
works, to concrete construction, to
motor trucks, automobile tractors,
and other machinery.
They will be used to discipline, to
working in squads, both large and
small units. They will develop indi-
vidual initiative. il:
The officers will be men who can
really command, who as foremen, SUI
perintendents, and managers Of de-
partments have seen real field Service.
They will be officers who can take re-
sponsibility
"A balance wheel to national in
dustry can be created out of this in
dustrial army. The time is here when
something more effective than the
present methods must he provided to
cope with the problem of the unem-
ployed during periods Of business de-
preston.
THE new army system offers a
practical solution, for the same reason
that it solves the problems of great
public impr ovements.
