Is 1t Worth While?

Is it worth while that we jostle a brother
Bearing his load on the rough road OF
life?
Is it worth while that we jest at each
other
In blackness of heart-that we war to
the knife?
God pity us in our pitiful strife.
God pity US all as we jostle each other;
God pardon us all for the triumphs we
feel
When a fellow goes down; poor heart
broken brother,
Pierced to the heart; words are keener
than steel,
And mightier far for woe or for veal.
Were it not well in this brief little jour
ney,
On over the isthnus, down into the tide,
That we give him a fish instead Of a
serpent
Ere folding the hands to be and abide
For ever and aye in dust at his side.
Look at the roses saluting each other;
Look at the herds all at peace on the
plain,
Man, and man only. makes war on his
brother,
And dotes in his heart on his peril and
pain
Shamed by the brutes that go down on
the plain.

AT LEAST $4,000 MEN
LABOR IN KRUPP'S WORKS.
Miohtiest Organization of War In the
World Built on Trade Secrets.

Krupp's is more than the greatest
war factory in the world. 1t is the
mightiest single Industrial OrganiZa-
ton that has ever existed. Never in
any Industrial center has there been
anything like the stupendOus concen-
trated activity that now reigns in Els
sen, the Westphalian city that has
grown up round the great works, says
Reynolds Weekly of London. Essen is
Newcastle and Sheffield and Barrow-in-
Furness rolled into one, and more.
Before the war the company en-
ployed more than 10000 men. About
10000 were engaged in the gigantic
steel works at Essen, where the a.
centimeter monsters come from, and
where daily there streams forth ire
mendous volume of guns and munitions
for Germany's armies. Ten thousand
men were digging for coal in their
mines in Germany. Fifteen thousand
toiled at their rolling mills at Amen
and Grusen and the blast furnaces Of
Rheinhausen, Duisburg, Neuwied and
Engers. An army of 1000 was engaged
in their shipbuilding yard at Kiel, and
5000 miners dug ore in Spain.
Day and night in Essen work goes
on without ceaSing. In the great works
spread over 1900 acres, 235 of them
under roof, at least $4,000 men toll in
shifts Of eight hours each. Some six
ty factories make up the organization.
Forty miles of standard railway link
them together and carry their products
out Thirty miles of narrow lines are
required as auxiliary for the shops.
More than $50 miles of cable and wire
and over 600 telephone stations and
twenty telegraph stations are needed to
facilitate communication throughout
the works. There are more than 300
steam boilers to generate the steam for
the 1900 different machines and 1924
electric motors at work.
And the whole gigantic concern has
sprung from q humble cottage factory
with six Workmen. Essen was filthy,
poverty stricken little hole of a town
a century ago. when the Krupp firm
was in its beginnings Today it has
more than 100000 inhabitants and is
one of the finest towns in Germany.

rate and pay if he is faithful and in
dustrious and with possibility of pro-
motion to the rank Of commissioned
officer.
Secretary Daniels has made the naval
service an institution attractive to any
clean cut, self respecting American
youth, and by raising the standard of
it's personnel it is evident he has also
increased the efficiency Of the navy IN
tho same proportion.
So, again, do l say to the critics: Give
credit where credit is due and use your
little hammer with more discrimina-
ton. The present administration is do
ing all it reasonably can to keep the
navy abreast with the ever increasing
demands of efficiency and adequacy.
We lack battle cruisers, it is true, but
this is due to the shOrtsightedness of
former administrations With this sim
gle exception our navy today is ex-
celled by no other navy so far as num-
Der of ships, organization of fighting
units and the esprit de corps of it's
personnel is concerned.
1t is well, therefore, not to take too
seriously irrelevant statements made
about the unpreparedness of the navy
by men who have their own axes to
grind and who seem to delight in en-
barrassing the administration at a time
when it should have the backing and
support Of every patriotic and loyal
citizen.

Prisoner Offers to Make Money Safe

Prisoner Offers to Make Money Safe
In Return For Liberty.
If the claims of Peter Feldkamp, now
a prisoner in the Wayne county (Nlich.)
Jail under a seventeen year sentence
to Fort Leavenworth for counterfeit
ing, are correct. he may be the means
of revolutionizing the entire issue of
United States paper money.
Feldkamp wrote to Secretary of the
Treasury N1cAdoo offering in exchange
for his liberty and a job with the treas
ury department a chemical secret he
had discovered which, according to
him, will make counterfeiting impos-
sible.
Feldkamp is a photographer and an
amateur chemist of no slight attain
ments. While experimenting in raising
one dollar bills to ten dollar ones he
stumbled on his process, which since
his arrest, he asserts, he has perfected.
Feldkamp'S process so colOrS the bill
that it cannot be bleached and thus
haltS evildOers from making even the
paper. Even with the paper they
would still be up against a stone WALL
unable to duplicate his tint.
That the Washington authorities are
taking Feldkamp's assertions seriously
head OF the treasury department at De
troit, has been instructed to interview
Feldkamp.

"COFFIN NAILS" ORDERED
FOR ARMIES OF THE ALLIES.
400, 100000 Cigarettes Must Be Deliv-
cred by Sept. 1.

The allies have signed contract
with a large American manufacturing
firm for 4OO,O0OOO0 coffin nails" They
are not metal nails to tack up collins
with, however. but are the good old
coffin nails of the text books on
physiology, the same old ''coffin nails"
dear Aunt Maria warns small Billy
about.
The 4OO,OOOOOO cigarettes are to be
delivered to the allies on or before
Sept. /. The order will keep the factory
handling it busy night and day, it is
stated. In order to get the smokes"
completed on time the factory will
have to turn out cigarettes at the rate
of 100000 day, or about 1000 for
every minute of the day. which is
'goin' some.' every man who rolls his
own" will admit.
If the allies smoke the cigarettes at
the rate of manufacture. a cloud of
smoke forty feet high should engulf
the German empire. statisticianS figure
out
Four hundred million cigarettes
would form a tobacco bridge covering
the Bug river from bank to bank from
source to mouth. The papers" used
would carpet Europe as with white
pail. If laid end to end those 100000
900 cigarettes would stretch from Paris
to Berlin and from Berlin to Paris
nineteen times.

100000 A MONTH IS SENT
TO BELGIUM.

Whereas Edward J. Williams,
the treasurer who disbursed the
funds to meet the cost of the con-
struction of the Panama canal.
paid out 100000 per month on
the average during the years
19O5-13, he, as assistant treasurer
of the commission for relief in
Belgium, has been distributing
100000 per month since the
German occupation became eff
fective, says the Chicago Chris
tan Advocate. The economy
with which this fund has been
administered by the commission
and its splendid system of dis
tributing food, regularly, prompt
ly and economically, suggests to
William B. Parker. the official
historian of the commission, that
we have here a practical Illus
tration of how successful col
lective marketing for an entire
nation may be.
