CURRENT THINKING
suPERANNUArIoN AND PENSION
-~SO$$~

In his annual report Secretary Red
field Of the department OF commerce
speaks favorably OF pensions for per-
sons who have grown old in the SER
vice of the government.
I'm spite of the occasional loss OF
aged employees, due usually to death
or resignation" says the secretary.
'superannuation still increases, thus
accentuating the disadvantages OF
an impaired service, the discourage
ment Of retarded rate OF promotion
for young and deserving employees
and the feeling OF unrest and per-
haps dismissal by those who are
aware of the fact that the best SER
vice they are able. to render does not
reach the average standard of the
younger employees OF the same class
and grade.
while superannuation probably
exists, 1t has been found difficult un-
der present conditions to obtain ad-
missions of the actual conditions from
the higher officials under whom aged
employees serve.
Naturally, so far as may conscl.
entiously be done, officials are reluct-
ant to make any statement which
might lead to the separation from the
service OF those who have given the
best years of their lives to the gov
ernment and who, II deprived of their
income, would face poverty and want.
'In both governmental and COM
mercial centers retirement on some
ystem of pensions for superannuated
employees is becoming more generally
recognized as both a practical and
profitable movement. That such poll
icy can be carried out by the gov
eminent so as TO be ultimately a
means Of economy seems to have
been demonstrated

is known that the allies are consider
ing the advisability Of declaring food

The steamship Wilhelmina, which

furnish an important test case. The
British government announced before
the vessel sailed Jan. 22 that no at
tempt would be made to interfere

accordance with international law
which declares that food is not con-
traband unless intended for the arm
ed forces of the enemy. Now that the
German government itself becomes the
owner OF all foodstuffs within its do
minions there can be no way to dis
tingulsh between shipments intended
for the consumption OF civilians and
those intended for the armed forces
Consequently the allies may take the
position that every bit of food bound
for Germany is contraband.
Even IL the allies take this action

STUDY YOUR CAESAR" !"
tThe st. Joseph Gazette.l

(The ST. Joseph Gazette.)
Students who are studying Caesars
Commentaries on the Gallo War"
may find a new interest in their
work II they will compare Caesars
war with the Belgae. the ancient Bel
CLANS, with the war going on over the
same ground now. Julius Caesar. the
first kaiser ("kaiser and "czar" are
simply corruptions of "Caesar') tells
in his second book how reports
reached him OF an allied Belgian
confederacy against the Roumanian
people. The reasons given we're fear
that the Romans would attack them,
instigated by the Gauls (the modern
French), and the desire to strike
first.
Thus almost two thousand years
ago kaiser led his armies to battle
against the Belgae and their allies
over almost the same ground that the
Germans and the allies are fighting
now. Some OF Caesars battle lines
were almost identical with those OF
General Joffre in the last month.
Many of the names in Caesar have
become familiar now. The Marne,
the Axona and the Isara (the Aisne
and the Oise) and other river names
bring up the same locations as those
of the contending armies now.
Amiens, Rheims, Scissors (the
Suessions) and Maubeuge are all
common, under slightly different
forms, in Caesars writings. Near
Maubeuge Caesar fought his most des-
perate battle. His opponents here
were the Nervll the most warlike
members of the Belgian confederacy.
and at one time they actually had
possession of Caesars camp. The
daring leadership OF Caesar and
the timely arrival OF reinforcements
enabled him to turn defeat into VIC
tory when everything seemed lost.
The Belgians concentrated their re-
naming armies at the junction OF the
Sambre and the Meuse, that Is, at
Namur. This place, Caesar says:
"They have fortified with very lofty
double wall, and besides they had
placed stones of great weight and
sharpened stakes ancient barbed
wire upon the walls" But Namur
fell then before Caesars towers and
battering rams Just as 1t fell this time
before the great guns OF the Ger
mans.
The inhabitants sued for peace, and
said that It could only be by divine

machines could be used with 80 great
