works in particular and German
military acceleration in general.
The Diary of the great surrender

two entries. which practically COW

Cabinet proves that the enormous
acceleration in Germany for pro-
ducing ornaments, about which
he had perpetually warned the
Admiralty, was an accomplished
fact, and that large quantities of
naval guns and mountings were
being made with great rapidity
in that country.

it was practically admitted by the
British Government to have been

DAYS COMING
Period Of Stress Ahead Of the
American Worker.
Labor Day an Excellent Time to
Think Of the Future That Must
Be the Result Of the War
- In Europe. -,., ..,..

Every American, whether he works
with his hands or with his head, will
take full advantage of Labor day, the
last Of the summer holidays; every,
one will appreciate the fact that there
is a long period of work ahead of him.
This fall and winter is sure to be
a time of readjustment in many lines
Of American commerce and labor, due
to the European war, which not. only
shuts of some OF the things we buy,
but is filling Dur warehouses with
many Of the things we sell. How to
manage without the particular things
we have always imported and how to
get a market for the things Europe
cannot buy must engage u serious
attention for months, perhaps for
years. There may be some failures in
the effort to readjust, but there will
be more successes, and great ones No
doubt about the future need be in the.
heart Of anyone.
The best thing about the whole sit
uation is the stout heart Of the bust
ness world and the people in general.
They enter upon a combat with IN
certainties with the old Yankee con-
6dence, backed by the knowledge that
in the fundamental items Of physical
life we are safe. We can feed our
selves, clothe ourselves, warm our
selve. The rest is only a matter of
time and adjustment. There will be
40 hard times If the hard work is
we'll tackled.
Business must not wait until the
war is over" for nobody knows when
that blessed day will. be. If we are
prepared for a long war, so much the
more prosperity If the val is brief.
1t is a splendid time for every
American, from the housewife to the
capitalist, to study American econo
mics and get a better knowledge Of
values.

Get it fixed in your mind that skin

DEMAND IS FOR SERVICE
Public Ideas Have Had a Significant
Change In a Comparatively
Few Years. +,

When the French aristocrat before
the great revolution was asked as to
his chief service to society, he replied,
ITO have been born" He felt that his
mere presence in the world conferred
an honor on his country.
That has been the attitude Of privi-
legged classes of all time. But a new
ideal has come into mems minds-the
ideal of labor, of service to the COM
munity. Today the public is constant
'ly asking men to justify their income.
What have you done to deserve it?' is
the question. by what servire to So
ciety have you earned your money"
1t used to be considered perfectly
proper to water the stock of great pub
lie service corporations. But now peo-
pie have come to see this means to
get an income without working for it,
and public sentiment is shutting of
the practice.
Melon cutting in connection with
franchise grabs was once popular. But
it became apparent that this was mere
ly M way Of getting something for
nothing, and the day of mel0n cutting
is done.
So, all up and down the line the de-
mand has come for service In return
for income. Society is willing to write
Its note for pretty nearly any amount
to the energetic man, but it insists that
the payment shall be for value r.
ceived.

Celebrating Labor Day.

That Labor day has gradually been
given over almost wholly to sport and
recreation is a cheering evolution.
Crowded stands at the baseball parks,
packed excursion trains and steamers,
full bathing beaches, teeming parks,

ters on Labor day bespeak a prosper
Gus and contented country. Were nen

MUST GO TOGETHER
Labor and Capital in the Same

Harness. ;
Enormous Possibilities Of the Situa.
ton Before the Country Should Be
Recognized by Employers -,
and Workers Alike. .

Labor day is at hand, and it carries
suggestions to both labor and capital
Of the greatest importance. Not since
the celebration was established, not
since labor first organized in this
country to advance and protect its in
terest, has a situation existed so prom
lsing for ell that American industry
and capital represent. ... !. !
Leaders of all grades and kinds

leaders in politics-all see before this

The times and tendencies, we are
scheduled as a people for. activities On
an enormous scale. New markets
await US. Old markets will be de-
manded more than they have been
receiving from US. A boom era for
America is coming.
1t is to the interests OF all that the
opportunities be improved to the full.
But all must help. To get the proper
result there must be what the presi-
dent calls team work.. Eoth labor
and capital must keep in trim and on
terms. They must pull together. 9th
erwise, both, and all, will suffer. loss.
Organized labor is often compli.
mented, and deserves the tribute paid.
It has made its share Of mistakes. In
not every case has it been fortunate
In it's leadership. 4
But it has steadily and successfully
resisted socialism, and worse, and
kept as it's principal purpose the true
welfare Of men who work with their
hands. It has contributed to the es-
tablishment of homes, to, the filling Of
savings banks, and to an improved
general condition of those needing to
be buoyeds and encouraged in the
struggle Of life. ,
We start, then, on this new Journey
with labor in good fettle, strong in
numbers, likewise in capital, though
now inactive, abundant for the annual
occasion. Both factors In the equa-
ton are equal to their duties, and
have only to put their shoulders to
the wheel in good earnest and keep
steadily on the push.
There may be some exaggeration in
the picture we are all studying. There
may not be in store for US all
promised. Europe will recover from
her %prostration and losses, and then
u,o shall oopfror% onr o1d rivals oooin
And when in condition they are not
easily handled.
But, allowing flor that; the immedi-
ate future in America should show
two wheels turning where one has
hitherto turned, two pay envelopes,
we'll filled, handed out where only one
has hitherto found its owner, and divi.
dends on investments large, satisfying

GUNMEN ATTEMPT TO SHOOT UP

accused of firing more than 80 shots
at the mnebers of a 500 freight train

The conductor told the men to keep
off, was greeted with the response
that if he attempted to keep them off
it would be his last act.
The train was backed down the
track some distance under the preteXt
CT switching and then was speeded
forward. AS it passed the point where
the gunner were standing a fusilade
CT shots was fired. Bullets passed
through the windows of the engine
cab and through the caboose, but
none of the train crew was hurt. The
bandits also attempted to puncture
the air.brake nose between the cars,
but failed. l.t2
Arriving at the next station the
crew notified the authorities, who
soon rounded UP the men. They are
now in the jamestown Jail.

was thinner and whittier, its flesh was
