"a NEARLY CLAIMS
ANOTHER VICTIM

Honolulu dispatch says that while
working at a depth of 220 feet out
side the harbor, where attempts are
being made to raise the submarine
F-4. Diver William F. Loughman be-
came entangled in the lines attached
to the submarine Saturday morning
but was released after heroic efforts
lasting nearly four hours.
Loughman was being brought slow
" to the surface and was rested at a
depth of 80 feet to avoid the too rapid
change OF air pressure.
Loughman was lowered shortly af-
ter 10 a. m., and was being brought
to the surface when he became en-
tangled.
Diver Frank Crilly, who recently
made a record for deep sea diving,
was hastily sent down to aid Lough-
man. Both divers worked strenuousIy
to dtsengage the lines to the subma.
rine from the air tube and line at
tached TO Loughman's apparatus.
Crilly was brought up first, emerg.
ine a few minutes after 2 O'Clock. 1t
was said that he had suffered no ser.
ious effects but that he was exhaust
ed from his hard work.
Naval officers said Crilly's feat of
releasing Loughman was remarkable.
Such accidents as befell Loughman
could not be prevented, 1t was assert
ed, when divers were working at a
great depth.

THE WORLDWIDE
WAR TRUST

(By. Cong. Clyde II. Tavenner)
Is there no way whatever, it may
be asked, b. which the people can pro-
tect themselves from the greed of the
war trust magnates? Yes; Just one
way. That is by the government TAX
ing the profit out OF war and prepara-
ton for war by manufacturing all of
It's own munitions, armor, cannon, and
battleships. Both Washington and
Lincoln advocated the naturalization
or the manufacture of war munitions
as sound public policy. Government
manufacture as a policy need have
no hearing whatever or the question
OF whether we shall have a large or
small navy. Those who advocate gov
eminent manufacture of all war equip
ment are not so much concerned for
the present whether we build one or
more battleships a year, so long as
the government does the manufactur-
ing, because. then, for every dollar
congress appropriates for battleships
the people will receive a dollars
worth OF battleship.
If the government will manufacture
all OF rs own war materials, millions
of dJilars will be saved annually to
the taxpayers as a result of the al
ready demonstrated ability of Uncle
Sam to manufacture at a cost much
below the prices of the war trust,
as ] shall show. Government man.
ufacture will mean that the workmen
who perform the labor of actually
making the munitions will receive
higher. wages and better working con-
ditions than the employees Of the ring
OF private contractors receive, as
these firms number among them the
most bitter enemies of organized
labor In the United States, working
81 per cent of their employees IL hours
a day, according to a report OF the
United States Bureau of Labor made,
just after an investigation in 1910.
Fortunate indeed would It be for
this Nation today IL the government
had monopoly of the manufacture
OF all munitions Of war. 1t is not the
average American, the man who will
be required to do the fighting and pay
the bills IL we become embroiled in
