When the Workers. Quit.

To the number Of men under arms
adf. those engaged in making war mu-
'nitions except food and clothing
though great deal Of war clothing is
wasteful in that it Is used up far fast
or than If the wearers were in civil
occupation.
Economically considered, all these
men are idle, for they are producing
no wealth. For Great Britain their
number has been calculated at some
thing like half the total working popu-
ilation. The proportion is probably
about the same for tho other belliger-
ents, except Russia, where 1t Is some.
what lower.
Suppose something like half the
gainfully employed population OF tho
United States struck work, sat down
and twiddled their thumbs for two or
three years, being supported in idle
ness by the government during that
Iperiod. Suppose there was some de-
structlon OF real property by blowing
up bridges, throwing explosives into
factories, burning villages. Suppose
there was very high casualty and
mortality rate among the idlers. Our
economic position would then be about
like Europe's. Tho government would
be borrowing immense sums to sup
port It's millions OF pensioners, and our
problem would be to Offset the drain
as much as possible by levylng on
labor that is not normally employed
! iproductively-the surplus labor Of
women, children, the aged and the halt
and by economizing in all possible
ways.-Saturday Evening Post

;'wow!AN's ; HIGH PLACE
IT IS HERS BECAUSE SHE CAN
KEEP A SECRET.
miss Margaret M. Hanna is Ono OF
tho Most Trusted Employees In
Office Of the Department
Of State,

There i3 only one woman in the
United States who has knowledge OF
international events before they han.
pen. Her name is Margaret NJ. Hanna.
she is the confidential secretary and
assistant Of the second assistant secre.
'tary of state, Alvey A. Adee, who is
the only permanent official Of high
rank in the department.
no matter who may be the executive
mead OF the department, and regard.
less or whether the administration is
democratic or Republican, the course
OF the foreign Office is stccred by Mr..
Adee. All OF the diplomatic affairs
are managed by him. The complox
unwritten code called international
law is to him familiar in it's every par.
agraph, and he has all preccdents at
his fingers ends.
But 1t goes without saying that such
business involves an immense amount
OF detail. Which is where tho peculiar
and exceptional talent Of Miss Hanna
comes into play. Shc takes all that
part Of tho work of Mr.. Adoo's hands.
TO him she is like card catalogue to
a librarian-and quite a bit more, in
addition.
| Not until the present generation,
strange to say, was it discovered that
women arc the great systematizers Of
detail. Even the clevercst men are not
in tho samo class with them at that
sort Of thing. Hence tho fact that
nowadays many captains Of industry
prefer to employ as their confidential
secretaries women who, with special
capabilty in this line, know how to
relieve them Of all bother about tho
petty machinery OF their Office bust
ness. Thus they are at liberty to de-
vote their entire attention to affairs Of
major Importance.
] Such is tho function that Miss Han
na performs for the second assistant
secretary Of state. incidentally to her
duties shc helps to prepare many state
papers that arc in tho last degree con-
'fidental in character. She Is the custo-
dian OF many an important secret af-
fecting the welfare OF the country;
but, from her point OF view, this is
merely a part of the days work. She
forgets the secret automatically when
she leaves the office and goes home.
1t has often been said that a woman
cannot keep secret. Perhaps most
women cannot. Holding that belief
wrongly or rightly, the department OF
state prefers not to employ them in
confidential capacities. Too much Is
often at stake to make the taking Of
any risks advisable. But the rule Is
broken in Miss Hanna's case She
knows how to keep secret, and the
government Of the United States is
willing to bank on her reliability in
this regard.

JONES FOUND NOT GUILTY.
Anderson Man Cleared OF Murder

Charge.
Anderson, Nov. 19.-After delibcr-
ating about one hour the jury hearing
the Feastcr I. Jones murder case re-
turned verdict of not guilty at 1880
o'clock this afternoon. Judge Moore
warned the audience In advance
against any demonstration and the
verdict was received silently by a
packed court room.
Counsel and friends Of Jones seated
near by extended congratulations and
he then hurried to an Anderson bank
where his aunt, the widow Of DR.. IT,.
o. McCalla. for whose murder Jones
was tried, was awaiting him. He and
his aunt left the city in Mrs. Nc
Calais automobile for the McCalla
home at Starr.
The unwrittcn law was the plea,
Jones declaring that he killed DR..
McCalla because the latter invaded
the sanctity Of his home.
Jones Is nephew Of Mrs. McCalla
and Is her foster son.
The case was attended with great
deal of interest throughout the coun-
ty because OF the prominence and
wealth OF Jones and McCalla.

ATTEMPT TO DRAW
CHINA into FRAY
Allies Would Like to Have
Their Influence.
CHINA'S ATTITUDE
NOT YET DEVELOPED

OEiBliiIcu DuC many BcllCYC that
China Herself Is Responsible for In.
augurating the Move to Join with
the Allies in Great War.
1T became known that in order to
insure friendly relation between China
and Japan, conversatios and cx-
changes had been proceeding in Pc
king and the European capitals look
Ing to the formal entrance of China
on an equal footing with Japan into
the alliacc that now includes Great
Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Japan
and Serbia.
Military participation by China in
the war would not be expected but
the political necessity Of adding China
to the allies is looked upon by them
as OF vast Importance. 1t was learned
today that recently several Japanese
warships were placed at stretgic
points along the Chinese coast and
that the possibility Of internal revolu-
ton in China through the proposed
change from republic to parliamcn-
tary monarchy had caused some Jap
ancse officials to believe munitions of
war should be husbanded for emer--
gencies. When the recent Japanese
Chinese negotiations were In progress,
Japan similarly felt compelled to hold
mcnts, a circumstance that is known
to have embarrassed Russia consider
ably.
So far as is known here most OF the
conversations have boon conducted at
Pcking, and it is not clear how far
the proposal has been discussed with
the Japanese government at Toxic.
The belief is general, however, that
Great Britain, on account OF the obli-
cations OF her alliance with Japan,
probably has consulted the Toxic
government freely
China's attitude has not yet devcl
opcd but in some quarters here the
view Is held that the Pcking govern
mcnt is favorably inclined to the En-
guarantee the integrity Of China dur
ing the present disturbed conditions
Of world politics and safe guard her
interests at the peace conference. In
fact, some rumors have reached off,
cials recently that the plan actually
originated in China.
The feeling in China against Japan
has been growing on account Of the
recent negotiations and the possibility
that more friendly spirit might be
developed between the two Oriental
countries also is said to be a factor
in favor of Japanese approval of the
plan.
Secretary Lansing declined to COM
ment on the situation.
