new APPRENTICESHIP
SYST N Announced
PuSey & Jones Co. Offers
Substantial Aid to Young
Men in Its Employ
NIGHT TRAINING
is INCLUDED

A unique apprenticeship system has
been adopted by the Pusey and Jones
Company, through which opportuni-
ties will be opened to young men Of
all the departments, including the
machine shops, tool rooms, foundries,
pattern shop, shipbuilding, steel
work, carpenter work, pipe fitting.
sheet metal work, painting and draw
ing. Two classes of boys will be ac-
cepted under this system, boys under
IS years of age who will work for a
period Of four years or less as regu-
lar apprentices, and those who are
too old to be accepted in this class
and who will be styled special ap-
prentices.
In order to insure proper attention
being given the boys. no more than
10 per cent. OF the number Of work
men in any department may be ap-
prentices The boys will be advanced
every six months and apprenticeship
PAPERS will be executed by the COM
many officials Reports OF the work
done and the quality Of service rend-
cred will be made monthly and hand
ed to the parents or guardians of the
apprentices that they may know how
the boys are progressing. The work
Of each boy will be changed every
six months. and if his progress IS
shown to have been satisfactory, his
pay will be increased. At the end
OF a four-year apprenticeship each
apprentice will receive q cash bonus.
The plan provides full wages each
week for each apprentice even
though time may be lost on account
OF holidays or leaves Of absence
which do not exceed twelve days a
year. Overtime work will be paid
for. Any apprentices who may de
sire to attend night school will be
given free scholarship by the com
pany. but these will be i'm force only
so long as satisfactory reports as to
attendance are received. In addition
to the school feature of the new
scheme, the company intends to have
at least one lecture by a competent
authority delivered each month
which may be attended by the ap
prentices and other employees.
Library books. magazines and engi
neering data viii always be available
for the use of the apprentices anc
will be found in a room set apart fol
the purpose Those of the appren
tees who attend night school and
whose reports indicate ability will b'
given opportunity to enter the com
pany's drawing room.
At the termination of the appren
ticeship all journeymen will be a
liberty to accept employment else
where II they so desire. The com
pany hopes that the men so laugh
and trained in its shops will remail
in it's employ, but nothing will b.
done to hinder the men obtaining
work elsewhere, and assistance vii
be given them to attain that object.

subject OF the Secretary at
War. Brigadier General e. II.
Crowder. Judge advocate general
of the army, has held that all OF
the National Guard now i'm the
Federal service are entitled to
all benefits OF the pension laws.
He refralns from entering into
details.
It is true that the National
Guard has not been drafted"
technically although authority
TO draft II has ben granted
specifically by Congress: but
the inference is irresistible that,
in the opinion OF the law author
ity OF the War Department. the
requirements OF the pension
laws as TO war conditions have
been met.
CPresent Limited WARP
Obviously the present is a limit
ed war, growing more limited
every day. but still war within the
meaning Of the Federal statutes.
But. whether the National

istratiou's successive denials, are

and despite all the quibbling and
raising Of technical questions. OBJ
viously they have been modified
for some purpose. They were
needed for defensive action OF
they were not needed at all.
At the very beginning Of the
Democratic Administration a far
seeing element among the men Of
the country pointed out that the
situation In Mexico was so serious
that the military forces OF the ma
ton should be extended promptly
to meet a possible. even probable
emergency. Standing firmly he
hind the little army" men in Con-
gress. President Wilson fouted all
such advice and held up to ridi-
Guile those who gave Il.
Belatedly he was forced to
change his views. Caught unpre-
pared as the result OF his own
folly. he began TO advocate MILL
tary preparedness. The results
Of three wasted years became APP

more soldiers than It had BY

That army is gradually coming

lion dollars is now being asked as
the price OF this National Guard
operation All this constitutes one
answer to the common question,
"why has the National Guard been
sent to the borders"
There is only one other pos

Robert S. BrookingS EStab-

DONOR IS WEALTHY ST.
LOUIS BUSINESS MAN

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK. Sept 11.-Robert S.
Brookings, of ST. Louis, native of
Cecil county, Nd. has established in
Delaware College a loan fund for
worthy students from Cecil county.
This gift will open the door of OPP
portunity to many young men strug-
Cling for an education. Such an in
yestment in manhood is perhaps the
one that brings the largest returns in
human value
This loan fund will strengthen the
bond between Cecil county and Della
ware College, a bond which has ex-
listed since the foundation of the col
lege and which has grown closer
through the decades. The delegation
Of students which Cecil county has
sent to Delaware College is uniformly
one of the best prepared and most in
spring to be found in the college.
The loan fund for Delaware stu
dents was established last year
through the leadership of Josiah Mar
vel, of Wilmington, who placed the
fund on a legal, permanent basis that
.insures its success. It was a knowl-
edge of the services that this fund is
rendering Delaware boys that inspired
Mr.. Brookings to establish a similar
loan fund for students from Cecil
county.
Robert S. Bookings was educated
at the West Nottingham Academy in
Cecil county, Md. Besides his large
business interests he is president of
the board of trustees of Washington
University, ST. Louis. In this capacity
he has succeeded in interesting many
citizens to contribute funds necessary
to practically rebound the university,
involving new site of more than 100

POINTSOUT THAT COST

WASHINGTON, sept. 1.-The first
attack by the Republican National Com
mittee upon the policy of the Wilson
administration, which has kept the Ma
tional Guard in the Federal service and
on the border, when no state of war
exists, was issued last night from the
committees headquarters. That pon-
tics is responsible for the situation Is
charged.
Under the title, "Are we at WARP the
Republican committee analyses the situ-
alton. The fact that a few regiments
of the National Guard were ordered re-
turned To their States last week is de-
clared to have been offset by Secretary
of War Bakers orders, which sent the
militia OF Kentucky, Ohio and Vermont
to the border
According to a report which Secretary
Baker sent TO Congress, a number in eA-
cess of con National Guardsmen
now arc in the Federal service on the
Mexican border and in the State mo-
bilization camps. The committees re-
port continues
President Wilson and Secretary
Baker have denied that these men,
taken from civil employment Mt
considerable economic loss to
American industry, at a huge fnan-
cial cost 10 the nation and at great
individual sacrifice, have been called
ont for war; President Wilson and
Secretary Baker also have denied
that the men have been called ont
merely for training purposes
The President says they "are
performing patriotic duty" The
Secretary of War saws they are
performing a valuable service and
the fact that this service is being
performed without active military
operations entailing loss of life TO
our soldiers is a cause of congratu-
lation and happiness

But both are quite insistont
that it Is not war service that is
being performed. Section 112 OF

in the spirit of highest resolve and q

endeavor to lift the character OF her
