measure last night. despite the night
waged by small number OF members

During the debate Fitzgerald. OF New

Mr.. Webb suggested that Mr.. Fitz-

look after the welfare of the chlld

Provisions of the Bill.
The bill makes 1t unlawful for any
producer or dealer to ship in interstate
commerce mine or quarry products
made by children under sixteen years
OF age; manufactured products by child
rem under fourteen. or by children un-
der sixteen employed more than eight

Responsibility for obedience to the
law Is put upon the shipper rather than
the common carrier. The House Com
mittee on Labor reported that the bill
would be more effective If the shippers
were held accountable for the shipment
of child-made goods. The Department
of Labor, in conjunction with State and
Federal courts. is given authority to
enforce the law, and the Attorney Cen
eral, the Secretary of Commerce. and
the Secretary of Labor are constituted
a board to draft regulations to put the
law into effect.

Laundry Marks In Europe.

Laundry marks vary greatly ia Eu-
rope. Those used in Britain consist
OF certain small letters or figures stitch
ed in red thread. Not all continental
laundries are so considerable. In some
parts of France linen is defaced by
having the whole name and address
of the laundry stamped upon it and an
additional geometrical design to indi-
cate the owner.
In Bavaria every piece has number
stamped on In large characters. In
other parts of Germany a small cotton
label is attached by means of wa
terproof (hoU adhesive. In Bulgaria
each laundry has large number Of
stamps engraved with designs, and In
Russia the laundries mark linen with
threads worked in arrow shapes.
In some Russian towns the police pc.
riodically issue regulations for laun-
dries. while in Odessa books of marks
are furnished annually to the laundry
and these marks and no
others may be used. BY this system
criminals and revolutionary agitators
are often traced.--London Mail.

President Wilson's cordial reception in

help to scatter faith in the imaginary
racial divisions of America.

know, and patriotic enough to approve
the plans for increasing their country's

largely from sons and grandsons of
Americans, later generations whose ma

dissipated by the intoxicating drone of
such professional propagandists as Mr..

pacifsts.

Kaiser and Lusitania.

! Can it be the kaiser himself that
stands in the way of an acknowledge
ment by his government that the sinking
Of the Lusitunia BY German submarine
was wrong? If he holds that it was
right, and that no apology, disavowal or
reparaton is due for the sacrifice of
| American lives, his ministers need not be
expected to act against his will. Now it
| is well known that he publicly and EN-
phatically expressed approval Of the de-
struction of the Lusitania not long after
the occurrence. But there is no certain
| ty that he was then fully informed of
the facts, May 7, 1915, was the day the
| great liner was sent to the bottom. May
ll3 was the date of the first American
note on the subject, stating that our
government must hold the imperial
| German government to a strict account
ability" and that it confidently expected
disaVowal of the acts of which it COM
planned and Preparation 50 far as repara-
ton was possible for injuries which were
without measure"
But facts were in dispute. The Ger
man government, replying under date of
May rs maintained that the sinking of
the vessel was an act of self defense, al
leging that "the Lusitania when she left
New York undoubtedly had guns on
board which were mounted under decks
and masked" and that she "had Cana
dian troops and munitions on board, in
Guiding no less than 5,400 cases of am
munition destined for the destruction of
brave German soldiers" On June our
government telegraphed to Germany the
"ofiicial information" that inspection of
the ship before she left port had shown
chat the Lusitania was not armed for
offensive action, that she was not serv-
ing as a transport. that she did not carry
a cargo prohibited by the statutes of the
United States" Newspaper dispatches
the following week carried this announce
ment: ''The kaiser has conferred on the !

SCHOOL REQUESTS WITH DENOAII
NATIONAL STRINGS.

For aught we can see, Leland and Gray

southern Vermont has saddled itself with
condition which may prove cumbrous,
if not a real handicap, in the pursuit of
success as an educational power in the
state and even in its own community
1t has accepted a legacy of $4,000 and
has forever bound itself to install only
Baptist at the head of the school. More
over, it has ousted a principal Meth
odist, by the way-who had proven his
worth in the position and who was doing
much to develop the institution along
broad lines of education. Hereafter it
must be either Baptist or nothing at
ALL The benefactor who left the $4,000
under such a condition no doubt had in
mind the maintenance of the school along
narrow sectarian lines as completely as
possible but did not appreciate that the
work OF the school might be seriously
crcumscribed thereby and its work in
the cause Of education gravely ham
pered. A Methodist can teach school as
well as Baptist provided he has an
equal amount Of brains and aptitude for
the profession, and. for that matter. |
persons educational eapability is not
gagged by his religious belief; and, more
over, school need not deteriorate along
Religious lines because the principal
might subscribe TO some other creed than
that of the Baptist denomination. so long
as that officer was a Christian gentle
nan. To our way of thinking. a narrow.
provincial attitude along lines OF creed
hurts the usefulness Of school or Of an
educational system. and It Is extremely
unwise TO leave legacies under such re-
strictions as that imposed upon Leland

British dominance Of the seas received
a rude shock by the feat Of a German
prize crew in steering British captive
ship from the African coast clear across
the Atlantic ocean to the shores of the
United States without being detected,
particularly in view Of the fact that the
prize ship was liner which was being
sought by the British admiralty because
it had long been unreported. 1t is true
that the British navy has an enormous
task to watch every sea and guard every
hostile naval base and at the same time
transport troops; but Great Britain has
so long been in control Of the sea that it
is rather startling to read OF such an oc-
currence as this with the Appam.
