siIkmI owner OF Paterson, y. J., offers
TO turn the plant over to his employees to operate
provided they pay him per cent his invest
ment. He says it makes no difference how few
hours they work or how much money they make
so long as he gets his interest. Considering that
he took the risk in investing his money and that
the factory is in operation because of his energy
and enterprise per cent must be regarded as a
,,crv modest return. If the employees are dis
satisfied with their present hours and wages they
have the opportunity either to better themselves
Or ~ satisfy themselves that they are already

Preparedness" says a pacifst ais the move
ment of the American bankers that are financing
the present war. The European countries will
never be able to pay the interest on the funds
now lent them at the close OF the war and the
army and navy that are being urged now are to
collect their money" Meaning, presumably, that
in the interest Of the bankers, to organize
an army and navy to send over to seize the Brit
ish crown jewels, since there will be no cash
with which to pay the interest.

with reference to the exact location, it is to be
hoped that the citizens will carry their differ

Organizing Life.
BY JOHN ID. BARRY.

There is way of organizing oneself that de-
seems almost fantastic. And yet it often works
like magic 1t is simply by placing reliance on
benehcent power outside oneself. Now there
is the sense OF being surrounded by force that
transcends all other forces. What is the little hu
man will in comparison with this dynamo? By
means OF its cooperation the soul can easily
and perhaps collapse

UNWON.

Mankind has overcome the sea;
From deserts wrested fruits Of worth.
He's scaled the highest peaks there be,
And plumbed the very depths OF earth.
He's mastered North and Southern Pole;
He's piled up mountains high OF pelf-
Yet left unworn that highest goal,
The mastery complete of Self!

 Tn addition, and of more immediate in- terest. is the bringing out of the points that the Turks will be greatly hampered in bringing up endorsements for their army that met defeat at Erzerum. and is retreating westward. while the south ward thrust by the Russians has driven a wedge between the Turkish forces west of Lake Van, in Armenia. and those op- erations to the east in Persia.
