On the other hand, the sunlight In
the tropics is the best and practically
only disinfectant of easy application In
destroying disease bacteria, vermin and
the like. Mosquitoes cannot breed In
the tropical sunlight, but must seek
the scanty shade to prolong their ma
lartal activities. tuberculosis bacteria
will not live ten minutes when exposed
to the tropical sun. whereas they will
live for hours and days in the shade.
The tropical sun quickly dries and
turns to sterile dust all forms OF moist
filth and decaying animal matter. 1t
tends to disinfect and heal the sores
of most human diseases whose infec-
ton would spread In the shade.
The sun may also be credited with
the salvation of the lives Of most half

ANOTHER small strike occurred
in this city last Saturday and this
time it was the pattern max
ers. The men we are told were
getting thirty eight cents per hour,
that is the best mechanics in this
line of work. Many of them were
rot getting this amount and few
days ago decided that they would
ask the factories for an increase
which they did One of he fac
tories has so far granted the men
the increase and they did not strike.
Two other shops are still out be
cause the officials refused to grant
the increase. We are informed
that the superintenden of one of
the struck shops told the men that
he would not grant their demands
and that he could get shoe makers
to do their work. This Of course
sounds like baby talk and no man
who boasts 50 much about know
ing the business should make a re-
mark of that sort. If we are not
mistakea this same factory few
months ago had a young man
working in the drafting depart
ment and he was receiving the
enormous sum Of six dollars per for
his work. A short time before
Christmas he accepted a position
In a large factory at Leetsdale, Pa.
This firm gave the young man
ninty dollars per month with an
eight hour day. There is quite
difference in wages paid in Leets-
dale aud those paid by the factor

THE ClN0UE PORTS.
Their Wardenship In Weiineton's Day
Was a Great Honor.

Do you know what the Duke of Wei
lington regarded as the crowning honor
of his life2 1t was not his conquest of
Napoleon and the gift of castle worth
more than ST, 100000, which the British
nation conferred on him in recognition
Of his services when his military gen
fus had freed England of the deadly
menace that could only be removed by
the absolute crushing of the Little Cor
sican
Instead, 1t was the position he occu-
pied during q large part of the Napo
leonic war period, not as field marshal,
but as warden Of the Cinque Ports. To
be warden of the Cinque Ports was
honor enough for any one man. but 1t
was far from an empty honor, for 1t
carried with 1t the most exacting re-
sponsibility.
The name is left over from the pc
Rod when England and France were
closely bound together. when d goodly
section OF the mainland across the
channel was ruled by the king and
when countless French terms were In
daily use in England The Cinque Ports
were Dover, Hythe, Hastings, Sand
wich and Romney. Even after Win
chelsea and Rye had been added they
continued to be called the Five
Ports"
To the warden over these coast de-
Tense towns was given the task of pro-
tecting England from invasion, and as
result their population was composed
very largely of marines, ON whose
hands time hung heavily during pro-
tracted peace. The result was that
they broke the monotony by many a
lively fight with the French marines
across the channel. One Of these re-
suited SO seriously that England was
forced to give up her fortresses on the
French coast. Wellington died at the
official warden's residence, Walmer
Castle, Kent.-St Louis Globe Demo-

can only result in disaster for the
man.
This is the one reason that the
machinists all over the country are
asking the employer for the eight
hour day, they know that they can
do as much work and better work
in those hours than they can in the
longer workday. The employer
should omit the selfish point of
view and give the machinists the
eight hour day without delay. II
tried it will In a short time be
proven a grand success.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1916-04-28

ONE of the reasons given by the
local manufacturers why they do
not grant the machinists the eight
hour day, is so they say, manufac-
turers in other parts of the country
are not working eight hours. They
also sight the machine shops in
Cincinnati, Dayton, Springfield and
other cities in this vicirity who
they say are not working the eight
hour proposition, but many of the
factories in those cities are paying
their men considerable more wages
than they do in Hamilton. Ifthat
was not a fact, the machinists
would not leave Hamilton, but
would remain here aud be con
tented.
What has become of the hun
dreds of machinists that were em-
ployed here years ago? Go up te
Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit and In
dianapolis and you will find these
same machinists working in those
factories and they are getting much
better pay than they do mere. In
one machine shop alone IN the city
of indianapolis there are so many
Hamilton machinists working in
that shcp that they have nick
named the place" Hamilton
Isn't this proof that machinists in
those cities are receiving more pay
and better conditions.
The eight hour day in other
trades and industries was started
by some one, and it might as vel
be started in the machine industry
in Hamilton as elsewhere. We
pride ourselves on having the besr
mechanics in the world, then Why
not have them working under the
best conditions possible.

IT, the Mediterranean Sea on December
Il is not influencing Japan to take a
Iaore aggressive part in the war, as has
been thought in some foreign countries
AS a matter of fact the incident has
been received in Japan very calmly and
SC far as the newspapers are concerned
there has been practically no express
ion of opinion.
Such sentiment as has been publicly
voiced is confirmed to two points, first
the futility of wasting time on unim-
portant political quarrels in the pres
ent worlds crisis, and second, the ne
cessity on the part of Japan's allies to
obtain stronger command of the seas.
THE sinking of the Yasaka Maru,'
wrote the editor of the Japan Times,
is a timely reminder to this country,
which has almost become oblivious Of
the war, being engrossed in political
disputes which are of small national
concern except for party purposes"
The writer pointed out that if agitation
occurs in the countries of the allies it
is always in connection with the war
whereas in Japan the questions be-
t" cen the government and the opposi-
ton are such as could be very easily
settled "if only the parties would sub
ordinate their narrow and selfish con-
tentions to the larger problems of the
Empires needs that are growing more
and more complicated as the great war
extends its sphere of operation"

by Australia by next June to some

Submarine Commander Tells
The Story OF Escape of Crew

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Feb. NAY
a. Lieutenant Wenninger, commander
OF the German submarine U-27 which
torpedoed the French steamer Grave
line, gives the following description OF
how his submarine was caught in the
net of an English boat off the coast of
England and how under the most diff
ftcult circumstances he succeeded in
saving the boat and crew from capture.
He said that they left their base ear
ly in the morning and passed into the
North Sea, the boat being under water
with the periscope awash. Il looked
through the periscope," he continued,
"and could see a red buoy behind my
boat. When ten minutes later looked
saw the buoy again, still al the same
distance behind us. l steered to the
right and then to the left, but the
buoy kept on following us. l descend
ed deep into the water but still saw
the buoy floating on the surface above

caught the chain of the buoy and
that we were dragging it along with US.
At this time also saw through the
periscope that strange small steamer

was steering a course directly behind
us and the buoy. At the same time
my sounding apparatus indicated that
a screw steamer was in the vicinity.
Observation revealed that five enemy
torpedo boats were approaching from
the north. l increased the speed of the
boat in the expectation of being able
to attack one of them. The five torpedo
boats arranged themselves in a circle.
