Beginning when school opens in

TO PAY BONUS TO SOLDIERS?
Britain May Restore Custom Which
for a Period Was Recognized
Proceeding.

VIII there be general Issue OF batta
money at the conclusion OF the present
great war, and IL 80 how much will 1t
amount to?
Doubtless the above question has oc-
CURED to not few old British SOL
diers at the front, and TO as many OF
the younger ones as have heard OF the
custom.
Batta money is a gratuity which old
established army usage has decreed
shall be paid in certain circumstances
to private soldiers and noncommis-
stoned officers taking part in an excep-
tionally arduous campaign. 1t derives
its name from a Hindustani word
meaning perquisities or wages. and It's
payment was originally confined to
India. There have, however, been
plenty OF presidents for the payment
OF batta outside that country, one re-
cent notable instance being in connec-
ton with the Nile expedition for the
relief of General Gordon. when Lord
Wolseley insisted on the time-honored
custom being observed as regarded the
troops under his command, with the re-
suit that every man received s26 in
cash soon after the conclusion OF the
campaign.
Batta money, It may be Of interest
to note, is by immemorial custom paid
in gold, and usually in new sovereigns.
and there are frequently wild scenes
in the garrison towns when the long
looked-for day arrives. The coins are
dished out-literally "dished QUITO
the men by companies. the recipients
being paraded for the purpose on the
barrack square. and the PACKAGES Of
gold served out to them from the
round ration tins that are ordinarily
used to draw the bread and meat in.

Hunting by Aeroplane.
The hunting spirit has not been slow
to take its cue from the successful use
of the aeroplane in war. II the scout
can make his way unchecked above the
lines OF the enemy and search them
out as he will: II he can drop bombs
or shoot with definite effect on the
enemy below. then surely the hunter.
being able to fly low with no risk to
himself. could follow his game from
the air and get It at will.
This has been done with success.
The Literary Digest tells OF hunting
coyotes over the western plains by
aircraft, quoting from Flying the de
tails OF how It is done. The animals
are taken unawares. On the air side,
the only side from which they have
never had reason to expect attack.
their instinct has left them unguRrded.
This will be remedied in time. but
what good will II do them? The aero
plane can ny faster than the animal
can run. It probably will be adapted
to the hunting OF many forms of big
game the world over. giving the hunter
the advantage OF a protection from the
recon of such animals as tigers. lions
and elephants which he never could
have before.

BRYAN ADMITS DEFEAT LOOMS
FOR HIS PARTY
Democrats Haven't Fighting Chance
to Win Without G. o. p. Peace
Voters Nebraskan Declares


Lincoln, Neb., May 13.-In a sign
&C article published today William
Jennings Bryan declares the demo-
cratic party must, in order to win
the cominzg campaign, move to-
ward peace" and thereby capture the
peace element in the republican party.
He begins his article by quoting from
a Chicago newspapers editorial, in
which Wilson is cSEcd a minority
president, in that he received fewer
votes than Roosevelt ard Taft COM
bined, and says the democrats must
face the fact that united republican
party will enter the campaign with a
popular majority of 100000 votes.
Continuing, he says ITO the nor
NAL republican advantage must BE-
added the disaffection among Ger
mans and Irish democrats. Without
attempting to decide whether the
president was wise or unwise in tax
ing the course that alienated them,
the party is confronted with the fact
that his alienation will cost it a large
number of votes-onough to defeat the
party in several close states.
"From what source can we draw
the number of recruits necessary to
give the party a fighting chance :?
From one source, and from one
source only-namcly the peace ele-
ment of the republican party. We
cannot draw votes from the war ele-
ment.
"There is a peace clement in the
republican party, as shown by the
vote cast for Henry Ford in Michi-
gan, Nebraska and other states. This
is the only element to which the
democratic party can appeal, and to
appeal to this clement it will be nee
essary to do more than has yet been
done. II any considerable number Of
republicans felt friendly to the presi-
dent, they would have shown it by
writing in his name as their choice
when they expressed themselves at
the primary.
"If this element is to be conciliated,
it must be done by q move toward
peace. The opportunity is here. The
German government, in accepting this
governments position in the submar-
inc controversy. gives as one of its
reasons for doing so, its unwillingness
to be responsible for extending or
spreading the war. II refers to the
fact that it has twice expressed a de-
sire to consider the terms Of peace.
The way is open. Will the president
take advantage Of the opportunity
Failure to obtain peace would bring
no humiliation, while success would
be of tremendous advantage to him
politically, as well as a blessing to
this country and TO the world. He can
at one stroke destroy all the advan-
tage the republican party now has,
and make the race on the record of
d peace-makcr viii he give voice to

The LABOR LEADERS KNOW
Are Opposed To Saloons And The
Use OF Liquor

If the saloon is the Poor Mans
Club" as its advocates claim. why
have so many prominent labor lead
ers condemned the use of that term?
If the saloon Is the Poor Mans
Club" why did John Mitchell, former
president of the United Mine Workers
of America, and one of the ablest ex-
ponents of trade unionism in the
country, say: Almost every distur-
bance in the ranks of labor can be
traced to some connection with the
saloon"
Why did John Lennon, treasurer OF
the American Federation of Labor.
say: THE saloon is the enemy CT
the people. | am against it and will
do all in my power to put it out of
business"
Why did James w. Kline, presi-
dent of the international Brotherhood
of Blacksmiths and Helpers, say:
"Barroom demagogues have caused
the loss of life, property and public
confidence and many times have
brought defeat to the cause of labor"
Yes, the saloon is the poor mans
club, but it is the club that is used
to beat him over the head and rem
ders him inaccessible to the ideals
and aspirations of the labor move
ment, and causes him TO forget the
sound principles upon which the or
ganized labor movement stands.
Compare the amount of capital in
vested in the liquor industry with the
amount OF wages paid to the workers
IN that industry and you will find that
the liquor industry is the most
cruel exploiter of labor under the
present industrial system.
But the worker in the liquor in
uustry not only pays in low wages
tor the unique privilege of helping
make the brewers rich, but at ter
rible cost of life.
The death rate among the brewery
workmen in America is 50 per cent,
higher than the normal death rate,
while the death rate among walters
in hotels, restaurants and clubs where
liquor is sold is a per cent higher.
This high death rate has a direct
bearing on the question as to how
much the worker receives as to his
share" of the business.
The life OF the average bartender
is shortened seven years because of
the business he is in, according to-
Charles Stelze, the noted trade union
social worker OF New York.
The open saloon creates thousands
of industrial outcasts who are thrown
on to the labor market This in turn
creates a cheap labor supply with
whom you must compete.
Will you vote for the licensed sa-
loon and thereby place your enemies
in a position to undermine the labor
movement?
Every labor leader in the country
cautions his men to refrain from the
use of liquor in times of industrial
war.
If IL is a good thing for the worker
to stay away from liquor in times of
industrial war, why isn't it a good
thing from him to stay away from
IL in times of industrial peace?
Mr.. Workingman: What are you
going to do about IL
