HARD TASK LAID
To SAMUEL GOMPERS

THE HAGUE, July 25.-"If the
International Socialist Bureau has not
yet succeeded in bringing the Austro-
German and Allied societies together,
President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor GER
tainIy could not accomplish the task"
says Camille Huysmans, secretary OF
the International Socialist Bureau, to
a correspondent of The Associated
Press, in answer to a proposal Of
Mr. Gompers to hold world labor
conference during the progress of the
peace conference following the war.
Mr.. Huysmans pointed out that any
international conference without the
participation of the British and
French socialists would be farce in
that its decision would be entirely lack
ing in influence.
He declared his belief that Mr..
Gompers' proposal at present is i'm
practicable, and he deprecated the
idea of the American or International
Trade Union organizations trespassing
on the political domain of the Social
Isl International Bureau. He declared
that such conference would have to
be held under the auspices of the lat
ter organization, and naturally he
would approve of such congress if
the British and French were willing
to participate.
"The Socialist constitute the center
Of gravity in the matter of influencing
the war and when they are ready to
act" MIR. Huysmans declared, "a con-
gress should be held even without
awaiting the peace conference" He
believes, however, that the war will
continue until next year, considering
the great obstacles to peace that are
apparent at present.
The Dutch socialist organ, Het Volk,
applauds Mr. Gomjers' idea, but doubts
the practicability of such a plan save
under the auspices of the Socialist IN
ternational Bureau. 1t asks whether
he is acting after consultation with
President Legien, of German Interna-
tional Trade Union Alliance, who
might regard it as undesirable to ad-
vocate the plan himself for compre-
hensible reasons"

There have been many stories why
such and such a thing is true, and
sometimes forceful comparison is
made.
One firm has compiled the following
interesting story as "The Incident of
the Red-Headed Office Boy" It's read
able and teaches a moral.
A red-headed office boy with a saucy
pug-nose sat at a desk sorting the
morning mail.
Besides him was a waste paper bas-
ket with nav that yawned like
hungry animal
Every few seconds, with quick
flip, he tossed something into the mar
ket, remarking facetitiously, Mother
advertisement for you, old boy!"
Pretty soon the "old boy was filled
up, and that night the cleaning woman
dumped two hundred and forty-eight
mailing folders, cards, circular leaf
let's and other nondescript pieces of
advertising matter into the huge bag
and carried them to the basement
where they were sold later on to a
dealer in old paper.
The Office boy and the cleaning wo-
an went through this operation regul-
arly and about three hundred times a
year
And every time they went through
this operation regularly about three
hundred times year.
And every time they went through it
the hopes of two hundred and forty
eight artists, copy writer's and adver-
Using managers went glimmering.

The OPERA HOUSE

Theda Bara appears in Destruction
at the Opera House Wednesday.
a cast of unusual prominence is seen
in the William Fox production, De
struction." Besides Miss Theda Bara
who is starred as Ferdinande and who
has achieved many personal triumphs
ander William Foxs management, the
players include Carlton Macy, James
Furey, CASTOR Bell, Esther H. Hoier,
v arner GLAND, Herbert Frank, Frank
Evans, Arthur Morrison and others.
Mr.. Macy, who has won many laurels
by his portrayal Of Harrison Stanley in
THE Family Stain" is seen as Charles
Froment, millionaire mill owner, and
James Furey, a well-known stock fay-
orite, plays the part of Jerome Fro
ment, the aged founder of the Froment
fortune. Jack Froment, heir to the
family millions, is capably portrayed
by CASTOR Bell, who has achieved sue,
cess in many Fox production, and JOS
inc, wife of drunken mill hand, is
admirably played by Esther H. Hoier.

MEM SHIP BUILDING
FOR SAVANNAH LINE

The new oil-burning steamer Num-
Der 1872 now being built at the Union
Iron Works at San Francisco for the
Southland Steamship Company of Sa-
vannah will probably be launched the
latter part of September, according to
to statements by officials of the COM
pany yesterday.
No name has as yet been selected
for the steamer, which will be one
of the largest additions to the fleet
of Savannah-owned freight carriers,
but it is thought that she will be
named either the Southland, after the
company by which she is owned, or
the Southerner, after a former ship
|of the company
The steamer will be of the same
general type as the Eurana, which
Nloaded valuable cargo here some
time ago for Europe, but will h
larger and more modern in every
way. She will contain $4,000 cubic
feet of cargo space more than the
Eurana, will be fifteen feet longer
four inches deeper and will have four
inches more beam She will be ar
proximately 1000 tons, dead weight.
Officials of the company decline to
put any price on the new vessel, but
it is understood that her value will
be close to 100000. Savannah Off
Gals of the Southland Steamship
Company will probably attend the
launching in San Francisco.

S0y.
Had he remained in Buena Vista he
would have missed meeting his cousin
and playmate of boyhood days, K. Y
Taylor, of Louisville, whom he had not
seen in years. They met in the Kim
ball lobby, where Thomas Jefferson
Taylor was hobnobbing with the poll
ticians.
In 1896 the Young Mems Democratic
league of Atlanta, of which Hugh Dor
sey, then but a year or so out of col
lege, was an officer, held an annual
gathering at their meeting place. Dor
sey presided. Jeff Taylor was sched-
uled to deliver a speech. 1t proved
to be eulogy to Dorsey. He prophe-
sier that some time in the future Dor
sey would be governor. The guests
rose and drank toast to the predic-
ton.
In telling the story Taylor declares
it started Dorsey on the political road.
1T was right there he got the ambition
to be governor" says the Buena VS.
tan.
But about the cousin.
Back in the good old days" when
they wore short trousers K. Y. and JEFF
Taylor, cousins, jointly perpetrated the
heighborhood mischief in the lower
edge of Sumter county, their home.
They went to school together, worked
together on the same farm during va
cations and got whippings for the
same deviltries. They lost sight of
one another.
Monday Jeff Taylor was loafng
around the lobby. A group of ac-
Quaintances pressed around him. In
the group was a we'll dressed man Of
As, perhaps, to whom Jeff Taylor was
introduced.
Whats your first name?" inquired
Jeff.

acquaintance.
Ever five in Sumter county?"
Born and raised there"
Ever know Jeff Taylor?"
Couldn't forget him if 1 tried

An innovation was the supervision

The Red Headed Office Boy
Held Up the Pride of Arts

/, 1t sounds like joke, doesn't it?
But when your circular or your mail
ing folder is involved it doesn't seem
so humorous
1t hurts your self-pride to think that
an impudent boy of sixteen has the
power to hold up your business mes
sage.
And then think of the waste! The
waste of time-of gray matter-of
printing-of postage.
How can you prevent this waste?
How can you get your message across?
You get the moral. The circulars
are thrown around on the streets; the
mailed circular letters; the advertis-
ing literature in pamphlet form-see
where it goes.
But nobody can tell you where
good newspaper is thrown in the
Waste-basket without being read. Use
the newspaper for what you want the
people to see, and circulars for what
YOU do not want them to read.

Perhaps tbs just the song of bird,
The breath of deep red rose;
Or but the far-off ripping heard
OF brooklet as it flows.
Perhaps it's just the rustling leaves
A-murmuring to the trees;
Or just the signing, as it grieves,
OF some belated breeze.
Perhaps the fit of butterfly
Through the CLEAN of sunshine bright.
Oh just the cricket's plaintive cry
To first pale star of night.
Perhaps a gentle touch by chance
OF some beloved hand
Or maybe, just tender glance
That we but understand.
Perhaps the dream that evening brings
A word of love forgiving-
And yet, thank God, these little things
Make life worth well the living.

Those who think that present day
war prices are high should see the
copy of a wartime dry goods list cir
culated in 1864, fac-simile of which
was recently received by Sherk & Co.
Prints which are now selling for SC
to 1Oc, were then bringing 25c to 45c;
shirting which now costs 15c was then
selling at 35c to 60c; denims brought
40c to zoe in those days and now we
groan at paying zoe to 25c; the best
sheeting was selling for SLIGO then,
and so on down the line. The circu-
lar is sent out by an overall manu-
featuring company, who remind the
trade that if materials continue to adj
vance until they reach the war prices
of 1864, we may again be paying $500
or so for pair of overalls.
