the occupation of Salonica bv

has been given to Greece by the
Allies in the arrest of the Aus

the Greek islands of Melos, in

Adriatic. In retaliation for this

A Weekly Review
OF The Great War

1t was thought by some that
there would be cessatation OF
activities on the eastern front
during the winter, especially
since the weather is unusually
severe even for Russia. But
during Christmas week the Rus.
slams undertook a new offensive
along the southern section of the
line between the Pripet and the
tCplcster rivers. These rivers
run eastwardly about three hun
dred miles apart, hut they come
near being connected by water,
for two of their tributaries, the
Styr and the Strypa, both have
their origin near the Galician
frontier. 1t was on or near these
two rivers that the Austro-G Ger
man advance halted, last fall,
and since this formed good
line of defense, no serious at
tempt has been made at fur
ther drive eastward. The later
efforts of the Germans were di-
rected towards the capture of
Riga and Dvinsk, in the extreme
north, but In this they failed.
During the last four months
the Russian army has been re-
orgauzied and obtained a new
supply OF guns and munltion,
largely, 1T appears, of Japanese
Manufacture. They are said to
have 100000 on this southern
section between Pinsk and Ger
nowitz. Pinsk, the northern
end of this section, is in the
swampy valley of the Pripet
River. Czernowitz is situated
on the slope Of the Carpathian
Mountains aud some twenty
miles south of the Dnlester Riv.
er. On the northern side of the
Dniester there are also high
lands of over u thousand feet al
titude, in the midst of which
stands Tarnopol, on the Sereth
River. North of Tarnopol, are
the three furtresses of Lutsk,
Duhno and Rovno, designed to
be the chief defenses of southern
Russia. Two OF these are in the
hands of the Germans. The
third, RoVono, they have not
been able totake.
THIS. then. is the lay Of The
land in the new battlefield. The
Russians seem to be concentrat-
ing their efforts on the southern
part in the attempt to make an
other drive up the Dniester to
recapture CZernowitz and Lem
berg as they did in the first
months of the war. On the north
side of the Dniester they are at
tacking BucZacz on the road to
Lem berg. On the south side of
this river they have occupied
the hight, " hich overlook Ger
nowltZ. The Russian army
which is attempting to invade
i .lkovlna is under the COM
mand Of General Ivanotf and it
is rumofed that field Marshal
-Mackenson, the conqueror of
Serbia, has been brought back
from the Balkans to oppose him.
The Russians are said to have
massed here 10000 men on q
front Of less than mile. After
bonn bardment of fifty hours, in
which 400 guns took part, tney
began the attack and charged
the German trenches fourteen
times in one day, in spite of ap
palling losses. The Austrian
War Office estimates the Rus
sian losses in the recent opera

no less severe. The Austrians

Uzartorysk, which gives them a
chance to advance along the rail-
road toward the important innc-

ance, and emergency expenses eliminated
We're submitted by scores of federal
employees. In almost every case these
employees, that is, the low -saaried ones,
were able to get along only thru the
charitable assistance OF relatives or
kindly disposed friends.
Statistics were sumbitted by the De.
partment Of Labor's representative show
ing the comparative cost of commodities
during the 26-year period from 1890 to
1916. Practically every item shows
hundred per cent increase in cost over
1890. 1t was also shown that the gov
eminent itself, during this same 26-year
period, has been obliged to meet this
ever-inereasing cost for foodstuffs, mate
rials and commodities necessary for the
proper conduct of the great governmental
establishment. 1t was also shown that
the government, by the simple exped-
lent of annually increasing its budget,
easily met the added drain In 1890
the total approximations were S457 ,0Ss,-
344, while in 1916 they had reached the
stupendous total of sl,ll4, ,e37 ,ol2, or an
average annual increase of S32, SOS, ABS.
The government was simply forced to
meet conditions, and it did; but on the
other hand, it has Sorced the underpaid
employe to work out his existence sin

annually increased budget
The provisions of the Nolan bill will
affect upwards of two hundred thousand
government employees, over thirty thou
sand of whom are receiving less than
S720 a year, and not one of the two hun
dred thousand receives over 81 600 year
when viewed in the aggregate this great
army of faithful workers made a last
ing impression upon the members OF the
committee on labor, and without a dis
senting voice that committee on May %,
1916, most earnestly recommended to the
House of Representatives that the Nolan
bill be passed. The matter OF correcting
a long standing I'M Justice toward loyal
and faithful group of government work
ers is squarely up to congress. This is
sue is clear; the evidence and facts un-
mistakable. At home the congressman
have willingly advanced the wages of
their private employees, both domestic
and professional, because they realized
only too well that the increased cost OF
living justified those increases. Why
then should their vision be clouded in the
halls of our National legislature The
congress has been very keen and exact
ing in its requirements governing indus
trial establishments. railroads, mines,
etc, and readily lends its aid to better
ing the working conditions for the toilers
in private life. By the same token it
should now confer upon the underpaid
workers in the government service the
recognition long overdue.

WALSH FOR THE SUPREME COURT.

The resignation of Justice Hughes fur
nishes to President Wilson an opportun-
ity to do the American people the great
service of p-oviding Justice Brendeis
with democratic colleague. The name
of Frank P. Walsh has been suggested
in many quarters, and the suggestion is
n happy one. Walsh's appointment
would not suit the predatory interests
anv better than did that of Brendeis.
bur such opposition is to his credit. It
might run counter to narrow prejuiice-
but while these deserve pity they are not
entitled to consideration. Mr.. Walsh is
said TO lack judicial temperament but
when one considers the record of William
H. TAFT, who is credited with that quail
ity. I appears that the lack of it must
be a Recommendation. At any rate
Walsh's public service during his brief
term member of the Commission on
Industrial Relations overtopped by far
all the accomplishments of the most
eminent possessor of judicial tempera-
ment during a public career of thirty
years The movement in favor of this
appointment deserves all the encourage
ment that can he given.-The Public

Nine years ago in January when the
Congress of the United States silently
voted to increase the salaries of its
members from 5000 to 81, 500 a year
a fifty per cent increase-and an addi-
tional allowance of 81 500 a year for
clerk hire" the great army of govern
ment employees saw a brilliant ray OF
hope. Surely" they said, @our time is
now at hand The small recognition We
have sought and hoped for these many
years will soon be accorded u.s." But
the clouds came, and for these nine years
that ray OF hope has been obscured and
hidden. 1t remained for Congressman
John I. Nolan, representing the Fit
District of California, to vitalize and re-
habilitate that hope. This he did
through the Introduction of his minimum
wage bill, providing a rate OF 50 per
day, $50 a month, Sl.0s0 per annum, and
37iz cents per hour where the service is
less than a day. for all employees OF the
government of the United States and of
the government of the District of Colum-

Extensive hearings We're held on the
Nolan bill by the committee on labor,
and for the first time in the history of
congress a thoro investigation of the
cost OF living was made. Representa-
tives of practically every branch of the
service were heard, as We're a number of
persons interested in social welfare work.
The stories of privation and hardship
told by the witnesses before the com
mittee were such as to reach a heart Of
stone, and condition of governmental
neglect brought to light that has exist
ed altogether too long. Statements as
to actual living costs-for the merest

DEMOCRATIC

I'VE hold that the life, health and
strength OF the men, women and cfil-
dren of the nation are its greatest
asset. and that in the conservation
of these the federal government,
wherever it acts as the employer of
labor. should both on its own account
and as an example, put into effect
the following principles of just en-
ployment:
~first-A living wage for all en-
ployes.
.Second-A working day not to ex-
ceed eight hours. with one day of
rest in seven.
"Third-The adoption of safety aP-
pliances and the establishment of
thoroly sanitary conditions of labor.
Fourth-Adequate compensation
for industrial accidents.
"Fiftls-The standards of the uni
form child labor law wherever min
ors are employed.
"Sixth-Such provisions for de-
oency. comfort and health in the en-
ployment Of women as should be ac-
corded the mothers of the race.
"Seventh-An equitable retirement
law providing for the retirement of
superannuated and disabled employees
of the civil service to the end that
higher standard OF efficiency may
be maintained. We belive also that
the adoption of similar principles
should be urged and applied in the
legislation of the state with regard
10 labor within their borders. and that
thru every possible agency the life
and health Of the people of the ma
tion should be conserved
I'VE declare our faith in the sea
mems act passed by the Democratic
congress and we promise our earnest
continuance Of its enforcement.
I'VE favor the creation of n federal
bureau of safety in the department
of labor. to gather facts concerning
industrial hazards, and to recommend
legislation to prevent the manning
and killing OF human beings.
we favor the development upon a
systemic scale OF means already be
gun under the present administration
to assist laborcrs thruout the nation
to seek and obtain employment.
and the extension by the federal gov
ernment of the same assistance and
encouragement as are now given TO
agricultural training.
I'VE heartily commend our newly
established department of labor for
its excellent record in settling indus
trial strikes by personal advice and
thru conciliating agents.

PROGRAM OF UNION LABOR
STATED BY JOHN MITCHELL
SIX CHIEF AIMS ARE OUTLINED IN
NEW YORK ADDRESS.
Minimum Wage for Women, Eight-Hour
Day, Improved Sanitary Conditions
and Remedial Labor Legislation.

John Mitchell chairman OF the state
industrial commission, in an address, de-
livered in New York recently. outlined
the program of organized labor. He de-
clared it to be confined to these six aims;
"A minimum wage that shall enable
men and women to live in a manner COM
Portable to American standards to edu-
cat their children and to make provision
againct old age and sickness.
The eight hour work day. which gives
opportunity for the cultivation OF hons
life. the enjoyment of books. music and
wisely employed leisure.
Legislation making it unlawful for
children of tender years and frail phys
ique to be employed in dangerous pur-
suits
laws providing for the safeguarding
in dangerous occupations and for com
course of employment.
The progressive improvement OF the
sanitary working and housing conditions
of the wage earners.
"The preservation OF the constitutional
guarantee of trial by jury. free speech
and free press
The ideal of the trade union" he
added. "is to combine in one organiza-
tion all the men employed at a given
trade, and to demand and secure for
each and all of them a definite minimum
standard of wages, hours of labor and
conditions of work.
by this is not meant that the wages
of all shall be the same. but merely that
equal pay shall be given for equal work. =
