Surprise at Bethmann-Holl.

LONDON, Friday. June delayed in

entente allies have occupied six times
as much territory during the war as the
central powers. Baron Newton, under
secretary of foreign affairs. expressed
surprise to the Associated Press today
that Chancellor Won Bethmann- Hollwsg
should point to the war map as the basis
of peace, as he is reported to have done
in an interview.
Baron Newton said:
II am surprised to find the German
chancellor is basing his argument upon
the war map, because my war map indi-
Gates two points which, should judge,
were distasteful to the Germans.
In the first place. 1t shows that in AL

armies are occupying $4,000 square

territory as the armies of the central
powers occupy.

only an exiguous quantity. l observe,

The Right Spirit.
From Leslie's


A splendid example of cooperation
between employer and employe such as
young Mr.. Rockefeller is striving to
have in Colorado is the welfare work
carried on by the Lake Carriers Assoc
citation That it has paid the men is
shown in the single statement that
their savings accounts for the past six
wears total over one million dollars.
most of which would probably have
been spent If the association had not
encouraged the saving habit. The well
fare plan began when the Lake Car
riers' Association declared that the
open shop principle was to be adhered
to in operating their shops. The first
thing done was to establish assembly
rooms. clean. bright and attractive, in
the principal ports on the lakes In
the winter season these are practicall!
clubrooms. with reading and writing
rooms. a circulating library and. for
entertainment. cards, checkers. chess.
music and. in some cases. pool and
billiard tables. At half a dozen of the
large ports on our great lakes night
classes are conducted under the direc-
ton of instructors secured through the
local boards of education. That the
men may have a proprietary interest in
the rooms and feel that they are not
the objects of charity, there is a chargs
of 81 year for the use of the rooms.
the Lake Carriers Association bearing
the rest of the expense.
Another illustration of fraternity and
cooperation between officials and EN-
ployes is the Misabe Railway club, an
organization of employees of the Duluth.
Misabe and Northern railroad. This
club meets monthly in the Y. NJ. {. 4.
auditorium at Proctor. Mimi. and dis
cusses all sorts of practical railroad
problems. At recent meetings papers
have been read on the following SUBJ
jects: Fuel Economy and Smoke Pres
vention: Air Brake Conditions of ToT

Interchange and Repair: Track MainA
tenance and Problems. The men of the
D. NJ. & n. are enthusiastic over the
Misa be Club, thirty four applications
for membership having been received
at a recent meeting. They are inter-
ested in their work and by discussion
and cooperation are endeavoring to
increase their efficiency and to build up
the railroad which employs them
Why shduld not this spirit of friendly
cooperation prevail in every industry?
Some day II will.
