Love of Country.

In these days of rapid national
growth, when the citizen of today is
supplanted by the youth and franchised
emigrant tomorrow; when 1,000,0 vo-
tiers cast their ballots with no higher
motive than compliance with a custom
or the dictates of party henchmen:
when one-fourth Of our henchmen:
have no stronger ties Of residence than
aVarice, whose strength varies with the
financial fluctuations Of the business
world; when year by year our shores
receive the restless spirits of other
lands who acknowledge no higher au.
thority than their own caprice; when
SO many Of our youth are growing INTO
manhood ignorant of everything save
the means of licensed indulgences and
frivolity our liberty affords; when, as
partakers Of the grandest political in
heritance ever transmitted from one
generation to another, we are all about
to forget the fearful responsibilities
thrust upon US in our acceptance Of tho
blessings Of liberty we enjoy, 1t Is time
to halt.
Let, us gather the fragments that
nothing be lost,
To tell the next ages what liberty cost"
Let US teach the coming citizen that,
next to the love of God-implanted at
daily Gets Of piety and benevolence-
Is the love Of country, its flag, the mar
tyrs who fell in its defense, and last,
but greatest Of all, an abiding faith
in it's institutions and an undying de-
votion to it's peace, happiness and per-
petuity. Let the examples of patriots,
In deeds Of heroism and self sacrifice,
be our theme Of meditation and discus
sion. Let our literature CLEAN with the
noble efforts, the grand achievements
Of those who gave their all that we,
their dependents, might taste the
sweets of freedom undisturbed.
Let us realize that this grandest ner-
ltage Of earth's martyrs came to US,
not alone through the business tact
and prudent foresight Of our sires but
by years Of toll and suffering, of cold
and hunger, Of want and privation, and
by the generous sacrifice Of precious
blood; and that, though 1t be vouch-
safed to us through blessings of a no.
BILE ancestry, its possession implies no
permanence to an unworthy race.
It is ours, not alone to enjoy, but to
foster and protect; ours to guard from
schism, vice and crime; ours to purify,
exalt, ennoble; ours to prepare a dwell
ing place for the purest, fairest, best
Of earth's humanity.

escape from captivity has perhaps ever
been told in the annals of any war
than that narrated by Major de V,
a French aviator who was recently
captured behind German lines when
a dense fog caused him to lose his
bearings. Captured by the enemy, this
dispirited Frenchman was tied to his
seat in his own aeroplane and Or
dered by German aviator officer who

British to Preserve Infants.

London. IF the British Empire is
to be kept together, infant life must
be preserved" This note of warning
from the head Of the Birmingham Ma
ternity hospital in connection with this
statement that as result of the war
there were between 1000 and 5000
fewer babies in Birmingham last
year" has been re-echoed by the news
papers and the clergy throughout the
country. Attention of Englishmen is
again called to the fact that the birth
rate has fallen to the lowest figures on
record and that at the same time the
infant mortality rate is going up.
A man shortage greater than any
England has known in it's history is
threatening the country, says the
London Times medical correspondent,
who proceeds to compare the condi-
tons here with those in Germany,
where he adds owing to the far sight
edness of the Germans the population
jumped from 100000 in 1875 to Co.
UUU,UUU IN 1S05.
THE world at this hour is having
an object lesson in the meaning of
birth statistics" continues the CORES
pondent. THE Germans swelled their
total population not only by births but
also by the prevention of infant death.
which is one Of the greatest works
standing to the credit of a scientific
people.

1915 WASLABOR'S
GREATEST YEAR
Made Most Success in Increasing
Wages and Shortening of Hours
in History of Movement.

Washington, April 30.-Organized
labor received more in the year end
ing with May l in increased wages,
shortening of hours and legislation
than ever before in its history, &C
cording to officials of the American
Federation of Labor. Wage advances
were general the country over in vir-
tually every line of industry and laws
beneflting labor were put on the
statute books of every state in the
Made Most Success in increasing
Wage increase were greatest in
the metal trades, many Of which were
stimulated by war orders. Cotton
manufacturing was the only main in
dustry which did not grant substantial
increases. The metal trades, too,
claimed the greatest number of
strikes during the year, though many
plants increased the pay of their men
and cut working hours voluntarily.
One benefit brought by the indus
trial revival which labor officials
consider as important as increases in
wages was the effect on unemploy-
ment, which has disappeared within
the past year. Statistics just complet-
ed by the department of labor show
that men of all trades have been call
ed in to work. Iron and steel mills
have on their payrolls now So per
cent more men than were employed a
year ago and the car building and
repairing industry has increased its
forces by about the same percentage
Manufacturers of boots and shoes are
employing 20 per cent more men than
this time last year.
Wage increases during the year
have ranged from FIVE to fifteen per
cent. No statistics have been COM
piled by either the department of la
Dor or the American Federation of
Labor, but reports coming in to both
tell of what is being accomplished in
manufacturing plants in all parts Of
the country.
The department of labor puts the
cOuntry's 1915 strikes at 800, about
800 more than the year before. About
two thirds Of them were for wage in
creases or decreased working hours
and most Of them were successful
Munitions strikes starting in the sum
mer of 1915 attracted much attention.
Most of them were for shorter hours
without pay increases. Shorter hours
generally were obtained by the NUM-
tons workers. but where wage in
creases were asked the workers sell
dom got as much as they asked for.
Strikes in the clothing industry in
eastern cities involved number of
