Statement Month Old.

The manifesto" was issued over .
month ago. 1t declared renewal of sub
marine operations would cripple England
seriously and do no harm so far as thu
United States is concerned. as that conn
try already is doing Germany as much
damage as she possibly can.
1t is stated that Germany's promise
to the United States to discontinue sub
marine warfare against merchantmen
was based on the understanding that
measures would be taken by the gov
ernment to modify the severity of the
British blockade. 1t is pointed out
that nothing has been done along that
line. despite assurances from Mr..
Gerard to the Berlin foreign office that
the United States would act vigorously
and insist upon protection of American
rights with regard to the blockade.
1t is said at the State Department
that Ambassador Gerard will be asked
to forward the text of the Won Tirpitz
manifesto by cable. Won Tirpitz is the
leader of the radical element in the
German navy, and since his enforced
retirement his views have been In
eclipse.
Trouble Maker.
His statements now are not taken as
representing the views of the govern
ment. 1t is realized. however. that
Won Tirpitz still is capable of stirring
up trouble. 1t is possible that Secre-
tary Lansing may ask that inquiry be
made of the German government con-
cerning its official attitude toward the
threats now appearing against the
United States in certain German news
papers
Secretary lansing said yesterday that
ne had asked Great Britain again when
the joint French British reply to the
last American note on mail seizures
might be forthcoming. but that action
was irrespective of the submarine sit
uation The position of Secretary Lam
sing has been that he would not per-
nit Germany to dictate the action of
this government with respect to Great
Britain or other belligerents.

First Aid to Injured.


One feature Of the tournament will be
the establishment of field dressing
station as maintained on the firing line
during an engagement. The sanitary
troops of the Sd Infantry, under Capt.
Bryson and Lieut. Gibbs, will give this
exhibition.
They marched on the field this morn
ing with an ambulance and litters. At
sound Of bugle they pitched a tent fly
and put up litter on four stakes, to be
used as an operating table.
Five men ran on the field and lay
down. Lieut.. Gibbs placed a tag on
each telling what he was supposed to be
suffering from. Then members Of the
detachment went out and applied first
aid.
The injured" then were brought to
the dressing station. Some were carried
on litters, while others were brought in
on the backs of members Of the SAN
itary detachment
On one Of the injured" men Lieut..
Gibbs placed a tag indicating the man
had a broken arm. He weighed about
$50 pounds. or thereabouts. He walked
to the dressing station. Men with bro
ken arms are not carried on litters.
Between the various numbers the
band plays. One officer suggested that
an appropriate piece to play while

also put on exhibitions, the former
showing the complete semaphore al

Troop A, cavalry also put on a drill
showing the results of two months OF
training. The riding of these militiamen
who did not have the use of horses until
some time after they came to Fort Myer
was excellent
The officers and men expect a large
crowd out to the tournament 1t will
continue practically the entire afternoon
and will give people of Washington who
attend a fine chance to see practically
every drill in the army.
With the tournament practice nearly
over. plans already are being made for 8

Monday. 1t will be full of drills and long
practice marches and field problems.

Confers With President.

Commissioner Chambers of the fed
eral mediation board held a brief con-
ference with President Wilson early
this morning. Afterward he would
make no comment on his visit.
President Wilson summoned repre-
sentatiyes of the employers and en-
ployes involved in the threatened
strike TO the White House today for
conference to discuss proposals which
have developed out of his original plan
of settlement.
The four brotherhood heads said on
entering the White House at 1880
o'clock that they did not know why
they had been called by the President.
1t was understood President Wilson
wanted to get their views on legisla-
tion under consideration to prevent
such a controversy in the future
No Announcement After Conference.
The four brotherhood heads remained
with the President an hour and a half,
but would make no statement on leav-
ing. The President kept the cabinet
waiting for an hour to continue his
conference with the railroad men.
THE situation in so far as we are
concerned" A. B. Garretson, spokes-
man for the employees, later said, 'is
concrete proposition to which the rail-
roads will agree has been rendered us.
Our position is exactly the same as IT
was when we accepted the Presidents
plan. We have deviated from it in no
way Whatsoever
The brotherhood leaders went from
the White House to report to a meet
ing of the men, but insisted they had
nothing particular to communicate.
W. G. Lee of the tra.nmen gave out
copies of an order which, he said. had
been sent by the Northern Pacific to
station agents directing them to get
local interests to send telegraphic pro-
tests to President Wilson against
settling the controversy by other means
than arbitration. The kilograms. Mr..
Lee declared, were to be paid for by
the railroad, and were evidence of
what the men characterize as a propo-
ESnda against the Presidents plan.
The situation looks very bad 1 be-
lieve that today adjustment is at a
more critical stage than at any time
for the last month" said one of the
prominent railroad presidents today in
confidential conversation with long
time friend

The primary step In human better
ment has always been to secure a
shorter workday. Those workers who
toiled ten or twelve or fourteen hours
became drudges, too tired to think, toe
worn out to hope or dream dreams
with time only for the sleep necessary
for any animal. Each day they re-
! turned to work uurested from the toll
OF the previous day, the poison of
fatigue accommodating In the body until
the vigor Of youth and manhood was
ruinously undermined.
To decrease the hours of work to a
reasonable standard assures to the
worker time for rest and recuperation
and additional time for development,
FOR study, for social pleasures, for the
things that max, life oorth While and
oil 1t with hope and opportunity.
Since this change has been brought
about in reducing the hours OF work,
the short-hour workman becomes a
better workman. consequently, reduc-
tons in the hours of work are invari-
apIy accompanied by increases In
wages.
Reduced Hours, Increased Efficiency.
II has been the experience OF en-
ployers that reducing the hours OF
work to reasonable standard results
IN increased efficiency of workers. The
data furnished by some who have kept
statistics showing the increased out
put resulting from reducing from
zen to an elght-hour day is startling
Some have found that efficiency in
creased In percentages varying from
30 TO 60.
Workers have called attention to
harmful insanitary conditions prevail
ing In places of employment. By their
demands. backed up by their economic |
power. they have succeeded In bring |
ing about great transformation. In /
this they have had the cooperation /
and assistance OF the many great /
scientists who have used their knowl- /
edge and their ability to promote the
interests OF humanity. But whatever 4
has been accomplished to establish /
principles of human welfare In indus
try and commerce has been dee either /

OF workers.
Each year that has gone by has /
made more evident the soundness OF /
the principles which the trade union
lsts have followed. As the dynamic
forces in the lives OF the people stand
out sharply In some test that cuts
through to bedrock fundamentals, the
strength and the nature OF economic
power is revealed Those who had
the understanding 10 interpret such
flashllght glimpses into the heart of

that are propelling the for
