Especial CdbIe 10 The Times

LONDON, June 1s.-IndIsnsnt citi-
gems jammed the London Opera
House last night to demand immed-
late reprisals upon Germany for the
recent air raids over London and
the coast towns.
The lord mayor Of London. who
presided. read a resolution voicing
the general desire for retaliatory
methods.
The spirit OF the meeting was dis
played In the rage against the Ger
mans war on innocents shown by the
speakers who mentioned the death OF
little children in an East London
school. Four members Of Parliament,
including N. Pemberton Billing, who
has served in the British air service
during the war, advocated reprisals-
Enormous Fleets Wanted.
Commander Billing said that with
the help Of her allies Great Britain
could send enormous fleets over Ger
man towns and bomb fifty of them
every afternoon for q week-not only
bomb, but destroy them.
Inc meeting klEnallzeQ a psyCnOlOB
zeal change in the British tempera-
ment.
Where heretofore Ensland's spirit
was to maintain the war on the prin-
ciple OF not allowing the enemy's
most bsrbaric acts to bring forth
similar tactics on the part OF Great
Britain, now the people all over the
country want to make a practical les
son that will force the Hun to desist.
Feeling IL General
The meeting undoubtedly was rep
ressntstive of feeling in London. 1t
is doubtful, however. whether the
government will adopt a campaign OF
reprisals to satisfy the popular de-
mand in the southern part Of Eng
land
The gathering passed q resolution
asking reprisals, and asked that a
copy be sent TO the King and Queen,
to Premier Lloyd George. and TO other
government leaders. The members of
Parliament present promised action in
that body.

this war, one truth established: Any
modern nation can abolish poverty.
Think OF it! Nearly 100000
hands" are employed in making mu-
nitions in Great Britain; 100000
moro are soldiers: in all some TO-
100000 of the best workers have
been withdrawn from the industrial
army and the remaining 5,OOO,OOO
have been able to provide "A good liv-
ing, not only for themselves, and for
all the women and children, but also
for the nonproducing combatants,
and we are told that never have the
poor been so well of, while laws
Have had to be passed limiting the
dinners of the rich TO three courses.
But what would the wealth OF the
country be II the 100000 men EN-.
ployed in unproducing labor were all
at work producing necessities or
rather commodities?
Clearly IL is possible now to estab-
lish by law a minimum wage far
higher than any standard in the past;
il would probably be advisable to lift
this minimum wage gradually though
not slowly.
At any rate, the old plea that the
establishment of n high minimum
wage and a decent standard of living
for the working class would entail
general impoverishment, that in order
to level up the lowest classes it would
be necessary to level down the well
to do classes, is proved to be absurd,
The whole of the poorer classes can
be lifted up and yet leave more for
the able and clever than they could
have gotten half u century ago.
Lloyd George is in position, II he
will, to do more for England than the
great revolution did for France; he
could nationaiize the land and the
railwiys and all public service, estab
lish n minimum wage and an eight
hour day; in fact, bring England
nearer the ideal of social justice than
even France. The war has shown
that the deal is actual; here and
now. as Goethe said, IL is possible to
realize our dreams.--Pearso Maya

SHORTAGE OF BILLION
TIN CANS THREATENED

Washington, March ga short
age of approximately one billion tin
cans confronts the canning indust-
ries of the country, according to es-
Inmates made to-day by canning in
terests and Department of Commerce
officials
Nearly FIVE billion cans were used
last year in all branches of the in
dustry. The demand this year Is
said to be about double that and can
ncrs are hoping TO increase their out
put so per cent. Only four billion
tin cans are in sight and the manu-
facture of this amount bids fair to be
delayed considerably because of tram
sportation difficulties and shortage
of steel for plate. A shortage of
black tin, imported from British col
onies and Great Britain, also is
threatened.
Principal railroads to-day notified
the Department of Commerce that
embargoes placed on plate, steel and
black tin had been lifted and that
everything possible is being done to
expedite theft shipment. a commit
tee of six Government officials and
representatives of plate and canning
interests has undertaken to make an
inventory of the Gamers require
ments. Should the necessary num-
Der of tin cans he forthcoming from
manufacturers, 1t is said the price of
canned goods probably will remain
at the present level, which is an in
crease over last years prices OF
about 25 per cent.
In one industry alone, the canning
of gray fish, the shortage is said to
approximate 100000 cans.

HOW TO CURE CHILDREN
OF NERVOUSNESS

In the Woman's Home Companion
DR.. Roger II. bennett says:
1T is impossible to give any one
plan of treatment for all nervous
children, because each case is differ
ent, and each child must be handled
with the utmost common sense and
tact. Some children can be broken
of their nervousness by severe and
strict discipline. while others must
be humored to a certain extent. There
is one rule, however. which applies
to all. and that is for those who sur
round the child never to become ex-
cited themselves. or to give a recital
OF the child's nervous symptoms in
his presence Neither should ner-
vous children continually be told that
they are nervous. In fact, II is some
times best to overlook the nervous
symptoms altogether. Nervous chill
dren should be allowed to play with
other children OF their own age, and
not kept by themselves, as is often
done. Sometimes in the younger
children the nervous symptoms dis
appear when they start to school. 4"
