fifty years the American flag has
stood as the emblem of liberty
and for the inalienable rights Of
the people. At no time in all
these years has it ever been un-
furled over an army bent on con-
quest, and never has it met
defeat at the hands of an enemy.
It's wars have always been in the
interest Of humanity; to remove
the yoke of oppression and re-
store liberty to the people. We
are how on the verge of war
with Germany, and the same
broad principle is the actuating
motive behind the policy of this
government, and the true test of
the Americanism is the loyalty
of our people to the flag. We
are cosmopolitan nation, made
up from representatives of all
the nations of the world, who
have come to our shores to enjoy
our national liberty, and to obtain
widen field for their thrift and
industry All these have been
received into full fellowship as
American citizens when they
took the oath to support the con-
stitution and defend the United
States against all enemies, foreign
and domestic, and bear true faith
with the government; and the
real test of the strength of their
resolutions will now confront
those of our citizens who claim
Germany and her allied powers
as their native countries. 1t is
only natural during the past two
years, while all of Europe. has
been torn with the war, that our
naturalized citizens from the
different countries should be the
partisans of their native land;
but so strong is our faith in these
children of adoption, who are
now thoroughly imbued with the
spirit of our free institutions,
that they will be as loyal to the
flag of the United States as the
descendants of our revolutionary
fathers. If our government
eventually gets into the war it
will not be for the purpose of
destroying the German people,
but to destroy the militarism of
Germany as exemplified by the
Kaiser and his war lords. They
are a menace to the peace of the
whole world. In their war mad
ness they are violating all the
rules of civilized warfare, ruth
lessly killing citizens of neutral
countries, sinking hospital ships,
and ships bearing relief to
stricken Belgium. 1t is no long
era concealed fact that Germany
hopes to make herself the mill
tary dictator of the world in the
event she can accomplish the ov-
erthrow of the entente allies, and
to win his ambition to be the rul-
ing war lord he has trampled
under foot all the rights of the
smaller neutral nations success
fully and now hopes to do the
same with the United States.
Here he has made his fatal mis-
take. The United States is for
peace, but it will not quietly
sacrifceits rights and it's honor
in cowardly submission to foreign
encroachments. How long the
war will last if this country en-
ters actively into the field of
hostilities no one can tell, but
one thing is when peace is
proclaimed the rule of the Hohen-
zollerns will be at an end, and
ambitious militarism will be wip-
ed out forever.

rate of nearly 100000 tons month, the amount German naval authorities set as necessary to starve the British Isles. At that rate it would take Just four years to- destroy the tonnage or the entire world--48, 100000 tons if all the worlds ships ventured into the war zone.
 Reports from Lloyd's Shipping Agency put the tonnage sunk on Feb ruary 5, and at about S5,o0O tons.
 The world turned out in 1916 less than ?, 100000 tonnage of merchant vessels . During the year the Germans sank a trihea more than that making the net loss in. words shipping about ih per cent. ':s seE,ss.
 Ship manufa cturers in all the al- lied and neutral countries are rushing work on merchant ships. Vessels have been standardized, and it is al- most impossible to have made any where a ship of special construction. The British government is having built great steel cargo ships, all alike, ana of the simplest construction. The yards are busy night and day on the11 construction and, as they are off the ways, keels will be laid for more.
 There are no figures to show the amount of tonnage constantly on the seas carving goods to and from the British Isles. United States customs reports show that about 1.5OO, ,O0O tons clear from American ports every month but, as some vessels clear twice

Friedman turned, his hand extended and a smile of vel come on his face. Then he recog- nized Cantren, despite his clean shaven face and backed into a corner. The butler had hurried away before | realizing that anything was wrong. For a. minute, according to Fried man, there was silence, and then he said; T don't want to talk to you Cantrell muttered something about his. financial troubles, and MT.

A second revolver was found on 1 the floor near the body but none o1 the cartridges had been exploded.

ENGLAND FACING :. A LABOR CRISIS
More Than 6,ooo,ooO Will Be
 Thrown Out Of Work

London. Feb. 9.-Labo and capital have joined hands to work out scheme for reinstating in civil em- nlovment after the war the men now em ployed in the field or in munitions factories The number of persons now on government payrolls who Will be discharged after peace is declared is from 6.O00,oo0 to 8,o0O,o0o. seven eighth of whom are men. This rep resents nearly half the wage-earning nonulation of the United States king dom.
 Demobilization may extend over several years. The process will prop ably begin with the intuition work ers, many of whom are liable to dls- charge at short notice. Army dis bandment must proceed slowly, and, unless normal conditions are speeded up, will be very gradual.
 The employers decided to combine with labor in working out thds dndus- trial reform scheme after the labor men through the Joint labor commit tee on labor problems after the war had formulated a list of concessions for the men. This committee is rep resentative of all the big labor organ izations in the country.
 The committee urged that the gov ernment should make workers in mu- nitions and other war trades the same kind of provision as has been already ] promised for the discharge soldier, 1n- cluding: A months leave on full pay free railway ticket to any place ill the United Kingdom, unemployment benefit available for a year, and or garized facilities for obtaining fresh employment.
 This action led to the meeting of ! leading employers and heads of the ! big trade unions. It was realized that l if the huge task of getting men back to their old places after the war was 1 left to the labor exchanges a collapse l was threatened and trouble sure to 1 follow. The meeting, therefore, re- l solved that it was necessary to cre- l ate a special organization consistin g mainly of representative of mploy 1 CTS and trade unions. It's action is l taken seriously not only because the l meeting was presided over by Fred
 erick Huh Jackson, one of the gov l ernors of the Bank of England, but
 because of the representative char
 acter of both em ployer and employed. l The HTbt TeQ ulSlte fdlu uoNu Ill I1ie ! resolution in the resolutions passed Is
 "the cordial and whole-hearted CO., operation of employers and employed
 in any scheme for dealing with the l Ia bor problems A
 The substance of the resolutions ] were: That powers should be ob-
 tained from parliament to set up with out delay a Central Statutory Board
 to regulate and supervise (a) the re- instatement in civil employment of the
 present forces; (b) the settlement in
 normal employment of civilian work CTS now in government or controlled
 esta blishments; Co any general redis-
 tribution of labor arising out of the
 war.

 LOSS OF HIS MONEY
Clothing Dealer Wounds Cotton Man and Commits Suicide

THE SERVANT GIRL AGAIN.
Work on Munitions Lures Her From
 DuSter


 New York Feb. 9.-Because the servant problem is growing steadily worse, a, surprising number of private houses will remain closed this season, and the former occupants will spend a greater part of their time in the country or in hotels. The continued warm weather last Autumn kept peo- pie in the country later than usua ', and now that they have returned to the city they find that donlestics can not be obtained. The demand for servants far ex : ceeds the supply, and the war is re- sponsible. Girls who did housework l have been lured from this sort of la Dor by higher pay in munition fac tories and other factories expanded by l made $7 and ss week ana their board with private families have places now for from s12 to ST a week They are able to have more of their time to themselves, and in many in stances their lunches are provided by their employers.
 Employment agencies report that never in their history was there such l a demand for domestics as before the l holidays. The shortage also applies tc nurses and governesses. Men have re gently been employed to wheel baby carriages by families whose nurse: had left them for higher wages in fac 1 tories. The hotels on the upper Wes l side and in the residential section! 1 have been most affected by this de 1 mand. IT.

Coroner Riordan MT. Friedman made

Coroner Riordan MT. Friedman made this statement: &
 "Cantrell had been following me for some time. He appeared at my country home and wanted me to give him place, saying I didn't treat him right. He said I made him lose money He had called at my mousse here several times and each time had been refused admittance. The serV- ants had orders never to admit him. but he eluded their vigilance by shaV- ing off his moustache. The. servants did not recognize him with his lip cleanly shaven.'
 Information obtained by the cor oner revealed that Friedman had for months been in fear of an attack by Cantrell and had even provided him. self with bodyguard from private detective agency. He lived alone in the big house, it was said, and be- cause of the dread that was hanging over him had given strict orders to his servants, describing Cantrell to them. and demanding that they eXer- else the greatest care before admit ting any one of whose identity they were not positive.
 That was the way matters stood shortly after 6 o'clock last night when Ia telephone message was received oy MT. Friedman announcing that MOT rel Weil credit man for MT. Fried mans Chicago office, would call upon him. Promptly at 6:30 o'clock the butler brought Mir. Friedman a great bouquet of rosesfand a card bearing

the figures are misleading. About the same amount of tonnage arrives monthly from European ports
 Of the 4S,000,00.0 tons of merchant ships in the world Great British owns about 20,000,000 tons. The United States is second with little more than 6,0OO,0O0 tons, of which 2,000, 900 tons is in lake and river trade.
