Uncle sam is going take hand in producing text

pose is to make that the rising generation will

Just what Uncle Sam going to teach his nephews

in the form Of long lists Of dates The October eahet
for example tells about western pioneer the
colonial farm run the spinning and dyeing OF
linen early days Of Americas colonial life And
this delightful history will show pupils today
how different things were in the old days when home
was almost everything from factory to church Then
will come development in the OF water-power

world Of today cities, its factories its new
methods Of production transportation and commu
ncaton The will teach the inevitable inter

for cooperation at home abroad.
The actual facts taught will be the very facts
school children taught years. But they
will be related to each other and TO ihe needs of
day life and to the ideals and labor that make for
progress It sounds fascinating enough make
ups wish they could school to Uncle sam. too.

1t was on the morning of Nov.
90. 1914. that the western world
received the news Of a navai en-
gagement in the Black sea, result
ing in a Russian defeat. The Goeben
and the Breslau, erstwhile German
cruisers, had met and stood off the
entire Russian Black sea division,
composed Of two battleships and
five cruisers. The action was one Of
many occurring in all corners Of the
world. as the armed sea forces of
the contending powers were settling
TO a balance after the first thrill Of
the nations anger. The heavy fleets
had scurried TO their bases, there to
prepare for attack or defense, as
their strategy dictated. An allied
cruiser division was taking up sta
tons OF blockade and heavier ships
were securing the seas in fleet for

German cruisers were terrorizing
commerce and destroying less en-
terprising English vessels Of war.
The battle cruisers Goeben and
Breslau were trapped in a North
African port by a British fleet. The

The most important change in In

who have resided certain time in
England may compete on an equal

atoms here. In the future, however,
there will DE bffurcated enrolment,

PENSIONERS in
ENGLAND UNITE
nv Asrocia,ed PraslI

LONDON, Eng. What Is practically
a trade union Of soldiers and sailors
and their dependents entitled to PEN
sion or separate allowance has just
been organized. II Is called the Naval
ana Military War Pensions and Vel
fare League. It's objects are 10 pre-
vent corruption IN the administration
Of pensions and 10 see that justice IS
done TO pensioners IN -this and other
wars
Some idea OF the power thar the
new organization may WELD in the
affairs OF the nation may be gained
from the fact that there WIN be 5,000,-
600 discharged soldiers and sailors,
who form az least half the electorate
OF the canntry.
The League was launched by ]. M.
Hogge, the chairman Of the pensions
committee OF the House OF Commons,
who was entrusted by the government
with the task Of finding solution for
some OF the difficulties already con-
fronting the dependents OF men who
had given their lives in the war. Thou
sands OF people complained that they
had been overlooked by the pensions
department and returned soldiers. in
capacitated by injury were not getting
allowances.
The League is the most comprehen-
siye scheme yet suggested for dealing
with the pensions problem. 1t Is pro-
posed that membership shall, for sums
varying from six pencs twelve cents)
to one pound, be open to all directly
associated with the issue of pensions
that is potentially the whole of the
army and nayy-to their wives and
dependents. and to anyone else who
Is interested in the welfare Of soldiers
and sailors. The object OF the League
include those of representing the re,
turned soldier in Parliament, watch
ing the administration Of pensions"
protecting the future interests OF PEN
siOners', and organizing all pensions
for this and other vars.
Some idea of the scope of the
League may be gained from the fol-
lowing recommendations:
That there should be a minimum
scale Of pensions below which no one
should fall.
That the scale should be elastic so
that the pension should tit the man
and not the man the pension.
That every man accepted as medi-
cally fit should, If he 10 afterwards
"scrappedp be pensioned as II he had
been really medically tit
That every consumptive soldier or
sailor should be helped.
That mother should be entitled 70
