WHY NOT TREAT YOUR EN-
PLOYES AS PARTNERS.

One Of the causes of difference
between employers and employees is
the fact that neither makes any eff
fort TO see things from the Others
viewpoint.
If each put himself in the others
place there would not be the feeling
OF antagOnism which so often exists
between the heads and the helpers.
There are employers whose only
inteIes seems 10 be 10 get the most
service for the smallest possible
wages.
There are employees whose sole eff
fort seems 10 be TO do as little as
possible and hold down their jobs.
Both are wrong, and when two
such forces meet there is bound to
be trouble.
The man who drives, unfeelingly,
never gets full results from his
men.
The man who has to be driven
never gives the service of which he
is capable.
There is a common ground of per
sonaI Interest, and with a sincere
desire TO be fair TO each other. en-
ployers and employees can keep their
business ADJOINING.

The Making of Soldier of the Seas
BY RICH ARD BOECKEL.
Written for the Int national News Service

A MARINE CORPS CANTON
MENT, Nov. 6.-"Why we didn't
take it originally the Lord only
knows-and He isn't telling But
we've got it now and we'll make
good use Of it when we get over"
A marine corps commander was
speaking of the Lewis machine gun.
Before the outbreak of the great
war the gun was offered TO the wa.
department by its inventor. a retir-
ed army officer. II was rejected. In
1914 the gun was taken up by the
English army Hundreds OF thou
sands of them were turned out. To-
day expert observers say the Lewis
gun is winning the war.
In spite Of its success on the west
ern front the gun was rejected
again and again by the war depart
ment on new tests, until the con-
trOVersy over ii assumed the pro-
portions OF a scandal. Competent
officers of the ordnance department
of the army gave weighty opinions
explaining exactly why the gun was
not acceptable. Secretary Baker
subscribed to those opinions and
thought the controversy was ended.
Then suddenly the war cloud ap-
peared. Secretary Of the Navy Dan
tells placed an order for a very large
number of Lewis guns in spite of
the war departments condemnation.
Today the marine corps is fully
equipped with Lewis guns. The
army is, in the words of its officers,
literally crying for them" And
they are being turned out just as
fast as the Savage Arms company
can make them.
statistics show that go per cent
of the casualties in this war are
caused by machine guns the COM
mander of a marine corps machine
gun company said today. ION these
figures IL is safe to say that the side
with the most machine guns is the
side that will.win the war. At the
beginning the allies were far be-
hind. Germany was we'll equipped
and the casualties resulting from
the unpreparedness OF England and
France during the early months OF
the war were frightful.
Those countries have been max
ing machine guns just as fast as
they could be made ever since and
the United States is taking their
good example. Than the Lewis gun
no better weapon has been found.
Ny company IS entirely equipped
with them and we expect TO do some
considerable damage when we set
about IL over there"
The Lewis gun looks most un-
wieldy II is like a rife with a stove
pipe fitted over the barrel. The reg
uIar army rife weighs nine pounds
The Lewis gun weighs q pounds.
The simplicity OF the gun is amaz-
| ing.
There is one corporal In ma
chine gun squad in training here
who can take his gun all apart and
put il together blindfolded in four
minutes. The average for the en-
tire company is 10 minutes. No
elaborate tools are required TO re-
pair the gun. The only tool needed
