Of liberalization must be worked out
of the experience gained under the
pressure of emergency, by Congress.
But will the war work as many Won
ders in the sweetening of "politicaif-
zation''. as it has in industrial
processes? The start-off Is not en-
couraging, although Mr.. McAaoo may
be big enough to handle all the Jobs in
sight-if he calls the right men about
him to do the work.
One thing is apparent, the President
has unloaded from his own shoulders
a tremendous burden upon n who
has as much at stake in the same boat
as he. Let us not judge Mr.. McAdoo.s
fitness or unitness, or compare his
abilities with some one we would have
chosen. Let US see what we shall see
and judge the "Director-General Of
Railroads by results accomplished.
Government Services Side by Side.
Certain it is hat out of this new de-
parture in a free country must come
amazing demonstrations for popular
observance. For instance, will the gov
eminent make use of its power to con-
script labor in government railway
ice? If SO. will the government pay
it's ordinary railway soldiers six dol
lars a day and its ordinary army SOL
diers one dollar a day? VIII the gov
listen to all the complaints
and faultfnding in the ranks Of its
railway army, and promptly and IN
tolerantly suppress every whisper in
it's war army?
All these things must appear for
comparison and a great leveling up
must come some time. When the gov
eminent pays or encourages the pay
ment of wages so far superior to those
that n productive agency not
backed by government, can pay, the
government is undermining itself. As
an example. let us take a country side
canning industry. The promoters of
the industry pay such attractive wages
and give such generous hours of labor
that the farming vicinity is robbed Of
its workers and soon the packer has
nothing to pack.
The greatest miracle in a day Of
wondrous miracles is the failure Of
those in high places to see that cities
are developing" themselves to death
by sucking the life blood out of the
territory that makes their existence
possible. The tendency is in the
wrong direction, and the government
is as much to blame as are the city
trade and development boomers, and
the narrow-viewed little labor unions
that set themselves above the Ameri-
"a Union.
The crisis is only a little beyond
eyesight and the embarkation made
today brings it almost into view.

EXPANDING CLOCK BUSINESS
New Haven Firm Hears Opportunity
Knocking at Door.

New Haven, July 3O.-"Now that
Germany has been isolated, the world
is dependent almost entirely upon
the United States for it's supplies of
time-pieces," said Walter Camp,
president of the New Haven Clock
company, today when asked why his
company was expanding.
1.-The large German factories in the
Black Forest region and elsewhere
formerly supplied Russia, the Scan
dinavian countries, many of the Brit
ish dependencies, like India and Aus
tralia, as we'll as Great Britain and
Canada with clocks. Now that these
sources have been cut off, the de-
mand upon factories here has been
increased enormously. and manufac-
turing facilities have proved made
quate to meet this demand in con-
junction with the domestic need for
clocks and low priced watches.
LAS timex pieces have become a
necessity of life in every country, 1t
was essential that this country in
crease its productive capacity as rap
idly as possible, and this country only
be accomplished by an immediate in
crease in capitalization. It seems
strange coincidence that this situation
should have developed in the year
when the New Haven Clock company,
a business started by Chauncey Jer-
ONE, was celebrating it's hundredth
anniversary. the business, now a CEN
fury old, has grown steadily until it's
products are known throughout the
world, but in all these years there
never before were such extraordinary
demands upon our manufacturing
facilities. With the capital raised by
the issuance OF preferred stock, which
will be underwritten by the banking
house Of George H. Burr & Company,
production will be pushed as rapidly
as consistent with the maintenance Of
the high standard OF work which has
always characterized the goods turned
out in this factory"

great. AS you meet them so will
your services be measured by your
country.
1T is in the toll and danger of SO
great an adventure as you are soon
to experience that mans true char
acter will become manifest. He will
be brought face to face with the real
tiles. The little things which once
engrossed his thought and called
forth his energies will be forgotten in
the stern event of his new life. The
sternness of it all will not deprive
