WHITE SLAVE STORY

When a contractor starts to build
q great building. he goes down into the
filth and slime for his foundation. but
the building stands just as firmly.
when finished, az though it were built
on white stone. That's what Whitney
Collins did when he wrote 1.-THE Girl
Without q Chance" which will be seen
at the Missoula theater New Years.
He went into the slums of a great city.
He brought forth characters that were
reeking with crime, but they were hu-
man. He brought scenes that will
cause a lump to rise in your throat,
but they are true. He brought forth
q wonderful character in the irrepressi-
BILE Jerry Sullivan" but he, too, is q
picture from life and one that will
make the world better for his having
been in it. The metropolitan papers
unite in calling this the most delight
full play OF the year.
Lesson 10 Obvious.
1.-THE Girl Without a Chance" Is n
play that every father and mother
should witness. 1t teaches a lesson
that all have overlooked.
The characters and the situations are

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Book
print paper manufacturers have made
an agreement with the federal trade
commission by which unfair trade
practices will be stopped and no
further action taken on the com
missions complaint that manufac-
turers conspired to keep prices up.
The commissions order is one of
the most sweeping ever issued by
that body. The manufacturers are
ordered to dissolve their bureau of
statistics, to resign from MEMBERSHIP
in the bureau to refrain from or
ganizing it or from becoming mem
bers of any similar organization,
They are also ordered to cease en-
gaging in any concerted movement
to advance the price of book print

Russia, but none of them impressed
me more than a young Jewess, Lydia
Rabinovitch, university girl about
81 years of age. She was able, bril-
liant and is doing wonderful work
among the people. She is doing her
utmost to keep them firm and urge
them to fight to retain the liberty
they have gained. She is one of
many who are convincing the Rus
slams of the truth that the Kaiser
will strip them bare and they will be
returned to the old condition; that
the reign of czars will be restored if
there is, any cessation of the struggle
short of the complete overthrow of
Prussian militarism.
81 hope my friends, the Jews of
America, will awake to the peril that
confronts their people in Russia, that
confronts democracy everywhere. The
Russian line must hold. Disloyalty at
this hour weakens that line. 1t is
to the interest of every Jew every
where that the Russian Republic be
preservd. Everyone should most
obviously be on the side of the al
lies. Jews who left Russia on &C
count of her intolerance, oppression
and tyranny should be the last
ones that would do anything that
would support autocracy or to fail to
do their utmost to further democ-
racy in Russia and in all other coun-
tries of the world. 1t is most OBJ
vious that democracy means liberty
and equality for the Jew and for
everybody else.
Great care should be taken here
that we avoid utterances that Ger
man agents in Russia may distort to
further the false impression in Rus
STA that the people of the United
States, the greatest of democracies
have no sympathy for Russia and
will not give their staunchest sup
port"

MUCH WAR WORK
AT NAVY YARDS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. IT,
Nearly $4,000 appointments were
made to the forces of mechanics,
helpers, and laborers at navy yards
and other naval establishments dur
ing the fiscal year ended June 80,
1914, and since that date appoint
ments have been made in increased
proportion.
An appropriation of $7,500,000 is
now being expended in the enlarge
ment of the great naval gun fac
tory at Washington, which, when
completed, will furnish employment
for 1000 or more skilled mechanics,
in addition to the 5000 already at
work in the plant. In this man.
moth factory, one of the best equip
ped and most interesting in the
world, are built the great guns for
our war vessels, which carry to ev-
cry country the message of Amer
ica's ability to protect herself and
to safeguard the rights of her citi-
zens whenever they may be.
The new naval aircraft factory
at Philadelphia, which will be com
pleted this month, will also employ
about 5000 men.
The workers who man such plants
are of superior class, and they
feel a personal pride in turning out
products that will stand the test of
conflict with the arms of other ma
tions. A considerable part of the
building of war vessels is also done
in Government yards.
The United States Civil Service
Commission, which is charged with
the task of recruiting the ranks of
this great civilian army, through its
widespread organization is furnish
ing the men as they are needed. In
certain trades, particularly those
connected with shipbuilding, there is
usually a shortage. Sailmakers,
coppersmiths, shipfitters, angle
smiths, blacksmiths, and machinists
are especially needed. Women to
operate power sewing machines are
also in great demand. The repre-
sentatives of the Civil Service Com
mission at the post offices in all
cities are the civil service. The
commission urges competent mechan-
les to offer their services to the
Government at this time of great
need.
