HARDEN BOLDLY:
CONDEMNS HIS
GOVERNMENT
Daring Publicist Praises
America-German For
eign Office Blundered.

Copenhagen, Via London, May L.
"Enfant Terrible publishes in the
latest issue Of Die Zukunft another
daringly frank article exposing to Ger
mar readers the SHANE. %pretences
and mistakes Of their government
policy.
The article is devoted to the entry
of the United States into the war,
which Herr Harden warns the people
must be taken most seriously. both
from the moral side. as a symptom of
the neutral world and the failure OF
her foreign policy. and because Of the
physical aspect of the weight that
America will ultimately be able to
throw into the scale. He declares.
with a daring to which probably no
other German pubhcist is equal, that
Germany's peace. overtures were put
forward only as a bridge over which
Germany could pass to relentless sub
marine warfare.
Herr Harden has only words Of high
praise for President Wilson and his
policy, and reveals in various passages
hermann, which he did not conceal
at the time Of Zimmermann's eleva-
ton to ministerial rank.
Put House in Order.
Another article by Herr Harden
eliminates in an appeal to Germany
to put the interior Of her house in or
der and introduce democratic condi-
tons which the writer says is the only
sur basis for future peace.
Scarcely less noteworthy than his
scathing criticism of German diplo-
macy (but not that Of Count Won
Bernstorff. former ambassador to the
United States, whose work he praises)

dam by a paper company to insure a
sufficient supply Of water for it's pulp
and paper plants at Millinocket.
The new dam replaces an old wood

for a dam. lying between two noun

Water is raised at the new dam Ga
feet above its former height. which
was about 20 feet over the normal
lake surface. Seven former lakes
and ponds have been eliminated In
forming the new storage lake. which.
when filed. is expected to guarantee

WASTE LAND FIT FOR GUAYULE.
Important Rubber Producing Plant
Gould Be RAISED Economically.

OF all rubber producing plants, only
guayule grows wild within our bor-
ders. In the Big Bend territory in
TexAs.a large district. only second in
size to the Chihuahuan field in Next
CO., is available. Why not extend this
field ove the. arid lands Of New Mex
leo, Arizona and Nebraska? Waste
land would be utilized, and a valuable
product secured. Guayule is not new
to the American rubber man, unfor-
tunately it is almost ancient history
to him. 1t Is safe tt say that there
are scattered over this country at
least 50 deresinating plants. intended
primarily for the treatment of this
rubber. At one time they furnished
about one-ffth of, the entire rubber
used in this country. The total pro-
duction of the Mexican guayule fields
was about 10 1000 tons Of the washed
and dried, but not desinated, rubber
q year from 1905 to 1910. In 1911 It
began to fall off. and the recorded
production for 1912 ia $500 tons.
About so per cent Of this production
was exported to the United States.

The Russian Movie Serial.

These repeated overturns in Russia
are most annoying to the travellers and
officials who have lately gone to Rus
STA for. observation and are now back
home telling of their experiences and
giving their views of what Russia is 60
ing to do The tale of the March revo-
luton is already ancient history. The
story of the days of Kerensky's rise and
fall is no longer of great interest. Even
the tale of the bolsheviki movement
seems now to be out of currency. Rus
STA is the greatest moving picture pre-
scented in the world today. It is like
one of the serial films, which give sept
sodes" from week to week, with each
section ending in thrilling situation, q
dramatic climax to lure the patron on
to further indulgence. And this Rus
sian serial is battling to even the
shreudest guessers. No one can venture
10 predict the next episode or what the
END will be. We're it not for the impor-
tant bearing of the Russian situation on
the general war condition it would
stand as a diverting and entertaining
spectacle.

Revise the Pay Scale!

Il is indicated that a disposition pre-
walls in the House of Representatives
to go at once and thoroughly into the
matter of the departmental pay scale,
with view to revision to bring it up
to the mark Of present-day necessities.
This is we'll 1t is to be hoped that the
inclination of members to do justice to
the government employees will result in
an early amendment of the pay scale
from top to bottom - particularly the
bottom-so that the United States gov
eminent will not stand conspicuously as
the poorest paymaster in the country.
Efforts to this same end have been
made in the past, but they have usual
" resulted in reference of the question
to commission or committee, with moth
ing accomplished. There is no occasion
for an exhaustive and time-consuming
inquiry. The facts are patent. The pay
scale speaks for itself. 1t is altogether
out of proportion to the needs of the
people. It has stood unchanged for half
a century. This fact alone stamps it as
out of date Everything needed by the
people who work for the government, as
well as by those who work for others,
has risen in price. The cost scale will
never go down to the point which pre-
vailed when the present pay scale was
adopted.
Meanwhile the question of eontinu-
ing the bonus grant Of last session ap-
pears to have been settled in the at
frmative. The only present doubt is al
to the amount. Since the and 10 per
cent increases were given the cost Of
living has risen, even in the past few
months. Corporations throughout the
country have recognized the fact and
have advanced wages. by giving bonuses
or by actually increasing the scales.
The only consideration at present
should be how much higher these pro-
visional increases should go, pending a
permanent revision of the scale. Fiji
teen per cent for all employees below
81 800 year is suggested as just.
While the government is spending
money at an enormous rate in the wag-
ing of the war, it cannot with justice
deny a living wage to the men and
women who are toiling on responsible
and important duties in the transaction
of, the business which involves those
heavy expenditures. The fact that the
budget is big beyond all precedent is no
reason for an economy that keeps the
departmental clerks down to the edge
of actual penury.

in that body. and might show in the
