"Industral ldealism was ably dis
cussed by lis most brilliant advocate
at the armory Saturday night, when
Miss Ida Tarbell, who has devoted her
life to the study of industrial affairs,
and the conditions surrounding work
men, and who is probably the best IN
formed person in the country on the
subject, lectured to an audience that
filled the big building. She has few Of
the graces of the orator and this tend
ed to heighten the effect of her lecture;
for she just stood on the platform and
had friendly talk with the crowd.
She took the ground that without
ideals there was no accomplishment
person without an ideal for which he or
She was striving was simply the wire
with the electricity shut off. Her talk
was mostly of her experiences IN years
of investigation, and was brimful OF
human interest. The American ideals
she said were at the start the finest
imaginable, veritable democracy OF
industry where the employer generally
worked along with his workmen and
SO understood the needs and feelings
Of the latter. This has all been chang
ed, and instead one big company, Unit
ed States Steel, now employees an army
.of 100000 men in its various depart
ments. Naturally these conditions have
changed the relations Of the employer
and the employed. There is no longer
the immediate contact with the employe
Instead of democracy of industry we
have built up q privileged class indust-
ry. She laid especial stress upon the
fact that some men had ideals as to
business and mentioned several great
corporations that looked upon employees
mot as machines, but as fellow workers.
She went on to show what some OF these
companies had done in the way Of bet
tering conditions and giving TO their
men something better than wages

A Stubborn Little Girl

HER BIG FOOD SUPPLIES

Has Massed Troops Along
Dutch Frontier Ready for
Quick Raid
BY Ed I. Keen.

Omitted Press staff eorrespondent.)
London, Feb. 26.-Conviction grew in
Great Britain today that Germany dehh-
erately planned the torpedoing Of the
seven Dutch ships reported ON Saturday
to have fallen victims to German truth
lessness.
The belief was based on the theory
that Germany with her belt tight from
lack of food, has for long time looked
longingly at comfortable, well fed Hol-
land, her acres under cultivation, and
deliberately sought to force The Neither
lands government into war so that she
might raid this storehouse of a nation
This assumption, it was pointed out,
would explain the mysterious massing
Of large German forces on the Dutch
border and the treachery of Berlin in
not living up to a safe conduct grant to
the Dutch vessels.
The Dutch situation was eagerly dis
cussed here today, being nearly as
prominently displayed in the newspa-
pers as the German retreat around Ba-
Ipaume.

AMSRICAN VESSEL IN
MOST PECULIAR STORM

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, August 81.
The most severe storm that the cap
tain Of that vessel ever experienced
struck an American vessel about 300
miles out of New York on the last
trip to the West Indies. Although
little damage was done, everybody was
pretty badly shaken up. Because the
captain received no warning from the
weather bureau he thinks that the
storm must have originated about
where it struck his vessel.
The gale hit the steamer about 4
p. m. Thursday and before that it
had reached velocity of about 100
miles an hour. The captain was par
TALLY prepared for what was coming
by the astounding fall in the barometer
which went as low as 2S.7 but, in spite
Of every effort made by the crew 10
make things light, the sea got into
some Of the staterooms and everything
was drenched. Some of the portfolios
in the bow were stove in and all the
awnings were carried aay. The wire
storm and the stays of the masts were
broken so that it was feared that these
would be taken away too.
The vessel was forced to head right
into the teeth of the gale and such
was the force of the wind that the
steamer covered only 70 miles in
twenty-four hours durinq the gale The
storm abated about a. m. and the
steamer entered San Juan harbor in
safety.
Though there was no one injured,
the passengers were so grateful to the
captain that they prepared testimonials
expressing deep appreciation and
gratitude for his able seamanship and
management Of the ship during the
dangerous tempest"

ROUTINE LIFE OF SOLDIERS
OF NEW NATIONAL ARMY

ATLANTA, Ga, August 31-What
will be the schedule or program OF
the men of the National army in the
training camps which open in septem
Der?
This question is in the mind of every
rclaive and friend of the drafted men,
and in the minds especially Of the peo-
pie in cities near which the training
camps are located
No enc in Atlanta. of course, can
s eak for the commanders of camps
AWAY from this city, but so far as Ma
jor General Eben Swift is concerned,
his program for the men of Camp
Gordon seems to be pretty definitely
formulated in his own mind
In the first place, no soldier Will be
allowed to come to Atlanta until he
has been completely equipped with uni
form, shoes, hat, leggins, etc. After
that, no soldier will be allowed to
come to the city until he has mastered
the first rudiments of military disci-
pine such as holding his shoulders
erect, saluting his superior officers, be-
having himself, etc. after that, not
more than 5000 soldiers a day will be
allowed to leave the camp, and they
win not be allowed to leave until )
O'Clock in the afternoon, and must be
back in bed by 10 O'clock.
Hence it would seem thai most of
the visiting between soldiers and their
relatives and friends will be confined
to the large recreation halls at Camp
Gordon. While 5000 soldiers are in
the city seeing the moyy shows and
otherwise amusing themselves, $4,000
soldiers will be at the camp, receiving
their visitors in the reception halls.
Twelve hours a day every day, in,
Saturday but not including
will be the program for the
men Of the National army who must
be turned from raw recruits into train
ed soldiers in the pink of condition
within six months.
