LABOR men NOT To
STRIKE DURING WAR
TROUBLES FoREsTALLED BY
COMMITTEE OF NATIONAL DE-
TENSE COMMISSION.
HEADED BY SAMUEL G0MPERS
Since Leaders of Labor and Capital
Are On Committee Action Predicts
Freedom From Disputes.

Washington-No strikes or labor
disputes of any kind during the war.
This is the program of the labor COM
mittee of the Council of National De,
fense's advisory commission, headed
by Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor.
In report unanimously adopted
by the council and commission the
committee declares "the defense and
safety of the nation must be the first
consideration of all patriotic citizens"
and proposes whenever emergencies
arise requiring a change of standards,
such changes should be made only af-
ter investigation and approval by the
council Of national defense.
Since the labor committee member
ship includes both leaders of organ
lied labor and representative of in
fluential employers, its action is in
terpreted as giving the United States
promise of complete freedom from in
dustrial disputes such as hampered
England early in the war.

Washington-The nation has settled

congress prepared for the long drive
TO carry out the stupendous war plans
which have been agreed upon.
The first real war news, Wash
ington believes, will come from
somewhere in the Atlantic" where
the American grand feet is under war
orders shrouded in mystery. No word
as to the disposition of a single unit
of the fleet will be given out at the
navy department, Secretary Daniels
said, until there is definite news Of
actual occurrences.
The censorship will be rigidly main
tanned until an actual engagement has
taken place, and even then the an
nouncement may be delayed.
Meantime Americas naval force is
at sea, ready for action, whether it
be against the submarine menace that
strikes in the dark, or German raid
ers, skulking in the by-ways OF the

BRITISH GAIN ON WEST FRONT
Berlin War Office Admits Retreat on
Several Points.

London-What seemingly is the
commencement of a big offensive by
the British forces in France has be-
gun along a 15-mile line extending
from Lens to the village of Henin-
Sur-Cojeul, lying to the southeast Of
Arras.
On the entire line big gains in ter
rain have everywhere been made.
Heavy casualties have been inflicted
on the Germans and, in addition, pris-
6ners running into the thousands
and great quantities of war material
were captured.
The official communication issued
by the war Office at Berlin says that
heavy fighting took place on both sides
of Arras, 1.-The enemy having forced
his way into parts of our positions. :"
The report adds that there was strong
artillery firing on the Aisne and Cham

RUSSIA LOYAL TO ALLIES
Duma Adopts Resolution Calling on
Nation to Remain United.

London-The Russian official news
agency in a dispatch from Petrograd
says constitutional democrats in the
duma have adopted a resolution ex-
pressing fullest confidence in the for
eign policy of the provisional govern
ment based upon fidelity to all present
alliances. The resolution calls upon
the nation to unite in support of the
government to bring the war to vic
torious end
News of the vote Of the Russian
duma unfolding the nations agree
ments with the Entente and calling for
the wars continuance to a victorious
end is interpreted here as an answer
to the latest efforts of Berlin to bring
about a separate peace.
Prior to the arrival of the Petro-
grad dispatch, word reached here from
Berlin that Germany was engaged in
a supreme effort to win Russia from
the Entente. The action of the duma,
however, It is believed, will convince
the Berlin statement that further eff
forts are useless.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy

save your hair.

take on that life, luster and luxuriance
which is so beautiful. 1t will become

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR

1t is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel. cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form Of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.

bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it, that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet

given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.

OF California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly

HORSES VERY SELDOM DEAF
immunity in This Respect Is More
Striking as Equnes Are Free
quently Blind.

The ordinary immunity of horses
from deafness is a great advantage to
the human race, for the value of Il
horse which could not hear the COM
mand to 60 or to stop ana which could
not be quoted, controlled and encOur-
aged by the human voice when fright
ened or in difficulties would be greatly
lessened. The horse is really one of
the best listeners In the world, the
"Nomad" writes in the Boston Eve
ming Transcript. He is always on the
alert for sounds which concern or
interest him. When he looks at any
thing he turns his ears toward it, to
observe the better whether any sound
comes from It, If horse is particu-
larry interested in your driving of him,
he always turns his ears backward to-
ward you, but If he has no concern on
that subject, or if he sees anything
ahead that interests him. he Keeps his
ears pricked forward. A horse hears
the whinny of another horse at a
greater distance than the average man
can hear IL.
This comparative immunity is more
remarkable from the fact that horses
are often blind or have defective eye
sight. We see blind horses every day
and always sympathize with them, but
IT is certainly wonderful how they get
along 50 well. The guidance by the
rein, of course, helps them greatly but
the "NOmad" is told by the para
grapher at the next table that he
once knew pair of totally blind
horses which were driven among
stumps in blowing rough ground, and
that they picked their way among the
stumps as successfully as seeing
horses could have done. 1t is possible
that blindness Is compensated I'm a
horse by a special faculty for feeling
its way, just as blind people have a
particular keenness of the sense of
touch.

VOTE REFORM FOR GERMANY
Kaiser Says Masses Are to Have Vote
After War.

Amsterdam-Direct and secret cleo
ton OF delegates in Prussia at the end
of the war, is provided for by Emperor
William in his order to Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg directing reforms
in the Prussian electoral law.
He declares 'in view of the gigantic
deeds OF the entire people there is no
more room in Prussia for elections
by the classes"
The action of the emperor is inter
preted as an attempt to check the in
sistent demand for an immediate
franchise reform. The concessions
are only partial as provision is not
made for an equal ballot. This un-
doubtedly means extra votes still be
granted individuals for wealth and ed
vocational qualifications.

STRONG INFLUENCE OF PETS
Manifestations Of Love for Them
Among Children First Signs Of
Growth Of Sympathy.

Discussing the influence of pets on
children in an article recently printed
In the Michigan Farmer, N. A. Clapp
says:
Among the strongest inclinations
and sentiments which we admire and
highly esteem in men and women, is
love, sympathy and kindly feeling
toward others. Those feelings are
breathed into the lives of the chill
dren by the mothers, while the chill
dren are very young, and the first OPP
portunity offered for the expression of
those feelings is when they come In
contact with their pets. The children
love 20 fOndle their pets and tenderly
handle them just as they In turn have
been handled by their loving parents.
Their expressions of love for, and ap-
probation of, the pets, are sometimes
amusing to older people, but 1t is the
bud just forming of a beautiful flower
In the character of the individual.
Such manifestations of feelings are
the first signs of the making Of agree
able people and they should be en-
couraged, but never blighted by harsh
and cutting remarks.
MANY men retain, as long as they
live, pleasant memories of the days
when they were given a puppy and
allowed TO play with 1t. Then when
1t grew up and became companion
and friend wherever they roamed, II
was their faithful servant that never
betrayed them. Later In life they
have awakened to the fact that no
matter If misfortune Overtakes them
there are two friends that will re-
main true TO them and always mani
fest an unyielding love for, and faith
fulness TO them-they are the dog and
the mother"
