Kaiser's Chancellor Predicts
Popular Government for Germany

Of the nation. We can only pursue
such a policy if the patriotism which
during the war has developed to such
a marvellous reality is maintained
and strengthened"
The chancellor went on to declare
that the maintenance of patriotism
could only be achieved by granting
the people in general equal co-opera-
ton in the administration of the en-
pire.
WOE to the statesman" he said,
"who does not recognize the signs of
the times and who, after this catas-
trophe, the like OF which the world
has never seen, believes that he can
take up his work at the same point at
which it was interrupted. will de-
vote my last effort to the carrying
out of this idea of making our people
strong. Only one thought fills me
and all of US at present-how to end
the war VIGOROUSLY. AS the war can
only be won by the exertion of our
greatest possible mas, power, the
truth of which must, be admitted, l
have freely spoken my thoughts on
the internal policies Of our people

after the war, involving greater

Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg

testing against criticism levelled at
the Reichstag by the upper house Of
the Diet. Admitting that every par
lament in Germany is entitled to dis
cuss imperial policies, he reiterated
previous assurances that the war
must lead to a political reorganiza-
ton and the government would, after
the close of hostilities, propose a re-
form OF the Prussian franchise.

The brotherhood chiefs then left
the conference and returned to their

luncheon brought in to them, began

An impression was gained, how
ever, that both sides were in con-

thresh their controversy out If there

men, according to their spokesman,

war come, patriotism would make
them feel obliged to stay at work.

inent issued by the managers, that
the patriotism and loyalty Of our men
will not countenance any rash move
ment which may seriously embarrass
the government and give the impress
sion outside our border that this
country is torn by industrial strife
and therefore is easy prey to any for
eign foe"
at is too late for them to now
pose as patriots, hoping thereby to
defeat the Just contentious of their
employees" says statement issued by
the brotherhood leaders in answer to
this appeal.

SAVING STEPS IN BUSINESS
Pinch in Transportation Facilities
Call for Closest Attention Of
American Industry.

American business is quite likely to
learn, partly as a result of the war,
that to survive and develop properly
1t must cut out waste to a far greater
extent perhaps than men have
dreamed, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
One Of the biggest leaks is probably in
transportation, and as people Ameri-
cans have been reckless in their use of
this commodity, if it can be called
such. With the present pinch in trans
pOrtation facilities, now is u good time
to take account of stock.
American business and industry will
have to learn how to save it's steps.
Some day it will learn that it is folly
to drug coal barges 80 miles down the
Delaware and 100 miles or SO up the
coast when ship canal to New York
could cut off the latter leg of that
trip. Some day 1t will see that there
Is no use hauling a very large part Of
the fuel which now clogs the railroads
and that it would be cheaper to ex-
tract its chemical contents and burn
the resulting coke to make electric
current in great central stations for
distribution over q wide area.
The more American business saves
from purposeless and unscientific cart
ing of things about, the more will be
available for serious and beneticent
aims. Americans should save their
steps.

SEEK SAFETY IN LANDING
H'oh speed AirpIanss Have Drawbacks
That Engineers Aro Now
Trying 70 Overcome.

Az the present writing there is no
evidence of any plane that has e1-
ceeded 13O miles in steady flight, and
these are only the lightest and most
dangerous types. with landing speeds
OF from IS to 80 miles an hour. Few,
II any, have been equipped with en-.
gtnes exceeding 100 horsepower.
There is no inherent reason why this
horsepower cannot be approximately
doubled, Carl Snyder writes in Col
Hers. This would be sufficient to
drive strongly constructed reliable
trfplane. carrying perhaps two passen.
gers. at from 20 to 80 miles an hour
faster than any airplane has yet flown.
Such machine is actually under con.
struction in this country; and as the
Germans have been steadily little
ahead Of the allies, so fur as their ma
chlnes are cOncerE.d, there is little
reason to doubt that similar expert
ments are under way in Germany.
If some retarding device can be
found which will lower the landing
speed to reasonably safe point, these
machines will outclass anything that
has SO far been built.
AS far as the design Of these engines
Is concerned, they differ in no import
ant particular, except their weight
fropa the finer type of motor car mo-
tors. A fine aero engine is simply an
astonishingly clever piece of mechan-
tcal construction. 1t is yorv nearly
handmade from end to end.

We've got new boy in our Office,
all on account of the old one having

Long before any draft was made
We had boy stenographer and type
writer named Melville F. Bremen, and
we also sent him out to dress up show
windows with our cards and goods.
"One day he came down to the office
with queer looking package. When
he uncovered it it was found to be q
secondhand clarinet, and almost be-
fore we knew how he was spending his
spare time he was giving us something
that sounded like a cross between
America and Marching Through
Georgia. However, the boy had plen-
ty Of persistence and he stuck to his
clarinet despite the fact that his folks
threatened to chase him up in the attic
Of his home. He'd bring the thing down
to the office now and then and let out
blast that caused general consterna-
ton.
However, Melville managed to at.
tract the attention of the bandmaster
OF the Second Illinois infantry, and

the broadcast Irish smile you ever saw
