"WHAT SERIOUS MISTAKE OF GREAT BRITAIN DOES OUR METHOD OF RAISING AN
 ARMY AVOID?"

An interview with Dr. c. C. God frey, Chairman of the Committee on Sanitation and Medicine, of the Con- pecticut State Council of Defense.
 Dr. c. c. Godfrey, of Bridgeport who is chairman of the Committee on Sanitation and Medicine of the Con- nectlcut State Council of Defense con- tends that, from the medical stand point, the most serious mistake made by Great Britain in the war was in the method of supplying the army with medical officers and the disregard of the future need of medical men to care for the civil portion of the coun- try. pr. Godfrey was asked by a rep resentative of the Connecticut State Council of Defense, in series of Made in Connecticut War Interviews" the question What serious mistake of Great Britain does our method of raising an army avoid?" and made the following statement:
 At the beginning of the war. Eng land called into service large numbers of her best surgeons, and enlisted the able-bodied men from the corps of medical students for service in the army. This was done with the one object of caring for the army needs, and without proper consideration of the many other objects which require medical skill. For it is just as essen tial that medical men should care for the civil. as it is that they should care for the military requirements.
 Depicting the hospitals and sparse ly settled portions of the country of medical men and the medical schools of their faculties and students, soon brought about a condition where need ed medical aid could not be had, and the needed yearly increment to the mum bers of the medical profession, with internes for the necessary needs of the hospitals, was cut off.
 This may not have seemed so seri- ous at the time, in the light that it was generally believed in England

EX-KING OF GREECE
 FRIEND TO GERMANY
Constantine Desired to Join Central Powers But Feared Consequences
 to Army and Merchant Marine.

London, Aug. 2o.-An Athens de- spatch to the Exchange Telegraph company says that among the diplo- matic documents found there since the change in government is a de- spatch of former King Constantine, written a few days after the war be- gan in response to message from Emperor William, who proposed Greece should range herself on the side of the Central Powers. Constan- tine said in his reply:
 "The Emperor we'll knows my per sonal sympathies. as we'll as my poli- tical opinions, attract me to his side. Nevertheless it is impossible for me to understand in what manner I could be useful to him in mobilizing my army. The Mediterranean is at the mercy of the united fleets of Eng land and France, which could destroy our navy and merchant marine, on the island, and above all, prevent concentration of my army, which could be effected only by sea, in the absence of railway communications Without it being in our power to be useful in any particular we would be wiped off the map. l am necessarily of the opinion that neutrality is inn posed upon us."
 Gottleib Won Jagow, then German foreign secretary, replied to Con- stantine that Emperor William would understand the necessity of mainatin- ing neutrality for the present. He ad- vised Constantine to reach an under standing with Sofia and Constanti- nople.

WAGE INSURANCE.
Trade Unionism the Only Form 81
Practical Value to Workers.

bF&UV OutoUietU htV S"y S''' -
Practical Value to Workers.
Insurance is unquestionably as nee
essary, If not more so, for the wage
Garner than for any one else.
There can be no doubt but that insur-
ance against sickness, accident, unem-
ployment, old age and death are OF the
greatest value to the wage earners, and
the wage earners themselves have
shown their high regard for insurance
through the organization Of fraternal,
beneficial organizations and the estab-
fishing of sick, unemployment and
death insurance features In their trade
unions. But unquestionably the most
important form of Insurance for the
wage earners is wage insurance-the
insurance which guarantees to them
that their wage rate will be increased
The only form Of wage insurance so
ciety which can be Of any practical
value is trade unionism.
Regardless of the other features
which have been Incorporated into the
trade union movement by far the most
important Is the wage insurance fea-
ture, unless we add the fact that In ad-
dition to wage insurance the trade un-
ion movement exists for the purpose OF
guaranteeing to the wage Garner his
Industrial and institutional rights.

AID FOR WOMEN WORKERS.
Wisconsin Industrial Commission Puts
Ban on Night Work.

Wisconsin Industrial Commission Puts
Ban on Night Work.
Night work Of women In Wisconsin
between 9 p. IN. and 9 a. m. has been
stopped by order of the Industrial COM
mission. On petition of the Wisconsin
State Federation of Labor, the Wiscon-
sin Council of Social Agencies and the
Wisconsin Consumers league, the CON-
mission, after hearings and investiga-
lions, decided that night work In fac
tories and laundries Is Questionable
from the standpoint Of the statutes for
bidding employment prejudicial to the
life, health, safety and welfare OF wo-
men," The decision Is in accord with
the regulation contained In state law
enacted in 1918 and declared void BY
the courts last year.
The commission so far, however, has
not attempted to regulate night work
In mechanical and mercantile establish
ments, restaurants, telegraph and teie-
phone offices, express and transporta-
ton houses. Neither does 1t include
pea canneries" within the term manu-
factories, so that in such places women
may work any number Of hours as was
possible formerly in New York state.
Finally the commission failed to reach
any conclusion on the subject Of hours
to be permitted per day, announcing
that further time was necessary to look
into the matter.
Commissioner ]. d. Beck alone adj
vocated immediate action In favor OF
shorter working days, arguing
That the eight hour day will soon be-
come recognized as necessary to the wo-
men factory workers II their health ana
welfare and the welfare of the future
generations are to be fully guarded.
The Kansas state industrial welfare
commission has outdistanced the Wis
consin body In this matter OF hours by
establishing ON July 28 a nine hour day
for women In mercantile establishments.
! Although the merchants pleaded that 1t
was necessary to keep their stores open
later than 0 o'clock on Saturday even
ings, the commission rejected the ap-
peal.
