Comparative Depletion.

(From the Magazine of Wall Street
1t has been said that history furnishes
no. parallel in any way comparable with
the condition that now exists that the
depletion of the resources of the nations
at war is so enormously greater than
has been the case in previous wars,
which condition is likely to extend to
the United States if the conflict is suffi-
GENTLY prolonged, is producing a state
of affairs that finds no parallel, and that
therefore, it is unsafe to rely on past
experiences. To this it may be said that,
by comparison, the resources of the
Allies are not being strained to greater
extent than were those of England dur
ing the twenty years of Napoleonic
wars, and that the entrance of the Unit
ed States, as belligerent as we'll as an
economic factor, so strengthens the re-
sources of the Allies that no apprehen-
sion need to be felt as to the final re-
suit; the economic effect on this coun-
try.

HARVESTER TRUST PROFITS.

New York.-The international har-
vester corporation, which handles the
export business of the harvester trust,
reports gross earnings OF $9,771 ,O21,
compared with S6,6Os, AGO the year be-
fore Clear profits for 1916 totaled S5,-
137,O9s, against S3,72O,14 in 1915. This
does not include large sums set aside
for depreciation and to Offset possible
war losses.
These stupendous profits interest
thousands of employees in the Deering
and Mccormick plants of the trust vino
struck last year to secure the eight-hour
day and wage increases. Sweeping in
functions were issued against them and
a Polish newspaper was enjoined from
printing an appeal to all working men
to stay away from these plants.

H. c. OF l.. SOLVED AT LAST.

Washington, D. C.-The high cost OF
living, which has baffled poet, prophet
and seer, has been finally solved by
United States Senator Sherman, who
rejects such theories as the war, trusts,
mddemen, the gold supply, por distri-
button, faulty transportation, etc, etc.
High living cost can be traced to fine
factory conditions, union hours and
city life, says this philosopher, who
talks of underlying causes"
SIT is because the help has gone from
the farm" he AYERS. 1T has gone to
the factory, to the counting house, to
the store, to the great manufacturing,
iobbing and retail centers of the coun-
try. These men have gone because they
like the work and get higher wages and
shorter hours. They have more amuse-
ments. City life is more attractive to
the average young person. The result
is that the farm is drained"

Not a Pleasant Experience.
(From the Daily Northwestern. )

(From the Daily Northwestern
Ten years after the Civil War no man
was proud of having been a Copper
head Moreover, you never heard the
descendant of Copperhead boast of
the disloyalty of an ancestor who may
have opposed and harshly criticized the
Government during the memorable
struggle of the cos.
These are facts worth recalling at the
present time, when again there are GER
tain persons in this country who are
prone to criticize and oppose the Gov
ernment and its plans in connection with
the war into which this nation has been
forced n order to protect its honor and
safety. Some there are who conceal
their feelings beneath pretense of pa
triotism, while others are more OUT
spoken in their antagonism to Govern
ment policies, although usually endeav-
oring to keep within the bounds of per-
sonal safety.
In either case, however, American
citizens who take this attitude should re-
call the stigma and disgrace which at
tached to those who acted similarly
during the Civil War, and how it re-
quired years to live down the unenvia-
BILE reputation thus gained. 1t was a
very unpleasant experience for all those
who foolishly permitted themselves to
be classed as Copperheads, and the ex-
perience of present-day Copperheads is
likely to be just as unpleasant and irk-
some.

WAR EMPHASIZES NEED
OF CHILD LABOR LAWS

Washington-"T experience OF
war time has demonstrated the neces-
sity-technical, economic and even ply
siological-of the labor laws enacted
before the war. In our legislation, Sc
cured in time of peace, we shall find the
conditions for a better and more in
tense production during the war"
These words OF Albert Thomas,
French munitions minister, illustrate
the attitude of France and England aft
er two years of emergency exemptions
for war industries, according to the
children's bureau of the United States
department of labor, which has Just
completed a brief review of all avail
able reports on child labor in the war
ring countries.
In France and England, earlier STAN
dards of hours are being restored, not
only to protect the health of the work
ers, but for the sheer sake OF industrial
efficiency, present and future. In Italy
the central committee on industrial
mobilization has taken steps in the same
direction. In Russia, year before the
revolution. a movement was under way
to raise the age limit for children in
industry.
Canada Australia and New Zealand
in spite of the great armies of men they
have sent to the front, have maintained
their labor standards, with little or no
variation. Victoria has slightly increas-
ed the amount of overtime which may
be permitted to women and children
in special cases. On the other hand,
Manitoba has reduced its legal over
time No change in restrictions on
women and child labor is reported from
New Zealand.
In England the war exemptions to the
factory laws have not included low
ering of the age limits for factory work,
and the exemptions to the school at
tendance laws permitted for agriculture
and Eight employment" are now bit
terly regretted by the general educa-
ton authority which has sanctioned
them.

WANT OFFICIALS EXEMPTED.

London, England. In the half-yearly
report OF the National Society OF Oper-

that about 500 letters from members of
this union serving in the various Euro
pean battle regions have been received.
Reference is made to the cheerful
tone OF the letters and to ''the anxiety
displayed by the soldiers that the off
cials of the society should not be called
upon for military service but should re-
main to devote themselves to the MAIN
tenance OF an effective trade union.

AMERICA is FIGHTING
FIRST FOR HERSELF
And Only SecOndariIy For Human
ity and Democracy And Against
AutOcracy.
(From the Philadelphia Record. J

(from the Philadelphia Record
In the Civil War the purpose for
which we were fighting was the preser-
vation of the Union. But it was appar-
ent to the far-seeing from the first that
the result of the war would be the
emancipation of the slaves AS the war
went on, the opponents of Mr.. Lincoln
made every effort to persuade people
that the war was being conducted to
free the slaves, and many men, who
were loyal to the Union but were not
abolitionists, lost interest in the war.
The draft riots in New York were due
not so much to Discrimination to serve
in the army as to the wrath of the Irish,
who were made to believe that they
were to be compelled to fight for the
negroes.
The present-day Copperheads are pur-
suing a similar course. We are fighting
for our rights on the high seas, which
Germany has persistently attacked. We
are fighting Germany in Europe to avert
the necessity of fighting Germany as
the only means of preserving the Mon
roe Doctrine, which is our primary line
of defense against European autocracy.
Decidedly, we are fighting in Our own
quarrel, and we are defending our own
rights on land and sea.
But the result of breaking the mill
tary power of Germany will be the over
throw of autocracy and the establish
ment of a government of the people, for
the people and by the people. We are
interested in bringing about that desr-
able result. 1t appeals strongly to our
love of political liberty. But the over
throw of autocracy is only by-pro-
duct of OUR contest to maintain Ameri-
can rights. If we had submitted to the
German submarine campaign we should
have been obliged hereafter to accept
the embargo of all our ports whenever
two other nations fell to fighting.
