1t is true that the One-time honored
''ma'a has gone to voyage. Yet
wait-what takes its place? Sometimes
nothing. Poor modern child
Little Willie, you see, is taught that
''ma'am" is decidedly bad form, don't
you know, a mode of address only to
be used by servants. indeed, and so
his youthship comes out with an
abrupt mo" or a brief 'Yes," TO old
ladies and playmates alike, an ez-
change observes.
The really correct thing for Willie
to be taught is that the name or rela-
tiOnship of the persons addressed must
be given in place of that socially oS-

been taught not to use "sir'O, or 'No,

The mentioning of a persons name

a pleasant little mark of courtesy

LABOR IN HOT DRAFT DEBATE
Canadian Opponent of CONSUMPTION Is
Rebuked at Convention in
Buffalo, NJ. Y.

Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 22-The favor
able report of resolution calling for
the CONSUMPTION of citizens of allied
nations in this country brought on
one of the most heated debates of the
annual convention. of the American
Federation of Labor. 1t reached a
climax when Tom Black, a Canadian
delegate, who characterized conscrip-
ton laws as 'daStardly legislation"
was called upon to retract or leave
the floor Of the convention.
The committees report indorsing
the resolution was adopted by a vote
of pa to 20, amid a storm of cheers
but not until large number of dele
gates and President Gompers had re-
piled to Black. and Delegate Cary
from Toronto, Ont. had declared that
Blacks statement did not represent
the sentiment of Canadian trades
uion men.
The demand for a retraction from
Black was not put in the form of n
motion and the matter was droDned
after the adoption of the committee
report.

near Bullecourt. the other at Havrln-
court park.
The tanks in the afternoon. followed
by infantrymen. were continuing their
journey into enemy territory.
Prisoners admit ruefully that the at
tack was a surprise to them and caught
many of them in their dugouts. The
secrecy with which the British made
their preparations was one of the NEST
striking features of the offensive.
Guns, tanks and troops were moved
into the Cambria sector at night and
carefully hidden during the day.
Lull Precedes Storm.
Up to the actual hour of the British
attack there were moments when great
stiffness reigned over the battle front,
and it seemed impossible that within
a short time the line would re seeth-
ing caldron. At 6 30 O'Clock long line
of tanks, distributed over wide front,
started forward at the same time the
British infantry on either side of the
land monitors made threats at the
German line.
Within few seconds the entire
enemy front for a distance of many
miles was flaming with variegated sig
nails which called frantically for help
from the German gunners in the rear.
Red, green, white and blue lights
shot up in every direction.
German Fire Weak.
The dismay of the Germans was
b4azed across the sky as clearly in this
unforgetable whirlwind of pyrotech-
MICS rs though their higher command
had announced it officially. Their guns
came into action-first one, then half a
dozen, then scOres-but their fire was
weak. They were not prepared for
such an eventuality or they would
have shown it in their artillery ork.
The British big guns soon began to
break the silence on their side, not In
the form of a barrage fire but in coun-
ter-battery work. Meanwhile the tanks
rolled on over what was virtually vir-
gin battle field.
The German trenches and dugouts
were In a state of confusion, which
showed plainly the haste with which
the enemy abandoned this famous
ditch.

What we need is clear-brained and
warm-hearted men who will direct the
labor movement unselfishly. Some OF
those who are outside the trade unions
could help us, but they are so inter
ested in statistics. that they haven't
quite gotten hold Of the big human
side of the question. The beautiful
schemes that look SO well in books and
magazines, and that sound so fine
when they are presented from the lee
ture platform, go all to pieces when
applied to flesh and blood men, be
cause they leave out altogether the
element of human nature.
It's all well enough to tell us what
we ought to do during. time of strike,
and when we are getting ready to
strike. It's a mighty easy proposition
to nicely balance the arguments for
and against. and subject the whole
thing to the test Of N elegant system
of ethics. But this labor business Is
no Sunday school pcnic, neither is it
matter that can he settled right off
the bat. There are too many compli-
cations, too many things that don't
appear on the surface, and that its
hard to put into SO many words, SO
that the outsider Viii understand,
We need some folks who can eN-
plain these matters better than we can
do it ourselves, an3 since it's hard to
do this unless you've been in the game,
we aren't making The progress that
we might. It's one thing to make
study of the workingman's problems
from above. even with sympathy and
sincerity of purpose. A man may
even tramp il, or 20 into the shop or
live in n tenement but he does it
knowing that at any moment he may
leave it if he wants to do so. Any
way, he misses n good deal of the JOY
and happiness of working people, be-
cause of their appreciation of many
things that come to them. and about
which pleasure your student knows
nothing.
Lots of good people get impatient
with us because we don't seem to APP
preciate what they are doing for US
To be perfectly honest. we'd rather do
these things for ourselves, in just the
way that we think best. 1t may not
be the best way. but it's our way. and
there's n good deal in that. Well APP
preciate having them show us how the
things may be done, but we want q
hand in doing them Well work with
these folks and we'll be glad to have
them work with us, but the whole
thing must be on the level. like the
big democracy in which we all believe.
can't help feeling that there are a
good many folks who, if they weren't

HELPING LABOR FIND A WAY OUT

There's so much in the way. Business
dealings are too mixed up.
But there are some people who can
do it, and some of them are bosses,
too. They can get busy creating
sentiment in favor of a squarer deal
all around. If / understand the
Church. that's a good share of its
business. There's nobody that can do
more in getting matters set right than
the churches, if they will only start in
on the Job. There are millions of
church-mcmbers in this country. more
folks than there are Socialists and
trade-unionists, combined. by good
deal, and probably more than there
