CALL BRITISH TARS "LIMEYs"
American BIueJackets In European
Waters Have Nickname for
Everything They See.

London.-American bluejackets on
duty in European waters have nick
name Of their own for England's sail
ors and soldiers. They call them
"limeys;" the individual being known
as a ''lime." The American sailor men
apply the designation to all English
fighters just rs the British refer to
their soldiers as "TOmmies."
The sailor from the United States
has his nickname for nearly every
thing he sees. Bluejackets who had
served in the near and far East first
started calling British sailors and SOL
diers lime juicers," because of their
fondness for fruit juice and charged
water.
Now the designation has been short
ened down and everything British is
'limey." British soldiers and sailors
clubs are known as "limey clubs" and
British-brewed lager beer is commonly
spoken Of as ''limey beer"

TIME Labor day procession was
coming down the street. The
first man in 1t was six feet
four inches tall, with bear
skin hat on his head that raised him
to seven feet. He was the drum ma
jor of the band and was twirling his
big silver-headed staff and throwing
it into the air with fine jugglery. Be
hind him came the band. Then came
the different unions marching in line,
every man looking happy on this clear
September day that he could lay aside
his hammer or his trOwel or whatso-
ever tool best represented his trade
and step out to the inspiring strains
of martial music. H.,

Every factor of human betterment is
doing its part directly or indirectly,
in this war upon poverty.
Social Surplus a Necessity.
The success of this battle with pow

of a social surplus, the basis of all So

we must produce. goods or services
much in excess of our immediate needs
Of subsistence. And we are doing that
today upon scale never before known

there is enough and more than enough

and the unemployable Of various anti

GUIDES FOR IT'S SOLDIERS
Great Britain Carefully Provides for
the Men Home on Leave
From the Front.

London.-Soldiers on leave from the
front in the early days Of the war had
the greatest difficulty in finding their
way about London and across 1t to
main line centers leading to their pro-
vincial homes, but this has all been
altered, and what was once chaos at
Victoria station now works like any
part of the military machine.
This has been made possible by the
help of the volunteers of the National
Guard and by members of the Wom-
ans Reserve Ambulance company, who
take charge of the men on arrival,
change their French money into Eng
lish, grant them loans and personally
conduct them to the various stations
they may require to travel from. The
same thing Is done when leave is up.
The soldier, used to discipline, likes
being handed on from one to another
rather than being left in strange
place to his own devices.

SCULPTOR TO DO HIS BIT
Will Turn Talents From Modelling In
Clay to Remakina Faces Of the
Wounded.

Cleveland, O.-Max Kalish, Cleve-
land sculptor, is going to do his bit
and it's strange bit, too. Kalish Is
turning his talents from creating faces
in clay to remnking those Of human
beings. Kalish Is one Of a small army
of American sculptors who are going
to the battle front to help battle
SCARED veterans. They propose to re-
make the mangled features Of the sol
diers injured in battle.
They call these fellows plastic
sculptors. They replace the missing
parts of the face with copper or
papier mache and then graft skin over
1t. Little is known of the science in
America and the sculptors are going
to France shortly to learn the fine
points of the art.

passed. Then came the carpenters
union, the plumbers union and the ma
sons union.
"Oh, Danny" cried Mrs. O'Toole,
"there's your father"
Now, Danny. O'Toole had known
ever since he was old enough to know
anything that his father had left him
and his mother in Ireland, when
Danny was a baby, to come to Amer
lea. He was to send money home and
when he got enough together to send
for his wife and boy he would do so.
For awhile letters had come from him.
then they had ceased. His wife had
come to America to look for him.
"Which?" cried Danny.
"The man on the far side, him with
the red head. Call him."
Danny, knowing only one way to at
tract his parents attention, shouted
"Redhead!" with all the power Of his
little lungs. The man heard him and,
turning his head, saw kid on a lamp
post waving his hat at him. Then.
lowering his eyes, he saw his wife
looking in his direction. Leaving the
ranks, he came across the street, ell
bowed his way through the crowd to
his wife, and she fell into his arms.
Meanwhile, Danny, seeing that he
was not getting his share on this fam
lily reunion, dropped down on his ia
ther with one leg on each shoulder.
His father pulled him down into his
arms.
"The child?" asked O'Toole.
"Yes. It's Danny"
Danny got hug that made him cry
out, and, drawing off as far as he
could, he punched his hugger with his
little fist.
"Don't you hurt me that way ag'in !"
he said, fiercely.
"Oh, Danny" said Mrs. O'Toole,
laughing through her tears, "your IA
TIERS so glad to see you" ;,
That ended the O'Toole family's in
terest in the Labor day procession.
O'Toole went with his wife and boy
to their rooms, where he explained
his long silence. He had been sud-
denly taken Ill and attacked with loss
of memory. It had partially returned
to him and he had written his wife,
but she had already left Ireland for
America.
That was number of years ago.
Since then Danny O'Toole has grown
to be stalwart young fellow, has
learned his trade and can swing a
sledgehammer with any man. And
when Labor day professions march
down the street between admiring
crowds Danny is sure to be among
them. And he takes a great interest
In the day because it fs the anniver-
sary Of his first meeting with his IA
then In America and of bis family re-
union.

TO AID FAMILIES OF. U. S. FIGHTERS

that there is not the faintest shadow
Of charity In its usual meaning, at
tached to this work we are undertak-
ing. If there is want among the fami-
lies of our soldiers and sailors, it is
not because they have been idle or
wasteful, or improvident, or that they
have been in anywise to blame. Rather
it is because they have done the finest
and the noblest thing possible, and
have given to their country those to
whom they have looked for support
and protection.
1--WE go to them, not as doing them
charity. but as expressing our gatitude
to them for what they have done-as
duty we owe to those whom they
have given to fight our battles. Look
ing at it in this light, we can see how
little we can afford to permit any one
of these to suffer because of the noble
thing they have DONE"
Task Big One.
The officers of the Red Cross have
shown large grasp Of the situation.
They realize the task that will be
theirs. This is shown in part of Mr..
Lies Pittsburgh talk, in which he said
that very soon there will be 100000
National Guardsmen in the field, and
that "by January next it is altogether
possible that there will be under arms
about 2,5OO,OO men in all branches of
the service.
"We must prepare for a large task,
to be executed through the civilian re-
lief committee of the various Red
Cross chapters. These committees
should have carefully chosen members.
some, at least, Of whom have expert
ence in social work."
1t is not merely as a feeding and
clothing agency that the Red Cross
proposes to act toward these depend
ents, as Mr.. Lies points out, but as
sort of next friend" in all troubles
such as wages, insurance, difficulties
with landlords, illness, accident and
the moral welfare of children.
"We would show ourselves unfit to
enjoy the blessings of democracy" says
Mr.. Lies, 'if, while sending our SOL
,diers to the front to fight the enemy,
we permitted their families at home to
fight want, disease, and moral dangers
alone. It would look like willful pun
ishment for. the sacrifices made by
them.
"Only by getting close to them
through friendly visitation, sympa-
thetic inquiry, neighborliness and intel
ligent Interpretation of home condi-
tions, can untoward factors be discov-
cred. The Red Cross Is in the field to
do just this kind of service In addition
to supplementary relief work, and it
wants to do it as thoroughly as pos
sible."
1t is in this spirit, then, that the Red
Cross Is approaching the task of pro-
tecting the dependents left behind by
the fighting men. Backed by the Amer
lean people, there is no room for doubt
as to how it will perform this task.

Red Cross Undertakes to Care
for the Dependents Of Sol
'N diers and Sailors.
kEPARE FOR A LARGE TASK
4Not Work Of Charity, but Most sa-
cred Duty to See That They Lack
for No Comfort" Says
Director Lies.
BY CHARLES LEE eRYsoN.

Chfcago-Many an American sol
dier and sailor will fight with infinitely
stronger spirit In this war for the
knowledge that the American Red
Cross is standing firm between those
he leaves at home, and the grim spec
ter of want For the announcement has
y gone forth from Washington that the
families of fighting men are to be un-
der the protection of the great hu-
manitarian arm of the government.
The whole world knows of the work
the Red Cross has done in caring for
the sick and wounded in war, relieving
the distress of the victims of fire ana
dood earthquake, famine and tornado
In civil disaster, and organizing base
hospitals for the army and navy. But
few realize that while all this was be-
Ing done, preparation was under way
to look after the loved ones whom the
lighting men will leave at home.
When the United States troops were
at the Mexican border the Red Cross
found it necessary to make provision
for the families Of many Guardsmen
who had left dependents at home. Ih1s
made plain what must be done In case
an army of a million men should De
called abroad, and with characteristic
Red Cross forehandedness plan was
at once formulated. So far as possible,
the war department will choose men
who have no dependents; but In spite
Of everything many married man.
many q son whose mother depends on
him, and many others to whom rela-
tives look for support, will go to the
front. It is these who are left behind
that will be watched over by the Red
Cross. .......-.'...
Department Of Family Relief.
To safeguard those who may need
our care the Red Gross has estab-
lished, under the director general Of
civilian relief, a new department called
that of family relief. 1t has called to
the head of this department Eugene L.
Lies, for many years general superin-
tendent of the United Charities of CHI
cago, q man of wide, experience and
I ripe judgment.
Mr. Lies was one Of those who at
tended a conference of national and
division officers of the Red Gross,
called at Chicago by John ]. O'Connor,
- director of the central division, and at
this conference Mr.. Lies outlined his
policy. Later, at the National Confer
ence of Charities at Pittsburgh. Mr..
Lies enlarged upon this subject. He
made it very plain that it is labor Of
love, and in no sense Of charity, that
the Red Cross has undertaken.

Civilization has kept pace with in
creased economic production. start
ing from a rude social order wherein
bare and uncertain existence was the
most that man could wrest from ma
ture, society has attained an fncred-
ible economic productivity by the de-
velopment of intellectual force and
manual dexterity, by the more efficient
arrangement of Its own powers, and
most of all by the discovery and utili-
zation of natural energies. The diff
fusion of comforts, the possibilities Of
luxuries, the rise of arts and letters,
the spread of culture-in a word, the
development of civilization is the con-
sequence of increased economic pro-
duction." And furthermore, we can
place no limit to the future rate of in
crease in production clearly assign
able.
The history Of the United States
illustrates the working of this prin-
ciple which has ousted the gloomy.
pessimistic prophecy Of Malthus. From
1850 to 1900 the population increased
226 per cent, while the production Of
the eight great cereals increased 400
per cent. And what is true of our agri-
cultural products is also true even to
a greater extent of iron and steel, tex
tiles and other manufactures. Our per
capita wealth in 1850 was $3O7. 1t is
now supposed to be about $1,SOO OK
$1,000.
Workers. Condition Bettered.
Together with this great increase in
national production and wealth, with
the creation of great unprecedented
social surplus, has gone a wonderful
betterment in the condition of the
working classes. Wages have risen.
expenditures have increased for nom
physical satisfaction; the deposits in
savings banks have augmented; the
per capita consumption of wheat,
sugar and meat have grown; the death
rate has declined, and, taken alto
gether, there has II steady and
unprecedented improvement in the
condition of the workers.
But the creation of this huge social
surplus has not removed the challenge
of want; 1t has not destroyed the
menace of poverty. 1t has only made
a solution of bitter problem posi-
BILE. While there Is no doubt that the
intensity of poverty is less today than
in the past, even In this country, yet
the challenge of poverty and its con-
sequent misery still stands wolfiike at
our threshold. In the words of Profes-
sor Hollander: "The root of the
problem lies deeper. Poverty, like GER
tain of its primary causes, Is u phase
of modern industry. The very forces
which increase the national product
and enlarge the social surplus, If left
to themselves, breed conditions of
want. Far from diminishing
with increased wealth production, the
misery resulting from such causes is,
in the face of social inaction, likely to
augment and intensity. Society may
grow richer, civilization may advance,
and yet poverty continue to gnaw can
cer-like at its vitals."
Our enormous national wealth with
Its unprecedented social surplus, our
vast natural resources which we are
conserving in time, our national ideals
and aspirations for social. political and
Industrial justice, are the factors
which, sooner or later. may give us the
unique distinction of being the worlds
first nation to abolish poverty.

Joseph Getzelowitz. dumb from
birth, suddenly recovered his power
of speech in Bellevue hospital, New
York, while recovering from fall.
Several boys had been tormenting
Getzelowitz in Henry street. near the
home of his sister, where he lived. In
chasing the boys. he stumbled and
fell. A policeman picked him up and
had him sent to Bellevue. There the
physicians examined the young Rus
sian and found that his vocal chords
had all the appearances of being nor
NAL and in their opinion simply lacked
the will to talk. While reading
prayer book he suddenly began speak
ing Yiddish with ease and perfect pro-
nunciation.
He now speaks few words of Eng
lish.
