IRWIN SUGGESTS PLAN.


Will Irwin, the writer, believes the
sands of Americans now In the vari-
Gus European armies, serving as sol
diers, when the war Is ended, bring
them home, and have them teach this
country some OF the things which the
great conflict has impressed upon
their minds.
There are more than 10000 Ameri-
cans engaged In the European war,
Irwin told the members of the Ma
tional Press Club yesterday. These,
he said, are doing more toward pre-
paredneSs for the United States In
here, is doing toward that end.
Valuable to United States
Americans engaged in the war" he
continued, "are learning things every
day that will be valuable to the
United States"
He pleaded for the Inauguration of
some method whereby these 10000
soldiers can be used in upbuildinE our
own forces at the conclusion OF the
war. ~
THE ItalIan-Austrian front is the
most picturesque in Europe" Irwin
declared. He told of his travels in
the Alps, and described house IN
which he placed his hand against the
stone partition one foot thick that
divided the Austrian and italian
armies.
This front, he said, is the only one
upon which a visitor sees anything
very thrilling in his travels. More
than 100000 Italians from the United
States are fighting there.
Peril In U-BOnt Campaign.
If Germany's coming U-boat cam
paign is successful, he said it will be
next to impossible to keep this coun-
try out of the war.
Mr.. Irwin said the British will come
more into prominence from this time
on in the fighting, because England
has had to recruit, drill, and season
her armies, so that they are now in
shape for their work.
An audience of 800 members of the
club heard the address, and later fired
at the speaker many queries as to
various phases of the situation.

This Is Proof Of La
boris Wisdom.

Washington, Aug "a The
strength Of the organized labor
movement and the wisdom Of its
course has had no better proof than
the agreement just entered into be-
tween the Government and the
Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners, by which all work on army
cantonments is to be done by union
labor.
Under the terms Of the agreement
not only the carpenters must be or
ganiz9d workers, but all other la
Dor on these big jobs must be or
ganized
This is one of the most sweeping
labor agreements ever entered into
and one of the most important
1t marks o4t the policy of the Gov
ernment and the policy Of labor un
mistakably and to the credit Of the
nation aud the labor movement.

One of the Oldest and least known

years, for the bureau Of fisheries is
urging more general use or porpoise

Heretofore the most valuable prod

gallon 1t is universally used for lu-

is also valuable. Attempts to manu-

The porpoises are taken at Hatteras

it is probably the only place in Amer
