WORKERS HAVE MORE At
STAKE THAN ANY OTHERS

A strong appeal TO the workingmen
Of this country to participate In the
second Liberty Loan TO the fullest ex.
tent has been made by William B.
Wilson, secretary of Labor.
Secretary Wilson points out that
the workers have more at stake in
this great conflict. than any others.
because II is only in democracy that
the common people can come into their
own"
The great European war in which
we are now involved came to the peo-
pie of the Western Hemisphere as
terrible shock, and to no portion of
the people did il come as a greater
shock than to the wage-earners Of the
United States They believed In and
wanted international peace. but they
wanted II on basis of international
Justice which would insure the right
of our people to govern themselves.
When the Imperial German Govern
ment undertook to destroy the lives
OF our people and to impose a rule OF
conduct upon us without our consent
In places under the Jurisdiction of the
United States government, there was
no course left but to resist" Secre
tary. Wilson said.
"The workers have more at stake
In this conflict than any others, be-
cause It is only in democracy that
the common people can come into their |
own. The great privilege is not given |
to all OF us TO serve our country on |
the battlefield or in the trenches, but
there are other ways In which We can |
serve and assist those who are privi- |
legged to carry our flag on the battle |
fields Of Europe. The impulse of sac
rifice for the common good is sending |
the youth of our country into the |
trenches In defense of Liberty, hui
mainly and democracy.
ITO those OF US who must Of neces-
sity remain at home to till the soil. |
harvest the crops, man the factories,
mines and mills, the way is open for
additional service. We too must make
sacrifices. The men who go forth to
do battle In the field must be equipped |
and sustained. Funds must be forth
coming to furnish the food, the fire.
arms and other supplies for the fight
Ing forces of the nation. Finances
for that purpose must be secured i'm
from t he sale of bonds.
The workers can help by contributing
their mite.
Combined Efforts viii Win.
Il am reminded of the fable of a
great drought when the crops were
Wasting for the want of water, and
one little raindrop said to another in
he clouds, 4 would like TO go down to
he relief OF the farmer and his per-
.shing crops, but am so little 1t would
be useless And another little rain
lrop replied, 1t would be useless for
you to go down alone, but let us all
go down and our combined effort will
bring the needed relief Teh advice
was accepted and beautiful shower
poured down on the land and the |
crops were saved for the harvest
"And so II is with the workers. The
funds each has available Is but drop.
but all Of the drops together. can make
1 shower OF funds that will furnish the
needed supplies. bring Joy to the
hearts Of the boys at the front and
to our enemies" Secre-
airy Wilson declared.

Dollar Worth Only
Forty-Pive Cents,
Says Kruttschnitt

Washington, March z6,-Railway
earnings have not increased with the
average rise in commodity prices dur
ing twenty years, and railroad credit
is not good because they cannot sell
bonds with interest rates as low as
states and municipalities, Julius
Kruttschnitt, chairman OF the South
ern Pacific company board, today told
the Newlands investigating committee.
Owing to the rise in commodity
prices" Mr.. Kruttschnitt said, "the
purchasing power OF the dollar has
fallen S. per cent and the railroads
are in the position OF being compelled
by law to accept payment for their
service to the public in debased cur
rency worth As cents on the dollar.
"If the railroad rates had increased
in proportion to commodity prices in
1915, the additional cost to the public
would have been Sl,654,00 ,000."

How Monk Rasputin Played Upon
.Superstitious Fears of the Empress

Petrograd, Sunday, March 25.-(Via
London, March 26)-The supersti-
tious belief that the health and even
the life Of Grand Duke Alexis, the
young heir apparent, depended on the
presence Of Gregory Rasputin, the
mystic monk--a notion which is gen.
orally known to have accounted for
Rasputin's tremendous influence over
the imperial family-is explained in
the following manner by the Russky
Slovo.
"Rasputin," according to the news
paper, STATED in condolences to
friends at convivial moments that he
was able to fortify this superstition
with the help of Madame Virubova.
lady in waiting to the empress, and
NJ. Badmacf, court physician, until

that the life of her son depended on

the monk. Whenever Rasputin was
absent Madame Virubova obtained
poisonous powders from the physi-
clan and placed them in food brought
to Alexis. The result was that dur
ing Rasputin's absence the delicate
health of the young heir apparent
grew steadily worse until Rasputn
was summoned back to the court,
when the powders were stopped and
Alexis became better.
"Rasputin always announced that
forty days after his death Alexis
would fall i'll. This prophecy came
true, being caused" the newspaper
declares, "by Madame Virubova ad,

TO RECRUIT MARINE
CORPS TO 17,400
Secretary Baker Says No Fur

DANIELS ISSUES APPEAL

Washington March 26.-War prep

cluded calling into the federal serv-
ice score OF additional guard regi-
ments for police service in the west
ern and middle western states, and an
order for the immediate recruiting Of
the earine corps to full war strength
Of l7,400 men. ..t5 D.. ...
With both the navy and the marine
corps ordered up to full strength the
only step remaining to increase the
navy personnel without action by
congress is the calling out of the
naval militia. 1t has been understood
that the militia will be needed to fill
out crews for the many vessels to be
added, but no announcement has been
made.
No Further Call on Guard.
Secretary Baker said today no fur
ther call upon the National Guard
was in prospect. More than thirty
two regiments have been summoned
to federal duty to guard industries or
other property which might be threat
ened by internal disorder growing out
OF the German situation.
The address to be delivered to con-
gress next week by the president
probably will be discussed at the
cabinet meeting tomorrow. The sug-
gestion that large sum, money or
credits, be furnished one or all of the
entente allies is one of the important
problems to be taken up.
