WAR AND SOCIAL PROBLEMS.
Moro Efficiency and Loyalty Urged by
National Conference Members.

Moro Efficiency and Loyalty Urged by
National Conference Members.
The great war and it's social prob
lens overshadowed every other topic
on the Pittsburgh program OF the Ma
tional Conference of Social Work. To
1890 men and women who had come
together from many states to exchange
ideas and receive fresh inspiration for
their social service work there was
brought home the thought of the ne
cessity of doing their present work
more skillfully, more economically and
more wisely.
To cripple, through lack Of men and
money, the social work which has been
painstakingly developed through long
years of struggle, thinking people re-
alize is truly shortsighted:
The committee on resolutions, Hast
ings II. Hart, Thomas B. Mayman and
Robert w. Kelso, departing from the
usual policy Of the conference, made
the following recommendations, which
were heartily adopted:
1.-THE National Conference of Social
Work places on record, in behalf Of
the great majority Of it's 1890 mem
bers, their intense loyalty and their
purpose to support the president and
the government of the United States
in the prosecution Of this war in the
interest of liberty and democracy.
"The obligation to make every neces'
sary sacrifice rests with double weight
upon the organizations for social vel.
fare. We therefore commend the pa.
triotism Of those social organizations
which are lending their most efficient
workers for the national service in the
government departments, the national
Red Cross, the movement for con-
serving health and morals in the army
and navy by wholesome recreation and
by eliminating temptations to intern
perance and vice.
"On the other hand, we would EN-.
phasize the insistence Of the president
o. the United States as to the neces-
sity for conserving those agencies
which operate to maintain public NOR.
ais, public health and the producing
forces of the community. We there
fore urge the Importance Of maintain
ing the full force and efficiency Of the
agencies for social work and Of Sc
curing for all of them adequate sup.
port in view Of the new and pressing
demands created by the war, especial
~ those agencies which make for the
preservation and improvement Of pub
lie health and family life, the protec-
ton Of motherhood and the preserva-
ton of children from the destructive
and demoralIzing influences Of war.
I'VE urge the maintenance through
out the war Of all our standards for
the protection Of industrial employees,
especially women and children. The
lending of social workers for the ma
honal service should not include so
large a number as to cripple the ef-
fectiveness Of these vital agencies,
which are among the most essential
bulwarks for the national defense"

 man as the most reprehensible in the
 history of any civilized nation, defied

 This declaration was embodied in the record of the Senate.
 The Manifesto.
 The text of the manifesto follows: "The majority of the United States senatOrs favored the passage of the Senate bill authorizing the president of the United States to arm American merchant vessels, a similar bill hav- ing already passed the house by a vote of 4O9 to l9. Under the rules of the Senate allowing unlimited debate, it appears to be impossible to obtain a vote previous to noon March 4, 1917, whenu this session of Congress ex-

PRESIDENT TAKES
 OATH OF OFFICE
Complies With Letter of COnsti- tuition, in Spite of Precedents Chief Justice White Admin iSterS Oath.

Washington, March 4.-President Wilson took the oath of office for his second terms at noon today in his room at the capitol and will be form ally inaugurated tomorrow with pub 1 lie ceremonies.
 Before a desk piled with executive business laid before him in the closing hours of Congress and surrounded by members of his official family, the president reaffirmed with uplifted hand and grave features his promise to uphold the constitution in whatever crisis may confront the nation in the momentous four years before it.
 After he had repeated solemnly the oath first taken by Washington cen tury and quarter ago, he kissed the Bible at the passage reading:
 "The Lord is our refuge; very present help in time of trouble"
 Congratulations Offered
 Chief Justice White administered the oath and was the first to extend his congratulations The chief justice looked fervently into the presidents face for a moment and said brokenly:
 "Mr. President, I am very, very happy"
 Members of the basinet then crowd ed up with expressions of regard. MT. Wilson received them with a smile and then turned back to ihs desk.
 Tomorrow the president will take the oath again on the inaugural stand before the capitol. He might have omitted today's ceremony under pre- cedents established by other presi- dents, but he decided to comply liter ally with the constitutional stipulation that he take office at noon the fourth of March.
 Vice President Marshall did not take the oath today.
 Repeat Oath Today.
 The president will be sworn in for his second term tomorrow at the spe- cial session of the new Senate, with the usual vice presidential inaugura- ton ceremony.
 Tonight the capitol, filled with the was on tiptoe in anticipa- ion of tomorrow's demonstration. A Although the inaugural was planned under the presidents direction to be | as simple as the circumstances would permit, it will not be difficult in gen. eral character from the usual cere mony.
 As customary, the president after ,e has taken the oath, and delivered | his inaugural address on an open air ,tand before the capitol, will ride back .o the White House at the head of parade. Then he will review the narehers from stand before the White House grounds.
 One feature, however, will reflect directly the gravity of the interna- tional situation. Down Pennsylvania avenue the parade will pass between ines of national guardsmen, forming , malitary barrier on both sides of the inc of march. Not since Lincoln's

ADVANTAGOUSLY FELT

London, June 26.-The total ma
tional expenditure for the nine weeks
from October to December last
was on a daily average of &6,615, 900
says a statement, in detail, prepared
by Andrew Bonar-Law, the Chancel-
Tor of the EXchequer, for the House
of Commons.
For the FIVE weeks from April to
May 8, 1917, the statement shows
the daily average of expenditure was
&7,971,0O0 while for the five weeks
from May to June it was e7,532,-
900.
For the ten weeks from April l to
June the expenditure shows TO have
averaged &7,752,O00,
For the respective periods set
forth the actual war expenditure
daily, the Chancellor states, was e5,-
7l4,OOO, G7,457,000, a5,9S9,000
a6,723,OOO.
The increase in expenditure for
army service, says the statement, is
in part attributable to payments and
advances which are ultimately recov-
cradle. The expenditure for NUM-
tions was affected by temporary
causes, such as more rapid delivery
made on the termination of certain
orders, but Notwithstanding this, the
Chancellor fears there will be some
excess. under the heads of army and

their Flickersville plant. The ca

If they would put sticker on every

Because of the high wages received
by American workmen, and the high

costs three times as much to make
a'-slate here as it does in Germany,
but the German slate will be sold IN
this country. in peace times, at just
enough under our lowest possible
