Our first visit was to the Hospice of

Our next visit was To the re.eduoo

are taught here, such as brush.making

Things which are more in the way OF

great difficulty arises There are no
FUNDS available for their re-establish-
ment, no funds to buy them tools, or
machines or raw materials without
which their learning is of no avail.
Consequently they find themselves left
dependent upon their families, barring
the small pension they receive.
The association has already come
to the assistance of many Of these re-
educated men, has secured small cot
tage for many of them, supplied them
with furniture and with tools and raw
materials, so that they cheerfully begin
under the happiest possible auspices
The surrounding conditions of every
man are looked into. and our commit

We have so far received only the most
highly satisfactory reports Of this
branch of the funds work, and a great

tied near their relatives and friends,
proudly earning their own livelihood
by their own eXertions.
"A short time afterward we went TO
Chartres to visit the institute there.
Word had been sent that we were com.

of greeting, and then, under the guid.
ance Of DR.. Cosse, we went through the
workshops, chatting with the men, VINO
were highly pleased to show us their
work and tell us their histories.
"These men are trained in the usual
trades, supplemented by course in
vegetable gardening, which they great

the seeds, tend vegetables, and thus
prepare themselves to cultivate their
own gardens when they return to their
homes. This supplying Of their own
vegetables is very sensible economy
for them, besides affording them exer.

young men in this institution who were
Of special interest to us, as they were
about to return to the homes provided
for them by the fund. These young
men are re-educated in three different
trades, and there Is no doubt Of their
becoming self-supporting. We have

MO man can lift himself over fence by his
: = own boot straps. Nevertheless that is what
q good share OF the American people are trying
to do We all want higher wages and lower
cost of living, not realizing that if all workers
receive higher wages the cost of production of all
commodities is going to be increased thereby, un-
less the average at the same time does more
work and turns out more produce. Unfortunately
the aforesaid average man" is not built that way
During the last twenty years a very large class
Of workers have succeeded in getting their wages
and incomes raised without reference to the means
employed and certainly without reference to the
amount, or quality, of service rendered as quid
pro quo Manufacturers who are compelled to pay
higher wages must get their money back by rails
ing the prices charged for their goods but to keep
the chain in motion and continue in business in
they must also seek some unfair advantage
This mad race for special privilege" on the part
of laborer, producer, employer and consumer is
one of the things that has set the whole world
out OF joint for that is exactly what has been going
on all over the world. Permanent industrial peace
can only come at home and as between foreign
nations when all realize the utter futility OF OBJ
tanning footing which will give one class, one
race, permanent industrial advantage all
other people, If workers throughout the world
would unite with another instead OF fighting
each other, there would result democracy incap-
able Of being overturned by all the combined mill

Organized labor, organized capital and organized
government all working together for their mutual
welfare can accomplish wonders in the way OF es-
Publishing permanent worlds peace.

Federal authorities announced yes
terday that Karl Koessler, German
arrested at the Occidental Hotel, will
be informed at the Kipahulu Sugar
Company's plantation on Maui, to-
gether with five other alien enemies.
The latter are seamen from German
vessels and from American ships. They
will be held on the plantation until the
end of the war.
"We found that men were badly
needed at Kipahulu plantation" said
Marshal Smiddy yesterday, "and as
the law provides that prisoners of war
and informed civilians of an alien en-
envy may be put 70 work under certain
conditions, we have decided to send
these men to Maui, They will be kept
busy at work for which they are fitted.
If they can do nothing but WELD a hoe
then they will swing a hoe until the
war is over. They will, of course, be
paid for their work. ''.'

THE ADVERTISERS SEM.wEEKLY
Trading With the Enemy

INNE Of the very important war measures to
~ be taken up soon in the senate is the Trading
With the Enemy Bill modelled closely ON the line.
OF the British Act Of the same name. Ii, has been
passed in the house and Is in the senate with the
backing OF the administration Its prime object is
to prohibit all commercial interS curse with Ger
many, directly or indirectly, during the period OF
the war.
The bill makes it unlawful for any person. ex-
Icept with the license Of the secretary Of commerce
to trade or attempt to trade with an enemy or for
or account of or on behalf Of or for the benefit
of enemy, either directly or Indirectly. with
knowledge or reasonable cause to believe that the
person with or for or on account OF or on behalf
of or for the benefit Of whom such trade is con-
Quoted is enemy g -
The same restrictions apply to trading with ian
ally of an enemy
1t is also made unlawful ito transport or at
tempt to transport" an enemy or the ally of an
enemy,
The President is given authority to liberaIze the
Interpretation Of the law by suspehdng the provi-
sions of the act SO far as they apply to the ally Of
an enemy. The bill provides
The secretary of commerce, under direction of the
President may grant licenses under this act special
or general, to any person class of persons If he
patble with the safety of the United States and with
the successful prosecutions of the war
The bill provides for the appointment by the sec
rotary of commerce of an "alien-property custo-
dian" who is empowered to receive all money and
property in the United States belonging to or due
an enemy and to hold, administer and account for
the same under the direction Of the secretary
All persons holding or controlling money or pro-
perry belonging TO an enemy are required to make
full report to the property custodian within thr-
ty days after the passage Of the act and if the sec
rotary shall direct the property Shall be turned
over to the alien-property custodian to be held I'M
til the end of the war. u
THE preservation of enemy property by govern
mental agencies is for the best interest of the in
terested subject himself" said Representative
Montague, during the recent debate in the house
"The fortune of trade in time of war renders pre-
carous the solvency of debtors OF holders OF pro-
perty, and the assumption Of the debt or custody
OF the property by the government gives the ene-
my, or ally Of the enemy the best possible protec
ton" E.G 90 .a.a ID al
The bill contains provision for the ptilizat9n oil
enemy patents under license Of the federal trade
commission. II was pointed out in the debate that
1t IS especially necessary to utilize salvarsan al
German medicine. Representative La Guardia led |
an unsuccessful fight against the patent section.
He asserted that Germany would retaliate by the |
abrogation of American patents and the patent
rights of Americans in Germany far exceeded Ger
man patent rights in the United States. The sal |
varsan matter, he said, "but drop in the buc-
ket" to the bigger question involved 49,. II

An American Triumph

1.-TWO American investigators working under
L the auspices of the Rockefeller Institute on
the diseases incident to trench warfare have dis
covered the nature Of and remedy for the so-called
gaseous gangrene. This wound Infection long
known in hospitals one OF the most dreaded
sequences Of otherwise successful operations, has
been one of the most serious diseases following
gunshot wounds received in trench fighting
The gas germ was discovered by Professor
Welch of Johns Hopkins University, in 1892 Its
spores are present in most soils which have been
heavily fertilized with stable manure and especially
in soils grazed by sheep Raw wool is almost all
ways contaminated with it, and the bacillus is so
hard to kill that the thorough cleansing pro-
ceSses to which the textile weavers submit wool
when making it into cloth do not completely ster-
ze the germs. 49," 3f =
When bits Of woollen cloth, or filth and dirt
from the sodden trenches are carried into wounds,
the bacilli multiply rapidly and the condition
known as gaseous gangrene arises. This infection
has been extremely difficult to control and thou
sands Of soldiers have fallen victims
announcement has now been made by the Rock
efeller Institute that a result of studies made
OF the bacillus, Dr. {. g.. Bull and Miss Ida Prit1
Chett have discovered an antitoxin which com
pletely immunizes animals against the infection
f. as is anticipated the antitoxin is equally efica
clous in protecting the human body against the
gangrene toxin another great victory will have
been scored in preventive medicine ,Ht. II Il
