 Here lies the importance of what has happened. It is that alone have authority deliberate peace terms with the subjects of begeren But the govern men will be hampered by the failure of the great working class organizations to sympahiz with what the is doing Henderson is out of the cabinet His withdrawal may force parliament into dissolution.
 If Mr. Henderson continues to receive the support of labor organizations it will be difficult for the government resist the pressure for election But if Lloyd George the labor organizations to his view he has done be- fore, in difficult circumstances the crisis will be wealth cred
 One of the significant features of the the growing influence of working leaders and working mics
 In times past the attitude of the working class toward would be slight negligible Today the influence of the of oers is vast indeed vast that they have direct presentation in the governments of most of the nations.

 Undignified.

American Training Camp in France, Aug. 14-Not until the recent arrival in camp of certain American newspa- pers did the soldiers of the American expeditionary forces become aware quarters to fix on them the name of sammy
 That name never is heard on this side. Within the last few days the correspondent of the Associated Press has been approached by great num- bers of the. officers and men asking that something be sent home telling the people there how the standard bearers of the American army really resent what they regard as an inapt, undignified and irritating name.
 It can also be said that the resent ment does not rest alone with the officers and men of the army, but that it extends to all Americans resident in Paris and in other parts of France, many having written in to say that they regard Sammy most unsuitable for men who have cone to France seriously and earnestly to fight for the liberties of the peoples of the world.
 .'Please hit the Sammy. propaganda as hard as you can,' said an officer of distinguished rank to the correspon- dent today. .'The men and officers would be proud to have an appropriate nickname, but there is not one among, us who thinks Sammy is in any way suitable, and it certainly is not de- sired"

| Up on the summit of the Rocky mountains, where the Union Pacific railroad crosses the backbone of the continent, workmen are now prepar- ing to move a huge pyramid of gran lite, erected thirty-seven years ago to the memory of Oakes Ames and Oliver Ames, the. constructors of President Lincoln's great steel high way to the Pacific. The monunent is sixty feet square at the base and sixty feet high.
 Through a change in the line, built for the purpose of eliminating unnec- essary mileage and for cutting down the grade, the Anles monument was left standing alone nearly five miles from the new tracks
 The Ames monument shown in the Ecut, with a picture of Oakes Ames, is unique among monuments.
 It stands on one of the most lofty eminences ever chosen for such a purpose and commenorates the name of the men whose constructive genius carried the first railway over the Rocky Mountains, feat which at the time held the admiration of the world. f
