AN ORIGINAL METHOD
 OF CONVERTING HONORS
 UPON FRENCH SOLDIERS

PARIS, Oct. 1G.-Of the methods of hOnOring soldiers for distinguished service on the field of battle, the "fourragers'' conferred upon the crack regiments of France is one of the most original. It consists of a colored cord ending in a brass tag, the name being derived from the French word for a tethering rope for horses. Every officer and man in the regiment rewarded for gal lantry in action by the fourragers has the right to wear this cord around the left shoulder. There are two classes of the distinction, one having green and red cord to correspond with the Croix de Guerre and the other being in green and yellow on the lines of the rarer Metallic Militaire.

is we'll established and his energy and
zeal in behalf of his clients is well
known. The Inspector does no doubt
but had Mr.. Jones been fully con-
suited that he would have ably and
properly represented the commission.
He points out that under date of
May "a, 1917, the Bureau of Inspec-
ton of Public Offices states that
directors of public safety and civil
service commissions have not the
authority to employ Especial COUNSEL
in cases of appeal from the commits
sion. Sec. 4308, G. c. places this
duty on the city solicitor.
He finds that the special services
rendered in the case, under discus
sion, were ably and faithfully rendered
and his fee moderate.
Mr.. Heck pays a tribute in closing
to the commission. He says
"We are pleased to report that the
members Of the commissino are all
greatly interested in their work and
are desirous of fully complying with
the law as it pertains to their de-
partment. With the observance of
the recommendations herein in
corporated, we have but the most
favorable criticism to offer as to the
management of the civil service de-
partment of the city"

OUR THANKS AND
SUGGESTIONS

We feel justifable pride in pre-
senting this issue of the Leader to
the public. 1t compares most favor
ably with similar publications in the
state, in character of reading matter
and amount of advertising carried.
We desire to thank our represent
ative business firms for their kind
support, encouraging words and ready
and generous recognition of the value
and Importance of our advertising
columns. We would emphatically
urge upon every union man and wo-
man in the city, and all sympathizers
of organized labor to make a special
effort to paronize those firms who
by placing advertisements with US
have given the best possible evidence
of their friendliness to the cause and
proved their readiness to give their
financial as we'll as moral help and
influence to promote it's welfare.
Read carefully what our merchants
tell you in their announcements, and
if necessary go block or two farther
to patronize one who thus proves his
friendship for all of US, is our friend,
and asks US to give him consideration
when we need anything he can sup
ply. Do not only this, but advise
your friends to do likewise. Don't
fail to read our advertisements, each
issue-they contain Information of
interest to every subscriber.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS FOR OUR
BOYS IN KHAKI

The American Red Cross with its
three million members has just COM
pleted plans for the Christmas Cheer
of every soldier and sailor in the Ma
tional Service. Many of the men who
will be in the cantonments and
trenches this year will be spending
their first Christmas away from
home. None will be forgotten.
Red Cross Chapters nearest the
thirty-two Army Camps and Canton
ments will probably arrange in their
towns, Community Christmas Trees
with carols, pageants and holiday
movies to which the 100000 men in
training will be invited.
Many of the Chapters are already
at work finishing their Christmas al
lotnents of comfort bags. Most of
them are made of khaki and are
furnished with extra pairs of woolen
socks, and housewives with needles,
pins, thread and buttons. Detailed
suggestions Of how to wrap these
Christmas packages for shipping will
be issued by the Red Cross. The
Red Cross will also welcome the CO.
operation of anyone desiring to have
a part in sending Christmas Cheer
to the men in training or at the
front. Some people will want to give
money to buy such articles as bags,
mouth organs, envelopes and paper,
safety raZors, extra soap, spoons and
knives. Some will want to have a
personal part in tying up the pack
ages. Children will be asked to help
with the package making. The gifts
will be bought from contributions
especially given for the Christmas
greeting. The Red Cross War Fund
will not be used for this purpose.
Last year the American Red Cross
sent presents of various kinds to the
men on the Mexican border, and the
marines at Haiti and San Domingo.
The articles were suggested by Gen
eral Pershing on the request Of Red
Cross officials. Commenting on the
Red Cross Christmas gifts to the
soldiers, he said: "These things
bring the soldier to remember that
the people at home are behind him"

THRIFT STAMPS TEACH SAVING

Thrifty and saving communities are
invariably liberal supporters of trade
and commerce. Persons with deposits
in banks prefer paying cash to ask
ing for credit. Extravaganza in the
time buyer usually leads to penury
The average merchant would rather
have the cautious customer who pays
cash. Hoarders are actually enemies
of society. They help no one. 1t
follows, then, that the education of
people to become systematic savers
of their surplus income ami earnings
and depositors in banks is beneficial
Immensely powerful as an educator
is the war savings certificate and
thrift stamp plan just launched by
the United States Government as a
permanent feature of financing the
great conflict. 1t is designed to reach
every Individual in the United States
The well-to-do people do not have to
be taught thrift. 1t is because they
understand it that they are in easy
circumstances. But the system will
touch many millions who have never
known a savings account and do not
understand banking. Interest is a
mystery to them. When urged in
England, from whom it is copied, the
thrift stamp nlan was opposed by the
bankers, merchants and small trades
men, who thought that the appeal
to give up comforts and luXuries
would spell loss for them. They
were genuinely alarmed. After six
teen months trial in that war torn,
sorely taxed and highly assessed
country, it was found that $500,000,-
900 had been deposited in the form
of war certificates.
Marvellous to relate, every postal
bank, the other savings banks, the
building and loan associations and
other cooperative societies almost
without exception showed record in
creases in their deposits. Those
responsible for their management
are now hearty workers for the war
savings movement. Bankers see in
the plan the steady educating of a
mighty new army of future clients
of savings institutions. On the other
hand these vast amounts of money
promptly found their way back into
circulation through the great opera
tions of the war, thus stimulating
business and causing trade to thrive.
Tradesmen generally report larger
cash sales and frmer buying, the
sureness flowing from the ability to
pay based upon a savings account.
There are experts who predict that
the system eventually will transform
the English working people from
spendthrifts into a class of careful
saving folk like the French. The
effect thus far has been magical. Of
the 11O,000,OO0 certificates deposited
in 16 months only 100000 have been
cashed and more than 100000 of these
were presented for redemption in
January and February last for the
purpose of taking up the five per
cent war loan. There are five mil
lion members of the various war
savings societies in England and
Scotland. 1t is no exaggeration to
say that the present United States
System will produce six times that
number. Nor can one approximate
the future of a country in which al
most every citizen is a direct holder
of government securities.

MOTHER AND WAR
By John Bush.

The vital interests of America
hangs largely upon the influence of
our mothers, and most important
work is hers in the economy of the
nation.
We say largely, because we would
not fail to give proper credit to other
great influences. The President,
Congress, the A. F. of l.. and many
other influential bodies and statesmen
are using their best endeavors to
promote the general welfare of our
country, and bring to speedy and
successful termination the struggle
in which we are involved. But ever
back of these forces is the mothers
influence.
1t seems to be nearly a universal
fact that men great in war had
mothers superior in character and in
tellect.'
Napoleon's mother was noted for
her intellect and energy. The mother
of Washington exercised command
ing influence in molding the life and
character of that great man. The
nation still delights to honor the
name of Mary, the mother Of Wash
ington.
Cromwell's mother was a women
of spirit and energy, whose pride
was honesty, and whose passion was
love and care for the safety Of her
son in his dangerous eminence.
The author of these words 1 can
not recall, but their truth cannot be
denied:
"The hand that rocks the cradle is
the hand that rules the world"
There is no velvet so soft as a
mothers lap, no rose so lovely as
her smile, no path so fowery as that
imprinted with her footsteps. So
intense is the power of motherhood
that the remembrance of a mothers
prayer has turned the tide of battle
from defeat to victory.
There is one vision that never fades
from the soul of a soldier or sailor,
and that is the vision of mother and
home. No soldier or sailor in all his
weary wanderings ever goes beyond
the Overshadowing reach of home and
mother.
The queen who sits upon the throne
of home, crowned and sceptered, as
none other can be, is mother. Her
Environment is complete, her reign
unrivaled and the moral issues of
her empire are eternal.
"He is fool, who thinks by force
or skill,
"To turn the current of a loving
mothers will"
The sagacious reader who is ca
pable of reading between these lines
that which is not written but is
nevertheless implied, will be able to
form some conception of my in
spiration.
