The COMING Tower
The Cabinet Maker

We have cabinet maker in our town
Who learned his trade i'm italy and loves
More than the sight of some Chippcndalc
To reproduce piece himself. with here
And there some little change that more rofnos,
Or scroll and pattern of his own design.
You cannot hurry him; he works by hand
And like an artist broods the plan to saw
And scrape with happy haste when all goes well,
To put Job aside for weeks, perhaps
When something else of more appeal turns up
Which is not good for business, of course.
I often work beside him in his shop,
Using his tools and his advice, and while
] make some clumsy chair mirror frame
lie brings a lovely high-boy into life
And vents his furniture that comes
From 'Mccchecgan," turned out upon machines
Or tells me how in Italy. at home,
You want ing. YOU tell the cabinet man,
lie rnaka what YOU want, it is all YOURS;
And in his shop seycnty-fvc maybe,
Maybe a hundred boy all work and learn
Alas! he has but one to learn from him;
The rest arc turning lsthes in 'Meechecgan"-
Unthinking cogs in that machine which is
Our new industrial efficiency.
The other day. besides myself and Joe
The lad. third had come to tinker there,
So four of were busy at work.
The punecnt shayings curlcd up through my plane,
loc's saw was singing in a tght-grained board,
A hammer rang. a chisol bit the wood
And Tony suddenly looked up and laughed
Some busy. cb:' he cried. II like it so
like it when dc shave dey pile up fast;
In nv home. Italy. work like dat,
Scyenty-fyc maybe. all make something

His chscl bit the wood again and he
With smiling face and eyes that far off,
Began to sing, Donna mobac.'

Public school teachers who resent
being compelled" by the Board Of
Education to sign pledges testifying
to their unqualified allegiance to the
government will meet in the Hotel
McAlpin tomorrow afternoon to de-
eide unon measures Of meeting this
attack on our self-respect." This was
announced yesterday By Henry r.
Linville. of the Jamaica High School,
leader of the "anti-pledge" teachers.
Americans of unquestionable 10y
atty and indubitable lineage are
amongst those of New York's teachers
who feel themselves insulted by the
high-handed action Of the board" sa i
Mr.. Linville. 1--WE feel the board IS
going too far. The futility OF the
signed pledge plan Of proving loyalty
il patent to every one, and so is the
aggravating nature of compulsory

N. Y. Newspapers
Appeal Against
Censorship Bill
Call 1t Assault on Very
Foundation of Our Free
Institutions"
Plea Sent to Congress
Publishers Cite Constitution; In
sist Papers Can Be
Trusted
Plea Sent to Congress

The Publishers Association Of New
York City, an organization Of the pub
fishers Of all the newspapers in the
city except "The Herald" adopted
resolutions yesterday asking Congress
TO vote against the adoption OF the
censorship provision OF the pending
espionage bill, on the ground tha' 1t
is IAN assault upon the very founda-
tion of our free institutions freedom
of thought and freedom of speech"
"The proposed legislation" tho
resolutions read, "is drastic and in
definite in its terms. and uncertain in
its import. No one can foresee what
its consequences might be. Through
the newspapers it strikes at the rights
Of the people. In war, of all times,
the press should be free, vigilant,
bold, unfettered and untrammelled.
The first amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States reads:
Congress shall make no law respect
ing an establishment Of religion or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof,
or abridging the freedom OF speech or
of the press. or the right Of the peo-
pie peaceably to assemble and retl-
tion the government for redress OF
grievances
Those who framed this amendment
thoroughly intended. and those who
voted for its adoption understood,
that they were excluding from the
national government all power with
reference TO the abridgment OF the
rights of the press. Serious results
are sure to follow any effort to sus-
pend the constitutional guarantee Of
a free press and of free speech. The
liberty OF the press within existing
laws governing treason Is the ma
tons greatest asset, and never so
much as at time like this, when it
stands as the one great safeguard OF
the people.
There at present exists a volun-
tary censorship suggested by the gov
eminent which newspapers are OBJ
serving in a most patriotic way. Every
self-respecting newspaper expects 10
cooperate with the government i'm re-
framing from the publication Of news
that would give aid to the enemy.
Does any one believe there is in the
United States single newspaper
which would willingly print that
which should be concealed? News
papers that wilfully violate the spirit
of censorship and publish prohibited
information of military value could be
prosecuted under the law of treason.
"The American people are entitled
to a full. free and frank statement
OF all that occurs. whether it be good
or bad. They must have confidence
that they are getting the truth. There
can be no justification for restrc-
ton that abridges the liberties of the
press"

French Minister Appeals for
American Ships and Munitions
French Munitions Chief
Outlines Wars Lessons

Never despise or underrate your
enemy. Overrate him. We have. be-
fore Us a powerful enemy and we
must recognize it.
Victory is not only 20 the brave,
but to the army with the most mod
ern and the most powerful artillery.
Victory is only a question Of heavy
artillery and big shells.
America can bring victory by sup
plying heavy artillery and shells.
What is sufficient for to-day is not
enough for tomorrow.
The more VIC make the more we
need.
Ships. Ships. Ships.
The 100 German ships intcrned in
American ports mean one month OF
submarine warfare.
We're | an American | would start
a shipyard that would build one
standardized ship of'modern tonnage

is TO send steel and other raw material
10 France. We have our factories built
and equipped for turning the raw ma
terial into guns and shells, while Amer
lea would still have to build the fac
tories for making the guns. That is a
matter of several months at the best,
so time can be saved by sending the
raw material here. And time is one
Of the principal factors now. We are
the equals of Germany to-day. We
can easily become the superiors. We
must not give Germany time to catch
up.
Ship Steel TO France
There is on the docks in New York
a huge quantity of steel belonging to
the French government Now that
America has declared war on Germany
that steel can be shipped to US and we
can use it for making guns and shells.
Ships, ships, ships Were | an
American | would start a shipyard that
would build one standardized. medium
tonnage ship a day. The 160 German
ships informed in America mean one
months submarine warfare. This
question of ships is one of the most
important of the war, and it will be
one of the most important after the
war. The nation that starts with a
great merchant marine after the war
will have the world in its hands. Every
other country will have to bow TO the
one with a merchant marine. This is
Americas chance. Build ships. II does
not matter whether they are of wood
or papier mache. Build ships. We
need them to-day for the war and we
will need them more tomorrow for
after the war Build ships.
Build, also, automobiles and motor
trucks. Give us forty thousand auto
mobiles and motor trucks and the
drivers for them. Petrol is matter
Of transport ships again. And give us
aeroplanes, five thousand, a hundred
thousand. We cannot have too many.
Americans must remember now that
il is war and be ready TO sacrifice
themselves. give up making things for
pleasure, and turn their automobile
factories into munitions factories.
That is the lesson England and France
have learned-no more luXuries-and 1t
is the lesson America must learn.

Loucheur Declares u. S. Can
Bring Victory with Guns,
Shells and Steel
By FRED Il. PITNEY

Paris. April I'm. Loucheur, Min
lister of Munitions in the French gov
eminent, was before the war one of the
best known engineers in France. He
was chosen on account Of his organic
ing abilities to coordinate the French
munitions industries, and it was be-
cause of the high position he holds
here that sought an opportunity to
ask him his advice for America on
entering the war. He began our con-
versation with a tribute to America.
AT the beginning Of the war;" he
said, 81 sent to America a mission to
purchase rapidly large quantities Of
machinery. Sometimes the business
was so quickly arranged on both sides
that less than month elapsed between
the placing of the orders in America
and the turning of the wheels in the
factories of France.
"By such means created the two
largest munitions factories in France.
Later in the war sent to America
a mission to inquire into American in
dustrial processes and to take stock Of
ideas for use in the war factories OF
France. As the result of that mission
many American ideas have been intro
duced in France"

Tighten Blockade

"And now" I asked, "what is your
advice to America ?"
"The three great points for America
to consider immediately ne fepued'
ARE the blockade, the merchant ma
rine and raw material.
"Now that America is in the war, we
should be able TO make the blockade
of Germany much tighter and prevent
her from receiving a large amount OF
material from neutrals that is at pres
emit reaching her. In my opinion, Ger
many has now reached the maximum
of her production. She can keep up
this maximum for an indefinite period.
hut she cannot increase it without the
helm of neutrals. and if we have the
helm of America in Tightening the
blockade of Germany we can prevent
neutral help from reaching her and at
the same time make our maximum tar
exceed Germany's. With the help OF
America. the Allied production can
overtop that of Germany dozen times.
and that is what we must have TO win
the war.
"The greatest help that America can
give at the present moment is IN the
supply Of material and munitions
Furnish France munitions. The more
we have the more we need.
Guns and Shells Needed
ask months ago, with all the effort
we had made. our output was still less
than Germany's. But we made new
effort. and now. with the aid of Amer
lea. our output is equal to Germany's.
