is true that the armies Of Ger
many showed no mercy toward
civilians in conquered territory
and the people OF Germany must
share in the responsibility for
the terrible crimes that were com
lnitted. But, now that we have
the fight won, the claims of ml-
hanity step IN and bid us extend |
to the fallen foe the relief which
necessity demands.
Even though every man, wom-
an and child in Germany were
criminal, our duty would not be
less clearly defined. The con

ocution, is not permitted to suf-

necessary TO assume that defeat

Round Up Loafers.

Washington needs an antoafng law.
Similar laws have been passed. and in effect.
in number Of other States, and the results obtain
ed have been more than satisfactory. 1t seems
as though an appeal to patriotism is not enough
to solve the labor problem in the District The
situation must be met, and if remedy cannot be
effective through voluntary efforts on the part of
labor, compulsion should be used. Business men
and heads of various industries in the District have
acquiesced without murmur to the inroads made
upon their help through draft legislation 1t is not
exaggerating to say that had it not been for this
spirit, the entire selective service program would
have fallen fiat.
At the present time local draft boards are going
over the entire list of registrants, and in many
cases they are moving men up from the deferred
classes into Class l. Provost Marshal Crowder's
recent ruling regarding non-essential industries is
working a hardship a number of businesses that
may prove disastrous. The government is con-
scripting labor it fit; it is up to the gov
ernment to enact legislation that will enable those
industries deprived of their help to secure sub
stitutes.
There is enough labor beyond the pale of the
draft regulations to keep business in the District
normal, but unless compelling means arc
brought forward to force this labor, Washington
will never be able to meet the demands of wartime
business According to a number of prominent
business men throughout the city, the greatest
fault lies in the cheaper labor. They point out
that ordinary laborers are drawing double the
wages of two years ago, this fact has tended TO
ma ke the lazy element work about half the time
and loaf the remainder. If there was the slight
est feeling of patriotism among this class it would
not be necessary to compulsion, but as con-
tinued appeals have failed rouse a cooperative
spirit.t is necessary that some sort OF legislation
be devised and enacted at once whereby it will be
misdemeanor for of certain ages to loaf
1t will be very simple matter for Congress to
enact such law, copy of the one now in force
IN the State of New Jersey would probably suffice
As business in the District is ascending so
readily to every request and demand made by the
government, it is up to the government to come
through now with all the help possible toward
eliminating business labor problems
On the subject OF labor, again wish to call
the attention of the women of Washington to their
duty. number of women have already responded
have sought and filling positions vacated by
men called to the colors This is a spirit OF real
patriotism, for the woman today who goes blithey
on her way doing more with her life than
living it, is just much of Stacker as the eligible
man who 'dodges the call to the colors
Women have but to read the classified columns
of newspapers to find a position in which they will
ht no matter if they independent and are we'll

who does not work wears badge OF respect.

FAITH.
By EDMUND VANCE COOKE.

We know not who is god of hates and wars,
Whether he be Jehovah, Allah, Mars,
But in the warp-and-woohng of the plan,
We hold our fundamental faith in man.
Man is demon delving in the night;
Man is seraph singing toward the light
Both are in each of us and both in ali
And summoned by the habit of our call.
The world is fouled by violence and death,
By sword and fire, by wrath and poisoned brca e.
But still the constant, even tho distant, view.
The rights OF all against the rights Of few.
No lesser cause could Justify the sword,
Or authorize our host against their horde;
So man shall conquer and in the fight
Nan wrest from for all men greater right

The Borland Amendment.

Congressman Rorland seems to have At last
sadded upon the government employees his eight
hour law. which is the unjust legislation per-
retrated IN reccrt years. The BorIand amendment
which is tackled on the legislative executive and
judicial appropriation bill, compelled the employees
OF the government to work a minimum of eight
hours daily without any extra pay for overtime
work.
Accepted by the Senate conferees yesterday, it
IS apparently slated to go through. Senator Martin
appears to have the proper slant the situation
when he says: Il think it is the most foolish piece
of legislation that have heard of in a long time
In war times, especially, to do anything to antag
onize labor, this will, is mistake" If the Bor-
land amendment is enacted it will require the gov
ernment employees who form the bulk of the popu-
ation of this city and whose regular hours are now
from o'clock to .4:3o, to work until $50. The
fact that the amendment also applies to employees
OF the District of Columbia makes it a doubly
drastic measure for Washington.
Representative Borland, who appears in the
guise of sef-apponted custodian of the Treasury,
has succeeded in pushing forward measure which
has yet been asked for by the various heads
OF government departments that it affects That
the measure IS entirely unnecessary is proven bv
the fact that existing laws give TO the heads OF
departments the power TO work employees over
