power bin just going into effect, which
is expected to register no less than
thirteen millions more men, to be as
signed to the different classifcations
in the selective draft.
Tremendous changes in industries
will be brought about. Much female
labor will be employed, not because
we believe in it, but because we are
forced to set aside some of our be-
liefs temporarily in order to put every
force and reserve power that we have
into the war against the Huns.
1t has been said recently that Ger
many is the only nation that has put
all she had into the war. In other
words, every resource possessed by
Germany was utilized and scientific
ally organized for warmaking pur-
poses, and the Allied Powers must
approximate that standard if we are
to preserve our homes and firesides
for ourselves and our posterity.
We men of labor know that the bur-
den is coming heavy upon us; that
we must work as never before; that
our loved ones must be productive as
never before, and that we must save
as never before.
1t is cur war duty that while our
brothers and friends are laying down
their lives in. France, while they are
fighting and dying for US, we must
be working and saving and paying for
them.
With the wages that we earn, we
must save all we can and lend it to
the government to help win the war,
to support our own brothers at the
front and to perpetuate our own lib
critics at home.

BETTER WAGES-BETTER
CITIZENS.
When labor is crushed to the plane
of actual want ana deprivation by in
adequate, insufficient wages, he be-
comes a liability to the community in
stead of the assets he or she should
be.
No person can or will participate in
the upbuilding of state or nation
except as that person is placed be-
yond the pale of material want Moth
ing can be more disheartening than a
condition where unremitting toll only
brings to the worker the necessaries
of a bare existence.
At the point of mere existence men
and women become mere morking au-
donations without particular interest
except as to their next meal-or the
possibility of it's lack. They are dumb

AUTOMOBILES STOLEN
EVERY DAY IN ALLAN IA

ATLANTA, GA May 21-Automo,
bile thieves are so we'll organized and
active in Atlanta and Fulton county,
that practically the entire time of the
county police department is taken up
in tracing stolen cars and chasing
automobile thieves.
The police declare that the automo-
bile thieves have an organized syndi-
cate extending over several states.
Wien a car is stolen in Atlanta it is
driven to Chattanooga or Birmingham,
or some other city, the man who
drives it knows exactly where to go
and dispose of it for cash.
Apparently no automobile lock thus
far invented is able to stop them. The
locks on the starting mechanism,
which have a keyhole on the dab
board, are simply knocked off with
a hammar, the two ends of the cleo
trical wires are held together to COM
plete the circuit, and the machine is
started in a fifty. If car owner puts
a chain through his wheel and around
the axle, the thieves pinch it in two
with a pair of clippers having long
and tremendous leverage They have
been known to smash heavy padlocks
by placing an iron butt behind it,
cracking the lock one blow with
heavy hammer, and tearing it all to
pieces.

In order that the legislature when

% may have some definite infoTma-
ton upon which to work. and as Il
means of regulating the distribution o.
seed grain now on hand within the
state, the railway commission this

ton:

crop in certain portions Of this state,
and there is IN apparent scarcity Of
seed for planting the 1918 crop; ana
whereas it is desirable 10 accurately

transportation OF seed between Vari-
Gus parts of the state; Be it resolved
that all public warehousemen be re-
quired to state the amount Of grain on
hand in each elevator which they Op-
crate. This report should SHOW the
amount OF grain on hand awaiting
shipment; the amount on hand held
for seed purposes, the amount on
hand held on orders Of the food admin
istration which is considered by ware
nousemen as suita Ole for seed
Another resolution adopted by the
commission requires all grain ware
hOusemen and mills in this state to
make report to the board Of all grain
purchased from July /, 1917, to Jan
uary u, 1918, a report of all grain sold
showing date of shipment, car-number,
destination and consignee and the
grades placed on each car and the
terminals at which grades were estab
lished. In case Of companies operat
ing more than one elevator, a separ
ate report is asked for each station
at which grain is received. The re,
port is to be verified by the manager
in charge OF the records, under oath.

MIR. Gompers Is Set Right

The Senate Military Affairs Commit
tee stands firm on the proposition that
thea "work or fight" rule shall apply
equally to all draft registrants. Why
shouldn't it? Mr.. Samuel Gompers has
protested against the application of the
rule to members of labor unions who
receive deferred classification because
they are doing essential work.
MIR. Gompers is asking special privi-
leges for the labor unions Secretary
Baker has hitherto encouraged him in
doing that. But special privileges are
out OF line with the principle Of univer
sal military service.

crushing answer to Mr.. Gomperg's pro-
test when he wrote:
Favor and privilege should be unknown.

Two Kings Sit on a Coffin

1t is hard to overcome an imperious
habit While German armies are reeling
on the West front and Russia is rising
to avenge the Brest-Litovsk dismember-
ment the two Teuton Kaisers are meet
ing at German Grand Headquarters to
settle the fate of Poland. Is Poland to
be incorporated into the unwieldy, de-
caying empire of the Hapsburgs or is an
"independent" buffer kingdom to be Gre
ated under the domination of Germany?
Nobody asks the Poles. They are chat
tells, to be disposed of at the pleasure of
the two powers which now have military
possession of their territory. 1t should
be pleasure to them to accept the rule
of the All-Highest in Berlin or of his
feeble echo In Vienna.
Absolutists like the Hohenzollerns and
the Hapsburgs forget nothing and learn
nothing. Prussian Poland is an endur-
ing memorial to the inability of the
Prussian state to conquer the will and
subdue the spirit of the Polish race.
Even the relatively gentle policy of
Vienna with Galicia has not won the
Austrian Poles away from their dream
Of national regeneration. What, then,
can either Germany or Austria Hungary
hope to do with enlarged Polish holdings
except to battle on a grander scale with
the imperishable Polish aspirations, now
quickened to ferment by the upheaval
of racial ambitions all over Eastern Eu-
rope?
1t is sardonic comedy-this confer
ence Of Wilhelm and Karl to dispose of
the Polish inheritance. Poland is not
dead. The Polish estate is not to be par
titioned. DR.. Wilhelm Muhlon wrote in
his famous diary: II have always firmly
maintained that the subjugation Of
Poland could never be achieved, even
though three emperors should sit on the
coffin of Polish freedom, because so long
as the Poles lived they would defend
themselves"
Only two emperors sit on the coffin
now. What DR.. Million said is the truth
OF history Poland is a spiritual thing
which will elude the grasp of the materi
allsts in Berlin and Vienna. They have
no sense of moral and spiritual values.
AT time when new Czecho- -Slovak
state IS emerging out of the wreck of
Austra-Hungary the Teutonization of
Poland becomes unthinkable.
The two Kaisers are distributing i'm
aginary booty They are sitting down to
Barmecide feast. Poland is for the
Poles. Bohemia, Moravia and the other
Czecho-Slovak lands are for the Czecho-
Slovaks If the two Kaisers don't believe
1T they only have to hearken to the guns
on the Western front and to the distant
rumble of German downfall in Russia.
