Labor and Capital Must Make
Peace to Win War; Says Banker

New York.-'Tf you are to win the
war, both labor and capital must join
the nation-the only union that now
should be considered, said Charles
II. Sabin, president Of the Guaranty
Trust Company, at the joint meeting
Of the National association Of Cot
ton Manufacturers, and the .Ameri-
can Cotton Manufacturers associa-
ton in this city.
in the first six months Of our
participation in the war;" he declar-
ed, 1T has been estimated there was
loss through strikes of more than
100000 hours work in more than
1000 establishments, and the record
Of labor disturbances has been al
most continuous.
But we should. remember that
there are no union hours in the
half pay for overtime on the firing
line, no strikes or threats Of strikes,
no lockouts, no question Of open or
closed shop, no proflteering by cap
ltal or labor-only complete deVo-
ton to a supreme duty, and sub
lime sacrifice, that you and I and
those who are dear to us may be
free Of the mailed fist Of autocracy.
Hard For Democraeies to FIGHT.
THE machinery Of democracy is
not easily adapted to war;
Mr.. Sabin emphasized the supreme
Importance Of employing the produc-
tive capacity Of the country to the
best purpose. He continued:
ut becomes a very difficult task
to make this adjustment without i'm
pairing the prosperity Of the coun-
try.
1.-THE adjusting Of industry to war
must not be so sweeping that the
general organization for production
will be destroyed. We have the
great necessity forced upon US to
adjust industry 80 as to supply the
required amount Of war products;
but we have also a great RESPONSE
bility imposed upon US in the main
tenance of our industrial organiza-
ton for the future"
The speaker said there were few
absolutely on-essential industries,
and that it was necessary to go
slowly in suppressdng those relative
ly on-essential. He pleaded for as
little interference with business as
possible. and on the question Of price
/ fixing said:
Price Fixing Brings Vicious Circle.

commodity Is established it becomes

the hat pictured, however, is a very
good alibi fol the premature use Of
velvet. On account of the trying
color of leghorn some dark shade Is
needed to be worn next to the face.
Here black velvet is used effectively
to face the broad brinmed dropping
sailor shape. The soft crushable
crown is also Of black velvet with a
huge black pompom placed at a dash
ing angle.
One look at the hat and one is in
clined to forgive the excessive use of
this decidedly winter fabric for sum-
mer wear, but even so If this initial
display Of velvet is not stopped, it
looks very much as if we should be
back to the old time rushing Of sea-
sons.

In spite of the fact that millinery
publications have loudly preached
the futility Of exhibiting hats featur-
ing the use Of velvet in the spring
and early summer season, it is very
evident that these notes of warning
have gone unheeded, for, in the shops
and department stores one sees vel
vet used in g. most obvious manner.
Brims developed in velvet are com
bined with straw crowns or velvet
crowns are posed on brins Of prom
inent and, most of all, entire hats
have been seen, although it is to be
hoped that they will continue to be
as Of minor interest to the public as
they are now.

imperative that prices Of many
other commodities also should be

Gus circle. It is questionable wheth-
er 1t would not be better to allow
prices to take their course and to
have the government apply a tax

period of the war as a counter re-

competitive conditions that would
force this country to put up protec-

British at Baku.

Silence of several weeks in the mat
ter of the British expedition in Meso-
potamia is broken by the announce
ment that a force of British has ar
rived at Baku, on the western shore Of
the Caspian sea. The force made its
way against great natural difficulties
from Bagdad through Persia, by way
of Hamadan, encountering some oppo-
sition from tribesmen, who we're de-
feated. The distance from Bagdad to
Euzei, or Enzel1i, as variously spelled,
on the southern shore of the Caspian,
whence the force proceeded by. boat to
Baku, is roughly $50 miles. Obviously
all supplies had to be transported with
the column. No mention is made a
TO the size of the force. But, great OF
small, this achievement. is remarkable,
IN view Of the fact that the expedition
went forward against an uncertain
condition Of native feeling, perhaps
into a trap. 1t was a characteristic
British enterprise, plucky and hazard
Gus, and its success is likely to have a
marked and important effect upon the
situation in the east. q.
According to one account, Baku is
now held by a combined force Of Brit
nh, Russian and Armenian troops.

'Yanks," Not "Sammies."

Gen. March says that the American
troops do not like the name "Sammies"
and prefer to be known as "Yanks."
There is really NO reason why they
should not like the name "Sammies." !"
which was the result Of misunder-
standing Of q most delightful greeting.
When they arrived in France they
were hailed by the people as mos
amis," "our friends" These words in
the French pronunciation suggest the
word "Sammie." And so the name
started and for . time became fixed.
But somehow or other there seems to
be q suggestion in some minds that
''sammie" is belittling. There is moth
ing little, or feeble, or effeninate about
the figure Of Uncle Sam. But if the
men on the other side who are carry
ing the American flag forward so won
derfully well feel that Sammy" is q
reflection on them their wishes are
surely to be respected. Anything they
want they should have, from . new
nickname to the best equipment in the

At Last, the Tariff.

The tariff has at last been drawn
into the revenue question. On the
motion of Mr.. Gardner of Texas, .
democrat and low tariff advocate, the
ways and means committee yesterday
appointed subcommittee ITO look in
to the question Of the tariff, and re-
port back to the full committee at
some time in the future as to whether
the tariff can be 'yeserted to to get
more money during the war"
The subcommittee is composed Of
Kitchin, Rainsy and Dixon, democrats,
and snti-protestionists, aud Fosdaey
and Moore. sepublieaas, and pro-
tectionists.
Here, as may be seen. il the founda-
tior for debate and delay. A weeks
delay in reporting the bill out Of
the committee is already anpouneed,
though not ascribed to this PROPOSE
tion; and If the tariff is resortei to
for revenue we may expect longer de-
bate in both House and Senate.
The tariff law now on the books is
the Underwood law, which. a. . rsve-
nue producer, had >faissd before the
European war broke ont Since then

creased. The dislocations Of business
Of every kind and everywhere have
thrown customs matters into con-
fusion.
Until now, there had been feeling,
shared by both sides, that tariff re-
vision, even on limited scale, should
be postponed until after the war.
Everything. it was argued, was SO out
Of plumb as tho result Of hostilities
that the question could not be proper
ly or successfully approached until
conditions were again on peace basis.
Then, it was suggested, the old con-
troversy about what kind Of a tariff
best suited American industries and
wage scales could, and would, be re-
.newed
There can be no doubt that the tariff
law can be changed SO as to produce
more revenue. But there is contro.
versy in plenty about tho wisdom Of
such a step at this time; about
whether, with other sources Of revenue
supply open and within reach, it is sd-
visable while the world is in commotion
and world production and distribution
greatly disturbed, to order collections
from that source.
1t is big task the ways ard means
committee has in hand; and its diff
fenlties seem to grow. But tho coun-
try expects them to be surInounted,
and the government has need Of the
revenue the bill is expected to carry.

the Black sea, about 40 miles by difa-
cult road. The region they must cross
is mountainous and the inhabitants
are naturally hostile to the Turks, SO
that the progress Of the expedition is
likely to be even more dangerous than
was that Of the British through Persia.
The importance Of the occupation Of
Baku lies in the fact that that city is
the center of a great petroleum indus
try. From Baku, indeed, goes most Of
the oil for the supply Of Europe. 1t is
piped to Batoum and also sent by tank
cars. With the British occupation Of
Baku the supply to the central powers
ceases, and a determined fight to wrest
possession Of the point from the allies
will doubtless be waged. For some
time past, ever since the writing Of
the peace treaty with Russia, Germany
and Turkey have been at odds over
the control of the Baku oil field, Ger

ing the right to dominate there rs
elsewhere in the zone Of conquest.
This difference, however, is not likely
to cause any Turkish hesitation now
about endeavoring to redeem Baku
from the British.
More than the control Of the oil
products of Transcaucasia depends
upon the maintenance Of the outpost
established at Baku. If the British
can hold there and maintain line Of
through Persia they
will have made a connection with the
anti German forces of southeast Rus
sia which may have decided eject
in stimulating the factors hostile to
the central powers in that country.

No Quorum.

Failure Of quorum Of the Senate
to respond to a summons yesterday
caused delay in the program Of man
power legislation. Only forty-three
members responded to the call when
the Senate met, although six more were
in the city, three Of them in the
Capitol building when the roll was
called. Had all of these been present
it would have been possible to adopt
the motion to end the recess on Mon
day and start the bill on its passage.
1t is difficult to- understand the
:axity shown by this failure to answer
the summons to business. The man
power bill is Of vital importance. Gen.
Crowder has announced that all avail
able American drafted men will be ex-
hausted by the first Of October, and
that it is essential to q continuous
transportation Of troops to Europe
that registration under the new law
be had in early September. Every day
is Of value and yet, owing to the lack
of quorum yesterday, three days are
lost.
This is one of the mischievous 70.
suits oe virtual adjournment Of Con-
gress in the midst Of the program Of
war legislation. Had the houses re.
NAMED in session, with . working
quorum at hand or within assured call,
TIE man-power bill could have been
nut through Immediately upon being
reported.
There should be no doubt Whatever
Of a quorum on Monday. Those soma
tors who were derelict yesterday bear
\ serious responsibility for their fail
ure to answer to their names in order
to start this vitality important legis-
.ation, especially those who were in
the city and in the Capitol building
itself, and who, BY exercise Of 3 little
enterprise, could have completed the
quorum and so carried the rule for
consideration Of the bill Monday. Any
further delay in this matter wi1l have
the effect, even though the motive may
he wholly beyond suspicion, Of render
ing aid and comfort to the enemy.
The spectacle of an American Con-
gress unwilling to 60 to the trouble
Of reporting to insure the promptest
possible passage of law to insure
sufficient fighting force to win victory
is distinctly unpleasant.

Americas Program Of Victory.

American plans for winning the war
are based definitely upon man power.
1t is now contemplated to have in
France by the end of next June eighty
divisions. or over 100000 troops, with
more in training. Under the new
draft age limits many more than this
number of men will be available for
service. Gen. March believes that
100000 men from the United States
will enable the allies to break the Ger
man line and end the war. The hope
is that the American transportation
program will be accelerated so that
the number sent across during the cur
rent fiscal year will be even greater
than that announced, just as the num-
Der sent abroad up to the first of Au-
gust this year was far in excess of the
plans formed in March and April.
A striking fact in connection with
official announcement of our man
power program is that there is now,
and it is stated there will hereafter
be, no concealment of our purpose. On
the contrary, fullest publicity is given
to the plan to put at least 100000
men abroad by the end Of next June.
1t is desired that the German people
should know, even as the German gov
ernment has its own means of know
ing, just what we plan to do over here.
The more fully they are informed of
the intention of the United States to
go fhe limit in the matter of man
power for victory the sooner they will
realize the hopelessness of their strug-
gle.
Man power alone, of course, will not
win. There must be complete equip
ment of our forces in arms and in mu-
nitions, in airplanes and in motors, in
tanks and all the devices that this war
has developed. Latest reports of our
uunition work are distinctly encour-
aging. We have, it is now known,
reached the stage of quantity produc
tion in practically all lines Of Army
equipment. Our ship construction is
now progressing at rate that renders
the submarine activities of Germany
virtually fruitless.
After a little more than sixteen
months the United States has become
q war factor of such magnitude that
the German government is beginning
to talk peace more definitely than
heretofore. No specific proposals have
lately been made, but the lessons of
the last two allied offensives at the
Marne and in Picardy have not been
lost upon the enemy, and the new for
eign minister, Won Hintze, is giving
interviews on peace that are plainly
preliminary to some form of specific
overture. The complete failure of
Germany's military plans this summer,
coupled with the demonstration Of pos
session of initiative and balance of
man power by the allies, makes some
effort. by Germany to end the war by
arrangement this winter virtually i'm
perative. Our task during the next
few months is to prevent that effort
from succeeding, to hold unwaveringly
to the program of military victory, the
end of which cannot be doubted.
