is ONLY REMEDY

Serious disorganization OF the labor
supplying machinery Of the United
States Employment Service is threat
ened by the practices of some employ
ers In obtaining large numbers OF work
ers through the service which they
neither need nor can use.
Instances Of employers requesting 100
skilled workers when 80 or less will
sufilce are numerous, also appeals for
the recruiting Of forces running into
several thousands, for whom housing
accommodations are far from adequate.
ExoggeratiOn OF labor claims have
reached such proportions in some cases
as to force the service TO make a most
rigid Investigation before shipping men
from distant points.
A shipyard recently made a request
for ii2 lsyers-out. As the name i'm
plies, the duty Of a layer-out is the
laying out Of a ship, and few are need
ed in any shipyard. To supply one
plant with ii2 layers-Out in view Of the
nature Of the trade. would be like
supplying a newspaper with 80 editors.
Before proceeding to III the order il
was decided TO make an Investigation,
and a skilled mechanic was detailed 10
the plant. From his visit II developed
the yard was in need OF two layers
out instead OF ii2.
Not long ago, when the country was
being combed for machinisls and a hue
and cry went up TO the effect that the
supply Of flrst-class men was dwlndllng
fast, a concern put In a request for
several hundred. II was a hurry call.
Production was being held up and SER
ious consequences impended II the de-
mand was not met at once
The men were produced. They re-
ported for work, ready TO start in with
in a comparatively few hours Of the
time when the call was made. The first
batch reporting was hired; the rest
were told they were not needed They
were asked TO leave their names and
addresses, however, In case they could
be used later on. In this manner the
employment manager OF the plant
sought to locate a private source OF
labor, from which he might draw in an
emergency, contrary TO the spirit OF the
regulations. that the supplying OF labor
should be handled through the Employ
ment Service in the interest OF the ma
tion as a whole.
Experience has shown that failure 10
place a worker reacts on the service.
When he travels long distance. only
TO be turned away az the gate, he be-
comes disgusted and lays the blame
upon the shoulders Of the agency
through which he was directed.
In the recruiting OF skilled men Il
is sometimes necessary that the men
selected remain idle for a short time
while awaiting orders TO proceed to i'm
portant war work. A demand for sew
eral hundred structural iron workers
rounded up recently failed 10 material

ping directions. simply stepping out OF
the case entirely. In the meantime no
less than 200 iron workers, whose time
was worth from 81 to $40 per day. were
lost TO the country's war program,
aside from being a liability to them
selves.
Early In September a shipyard asked
for 800 mechanics who could qualify as
skilled men-riveters. eaulkers, reamers
and others In the course OF an inquiry
II was learned that the steel on which
these men were 10 work could not be
furnished before December 4, and prob
ably not before January 4.
So far as Il possible. oflcIals Of the
Employment Service are being urged 10
make a counter check on requests for
labor. where IL may appear the call is
exaggerated. or that housing can not be
guaranteed. This, together with plans

PREFACE

For ID years the kaiser was
my patient. All l know of him
and all that he told me came to
me while the relation Of patient
and dentist existed between us.
For that reason ! felt ut first
that. no matter how vital to the
allied cause might be the inf0r-
nation ] could give as to the kali
ser's viewpoint. ambitions and
plans. the requirements Of pro-
fessional ethics mus st. seal my
lips and compel me to withhold
1t from the world nj large.
When, however, i considered
the grave crisis that confronts
the world and in which my own
country is playing so important
n part. and realized that what l
knew Of the kaiser might prove
of some value to civilization,
concluded that my patriotic duty
was paramount and rose su-
perior to any of tie ordinary de-
mands Of professional ethics.
In this inclusion was
strengthened by the urgent solici.
tation Of the lenders Of my pro-
fession who were most emphatic
in their contention that my
ethical qualms were entirely un.
warranted In view Of ull the cis-
cumStances.

japan to Increase In power ut the e1-
pense Of n white race?" he asked. In.
disnnntly. Nov China Is lost to the
world forever. America Is the one
power that could have prevented 1t,
but now Japan has got her fingers on
China and she Is lost to US forever!"
After we were In the war. the kaiser
expressed to me his opinion that our
object In taking this step was four
fold:
First" he said, "Wilson wants to
save the money you have loaned to the
allies. Second. he wants to have a
seat ut the peace table. Third, he
wants to givanyour army and navy a
little practicM experience-unfortu-
nately, ut our expense. And fourth,
ana principally. he wants to prepare
for the war with japan which he
knows is inevitable. The Japanese are
the ones which your country must look
upon as its real enemies"
A German officer of high standing
told me just before left Berlin that
America had made the great mistake
of sending ammunition, guns and sup
plies to Russia. via Japan. because
japan had just retained the finely
made American articles and had
7 dumped on Russia q lot of good-for-
nothing material of her own in their
place. "My advice to America" he de-
clnred, us to cut the throat of every
japanese In America and get rid Of
the internal danger" He did not sug-
gest cutting the throats of oil the un-
desirable Germans who were in Amer
lea and who had already demonstrated
that they were far more dangerous
than the Japanese had ever been.

CHAPTER VII.
The Japanese,

According to the talk of the German
diplomats before the war the eXpecta-
ton was that Jnpans power would be
used against America ut the first Op-
portunity. Whether the object of this
cniEpnign was to stir up trouble be-
tween japan and America or only to
awaken this country to sense of the
danger which the Germans professed
to believe threatened her don't know.
90 know, however, that prospect of
npancsc-American war seemed to
worry the Germans considerably more
than 1t worries us.
The day England declared war
against Germany, August 5. 1914. the
Prince Won Pless called to see me pro-
fessionuliy.
''There will be two wars fought" he
said, oracuIarIy. "The present one, by
Which we shall gain control of the con-
tinent Of Europe forever and then a
war With the yellow races, in which
We shall probably have your country
to assist us,"

sentatives of England. France. Amer

with the Eniser's staff to witness the
display of Germnny's military power.
Apparently they were very much i'm
pressed, for l heard afterwards that
one of the French officers who had
been present had written book in
which he said: "With such an army.
Germany could annex France in six
months -
l happened to mention this fact to
the kaiser shortly afterwards and his
significant comment was:
