REVOLUTIONARY CENTERS

LONDON, Dec 9-Berlin, Hamburg
and Munich Germany are the centers
of the revolutionary movement in
Germany. according to reports receiv-
ed by the British press. The radicals
are reported to be in complete con-
toll in the latter citise and all the agi-
tation against the conservative Soc
ialist government headed by Ebert is
being fostered there.
Scant attention is accorded to the
Regents pleas for harmony and his
request to drop all differences in po-
litical views at the present time as it
will make the task of establishing a
stable government one of almost un-
surmountable difficulties, giving the
Allies an opportunity to occupy forci-
bly, all of Germany on account of it's
unsettled conditions.

BY SCOTT NEARING

Before the United States entered
the world war. the Minimum Wage
Commission of Massachusetts made an
investigation into the wages of women
employed in hotels and restaurants
and in the manufacture of rain coats,
mems shirts, overalls, neckwear, sus-
penders and other elastic goods, and
wOmen's muslin underwear, petit
coats. aprons, kimonas, and neck
wear. The result of this study prov
ed beyond any shadow of doubt that
in the world is not to be found in Ger
many and Austria.
The wages of these women workers
were studied during the year 1916
year of very high prices. Four years
before, when prices were fully fifty
per cent less than they were in 1916
this same commission decided that the
least that a girl could exist on in the
cities of Massa chusetts was eight dol
lars plus a week. The same figures
would put the limit at not less than
ten dollars 1916. Let that pass for
the moment, and note some of the
facts discovered by the Commission.
There were women in Massa chu-
sets, working in the factories during
1915 whose average weekly VICES
were iess than five dollars week.
Take one illusfration-the manu-
facturn OF mems clothing. There were
1892 women engaged in the worn On
mems clothing. or these women, AZ
received average weekly wages of less
than THREE DOLLARS a week; 81
were in receipt of three but not over
four dollars, and 1862 were getting
four but under five dollars. In other
words, 262 women-one quarter of
all the women covered by the study.
were receiving less than five dollars
a week.

character and manhood Of the Presi-
dent. Did Lloyd George make his
Bristol speech with the intention of
drawing some reply from the Presi-
dent showing where he stood at pres
ent on the question of indemnities?
If so he received an emphatic and un-
equivoca1 answer.
The President showed his usual
keen foresight by attending the forth
coming peace conference, where he
will be the only man who can bring
enough pressure to bear upon the
delegates to prevent them from pull
ing each others hair when they get to
quarrelling over the spoils.
Well, as the old saying is-"History

PRES. WILSON g.
LLOYD GEORGE

President Wilson's statement that
the Allies would have to make good
on his fourteen articles of peace must
have acted as cold douche on Lloyd
Georgt in view of his recent speech
at Bristol, where he stated that Great
Britain would demand of Germany
an indemnity large enough to cover
her war expenditures. 1t shows that
there are more laundering diplomats
in the world, than those of Germany.
il Lloyd George showed so little judg-

but buncombe and just issued for con
to be repudiated when the

SCIENCE AND
PROGRESS

Everyone asserts that as conse-
quence of this war, epochal changes
will be probable in the economic, SOC
ial and political life of the nations.
This seems to be accepted now as
truism, but that there is any war
rant in fact for this conclusion never
yet has been shown. We do know
the soldiers discuss Things social, po-
litical and economic with the icono-
clasm that marks the familiarity of
equal intercourse among men, but
such discussions have been as COM
mon among the very classes which
discuss these in civil life and before
the war.
Science holds no commerce with
prophesy, but science can bring GER
tain conclusions from established
facts which warrant us in saying
what may happen. in any but the
sociological realm. and therein science
has nothing to say.
Science is the great neuter. 1t
affects merely those things which are
unconnected directly with animate
conditions of human life, and human
ways, thots and methods in social
intercourse are regarded as the aber-
rant incOnsequentialities that may not
deter philosophers who lay claim to
the title from the study of rocks or
bugs.
1t is peculiar perhaps that this con-
dition exists, but that it will exist is
the blessing that human beings can
lay some comfort in claiming, when
surrounded on all sides by the abom-
Unable superstitions of science and
the miserable dogmatism of evolu
ton. 1t is the man who places him
self on that peculiar plane whore the
conclusions of science are accepted
only when established and when clear
as the emasculated formulate such as
two and two are four to the unso-
phisticated mind, VINO reaches to the
stars
The idea of human existence may
not be placed upon a finer founda-
ton than that of the epicurean who
held that happiness is the great end.
If happiness finds in the virtue that
society accepts as the" virtue of the
period, so much the better.
While scientific men are using the
study and research which is their OPP
portunity to devise ways and means
of producing goods necessary to hui
man consumption more profitably if
more quickly and easily, they have no
remote conception that in doing so
they will make happier the lives of
mortals.
Instead they have placed before
them an imaginary idol called truth !
which varies from age to age and
which leads it's devotees into the same |
cul de sacs wherein the alchemists !
and astrologers of old found them
selves, Varying times, varying the
ories and the poor human mind wor-
ries along as best it can while the
human body struggles under a con-
dition of exploitation and servitude |
that itself the best commentary up
on the ridiculous claims of science.
Science may indeed soothe the
wounds and cure them that men suf-
fer on'the battlefield But it was !
science that builded the cannon and
science that invented the powder and |
explosive that wrought all destruc-
ton. To claim that science thus is
perverted is merely an apology with
out justification. Science has not
been the handmaiden of progress. and
progress happened despite the aid of
science. Science never lightened the

They buried her in the south chapel
Of Notre Dame, in tomb next to that

were also the last native rulers of the

amethyst. Into sack the townspeO-
pie slipped their priceless reliquary,
and they sank the cask in the waters
of the Ambleve to wait the arrival of
gentler times. 1t will be Stavelot's one
stroke of modern good luck if today
the Golfer is again at the bottom Of
the stream.
