Twenty laborers in the cement

a conference between Joseph H.
Hurley. president of the District
branch OF the Federal Employees
Union, and District government Of
ficials, yesterday announced that
since they could not get the stan
dard wage scale of s275 per day in
the District service, they would
seek employment elsewhere.
Marion Hargrove. purchasing
agent for the District, refused to
raise the men TO the standard
scale. He stated that there had
been periods when the men were
absolutely without work, and that
they had been paid for that time,
as well as for the time when work
had been slack.
Mr.. Hurley. acting as spokesman
for the men, declared that the city
government had been at liberty to
discharge any number of men dur
slack, and that IL no such step had
been taken it indicated that the best
interests of the District demanded
their retention.
The Commissioners of the Dis
trict agreed to allow a wage scale
of $3.50 per diem for its laborers
which does not apply to cement
workhouse men. however, and the
ten per cent increase on this basic
rate swells the amount to S275

And this veteran was right. The mem

Scout Edwin New. who resides In
Baltimore, but who is aiding Secretary
McAdoo in the war savings campaign,

cards show that within a few days he
has sold a total amounting to 1881;
S1O.25 of this amount was sold in Thrift

This IntOlcrabIc Thing
(NeW York Tribune )


 Wars of aggression, wars of defense. have been fought before-usually with some right and some wrong on both sides, usually with some compromise, some adjustment, as means of peace. This war is like none other in that there can be no middle Embassy at Madrid. They are paraI- Unless this intolerable thing of which the masters of Germany have shown us the ugly face, this menace of com bined intrigue and force which we now see so clearly as the German power" is crushed, all the stupcndOus sacrifices it has entailed will have been made in vain
 Intrigue strikes from within, while force strikes from without. It works in every part of the world, It uses the vilest instruments. It fosters treason in the ranks of Germany's enemies. It seeks to destroy even those nations with which Germany is at peace.
 There is nothing surprising in the story Of the activities of the German Embassy at Madrid They are paral- leled here many times over when the United States was still a neutral. Money was dispensed from Madrid as from Washington to foment strikes, to paralyze industry to damage property, to attack the government. Attacks on Spanish ship owners, attempts to blow up bridges, cOnspiracies with Anar- chlsts, indictments to revoIution-there is no novelty in any of these things
 But the publication of the facts in a Spanish newspaper though the Gov ernment tried to suppress the issue, has stirred Spain. Coming after the sinking of Spanish ships, it is creating bitter resentment. Even the action of the Government, whether dictated Dy fear or sympathy, can hardly dissipata that feeling. For intrigue often loses the game by Overreaching' itself With such examples of the intolera ble Thing" no neutral can but pray for deHVerance from it.
 No nation ever carried the unscru- pulous policy of debasement alike of enemies and of friends as far as Ger many has done. She leaves a dirty trail everywhere; whatever she touches she befOuls. Yet there are those among us, there are those even in England, France and Italy, who con- tinue to play, Wittinglyy or unwittingly, the German game. To them this Thing is not intolera ble

Illness of Our Soldiers.
(BOStOn POSt)

The accepted figures for the past year give the number of cases of ill., ness among our soldiers requiring hospital attention at 132, 900, of which less than one thousand proved fatal. This compares favorably with what is known of civil life in our large com munities and when the conditions of camp existence the lack of conven- fence and the stress of the service, arc considered, it stands a good rec ord of the physical stability of our boys and of the efficiency with which they are looked after.

Germany and BOycOtts.
(New York Tim eS)

The growth of popular movements
 here for the trade punishment of Ger
 many after the war is stimulated by
 submarine raids on helpless American
 fishing boats and other small craft
 Evidence of this may be seen in the
 success of the American Defence sO-
 cieties boycott campaign. Two or
 three weeks ago the society began to
 ask Americans to sign pledge bind
 ing themselves to buy nothing made
 in Germany during the remainder of
 their lives. Already more than 2OO,- 900 signatures have been obtained
 and the boycott committees chair man says that items of thousands are
 coming in daily" The society expects to get 100000 Probably that ], number will be reached in the near future. Such movements, of which the British and French Seamen's boy
 colt is a prominent example, may be considered apart from the plans of Governments for legislation or peace terms. They will be effective, and their influence upon Governments
 must be taken into account. The world knows what some of the trade plans are. Great Britain intends to exclude certain imports, or to admit them only by SpeClal llceHSe, dIlu lleto tied up raw materials in her cOlonleS | for years to come by purchase con- l tracts. We shall defend our new dye l stuffs and chemical industries against ] German competition. In many ways l Germany will suffer trade loss, what 1 ever may be the requirements of a l peace settlement.
 l The severity of these requirements 1 will be determind mainly by pubic l opinion in the countries of Germany S l foes, and this public opinion will be- | come more and more hostile Tn the l United States as the number of Amer 1 ican soldiers killed increases and ad- l ditiOnal submarine crimes are report
 ed. Probably those who sign the boy l colt pledge would have our Govern 1 ment insist upon repayment Ot money | exacted from Belgium and other | countries, the restoration Of build 1 ings destroyed in France, surrender of l the German navy and mercantile ma
 rine to replace in part the shlps l which have been sunk, and the pay l ment of money enough in cash or ] bonds to cover all war expenses. The l Germans and their Government ! should consider the boycotts, with the l tendency of public sentiment that l suggests and supports them.
