The time is coming when the work.
Ing class, the men without property,
will control the destiny of the world.
We are at the threshold of new So
cial era. This new order of things
may work great hardship for many of
us. It Is going to come upon US sooner
than we expect. 1t is the social renais-
sance of the whole world. Some peo-
pie call 1t socialism; others call 1t boil
sheyikism.
The man who labors with his hands,
who does not possess property, is 60

Germany and the United States, but

estimably for the good of us all. /
am not anxious to give away my
wealth. The more wealth and power
one acquires, the more one wants.
The translation will be SO gradual
that we will hardly realize that 1t has
occurred. The pendulum will swing
SO far that you and may find 1t hard
for time, but there will be an ADJUST
ment.
The aristocracy of the future is not
going to be the aristocracy of wealth ;
1t is going to be the aristocracy of men
who have done something for their
country and for the world at large.
Many months ago the secretary of
the navy called upon US to build a
feet of torpedo-boat destroyers. AS
you know, the allies have learned that
the destroyer is the only weapon that
has COPIED successfully with the sub
marine problem.
You may be pleased to learn that
we will complete inside of eighteen
months more destroyers than are pos
sessed by all the world put together
At our Bethlehem plant we are EN-
ploying 100000 workmen, the pay roll
of which Is $12,000000 a month. We
are turning out by 80 per cent more
munitions than any other plant in the
world. 1t may stagger your imagina
tion when tell you that we have con

Expect United States Delegates.

Labor leaders attending the annual
conference of the British labor party
declared that they expect the Ameri-
can workmen to accept the invitation
to send delegates TO an allied conclave
in London to consider peace terms.
The date has not yet been fixed, but
it will be held In London some time In
the latter part of this month. Repre-

countries will be invited for general
compilation of war aims representing

lied countries.

The British labor party closed the
most important convention In its his
tory. The outstanding fact of the
three days proceedings was the firm
stand taken on the war. British labor
emphatically reasserted that "the
world must be completely and finally
rid of aggressive militarism. The pac-
ifist element was beaten decisiyely on
every occasion. For the American peo-
pie, one of the main points of interest
is the party's unequivocal acceptance
of President Wilson as its own
prophet.

In these days of H. c. Of L. when all
workers are asking for increases in
wages that they might meet the
soaring prices of necessities in order
that they and their families might
live according to the American stand
ard of living it is gratifying to know
that there is one craft in our city
making no complaint whatever of the
wages paid them. This refers to the
Retail Clerks. The meeting held on
Monday night of last week, although
the members generally understood
that it was the meeting at which the
yearly agreement with merchants
would be considered and all should
have attended, was fairly well attend
ed 1t is taken for granted that those
who did not attend are satisfied with
there present wages and conditions.
During the discussion of the articles
of agreement, not one word of com
plant of wages was heard, the fact
being brought out that all the stores
represented by those who spoke at
the meeting have increased wages
direct or are giving bonuses that
prove satisfactory to the clerks. This
speaks we'll for our merchants, es-
pecially those conducting union card
stores. The clerks however, are ask
ing for small concession. They ask
for more half holidays and that the
stores close at $50 instead of 5:45
P. NJ during the week. The requests
of the clerks being so small it is be-
lieved that the merchants will readily
grant them.

Merchants, like all others, must be
judged by their actions. If merchant
advertises in every paper but those
patronized by the toilers, it would
seemingly indicate that he is not very
friendly with this class or over
anxious to have their trade. Along
this line. it is foregone conclusion
that these merchants who do adver-
tise in the columns of the papers de-
voted to labor, feel friendly towards
this class, and desire their trade. 1t
will, therefore, pay you to read the
advertisements in this paper, and by
doing so ascertain who the merchants
are who feel friendly toward you and

gether with that Of congress centered
TODAY on President wilson's attitude
toward the Sheppard bone dry rid

In some quarters there is a pro-

president will reassert the objections
he has made all along to settling the
nationwide prohibition through an
amendment to an agriculture bill
obiecticns which he made very en-
phatic when the house, in passing the
same bill. tackled the Randall bone
dry amendment to it. His well known
adherence to the prin ciple that the
people of each state should determine
their own course on such questions
also figures. In this he is supported
by some of his cabinet.
The result of the new executive
beer order will be to make the coun-
try bone dry soon after the beginning
of 1919. even though the Sheppard
amendment should not be allowed to
become operative.
This drouth will exist despite the
fact that several million gallons OF
whiskey will remain in stock at the
beginning of 1919. But with a war tax
of IS a gallon imposed by the new
revenue bill and the price Of whiskey
constantly going UP, the consumption
will be limited to comparatively few.

no stock of it to last long time has

In some quarters the presidents

KEY provision serve the war demands
and meantime more states can settle
the matter for themselves by voting on

ment went back to the house today

NEW YORK, Sept. THE center
of attack now being directed by Mar
shal Foch against the German front,
for the first time embraces concerted
drives by the French and the British
armies for a common objective. Field
Marshal Haigs operations east Of
Peronne are for the purpose of en-
comprising st. Quentin from the
north while the French advance in
the Ham sector is against st. Quen-
tin from the south. The British strik-
ing power has thus shifted southwark
from the Cambria area. for the time
being, in keeping with the new often
sive strength which the French have
moved northward from Noyon.
Cooperation by immediate contact
of operating British and French
armies has not previously been or
dered by Field Marshal Foch on the
present scale of fighting. It seems
that Won Hindenburg is
now preparing to move his line back
ward to the ST Quentin sector, as his
next considerable retreat, and Mar
shall Foch is bent on disorganizing
this movement as much as possible.
The German front southwest of st.
Quentin has begun to take a pocket
formation because of the British sue
cesses before Cambria and the French
toward LaFere. These two
operations may be described as end
plays which have curved the eneny's
line and have made hollow in the

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Sept. 7.-Forty-three refu-
gees-women, boys and girfs-from
the little village of Recount, near
Cambria, today asked the United
Press to convey to America their
gratitude for food which sustained
them for four years while they were
in the hands of the German army.
Sitting and standing on little hill
slope far behind the lines, drinking
in the beauty of a country unmarried
by war and "a peaceful village with
its roofs undamaged by shells, they
expressed gratitude for many things
their deliverance by the British
the kindly hospitality of French vii
layers and the very sound OF their
native tongue.
OF the Germans they spoke almost
pitying1y.
"They know they're beaten said
one. MANY told us it now makes no
difference who beats Germany-Eng-
land, France, or America What they
want is to be freed from their part
in it."
This, 1t was pointed out, was the
tone of the common soldiers. The
officers consistently argued that Ger
many is bound to win. For two years,
the villagers related, they had dis
puted about the war almost in friend
ly fashion with their unwelcome
guests.
1--WE never doubted that some day
we would be freed and SO we were
willing to endure as long as neces-
sary, knowing only one end was pos
sible." they declared.
There were no tales OF abuses or
cruelties. On the contrary they said
the Germans had treated them re-
spectfully. Once early in the war
when food supplies were inadequate,
the women organized sort of strike,
refusing to wash clothes or care for
the rooms occupied by German Off
GERS unless conditions were improved.
They won the strike.
However, it was asserted that
sometimes the Germans substituted
inferior flour for that sent them by
relief societies and gave them too
