NIGHT School TO FIT
MEN N SHIPBUILDIHC
Fifty Students Enroll in
Course of Instruction at
Harlan Plant
GO AS FAR AS THEY
LIKE, SAYS Mn. WEAVER

A night school for the purpose Of
training men in all branches Of the
shipbulldlng business was instituted at
the Harlan plant OF the Bethlehem
Shipbuilding Corporation last night.
The school, under the direction OF Dean
Cuilimoro Of Delaware College, began
with fifty students composed OF men
selected from every department. in the
plant. II lis proposed 10 increase the
number 70 70.
Duncan McClain, foreman Of the mold
loft at the plant, will be the chief
practical instructor assisting the dean.
Mr. NcClaln has had wide experience
as G siupwright, a'ship litter ami other
branches OF the business at both the
Kew York Shipbuildlng plant at Cam
cen, and at the Fore River yards.
lie win be assisted by three or four
other highly trained practical assist
ant forcmen on ships.
j. B. Weaver general manager or the
Harlan plant, addressed the men last
night, telling them that it did not
matter about their former education, as
they would be taken through the vari-
Gus branches Of ship construction as
far as they wished 90 go.
70 is expected that the course now
outlined Will require about two months.
When this Is completed the men Will
probably be given course in naval
architecture. The course. which is cle-
mentary, will be supplemented with
drawings TO explain certain details that
cannot be made fully understood
through lectures.
The present course Is 10 equip the
men TO be fltters and the other branches
Of the business will be taken up as
the men desire TO progress in various
lines.
The men who are enrolled in the
school are enthusiastic over this op-
portunity 30 learn in more detail and
fully the various branches Of the work
They realize that because Of the U-boai
menace there will be plenty Of work
for them and their grand children IN
building ships and the more proficient
they can become will add 90 their value
ms money makers.
Dean CullimOrc will have the direc-
tion Of the school. but the practical
work and lectures viii be by workmen
skilled in their respective lines.

YOU CAN'T REFUSE

(By Strickland Gillian. the man who
wrote "Off agin', On agin', Finnigin'')
The Sammee came in from the trench,
and says he
There's too many calls on the cour-
age of me.
I answered the call when they ask
ed me to come
To fight that my countrymen might
have a home.
I've fought ever since we've been
quartered in France;
I've gone every time 1 was told to
advance,
This order you give, to go over the
To-day, is too much-I am going to
stop.
There's a limit to what I can rightly
afford
To give to my country with cheerful
accord"
The officers eyes stuck a foot from
his face
To hear this subaltern who courted
disgrace.
And the private was sent where all
mutineers go
To be shot the next sunrise - he
hadn't a show.
I think that with me you will
promptly agree
That a firing squads right for such
cutters as he,
But hasn't he just as much right 10
declare
His whole duty done and bis job 10
forswear
AS you in your home that he fights to
protect,
When you're told that there still is
some coin to collect?
He's sworn to obey every call that is
given;
To risk his existence without being
driven.
You, safe at home, take advantage OF
this,
And claim no disgrace when a duty
you miss.
You seem to believe you've right to
refuse
To lend of your hoard for the Allies
to use
| In saving your land and the land OF
all others
Who claim human rights for them
selves and their brothers.
You have no such right! In stern
duty you're bound
| To GIVE while a coin in your cof-
fers is found

Died As He Had Lived
New York Times ]


In his death Bolo Pasha did not
show even the courage which the
majority of criminals can summon
up and display when they confront
the executioner. To have saved his
forfeited life he was eager to betray
the other members of his sordid
conspiracies, and it is more than
likely that he would have been will
ing to implicate the innocent, too,
in his revelations, if thereby he could
have heightened his worthless days.
OF the honor supposed to exist
among thieves Bolo Pasha showed
not a trace, but even in the agonies
of his fear he could still give thought
to the careful dressing that had
served as his disguise and permitted
him to pass as a gentleman of sorts
In his new suit and white gloves
he might have attracted something
of the admiration that fed his vanity
but even traitors and criminals have
scorn for one of their class who
must be tied to a post in order that
the firing squad might do its task
Pity that might have been earned
by the mans hard fate his weakness
transfers to the soldiers who had
to shoot him and to the Lieutenant
whom duty and old custom COM
PEELED to give with a revolver what
may or may not have been the blow
of mercy"
He is we'll out of the way. 1t is as
a warning to other traitors that he
renders his one service. They will be
wise to heed it.

IN AUSTRIA

MAY DAY in Austria will indi-
IM cate more or less accurately
what may be expected of that
country in the next year of the war.
The report has leaked out through
Switzerland that leaders of labor or
CARNATIONS and Socialist societies
have ordered general strike for
that date, in the interest of imme
diate peace.
Strenuous efforts, il is said, are be-
ing made by the unions to induce
every wage Garner to lay down his
tools at that time as a protest against
continuance of the war, and if this
be true it may also be believed that
the government is taking just as en-
crGetic steps to keep the men at
work. If the walkout is general and
covers a protracted period we may
conclude that the Austrian masses
are not only tired of the war, but de-
termined to stop it if public protest
can be made to count in that direc-
ton.
On the other hand, if the strike
is failure or lasts only for a day
or two, we may conclude that while
there is much unrest and a very real
desire for peace in Austria, the peo-
pie are not aroused to the extent of
making it impossible for the govern
ment to run counter to their wishes.
There is very good reason for the
desire of the Austrians to get out
of war at this time. They have
made a showing-with German help
against Italy and their western
borders are not seriously threatened
and will not be until the coming of
America into the conflict requires
the full attention of Germany to
the western front and gives the Ital-
ians fresh men and munitions to
throw into the struggle. On the east,
also, the Russian menace has been
removed and if Austria can get out
of the conflict now the allies may
be expected to look more kindly upon
her claims than if she waits until
the general peace conferences are
begun. If Austria remains a true
and constant ally of Germany she
can hope for nothing at the hands
of the allies, and, even though Ger
many should win, Austria would be
no more than a vassal state subser-
Went to Berlin.
These facts, together with a great
weariness of war and exhaustion
from hardship, are having their ef-
feet on the Austrian mind and the
Socialist leaders, always on the look
out for a vehicle with which to ride
into power, have Joined with the la
bor element in the May Day strike
call as a means of impressing their
views upon the government and
gaining new prestige in their long,
hard fight against autocracy and
German influence in the empire.

The war would have ended long

pie in the war zone know them and
hate them. Everybody who comes

everybody who is not himself Ger

And right here in our own coun-

efficiency and morale by every man
ner of sinister intrigue and lying

German people or merely the impe-
rial masters of the dear German
people?
And these are among the people
whom the mushy Claxtons would
have us hedge about with our dis
eliminating tenderness-these among
the people whom it would be a hor-
ror to hate!
The German people who have
abandoned the German empire and
the German system for our own Re-

of their adoption command our
highest respect, confidence and ad-
