Women Learning to Knit
Two Socks at Once,

The art of knitting two socks at once
-one inside the other-has recently
been introduced into this country from
Europe and is exciting much interest
among Red Cross workers, says the
April Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Two, instead of one, balls of yarn are
required, but the regular number of
needles is used, stitches being taken with
each thread alternately. The outer sock
is made wrong side out, while the inner
one is knit in the regular way.

eral Maurice, in his weekly talk with
the Associated Press correspondent

Haig's communique we made q with

upon on Sunday. 1t was carried out

necessity which forces us to give up
ground which we wen at such heavy
cost. On Tuesday the Germans were
still sheling trenches which we had
left the day before"

said General Maurice at thd outset OF
his talk. THE situation yes rday was
very anxious. The Germans had taken
bailleul Meteren and Wytschaetc ana
had brought four frc.h divisions into
action against us. If the enemy could
have maintained that pressure there
looNtd Il 10 be vital danger to the ridge
OF heights which includes Mount
KENNEL and which is the backbone
of our defense in the northern por-
ton of the battle front But the news
last night and today is better"
General Maurice then referred to
the British counterattack in the
neighborhood Of Wytschaete and the
British withdrawal in tho Yprcs sa
/ lient and continued:
Preparations for shortening our
line in the Ypres salient were made
some time ago and the decision to
carry it out was reached before the
fall of Bailleul owing to the danger
offered to our positions in the salient
from n flanking movement.
What of the whole battle situation ?
Our army has been going through a
| very severe strain and that strain has
been reflected at home. The sitra-
ton has had its critical moments and
still is decidedly anxious But re-
member we have accepted the prin-
ciple of united front and must ac-
cept the consequences Of that princi-

The enormous task which the

Why Workingmen Support the War
BY JOHN R. COMMONS, Professor of Political Economy
University of Wisconsin.

( the reason will be that some wage
earners are misled and don't know
democracy when they see it, or don't
support it when they know it.
A German victory is the only thing
that will set labor back permanently.
If Germany defeats Great Britain,
Germany will take over the British
navy. She will then be far and away
the most powerful country in the
world, and we Americans will be COM
PEELED to have a large permanent
standing army and huge navy to
defend ourselves from sudden attack.
A permanent army and navy large
enough to cope with Germany, besides
taking our boys and our workingmen
every year for military service, means
low wages, long hours of tabor, sup
preston of labor unions, repeal of
labor legislation on behalf of women
and children, suppression of free
speech, and all the hardships that mil
lions of workingmen have come to
America to escape.
Those Socialists who want the
workingmen in this country to give in
to Germany are blind and inconsistent.
For when the Socialists of Germany, a
year before the war started, voted for
war taxes when other nations were
unprepared, they violated their own
principles and forced the Socialists of
every other nation to fight.
The leading Socialist of the world,
Camille uysmans, international Sec
rotary of the Socialist Bureau, in Hol-
land, has said to the Chicago Daily
News that the war demands of Presi-
dent Wilson are Identical with the de-
mands of the International Socialists.
Americas War Aims.
The American Alliance for Labor
and Democracy, composed of trade
unionists and socialists, at it's meeting
in Minneapolis, endorsed and repeated
these demands. These are Americas
aims in the war: Equal rights of all
nations, big and little; no people to
be forced under a government under
which it does not wish to live; free
dom of the seas; concert of nations
to guarantee peace and Justice; Iimita-
ton of armaments on land and sea.
Of these aims the greatest is dis
armament, by limitation of ornaments
on land and sea, through international
agreement Without this, labor cannot
be free in this or any other country.
Any socialist In America, however
honest, who tries to weaken the
morale of American labor in this great
crisis, is simply playing the game Of
the German Socialists who have al
ready sold themselves to the Kaiser
Rather than listen to such Socialists,
let American labor Join in the mag
nificent patriotism of the American
Alliance for Labor and Democracy
Let them say, with the Alliance, that
labor will take it's part in conducting
the war; and that the war shall be
fought to finish, for upon it's success
depends the freedom and the wages of
American labor.
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1918-01-30

Never before has democracy for
wage-earnerS made so great progress
as it has in the nine months that we
have been at war If this continues,
American labor will come out of this
war with the universal eight-hour day
and with as much power to fix its own
wages by its own representatives, as
employers have.
Anybody who says that this is
capitalistic war simply does not see
what is going on. Capitalists are be-
ing controlled in their profits and in
the wages and hours of laborers with
the help of leaders whom the working
men themselves have put on the vari-
Gus war boards.
In no other war have the govern
ment and organized labor worked to-
gether as they are doing in the United
States today. In every department of
government that employs labor or
fixes the price that manufacturers
shall charge, there is a leading official
of the American Federation of Labor
on the committee who has as much
power as the representative of the
capitalists. The president of the
United Mine Workers of America is
assistant to Garfield, the fuel admin
ing Trades Unions is on the Emergen-
cy Construction Board for building
ships. A leading organizer of the
American Federation of Labor is on
the great War Industries Board which
controls all kinds of manufacture. A
trade unionist is Secretary of Labor.
These and many other trade union
officials were placed there by the trade
unions themselves, because these war
boards have become the big employers
of labor, or because they control the
wages that private employers pay.
The President Supports Labor.
All through these industries Presi-
dent Wilson is enforcing, as fast as
the boards can get to it, the eight
hour day, as well as time and one
half for overtime work, Moreover, the
agreements with labor unions provide
that wages shall be revised upward
Just as fast as the cost of living rises.
Most important of all the agree
ments with trade unions is that which
gives the same wages and hours to
union and non union workingmen.
Never before have workingmen
taken part in the actual management
of war Never before, in war or in
peace, has the voice of labor in govern
ment been so powerful as it is now in
America.
No wonder that the American Fede-
ration of Labor as is shown by the
vote at the recent Buffalo convention,
supports the war almost unanimously
and stands for fighting 1t out to the
limit.
Any workingman who refuses to stand
by the great majority of his fellow
workers in their great work for labor,
is injuring himself and his brothers.
A democracy in which the wage-earner
has his share of influence is coming;
and If it does not come as it should,
