HENRY FORD ON
THE MAN QUESTION

In an article contributed to the
American Machinist, April IL, Henry
Ford said, "Men don't work for
money alone. Ten dollars day will
not hold men in some places. The
things of life that are worth while
make the strongest appeal to the
workman. Above all, he must have
something in the plant, in the bust
ness, that he can tie to and look for
ward to. SSny war-plants are hav-
ing labor troubles because the men
know that the business is built on a
speculation for quick profit and will
be dropt. Such plants offer their
workers no hope.
1.-THE ease with which we have been
able to increase production at the
Ford plant was due largely to the
willing cooperation of vast army Of
workers. We have had no strike; no
wage discussion. Our men have will
ingly, eagerly turned to every task
that has been set for them. They de-
serve credit for most of the progress
that we have made in the production
Of ships, tractors, and airplane parts.
They know that the factory is not
seeking profit from war-work. Cor
porate and business leadership that
measures its success by war-profits in
the balance-sheet can not object if
workmen take the same view point.
Profteering breeds distrust and an
tagonism. Yet today smooth team
work between labor and leadership
is needed for the very life Of our ma
ton. Today every man. must lose
himself in order to find with his fel-
low mon his soul anew in the nation.

A special call has been received at
the sheriff's Office directing him to
select two men to be entrained for
Manhattan and arrive May 18th, re-
porting to Commanding Officer, Kan
sas State Agricultural college. Men

some mechanical experience along
mechanical lines. The men selected
for this service will receive course
Of training at government expense,
fitting them for service in army posi-
tons requiring knowledge of auto

our institutions bring out the latent
energies of our people and the moral
forces of discipline and order? Can
we sun. rdinate individual selfshness
to the welfare of the group? If So
and am sure that we can-we shall
win the war. We know that armed
robbery and land grabbing belongs
to the primitive ages; today civilized
men take their cases to court. In
supporting President Wilson's nation
al we stand for reign of justice and

ALLIED FORCE
IN CHAMPAGNE
LAUNCH new
ATTACK ON
GERMANS

(BY ASSOCIATED PRESs.)

Paris, Sept. 26.-The French and
American forces launched new attack
at ) o'clock this morning on the Cham
payne front The attack of the French
was launched in cooperation with the
Americans who are attacking further
east.
The Franco American attack on the
Champagne front is the first allied thrust
made on this sector since Foch assumed
the offensive in July and j. the logical
result of the allied successes in Picardy
in driving the Germans back to the old
Hindenburg line from Arras I'd Laon.
The Importance CT the drive started
this morning is such that an advance
would sever the German lire of communi-
cations east of Laon, the pivot of the
German defenses between Rheims and
Ypres. If the allied forces can succeed
in breaking through at this point they will
effectually separate the German forces
on the west front into two distinct groups
doubtless making necessary a general re
tirement.
