He's Ready For Service, Too

Probable this sturdy youngster will not grow up fast enough to get. into the present war but if health and strength count he cer- tainly has the makings of a good soldier. His mother is Mrs J. Rathjen, 355. Prospect Ave, Paw tucket, R. l., and she says that for over two years she has used Father Johns Medicine in her family both for the youngster and the other members of the family with excellent results. Mrs. Rath- jen says she thinks there is nothing better and few of her friends to whom she has recom- mended the medicine have had the same experience. This pure, old fashioned. family medicine is nolnishing; wholesome and strengthening. It has superior food value and is rich in the very clements which make flesh and strength. It is guaranteed free from alcohol or dangerous drugs in any form.

BE GAME

Inspired by the recent record breaking achievement of erecting the Dehydrating plant building on city hall green, Charles B. Marsh of Marsh Brothers, whose men gave their time free, has written the fol- lowing verses:
 Be Game, There is work to be done e'er the sek-
 ting sun,
 By men who are strong and game. Talks all right, but tt's ''work or
 fight"
 While this old worlds aname. So we'll tackle the task within our
 grasp With never an anxious thought. If we do our best we can leave the
 rest;
 'Tis only that we have wrought. Does the work go wrong7 We'll, start
 a song
 And stick to 1t just the same. We may not choose to win or iosei The question Is! "Are we eARaAS It isn't all fun, but the job must be
 done,
 Or we bow our heads in shame; No time to sigh, for, live or die, We must be true and game.

contact with the French in order to be able to say to the German people that he decided to rest on a new line of defence.
 The Germans are either preparing to retire behind the Aisne, owing to Mangin's menace north of Soissons, or they fear an American frontal attack against the Vesle line
 The enemey batteries are manifest ing violent activity, sprinkling the ground all around with metal.
 Machine gun bursts are also ire quent in the German front lines. All day and all night the Germans are doing feverish reconnaissance work. Enemy planes dot the sky through out the day, while during the night myriads of star shells shoot skyward, testifying to the enemys high state of nerves"
 The Germans are now not falling back according to plan. They are be- ing driven back, and if they are un- able to make a stand within a few miles from where they are, the whole Nesle front must collapse
 Since Foch smashed in one wing of the enemy's defence, it would not be surprising if frontal attacks would now be launched in the VesIe region by the Americans and Poilus.
 Admiral von Hintze, the newly ap- pointed German Secretary of Foreign Affairs, has been telling the German newspapers how little he likes his job. The Koelnische Volkeszeituns quotes him as saying:

DEFICIT IN R, R. OPERATING FUNDS
 FOR JUNE MONTH

WaslingtoH, Aug, A - Owing largely to large back payments of wage increases, the railroads under federal control in June reported an aggregate deficit of S5s,959, ,000 in railread operating income as comper- ed with positive earnings of $9S,909,- 000 in June, 1917.
 This reduced the total operating iH- come for the six months of govern meRt operation ending June 30 to S173,194,000, as compared with $45S,- 203,0 in the corresponding period of last year.
 These figures, compiled by the in terstate commerce commission and announced today, show that the gov ernment has lost about s290, ,000,0e0 iR operation of railroads during the first six months this year. The wage payments iR June under Director Gaerai McAdoo's order as re- ported by 164 roads, or about three fourts of first class roads, amounted to $1SS, 100000. Without this added eX- pense the railreads ia June would have earned $74,0S4, ,009.

WAGE INCREASE REFUSED BY ADMINISTRATOR Garfield Stands on Agree ment Made Last October to Continue for Wars
 Duration.

Washington, Aug. 24.---Iaving re- fused to approve the demands of the coal miners of the country for tn- creased wages as c, substitute for the aonuses now paid by many operators, the fuel administration took steps to- day toward stopping the bonus sys- tenn. Whether the efforts to force abandonment of the payment of bo- nuses will take the form of a reduo- ton in coal prices at the mines, as was done yesterday by the fuel ad- min4stradon in an order, a reduction in mouth of tho mine prices In Ohio was uncertain,
 Fuel Administrator Garfield eharac- terized the bonus system as an evil and as such he said its elimination did not justify an increase in wages to miners.
 The action of the Fuel Administra- tor was based on a wage agreement between the operators and miners last October and approved by himself. This specified that it was to continue in effect flor the duration of the war, but not longer than April 1, 1920" An increase of 45 cents a ton in the mine pFiee of eea1 was made at that time to cover the wage advance
 The visit of the delegation to Dr. Garfield was made after a 24-hout conference at the headquarters of the American Federation of Labor. A definite sum was not mentioned by the visitors, nor did they later 1ndi- cate the amount which they had pro- posed to ask for,
 The payment of bonuses by the ep- eraaeFs to the miners this summer was cited by the delegation as the reason for asking higher wages at this time. The claim was made that If some mine workers benefite3 in this way a general increase in pay, through which all would share alike in the bonus system, should be grant, ed by the Fuel Administration.
 Dr. Garfield pointed to the fact that an order had been issued August 5 forbidding the payment of bonuses and saying that the sum of the bonus would be deducted from the mine price the producer is permitted te charge if it is continued in the fu- ture.
 Calling aoe--ion to the fact that a strike in the coal fields for higher wages had been precipitated in H. linois, Indiana and Ohio with the snow hurries last fall, Dr. Garfield asserted that any step to bring about labor disturbances in the coal fields or interrupt constant production of coal will be met hy stern measures. He asserted thaa laher stability aA
