Shanghai Gazette, which has made its appear
ance under the editorship of Eugene Chem that
the Chinese government has agreed to the new
demands made by Japan, which of such a
nature that the country has virtually been

serts it has been informed by high official at
Picking that the Japanese demands are far more
serious than those in group of the famous
twenty-one demands made by Japan in 1915.
Notwithstanding the fact that the utmost
secrecy is being observed" the Gazette says,

dock yards.
Japan shall have the privilege of working
mines in all parts of China.

Manchuria.

TO Navy Iard employees. government

and stockholders:
The United States is placed in the
most peculiar position of any nation
that has ever engaged in a war-pe-
culiar in this respect that while it is
at war With combination of the most
despotic monarchies that ever We're OH
the face of this earth, il is also ENJOY

incident that must be appreciated by
loyal citizens of this United States.
It is to be hoped that all citizens of
this United States will continue to en-
joy this prosperity. and this prosperity
can be made permanent during the
period we are at war by assisting the
government to bring it to a successful
issue by all means that are in our
power and one of the most vital and
important ways we can assist the gov
eminent to bring this war to a success
full issue and speedy end and also to
enjoy prosperity is to purchase Liberty
Bonds and purchase not only one, but
as many as YOU are able by deprivins
yourself of all unnecessary expendi-
lures in the matter of comforts and en-
ioyments and be conservative in your

We navy yard employees and men
employed in shipbuilding plants, etc,
must appreciate the unexpected pros

ness and must not allow ourselves to
become intoxicated with big expecta-
tions as the result of this prosperity
as we might wake up some morning

find that the Hun has doped our pros

one iota from the way we have been
living in the last year and invest all

"FARM-LABOR SPECIALIST

At the request of the director of the Bureau
of Employment, the State Food Commission of
New York, which was granted large appro-
priation to be used in increasing the production
of food, has appointed six women farm-labor
specialists for the state. They will have their
salaries and expenses paid by the State Food
Commission, but will be under the direction of
G. B. Barnes, in charge of employment for the
State Department of Labor.
The state viii be divided into six districts and
a woman farm specialist assigned to each. This
specialist will search out the different places in
her district where there is likelihood of an OPP
portunity for womans unit, and, having
chosen asection-preferably one where intensive
farming is carried on-she will interview the
farmers End find suitable housing accommoda-
tions for the workers Through employment
agencies and local organizations she will en-
deavor to secure proper supervisor for the
unit, and will also seek to obtain sufficient funds
from various local organizations to organize the
unit. In many cases general camp outfits will
have to be provided.
After accomplishing this groundwork, the
farm-labor specialist will turn over the matter
Of selection of the unit to the nearest state pub
Tic employment Office. The number of women
in the unit will vary from Is to 25, none being
under 18 years of age and all having been ex-
amined by local physicians. In some sections,
where general farm work is to be carried on,
heavier type of woman will be selected, while
i'm fruit and berry picking sections lighter wo-
men will be employed.
1t is hoped that the women farrn-labor special
lists may be able to establish many successful
units throughout New York Requests have al
ready been received from individual farmers
with large estates, and in some cases neghbors
have combined and asked for one unit, promis-
ing full-time work In all cases of this kind the

CONDEMN GERMANY.

Condemnation of the imperial German govern
ment's part in provoking or permitting the pres
ent world conflict and firm adherence to the ends
for which the United States entered the war,
are set forth in declaration of principles by
members of American college and university
faculties who are of German birth, made public
today by E. c. Wilm, professor of philosophy of
the college of liberal arts of Boston University
Eighteen college professors who signed the
document pledged unalterable loyalty, material
support and influence until the objects for which
America took up arms had been attained. Ger
man-American citizens were urged to support the
American cause.

TRENCH COATS AND PATRIOTISM.

Everyone, except the flop, VIII send
up a sigh of relief now that the asso-
citation OF merchant tailors has decreed
that there vii be no more belted coats,
patch pockets, sleeves with cuffs, and
double-breasted waistcoats, because OF
the scarcity of materials.
As soon as we entered the war the
market was flooded with military
styles, which Immediately became pop
ular in some circles for the doubtful
pleasure of appearing military outside
the army. Trench coats are a bit out
of place on afternoon street parade.
There is a man in Pensacola who
started into store the day war was
declared to buy an American flag to
put on the radiator of his automobile.
He met a man coming out of the store
who. the day before, was rabidly pro-
German, willing to justify the U-boat
campaign, the Lusitania, Belgian
atrocities. or anything else, and this
fellow had a small American flag in his
hand, to put on the radiator Of his
motor car. The American, and he is a
good one, too, turned around and came
out Of the store, deciding not to put a
flag on his auto, after all.
The moral Of this little story is that
camouflage is one of the greatest OF
modern arts.

CHOICE rs CLEAR.

In "a special preface to volume containing ex-
tracts from the prime minister's war speeches,
Mr.. Lloyd George says:
II never believed that the war would be a
short war or that in some mysterious way, by
negotiation or compromise, we could free Europe
from the malignant military autocracy which is
endeavoring to trample it into submission and
moral death
II always believed that the machine which
minds and bodies of its victims and has then
organized and driven them to slaughter, in
order to extend that control to the rest of the
world, would only be destroyed if free peoples
proved themselves strong and steadfast enough
70 defeat its attempt in arms.
''The events of the last few weeks must have
made it plain to every thinking man that there
is no longer room for compromise between the
ideals for which we and our enemies stand De-
mocracy and autocracy have come to death grip
one or the other will fasten its hold on mankind.
1T is a clear realization on this issue which
will be our strength in trials to come. l have
no doubt that freedom will triumph. But
whether it viii triumph soon or late after a
final supreme effort in the next few months or
long drawn agony, depends on the vigor and self
sacrifice with which the children of liberty,
especially those behind the lines. dedicate them
selves to the struggle.
There is no time for ease delay or debate.
The call is imperative; the choice is clear. 1t is
for each free citizen to do his part

SHOOTING THE KAISER.

Ideas of patriotism quite naturally
differ with the individual, but 1t
is difficult to understand the mental
operations of the man who fired three
shots at the picture of the kaiser
thrown on a moving picture screen. and
succeeded in doing nothing but ruin
the screen and having himself put in
jail.
He didn't even scratch the film, not
TO mention his failure to injure his
Germanic majesty. People who are SO
easily excited should remain out OF the
theatres, for shooting isn't being done
this year, except in Europe.
His action is on about the same mem
tai plane of the baby who crawls over
the floor trying to catch the reflection
of the sun, cast by mirror in the
hands of grown person.
Shooting pictures of the kaiser will
never do any good any more than tear
ing down of statues of Frederick the
Great. The idea is to get the original.
