If Hindenburg were able to bring up

front would cause much anxiety.
There are German reserves ready for
such purpose, concentrated at Metz
and southern Alsace.
1t would be fatal however, for

Wood suggests that slow ships be
segregated in conveys. At present
ships of varying speeds are guarded
by speedy destroyers and the whole
convoy must be tuned down to accom-
modate the slcwest ship. The segre-
CATION of the slow ships would tend to
speed up the general troop movement,
Wood believes.
AS for shortening the period OF
training there is 8 clash of OPINION
here. Wood thinks it we'll to train the
men overseas as much as possible so
that rapid shifts in methods OF fight
Ing may be followed.
On the other hand general army
opinion Is for at least four or five
months training, while most officers
agree that one to two years would be
preferable. The present crisis. how
ever. makes shorter training periods
necessary, according to the majority
opinion
Only a shot time before the great
offensive, General March and others
took steps to increase the troop move
ments at the appeal of France. TAX
ing OF Dutch ships will improve the
overseas transport of men and ma
terials and completed arrangements
for 10000 tons of Japanese shipping
will further improve the situation.
The general feeling here is that
with the present ship facilities, troop
transport is now about up to maxi
mum. Shifts in the convoy system
and the inclusion Of a few soldiers In
every cargo ship, however. would
help the increase, according to sug
eestions of naval officials.
President Wilson's informal war

At Maximum Point.
WASHINGTON, March 2s.-Trans-
port authorities here declared today
that troop shipment now is at the
maximum point and that all possible
economies have apparently been ef-
fected. In view of this, they took
LloydGeorges appeal to be an indi-
rect plea to the United States to spur
up ship yard 1aborers and the men d.
recting the ship building. 1t was
deemed significant that Lloyd-George's
appeal followed closely upon confer
ence with Secretary Baker and it is as
sumed here that Baker will return to
this country with a sharpened view of
the shipping requirements.
1t was stated reliably, that contrary
to the impression of General Wood
and others. the government puts its
fastest ships ahead and does not slow
them down in convoy by mixing in
less speedier ships.

LAW MEANS MUCH TO NATION
Effect Of Child Labor Legislation VIII Be Felt in Every Community in
 the Country.

The new federal child labor law will cost money.
 It should mean saving on the part of all people.
 It should mean more taxes for more schools and better schools.
 It should mean extended efforts in communities where schools are not operated on full time, where teachers are not we'll paid nor schools we'll equipped, and where poverty necessi- tates scholarships and other extrane- ous aid to the child. But this is ex- actly the effect that was hoped for passed-to take the children out of the factories and shops in the years when they should be getting a training which will fit them to be real pro- ducers, and to put them into the schools. If the schools are not ade- quate, then they must be made better. The very fact that they are not ade- Quate shows that the law was needed in that community.
 Our whole American standard of lfv- ing is based upon universal education and universal opportunities. This law should grade up to a national stand ard those comparatively few sections of the country where Americans have apparently forgotten American ideals. It sends the children back into the schools, and 1t will surely create bet ter schools where they are needed. For there has seldom been a time or a place in this country whre the need for ade- quate educational facilities, clearly pointed out, did not meet with an im- mediate response.

KITTY MACKAY"
 AT THE HYPERION

It is a popular critical indoor sport to prate of ~hackneyed themes and threabare situations, but there are certain themes and situations in the category that will ever be popular because they are eterna11y true So with the story of Kitty Mackay," the next Hyperion feature It's as old as the hills and the p1aygoer who dinna naethln' abOot no French emotion and therefore canna be blase to save his neck will find in it much to delight.
 Kitty is lass Wha lives ava f the H1elands, a a wee sma' place cad Drumthochty. She hasn't any definite idea of her origin, knowing only that child, and is under the guardianship and care of the drunken Sandy Mo Nab, and subject to the abuse of Mrs. McNab, and her daughter Lii.
 One day she is taken away to Lon- don to become the ward of Lord In- glehart There she and Lieut.. David Graham, the Lords son, fall desper- ately i'll love, only to have David yield to his fathers desire that they must stay apart.
 She doesn't know that David's yield ign IS because his father has sadly confessed to him that Kitty is his own daughter by an earlier, humble marriage.
 So Kitty goes back to Drumthochty. But 1t so happens that Sandy Mo Nab, frightened because his drunken ness has brought him near to death, has tried to make his peace with God by Writing to Lord Ing1ehart and confessing that his daughter, who was entrusted to his care while still an infant and given weekly sum to repay him and meet her needs. died at birth, while he, fearful that he would lose his reward substituted Kitty, daughter of a poor minister, and raised her.
 So David comes back, wins her hand and with his fathers hearty ap- proval and all ends well.

Will Constitute an Irresistible Or- ganized Power When the
 War Is Ended.
NO THOUGHT OF SOCIALISM
Idea Is That the Worker Will Share the Management of the Factory With the apitalist-Personal
 Liberty Made Issue.
By ARTHUR GLEASON.

The British labor movement is more interesting than the war, because great CT issues are involved. It is the most radical and the least socialist1c labor movement in the world. At the present moment, 1t is distinctly antisocialisttc. State control is under suspicion by, the British worker. The direction of his radicalism Is toward workers con- trol," synd1calism. The British work
 CT wishes to share the management of the factory with the capitalist. He wishes to have say on wages, hours, discipline, employment and discharge
 of workers. As soon as the war is over,
 the great trade unions will be in con-, trol of Britain. The miners, railway. men, transport workers, the amalga- mated society of engineers, and the cot ton trades will be the masters of Great Britain. They represent an organized. power, which power is irresistible. They will not attempt to own the fac tory, nor to organize the market, nor sell the product. Their exercise of function in the immediate future will stop with what concerns their own status (piece rates, hours of labor, dis, cipline, etc.).
 In this syndtcalist advance of the trade unions, what becomes of social ism? Actually, the tendency toward state control of industry increases. The radical movement includes, actively and consciously, management of the factory by the workers and ownership of the industry by the state. The only questions now of living interest are which industries shall be state owned and what shall be the percentage of control in the factory assigned, re- spectively, to the owner and the work CTS.
 The love of personal liberty, the 1nd1- vidua1s insistance on doing what he pleases, is, think, the explanation of much that is puzzling in British rad icalism. It is here that is created his distaste for state socialism. He doesn't want the state to give him something. He wants to take it for himself in the place nearest at hand. And the place nearest at hand is the place where he works-his factory. So we have the victorious drive toward workers con- trol. Shop committees, made up half of management" and half of workers, are in existence in the government fac tories, are spreading through the "con- trolled" factories, and will be estab- lished in the privately owned factories of the organized trades. I asked mill lionaire manufacturer of Yorkshire how he liked his factory committees. He said:
 Tt now takes 12 persons to do what we used to do with one. But 1t results in different attitude toward the fac- tory work. The 12 persons do for them selves what one used to do for them"

TO TRAIN CRIPPLED MEN
 FOR NEW OCCUPATIONS
Red Cross Opens School to Help the
 Malmed in Battle for Existence.

The American National Red Cross has established in New York city a school for the training of crippled men in trades or occupations in which they can engage in spite of their physical handicaps. The school is known as the Red Cross Institute for Crippled and Disabled Men. A gift of over S50,O0O by MT. Jeremiah Milbank of New York made possible the establish ment of this institute.
 The facilities of the institute will also be at the disposal of the Govern ment for the rehabilitation of crippled soldiers and sailors.
 The activities of the institute, which is already under operation, include an employment bureau for cripples, indus trial and commercial training classes for disabled men, and departments of scientific research and popular educa- tion. Members of the institutes staff have been engaged for the past six months in studying the experience of the European countries in reconstruct ing their disabled soldiers.

5o.ooo. 900 Tons of Coal Shy.

An estimate that at least 5O,OO0,O0O more tons of coal than were produced in 1917 could have been taken out by the miners in the country is contained in a statement by John l.. Lewis, vice president of the United Mine Workers of America. MT. Lewis formerly was statistician of the organization. He sent to all locals in the union 6 Ques- tionnaire asking the number of idle days due to car shortages. Many of the locals did not have the required in~ formation. The total of 5O,OOO,OOO tons MT. Lewis estimated by figuring the average idle time reported and apply Ing that figure to the total member" ship.
 In Illinois, out of membership of ST. ,18O embraced in BOT local unions, 39 locals with 12,137 members reported loss of time due to car shortages the equivalent of 2,314,278 tons.

Superintendent of Sewers, Charles P. Dunlay, recently appointed to that position by Mayor FitzGerald of New Haven from the ranks of Organized Labor, puts the responsibility for keeping gutters clean right up to the property owners where, according to section 6o5 of the ordinances, it be- longs. Flooded sidewalks and good sized lakes in the streets appear sim u1taneously with thaw all over New Haven because the sewers and gut ters are frozen solid and it is certainly up to the property owners to do everything possible to help the de- partment offset present conditions.

 Premier Lloyd George replied with statement which fulfilled all their expectations in point of clearness and detail.

 After a thorough investigation of the subject we find that a Labor Paper is a far better ad- vertising medium than an or- dinary newspaper in compari- son of circulation. A Labor paper, for instance, with a cir culation of 2,OOO is of more value to the merchant who ad- vertises than an ordinary news paper with 12,OOO circulation. THIS PAPER
 is just that sort of paper.
