100000 AMERICANS MUST
Be IN FRANCE BY END Of
NEXT JUNE, IF WAR IS TO
Be WON, SAYS BAKER
TO ADOPT AMERICAN TAYLOR
SYSTEM IN GERMANY AFTER WAR
(By Associated Press.)

Stockholm, Aug. 15.-Efforts of big
employers of labor in Germany to
prepare the way for a general adop.
ton OF the American Taylor system
after the war have already provoked
strong opposition in trade-union cir
cles. In industrial circles it is ar
gued that the loss of male workers
due to the war will absolutely COM
pei German manufacturers, if they are
to meet outside competition success
fully, to increase the individual pro-
duction of their employees.
The Metal Workers Union has re.
Gently caused an exhaustive study Of
this system to be made by delegates
from seventeen different branches
These delegates have filed a report
strongly opposing the system, which
they declare to be "a further step in
the ruthless exploitation of labor Z"
They declare that 1t practically elimi-
rates the lower-grade laborer, "who,
however, also has a right to a proper
wage and who also desires to main
tain his family properly"

JAPANESE BUREAUCRATS
FEAR DEMOCRACY WILL I'M.
PERIL THEIR GOVERNMENT
AND THE IMPERIAL FAMILY
(By Associated Press.)

Toxic, Aug. 15.-Dr. Iznao Nitobe
who is we'll known in the United
States through his lectures In that
country, warns japanese bureaucratic
statesmen that there Is a new move
ment Of democracy among the japan
ese people and that high-handed pol
ICY will precipitate an outburst OF
dangerous thoughts. In an article in
Ia Japanese publication which has at
tracted considerable attention he says
the bureaucratic statesmen are tread
ing the path to ruin which was fol-
lowed by the Tokuwaga Shoguhate
statesmen before the revolution OF
1868. The bureaucrats, he asserts re-
gard socialism as dangerous thought
but they do not realize that there is a
beneficial monarchical socialism when
"the king is the faithful servant OK
the people" In this sense, Dr. Nitobe
things Japan is the foremost cham
pion of socialism in the world.
Bureaucratic statesmen" he writes,
denounce socialism as dangerous
thoughts introduced from Europe ano
America, but most Europeans and
Americans visiting this country are
surprised at the prevalence of social
ism here to an extent such as can b..
seen nowhere else."
DR.. Nitobe declares that Japanes,
bureaucrats are repeating in their at
titude towards democracy the same
they have committed towards
the beneficial form of socialism.
There is sane democracy, he argues,
just as there is a dangerous democ-
racy, but the bureaucrats, he con.
tends, do not differentiate between
the two. He criticises them for shud-
dering at the mere idea of democracy
az II 1t imperiled the government and
the Imperial family.
Everything appeared calm, now, he
continued, but 1t was we'll to notice
that democratic sentiments are rap
IDLY disseminating throughout the va
rious strata Of society.
DR.. Nltobe concluded: "Bureaucra-
tic statesmen in Japan are too blind
to, and too ignorant of, the new
thoughts which are sure to spring
from among the people who have

Man Power
Bill Delayed
Until Next
Thursday
QUORUM FAILED TO REPORT IN
SENATE TODAY, WHICH DELAYS
MATTERS
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug. 15.-In reporting
the Man Power bill today, Chairman
Chamberlain disclosed to the Senate
that General March told the military
committee it is up to the United
States to put enough men in France
to win the war on the western front,
and expressed the belief that four
million Airmecans, under one COM
mander, can go through the German
lines whenever they pleased. Imme-
diate extension of draft ages is de-
clared imperative. Secretary Baker
informed the committee, the report
stated, the Presidents policy called
for concentration Of Americans on
the west front, including Italy, and
that the theory Of fighting in tho
future is we must force the issue and
win on the west front" 1t was re-
vealed the new American program
calls for eighty divisions three
millions-in France by June 30 next
year, with eighteen more divisions
training at home.

CARE MUST BE TAKEN
IN THE PoIsoNs USED
FOR THE ARMY WORM

Gainesville, Aug 15.-Statements
having been made in several news
papers of the State to the effect that
white orsenic should be- used for
white arsentic should be used for
worm, Wilmon Newell, Plant Com
missioner, calls attention to the fact
that this material should not be used
for application to living plants of
any character. The term "orsenic"
or white arsenic" as commercially
used refers to arsenic trioxide. This
is the ordinary white arsenic Of the
druggist. 1t contains a very high
percentage of water soluble arsenic
and is very destructive to vegetation.
Its application to a castor bean or
cotton field would practically destroy
the plants within a couple of days
time.
The proper poison to use for the
army worm is powdered arsenate OF
lead, an arsenical poison which does
not contain water soluble arsenic to
any appreciable extent, and which,
therefore is not injurious to plants,
while being extremely poisonous to
all animal life including insects.
Farmers should not confuse the two
substances.
The army worm situation through
out most of the State is now relative.
ly quiet Several thousands Of acres
of castor beans we're saved from de-
struction by the pest through the
hard work of the Plant Board In
spectors, assisted by agents of the
United States Department of Agri.
culture and employees of the official
government contractors.
Worms which escaped the attacks
of the Inspectors and which lived to
maturity without receiving a fatal
dose of poison, have entered the
ground where they are even now
transforming into adult moths. These
moths will deposit on the foliage eggs
which will produce the next genera.
tion Of the army worms. In some
sections of the State, particularly In
Hillsboro county, and along the East
Coast, the young worms of the com.
ing generation are already In evi.
