sOUTHERNERs OPPOSE
SPEEDING UP SYSTEM

WASHINGTON, D. c., February II.
Leading members of the Senate from
the South, among whom are Hoke
Smith, of Georgia; Fletcher of Flori-
da: Simmons. of North Carolina; I'm
derived, of Alabama, and others, are
against speeding up" congress to
IL the countTys business is thereby
to be jeopardized. From many sec
lions Of the country there has come
a cry that both the House and the
Senate ''speed up" and hurry along
with its legislative slate, but these APP
peals do not take into consideration
the fact that congress is now enact
ing some Of the most important legis-
lation which has been before It with
In the last Atty years.
There are two big measures pend
ing which should not In the least be
placed In the speeding up" class.
These are the government ownership
railroad bill and the finance corpora
ton bill, and thers is enough that is
brand-nev in each to keep congress
studying the new questions which are
srising for many months to come.
Sa Unexpectedly has the finance cor
poration bill come into the public mind
that few persons fully realize what it
is or what is hoped to accomplish by
its passage. tbs principle object is to
extend financial assistance to persons
or firms whose operations ae either
necessary or contributory to the prose-
cution Of the war.

LABOR UNREST In
WEST is STUDIED

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. IL
Elimination of profiteering, the eight
hour day, less inconsistency between
"our democratic purposes in this war
abroad" and the conduct of some of
tehse guiding industry at home, and
the recognition of some form of col
lective relationship between capital
and labor as a principle in a national
labor policy, are the principal recon-
mendations of President Wilson's me-
diation commission which has just
finished survey of the labor unrest
west of the Mississippi river, which
the government considered most men
acing to successful prosecution of the
war.
In return for this, the commission
holds, labor should surrender all
practices which tend to restrict the
maximum efficiency" when it is assur-
ed of sound conditions and effective
means for just redress of grievances.
The commission headed by Secretary
Wilson of the department of labor,
went west principally to look into the
copper strikes in the Arizona district
and the /. w. w. activities in the lum-
Der districts of the Pacific northwest.
1t included in It's investigation, how
ever, the dispute in teh California OIL
fields, the threatened strike of Pacific
coast telephone operators, the threat
ened strike of packing house workers
in Chicago, and the street railway
trouble in Minneapolis and st. Paul.
Generally, the commission found tina: tina;
uncorrected specific evils and the alb
sence of healthy spirit between CAPT
tai and labor, due partly to the evils
mentioned, and partly to IAN I'M
sound industrial structure" were the
main causes Of the Industrial Difficult
ties arising since the war began. The
commission says that while sinister
influences and extremist doctrine
have awaited themselves of these con-
ditions, they have not created them.

JOFFRE To join
THE |MM0RTAls S"
FAMOUS FRENCH MARSHAL, HERO
OF THE MARINE, WILL BE MADE
A MEMBER OF THE GREAT ACAD-
ENVY OF FRANCE.

PARIS, February II. - Marshal
Jofre's letter to the Secretary of the
French Academy officially announc-
ing his candidacy to the seat of the
late Jules Claretie has caused much
favorable comment here, but the i'm
preston appears to have gone abroad
that the victor of the Marine will join
the Forty Immortals on his military
and not his literary record.
The military reputation of Frances
only marshal overshadows his literary
one to such an extent that, while the
French are fully convinced that no
honor in the world of letters or In
any other art is too great for the
popular hero, they wish 70 be made
better acquainted with his works.
The list of them is not long and the
volumes are not bulky. Indeed, the
most famous writing that came from
the pen of Joffre is so short that it can
be reproduced here In full. 1t was
written on the 9Th day of September
1914, on the eve of the battle of the
Marne, and reads:
"At this moment when bat
tie Is about to commence upon
the result OF which the salvation
of our country depends, no one
must look behind! all must unite
to attack and repel the enemy.
Any troop finding itself unable to
ADVANCE further must hold the
ground at all cost and must fight
until death. No retreat"
Some tife ago friends of Marsahl
Joffre urged him to enter the Academy
Their persistence was such that he
finally wrote a letter to the director
OF the institution stating that, upon
the advice of his friends. he had de-
cided to place his name before that
body for admission. The rules OF the
Academy governing applications for
admittance are to the effect that an
official request, naming the seat to
which the applicant aspires, must be
made to the secretary. Marshall
Marshal Joffre's high personality did
not save him from the formality and
thus the official request was made.
The entrance of Marshal Joffre's in
tie Academy will create precedent
as far as the admittance of military
men to the select circle is concerned
Six marshals of France have already
been recorded as members. They
were villars, d'Estrees, the Duke OF
Richelieu, Belle-Isle, Beauvau and
Duras.
It is an error, however, to think
that Marshall Joffre will receive the
green palms of the Immortals without
ever having written anything. In
1895 there was published in Paris a
seventy-five page volume entitled
The Operations of the Joffre Column
Before and After the Occupation OF
Timbouctou" 1t was signed J. Joffre,
Lieutenant-C Colonel.
Marshal Joffre also wrote book on
Madagascar but the edition has be-
come exhausted and no copy of 1t can
be found at present And perhaps.
some day the victor of the Marine may
be induced to write his "reminiscences.
