Loved and We're Loved"

One OF the liberty loan speakers points out and
emphasizes the point that the Hun is a barbarian
and obeys none OF the rules OF life. He pillages
villages, slaughters the old and young, outrages
women and attacks churches, converts, asylums
and hospitals. Women and children and
combatants not immune from his brutal warfare.
To permit Prussanism to continue is Of
the impossibtes. No peace come until the
autocracy of Germany is under the heel of ciwl-
zaton. In Flanders field, as the surgeon-poet, Nc
Crea says, there those who loved and were
loved" and we must heed their warning: "If ye
break faith with who die, shall not sleep,
though poppies grow in Flanders fields"
There is nothing greater in this life than love-
love of God, love of country, love of family, love
of friends. If we fail those who loved and were
loved" and lie still in Flanders, we will be I'M
worthy Can any fate be worse than to go through
life as unworthy?
We join, therefore, in the thought of the liberty
loan orator that the Hun and liberty strangers;
that peace can not come until he is subjugated,
and that every of blood and every cent Of
money is a price too great to pay for the
priceless boon of liberty.

Vive La France!

La Belle France Thy lovely land
Awake a Bismark's envious hate:
For since the days of famed Sedan.
The eyes of greed have hoped to safe
Their beastly lust upon your breast
And ravish your provinces-the best:
Like fair Alsace-and rich Lorraine;
To extend their frontier to the Seine,
Yea, even further-to the sea,
Since all the world must Prussian be-
But France destined to be free!
A republic, safe for democracy!
And though the Germans "kultur" boast,
They did not reckon with their host,
What cost would be e'er Poilu
Would cease to speak his "Parlez-vous."
Their kutur knew no history French
Before Pere Joffre would quit his trench.
All France re-echoed the Old Guards cry:
I'VE know not surrender-but how to die
For by the White Plume of Navarro,
That courage gave when seen afar,
The soul Of Jeanne D'Arc returns again
To lead to victory our menl -
France is and ever shall be frecl
In desoate, Hun-stricken Picardy
Will blossom forth the Feur-de-iis;
Trees will bud again in Normandy, =
From No Mans Land each blood-soaked cloC
Appeals AS sacrifice, sublime to God
Through storm and SHE'LL France stands the test
The Legion Of Honoh adorns her breast

"The New Order"

Theodore p, shonts, head Of New YorRs Int

ustry have been advanced ip many cases at Il
Expense OF the human. side, and he cites tt
xample; ...... ... o.
- > We have kept elaborate sta
tisties on the causes. OF accidents, on the
causes OF rail and signal failures, and OF
all classes of material But what funda-
mental statistics do we keep on the causes
of failure and Of the dissatisfaction OF

the two, labor (sstished and efficiently is
the more valuable asset.
At the head of the various departments
or units Of industry We have trained ex-
perts, viz, lawyers, chemists and engineers.
anything goes yitally wrong with me
source OF the trouble and learn from his
own examination the cause. If anything
goes wrong with labor, the head of the
department concerned seldom hears much
about it until it has perhaps reached crit-
cal stage. He, in the majority of cases,
having no fundamental data to guide him
as has the lawyer, chemist, engineer-he
must OF necessity reason out the cause
and remedy largely from surface indica-
tons He must either accept the word
of his foreman, the version of the man,
or draw his own conclusion, when, as
matter of fact, the real cause of the diff
of the immediate trouble. In many cases
this results in unintelligent treatment of
the difficulty. This must be corrected We
must specialize on the human side, just as
we have on the material side.
At all times ! should like to have it
understood that / am making no excuse
for the leaders. of industry. They have
made many mistakes, and we are now
reaping the harvest. But what you and
| and all society are interested in is that
the leaders OF industry do not continue
their mistakes and that labor, with its new
found power, does not make the same mis-
takes that the leaders of industry have
made. 1t is time for both to stop and
take inventory before industrial chaos over
takes u.s.
1t is on this premise that I approach
the suggestion OF a partnership between
capital and labor under government super
vision.
Mr.. Shonts then proceeds TO argue for be
or understanding between the government al
apita and labor. He does not minimize Il
angers confronting an adequate solution, but

to hope that, when the exaggerations of

be left residue OF priceless experience in

nished the men for the ranks. Ac-
| cordingly Lucius wrote Il statement
or gave it to the correspondents
for early releRse-in which he said
| among other interesting thins;
Il am not one OF those who think
that the commanders ought never to
receive advice: on the contrary. /
deem that man more proud than wise
who did everything OF his own judg-
! ment. What then is my opinion?
That commanders should be counseled,
| chiefly, by persons OF known talent;
by those. who are skilled in the art
| OF war, and whO have been taught
by experience; and next. by those
who are present at the scene of ac-
| tion. who see the country; who see
| the enemy; who sec the advantages
that occasions offer. and who, EN-
barked. as II were, in the same ship,
are sharetJ OF the danger"
There are evidently some things
which have not grown tremendously
\ different in those 2,OS6 years. The
style OF warfare has changed might
| lily, OF course, but a multitude of the
problems haven't changed one whit.
There still seems to be a differ
ence of opinion as to the farm labor
shortage. Federal officials have stat
ed that the shortage is more fancied
than real, while some Of the leading
farm publications and farmers in
sist that it is real, and very apt
to hit the Federal officials with a
bump when the season comes on.
The Orange Judd farmer caused an
investigation to be made which is
claimed to have been thorough in
every respect The shortage in the
twenty-four States OF agricultural pro-
duction varied from 20 per cent in
West Virginia to 80 per cent in North
Dakota and In most Of the really large
agricultural States it was in the
neighborhood OF 30 per cent.
The editor condenses his findings
into three paragraphs of tran
scendent Importance to the nation at
large. These three paragraphs are
worth perusal, for If taken as truth
which they must be unless dis
puted by actual figures Of the de-
partments here-they should bring
matters to a sharp head. They fol-
1 low:
Last year 2s1, ,oOo, 900 acres were
devoted to the production of crops
available as direct human food. The
prospective farm labor shortage
this year. when measured in terms
OF acres of food crops, would
amount to 25.00o,0OO acres, a
margin sufficiently large to be
serious even with nature this year
in a most generous mood, and
alarming IL unfayorable weather
conditions should even moderately
reduce the average acre outturn
upon the land actually worked.
There is full evidence that
farmers are striving to overcome
this labor shortage through wider
use Of power machinery, and the
extension of farm tractor effort is
| one of the conspicuous features of
farm life this year Something will
be accomplished. in this direction,
but the possibilities in such gain
are easily exaggerated.
There is pressing demand for
systematic and co-ordinated effort
on the part of nation, State and
community to meet this farm situa-
tion. II Is far beyond the control
OF the individual farmer or the To-
cal farm community. To ignore it,
or to gloss it over by SNUG Of
fetal refusal to recognize it is to in
vite disaster that is irreparable-
