WARS LESSON FOR PEACE

One of the lessons learned in the
present war, says, the Hardwood Rec
ord (Chicago), is that loss from dis
ease may be greatly reduced. This
should apply in the business of civil
life as well as in the business of war.
The American army has made the dis
covery and set the pace. 1t goes on:
During the Mexican war in 1847
the death rate from disease per year
was one in ten of the men in the
army; during our civil war it was
one in twenty-five; during the Span
ish-American war it was one in forty;
and in the Russo-Japanese war the
rate of death by disease fell to one in
fifty. During the present war the
death rate from disease among Amer
ican troops has been falling, and the
latest report indicates only one in
500 per year. This applies to soldiers
abroad and at home 1t is only one
third as high as the death rate among
men Of military age in civil life, show
ing that health is three times as good
in the army as out of it.
"a lesson that can be turned to
practical account ought to be learned
from these records. If it is possible
SO to reduce loss from disease in the
army, why not reduce it equally low

ATTACK
CAMPAIGN OF VILLIFICATION
BEGUN AGAINST WILSON.
Republican Publicity Association In
sinuates President Is Blackjacking
Congress in Behalf of Labor.

"The Republican Publicity Associa-
ton, which is collecting S1,500,000
from manufacturers to take Congress
away from the President" says the
Providence News, ''has begun its cam
paign of villification in a statement
sent broadcast, accusing the President
and the Democratic ps. ty of using the
war as a mask to find jobs in the labor
department for men who cannot find
work elsewhere.
"The Republican attack is published
with the title, Under the Robe of
War; and insinuates that the admin
istration is blackjacking Congress into
voting money for alleged war pur-
poses, when the real intent is to find
jobs for the faithful. No Republican
senator would dare stand sponsor for
this scurrilous attack upon the Presi-
dent and the labor department, but
the publicity association is used to
make it over the signature of Jona-
than Bourne, Jr.
"The real trouble is that this money
will be expended by bureaus in every
state to provide labor for factories.
Big employers, after August 1, will
have to take men sent by the several
state bureaus, instead of men hired
by strike breaking agencies. The eff
fort of the government to bring labor
and employer together without the as
sistance of outside agencies is de-
nounced as a political steal. Under
the new method no man need leave
his state to find a job. 1t will be
found for him by the government dur
ing the term of the war. This is what
is called graft by the Republican gen.
tlemen, who, under the lead of Will
Hays of Indiana, have started out to
get control of Congress.
"This is only the first attack in
many planned on the patient man in
the White House and his associates,
who are working out the problems Of
the war. The stupid people behind
the scheme will hear from the Ameri-
can people in November"

Especial Correspondence.)


NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Thru its
leaders organized labor of America
has given its pledge to back the united
war work campaign for funds to main
tain the activities of the seven recog-
nized war work organizations now
ministering to the wants of the
American soldiers.
Speaking in London, Samuel Com
pers pledged to these war workers the
continued support of organized labor.
"This campaign should be gener-
ously supported by the American"
said John Mitchell, former president
of the United Mine Workers.
"The boys over there will be watch
ing US in the week of November 11-1S.
Let us make them proud of US as we
answer their call for help thru this
magnificent campaign"
Every good trade unionist will
want to get back of this campaign
and contribute his most to its sue
cess" said Leon H. Rouse, president
of New York ("Big Six"O Typograph-
ical Union. President Rouse is a
member of the committee in charge
of the Greater New York campaign.
From being given the cigaret or
chocolate bar, with which he stays his
hunger in the fury of battle, to the
theatrical entertainment or the ath-
letic games, which relax him into nor
NAL comfort after weeks of terrific
combat, the American fighter is de-
pendent upon the continued efforts of
the Y. NJ. C. A, the Y. w. C. A, the
national Catholic war council and X.
of c., the war camp community serv-
ice, the Jewish welfare board, the
American Library Association and the
Salvation Army. To carry on this
work the combined welfare organiza-
tions are seeking a fund of $170,500,-
900.
the Y. NJ. C. a. provides 53s huts
in American training camps and more
which the fighters can use as clubs,
schools, theaters, stores, churches,
libraries and writing rooms. Y. NJ.
C. A. huts are the canteens of the
American expeditionary force and are
the theaters where the American en-
tertainers, sent over by the "Y," ap-
pear. Noted American public men and
clergymen speak in the huts. Glasses
are conducted there. Millions of let
ters are written there on paper pro-
vided free by the "Y."
The Y. w. c. A. does similar work
for the thousands of American women
in war work overseas.
The national Catholic war council
co-ordinates all Catholic welfare work
in support of the government and thru
the X. of c. provides clubhouses for
our fighters in all American training
camps, as well as having seventy-five
centers in France and three in Eng
land. In their huts the X. of c. pro-
vides entertainment, movies, boxing
bouts, educational work, religious
services, free stationery, reading mat
ter and writing rooms.

sands of young Jewish men who were
inducted into service after only few
years residence in this country.
The American Library Association
is providing reading matter for every
American soldier, sailor, marine and
prisoner of war.
The Salvation Army, with 1910
workers, principally women, overseas,
has won the affection of the fighters.
Its sol huts, rest and reading rooms
are popular gathering places for the
soldiers. The doughnuts fried by Sal
walton lassies in huts or trenches and
given to the men have become famous
around the world.

in the civil life? 1t is matter of
enforcing rules of sanitation. The
people are constantly being called
upon to economize and conserve; and
why not conserve health, which is the
one great asset that can be con-
served? 1t would mean a great deal
to factories and works where many
men are employed if the loss of time
and of life by disease could be cut
down to the lowest level. 1t could
be done by protecting food and drink
ing water from contamination; by
protecting sleeping quarters against
invasion by germ m-carrying mosquitoes;
by keeping premises clean; by vacci-
nation against contagious diseases and
in other similar measures which are
strictly enforced in the army. Much
progress has been made by manufac-
turers along these lines, but many
practicable preventive measures are
not being taken to protect the health
of employees, and death rate from
disease three times greater than that
in the army is the result"

and it has huge marten cuffs that may
well answer the purpose Of muff.
The wide band of marten about tbs
bottom Of the coat adds to Its luxuri-
Gus looks, more than to Its actual
warmth, serving a good purpose in
both these directions. For one Of the
duties of the comfortable midwinter
coat is to look its part.
This ample, straight hanging, con-
servative design is to be recommended
for the midwinter coat, whether Of fur
or of wool fabric. When the active
northern woman dons q coat Of this
kind, she gets into it and expects to
stay in 1t for three or four months, or
until the siege of winter is raised.
Such coat Is suitable for street, mo-
tor and other wear, and 1t is designed
on lines Of proved merit. Its service
able qualities are expected to outlast
several winters, and its business is to
be warm and convenient. This 1t ac-
complishes along with q style that does
not point to other days.

GROW POTATOES FROM SEED
Experts Of University Of Washington
Use White Fruitlng Berry Which
Has Almost Disappeared.

In IN effort to restore the old-fash-
loned potato seed, an experiment is
being made in the garden of the Uni
versity of Washington. The white
fruiting berry of the potato, which was
found everywhere generation ago
and has now almost disappeared, was
used to plant patch, and the fruit
ing potato plants are being raised.
With them have been planted num-
Der of potato tubers In the usual way,
and the latter have grown much more
rapidly than the plants which have
developed from the seeds. The object
in seeking tQ produce potato seed
again is that crossing of strains can
De secured In this way, leading to a
more wholesome condition of the plant.
When propagation is only by the roots
there is no chance for cross-fertlliza-
ton, and the same strain of potato
will in time give out.
The experiment Is being conducted
under the direction of Assistant Prof.
John w. Hotson Of the department of
botany.

The tonic Of the cold is to be thank
ed for much Of our progress. North
erners, obliged to stand 1t for months,
get the habit of industry and resource
fulness; they have learned how to
clothe themselves, to defy the weather
and even to enjoy 1t. Inasmuch as
there are not enough furs on the mar
ket to put fur garments In the reach Of
everyone, and because the manufac-
ture of fur clothing involves much
time and work, which mean expense
the looms have been called upon to
weave substitutes which provide as
much warmth as the pelts Of animals.
OF course wool is our great depend
ence in putting up defenses against
the blasts of winter.
The supreme achievements against
the cold are voluminous coats of fur,
or Of cloth lined with fur. Next to
these are fur fabrics and cloth woven
to insure warmth. Coats made of
these and trimmed with big collars
and generous cuffs Of fur make their
wearers rejoice In winter and the vigor
that is its gift. 1t is tonic only Bit
ter to those who do not know how to
keep comfortable, or have not the
means to.

scouting expedition of a colony of red
ants, returning with its booty. He
could sense no conscious impulse in
the sea monsters.
His pace became accelerated, and
suddenly, swept off their feet, Donald
and Ida found themselves within a
huge cavern, family illumlned by phos-
phorescence, and rooted with the same
cloudy substance that they had seen
upon the ocean bed without.
The monsters left them. The two
stood there together, still in bewll-
derment. But they were not alone,
for, with a shout, Davies emerged
from the dim recess, and ran toward
them, followed by Clouts. Their cyl
inders and headgear had been re-
moved. The four stared at one an
other in incredulous joy.
"They nabbed us the moment we
left the air-lock," cried Davies. grab

With sudden howl that seemed to
rise from the depths Of an outraged
nature, Clouts, lowering his head,
rushed like battering ram into the
doorway. The watchers saw him re-
coil as IL he had butted feather bed.
He looked up, rubbed his head in per-
plexity, and then, retiring a few
PAGES, repeated his experiment more
furiously than before.

CHAPTER x.
The Cave Of the Idol.

A cry of amazement burst from his
lips. He was breathing AFFAIR at the
bottom Of the sea
II was surcharged with oxygen. It
inyigorated him. He felt the thrill
of renewed life in his body, he felt
his shrunken arteries tlngle as his
heart pumped the new, richened blood
through them.
II seemed unbelievable. At first he
thought that he had died, and that this
was the souls awakening.
Then, with quick fingers, he unfas-
tened Ida's body-piece and tore the
mask from its fastenings He heard
her sigh.
She sighed and stirred and sat up

81 don't know" he answered, In ao-

81 don't know" he answered, In aiD
solute bewllderment.
At that moment he heard the mel.
low, gongllke- sound that they had
heard aboard the F55.
And slowly, MS II In answer to the
call, the jellyllke medium that sur
rounded them began to drift away, to
be hung up, as IL 1t were curtain.
and before their astOnished gaze there
evolved the strangest stage setting
that could ever have been conceived.
First there came into view the sub
marine, occupying, as It were, the CEN
ter of this stage, her bow sunk in the
ooze, her stern still lower. They had
been lying within hundred PAGES Of
her.
Next appeared the sloping edges Of
the crater, seen. not through water but
through clear air, with border Of
yellow crinoids, ceaselessly stirring,
as though breeze rufIled them. Then
there began to be visible, in the flanks
Of the mountain, structures, appar-
emily Of hardened mud. taking the
shape OF fantastic temples, with pill
lars and doorways with low lintels, n
submerged city Of cliff dwellers, and
yet each Identical with its neighbOrs,
so that they seemed to have been fash
ioned with the same unchanglng pre-
clsion as the cells Of the bee.
And the whole crater swarmed with
the sea-monsters, no longer invisible,
but outlined In phosphorescent fire.
And, standing in front Of Donald
and Ida, his features clearly visible
through the glass of his own diving
mask, surveying them with cool, dis
passionate gaze, was Ira MacBeard!
As they stared at him, he raised his
hand and struck something suspended
from his neck, giving out the mellow
sound which they had heard before.
Immediately he disappeared from view
in the midst of a swarm of the mon
sters, which, surrounding Donald and
the girl, began to push them toward
the cavern in the mountain side.
The push was gradual, and appar-
emily the result of some natural quail
ity not known on land. There was no
sense Of muscular movement. II
seemed to be momentum devoid Of the
accompanying factor Of speed. IRE
sistlbly, and yet quietly, the two were
pushed toward the entrance In the
flank of the island.
In vain Donald resisted. In vain he
tried TO force path toward the sub
marine, dashing his fists against the
bodies of the monsters. He made not
the least impression upon those half
spherical forms.
A seaman under water and one in
the air had very different powers of
resistance. He might as well have
fought an army of animated feather
beds.
Slowly. without strain or attack, he
felt himself being forced forward. He
was held tightly on every side, except
for the narrow gap that opened in
front of him. He was forced to devote
himself to supporting Ida.
On every side the globular, trans
lucent, phosphorescent forms seemed
to crowd in on him, leaving only
tiny way in the direction Of one of
the mud.pillared entrances. Yet, even
thus, Donald had the impression of
some unconscious force that animated
