MUST BREAK GERMAN
MILITARY POWER

The weakness in the Pan-German
SCHEME, even if it can maintain it.
self against enemies on the outside,
is naturally to be found in the num-
bers and the capacity for resistance
Of the subject peoples. German dom
ination is already detested through
out southeastern Europe, and ex-
plosife possibilities in Austria-Hun-
gary and the Balkans have long been
famous. All these elements can
assuredly be counted upon to assert
themselves at the opportune moment,
and to form an effective barrier to
future German ambition if they are
given a chance in the reconstruction
of Europe. But the probability Of
revolt is directly proportional to the
probability of success. Everything
desired may follow upon the simple
indispensable condition of the mill
tary defeat Of Germany. Without
that, it is absurd to doubt her ability
to dominate the territory she occu-
pies. That defeat may be con-
sidered achieved when the German
armies are driven back to their own
frontier. Until that moment, the
very suggestion of peace is an af-
front. Germany would be very happy
to go to the peace table, warmap
in hand to be bought out of France
and Belgium. 1t is hard to be pa
tient with those who, with astound-
ing ignorance of European affairs
and inability to understand German
methods, persist in the belief that
there is German liberalism ready
to renounce the fruits of conquest
and to remake Germany in demo-
cratic terms. One way, and one
only is open, and that is to break
Germany's military power. - The

WOMEN CONNECTS
SOLD INTO SLAVERY

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. a.
Women convicts in this state are
sold to contractors for Is cents a
day and are housed in filthy stock
AIDES while candidates for the gov
ernorship talk of the gradual
removal of this glazing evil, declares
the Monthly Bulletin of the Ala
bama state federation of labor.
This publication says;
Under a recent date line, Es-
Gambia county, state of Alabama,
rises to remark that Escambia coun-
ty has made most advantageous
contract with a certain employing
concern, where the county has leas-
ed its women convicts for two years
for the munificent sum of Is cents
per day. Such things make US
wonder if we are still in the dark
ages, with all the blind ignorance Of
human instincts, with all the in
tolerant cruelty of the old savage
slave dealer and buyer, and this
happened in the enlightened state
of Alabama. Women sold into slav-
cry to the highest bidder, to do
whatever that bidder desires; work,
slave, toll through the days, rest in
stockades, filthy and unfit, for the
nights, truly picture upon which
every Albanian should look with
pride; and candidates for the gov
ernoship favor the gradual remov-
al of convicted persons from the
mines and lumber camps.
For years and years labor has
fought this system Of slavery in
the state. Governors have promised
to abolish it, legislatures have prom
ised to abolish it; the people have
demanded its adjustment, but when
it comes to weighing the human
soul against the almighty dollar,
the dollar wins every time. Poor,
indeed, must be that state which
has to sell its legal slaves into
involuntary servitude that it may
use the revenue thus obtained to
pay its teachers, to pay its officers,
to pay its expenses in other ways,
to pay the jurors who send the I'M
fortunates to the mines; to pay the
judges who pronounce sentence.
And not a man offers for office
in the state but who will wink at
this inhuman traffic in human souls;
not one of them will come out fatty
for the abolition of this traffic"

STRONG PLEA FOR
P. 0. WORKERS

CLEVELAND, Jan. when a
living, breathing human victim of
injustice knocks very often at your
front door, sometimes as often as
twice day, you are pretty near the
Hun class if you sit back in solid
comfort and refuse to be interested"
says the Cleveland Press, in urging
better conditions for postoffice en-
ploye..
Does it ever strike YOU" says this
paper, "that if great injustice is be-
ing done these faithful fellows, it's
because of your Indifference, your
absorption in self?
"Now, don't try to dodge the re-
sponsibility. Don't try to satisfy
yourself that it's up to congress. 1t
is your congress, your money, your
employees, nobody else's, and so the
whole responsibility is yours.
"You have given them one increase
in 40 years-just 10 years ago, when
a dollar would go twice as far as it
does now, as you well know. Their
minimum wage is 1922 per day, the
maximum 1888, or much less than
you'd have to pay to get ordinary
ditch diggers. And, at that, your
postal employees have to work, on the
average, nine years to get that maxi
mum.
while your postal employee is off
duty through illness he is also off
the pay roll. You grant him no pen
sion. You make him buy his own
uniform, the cost of which has ad-
vanced 30 per cent since you gave
him that raise 10 years ago. You
make him work long hours of over
time, but pay him the regular hour
ly wage for it. You work him so
much nights that he has to sacrifice
his social life with family and
friends. When he has loyalty stuck
by the job, say, 40 years and be-
comes untitled for anything else,
you turn him out to grass himself,
exclusively, to find the grass.
That's the way you've been treat
ing your postoffice clerks and letter
carriers. And, last year, your post
office department returned you a net
surplus of $5,827, 296.O7!"

The Denver Express has discovered
that profiteering is quite an art in
little old New York. The Elk

tors now make out net profit of
$754.96. The balance went for

Using, salaries, etc, the managing

ONLY REMEDY
IS IN PUBLIC
OWNERSHIP

Every pound of copper and every
gallon of oil refined in the great
plants that line the eastern shore of
New York Harbor and the waters of
Staten Island Sound must hence
forth be sold at prices that will pay
interest on huge real estate invest
ments.
Underwater land in the New York
metropolitan area has gone up in
price to almost prohibitive figures.
The sale has just been announced of
l2O acres near Carteret, n. j., to the
United States Metal Refining Com
pany for $1,200,000, the seller be-
ing the International Nickel Com
pany. Seven years ago the latter
company purchased the tract for
S960,0OO, and fifteen years ago 1t
was held for less than half of that
sum.
By holding this 120-acre tract idle
for seven years and paying a few
hundred dollars in taxes, the Inter-
national Nickel ompany made prof
it of $240000.
AS the export trade of the United
States grows, land on or near the
waters of New York harbor becomes
every day more valuable. The in
crease in values is enormous, total
ing hundreds of millions of dollars.
These increases are due to the needs
of American industry and commerce,
and the owners of the land have
contributed nothing toward them.
A few landowners in and near
New York have been enabled to levy
an enormous toll on the country's
export trade because they hold pos
session of the sites required for fac
tories, warehouses and shipping
docks. The necessity of earning in
terest on these huge sums invested
in real estate means that less money
can be paid in wages to American
labor for producing the products that
must be sold in foreign markets in
competition with those of other
lands.
If the Federal Government or the
States of New York and New Jersey
had acquired the lands adjoining
the harbor a few years ago, hun
dreds of millions that now go in
unearned profits to landowners would
have been saved and the Government
would have accumulated a fund suf-
ficient to pay for all the dredging
and other improvements now so bad
ly needed at the country's greatest
port.
Public ownership of docks and
terminal warehouses, together with
taxation Of the land values of sites
needed for industrial plants, is a
policy that could still be enforced to
save the export trade from the heavy
burden laid upon it by land specula-
tors.

NAVY HIGH-POWER
RADIO CHAIN WORKING
THROUGH TO CAVITE

Secretary Daniels was surprised
Wednesday morning by the receipt
from Admiral Knight, commanding
the Asiatic Fleet, of radio message
which announced the successful COM
pletion of the chain of high power
stations whose construction was au-
thorized by the act of August %,
1912. The stations comprising this
chain are Arlington, Darien, San
Diego, Pearl Harbor and Cavite.
Progress of the Chain
Darien was completed about two
years ago, San Diego in March of
this year, and Pearl Harbor in Oc-
tober; and while it was known that
the acceptance test of the Cavite sta
ton was under way, the Secretary
was quite unprepared for the fol-
lowing message from Admiral
Knight:
Secretary of the Navy,
Washington.
"The commander in chief of the
Asiatic Fleet in the first radio mes
sage from Cavite to Washington
presents his compliments to the Sec
rotary of the Navy and wishes him
to accept the very cordial Christmas
and New Years greeting of the Of
ficers and men of the Asiatic Fleet
and sation."
To which the Secretary replied:
admiral Knight,
"Cavite.
81 am pleased to acknowledge the
receipt of the Christmas greeting of
the officers and men of your COM
mand transmitted in the first radio
message from Cavite to Washington
and congratulate you and those in
timately associated with the COM
pletion of the last link in our chain
of high power radio stations upon
the success achieved, which meets
every expectation and places you in
such direct communication with the
department"
Proved by Darien Tests
When the high powered radio sta
tons were first projected, it was
thought that it would not be posi-
BILE to secure direct communication
over such a long distance as that
between Pearl Harbor and Cavite,
and for that reason it was contem-
plated to erect another station in
Samoa. The results, however of
the tests between Arlington and Da-
rien convinced the officials of the
Navy Department that it would be
possible to transmit messages over
the 4,7O0-mile stretch of water be-
tween Pearl Harbor and Cavite.
Plans were drawn accordingly, and
the station at Tutuila relegated to
the second class.
Success Assured From First
The completion of the Pearl Har-
Dor station left no doubt whatever
that communication would be secured
between those two places, as mes
sages were exchanged directly be-
tween Pearl Harbor and the Navy
Department, via Sayville, on Sep
TENDER 20 last. These stations are
of great military Importance, and
their successful completion is a
source of decided satisfaction to the
Navy Department.

Celebrate the Fourth

1t is the patriotic duty of every
true American, man and woman, 10
celebrate the Fourth OF July tomor-
row. 1t has been nearly a hundred
and fifty years since our ancestorS,at
cost that could only have been jus
tilted through the securing OF free
dom. with the aid of France, wrung
from the Mother country the right of
self-goyernment. and during the past
century there has grown up, to
certain extent, a feeling of indiffer-
ence; lack of appreciation of the
action of the men who gave their
all in order to achieve for themselves
and generations then unborn the
right of independence.
Many persons had come to feel
that it was holiday to be tolerated
because some people wanted to go
out and enjoy themselves, but in
which they, themselves, had no real
individual, personal, part: it was all
well enough for those who had moth
ing else to do who liked the hur-
rah and excitement in connection
with the music, the firew orks, ETC.,
but for busy men like themselves, 1t
was something in which they had no
part and no interest, and with which
they had little, if any, sympathy.
How many men and women in Cam
bridge have felt that way about 1t,
and how many have taken no part
in a Fourth of July celebration for
years? (Have you felt that way.
dear reader?)
But how different this year; every
patriotic man and woman is just an
xious to do something; every man
and woman who has no part in the
celebration tomorrow will try to con-
ceal the fact. conceal it from their
friends and naighbors, conceal it
from their relatives, from their chill
dren, and especially from those
brave men, already overseas, or pre-
pairing to go there, who are fighting
to maintain the liberties which our
critics are now threatened as they
have never before been.
1t may be that many will not be
able to take an active part in the
public celebration tomorrow, but ev-
eryone can hang out a flag at their
homes or put up some kind of deco
rations, showing their patriotism in
that way; everyone can give some
expression of thankfulness to the
Great God of the Universe, that He
has preserved and prospered this
great nation and fitted it for the stu
pendous task that confronts it in
this war, in order to keep the fires
lighted on the altar of Liberty and
to make the world safe for Democ-
racy.
Cambridge ball fans feared they
would see no baseball this year, but
tomorrow they will have two of the
