Willing Vacation Workers

The suggestion was made on this page
few days ago that this was no year for
unproductive vacations. A rest from
ones job was needed, yes. But the rest
could be obtained quite as effectively hy
a complete change of occupation, and if
the recuperative work could be war work.
farming, etc, the gain to the country's
war effort would be direct and immense.
The will of the vacatonists is unrnis-
taxable. We print in another column
some of the letters which we have re-
ceived asking for such work--any work,
with or without pay, SO long as it was
war work and the worker could know
that his or her vacation was benetitinr
the nation.
But the jobs for these willing workers
are hard to find. None of the employ
ment agencies. Federal or state, have

Of quantity output; it is also heavy

days, or week, or even longer. to start
work in new establishment. Mean
time he has lost money, and he has been
withdrawn just so long from productive
employment. Moreover, he has probably
done some travelling in finding the new
job and in going to it, which in these
days of railroad congestion is in itself
a bad thing. If by the change he has
received an increase of five or ten cents
an hour he counts himself better off.
Perhaps he is, in the long run; but in
dustry is not better off, and the country,
at this stage of its existence, assuredly
is not better off. Multiply that instance
by thousands, and the cost of labor turn
over to the country now may be
imagined. 1t has been estimated that

Standardization of wages will check
much of this. "War wages" now get the
pace. Employers not engaged directly
in furnishing their product to the gov
ernment nevertheless have to meet the
pay standards at plants which are or
lose all their people. With war wages fixed
by the governments agents and main
tanned by action of all the governments
departments, wages in other establish
ments may he expected to stabilize. The
temptation to quit a good job at hand
for one further off which looks better will
be removed. The huge labor turnover
will be mnimized, even if it cannot be
removed. The country will gain man
power and a greater output by the les
scnng of idle time of workers. And it
may safely be predicted that once the
benefits of the system have been tested
and proved under war conditions, which
necesstate all possible elimination Of
waste, the return of peace will not throw
industry again into the old losses Of un-
restricted competitive bidding for

Is there any line Of labor to which
these vacation workers can turn? The
Tribune will be glad to learn of any. 1t
certainly seems a pity that with labor
as scarce as it is in the world this very
considerable sum of patriotic, willing ef-
fort should go begging for an oppor

If the inexpugnably bibulous lay in an

this it is evident that, unless the great

now can imagine it will, the days draw

Under the Oath of Athens

If you want a perfect illustration of
the cunning and deep subtlety of Ger
man propaganda, consider that the
Kaiser's own New York newspaper, The
Erening Mail, printed daily at the top
of its editorial column, in italic type,
the following:
We Will necer bring disgrace to
this our city by any act of dishonesty
or colUardice, nor euer desert our suf-
tering comrades IN the ranks We qUW
fight for the ideals and sacred thinos
of the city, both alone and avith manp; !;
ace acill reuere and obey the city's laacs
and do or best to incite ike respect
and reverence IN those dboUe as arho
are prone to dnnul or set them at
naught; 1Ce aUiU striue INCREASINGLY to
quicken the patblic's sense Of civic duty.
Thus IN all these aUays are 4uili trans
NIT this city not only not less, bat
greater, better and more beautiful thar
1t acas transmitted to us."-Oath of the
Young Men of Athens
The art of camoufage Gould go no
further with intent to produce invisible
ity. That, as we have said, was the
defence relied upon in that case, rather
than distortion, which is a bolder use of
the same art
The governments tardy sensational
exposure of The Euening Mail was no
surprise to Park Row. The paper had
been under suspicion for long time.
We were all morally sure that it's heart
was alien, but to prove it was another
thing We watched its news pages and
its editorial columns for the unconscious
betrayal. We found evidence enough to
fortify our opinion, but never enough to
make a case that would be convincing
to the naive American newspaper reader,
naturally unsuspicious and mostly un-
believing as to the existence--as to the
possibility of the existence-of a reptile
press in this country
We have had some experience with
that product of Old World intrigue. We
have been fighting it in our own way.
In The Evening Mail we could often read
alienism between the lines, as, for ex-
ample, in an essay on the economic
reconstruction Of Asia with American
capital after the war, or in an editorial
exploiting the disaffecton represented by
Townley's Non-P Partisan League in the
Northwest or in the preferential display
of news; but we despaired of proving to
the public's satisfaction that these were
sinister incidents and not the honest
errors of opinion and judgment of an
American newspaper.
Yet this was the Kaiser's own news
paper.
We are sorry to have to reflect upon
The Evening Moil even as to it's past,
because now it is in the hands of a loyal
management whose difficulties obviously
are very great; nevertheless, the files of
The Euening Mail are an authentic ex-
hlblt Of German propaganda, the actual
proof not of how the imperial German
government would conduct an organ of
propaganda, but of how it did run one
in the guise OF patriotic American
newspaper, uttering its poison gas under
the Oath of Athens. Here, therefore, is
an invaluable document; and if any use
that we shall make of it embarrasscs
The Euenang Mail of to-day, that is a
misfortune we cannot help.

The Appellate Division of the Su-
preme Court has refused to decide
whether Mr.. Theodore Dreiser's pub
fishers are right or wrong in refusing to
go on with his novel, "The Genius" OH
the ground that it is obscene. That is
to say, the court refuses to give his
latest book certificate of immortality The
question always proposed to be argued
about his books, beginning with "Sister
Carrie" which was the first, is whether
this writer's peculiar interest in life is
obscenity or art. In our opinion it is
neither. Mr.. Dreiser's curiosity about
life is that of a dermatoogist He is
fascinated by it's cutaneous eruptions.

Each Hour Bears
Thunder

IN Memor1om, Major John P,erroy
EACH hour bears thunder in its wings
~ The thunder OF the change of things:
Come cloud-vast shade, and slanting
shower,
And sun that bursts with golden power;
But, out of all, greater birth
And large renewal of the earth,
Mems lives go down like hidden seeds
To burst in flower of golden deeds,
And all the broken cloudy rain
Falls softly to arise again
In ripened and abundant grain
Lands fruitful to infnity
AS far as Mans last dream can see.
Each hour bears thunder in its wings.
The thunder of the change of things;
Not the foundations of the world
Are shaken, but the monstrous Hope
OF Greed and Empire reels a-slope,
Sick with dark lusts and greedy sins:
And its slow avalanche begins.
Its avalanche begins so slow,
A little yielding to each blow;
Then, growing to d gradual roar,
Takes the abyss forevermore.
Our young men into darkness go,
But portal to eternal light
But all the monstrous hosts of night,
Descending, shall not find it So
BY every holy impulse bred
In noble hearts by all that bled
For Freedom, from the Grecian Years,
With wild sun-bursts Of shaken spears
America must soon prevail.
Who fling like thunder in the scale
Such men as those who die to-day
SO that, tomorrow, men may be
Co-heritors of Destiny
And Freedom that no sword can slay'

On bright sunday morning
asked him to drive me around to see
Dublin's poorest section.
He did. You could almost put Dublin's
poverty into a block of New York's East
Side and lose it.
Then we went jaunting around town to
what might see. Meanwhile the
cabby ruminatcd and radiated.
"See that building? That's where jim
Larkin used to have his headquarters. Sure,
an Dublin never had days luck since that
man came to town Bad luck to him"
We crossed the Lifey. "An' this is the
River Liffey,' he drawled. at uscn't to be
so classic. It's that clean they'll be catchin'
salmon in the Lifrey o these days"
Bilows of hawthorn blooms decked
beautiful square. "Just look at them"
mused cabby. "The hawthorns are all
red this year. They've been white always
before. But they're blood red this year.
Sure, it's an omen I don't know of what,
but it's omen for sure"
He drew long and hard on the "o"-"sure,
it's an omen O. somethin"
