SAYS LOSE NO Time
FOR CANAL CONTROL
Federal Report Urges U. S. to
Profit by EngIand's Expe-
riences in the War.
WATERWAYS BIG FACTORS

II the United States government
would profit by England's experience
in the war. 1T will lose no time in as
suming control Of the canals that con-
meet tidewater with the eastern coal
fields.
The situation as to English canals
at the outbreak of the war closely
parallels the situation now obtaining
in this country, but the British author
tiles got busy and put these inland
waterways to work. and they have now
become indispensable war factors.
These facts are set forth in re-
port issued by the United States De-
partment of Commerce under date or
February l. They have attracted at
tention as strongly supporting the
claims of members of Congress and
others who have been urging the gov
ernment to take over the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal, connecting Washington
with the Cumberland coal region, and
other canals along the Atlantic sea-
board, as a war measure to bring about
increased coal shipments and relieve
congestion on the railroads.
In England. when the war broke
out, as in this country at the present
time many canals were in about the
same condition as they were half
century ago. At one time these water
systems were prosperous, but railway
construction deprived them of much OF
their traffic and revenue. Many or
them either were acquired by railway
companies or came under their con-
troll.

Sidelights on the War
-BY-
OLIVER OWEN KUHN,

Have you noticed in pictures of
groups of royal personages that the
king usually stands upon steps higher
than those occupied by the queen or
that the queen usually sits down while
her royal spouse stands. Well. there's
a reason. The majority Of queens of
European countries are taller than
their husbands. the kings.
A young cavalry officer was watching
soldier in his futile attempts to get
his horse over a fence.
DO you expect that horse to jump
the barrier when you have but one spur
on?" asked the officer.
We'll. sir, II can only get one side
of the horse to go over the other one is
bound to follow" replied the 'greenie."
Germans taken prisoner by the allies
usually can be summed up in three
classes: the clumsy, ignorant fellow,
who will say anything which he thinks
IL is desired of him to say; the prisoner
who cunningly tries to lie in answer to
all questions, and the frankly hostile
Teutop. who refuses to answer under
any circumstances.
Cruciixes and rosaries are the favor
ite talsmen of French fiiers.
All men fighting in allied armies at
the front have at one time or other
been severely frightened, according to
stories officers tell.
"It soon will be cold enough for the
women to lay aside their summer furs
and don their low-necked gowns" In
this manner a soldier at the front de-
scribed the severe weather conditions

The kaiser has q role which he as
sumes in any section of Germany he
, may visit For instance, in Prussia he
always is dignif1ed and stern, assuming
a martial attitude. In Westphalia he is

ASK MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
FOR FAIR PLAY TO EMPL DYES
H. NJ. McLarin, President of National Feder-
alton Of Federal Employees, Attacks
Representative Borland's Plan.

what Is an honest days work for 9TH
ers. If this legislation succeeds and is
applied to the legislative. judicial and
executive appropriation bill, it will re-
quire at least eight hours work per day
from Representatives and Senators, their
secretaries, clerks and all others paid
from government funds. Mr.. Borland
and any Of his family which he has on
the rolls would have to work eight
hours a day.
Employees in Washington have ac-
cepted positions here on the under
standing and advertisement of the Civil
day. To change this contract of en-
ployment without the consent of the
employees would be violation of their
rights. They would be entitled to
claims for extra pay.
The House has already twice during
this session voted down this same pro-
posal and in past sessions has con-
sistently and deliberately done SO.
Mr. Borland claims that the eight
hour day Will add IA per cent to the
effectiveness of the government serv-
Ice here, but he has never been able to
convince his own committee-the
house appropriations committee-that
anything would be saved
straining to Bring More Here.
Every governmental agency is doin e
It's utmost to bring to Washington new
employees for immediate service. They
are needed. The best are needed. Paid
advertisements are resorted to all over
the country. Entrance salaries have
been raised, examination strictness has
been lowered, yet we can't get enough.
1t will now be published broadcast that
the government is increasing the hours
of work with no increase in pay in
Washington.
"Mr. Borland stated on the floor of
the House that at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon the clerks slam their desks
shut. This is not true in any depart
ment, for the rules strictly provide that
work shall not stop until the closing
hour of 4:30. Where the closing hour
Is Ais. as it is in some departments
the hour for beginning work has been
advanced to S:45.
Our Investigations have shown thai
it is the custom throughout the United
States for government clerks to work
| only seven hours a day. and lately in
the navy yards and stations we sue
ceeded in getting overtime pay at the
rate of one and one-half times the
regular rates for all time worked in
excess of seven and one-half hours a
day. The Council of National Defense
has recommended that no change be
made in hours of labor because of the
war. They have investigated condi-
tions thoroughly"

High praise of the Y. NJ. C. A. and
what it is doing for American soldiers
in France is contained in a letter re-
ceived by Col. Charles P. Higgins, SER
geant-at-arms of the Senate. from his
son. John Stone Higgins. a private in
the Washington University hospital
unit, who has been abroad since last
May. Mr.. Higgins had just completed
his course in the high school and inn
mediately enlisted last spring. The
Washington University hospital unit
has been attached to the British army.
His letter to Col. Higgins was, in
part, as follows:
well. dad. since 1 wrote you last, I
have spent three days in Paris, and it
is wonderful city of beauty, archi-
lecture and art. 1t reminds one of
gigantic worlds fair, and. from the
many peoples one sees there, worlds S
fair is not far from right.
