It was just another day in the fac
tory. There was nothing prophetic in
the hum Of the machines; It was quite
the everyday hum. The workmen
talked loudly to be heard; they always
talked while they worked; they liked
the sound Of their own voices. It mat
tered not much what they said-the
same Joke will do day after day in a
factory; an old one is almost as good
a. . new one to break the mental
monotony. When ones habitual activ-
ity Is with ones fingers one isn't very
critical Of mental efforts.
Still. were you to ask them, any Of
the men would have said they pre-
ferred an argument to all other kinds
OF brain exercise. Argument is what
they would have called any of the YER
bal volleys they fred back and forth
at one another from their inexpert
mental batteries, while their expert
fingers moved ceaselessly at their
tasks. And nowadays there Is always
enough to argue about-the warl The
only trouble-though no one really
seemed to mind that-was that there
was no one around to uphold the gov
eminent In these controversies.
OF the hundred men employed-for

enc with an American-born parent.
though a considerable number were
themselves born in America. The one
hundred were all here by choice. how
ever. and hardly one ever really ex-
pected to live anywhere else. But they
talked Is though they might; and one
could imagine they expected the Unit
ed States to Immediately offer them
inducements to stay when It heard Of
their intended leaving.
They Discuss Liberty Bonds.

In this country some day and the gov
eminent deserves all that Ii coming to

everything II can to keep the good will
Of the people. Why-beer-" Charles

The machines hummei on. the voices
