All Show Their MettIe.

All Show Their Mettle.
To praise the National army does
not imply disparagement of any other
wing of our military force. The mill
tia group has already, in various
clashes with the enemy, shown the
stuff of which it is made. The 10th
regiment, which halls from Massachus-
etts, has been decorated by the French
government for its yalor under heavy
fire. All the men have made good, but
all they have done will unquestion-
ably be equaled by the excellent army
of draft men. The latter have the
physique, the initiative and the spirit.
AS one of them said, "We're not here
because we're here we're here because
it's where we belong and where we
want to be-" The training they re-
ceived in the United States worked
wonders in them.
In a little village a handsome young
ster in a private's uniform saluted
with the grace and snap of a trained
regular. He had the look of the sol
der In every line.
"Where are you from?" I asked.
He named a small city in the North
west.
"Were you ever a soldier beforeT'
mo, SIR he said, smiling, ST never
did anything before but spend fathers
money and get arrested for speeding"
"Are you glad to be here?"
81 wouldn't be anywhere else for
anything in the world"
Seated in front of q small house, a
wrinkled woman on n side, an aged
man on the other and two wee chill
dren playing on the ground in front of
him, / saw another young man who
would attract attention anywhere. As
the officer who accompanied me APP
preached the young man jumped to his
feet, snapped his heels together and
saluted as if militarism was in his
marrow. He said he came from a
small town in the middle West. 1
asked him about his affairs before he
Joined the army.
81 was in the lumber business" the
private ~reioined. 81 was getting along
pretty well-have a wife and two chill
dren about like these here (pointing
to the two les his feet), but even If /
knew my business was going to ruin I
wouldn't go back If they'd let me. I'm
here TO stick it ont to the finish and
you'll find all the boys the same way"
The spirit of all is, as this young
lumber dealer said, identical. The men
are here to fight for France and demo-
cracy. They understand exactly what
the issues are. They understand pre-
cisely why the United States came In
to the war and they will be disappoint-
ed If peace m before every allied
aim has been achieved.
Among the first ten thousand Ma
tional army men who came here to fill
in various units may be found men rep
resentative of every branch of citizen
ship. / saw mOtOrmen, farmers. bank
clerks, architects, lawyers, manufac-
turers, brokers, commission men. car
penters-in fact. everything. There
were men with suggestive of
every nationality in the world.
These particular soldiers are in
northeastern France, where they are
going through intensive training to
equip themselves for the front line.

Far off there was a slight movement
close to the ground. Two snipers were
watching.

GAVE BLOOD FOR BROTHER
TRANSMISSION in a Hospital in Chicago
Saves Man From Keokuk,
Iowa.

Fort Madison, Ia.-N. j. Bever, man
ager of the Fort Madison Produce and
Storage company, is home from the
Augustana hospital in Chicago, where
he gave up some of his blood in a
TRANSMISSION operation In order that
his brother, NJ. @. Bever of Keokuk,
might live.
The operation was successful and il
has been announced that the Keokuk
man will live, although it may be nee
essary to furnish him with a little ad-
dltional blood to aid his own. Other
members of the family have agreed to
furnish this If it is needed. Mr.. Bever
has been suffering for years with a
bad case of anaemia.
The local man declares he feels no
worse for his experience aside from a
soreness in his left arm, from which
member the TRANSMISSION vas made.

were Democrats and containing a
friendly suggestion for viii Fl.
Hays, Republican national chairman.
Talk about the vote Of the women and
the "patriotic vote' is all poppycock
in the estimation of Mr.. Bennett; the
four Dem ocrats were elected as a pro-
test on the part Of the voters against
the "repudiation of the direct primary

Mr.. Bennett likewise directed the
attention OF the national chairman to

"Mr. Hays can do nothing bctter

Alcohol Too Much
For Socialist Debaters
Eight Of Them, After Two
Hours, Agree Only That 1t

Eight young Socialist orators spent

"'child Of capitalism' and rejecting

But all agreed, anyway, that alcohol
was the child of capitalism. That was
the only decision reached at the end Of
a two hours debate. for there were no
judges and the disgruntled audience
was told chat it was only a practice de

performance was staged by Assembly

TideUater Boutnacn's
Leader Explains the
Workers Grievances
BY James Matthews,
business Agent, Tidewatcr Boatmen's
Union

business Agent, Tidewater Boatmen's
Union
Inc tiGcwater boatman is the man
who works thc bargcs and scows that
supply New York and Eastern points
with coal, ice, grain and other COM
modities. He has no ten-hour day, no
siXty-hour week. He is on duty twenty
four hours day in all sorts of wealth
er. works seven days to the week and
365 days to the year.
For this he receives as low as S35 a
month, feeds himself, and if he has
family of children Of school age does
his best to bring them up deccntly. If
he Is lucky he gets as high as $50
month. {. comparatively few $40, which
submit, is rot enough 20 enable a man
to live properly and bring up a family
IL anything like decent surroundings
The fact is that those Of the men who
have children of school age have to be
aided by the labor of the wife in order
to make both ends meet.
The men have no voice in saying
when they will put out to sea. Time
and again, over their protest of ap-
preaching storm tug captains have in
sisted on showing off, trusting to luck
to make port before the storm breaks.
: Time and again this has meant the loss
Of barges and all on board.
Here in New York VIC have. roughly,
900 members. This last winter we
had thirty members drowned. One Of
the men drowned was Captain john
Fox. His body washed ashore with the
bodies OF his two children clasped in
his arms.
1t is not uncommon for the boat own
ers employing men lost in this way to
even refuse to pay their funeral cX-
penses. Some even go So far as to fail
to report men dropped overheard
Another thing these boats are sup
posed to carry ifcboats, lifebelts and
anchors, with sufficient chain to en-
able the crew 20 meet an emergency.
Often there arc few, if any, lifebelts.
the boats are sicves and could not live
in any sea. and as like as 1ot the an
chor and chain are not in shane to be
used
To improve these conditions the mon
year ago began arguing for a higher
wage: In October they presented de-
mands for 500 a month and 81 night
for every night they were compelled to
handle cargo or do work when the boat
was at pier or wharf. The owners re-
fused. and it was voted to strike. The
case was finally referred to the local
Federal Mediation Board, headed by
Captain Baker.
The board gave us $40 month, but
overlooked our demand for nav for
night work in port. Since then we
have been waiting to get the pay
awarded. 1t has not been paid by n
large proportion OF the boat owners.
though it is only fair to say that the
owners of most coal boats have been
paying the $40.
There is no question of patriotism
on the part of the mon. They have
been 100 per cent patriotic, but thev
now insist that boat owners who, un
der the guisc of patriotism have been
sweating them and piling up profits.
/ give them something like an even
break.

Citizens Union Hits
Primary Repeal Bill
1t Will Urge That the Present

terday that it would send representa-
tives to Albany on Wednesday to op-
rose the bill pending before the Senate
Primary Law Committee providing for
q return 10 the convention system of
nominating candidates for state Offices
and Supreme Court judgeships. The
union will urge adoption of the Muir

mary law.
Albert S. Bard, chairman of the
UNIONS election law committee, charac-

fortunate mistake." but insists that it
Shon'd nor constitute an excuse for a
return to the old convention system of
Lolnlnatlons.
IN recommending the Murphy Snyder
bill to the Legislature the union says
The present law proceeds upon the
erroneous assumption that with every
one (Which frequently becomes no onc)
responsible good nominations will be
forthcoming. The law continued the
party committees. but gave them no
power or responsibility as to nomina-
tions.
"The MurphySnyder bill is based
upon the principle that responsibility
should be centred and attention TO-
cussed upon the action of elected party
leaders. If their selections of cand-
dates arc satisfactory to enrolled party
members there will be no contest; if
they abuse their power or ignore popu-
lar sentiment ample opportunity is
afforded for their Reputation.
