Chaos at Present
Halts War Work
Workers, Lured From Plant

Shifting
By Theodore M. knappen


W. ASHINGTON, July 31.-There
w are no "wops" any more, To-
morrow the untold millions
OF unskilled men who, during two gen.
eratons of feverish Industrial expan-
sion and swarming immigration have
been exploited, crushed and warped
and regarded as mere animate material
that was cheaper and more plentiful
than the inanimate, become the spe-
cial care of the United States govern
ment. The friendless and unorganized,
the unfortunates who have been
trampled upon by both organized labor
and capital, whose lot has grown worse
as the others have prospered, have
come into their reward and their re-
demption.
Tomorrow, August I, the unskilled
laborer. the real man with the hoe, be-
comes the special concern of the gov
ernment. The United States through
the brand new machine of the National
Employment Service of the Depart
ment of Labor becomes the patron and
guardian of the unskilled. The harpies
in the form Of private employment
agencies that have preyed upon, ex-
plotted, demoralized and embittered
him, are ousted and henceforth with
out fee or expense and with due re-
gard for his own interests, those of
his community and of the nation at
large. he is to be treated rs national
asset Of supreme Importance. Be
come by force of circumstances an out
standing figure in the industrial side
Of the war, he is now to receive the
honors and the attention that are his
due.

Lack of Shipping Space and
War Industries Needs Re-
suit in Curtailment
Suggests Victory Tube
Manufacturers Also Recon-.
mend Restrictions ON Several
Luxury Products"

Because of the great need of con-
serving shipping space and meeting
the requirements of essential war in
dustries, the government yesterday
made a further decrease in the amount
of crude rubber TO be permitted manu-
facturers of pneumatic automobile
tires and tubes.
Frederick B. Peterson, director of
the bureau of imports of the War
Trade Board, announced to 400 mem
hers of the rubber industry of the
country, meeting at the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel yesterday, that the gov
ernment had determined to make the
next ALLEGATION for sixty days instead
OF the present three-month schedule,
and that after the require mentS of the
United States and the Allies have been
met IN full the manufacturers will be
allowed for August and September
three ighths of one-sixth of their
consumption last year
For the months of May, June and
July of this year each manufacturer
was permitted one-quarter of seven
sixteenths of the amount of crude
rubber which he received through out
last year.
Only Slight Change
Though the change is very slight"
said Mr.. Peterson, "the difference was
proven necessary in the light of ex-
perience of the past three months. The
government has made increased de-
mands, and allotments had to be ac-
corded to manufacturers who received
no rubber or only partial amounts in
1917. These ALLEGATIONS are based on
the amount expected from the Far
East and from Central and South
America. | wish to say that it is the
desire of the government, because of
tonnage and other considerations, that
the available amount of South Ameri-
can rubber be taken by you
The ALLEGATIONS for August and Sep
tember, explained Mr. Peterson, were
made on the basis of 100000 tons per
year with the present maximum prices
also to remain in effect.
Members of the organization de-
clared yesterday that if these restric-
tions are continued for any length Of
time serious situation will arise
which will handicap the government in
securing some of its most important
supplies to meet the urgent war de-
mands. They stated that because of
the increased demand for rubber ar
tlcles due TO war activities the 100000
tons now permitted are inadequate, and
recommended a tentative Importation
at the rate Of 100000 tons a year.
1t was contended by various manu-
facturcrs that the new ruling viii prac-
tically wipe out many of the new and
small factories, where there was little
or no production at the corresponding
periods last year.
Recommendations AIopted
A resolution was finally adopted by
the rubber industry wherein the war
service committee of the association
was instructed to appeal to the gov
that the output on tires for August and
September be restricted to 80 per cent

SOLDIERS BEING TRAINED TO BE
 DIAMOND CUTTERS

Brighton, Eng, June 15-Soldiers who have lest a leg but whose hands and sight are perfect are learning diamond cutting and polishing in this Atlantic City of England. They are employed almost exclusively in an industry new to England and ex- pect before the war is over to com pete on a favorable basis with the more highly skilled diamond cutters of Amsterdam and Antwerp, where in pre-war days there was a monopoly of the business. Two large, mod ern, four story buildings are beHng pur up which when completed will em- ploy 1900 discharged soldiers.
 Only ex-soldiers with unimpaired eyesight and perfect control of their fingers are taken because everything depends on a mans accuracy of vision and control of his hands.
 First the men pass through a train- ing school. When a man is first ad- mitted he is put to work on marbles such as he played with when a boy He cuts up and polishes the marbles as he will later do with the real stones. The marbles are first sawn in half, and then ground into shape on a steel disc. This serves to give him some idea of the finished shape ot the real diamond, but it is impossible to get the face even approximately correct, owing to the softness of the marble.
 Instead of cutting the 5S facets or surfaces found on the finished brilliant, the men cut six planes or the marble, and afterward grind the base roughly into the shape of the collet or neck. When a man does thi! skillfully he is given a small dia. mond to cut, and it is a great day ir a man's training when this stage arrives. The feeling that he has z stone worth from $10O to s25O in hi possession to cut and polish give! him sense of responsibility.
 While undergoing training the mel receive no wages, but they receive government allowance of about s7 ; week. After they have advanced ia enough to be entrusted with dia mond they are put on wage basis O from $1O to $20 a week, dependin. on their ability. Their training us ually occupies a period of from thre, to six months.

 APPARENTLY IS WILHELM'S LAST

This is the thirtieth anniversary of the accession to the throne of the man whom the civilized world is fighting today, Kaiser Wilhelm II. It was on June IS, 1888, tLat his fathery En- peror Frederick, succumbed to the illness with which he had been af- flicted throughout his brief reign of three months. Wilhelm, then in his thirtieth year, immediately assumed imperial powers and prerogative. As was to be expected, his first official proclamation as Emperor of Germany was addressed to the army and navy and he has been proclaiming to it and about it ever since. His first address to the German people, as well as his inaugural speech at the Reichstag, showed the new ruler to be obsessed with the notion that kings are kings by divine right, and he left no doubt i in the minds of any that he proposed to rule as he saw fit. He proclaimed the supreme guardian of law and order" and declared himself to be Crowned by God and owing allegi- rance O1lIy to Ln6N ND6lIy.
 No other modern European ruler ever interfered so constantly in all ad- ministrative affairs and in regulating the social and. religious life of the public as the Kaiser Active and restless, the young monarch immedi- ately began putting his finger in every | pie, and he soon found himself at odds with Bismarck, the veteran chan cellor who had so long been ruler The Iron Chancellor refused to play second fiddle. The Kaiser's father and grandfather had subjected them selves to "Gott und Bismarck" but | Wilhelm decided that Gott was enough for him, as far as bosses were concerned, and Bismarck had to quit l Wilhelm has tolerated only chan cellors who were subservient and who were firm believers in the divine rights theory. The world has always looked upon him and his imperial antics with tolerance, only to find out that it's indulgence was to bring it tc the verge of destruction.
 If the Kaiser has any brains-and nobody denies that he has them-he must realize that his days are mum bered. The Allies and the United States have set out to destroy him and the thing he represents. Liberty cannot endure by the side of auto
 cracy, and in the struggle for the elimination of one or the other, Lib. erty, as represented by the United
 States, France, England, Italy and the
 other nations fighting by their side
 will win and insure for future genera.
 tions the freedom, peace and tran.
 quility which civilized nations have
 been struggling for centuries to brinE
 about.
 This anniversary of Wilhelm's ac cession to the throne looks like tht last. Let us hope it is.

EMPEROR WILLIAM WENT UNDER FIRE IN RECENT FIGHT
Beckoned the Men in Field Gray Near Him to His Car
 Told of Hun Success.

Amsterdam. June 15-Emperor William went into regions under fire during the recent fighting on the French front, according to Karl Ros- ner the emperor's favorite correspon- dent, who accompanies him on his tours.
 The correspondents article, a long one, dated May 25 on the battle field of the Aisne, is printed in the Ber- lin Lokal AnZieger. It records the emperor's explanation of the battle to his suite. The emperor, stand ing before map of the fighting area says Rosner addressed his hearers thus:
 ''In 1914, during the battle of Sois- sons, I was here Cat the Laffaux cor ner on the Aisne front.) What heavy trials have since been imposed upon us Germans! But that is now al, behind us. We are now swinging on to final victory"
 The correspondent describes the tunbounded astonishment" of a mum Der of French prisoners on seeing that the emperor had actually ven- tured under fire.
 On his return to the battle front continues the article, the emperor beckoned them tu in field gray near him to his car and gave them a graph kc description of the German sue. | Icesses.
 ''Tell it to your comrades said the emperor in conclusion. '"Tell then that they, too, may rejoice Tel them also that I have told you-I, ir the midst of the fighting" What eyes they will make in Par is; your majesty" said one of tht listeners, carried away by the em peror's description, Rosner adds.
 Yes" replied the emperor, "yo, would like to see those eyes" l A further suggestion from the sam, listener that the Germans would ge where they could see those eyes" eli cited no reply.
