Paris, Once Athens, Now Sparta, Stops in

dents and girls, roadway q whirl Of
motors and cabs and taxis and stree,

man stirred by the prOudest sorrow
and an American with his hat Of,
while down the hill rolled q single b.
cycle, Its tiny lamp looming like q
confagratiOn in the all-shrouding
darkness Of wartime Paris at night.
We had walked all over The famous
Quarter, the Frenchman who knew II
like the palm Of his hand, and myself
who saw It thus for the first time.
The Paris of the boulevards, Of the
Rue de Ia Paix, the Bots, the Opera,
the Paris the tourist knows, was q
thousand miles and thousand years
away. In those narrow twisting
streets whose houses count their age
by centuries, lit by infrequent and
dark blue shaded lamps, It was sac
rilege to think Of taxicab or q derby

One looked for halbardiers and men
in leather jenkins. But one found no
men. Only up by the great mass Of
grey stone that was once the fore
most Jesuit college Of France were
there men-wounded soldiers in uni
form.
The other figures one met in those
dim streets, the voices one heard from
the gardens and courts and doorways
were the robust figures and the still
bright voices of the women Of
France, the working women of the
metropolis who have put their shoul-
der to the wheel, literally, and kept
the life of the great city going. We
talked with one who might have been
a duchess, so perfect were her man.

the Paris streets, the sister Of Victor
Hugo's Gavroche.
She had done everything from SELL
ing flowers to carrying coal on her
back q hundred pounds at time.
Her man was at the front, twice
wounded, but she was cheerful She,
too, told US Of the valor Of the Ameri-
cans, as she had heard it from her
mans friends.
And we went for a last smoke to
Sastaigne's own warm tinted, high
ceiled studio, his workshop and his
home. Both Of Us were silent. He

If it should be asked Of Columbia that

smile.
Both of us sure of this, tOo-that
after this war the ties that bind Am

and blood and steel and gold; yes, and
ties of spirit and mind. Never again

Union Grows Fast.

Chicago-Officers of the Amalga-
mated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen report that from 1900
names enrolled on their books on July
81, last year, the unions membership
has bounded to $4,000 on April 80
last. Eighty-six charters were issued
from July 81, 1917, to April 80, 1918.
With this remarkable gain in men,
bership is the establishment of the
eight-hour day in the packing in
dustry, which was secured by arbitra-
tion after thorough organization.
The butcher workmen express appre-
citation to Federal Judge Alschuler,
acting as arbitrator, Secretary of
Labor Wilson, Frank P Walsh, their
attorney, and the entire trade union
movement, for placing thousands of
workers in a position where they can
now develop themselves as American
citizens.

the central body. He told the dele
gates that he had visited several of

the officials. While some of them met
him and Organizer Smith cordially,
others used the Kaiser method and
were very bitter against the machin-
lists organization. He said that it will
not be long until the local machin-
lists union will pass the 1000 mark.
Conditions look bright for the machin-
lists in Hamilton he said, and if they
remain loyal to the organization they
will secure the rate of wages paid to
machinists in other cities where they
are in demand.
