cation of the Bulgarian army by road
and railway down the Vardar Valley is
going to be cut before the Bulgarian
units round the lower part Of the valley
near Lake Doiran could send support to
their colleagues further west. One Of
the features of the situation which
seems curious is the small numbers with
which the Bugarians appear to have
been holding he part of the front that
broke
The complete local success in the
breach of the line over twenty-five miles
and the very rapid advance beyond it
produced no more than 5000 prisoners
and 100 guns, and that looks as though
the Bulgarians are keeping considerable
reserves up in the country.

accomplished
In Palestine we have had another ex-
ample, but far more striking, of the eff
fects upon the army morale when the
country behind it is getting wabbly
about the prosecution of the war. There
can be no doubt at all that the collapse
of the Turkish defence stretched across
Palestine was the collapse Of forces not
properly supported by public opinion
and the government. And it is probable
that this collapse will in turn breed fur
ther trouble for those who still continue
the policy Of war in Constantinopre.
Merely to hang on as an ally Of Prus-
sia when you have nothing to gain by it,
when you are suffering continuous and
now severe defeats, is something that
those ruled by the present committee Of
Constantinople cannot submit-to. The
Young Turk government rule in terror
is desperately unpopular, and certainly
won't s1rvivee defeat

"It Is the irony Of ironies that this plant,
the largest hope Of the Shipping Board,
and, for that matter, Of the whole nation,
the ideal shipping plant of the world,
should from such cause be in this hour
of dire shipping need crippled. Here is a
problem for eager and militant America.
What will we do with it? We must have
the ships. We will have the ships. But
first, apparently, the government will have
to come to grips with the labor situation"
While the government is dealing
swiftly with the labor Stacker the War
Labor Board is going ahead with its
measures to give definition and exact

\ llenby's Success Has Been
"A Very Complete

Now the defeat the Turkish forces
have suffered in Palestine has been very
complete. Allenby seems to have had
in front Of him six divisions, two on the
far side Of the Jordan and four holding
the line between the Jordan and the sea.
1t further would seem that no consider
able reserves were present Immediately
behind the line. 1t is one of the curious
features in the situation that after the
victory in the rapid advance no shock
with the arriving of reserves took place.
Against these six divisions the plan
of the British General Command was to

future awards Of the board Already Il
is finding its way into the regulations OF
all great industrial establishments. Only
small part of labor, fortunately. has
exhibited selfshness in war work. and il
IS with this recognition that Justice
Clark says in his award:
"The employers have, as a rule, patri-
otically given full aid to the prosecution of
the war by placing> their splendid plants
and their highly skilled chiefs at the ser
vice OF the government. The employees, as
a rule, have also, with the same patriot
ism, yielded the eight limitation wher-
ever 1t has been necessary TO speed up pro-
duction for the government The former

latter have contributed an increase in the
hours of labor and vast numbers of men 70

beyond the necessity of the occasion"
The award has been accepted as a
working rule by the United States Steel
Corporation, and III the light of that ac
ceptance "The New York Evening Post"
comments in this fashion:

<<H\HERE are some people," de-
clares N. Juel Christensen in
"The Young Socialists Mag

The Young Socialists Mag
azine," who are continually
incoming about the golden age of labor
and those fine old Colonial times If
they were to stop to study the real cond
tions of labor during those times their
opinions and dreams would quickly
change. AS a matter Of fac. labor is
much better off to-day than it was then,
and very few workers would be willing
to go back to the conditions prevailing in
the American colonies shortly after their
settlement"
The writer interestingly presents ex-
amples of labor conditions in the slave
days. With the beginning of modern
industry, he continues
"camc also the need Of free workers. and
definite system of remuneration. Thus the
wage working class began to develop. There
were three kinds Of workers in those days:

wv patience and energy and will
ingness of labor, the war
falls fiat and the enemy has
his victory. Labor makes our victory;
without it there is no hope of it. Any
serious failure on the part of labor,
therefore, becomes serious obstacle to
the national development of fighting
abilities. The recent disturbance at
Bridgeport and the uncovering of labor
Stacking in the shipyards have found an
uneasy reaction in editorial columns,
where the danger is known and pointed
out. "The Philadelphia Public Ledger"
has this to say about the laborer who
fails to give all his labor to the nation
in war time:
The striker today, in this crisis, reveals
a degree of selfshness, a calousness to
honor and patriotism, that brands him as
Il Stacker and a traitor. This is not to say
that there are not employing profteers as
we'll as labor proiiteers, nor that the condi-
tions of labor are all that they should be.
But when the government has given such
unmstakable evidences of its sympathy
with the Just demands Of labor, disposi-
tion TO strain every point in its favor, labor
makes a pitiful response when it faunts
the agencies for peaceful industrial adjust
nent and seeks to clog the wheels of pro-
duction and thus jeopardizc the lives of the
men who, instead of labor's dollar an
hour arc offering their ali for dollar

The Kansas City Star" commends
the President for his firm message to the
Bridgeport strikers, a message which re-
suited in their return to their shops and
an effort to adjudicate their differences
through regularly constituted channels.

The only way in which war work can be
carried On without disorganization is
through the observing of contracts, with
arbitration for all disputes. The Bridge

4 Retirement Entailing
"A DISCRIMINATION

The pursuit was held up in the Valley
of Samarun. The enemy covered Nablus
for at least three days, and appears to
be covering it still at the moment of
writing. Consequently the retirement
of the Turks on the left will take place
up the main road from Jerusalem and
then on northeastward by the road
which passes the Jordan and fords that
river. 1t is true that such retirement
can only take place with the utmost dis
organization, and the saving of vehicles
and guns across the Jordan valley will
be for the most part impossible. But
half or more than half of the men may
be able to get away by this gate, which
remained open to the enemy. There
was moment when it seemed as though
the two divisions to the east of the Jor-
dan would be caught in a trap also, but
now it is too late for this to be a prob
able result.
The railway behind them has been
cut, but there is no considerable force
present to prevent their falling back
toward Damascus. One accidental fruit
of the victory must not be neglected.
and that is the fact that the wheat pro-
ducing district Of Hauran will hence
forward be in British hands. It will
help the problem of British supplies and
correspondingly embarrass the Turkish
supply, which long has been an increas-
ingly serious one for the enemy. Much
more important than any local results
and more worthy of our attention is the
effect of the victory as a whole upon the
position of the government at Constan-
tinople.

The Operations We Are WATCHING

as Military
Author of Elements of the Great War" and Most
Military
By HILAIRE BELLOC

TIME two chief military events this
week have both taken place in
minor subsidiary theatres of the
war, one in Macedonia and the
other in Palestine The first thing to
appreciate in regard to such operations
is their necessity. There has been great
deal Of criticism delivered against the
use Of troops in distant operations who
might, apparently, be more useful if con-
centrated on the Western front, where
alone the war can be decided and where,
in fact, it is being decided at this mo-
ment
This criticism certainly has been justi-
fed in the past, when considerable expe-
ditions have been launched, sometimes
with insufficient object and often with i'll
success. There was in the past school
which really believed the situation on the
Western front was deadlock and that
the war could be won by turning the
Central Empires by the east. 1t was an
error and productive of disastrous re-
suits. But the present situation is not
that at all. The troops operating in
Mesopotamia and Palestine are bodies
sufficient to do more than their task.
They are based upon neighboring coun-
tries, and largely recruit themselves from
the East.
New-York tribune., 1918-09-29
THE Military Aspect
Il of Things

The situation is as follows: The great
tangle of mountains of which Southern
Serbia is composed terminates above the
Macedonian Plain in long, rather regu-
lar, steep and wooded ridge, stretching
from the Vardar to the great bend of the
Cerna. 1t is range of mountains from
five to six thousand feet high and on the

FACE the FACTS

EFT us face the facts. The war situation is critical.
~ Unless the Allies fight as they never yet have
fought, defeat threatens. Hungry men cannot fight
at their best; nor hungry nations. France, England,
and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them.
Wheat Sayinss-They must have wheat. It is the
best food to fight on. It is the easiest to ship. We
alone can spare it to them. By saving just a little
less than a quarter of what we ate last year-we can
support those who are fighting our battles. And we
can do it without stinting ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of Plenty-Corn is that food. There's a
surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour of oar need. 1t has given us corn in such bounty
as was never known before. Tons of corn. Train
loads of corn. Five hundred million bushels over and
above our regular needs. All we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it. Was ever patriotic duty made
so easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Corn! It is the true American
food. The Indians, hardest of races, lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered a
continent. For a great section of our country it
has blong cen the staff of life. How we'll the South
fought on it, history tells. Now it can help America
win a world war.
Learn Something-Corn! It isn't one food. It's a
dozen. It's a cereal. It's a vegetable. It's a bread.
It's a dessert. It's nutritious; more food value in it,
vegetables. It's good to eat; how good you don't
know until you've had c%orn-bread properly cooked.
Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
COrn's Infinite Variety-How much do you know about
corn? About how good it is? About the many
delicious ways of cooking it? And what you miss
by not knowing more about it? Here are a few
There are at least fifty ways to use corn meal to
