Against these conditions the workers had
very little means of protection. Their sur
roundings were Of an entirely local nature

THE Only Outlet From the
l. Balkans to the Egean

The forces in Macedonia are forces
holding what is essential to preserve
from the enemy the only outlet he would
have from the Balkans to the Egean at
Salonica. 1t was vital to the Allied in
tcrest to send an expeditionary force to
Salonica when they did, though now it
viii be seen that it has new and added
value. That value is political, and we
shall understand nothing of the three
eastern theatres at Mesopotamia, Pales-
tine and Macedonia unless we appreciate
how greatly the political situations have
changed since all three expeditions were
undertaken.
The two eXtraneOus allies of the Cen
trail Empires, Turkey and Bulgaria, were
each attached to the Prussan dominion
In Europe for reasons utterly dssociated
from the cause of Prussia, and each
again was moved by motives quite sepa-
rate from the other. Each was an enemy

The NEUROLOGICAL Golden Age of Labor

First, the slaves; second the free wage
worker; third, the contract laborer or bond
servant Contract work and wage
work were the most common in the North.
AS rule the contract workers were brought
over from England and partly from Ger
many. The contract provided that in con-
sideration of his passage to America the
'indentured servant should work for his
master for period Of years. In some yet
preserved contracts it is provided that a
servant girls yearly wage was to be f3 or
SIS, and free fare from England. Appren-
ticeship time at this period was seven
years, contract of a coopermaster provided
that after the seven years were up the ap-
prentice should receive two suits of clothes,
u gun, q sabre and 90 shillings (about So.
The servant girl received at the end of five
years. service goat with which to start her
life and liberty.
"Treatment of such servants was as a
rule, very bad and they were severely pun
ished for trifing offences. The courts Of
that day had offending workers exposed in
the stocks and gibbets and publicly
whipped, besides putting them into prison

advantage Of the masters to goad their
workers into some show of resentment that
would bring this punishment upon them So
in the year Of 1861 a worker was cited for
INSTRUMENTATION and in addition to other
punishment the court costs of ST los. were
assessed against him. The master paid
this and in return received the right to sell
the servant in Virginia, Barbados or any
other English settlement.
Runaway servants were brought back to
their masters, punished and could there
upon be sold to other masters. Workers of
all kinds did not count for much; sad in
deed was the lot of any one who for one rea-
son or another was thrown into jail. His
torians tell US that in those early days we
had more sympathy with fallen horse or
dog than with the poor unfortunate men
and women of that early date. Not only
were the runaway servants subject to jail
punishment, but free men also and for the
most triffing offences-merely to be in debt
was sufficient.
"These bond servants or contract workers
of colonial times can be divided into three
classes. First, the Redemptionists, or peo-
pie who had voluntarily accepted a working
contract to the effect that they would work
off their passage money by service for a
limited term of years. Second, persons who

His action will be approved by patriotic
Americans, employees as we'll as employers"
"The Minneapolis Journal writes in
much the same tone:
"Strikes in essential industries are intol-
cradle in time of war They threaten the
very power of the nation to win the W. of
existence in which it's every energy is en-
gagged. The rights of employers and en-

southern slopes this range is facing the
plain where the main Bulgarian defen-
sive position is drawn up. 1t was quite
as strong as anything in the west pre-
pared with the help of the Austrian and
German engineers over period of more
than two years.
This line was broken in a sector of
six miles, and the mountain positions be-
hind it were carried with such rapidity
that in thirty-six hours the gap was
already twenty-five miles broad and the
French and Serbians advancing through
it had reached the Cerna River and pro-
ceeded down its valley over twenty miles
Before the end of the week the main
Vardar line was reached and success ap-
reared complete.

iapse as a belligerent the French and
Serbian success is of great interest, but
as military operation proper it needs
more qualifications than the press as "a
rule has given it. The whole line across
Macedonia is something like 100 miles
in length as the crow flies, and if you
make a breach in such line Of not more
than twenty-five miles and penetrate
deeply through the breach while the
country is such that you cannot rapidly
move your fianks, then you are in danger
of forming pocket where you may
suffer disaster. 1t was on this account
that Immediately following the French
and Serbian success the British and the
Greeks attacked on the right of the line
by Lake Dorian. But this attack, un-
fortunately, did not meet with success.

inals, or those so called by their political
opponents at home. The first class had as
a rule, contract for certain number Of
years. After their time of service was over
the males became farmers or artisans and
the females married free men, AS to the
second class, let it be understood that kid
mapping was by no means unusual in those
days.
Passing on now to the free wage work
ers, what do we find? Their conditions
were not so very much in advance of the
others save in social status. If for no other
reason than to prevent the wage workers
from making too heavy demands the Pill
grim fathers extended their customary
severity well into the field of labor. We
find the Puritans regulating the mode Of
clothing, the cutting Of hair, entertainment
of guests, kinds Of pleasure, prices of COM
modities, and even the times, places and
conditions under which q man might kiss
his wife 1t is only to be expected that
they should regulate the amount of wages
workers could be paid and to fix penalties
for the violation of this law In the year
OF 1853 the General Court of Massachusetts
decided that carpenters, brcklayers, saw
mill workers, mill builders, etc, should not

OF the west. The Turkish Empire came
III SIMPLY because the Allied victory
would put an end to the Turkish possess
sion of Constantinople and the Straits.
while the Prussian victory promised the
retention of both.
The Prussian Empire was still in
existence and the allies had definite
compact to hand over to that empire con-
troll Of the entries to the Black Sea. Bull
garla came into the war as a govern
ment because it's scheming and rascally
monarch saw dynastic opportunity for
himself; but as nation it came in be-
cause of the profound wrong the Bull
garians felt they had suffered when Aus
tria, after the first Balkan war some
years ago, egged on Serbia and Greece
to occupy what is in the Bulgarians'
eyes national territory
The Bulgarians also desired to recover
what they regarded as national territory
taken from her in extreme need by Ru-
mania at the same time. AS long as the
cause of the Central Empires seemed

into by Turkey and Bulgaria, for rea-
sons which had nothing to do with the
main quarrel, was borne, though not
cheerfully; but now that the tide has
turned and Prussia cannot win the strain
is becoming intolerable Not only is
this so, but the various circumstances
which made each party enter the alliance
have changed, notably in the case of Tur-
key, for the Russian Empire no longer
exists.
The result is that in both Turkey and
Bulgaria the popular feeling against the
continuance of the war has become very
strong indeed. The operations we are
watching are quite as much political as
military and each of them further shakes
the rapidly waning adherence to the
enemy's cause which these two coun-
tries SO long maintained.
To return from these general political
considerations to the operations them
selves, we first note the apparent ease
with which the Bulgarian front is broken
by the French and Serbian attack this
week. 1t was the political condition in
Bulgaria probably which accounted for
this, but it was certainly something we
in the west hardly expected.
New-York tribune., 1918-09-29

ton in which two balanced elements,
good and bad, were present. The bad
element was the possible action of the
Bulgarians to the east, where now they
had STAYED off the British and the Greek
attack and were coming down on the
flank of the French and Serbians, who
had thrust so far forward in so short
time and had consequently imperilled
their hanks.
The good element was the possibility
that before any such Bulgarian reaction
the French and Serbians would reach
the Vardar Valley in force and cut the
railway upon which the Bulgarian front
at Lake Dorian depends. At the moment
of writing, a somewhat confused situa-
tion seems on the whole to suggest the
latter rather than the former.
1t looks as though the main communi-

heartened by the facts

engaged in essential war work would per-
nit themselves to be held up to public CEN
sure as these men have done. 1t is discour-
aging to know that we have men in the %in-
dustrial army Of Uncle Sam who will even
for moment forget their duty to society,
and particularly to their companions in
arms, and throw def into the teeth of a
government to which they owe allegiance
and which is bending its every energy to
provide for them and their families pleas

demanding that they be paid we'll for their
services.'

while his left was thus being held and
the menace of defeat appeared, there TO

easier ground of the open sea plain on

hills Of the Judean Highlands and the
Mediterranean were broken SO thor

ing at blow the equivalent to two divi-

patriotism until the exigences Of war have

"The Los Angeles Times" believes the
Presidential policy as expressed in the
order to "work or fight" is "already hav-
ing a good effect on the labor situation
throughout the country. 1t is strength
ening the loyalty of the vast majority of
war workers and augmenting their trust
in the fairness and frankness of the
common leader. At the same time it is
a plain notice given to the self-interest-
ed, whether they be profiteers in money
or material or the exploitation of labor

that America depends on in peace and in
war, will have no sympathy for the loaf
er, who, with yellow heart and spa
ghetti spine, has cut in two the produc-
tion Of ships at Hog Island" And "The
Sun" adds:
"Rea labor prides itself upon being con-
stituted of men who willing to work

programme; to work for the Welfare of the
men who are fighting and dying in France,
and who are getting a monthly salary

and have been making for two days Of
workless work"
The Tribune finds ground for belief
that the problem of Stacking in the ship
yards is still to be solved. 1t says edi-
torially:
