Presidents Statement

"Industry plays as essential and honorable role in this great struggle as do our military ornaments. We all recognize the truth of this, but we must also see it's necessary im- piieations namely, that industry, doing a vital task for the nation, must receive the support and as sistanee of the nation"
 Therefore, solemnly urge all employers engaged in war work to refrain after August Ist, 1918, from recruiting unskilled labor in any manner except through this central agency. l urge labor to respond as loyally as heretofore to any calls issued by this agency for voluntary enlistment in essential industry. And 1 ask them both alike to re- member that no sacrifice will have been in vain, if we are able to prove beyond all question that the highest and best form of efficiency is the spontaneous cooperation of . fire people,"

 Skilled Labor Recruiting Regulated.
 While no prohibition against private recruiting of skilled workers is in inn mediate projection, there will be regu- lations, however, which will check the widespread advertising that has wrought such havoc in the labor mar ket and increased turnover and will ban labor Stealing" and "poaching." Although the common labor recruiting prohibition does not for the moment include the non-essential industries, recruiting by the non-essentials has had but little effect on the general situation. However, no non-essential industry will be permitted to interfere with any war industry or the labor market.

Someone has to take care of the big cats in the circus and so Bengal Bill" lion trainer and all around ami nal man, had to stay with the big top when the younger boys joined up with the tank regiment. "Treat 'em rough" appealed to Bengal Bill like yeast does to dough. It made him raise right up. But "56 years this August" put him out of the running. And then there is Rajah, the big Bengal cat. He has to be fed and groomed and cud- dled.
 But Bengal Bill didn't drop clean out. He took look at his roll of "back money" saved for many year with the greatest on earth" and said "I'm gonna give Rajah little pres ent just to make up for him and me not gitting our swipe at the church. bombing boches. Gosh, how I'd like to turn old Rajah and his temper onto them gents. He'd trim the kaiser up to suit me in about one minute. See them front fangs and that cute little curve on the jaw and them shoulder and Hanks? See 'em! One swipe and the Crown Prince would look like a hamburg steak, begging the steaks pardon. But they can't use Rajah ner me.

We'll buck them birds long range if we can't git our claws into 'em. Moneys just as good as guns, they say, and me and Rajah are gonna chip in our bit while the U. s.

 You can put your "treat lem rough" money in with Rajah's and Bengal Bills. They'll be glad if you do and you'll be proud if you do.

THE WAR, THE FARM

lied warfare, commerce under a neu-
trail flag was free from any hindrance
except the legal interference justified
by war. But the Germans not only
stopped merchant vessels, they sank
them. Sank them without warming,
without trace--the most deyIish
thing war has seen since the sayages
scalped our ancestors and threw
screaming babies into the flames of
burning cabins.
The German plan of sinking mer-
chant vessels without trace is based
on the murderers maxim that dead
men tell no tales" 1t was exc.

mitted themselves to small boats in
the open sea after their ships were
torpedoed, were merclessly raked
with gunfre, and eXterminated to the
last unprotected, unpitied soul These
are the murders that stain the hands
of the Kaiser, his advisers and min.
ions. These outrages were perpetrated
on neutral vessels when all that civ
ilized warfare gave the Germans a
right to do even with the merchant
vessel under a hostile flag, was to
stop it at sea and make it a prize of
war.
To kill the civilians on board, even
under hostile flag, was nothing but
unmitigated murder. And these muir
ders were committed IN order that we
might be enslaved Having the
right to take the sea with his fleet
but being afraid to do so for fear he
might lose it, and being unable by
fair means to stop the selling of our
products to his enemies, the Kaiser
declared that he would do it by the
foulest methods ever resorted to in
war. He declared the sea closed,
and that he would keep 1t closed, not
by war, but by murder.
To have submitted would have cost
us dear in prosperity but that would
have been the least of our loss.
We should have had to grovel be-
fore the German government.
We should have had to accept muir

could not defend ourselves.
We should have allowed this new
horror to become a part of all future

its incorporation into international

winning our freedom in our own

Such thought is intolerable. Peace

German oppression had begun to
pinch us before we entered the war.
If we had not declared war, but had
accepted the conditions of life ordered
for us by the Kaiser, we should today
be a poyerty-stricken people. Our

should have lost our souls.
