PRISON LABOR IN THE WAR

The scheme to try out prison labor on war work is an excellent
idea, and credit must be given New Jersey for the prominent part she
has taken in perfectng a plan for the start. There are about 100000
men confined in the jals and penitentiaries of the country. Many
of these men are in the prime of life. Then, too, there are the young
men in the reformatorieS who are in confinement more because of the
wrong use they have made of their surplus energy than anything
else. There is no reason why all this man power should not be uil
lied in helping to whip the Hun.
While it is, perhaps, too much to expect that these prisoners will
take their stand beside honest soldiers periodically doing their duty
10 their country, there are plenty of was by which prison labor can
help and there is much satisfaction in knowing that Burdette G.
Lewis, New Jersey commissioner Of charities and corrections, has ad
vaneed a plan that has met with the approval OF the War Department
There IS the making of good citizens in thousands of men now
confined m our penal institutions and those men viii welcome an OPP

Peasants Have Several Small
Armies Well Equipped.
Reused by Restoration of Land
to Old Landlords.
GERMANS POURING IN TROOPS
Said To Have 100000 Men
There at Present Time.
This Diversion May Account for
Delay of Blow in France.
BY JOSEPH sHAPLEN.

Stockholm, July 1.-THE Ukraine
is in state of country wide revolu-
ton, according to dispatches received
here today.
The Germans are pouring in rein
forcements, which now have reached
a total of thirty-five divisions (420,-
600 men).
The peasants have several small
armies of 5000 to 10000 each, all
well armed with artillery and machine
guns. These are defending the viii
lagos and whole sections sf trenches.
The fight is not of political char
acter but is due chiefly to the surren-
der of land by the Germans back to
the landlords Homestead sections,
fifty versts, (3S miles) havebeen wiped
out completely.
This revolution in Ukraine. together
with the increasing power of the
CZech-Slovaks in the east, necessitat-
ing diversion of considerable Ger
man forces, may account in some
measure for delay in resumption of
the west front offensive
