Gives Life for Private
Lieut.. Col. Pike Fights On

With the American Army in
Francc.-Wounded in the arm in
the battle for Wanderers, Lieut. Col.
Emory ]. Pike of Des Moines, uiv-
isional machine gun officer, insisted
upon remaining in command on the
field, and did so until morta!ly
wounded by a shell several hours
later. This was on September Is.
The officer died the next day and
was buried in a French cemetery
near by.
Officers say that Lieut.-Col. Pike
consolidated the machine gun posi-
tions when the situation became ser
ious for the Americans, making poss-
ible the capture of Wanderers with
out serious losses to his own forces.
Lieut.-Col. Pike, who was a West
Pointer, received his mortal wound
on Hill 427 when assisting a wound
cd private to place of safety. Af-
ter his first wound he not only con-
tinued to command, but wrote
messages for regimental headquar-
ters relating the progress of the
battle.

Urges War Labor
For All Convicts

DECENTRALIZATION labor as a
factor in winning the war is being
urged by Warden John Francis of
the Western Penitentiary, who is a
recognized authority on the manage
ment of penal institutions and re-
claiming recreant manhood. Mr..
Francis has taken up the subject
with the Chamber of Commerce of
Pittsburgh, which body has called
upon Congress to enact legislation
which will permit $4,000 inmates of
prisons in the country to engage in
war work.
According to the views of Mr..
Francis the criminal is a patriot ac-
cording to his lights. He will be
glad to help to win the war if al
lowed to do so. State laws passed
to fit peace conditions prevent this.
He holds that it should be possible
to suspend these laws for war pur-
poses during the continuance of the
war by act of Congress. That it
has not been done Mr.. Francis thinks
is due to an oversight rather than
to the determination of anybody to
refuse to make use of the resources
of the prisoners labor.
Mr.. Francis expressed a firm be-
lief in the patriotism of labor and
does not think it will oppose the use
of prison labor in making supplies
under present conditions
II am in possession of data which
shows that per cent. of the prison
labor of the country. engaged on the
manufacture of socks, will turn out
100000 dozens of pairs in, a years
time" Mr.. Francis recites. 1--WE
should have had twice that many
socks ready to send to our soldiers
in France to keep them from freez-
ing during the coming winter. We
could have had them if this proper
ton of our prisoners had been al
lowed to work on them.
What is true of socks is true of
other supplies. There are buildings
and machinery available to turn out
immense quantities of supplies and
they are not being used. Th ere
are $4,000 persons rotting in idle
ness in prison cells in this country
because they have no employment
They are degenerating morally,
mentally and physically, while their
country and the people of Europe
need the work they would be slad
to give. Something should be done
to change this condition of things"

PEACOCK THRONE
COST $2O,OOO,OOO
Chair Was of Solid Gold, Pro-
fusely Studded With
Gems

London.-The throne of Russia
was, and is-for, although it stands
empty, it has not been injured or
dismantled-a wide chair, placed
upon a dais approached by several
steps, and at the end of an enormous
hall of costly marbles. Four pillars
with huge carved bears paws for
feet. support an ornate canopy above
1t. The chair itself is of gold, ivory
and precious woods, ablaze with in
set jewels 1t is upholstered with
ermine.
OF almost equal splcndor is the
throne 'of the Kaiser in Berlin. 1t
is massively built of costly woods
much carved, and is said to have cost
10000 pounds. The arms are in
part of solid gold set with emeralds.
It's very high back is adorned with
the imperial coat f-arms, in gold,
and the Kaiser, when he occupies it,
sits beneath canopy of cloth of
gold, with one foot resting upon a
cushioned stool covered with the
same material.
Great Britain preserves a taste for
splendor on state occasions. but the
throne of King George, in the House
of Lords, is built fundamentally of
material chosen for sentiment rather
than for magnificence. 1t is of Brit
ish oak adorned with ivory, golC
and silver, and is draped with price
less tapestry. On the back of this
chair of state are the emblematic
lion and unicorn, carved and gilded.
The arms of the throne terminate in
pair of lions heads of gold with
ope-- jaws.
Presumably, however, there will
never be a throne to compare with
that of the Mogul emperors of
Hindustan. The famous peacock
throne" at Delhi cost at least 1000.

the employe having hidden his pay

600 pounds-possibly twice that
sum. Behind 1t stood two life-sized
peacocks, enameled with rubies,
sapphires, emeralds and other prec-
ious stones of colors appropriate to
represent the birds in life.
The chair was of solid gold pro-
fusely studded with gems and sur
mounted by a canopy upheld by
twelve golden pillars. On either side
was an umbrella Can Oriental SYM
Dol of sovereignty of crimson vel
vet. embroidered and fringed with
pearls. 1t was carried off to Te-

Persian conquerer, after the sack of
Delhi, and was eventually broken
up.
