QUO VADIS, LABORI?
(By Charles Perry Taylor)

In a most delightful historical ro-
nance, one of the characters, meet
ing a friend upon a journey, having
in mind the great changes incident
to and consequent upon the advent
of Christ, propounded the inquiry,
Quo Vadis, Domini? or, whittier
goest thou?
So the toiling millions of earth,
emerging from age-long battles for
freedom, mindful of their long pri-
vatons, their Obscure origin, their
humiliating position in the family Of
mankind, may well, upon this Labor
Day anniversary that is but an
other milestone in its march to free
dom, greet themselves with this So
lictous cry, Quo Vadis, Labori? All
We who toll, whittier do We go?
We are taught in early childhood
that in six days Jehovah created the
heavens and the earth, and this
about six thousand years ago. Scien-
lists estimate the human family to
have lived on earth. 100000 years. or
more, probably 1OO,0OO,OOO years.
No matter which estimate we liter
ally accept, all agree the human race
has been, since its birth, passing
through a slow but certain evolu-
ton, a development from a lower
to higher civilization. Our re-
mote ancestors may have been ring
tailed monkeys swinging from trees
in jungles, but certain is our hope
and faith that our remote progeny
will be in truth but little lower than
the angels
Out of the ignorance of it's print
tive origin has labor struggled to
manhood. The oppressed of ages.
the beast of burden of tyranny in
human form. its back has been bent
with toll, its head bowed with sor-
row. Kings have ruled. princes have
and autocrats have plum
dered their fellow men, all because
the masses Of the people have been
too ignorant and too timid to throw
off the yoke of bondage.
But a new era dawns. Even as
Christ brought the first great, indy
ng hope to all men, even as He,
he Nazarene workman, taught man.
Kind to call none Master save the
Almighty, so have the toilers of
,afth, through twenty centuries of
painful progress, never lost sight Of
hat hope breathed in the prayer,
Thy will be done, on earth, as it is
n Heaven. And upon earth, here
and now, it is the hope, the prayer,
md the determination of Labor, that
-he Divine will, meaning thereby
Justice, shall be done.
Periodically earth's millions com
Pat one another with fire and sword
to carve the way to higher civiliza-
ton. Periodically whole nations or
races, enslaved by royal or autocratc
tyranny, lay down their lives by mil
ions to perpetuate that tyranny.
With their gaze droopingly fixed
lpon the earth-clods of servility,
hey give their poor lives to pre-
serve a wornout system which must
surely die.
But there is a brighter side to the
hield. Other millions. with keener
.ision. see the star Of hope for the
uture, see the brighter life posi-

 Her crew had faced the ordeal and emerged triumphant, adding to the last a feat of seamanship which saved the ship. Those who go down to the sea in ships for the express purpose of being torpedoed require no great power of imagination to foretell what lay ahead. Yet, when the time came for 8 fresh venture, for such veal or woe as 1t might hold, they sailed with light hearts and unafraid. They were under the command of the man who had brought them victorious through the ordeals that were past, and they loved him, these men of Devon and the west. with the love which "casteth out fear" As if for a pledge of that devotion he wore thenceforth, on the left breast of his ancient monkey-jacKet, the scrap of ribbon which it is the Kings pleasure men shall wear for valour.

She finally sank with her coming tower open and the crew pouring shrieking out of the hatchway.
 OIL AND BLOOD
 From the swirling vortex of oil and blood and air bubbles in which the ma- jority vanished, two dazed prisoners were rescued by the exultant panic party" in the boats, and brought back to the ship. Once on board, however, the imperious necessities of the moment overwhelmed even the elation of vic tory. Bulkheads were shored in all compartments still accessible, confiden- tial documents destroyed in anticipation of the worst, and then all but the com mander and a handful of men took to the boats and awaited succor. It came at noon in the guise of congulatory

 The ending, with the present year. of official supervision of the steel trade except as to embargoes, is a further important step in the direction of restor- ing conditions to a pre-war footing, and leading industries are each week becom- ing fresh from arbitrary regulations

BEHIND THE VEIL The Story of the "Q-BOats." II. Ordeal by Fire.
 Nv aBARTIMEUS1

Because man is mortal not infallible, and fortune at her brightest a fckle jade, it was Inevitable that sooner or later a day must come when crippled German submarine would submerge be- meath hail of shells, miraculouly sue ceed in patching up her damaged hull and under cover of darkness, crawl back to port Word would then go out from Wilhelmshaven of British man-of- war disguised as numbering tramp, with such and such a marking on her funnel with stumpy masts and rusty deck houses, who carried guns concealed in wheelhouse and hencoops, whose bull warks collapsed, and whose bridge screens masked quick firers and desper- ate men. To approach such vessel was to enter a death trap, unless every pre- caution was first taken to insure she had been abandoned There would be only one precaution open to a German submarine, who might in due course be expected to act accordingly. Such day in fact, came; misty, windless, with the aftermath of a great storm rolling east ward beneath a sullen swell. A vessel with the outward appearance of mer- chantman, the fruits of whose labors for the past six months had doubtless per- piexed that section of the Wilhefmshaven bureaucracy concerned with the non return of U-boats, sighted towards even Ing the periscope and coming tower of submarine a mile away on her beam.
 The figure on the bridge of the tramp, who carried, among other papers in hls charge, his commission a com mander of the royal navy, took his pipe out of his mouth and laughed, as Drake might have laughed when the sails of a Eah~-h galleon broke the horizon. A tangle of flags appeared at the peris- cope of the submarine, and the tramp stopped obediently, blowing off steam in great clouds. Her commander turned over the pages of the international sig
 nal code smiling still. Hoist: Cannot understand your signal,'" he said to the signalman, q want to waste few min- utes, and moved to the engine room voice-pipe. Obedient to his directions, the screws furtively logged ahead under cover of the escaping steam. edging the steamer towards the watching enemy.

at a range of half a mile, the shell pass ing over the funnel of the disguised man of-war.
 THE NEXT STEP
 In the tense excitement of that mo ment, when mems nerves and faculties were stretched like banjo strings. the re- port of the submarines gun rang loud through the still air. One of the man-of- wars gunlayers, lying concealed within
 his collapsible deckhouse, heard the re- port, and thinking that the ship herself had opened fire without the customary warning gongs, flung down the screens which masked his weapon. Any further attempt at concealznent was useless. The flre gongs rang furiously at every gun position, the white ensign was triced up to the masthead in the twinkling of an eye and the action started. After the first few hits the submarine lay motion less, with her bows submerged and her stern in the air for upwards of five min utes, while shells burst all about her. The heavy swell made shooting difficult, but eventually she sank in a great com motion of the water and dense clouds of vapor that hung over the surface for some minutes Two depth charges were dropped over her, and if ever men had cause for modest self-congratulation on l idNIuS IIQQcQ the seas Ol yet dIOlHeE scourge it would seem that the officers and crew of The Kings Ship might have laid claim to their share Yet, by ways unknown and incredible, it was claimed by the enemy that the submarine con trived to return, with shot holes plugged and her dishonored colors at half mast, to tell the tale.
 Future success in operations of this nature, therefore, depended no longer uopn a mere ruse. It was obvious that thenceforth the enemy would not rise to the surface until a torpedo had found it's mark; hence, although torpedo seen approaching can not infrequently be avoided, it became part of this grim game of bluff for the victim to ensure that she was hit. Then, when the panic party had abandpned the ship, it be- hove the remainder to wait concealed and unresponsive beside their hidden guns, While the submarine rose to the surface and either closed within range or sheled them with sufficient throughness to con- vince him-who judged endurance and self-control by no mean standards-that the limit of human courage had been reached; that there could be no one con- cealed on board and that he might with safety approach to loot and burn.

RUSHING MUNITIONS TO
 MEN AT FRONT

MANCHESTER England. Aug 12.-, Two days after the British began their big drive on the Somme a rush | order for 5000 shells was given one of the projectile factories in this dis trict. So prompt was the order exc cuted that the shells reached the British gunners in time to be used for smashing the enemys first counter attack This shows how closely the muni- tions plants are related to the front, and gives an idea of the remarkable degree of cooperation that exists be- | tween the shell-maker at home and the soldier in the field.
 The story of this districts achieve ments in the manufacture of muni- tions, illustrated by the actual opera tions. was unfolded recently to party of allied newspaper men. including q representative of the Associated Press. which inspected the factories under the guidance of officials of the ministry of munitions.
 The party saw a great industrial district, comprising the counties Of Westmoreland. Cumberland, Lanca. shire. the whole of North Wales and the Isle of Man. which had been con certed into a vast CO-ordinated plant 1 for the turning out of war material. 1 Everywhere was evidence of how the i factories. abruptly terminating their peace-time work. had cleared the deck for wartime action.
 It was in June. 1915. that David 1 Lloyd George. then minister of muni. tions. visited Manchester and told the manufacturers and business men that the country needed a huge supply of munitions, and need them at once At that moment the great demand not six months hence. but immeti- ately.
 The Manchester District Engineer ing Trades Employers Association called meeting at once. at which ron-federated firms also were repre- scented The chief question consd red was whether it was wiser to estab- 1 fish special plants for the manufac ture of shells or to utilize the re. sources for the work available. IT. was decided to follow the second plan. | as it assured quicker results.
 Textile manufacture is the principal industry of the Manchester district, and a' first it appeared that the ma Chinery used in the textile factories was entirely unsuited to munitions production. But by perseverance and contrived 10 adapt their machinery so we'll to the work that they are now the largest shell producers in the re zion. |
 At the beginning virtually only shells were turned out. but gradually . the field of manufacture was extended until now it covers. besides shells. air planes. motor transport vehicles. guns. trench mortars and projectiles. hand grenades and bombs. mines, subma- rine engines, steam engines and tur- pines. scientific instruments and gauges. and variety of other muui- tions. machinery and appliances used for warfare
 As an example of the concentrated energy now being employed in the Manchester district, it is pointed out that within a ten-mile radius of the Manchester city hall the 2.500.000 pop . ulation employs 1,OO0,0OO horsepower. Eighty per cent of th.s energy Is de voted to the manufacture of war mu nitions.

LANCASTER, Pa, June 22, 1913.
The packers who bought 1917 tobacco
are busy looking after it, rather anx-
iously, too, as more black rot is show
ing than is comfortable. Tobacco that
cost what last years crop cost will not
stand very much damage before biting
big hole in prospective profits, and
this is what the holders of these goods
fear. Rehandling the goods is expen-
sive work at the wages warehouse en-
ployees are paid now, an ordinary lab
orer getting as much as was formerly
paid to a foreman.
The reports coming in relative to the
new crop are of the most encouraging
character, for so far nothing has &C.
Cured to disturb the steady growth of
the young plants. Those put in the
latter part of May are wonderfully adj
vanced and will be ready for the knife
about the middle of August if nothing
interferes with their growth. Consid-
ering what splendid weather conditions
have prevailed since the May planting
was done, it is greatly to be regretted
ahat the whole crop was not planted
then, for the plants themselves were
ready.

Morning Exercises.

Calisthenics taken in the early morn
ing do much to keep up the general
health. Standing, warmly but loosely
clad, at an open window and inhaling
deep breaths of fresh air will stimulate
the blood quickly. This might be fol-
lowed with two or three easy exercises.
One might consist of doubling the fists,
placing them at the shoulders, and
then thrusting them out at arms length
swiftly. After that it would be well
to bend, trying to touch the floor with
+. the finger tips without bending the
knees. These calisthenics might be
concluded with final one of kneeling
and bending forward the floor from
the waist. The whole performance
need not take more than five minutes,
and will do more to make circulation
lively and muscles in good condition
than any amount Of medicine.
