LAW MEANS MUCH TO NATION
Effect of Child Labor Legislation Will
Be Felt in Every Community in
the Country

The new federal child labor law will
cost money.
It should mean saving on the part of
ali people.
It should mean more taxes for more
schools and better schools.
1t should mean extended efforts in
communities where schools are not
operated on full time, where teachers
are not well paid nor schools well
equipped and where poverty necessi-
tates scholarships and other extrane-
Gus aid to the child. But this is ex-
actly the effect that was hoped for
when the law was advocated and
passed-to take the children out of the
factories and shops in the years when
they should be getting IA training
which viii fit them to be real pro-
ducers, and to put them into the
schools. If the schools are not ade-
quate, then they must be made better.
The very fact that they are not ade-
quate shows that the law was needed
in that community.
Our whole American standard of liv-
ing is based upon universal education
and universal opportunities. This law
should grade up to Il national stand
ard those comparatively few sections
of the country where Americans have
apparently forgotten American ideals.
1t sends the children back into the
schools, and it will surely create bet
ter schools where they are needed. For
there has seldom been a time or place
in this country whre the need for ade
quate educational facilities, clearly
pointed out, did not meet with an i'm
mediate response.

ton, Washington: George Creel. Chair

British shIpbuiIders Worried.

The North Of England Steamship as
ISOLATION is anxious about the present
and future shipbuilding position Of
Great Britain and has adopted a reso-
Tuition expressing deep concern over
the fact that large orders have been
placed with British shipbuiIders by
neutral owners at f25 per ton for de-
livery after the war. This was regard
ed as a serious menace to the mafi-
time supremacy Of the country The
amounts recovered for vessels lost
could not possibly be sufficient to re-
place tonnage at anything like such a
figure and the association called on
the government to take such steps as
would enable British owners torehabil-
itate the British mercantile uarine.

BY MADISON {. PETERS.

HERMANY and Austria have been
VI combined in waging a war against
justice. freedom. democracy and rights
Of mankind. Through this combina-
ton the blood Of millions has been
shed. which cries to high heaven for
vengeance. Though these powers are
combined the bond which uuites them
is not one Of brotherly love nor even
that of a common cause. There is 4
possibility that IL may be severed and
in its place be left a gap OF hate
which may never be bridged. There
has never been mutual good viii be-
tween the Hapsburgs and the HOhen-
zollerns- The former. on the con-
trary. have hated the latter and
looked upon them as upstarts
The Hapsburss are an ancient dyn-
asty dating back for centuries and eX-
ceedingly proud OF their record. while
the HohenzOilerns are scarcely more
than so years old
The Austrian royal family never
had respect for the Prussians; to the
