CONNECTING "CHRISTIAN
PACIFISTS."

Cincinnati TimeS-Star: A Los An
geles jury. composed of nine women and
three men, found three "Christian paci-
fists" guilty of "holding an unlawful
assembly and failing to dispense at the
order of the police 1t required the jury
three hours to reach verdict, but the
delay was due to the desire of the wom-
en- to talk about the case, and to the cir.
CumstanCeS that some of the nine We're
sufficiently good looking for the gentle
men to be willing to make it an after
noon"
But the Los Angeles verdict must not
be regarded as revealing absolutely the
ability of the women to serve fairly and
with a strict sense of justice as jurors.
First because there was no real test in
the Los Angeles trial; and second be
cause any such attributiOn would make
them far better jurors than men have
proved to he Women are not pacifists.
Indeed, they are more inclined to be
belligerent i'm a political or national
sense. Their verdict against the so.
called "Christian pacifists" was one of
contempt. They have little use for men
who will not fight for their country as
they have for women who will not help
men fight for their country.
The test is to come later. and prob
ably will be this wise. \ superlatively
handsome young man will have a
beautiful wife who insists on lithely
tangoing and smoking cigarets. They
separate. He is to have the child six
months, she is to have it six months.
She will keep the child bit over time
whereupon the husband, who is a
Chilean, will go to her home, shoot her
in the back, and then surrender him
self to the police. If twelve women sit
as jurors at the trial of this victim
of a self.imposed case of widowerhood
what will be the verdict?
You are entitled to your guess. Per.
haps after calling the victim cat
and clubbing the murderer as Just too
lovely for anything" the ladies as mat
ter of reciprocity and more or less hu
man nature will bring in verdict OF
mot guilty" And then it may be they
will disperse for a little tangoing, and
perhaps, light a cigaret or two on the
way, Just to ease their nerves

GO SINGING TO GLORY.

Emporia kanJ Gazette: Probably no
effort of the many men and women
who are working for the men in the
soldier camps will contribute more to
the content and enjoyment of the men
than the musicians who are organizing
in the camps great choruses. Probably
no agency in the war will outranll
music and organized music in keeping
the men happy, Of causing them to for.
get fatigue and depression.
Trained leaders, who have conducted
community choruses in many of the
large cities. are working in many camps.
They are giving their time freely, and
the war department is giving them fun
authority to organize the men of the
camps into great choral societies.
Real inspiration will come out of the
organized singing II has indicated that
it will be bare" singing is, with.
prison camps and particularly among
the German prisoners, the men have or
gani2ed and have been so carefully
trained that without Instrumentation
the choruses produce it would seem
almost all of the effects and Shadings
of great orchestra,
Singing should have place in the
training camps. I'm the army camps
are 50 many men who can sing, and
who have had vocal training that the
choruses should be one of the greatest
influences and one of the happy mem
ories of the soldiers army life.

by many of her labor groups early in
the war. But Sir Christopher Kent an
expert on British labor problems, says:
If Great Britain had one-eight of the
troubles which the United States has
had since the commencement OF the war
in April we would have been compelled
to conclude a disgracefu peace with
Germany long ago"
Under modern conditions, he adds, no
nation can carry on war successfully
unless there is industrial peace. That
is seh-evident. And somehow or other,
we must insure such peace
Workmen are fatty accused of labor
profiteering' Possibly that charge is
not quite fair The wages they have
demanded may be necessary and just, in
view of present conditions But it is
not necessary or just that they should
prejudice the highest interests Of the
country by striking on slight provoca-
ton. If their claims are right there
are other and better ways of having
them considered
Another evil generally complained of
in our war industries is that workmen
leave their Jobs and drift about too
freely. This creates an artificial short
age of labor and seriously handicaps
many important enterprises
Soldiers do not strike for higher pay,
leave their posts and drift around from

NATIONAL FACTS AND FIGURES

United States last year sent 2l5,2SS,-
1873 pounds of raw cotton, valued at
s27,715,555 to Japan.
Electrfication of steam railroads in
the United States last year brought the
total of such equipment up to about
$500 miles.
The United States is reported as hav-
ing placed additional orders for 4,S00
narrowgauge cars for the use Of the
forces oversea.
Ambulance and escort wagons for an
expenditure of $10,6O0,000, according to
the recently published urgent deficiency
estimates.
Almost $500, 900 pounds of meats and
meat products were exported from the
United States in the first three years
OF the war Almost 1000, 100000 pounds
We're exported during the fiscal year of
1917.
Total value of the mineral production
Of the country in 1916 was more than
S3,47O,OOO,OOO, increasing $1,O76,2 100000
or 45 per cent over the $2,393 500, 900
recorded for 1915, and exceeding the
former record year 1919 by more than
81 900 O,OO0,OO0.
If the food administration in this
country is successful in its effort to
get the pledges of 22OOOO00 homes to
economize in kitchen and dining room
it will mean that the United States will
be able to export all the wheat, meat
fats and sugar to it's allies in Europe
and to enable them to maintain their
fighting strength.

DRAFTING LABOR,

There is serious talk at Washington
of conscripting labor for war work, par
ticuarly for the construction of our
new merchant fleet Several senators
are known to favor action by congress
corresponding to the conscription of
men for the army, With the experience
of the first eight months of the war to
Judge by, they say, the country cannot
safely leave so vital matter to the
voluntary patriotism of labor
1t has been testified, in the Sh!noiu"
inquiry, that out of l06 shipbuilding
plants no less than thirty have had TO
shut down, for varying periods, because
of strikes since we entered the war.
That has meant a loss 100000 working
days equivalent to the labor of 10000
men for month. The unfortunate eff.
feet of such a loss at this time when the
production of ships is so imperative, is
apparent to every one,
We used to point the finger at Great
Britain for the "disloyal' spirit shown

CUTTING THE RED TAPE.

Secretary Redneld recently addressed
tLi5 eXhortation 10 all the bureau heads
ig his department:
Forget how things were done before
the war. Eliminate red tape. We
must learn with the Germans that the
war won't wait Delay is the kaiser's
ally"
The president is said to have been
so well impressed with this sensible adj
vice that he has ordered it made the
rule Of action in every branch of the
governments war business.
Judging from recent revelations it's
high time that somebody jerked out an
Alexandrian sword and cut the Gordian
knots Of red tape in various govern
ment departments. The bureaucratic
system that has grown up in Washing
ton in the course of a century may be
tolerabe in normal times, but it be-
comes an intolerable handicap when the
government is trying to get all the
nations energies into play for the win
ming of great war.
There should be less formality. less
duplication Of effort less deliberateness
ana delay IN every administrative ue-
partment. When army supplies are
imperatively needed, they should be
bought promptly in the nearest market,
regardless Of established procedure.
When materials are needed for ships
or munition factories they should be
rushed, instead of awaiting the routine
leisure of some clerk or chief Govern
,uaDt huSiness ShOuld he run now if
ever, on the same principles of push,
enterprise and effectiveness that char
"cterze private business.

KNITTING TEMPERANCE.

The new disease which was to be eN-
pected has made its appearance. 1t is
called "knitters nerves" Many women
who were not used to any such close
work started out bravely to knit their
bit, and in characteristic American
fashion Immediately began to overdo
Now their eyes are twitching and their
fingers are cramped and they are in Il
bad way generally with their whole
nervous systems. Complete rest has
been ordered by physicians
Isn't it about time that people learned
that temperance is not only virtue
but a necessity?
Here's a little example in arithmetic,
Given woman who can put in two
hours day knitting on top of her
regular duties without undue fatigue.
This woman insists upon doing an hour
a day beyond her normal fatigue point
for three weeks. The result is that
she reaches such a state of nervous
exhaustion that she must cease all
knitting for six weeks following. Had
she worked normally and comfortably
for the nine weeks she would have put
in altogether l0S hours of work Be
cause she worked the extra hour for
those three weeks she accomplished
altogether fifty-four hours.
That is to say, she paid for her in
temperance by doing only half the
amount of knitting and also had to
lose out on some of her regular occu-
pations during the six weeks of re-
covery.
The more knitting a woman can do
comfortably, the better. The more wom-
en- who knit, the better. But knitting,
like everything else in war or peace,
needs to be mixed with sense and self
control

Afternoon Tea.

London Chronicle: What is Afternoon
tea? In the food controllers regula-
tions no provision is made for sup.
ply of sugar for teas in the afternoon
in factories and business houses, and
the Midland food commissioner has
asked for an official ruling on the point.
Lord Rhondda replies that employees
who require cup Of tea in the after.
noon must bring their own sugar from
home. 1t is urged, however that in
a large number of factories and busi-
ness houses in the Midlands where gir.
employees work for long hours tea in
the afternoon is practical necessity.
They intend therefore to have another
word with Lord Rhondda.
