board shie, but this did not prevent
him from continuing the engagement.
The German kept trying to creep out
on the steamers port side. but the
master checkmated him each time and
continued to keep him dead astern.
When the sun began to set the Ger
man tried to maneuver SO that the
steamers gunners would have to hre
into the eye of the sun. But the
master prevented him from getting the
benefit of such position until the
sun was obscured by clouds.
Throughout the engagement, when
lasted six hours. the German managed
to score only one hit. This shell
broke the steamers deck surface pipe,
punched hole through the boat
swain's and carpenters room without
touching two men who were there'
finally exploding in the second COOKS
room, which II wrecked. Apart from
this the steamer suffered no damage.
The last shell fred by the steamer
appeared to explode In the U-boat's
bow. whereupon the enemy turned
away and abandoned the action.
The masters opinion of his crew ID
expressed I'm the following words:
Specially Praises Engineers STAR.
"They all behaved splendidly and
carried out their various duties coolly
and with a will to save the ship. The
careful and deliberate shooting UNI

and his staff, working in ignorance

for getting thirteen and an eighth

boz should he unwisely and unneces-
sarily broken down"
This sentence sounds the keynote
OF the industrial policy of the two
great divisions of the United States
army-today placing numberless con-
tracts of fabulous size and value
the ordnance department and the
quartermaster's department. In Gen
eral Orders No. 49," from which this
sentence is quoted, issued not long ago
by the ordnance department and later
adopted by the quartermaster general,
ure set forth in some detail the prin-
ciples of this policy, and in no uncer-
tain words the reason for its existence.
1T is a fair assumption" ii goes on
to say, that for the most part these
safeguards are the mechanisms of eff
ficiency. Industrial history proves that
reasonable hours. fair working condi-
lions, and proper wage scale are es-
sential to high production" Enlight-
ened patriotism, in other words, de-
mands not that the workers shall work
long hours at top speed for the least
possible wages, but that for the sake
of output they shall make steady
reasonable expenditure of strength for
reasonable length of time under prop
er conditions. We have long heard
these things demanded for the good Of
the workers, but now u new partner
ship has been formed. Efficiency and
humanity 60 hand in hand.
From the time of our entrance into
the war, the Importance of conserving
labor standards has been emphasized
and re-emphasized by important Off
Gals In the government. The presi-

tai for agriculture after the war. These
holdings, he says, should be large
enough to enable the settler to grow
sufficient cereals and potatoes for him
self and family and to keep one or two
cows.
AS for the independent artisans In
class three, 1t would be for the inter-
ests of every community to do its ut
most to attract labor to the land in its
immediate vicinity.
Under class four, which would be
providing for peasant holdings. the dis
trict authorities and the provincial set
uement companies would have 1t to
deal with. These settlers would be
those who could command adequate
agricultural knowledge, those who be-
fore the war were tenant farmers,
farm agents, or belonged to the more
efficient class of farm laborers.
Herr Utsch believes that during the
first period after the war II will be
necessary to proceed mainly with the
establishment of individual settlements
near existing villages, for the settlers
with the assistance Of the communes,
buildings will be cheaper. 1t will not
be necessary to undertake road making
and drainage operations on q large
scale. This character of settlement,
he believes, would induce soldiers to
settle near their old homes, where, as
they are known, assistance will be
more readily given to them.
Funds From War Profits.
AS to the capital that will be neces-
| sary to establish such communal set.
Elements, the writer suggests that
about 10 per cent Of all war profits
which after the payment of taxes ex-
coed 10000 marks ought to be lent on
mortgages on the settlements at the
rate Of to 3h per cent.

Issued by the ordnance departmei-, as
part OF General Orders No. 10. The
departments of women in industry of
the woman's committee throughout the
country are doing and will do all in
their power to put this Endorsement
into practical effect, with the co-opera-
ton of the department of women in
industry of the woman's committee at
Washington.
What are these standards, and why
are standards for working women Of
such prime Importance to the nation
ut this time? Proper conditions of
woman's labor have always been Of
peculiar Importance to the state. In
peace times the United States Supreme
court held that, for the sake of future
generations, 1t was constitutional to
limit the working hours of women to
eight hours day. Today in war
time limitation Of hours Ii Is important
for an additional reason. Modern war
fare is not fought in the trenches
alone. The army ut the front is help
less If the second line of defense, the
army in factories, is not able to keep
mp production of supplies. In empha-
sizing the necessity Of rigid enforce
ment Of existing legal standards, and
urging that "even where the law per-
mits a nine or ten-hour day. effort
should be made to restrict the work of
women to eight hours" the ordnance
department has in mind primarily the
output Of munitions. In urging the
prohibition of night work, they state
that English investigators have found
that night work for women involves
propOrtionately larger costs for super
vision and protection" The human
cost of night work has long been
known to social investigators. A
world war has brought out Its pecun-
larry extravaganza.
The Saturday half holiday-"an alb
solute essential for women under all
onditions"-adequate meal and rest
periods, and one days rest in seven,
also find place in this government list
of Industrial standards. Even with
the best will In the world, and despite
the most ardent spirit of sacrifice, hui
man beings cannot do continuous work
without losing their efficiency. The
English workers, who toiled such long
hours at the beginning Of the war, did
