A PRESIDENT AND A KAISER.

According to the statement of his
dentist, DR.. Davis, the German Kaiser
declared that President Wilson is an
''idealistic scoundreI', Now it does
not really matter very much what
Kaiser Wilhelm or any of his CLIQUE
may think of our President, but his
insulting remarks are of interest be-
cause he is the first ruler of any
country who has ever dared to cast
slur upon our chief executive. If
one chances through the various war
books issued by Entente belligerents,
or by Germany's allies. for that mat
ter, one will find not a single term
employed in reference to the head of
nation such as the war lord has used
in speaking of President Wilson. A
close perusal of President Wilson s
will fail to reveal q single instance of
lack of propriety in phraseology. Nor
in any of his utterances has the Pres
ident resorted to insulting epithets,
even when speaking of our country's
b1tterest enemies. If we contrast the
mastery, modest, polite phrases of
our President with the naughty, re-
pulsive boastings of the man who
plunged the world into war, we can
obtain an idea of one phase Of the
vast difference between the American
standard bearer and the Hun Kaiser.

British War Cabinet Decides Oh
Drastic Action to End Strike

London, July 25.-The British war
tons strike continues the strikers OF
military age will be drafted promptly
, into the army, according to an un-
official statement printed in some Of
the morning newspapers. George Fl.
; Roberts, minister of labor, gave a hint
TO this effect in a speech in London
, Wednesday when he declared that 10
young men had a, right to exemption
from military service except on this
ground they were doing work mora
valuable than fighting.
The government remains firm in it's
refusal to withdraw the embargo
which ostensibly is the cause of ths
strike, although it seems that in soma
+ instances the embargo Is used as a
pretext to cover other grievances.
{ Events now are waiting upon the
national conference of the delegates
. of the engineering trades which it Isl
understood meets at Leeds today. IT.
is believed in some quarters that
ma ority of the delegates will insist on
Il ballot of the members before calling
general strike. This course is
strongly supported by Alexander
Thompson, socialist and editor of The
Clarion, who writes in the Daily Mail.
1T is unthinkable that the con-
ference will assume the tremendous
responsibility of stopping the muni-
ton output Of the whole country
without democratic vote by all the
men and women concerned. The
tactics of the young rebels who
forced a strike at Birmingham and
Coventry against the advice Of re-
aponsibiIe leaders make not for de-
mocracy or socialism, but straight
for anarchy and Bolshevism."
Meanwhile dissension is being
created in the trades union ranks by
the action of the strikers and in many
parts of the country the conduct Of
the Coventry and Birmingham men
is denounced hot1y. Even in Birm-
ingham itself many of the engineers
refuse to be stumped into an irre-
spOnsible strike. On the Clyde
there seems no sign Of sympathy with
the strikers and work there is con-
tinuing smoothly The same may be-
said of many other centcrs.
On the other hand 5000 notices. To
cease work Tuesday were handed in
at Manchester where the Amalgannatcd
engineers have a mem bership of 15.-
900. It is declared u majority will
ioin the strike unless the embargo is :
removed.
It is reported also that the en-
o'ineers at New Castle have decided
70 follow the strike lead without
waiting action by the national con-
ference. The men at Lincoln did
not go on strike Wednesday as
threatened but will await the result
Of the conference.

ABOUT THE PHYSICIANS.

What is the matter with the physt-
clans Of New Britain? There are two
or three who have generously given
of their time and services to every
patriotic work which required their
assistance, but a great many doctors
do not seem willing to do their share
of war work Are they SO bustly en-
gagged with their professional duties
that they cannot spare an hour or so
q day to help the Children's Welfare
movement? We do not believe that
the doctors of this city are lacking in
patriotism There must be some other
reason why they do not lend a helping
hand What is it?

HOW DO THEY DO 1T?

In a recent official communication,
VOLTS Telegraph Bureau contained
the following account from Luden-
dorff Of the battle between Anne ricans
and Germans:
Dense masses of blacks and
Americans were hurled against
the German lines. They paid for
it in some hundred thousands of
killed negroes and Americans. In
some places they advanced to at
tack Is waves deep. One wave
after the other broke down in the
German artillery and machine
gun fire.
Of all the deliberate and absurd
fa.lsehoods that ever emanated from
Berlin. this is the worst. The Ger
man high command has been telling
The German people all along that the
aumbe of American troops in France
ID ridiculously small, and that Ger
man submarines will take good care
that the number does not increase.
Every report of American success has
been kept away from the German

The Saloons Appeal.
(Collier's Weekly

The z. M. G. A. reports that saloons
appeal much less powerfully to youths
between seventeen and twenty-tour
years of age than to older men.
Should these tidings raise our spirits
or lower them?
Among the young men reported on,
young men from seventeen to twenty
four years old, 17.s per cent. patronize
the saloon; of men between twenty
five and thirty five, 326 per cent. are
customers; of men from thirty-stx up
to foTty-f five. ~ per cent use the sa-
loon, Now, considering the unattrac-
tiveness Of the ordinary berroom
these figures are rather striking. A
still more damaging criticism Of our
social order is, however, to be found
in the Y M. Q. A. addendun1, that
twice as many married men go to the
saloon as single men" Our upl1fters
make a bad matter worse by attr1but-
ing the fact to "the higher idea ism or
the young men''--for what cures our
young men Of their idealism? Hap
PLY. the Y. M. G. A. adds as an after
thought that unmarried men spend a
good deal Of their time In the COM
pany of their sweethearts, who natur-
ally would not visit the saloon with
popular in the years between thirty
five and forty five, the dull drab years
of middle age.
If this report IS worth very much,
its value lies in the omitted sugges-
ton that something is wrong about
the woman whose appeal to her mate
comes to be weaker than the appeal
Of the man in a white coat--whose
ministrations Provost Marshal Crow
der refuses to classify as useful
work" It is UP to the wives of these
men "between thirty five and forty
five the dull drab years" to make
home as attract as the place on
the corner, where there's sawdust on
the floor and a shiny brass rail. Scold-
ing won't help-whether editorial or
conjugaI-but how about good cook
ing (duite within Mr.. Hoover's recon-
mendations), and good table talk, to
make the corn cakes even more sue
culent?
