return to work until differences have been ad iused
 So far since the war labor has been fairly treated by the government in all disputes Its demands have been almost invariably granted. The which have been 'adjudged to labor have been liberal It has never been so well paid present. The labor leaders have shown high patriotism and organized labor as rule has been patriotic. There have been, though, some exceptions. There those eastern shipbuiding strikes which without excuse. They deprecated by Mr. Gompers and other leaders but it was with great difficulty that the men were induced return to work
 If we had had work or fight" legislation then those strikes might been avoided and if not they might have been more promptly settled than they were We do not believe there will be much striking during the but there will almost certainly be strikes. The employers may be in the or the employees may be in the wrong The nation cannot wait until they settle such disputes among them selves It should be able settlement. It already has the power to compel employers to do jus tce to their employees and has exercised such power. It should not be left without power to compel the employe to justice to his employer.
 The real objection of the labor leaders to the work fight clause is that it includes among the things at which it aims the principle of the strike which they hold should be held sacred in all circum stances; that no exigency, however great, should it to be held in abeyance. They insist that other authority than organized labor should deal strikes The weapon of the strike is the lockout. No is foolish and so unpatriotic as contend that employers at this time should be all lowed to such weapon; that concern engaged in the production of supplies for the government should be permitted shut up it's shop because of difference with its employees.
 In all probability before the war is over there will be strikes which Mr. Gompers and other leaders cannot promptly control, however disposed to do they may be. Anyway, MT. Gompers is only private citizen and these things that should not be left the control of private citizens
 Another statement by MT. Gompers relative to this proposed legislation is worth consideration. In letter to Senator Thomas the author of the clause in it's original form, he recounted that labor patriotic but he ntimaed that if such legislation were enacted it would humiliate labor fill it with resentment which, to infer, would render it less patriotic That s labor will not willingly submit the legal restrictions which imposed upon at large.

The "Work or Fiqht" Clause

It is by no certain that the work or fight clause will become part of the man-power law Though it is in the bill it passed the Senate no doubt Mr. Gompers and other labor leaders will brings pressure to bear in the House to strike it out They will probably succeed for know of no other body in this country and other legislative body on earth quite so cowardy the House of Representatives of the United States on the eve of the congressional elections very large majority of the members of the present Congress candidates re election
 The avowed objection to the work or fight" clause Is that it is transcription of labor" We may call It that but if so we have conscrption pretty nearly everything else. We have conscrption of human life and we have conscrpton of capital The clause merely provides that men who able to work and are not working. shall be put into Class l. That the clause was chiefly aimed at strikers true but it has been modified that strikers need deprived of their exemption. They have only to agree to submit their differences with their employers to arbitration and

July 27, 1918.

July [, lJlo. My dear Carroll:
 Well here I am in France located in our base hospital about 212 miles out side of Nantes the seventh largest city in France. My trip over was not marked with any extraordinary cir cumstances except for the anxiety nat urally associated herewith. While was not seasick, had excellent food and a fine bunch of officers, still I prefer land to sea as an officer. The en- listed personnel of the navy I consider very fortunate and congratulate you upon deciding to enter the navy. From my several weeks or so of observation conclude that the station of a sailor is very desirable. I received a letter from Nellie, the last one dated by her July 2 saying that you were laid up with the grip. I am sorry but hope that by this time you will have fully and completely recovered. Our hos pital is one of the three or four others very close under our C. o. and it is not completely built but will soon be so. All the buildings are of the one story wooden shacks of the American can tonments and we have all the conven- | fences that they enjoy in the States. Everything you can wish for can be

 have received no mail nor has any one else here dated in the States later than July ?. To get an idea of the first class mail alone, on our boat over we carried 2,002 bags of mail. I re- ceived my first U. S. A. boy as patient a few days ago. Not one of them is so badly hurt but what he can go out to mess line. Almost all are high eX- plosives of shrapnel wounds and in the course of two weeks will be ready to go back at the Germans. I never was so much surprised in my life to note the excellent spirit among our boys; their aggressiveness and dash. Everyone 1 have seen I consider a man every inch, and every day they will ask to go back to their regiment. They would sooner be there than in a hos pital getting hurt. They say the only advantage hospital has is a spring and mattress bed which they tire of in few days.
 The first day I got boy by the name of Seldonridge from the 4600 block or Fleetwood avenue. Philadel- phia. who was shot in the toe. Do you know him? He is a regular army pri- vate with three and half years serv- ice. Have two or three Philadelphia boys. They have all kind of junk they took from prisoners they captured. q am in my barracks now and I can hear airplane engines overhead.) These boys have all been in the recent drive and tell me they took lots of prisoners which are 15 to IT years old and over 40 years. No middle aged. They all say the Germans are no close range

take no prisoners but cut the throat of the Germans who they capture. After being prisoner they change their mind about the Americans. I have seen lots of German prisoners who are working near here on farms and building roads. One German who was taken prisoner asked permission to return to his line and get his brother and they would both come over a prisoner. He cried and said he knows his kid brother would be killed if he stayde with the Germans. Permission was not granted him.
 A regular army Sarg. told me this morning that he came across German private who was chained to a big gun evidently by his officer, and was dead when the Sarg. found him. He said

USING ANCIENT WEAPONS.

One of the remarkable features Of
the present world war is the revival
of weapons, methods of attack and
of defense which originated long
time ago. Trench warfare is moth
ing new, but merely modern elabo-
ration of one of the Oldest methods
of defense known. The steel he'll
NETS, shields and breast plates adopt
ed by practically all Of the armies
engaged in this war are adaptations
of types that had been in use long
before the birth of Christ, says the
Popular Science Monthly. The hand
grenade is another revival, highly
modernized. Hand grenades are
thrown into the enemy trenches, per-
haps only fifty or sixty yards dis
tant. These hand grenades, which
are extensively used in trench war
fare are terrible weapons. They are
filled with the most powerful ex-
plosives and great care must be
taken to prevent their premature ex-
plosion.

ONLY LIVING BUDDHIST KING
Ruler of Siam Noted for His Pro.
nounced Aversion to Women,
Despite Good Qualities.

In marked contrast to the late
king, his father, who had three
queens and 175 other wives, the
present king of Siam is such strict
celibate that he will not have any
women near him. This strange mon
arch is attended only by men and
boys, a high fence separating his
palace grounds from those of the
ladies of his court.
The present king enjoys the
unique distinction of being the only
living Buddhist monarch. His is
an absolute monarchy, under an
Anglo-French protectorate. The
country is rich in natural resources
and is being rapidly opened up by
railroads.
The Siamese are great admirers
of American institutions and are
keen for education. Before the war
Siam had standing army of 10000
and navy, the ships mostly built
i'll Japan, but under inefficient ma
tive command.
The present king is a playwright
and numismatist, courteous and
agreeable.

CAPITALISTS OF RIGHT TYPE
without Fear and Without Incidence"
Is Apt Description of Man Pictured
by Norman Hapgood.

I have been looking carefully into
the early stages of cooperation in a
small manufacturing plant. The
plan started about a year ago.
All questions concerning factory en-
ployment go first to a committee in
which most of the members are fac
tory employees. The head of the con-
Germ has differed with the commit
tee but once, and then he was right,
as when he put his view the commit
tee voluntarily reversed its previous
decision by something like ten to
one. This concern last year paid ex-
actly the same dividends on wages
that it paid on capital. The presi-
dent of the company intends to carry
the plan further, as far as control
goes, as rapidly as the education of
the employees makes it possible. He
has no desire to pile up such a for
tune that neither he nor his descend
ants for generations will know the
necessity of doing their share in or
der to live. He is without fear and
without Incidence. / know him and
knew also many of the other type
of capitalists, who cling to all the
power and all the profits. Believe
me, if | had to choose between his
inner self-his serenity, ardor and
youthful heart-and the tired, dis
trustful plethora of the more inquisi-
tive type it would not take me long.

WHY ATHLETES GET STALE"
Coaches Sometimes Keep Their Men
at Work Without Proper
Resting Periods.

The question of short versus long
periods of practice in training the
human muscles for any particular
kind of work is obviously one hav-
ing far-reaching application. Some
interesting experiments on this sub
ject have been carried out by DIR.
X. S. Lashley of Johns Hopkins uni
versity. Acquisition of skill in arch
cry was selected as the subject of OBJ
servation. Twenty unframed per-
sons were divided into three groups
One group shot five arrows with the
English longbow per day; another
twenty shots per day, and the third
forty shots. The results showed con-
clusively that the group shooting
only five times day improved in
accuracy with less expenditure of
time in practice than was required
by either of the other groups for the
same amount of improvement. A
report on the experiments says :
"The relatively greater efficiency of
short periods of practice continuing
for many days is in accordance with
the results of the study of animals
and of speech habits in man, and in
dicates that in training to muscular
feats, in both animals and men, the
length of practice periods required
is usually too great for maximum
efficiency"
