"A DAY IN CAMP"
dedicated to the United War Work
Campaign)
By Rabbi C. David Matt.


By Rabbi C. David Matt.
There are many who no doubt feel
that making the campaign for the
seven war agencies a joint one is
largely a matter of expediency, but
in no way connected with the actual
relationship of the agencies or their
work. Yet as a matter of fact per-
haps the best reason for making a
united drive for funds is because the
agencies themselves are so really
joint, cooperative and supple
mentary. From the moment one ar
rives at the railroad station of war
camp community to the moment he
leaves, he feels the presence of an in
elusive, protecting, warm bond of
fellowship and helpfulness whose
sole purpose is to help the men in
the service and make things safe,
pleasant and convenient for those
who visit them.
Thus, first in evidence is the War
Camp Community Service, with it's
information booth at the railroad
station to at once get the visiting
relative in touch with the soldier.
In the community one or more

GERMAN PROPAGANDA
APPEARS IN MEXICO
TWO AMERICAN NEWSPAPER
MEN ORDERED TO LEAVE BY
PRESIDENT CARRANZA.

Observation-Disclosures advices re-
ceived here tell of an order for the
expulsion from Mexico by the Carran-
"a government of Robert H. Murray,
the representative of the committee on
public information in Mexico City,
who in that capacity has been in
charge of the work conducted by the
American government to offset Ger
man propaganda.
At the same time, the unofficial ad
vices say, one of the correspondents
of the Associated Press in Mexico
Ciey, w. E. Weigand, also was order
ed to leave.
The expulsion Of both men, it IS
said, was ordered under the thirty
third section OF the Mexican constitu-
ton, which provides for the summary
deportation Of 'pernicious foreigners"
without trial or hearing. Some of the
experiences of Americans expelled
from Mexico under that section have
been described as little short of har-
rowing
h vi "do IliC correspondent VI
the New York World and one of the
best known American newspaper men
in Mexico. When it was determined
to take steps to properly inform Mexi-
cans Of the attitude OF the United
States in the war, and thus attack
the German propaganda in Mexico,
which for months has been described
as rampant, Murray was selected by
the committee on public information
to carry on it's work. An order for his
expulsion is taken to substantiate re-
cent reports that the German propa-
ganda had again gained the upper
hand in Mexican official circles.
The State Department was without
official advices from Ambassador
Fletcher on the subject, but had re-
ceived the report officially. Other
sources of information here in touch
with Mexican affairs heard the same
report.
The last definite information Of
Murray and Weigand was received
here more than two weeks ago, when
news came that both had, at the order
of President Carranza, been hailed be-
fore military court and that their
deportation was expected.

ment control started and which they
repeated before the commission. Their
demands had been for an average Of
somewhat less than 40 per cent. and
increases for them average less than
70 per cent.
Some union leaders who anticipated
that the commissions recommends
lions would not be for as great
amounts as they had asked already
have appealed to Director General Nc
Adoo to amend the proposed scale to
give them higher pay. Others, how
ever. virtually have agreed to accept
the report.
The wage advances, which range all
the way from 81 to S34 month"; are
increases above the amount of pay
each employee was receiving on De
cember 81, 1915. Employees who have
received advances since that date will
benefit now to the extent of the differ
encs between their present wage and
that fixed by the wage commission.
The net cost of the additional nav
to the railroads Is estimated at $780,
100000. This is exclusive of the esti-
mated deficit of $500 900 600 in govern
ment operation of the railroads this
year, as result OF which Director
General McAdoo contemplates ad-
vancing passenger rates at least On
per cent and freight rates possibly as
much as Is per cent.
Based on Living Cost.
The scheme of wage advances adopt-
ed is based on an inquiry into the
cost of living, which the commission
found has increased approximately 40
per cent to the average railroad en-
ployee receiving $85 month.
The commission favors q shorter

Nevertheless, there stands out one

road workers as well as by railroad
officials-that the lower grades of
railroad employment. those in which

THE commission recommends that
during the period of government con-
duct of the railroads no salaries paid
to officials who are not essential to
the operation of the roads shall be
charged as part of the operating ex-
penses.

Rates of overtime pay are not dis
turbed and the increases are adjusted
to the mileage basis of compensation
of some employees, a road engineer,
for example, receiving an increase Of
11K per cent in his mileage rate. A
scheme of applying the increases to
piece work and overtime therefor is
also provided.
An important feature of the report
was the recommendation that where
the same service is rendered the pay
shall be the same, without discrimina-
ton as to sex or race.
Report of Commission.
The report of the commission, con-
slsting of Franklin K. Lane, secretary
of the interior; Charles G. McChord,
J. Harry Covington, and William r..
Wilcox, is an exhaustive one. In part
the report says:
'The requests which have come to-
US for wage increases, would, if fully
granted, involve an additional outlay
in wages of somewhat over 81 900 ,000,-
600 per year in excess of the wage fund
of last year, which. exceeded $1,000,
100000. Some asked for an increase
of 100 per cent in their pay, and from
this they graduated downward to 10
per cent. None were satisfied with
their present wages.
ITO classify the many hundreds of
employments In which the 100000
railroad workers engage would be
task calling for more time, SKILL in
sight, and knowledge than we possess.
At the outset, it was seen that there
were grave inequalities in the rates of
wages paid. But who could say what
relationship each class of employees
should bear to the other? Abstractly,
why should an engineer receive $40
per month and telegraph operator
500 per month";

"The German commander, seeing
how nearly he is delivering himself to

to accept temporary failure and call a

ed in two dangerous saients on wa

immense pice paid for his failure TO

are OF the verge OF quarreling and
