AMERICAN HARDWARE
STORES
THIS SPY SUSPECT
TIMED PAPER BALLS

New York, May 23-E. Sarashn, IS,
a Columbia. student living in Hartley
Hall, spent part of yesterday using
stop watch to time the fall of paper
balls from Riverside Drive viaduct
into Manhattan street. His computa-
lions interested a policeman, who was
told that the affairs of a Columbia
student were none of his. The police
man took Sarasohn to the Enemy
Alien Bureau in the Federal building,
where Capt. Roger B. Hull found
Sarasohn in a mood to question every
officials authority to question him.
Sarasohn, however, at length ad-
mitted that he was not an enemy
alien and that his parents live in the
Hotel Bossert- in Brooklyn.
Capt. Hull sent Sarasohn to E.
Paul Yaselli, assistant United States
attorney, for a decision as to whether
the dropping of paper balls into Man
haitian street furnished the basis for
a criminal proceeding. Mr.. Yaselli
decided that Sarasohn was "a frivol
Gus youth" and sent him away.
This investigation is so like the
melo-drama," said Sarasohn in a
bored voice when he was told he was
free to go. Luckily Wednesday is
not my day to be serious"

PRESIDENTS And
KAISER'S STAND
IS ANTACONISTIC

London, May 23-''The object of
the war is to carry the spirit of Pres
ident Wilson into the hearts and
minds of the people of Germany"
declared Professor Sponsor Wilkin-
son of Oxford in an address on the
Idea of This War" He said:
1.-THE German Emperor and Presi-
dent Wilson are each of them at the
head of a great nation, and each of
them Yields in that nation supreme
authority.
But the two men stand for two
antagonistic systems. The German
Emperor is never tired of proclaim
ing that he has received a special
commission from God Almighty to
educate and instruct the German peo-
pie and other peoples, after his arm
les shall have crushed them.
"Mr. Wilson on the other hand, was
chosen by the people of the United
States to preside over the govern
ment, He has no commission to edu-
cate them. Their idea is to be allow
ed to grow and to develop their pow
ers by doing their work. Here is
Mr.. Wilson's conception of his mis-
sion
I feel nothing so much as the
intensity of the common man. 1 car
/, pick out in every audience the men
who are at ease in their fortunes. But
there are in every crowd other men
who are listening to hear somebody
speak the thing that is stirring in
their hearts and minds. It makes g
mans heart ache. to think that he
cannot be sure he is doing it fol
themi to wonder whether they are
longing for something he does no
understand. He prays God that
something will bring into his consci
ence what is in theirs, SO that the
whole nation may feel att asst releas
ed from its dumbness, feel at las
that there is hope and confidence
and that the road may be trodden al
if they were brothers, shoulder t,
shoulder, not asking each other any
thing about differences of class, no
contesting for any selfish advance
but united in the common enterprise.
! The object of this war is to car
ry the spirit of those words into tn,
hearts and minds of the German PEG
pie. Is that not an object worth liv
ling for and dying for1''

Mine LABOR is
BEING DEPLETED
BY ARMY DRAFTS

Several hundred mine-workers left
the coal regions, today, under the
draft and as volunteers. This fur
, Their depletion of the supply of labor
is serious matter. 1t closely at
fects the amount of coal that can be
mined. Under the new general
state draft call, Pennsylvania must
furnish $3.50 more soldiers. The
anthracite industry is alarmed over
what proportion of this quota will be
taken from it.
Every miner taken away for mill
tary duty means that it will take two
! years for another man to take his
place: for two years experience must
first be had before a man is granted
an anthracite miners license, or GER
tificate to work under the state law.
AS it is now, every man lost to the
industry works to curtail the produc-
ton OF coal. the output of which Is
even now limited by the labor sup
ply.
The present army of mine-workers
is barely sufficient to maintain the
present maximum output of 275, 900
tons daily, There are now $4,000
mine workers, or $4,000 fewer men
than before the WAR. Should the
drift, voluntary enlistments and other
causes take men away from the re-
gion in large numbers, the inevitable
result will be big anthracite short
age.
A miner and his laborer, with eff
fort can get out eight tons of an
thracite daily. A miner being takeT
away, the laberer cannot work ant
the resultant loss in output woult
mean 20S tons for 26 working day;
or $500 tons a year for '312 working
days. Allowing 10 tons of anthracite
for winter consumption, this woul:
also mean that ESQ families would b.
deprived of coal, for every registered
miner lost to the industry.
From patriotic reasons the mine
workers are doing their utmost ant
the anthracite industry praises thei
efforts. 1t is urging the men to .worl
on Decoration Day, and fraom a con
census of replies taken from tn
army OF workers, it is very likely thu.
they will do so.

giant strides.
"She promises to do even better
than this as more shipyards get into

to that of the other allies, should this
year exceed by far any destruction
wrought by submarines from this
time onward.
