Vigilantes War Notes

Frank E. Wolfe, of the American Alliance for
Labor and Democracy, writes as follows on the
text, ITO make the world safe for democracy"
Come out Of your incidence arouse from your
Iethargy, shake off your inertia and take a mans
part in this great struggle for liberty.
This is a crusade for the hottest cause in
which men went forth to do battle. We
men and women Of labor have our place in the
ranks Of the mighty hosts that are to fight
against the most awful power that has ever
sought to Cypress the human race.
This is Iabor's struggle; 1t is labor's war and
the victory will be for labor, for the people who
create the wealth Of the earth; for those who
shall inherit the earth. Up, grid yourself for
whatsoever task may fail to your hand! Let us
not waver in this hour when the victory is in
sight if we press and on, unfaltering, I'M
afraid 1t will be your victory If you make 1t
American labor stands firm and loyal to the
scored cause for which we pledge our resources
and lives.
The American Alliance for Labor and Dernoc-
racy says that labor can't be gassed." In a
recent article under this caption it declares that
labor has refused to walk into the morasses of
BoIshevist thought so beautifully camouflaged
with theoretical sophisms by the Nearing Hill
quit Berger sort of Socialists. Labor
knew that in the lands to which the Reds
would lead them lurked the poison gas of dis

Organized Labor in the United States stands
four squared in It's patrlotlsm
Professor Hooking of Harvard points out that
it is perfectly obvious that the world of labor
is more keenly alive today to questions Of JUS
tice which affect it's own situation than ever
before, and less disposed to be tolerant of any
unjust distributions of war burdens, and also
that it never had so much power of making
its opinions felt. Profiteering on the part Of
employers is the one form Of injustice it will
not stand. But he continues, LAS matter Of
fact, I believe there never has been so little
proflteering Of this sort the part Of the big
producers and contractors and much of the
genuine spirit of sef-sacrifice as at the present
time"

A New Cap For The Yanks

Style In Headgear For Americans at the Front
Is Revised.
From Star and Stripes, France,
THE crease follows the seam and the seam
follows the crease"
That is the college yell Of the New Overseas
Cap. For whether you knew it before or not
there is a New Overseas Cap. And the most
important thing about the New Overseas Cap Is
that it differs from the old overseas cap.
It has certain points Of similarity. It is built
to cover the head. 1t is made of much the Same
kind of cloth. It has neither brtm nor visor.
But it has these advantages; It is much
better made than the old cap. 1t fits far more
neatly, looks more chic adapts itself far more
genteelly to the average doughboy braincase.
This is not the place to rehash the whole his
part which the Stars and Stripes played in that
memorable contest. Suffice it that there is
New Cap, and let bygones be bygones
Made Scientific Plan.
The New Cap-the Quartermaster Corps
vouches for this-is made on thoroughly SCI
entifio plan. The old cap is believed not to have
been made on any plan. The theory Of the New
Cap is the enunCiated above: The crease
follows the seam and the seam follows the
crease
with what result? First of all, it means that
the New Cap fits. It means that when you are
size Of a handkerchief and slowed away in your
pocket without making a sizeable bulge. And
when you remove it from your pocket for wear,
1t will not be creased and wrtnkled and gen.
orally hideous. It will have kept its shape
all because the crease follows the seam and the
seam follows the crease.
The colored piping on officers caps will be
in the earlier model So will the in
sigma of rank, for officers, and Of branch of
service for enlisted men.
Many Descriptions of It,
The New Cap is not in prospect It is an ac-
complished fact. Several thousand Of it are al
ready being Eventually the number will
be --, which, as our readers can see, will allow
one cap for every man in the American E5Sped-
tionary Forces. And they will be distributed as
rapidly as they can be turned out.
The New Cap is an independent product
Those who have seen 1t report variously that It
looks like a Belgian cap, Kilue cap Royal
Flying Corps cap. This proves that it looks like
itself only, and like no other cap in the world
To put in word the New Cap is natty. And
the old cap was not even hatty.

TEE NEGRO IN THE WAR.

Negro soldiers have given abundant
proof Of their courage, exemplary bearing
and soldierly conduct in the present war,
but they are doing more than that
They are adding an occasional touch Of
comedy to the grim horrors Of the con-
fict
Many an anecdote of the negro soldiers
is related by the correspondents, but the
prize one is going the rounds Of the news
paper exchanges at present. One colored
soldier, who had been assigned mental
labor around the kitchen, received a letter
from his girl at home, complaining that
he had never told her of the battles he had
been in, while her friend had received
glowing accounts Of the slaughter of three
Huns by the soldier in whom she was in
terested.
The camp worker indited this classic
reply:
Dear Sue: De battle gon' on. You
would faint if tole you de full details Ah'm
standn in blood up TO nah knees and every
time All move All step on a daid German.
We're too close to use our rifles, and we're
bitin' and gougin 'em. At one time me and

Glass In Food Will Not Kill

From The New York Journal
Richmond, Va--Pounded glass in large quaint
ties can be eaten by human being with no
injurious results. If swallowed in capsule the
person taking the glass probably cannot detect
any effect whatever.
Danger from glass maliciously placed by en-
envy hands in articles of food is a boyle.
These statements were made here by DR.. c. l.
Miller, chemist to the food administrator.
Doctor Miller and DR.. Charles c. Haskell pro-
fessor Of physiological chemistry and professor of
pharmacology, respectively, swallowed 10 large
capsules of glass pounded to about the size Of
grains of sugar from May 16 to May %. They
live. The glass first tried dogs.
