does not mean that we can fold our
hands. II means further sacrifice.
Our membership must hold together
and be increased for tho great tasks
to come. We must provo conclusive
ly to an attentive world that America
is permanently aroused to tho needs
or the new era, our old indifference
gone forever.
"The exact nature OF tho future
service of the Red Cross will depend
upon the programme of the associat-
ed governments. but there Is i'm
mediate need to-day for every heart
cning word and for every helpful
service. We must not forget that
our soldiers and our sailors are still
under orders and still have duties
to perform of the highest conse-
quence and that the Red Cross
Christmas membership means a great
deal to them. The people of the
saddened lands, moreover, returning
home to- day where there are no
homes, must have the assurance that
the hearts of our people are with
them in the dark and doubtful days
ahead. Let us, 80 far as we can, help
them back to faith in mercy and in
future happiness.
AS president of the Red Cross,
conscious in this great hour of the
value of such message from the
American people, | should be glad if
every American would join the Red
Cross for 1919, and thus send forth
to the whole human family the
Christmas greeting for which it waits
and of which it stands in greatest
need. WOODROW WILSON

Chicago Plans to

Men and Women
Modern Equipment Installed
in Washburn School Will
Enable Pupils to Prepare
Quickly for Machine Use

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Equipment
has now been installed in the Wash
burn School, in Chicago, sufficient to
begin the training of large numbers
OF young men and women who will
within comparatively short periods be
competent machine operators, accord
ing to a Department of Labor bulletin.
The school is the most complete We,
established for the solution of the
skilled labor problem, and its work will

Streets, Chicago, and is one of the
ilnest school buildings of the city. The
Board of Education has turned it over
assist in the supplying of trained
workers for peace production.
Workers, particularly women, will
be trained in as short a time as is
conducive to real efficiency to become
skilled machine operators, so that they
may help to relieve the labor short
age now so pressing The depart
ments of training will include the au-
tomato screw machine, hand screw
welding and soldering. Mechanics who
have the ability to impart their know-
edge to others have been selected for
the staff of instructors, and their sal
aries will be paid by the Board of
Education.
An engineer of the training and dilu-
tion service has been installing equip
ment, which is furnished by factories
IN the locality. Machines actually used

so that there may be no difficulty in
changing from one type to another.
Students must be actual employees

unskilled workers put in forty-hve
hours a week, the same as though they
were in actual production, and are
paid the usual rate for unskilled la
pense the employer for their services
Training is also given machinists
who wish to become instructors, but
these students are not paid They at
tend classes in the evening.
Proficiency is recognized by certifi-
Gates, which show the class of work
accomplished and the length of instruc-
ton.
Factories cooperating in the work
furnish raw material, dies, tools, jigs
and the like, as we'll as the machine
equipment. The school already has
very full equipment for elementary
training in machine processes.
The benefits to the worker will be
threefold, for they will receive indi-
vidual training that will mean saving
in time; the factories will save floor
space needed for production, and both
worker and employer will save ex-
pense by the cooperative plan, whereby
the worker is paid at his usual rate
for unSkilled work while he is preDar-
ing himself as rapidly as possible for
better wages.
After peace comes, it is planned to
make this school permanent indus
trial training school, and if the de-
mand exceeds its facilities other
schools will probably be devoted to
the work.

upon all state organizations to aup-
port the bureaus work carried on with
the public schools. Later the Presi-
oent approved an act of Congress by
which authority was conferred on the
Bureau of Naturalization to promote
'he instruction and training Of for
eigners who desire to be naturalized.
congress authorized also the publica-
ton and distribution Of the "Student's

structon that prepares candidates for
citizenship for their responsibilities.
Through it's AmerlcaniEation depart
ment tho General Federation Of Won
cn's Clubs will cooperate with the bu-
reau and supplement the activities of
the Federal government wherever pos
sible.
No branch of the United States gov
ernment has such actual close contact
with the foreign population as the Bu-
reau OF Naturalization, which reaches
in normal times more than 1000 900
newcomers year. Through tho public
schools this contact has been espc-
cially successful. since it Is the most
natural and most etFectual contact that
can be devised. The method of cstab-
lishing it is simple. As soon as a for
ciRner files his declaration of intention
or his petition for naturalization. his
name ana thAt OF MS wife arc sent to
the public schools in the community.
Later letters arc addressed to the man
and woman urging them to go to the
schools. where they can obtain the in
structon that lays the foundations for
good citizenship.
The bureau has interested the Gov
ornors of the various states in its broad q
educational work. which has been uni
formly indorsed Recognizing what has
been already accomplished. and fore
seeing the need of unremitting work
Congress has authorized the contin-
uance Of the system that has been
so carefully and so successfully worked

Supplies Sold to
States and Cities
Also Seeks the Purchase of
Cantonments to House
Institution Patients
and the Charity Inmates

TRENTON. Dec 7. Burdette G..
Lewis, State Commissioner of Charities
and Corrections, has written TO Maj jor
General George w. Goethals suggest
ing that the government extend to all
state, county and municipal govern
ments the opportunity to purchase sur
plus supplies and equipment of the
War Department.
The commissioner suggested that a
catalogue of all stock available for
purchase be compiled.
BY storing the materials instead OF
demoralizing the market through forced
available to government purchasing
divisions for several years, with the
resultant financial gain to Federal,
state and local governments.
The letter of Commissioner Lewis
points out that the surplus stock will
become increasingly burdensome as de-
mobilization of troops progresses, and
that these would be very useful to
public institutions. hospitals and other
public using agencies throughout the
country
a vast quantity of medical and surgical
supplies and hospital equipment at
cantonments and abroad" Commits
sioner Lewis says in his letter.
During the next six months and
for the months succeeding, state,
county and municipal governments will
be large purchasers of supplies; for
example, the institutions of the De-
rartment of Charities and Corrections
OF New Jersey in its budget request
for the year 1919-1920 have applied
for s2,575,465 for household and other
supplies; =,
"Another matter which I would call
to your attention in connection with
the demobilization of war plants, war
industries and cantonments is the pos
sible use of parts or all Of these plants
and cantonments for housing the wards
OF the state We have also considered
the possibility of purchasing the bar
racks erected in New Jersey camps,
with the thought that they might be
moved away to the prison farm at
Leesburg, to serve as dormitories for
the large number of feebleminded per-
sons on waiting lists and who are not
now provided for by the state. These
barracks could also be used for hous-
ing more prisoners at the state farm
at Leesburg, and other inmates or
patients of other state and county

the two wings of the social democ-

hopelessly divided.
Political onlookers are wondering
to-day whether the Ebert and Haase

IL to Is Persons Killed
The clash between government troons
and followers of the Spartacus or
radical group resulted In from twelve
to sixteen persons being killed, accord
ing to various reports. The number of
wounded is not expected to exceed
fifty. Several girls who were passen-

killed.

commander warned the people to dis

"Forward! The soldiers won't shoot
their comrades" The marchers tried
to pierce the line, whereupon the order
to fire was given. Besides the wounded
several were badly hurt rushing through
broken show windows to seek cover.

government to make the arrest.
This occurred at the same hour as
the clash between the government
troops and the Spartacus insurgents.
