CHURCHILL COMPLIMENTS
 LOYAL BRITISH WORKERS

LONDON, April 3.-There ,re now fewer strikes in Great Britain that at any period since the war bep.r avs an official report to parliament m the labor situation. The report says in part:
 "The soundness of the labor situa. tion in this country is really remark able, considering the large isspes in. volved and the millions of men af- fected. After three and hals years of war the great body Of laboring men are still working with a steady devotion never known before in this country"
 Winston Churchill, ta a statement supplementing this report, said that the labor situation was so good that the secret service department in the ministry of munitions had been abol- ished and the ministry now has no secret agents of any kind. ''Ths wide spread and unswerving loyalty and resolution with which the production of munitions Is being maintained is shown by the fact that time lost tn all branches of our work during the past six months has been less than one fourth Of one per cent" he added.

ANOTHER Big MAN ENLISTED

When James A. Farrell, president
Of the United States Steel corporation,
was selected for the position of direc-
tor of operations of the shipping board,
the steel industry felt man had been
chosen who is pre-eminently fitted to
handle job involving knowledge of
shipping. Through his development of
the foreign trade of the Steel corpora
ton he has acquired information and
experience which will be Of great bene-
ut in increasing the governments ca
pacity for transporting men and sup
plies to the European war front.
Born at New Haven, on February
10, 1868, Mr.. Farrell started his steel
career In wire mill while he was yet
In his teens. While his work in the
shops was considered satisfactory he
gained an early reputation as a sales
man with the Pittsburgh Wire COM
pany. Soon after this concern was
taken over by the American Steel and
Wire company, Mr.. Farrell was made

CHERADAME'S GREAT IDEA

Andre Cheradame, recognized au-
thOrity on pan-GermaniSm, lays before
the allies a daring plan for organizing
scientifically a revolution against pan
Germany within its very boundaries.
He is confident that 60,OO0,000 German
hating people of Bohemia, Galicia,
Herzegovina, Pennsylvania, BukOwina
and Poland can be aroused TO active
rebellion and that they can be supplied
with arms and ammunition by squad
rons of giant airplanes like the Ca
pronis. This, says NJ. Cheradame, is
the sure way to end the war.
When Andre Cheradame states
facts about middle Europe and the
Balkans he speaks as a very high au-
thOrity on such questions. Also, when
he suggests Il practical course of ac-
ton based on those facts he demands
most serious attention as a man whose
