SUPPLY OF RUNNING WATER
Pedal Attachment for washstsnds Is the Latest contrivance to Insure
 Purity of Liquid.

Hot or cold water flows from the same spigot and the handles on the washstand faucet have been rendered obsolete by new arrangement, which provides foot control for the flow of water. Sanitary cleanliness is the prime object of the new arrangement, but convenience is also an important consideration.
 In the state of Illinois 1t Is con- pulsory to supply running water in factories and such places, and simi- lar measures have been enacted or are under consideration in other states, the object being to prevent the contamination which is likely to occur when the washstand is used in common. The pedal attachment iS placed under the washstand a few inches inside of the front line and to one side, preferably the right side, and connections are made with two valves located under the washstand. The location of the pedal is con venient to the foot and the pressure excited in the center of the pedal causes a mixture to issue from the spigot, while if the foot is shifted to the right or left the temperature is made hotter or colder as desired.

willing to fight and to continue 10 fight until they are achieved; but only because we wish the right to prevail and desire a just and stable peace such as can be secured only by remov ing the chief provocations to war, which this program does not remove. We have no jealousy of German great ness and there is nothing in this pro gram that impairs it. We gfudge her no achievements or distinction or learning or of pacific enterprise such as have made her record very bright and very enviable. We do not wish to iniure her or to block in any way her legitimate influence or power. We do not wish to fight her either with arms or with hostile arrangements of trade, if she is willing to associate herself with us and the other peace loving na- tions of the world in covenants of jus tice and law and fair dealing. We wish her only to accept a place of equality among the peoples of the world-the new world in which we now live-instead of a place of mas tery.
 Neither do we presume to suggest to her any alteration or modification of her institutions. But it is necessary, we must frankly say, and necessary as preliminary to any intelligent dealings with her on our part, that we should know whom her spokesmen speak for, when they speak to us, whether for the refchstag majority or for the military part, and the men whose creed is imperial domination.
 We have spoken now, surely, in terms too concrete to admit of any further doubt or question.
 An evident principle runs through the whole program 1 have outlined. It is the principle of justice to all peo- pies and nationalities. and their right to live on equal terms of liberty and safety with one another, whether they be strong or weak. Unless this prin- ciple be made it's foundation, no part of the structure of international jus tice can stand The people of the United States could act upon no other principle and to the vindication of this principle they are ready to devote their lives, their honor and everything that they posses. The moral climax of this, the eliminating and final war for human liberty, has come, and they are ready to put their strength, their own highest purpose, their own integ- rity and devotion to the test.

Seeing the Other Side.

We know a man who has worked all his life for others; for his parents for awhile, then for wife and children and some of her kin. The world rates him as moderately successful, but his own actual monetary compensation has just about amounted to board and clothes. And at home he hears some complaint because he doesn't do bet ter. You hear much of the joy of service, but sometimes there are two sides.-Atchison (Kan.) Globe.

Russian Peoples Gall.


 There is, moreover, a voice calling for these definitions of principle and of purpose which is, it seems to me, more thrilling and more compelling than any of the many moving voices with which the troubled air of the world is filled. It is the voice of the Russian people. They are prostrate and all but helpless, it would seem, before the grim power of Germany, which has hitherto known no relent ing and no pity. Their power, appar- ently is shattered, and yet their soul is not subservient. They will not yield in principle or in action. The conception of what is right, of what is humane and honorable for them to accept, has been stated with a frank ness, largeness of view, a generosity of spirit and universal human sym pathy which must challenge the aG- miration of every friend of mankind and they have refused to compound their ideals or desert others that they themselves may be safe. They call to us to say what it is we desire, in what if in anything our purpose and our spirit differ from theirs, and be- live that the people of the United States would wish me to respond with utter simplicity and frankness. Wheth- CT their present leaders believe it or not, it is our heartfelt desire and hope that same way may be opened whereby we may be privileged to as- sist the people of Russia to attain their utmost hope of liberty and ord cred peace.
 It will be our wish and purpose that the processes of peace, when they are begun, shall be absolutely open and that they shall involve and permit henceforth no secret understanding of any kind The day of conquest and aggrandizement is gone by; so is also the day of secret covenants entered into in the interest of particular gov ernment and likely at some unlocked for moment to upset the peace of the world
 It is this happy fact, now clear 10 the view of every public man whose thoughts do not still finger in an age that is dead and gone, which make it possible for every ration whose pur- poses are consistent with justice and the peace of the world to avow now or al any other time the objects it has in view.
 We entered this war because viola ions of right had occurred which touched US to the quick and made the fife of our own people impossible un- less they wore corrected and the world secured once for all against this recurrence.
 What we demand in this war, there fore, is nothing peculiar to ourselves. It is that the world be made fit and eafe to live in: and particularly that it be made safe for every peace loving nation which, like our own, wishes to live it's own life, determine it's own institutions ba assured of justice and fair dealing by the other people oi the world as against force and selfish aggression. All the peoples of the world are in effect partners in this interest and for our own D. we sec very clearly that unless justice can be done to others it will not be done tc us. The program of the worlds peace l therefore, is our program, and that

You will find it less easy to uproot faults than to choke them by gain ing virtues. Do not think of your faults; still less of others faults; in every person who comes near you look for what is good and strong !; honor that; rejoice in it; and your faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes.-Ruskin.

I listening in fact to both unreconciled
 and in open and hopeless contradic-
 tion? These are very serious and pregnant questions. Upon the answer
 to them depends the peace of the
 world
 But whatever the results of the par l Ieys at Brest-Litovsk, whatever the
 oonfusions of counsel and of purpose in the utterances of the spokesmen
 of the central empires, they have again attempted to acquaint the world with their objects in the war and have again challenged their adyersaries to say what their objects are and what sort of a settlement they would deem just and satisfactory. There is no good reason why that challenge should not be responded to and responded to with the utmost candor.
 We did not wait for it. Not once, but again and again we have laid our whole thought and purpose before the world, not in general terms only but each time with sufficient definition to make it clear what sort of definite terms of settlement must necessarily spring out of them Within the last week Mr. Lloyd George has spoken with admirable candor and in admira- ble candor and in admirable spirit for the people and government of Great Britain There is no confusion of counsel among the adversaries of the central powers, no uncertainty of prin- ciples, no vagueness of detail The only secrecy of counsel, the only lack of fearless frankness, the only failure to make definite statement of the ob- jects of the war, lies with Germany and her allies. The issues of life and death hang upon these definitions No statesman who has the least concep- I tion of his responsibility ought for 9 moment to permit himself to continue this tragical and appalling outpouring of blood and treasure unless he is sure beyond a peradventure that the ob- jects of the vital sacrifice are part and parcel of the very life of society, and that the people for whom she speaks think them right and impera- tive as he does

LABOR
AND CAPITAL AGREE
Strikes Are Ended, All Dis
putes to Be Settled by War
Labor Board.

WASHINGTON, July "A labor arbl-
trat!on policy of wide significance In its
bearing on the relation OF great indus
trial employers to the!r employees when
the war work Of the nation is involved
has been worked out by the National
War Labor Board for the great indus
trial and munition district OF Bridge
port. Conn.
The policy involves the fixing OF
single set Of working conditions and OF
wages for the same grades OF work
with ell employers and all employees
on the same basis. all agreeing to ac-
cept the awards of the National War
Labor Board in any dispute. Its adop-
ton Is a direct result of the willingness
OF the employers to meet n national
situation In patriotic manner and
cease all struggles between employer
and labor during the period OF the war.
The entire system OF Industrial re-
lations In bridgeport, where millions OF
cartridges for the army. much Of the
small arms and a great quantity OF
other munitions are made. Is affected
by an agreement signed by all the en-
ployers and the unions and announced
by the War Labor Board to-day.
The agreement provides that all ques-
lions affecting labor shall be placed in
the hands OF a section of the NATIONAL
War Labor Board and that all decisions
made shall constitute a binding agree
ment on all industries in the Bridgeport
district. 1t was a direct result OF hear
ings b. the board on the strike OF 10. 900
skilled workers last week.

strike made known their belle. that II

ing conditions was made in favor OF
machinsts and some other skilled work,
ers In restricted number OF plants
The employers felt tina; the other work
ers would formulate demands OF their
own to meet the situation. possibly in
yolving other strikes and further unrest
They asked that the board extend its
inquiry to cover the entire district and
that its award or decision be made
applicable to entire Industrial life OF
the community. This suggestion was
approved by the board and the inquiry
is 10 be continued.
The board asked that certain employ
ers cease keeping a blacklist and that
men who had been discharged for be
longing to the union be reinstated, as
this was opposed to the principles OF the
board. This the employers agreed upon
Other grievances which created gem
eral unrest in Bridgeport throughout a
more or less belhgerent six months, dur
in; which time several strikes occurred,
concern wages and the right OF the
workers to participate through chosen
representatives in a Redistribution of
employees in various plants. 1t is COM
planned by the workers that wages are
not SUFFICIENT to meet the cost OF living
Those who are organized contended
also that the employers should not arbi-
trarily set up classifications of work
and wages.
All of these questions will now be de-
cided on the basis OF the principles and
policies OF the War Labor Board.
