TO WORK IS DUTY,
TO LOAF IS TREASON
Department of Labor Rep
resentative Makes This
Statement to Shipbuilders
NOON ADDRESS
AT HARLAN YARD

James L. Rodier. OF the Speakers
Bureau Of the Department OF Labor
addressed several hundred Harlan
workmen today. following the noon
day band concert at the plant
The speaker dwelt chiefly on the at
tendance OF the men and despite the
rain that fell throughout the speaking
the shipbuilders listened with Interest
He urged the men to work steady and
in part said:
"Oh, you men the second line Of de-
fense, without your hearty co-opera-
tlon our lads over there will have sac
rifced in vain and the probable scene
OF the next great conflict Will be on
American soil Do you wish TO see
New Jersey, Delaware a.. Maryland
another Belgium? Would you trans
fer the battlenelds OF the Balkans TO
Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi? Sure
ly not And yet you Will see those
very horrors unless the artisans OF the
United States, the builders OF ships and
the makers OF all the essentials OF war
fare wake up and determine to produce,
not TO limits OF human endurance, but
all that may be produced In the reason
able work day that now obtains.
I'VE have no fear OF those we send
abroad, we have no fear OF the great
majority Of the workers at home, but
Il Is the minority who are slackers,
men who work when they feel so dis
posed and loaf when in the mind to.
who are cause for national concern. Not
that the Government cannot bring them
TO their senses when the time comes.
Don't forget that But we craftsmen
have a pride in our respective callings,
and we want no slackers in our ranks.
"And another thing: In the west.
where the art Of shipbuilding has just
been established, they have so aroused
the spirit Of the workers that they are
making records IN teamwork and ship
production which threaten TO eclipse
the East and take from us our glorious
traditions Of craft leadership and trade
supremacy.
"Wil you permit the slackers and
pink slippers TO ieopardize those things
which we hold dear?
II do not believe u. Let US get busy,
cut out careless slsckerism and round
up the slackers, who have no love for
this country. To work Is duty, to
loaf is treason. There Is no middle
ground"

PLANES COMING TO
CARRY 100 persons
Caproni Predicts That They
Will be Made in America
in Three Years
CAPACITY TO
BE 100 TONS

PARIS, July 30.-"Airplsnes carryins
a hundred men and equipped with en-.
glnes equal in power to those in a me
dium sized steamship Will be develop
ed within three years." said Glanni Ca
pronl, inventor Of the Capronl womb
ing planes in an interview yesterday.
"The bombing planes now in use.
Signor Caproni continued, "will bt
mere dwsrfs compared with those tc
be developed. There is a surprise In
store for the Germans. Instead Of tbs
forty and fifty machines necessary tc
start on a bombing expedition IL will
be possible to do the same work with
q new machine as powerful as the
whole squadra1.
"1he new machines will be much
more efflcacious, and Will prove a great
saving in operation. A trip across the
Atlantic could be accomplished with
the present df- machines during July
august and September, and probably
October. The weather situation would
be unfavorable during the other
months Of the year. heavy fogs make
aerlal navigation impossible. Aviator;
are unable TO guide themselves in a
fog, as II makes everything black. A
trip across the ocean at this time
would have to be made by way OF New
York. the Azores and Portugal.
Liberty Motor VIII Do.
The development OF an aerial code
similar to the maritime code will be
necessary before there can be general
aerial navigation. There must be inter
national signals like those at sea, aerial
laws and a whole volume OF reg1la-
tions for aerial transportation.
THE quick development OF larger
machines is inevitable. At the begin
ming OF the war the largest bombing
machine was OF iO0-horsepower. Now
the largest bomber is Of 1000 horse
power.
THE Liberty motor VIII do. We want
them now In large quantities. ] have
seen them work and they are satisfac-
tory for bombing machines. Finer en-
gines made with more intricate and
specialized parts like a watch cannon
be made in quantities, but the Liberty
motor can, which Is a big advantage.
War OF the future lies in the air,
for when the big commercial planea
are developed they can easily be turn
ed into fighting machines with power
ful offensive propensities. England was
able to defend herself with large
navy, but II will be necessary IN the
future for nations to have large aerial
forces.
Looks TO America.
"BattleshIps will be no match for the
new aerial machines, which viii revo--
lutIonize warfare both on land ana
sea. The activities Of the fighting
forces will be transferred to the ar
Armies and navies will be unable 10
battle with the immense bombing ma
chimes Of the future.
THE world will look to America foI
great developments in aviation because
She has unllmiated resources, wnile
European countries are Impoverished
bv long years Of despoliatiOn and de-
struction. America will manufacture
large commercial machines. They Will
be speedy and able to carry hundred
tons instead OF a thousand pounds as
now"

A glass bar set vibrating lengthwise

Is, II the number of vibrations becomes
great enough. And the hardest metals.
such as iron and steel, will break like
glass under the rhythmic shock Of Oft
repeated feeble blows. For this rea-
son when regiments march across a
metal bridge they are always ordered
to break step, in order that the impact
OF their feet may not set up rhythmic
vibrations in the structure.
Many persons who have d mania for
explaining in a materialistic way all
the wonders related in the Bible have
conjectured that when the walls of
Jericho fell under the trumpet blasts
OF Joshua's army these were keyed to
set up in the walls precisely the vibra-
tons that would shatter them. And
1t may be said that this explanation is
by no means confined to materialists,
for this very opinion was held also by
the old Jewish rabbits, as well as by
st. Augustine. st. Jerome and st. Am
brose. But Father Athanasius Kir-
cher, s. j.. in his learned treatise, "Afu-
surgia universalis' (book Ky, showed
the fnsufficiency of such physical ex-

and ever since the Germans dug them

disclosure that some 1900 Hollanders
are working at Essen In the munition

food. What they find in reality and
how next to impossible It is made for
them to return to their own country
Is thus told in the HOllander's words:

ever think Of returning there after his
