MESSAGE To LABOR

Iiberty-loving citizens. and particu-
larly the workers OF this. country. to
see to it that the spirit and methods
of democracy are maintained within
our own country while we are engaged
in a war to establish them in interna-
tional relations.
The chief responsible agents of
the government have shown a desire
to be fair and an understanding of
the human elements involved in this
problem. The organized labor move
ment has also shown an equally
broad understanding and grasp of the
situation"
American labor's position in peace
and in war" adopted at a meeting
of labor representatives here last
Marchc u, which was approved by
the recent Buffalo convention of the
American Federation of Labor, was
referred to by Mr.. Gompers, and
the declaration of labor's position,
adopted at the Buffalo convention, re-
ferring particularly to wage sched-
ule changes in various Industries, was
embodied in full.
"It Is difficult to conceive" he con-
tinued, "a more serious responsibility
than that which rests upon the or
ganized labor movement Of our coun-
try, and upon the great rank and
file representatives.
Labor organization must be un-
dertaken." he said, with greater in
tensity than ever before. Organiza-
tion is the cornerstone upon which
workers must base all of their plans.
upon which the government itself
must rest its labor policies, upon
which all can serve in a triunph
for justice. for freedom, and for world
democracy"

The Kewpies are unlike anything
which has come from the pen of any
artist-the idea being entirely origi-
nal and Miss O'NeilIs very own, and
she also writes the clever verses which
tell what Is left untold by the draw
ings. Those who do not enjoy the do
ings of the Kewpies are getting old.
And, by the way, 1t is interesting
to know that the Kewpies are more or
less an accident, like lots of other
good ideas. Rose O'Neill, an illustra-
tor. just happened to draw a fat little
rascal one day and the children to
whom she showed the little fellow
liked him so well she had to draw
more and more, and then she had to
invent stories about them, and-thus
came into existence the Kewpies. Miss
O'Neill called her creations "cupids. "
for lack of a better name. but one
inspired youngster, much like a Kew
pie himself, being unable to say
cupid" christened them "Kewpies"-
and the name stuck after Miss O'Neill
had discovered that she had started
something which was decidedly mar
ketable.

"Kewpie" series, will be In full COL

War Department Considers Using

IBy Associated prcs,.,


WASHINGTON, February 23.--While
War Department officials rciterate that
no date has definitely been fixed for the
calling of tho second draft for tho
National Army. all available outward
indications would seem to point to
some time during the month OF spril, or
at the latest. early in May.
Such an estimate is based on the
known preparations for equippinS and
housing the men. 1t is no military Sc
cret that equipment and supplies for
men of the second draft will become
available soon after April I. and care
full observers look for tho first incrc-
ments to be called soon nfterwnrd.
The number of men to be called in
the first increment has not yet been
determined, because the question Of
housing them has not been disposed
or. There will be room for some OF
them In camps and environments now
occupied by troops. and it is possible
that additional environments may have
TO be provided. 1t is also possible that
some of the National Guard camps may
be used during the period.
This phase OF the subject is being
given careful study. but nothing has
been decided.
