TIL UilIITIIIVHLO IMU0Tr rHT
SAYS PREMIER LLOYD GEORGE
Washington Post.

/ "usnluslou TU5t.
Premier Lloyd George has made an
other valuable contribution to clear
thought and energetic purpose in his
statement that Germany must pay for
the cost of the war to the limit of her
capacity, and that the perpetrators OF
murderous crimes in this war are to be
apprehended and punished.
The Hohenzollerns are the chief
criminals. They are temporarily in
termed in Holland. They should be
delivered over to the allied govern
ments for trail and punishment. The
allied governments will surely demand
the surrender Of these criminals and
will proceed to try them with justice.
No pretext set up by any faction in
Germany should be permitted to de-
prive the civilized world OF its right
to pass Judgment upon these Grim
inals. Germany cannot be depended
upon to deal out justice to the Hohen-
zollerns. There would either be mob
violence or the criminals would be
spirited away The Hohenzollerns
have committed a 4heinous crime
against Germany, and richly deserve
trial and punishment therefor. but the
chief complainant against them is civ
ilization, and the proper tribunal for
their trial is the Judgment seat of the
nations responsible for maintaining
civilization.
Diabolical crimes. blacker than any
cruelty ever contemplated by war.
have been committed by Germans.
Magyars. Bulgars and
Turks against the bodies of individuals
of the allied nszsaIh ne persons
who committSd s{tese crimes are be-
yond the pale OF the war or treaty.
They are enemies of man, who must
perish in order that mankind may
not suffer further. The murderers OF
women and children, the submarine
and aerial demons who slew the sick
and wounded, the fiends who tortured
prisoners in Germany, Austria, Bull
garia and Turkey must be brought to
the bar of justice. It is not for the
sake of revenge that they must ex-
plate their crimes. but for the. sake OF
such atrocities hereafter.
Society cannot survive if ii forgives
Tie criminals who seek to destroy it. (
The punishment OF crime is the only
method by which humanity can keep
down the evils which beset it. When
individuals have cast aside all respect |
'or the most fundamental impulses of
humanity; when they have deliber
ately gloried in divesting themselves
of any sentiment except that of ex-
terminating other human beings. their
own lives are forfeited to humanity,
Their existence must be snuffed out
as soon as the facts have been estab-
lished.

LABOR SERVICE
GOODIN WAR
tny United Press,

Washington, Dec. S.-What the
United States employment service has
accomplished in its existence of less
than year as a war organization, en-
trusted with the gigantic task of fur
nishing the nations labor supply, af-
fords some measure of appreciating
the magnitude of the effort this coun-
try made in winning the war.
Ships. coal. food munitions, all were
needed in vast quantity and at once.
The manpower of the nation had been
depleted considerably through enlist
actually was organized. All kinds of
industries were crying for help. Farm
ers needed men,ato raise the great
crops that must feed America and the
allies and factories needed men to
build the great guns that were to blast
the foe out of France.
Last spring. ships were perhaps the
most immediate need. There we're
rather less than 100000 shipbuilders
in the country. and four times that
WCfC nCCQt-ti at Tie otdtt l.
Carpenters. blacksmiths and other
craftsmen who had had experience
along lines somewhat similar to the
building of ships We're brought into
the work, and the ships were finished
ThesEfsk>6f training these men for the
highiyespecialized jobs of shipyard
work was not small, but they were
rounded up by the employment service'l
and the training began.
Farm labor WIS the next really big
problem. The farm labor organization !
of the employment service recruited |
an army from everywhere and sno-
where. 1t took old men who in the |
ordinary course of events would have
taken no part in the harvest bur who, !
to show their patriotic devotion to the I
nation. gladly returned to the harvest
fields. Ii took boys Of high school age,
and they gave the finest kind of vol
untary service. 1t took ministers, law
yers, clerks, vacationists of all kinds !.
who were glad of the chance to get /
into the country, gain recreation and
make money. meanwhile doing a high |
Iy effective work in the solution of
the war labor program.
The harvest army move steadily
MOI Inward, once, it was organized
early in the season, and the great
American wheat belt was covered |
thoroughly. Canada's wheat was
saved, and later the great army of
migratory workers moved back irto
the States to gather the corn crop. The /
army was not, of course, held intact |
all season; its makeup fiuctuated !
widely from week TO week. and day I
by day. But the ranks we're always I
kept closed. AND it made its way /
steadily onward to victory.
The munitions shortage was always !
at hand Army construction jobs al
ways needed men. Skilled and un- !
skilled workmen alike were in con-
stant demand.
The employment service found the
men for the $4,000 Jobs that simply
had TO be done. and munitions never
was halted for any appreciate time.
Coal was another serious need. Here
the employment service did one of its
best pieces of work. 1t located for
mer miners. scattered throughout the
country. and induced them to return
to their old jobs in the mines until
the nations wartime fuel reeds were
satisfied.

report
An average of 80 people a day are
stepping up to the counter, putting
down a dollar, and asking for a Red

In this way Rock Island is showing
its patriotism. This is the spirit
which has enabled Rock Island to
contribute 10,600 Christmas members
TO the 20.0OO,00l in the United States.
Another example Of patriotism is set

by the Rock Island Turner society
which yesterday contributed IS to the
local Red Cross chapter.
H. s. Cable, chairman OF the MEM
bership committee OF the local chapter,
today issued the following statement
concerning the membership campaign:
ut seems as though people have
come to realize that the Red Cross
membership campaign Ii still on, This
Is evidenced by the fact that every
day large numbers are applying at the
Red Cross headquarters In the State
bank building. for membership or to
renew their old membership. 1t seems
there was a failure to understand on
the part Of many that even though
their old memberships had not expired
it was desired and hoped that many of
these would renew now SO rs to carry
them through the year 1918 and SO
they need not be solicited for renewal
before the next Christmas campaign.
Getting New Ones.
Many who have not been members
AIRED also realizing that it is up to
them to join the organization and those
in this class make quite large per-
centage of the ones taking out men,
herships. The division manager of the
membership campaign as well as the
local representatives Of the Red Cross
are hoping that the next week or ten
days will add largely to the number Of
memberships secured during the in
tensive campaign at Christmas time"
