SCHWAB'S AID AT SHIP INQUIRY
SAYS WORKERS MUST LEARN
VICTORY DEPENDS ON THEM.

Washington.-"You can commander
workingman, but you can't make
him work."
That maxim was given the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee in.
vestigating the shipping situation a
efw days ago by ]. w. Powell, one IF
Charles Schwab's "young men,. With
out gray hair, and his face still boy
ish, Powell is the actual head of the
Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation,
Ltd, with half dozen plants on both
coasts-the worlds biggest shipbuild-
ing concern.
Powell declared that because Of
the labor situation, it would be all but
miraculous if America built 3,0OO,O0O
tons of shipping in 1918, as against
an official estimate of 6,000, 900 by the
Shipping Board. He said:
IT have heard Mr.. Garfield say coal
will win the war; Mr.. Hoover, foo
Mr.. Daniels, the navy. Here's what
will win the war:
"Men!"
"Laboring men now are where they
think they can get whatever they
want. And they are about right.
"Let the Government fix good, fair
rates and let it be known that they
won't be changed for six months.
"You can't get much work out of
men who are thinking of nothing but
mere pay. They know if they raise
little trouble they'll get the raise. So
what do they do? Naturally, they
raise trouble"
Powell declared President Wilson
and all officialdom down the line
should unite in pressing home to. Ia
borers that they were the real pyra-
mid base of the war. He said:
''Put on a campaign that will make
all political campaigns look piccayun-
ish. Get down to rights with him,

with "God Save the King, The Of.
ficer declares there was not a tremor
in any voice and he said the singing
reminded him much of that of crowd
Of young men gathered at,night about
a campfire on a hunting expedition.
There was. no bragadocia in what
these men did. They were facing death
and they realized IT, They4knew how
slim their chances Of life would be if
they were thrown into the sea and
caught in the vortex of the sinking
ship, or were compelled to swim for
hours in the icy waters. But. they
were there because of a great pa
triotic duty and they spent what
might have been to hll and what were
to many the last moments Of life in
rending the anthem of the land in de-
fense of whose flag they would die.
Does any Kaiezriedsland militaristtic-
debauched German believe such men
can be conquered by the mule disci-
plined soldiers Of Ia despot? Not
much. There has never been any ac-
count of a crew Of d German submar-
inc singing "Der Wacht Of Rhine" as
their vessel went down to the depths
Not much. There has never been "a
story told about the crew of one OF
these vessels lining up on the deck al
"attention" while the mel1 awaited an
unknown doom. But there have been
instances in which crews threw theil
officers into the sea. That is the diff.
ference between men fighting for prin.
ciple and men fighting in fear. The
first intelligent; the other animal.

CHINESE FOR
FARM WORK

The Chinese government, the Pacific
coast states, nor the labor unions will,
neither Of them, become enthused ov-
er any suggestion to bring Chinese
workmen to this country whatever the
emergency. Should, however, the war
continue for Two or three years longer,
just that thing may be necessary and
desirable. At the time the Union and
Central Pacific lines were creeping
westward to form our first transc "a
tinental railroad, that construction, so
greatly needed, would not have been
completed for years but for the thou
sands of Chinese. With hundreds of
thousands Of foreigners already gone
across to join their various colors. and
several million of our own men in the
service here and abroad, and other
millions engaged in the manufacture
of army and naval supplies, the drain
on our own man power will be felt.
It might be advisable to bring in say
SOC, 200 to work in our mines and on
our farms, and thus maintain proi.,::,
ton of these two essentials at high ef-
fiiciency, for only the duration of the
war. AS soon as our own men were
mustered out and munition w:r;,s
closed, they could be returned; in fact
that problem would solve itself, Tor
very few Cinnamon care to stay here
permanently, and having amassed the
few hundred dollars which makes
them independent for life in their own
land, they would have no incentive to
remain here any longer than. their
contract required. They are b b'th
:,caceable and hard workers ard would
solve The question of two most vital
industries, and without displacing any
American labor whatever. By paying
them the wages standard in mining
and farming, there would be no occa
sion for dissatisfaction on that score.
AS conditions are likely to be; it is not
a question of getting cheaper labor,
but labor at any price. The question
of transport might not be ar easy one,
but way can be found even for thai.
Since the above was written the Ma
tional Council of Defense is credited
in the papers with the statement that
on account of the shortage of help, it
may be necessary the coming summer
to utilize the labor Of as many women
as possible in farm work.
That the patriotism Of the Ameri-
can woman will carry her into the
fields to do as much of mans work
as she is physically able to accom-
plish, there can be no doubt whatever
There is likewise no doubt that she
ought not to do so to the extent sug-
gested, if any reasonable substitute
means can be found.

FRENCH FIRE 5000 SHELLS
). 5@ AT FOE IN Is MINUTES


Grand Headquarters of the French
Army in France, Feb. 17.-More than
5000 shells of every calibre were
launched by the French batteries in
fifteen minutes in preparation for a
trench raid northeast of Courcy, north
west Of Rheims.
A small party of infantry selected
for this operation went over the top
at the appointed hour, but not alone,
for the spirits of French troops were
such that many others, even orderlies,
accompanied them across the churned
ground.
Every trench was found leveled.

DRAWS
LARGE CROWD
DEBATE BY HAMPDEN FARMERS
CLUB DRAWS BIG CROWD SAT.
URDAY--LEAGUE WINS.

The debate which was arranged at
.the meeting Of the Hampden Farmers
club two weeks ago, came off on sched-
ule time Saturday afternoon, with the
hall packed full of interested specta-
tors. The standing room only sign
was hung out long before the open
ing Of the argument.
The question, Resolved, that the
Non Partisan LEAGUE, under the pres
ent management, is detriment to
states" proved to be a good subject
for debate, both sides putting up some
excellent arguments. The decision
went to the negative by q vote of two
to one.
The affirmative side Of the ques-
ton was upheld by o. N. shipley and
A. M. Crary; Ole Dahl and w. P. Folk
argued for the negativec. The judges
were Isaac Ackre, Ole Fykes. and F. L.
Rarteau.. n the absence Of Charles
Conway, president Of the Farmers
club, K. B. Williams acted as chair
man. -
Space will not permit us to go into
details or the good and bad points of
the argument of each individual.
There was good sound reasoning from
both sides and was cause for some
thought on the part Of the judges, be-
fore making their decision.
Surprising ability in the handling
Of the SUBJECT was shown by the de-
baters. The manner in which each
brought out their points showed that
a large amount of thought and study
had been given the subject.
The Hampden High school, at the
close of the debate challenged the
Farmers club to a debate on the fol-
lowing question: Resolved, chat in
North Dakota, the patronage OF mail
order house is detrimental to the best
interests of the state" The choice OF
sides is left to The club. The matter
will no doubt be taken up at the cub
meeting Saturday, and if at all pos
sible the challenge will no doubt be
accepted.
After the debate several of the la
dies Of the Red Cross served lunch a.

WILLARD FIRE =
STILL MYSTERY
Short Circuit Theory Now
Discarded Entirely No
Clues Whatever.

The cause OF the Ere In the palm
room Of the New Willard Hotel early
yesterday morning stiI remains a
mystery. Manager Frank Hight
stated last night that neither him
self nor any guest or employe Of The
hostelry had the remotest idea how
the blaze originated.
The theory that the FIRE started
from faulty electrical connections
has been discarded entirely. Man
ager Hight stated. however. that
there may be something In the theory
that a lighted cigar or cigarette may
have started the conhagrsuon, al
though there Is nothing TO substsn-
tate it. Neither has there been an
accurate estimate Of the dana 20
done. although Mr.. Hight remarked
that the figure would not reach tho
hundred Thousand dollar mark. The
hotel authorities have not yet had
time 10 take inventory and reach
figure representing the actual dam
age.
Although smoke filled practicable
every room in the building. there -
little or no evidence or after cf-
fects" Of the excitement OF yestor-
day morning, except in the palm
room. where the ceiling is discolored
and the windows broken and the eN-
pensive carpet stained and almost
ruined. The balance OF the big hotel
is as orderly as usual
Due to preCaUtion on the part q
Manager Hight and the police de-
partment, the deserted rooms were
very well guarded. The entire build
ing was policed in a thorough man
'ner and aside from the inconven-
ience OF smoke and noises made by
guests who we're aroused from the >
sleep. the hotel patrons were not an
moved worth mentioning
