THE BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS

of the levees-with here and there a
uniformed American soldier.
Toward this motley force was
marching Pakenham at the head of
nearly $1,000 men-"regulars," all of
them-veterans of the Napoleonic
wars.
The British batteries opened fire on
the cotton bale breastworks and PAX
enha mgave command for a charge.
The final and most dramatic scene in
the dreary drama of the war of 1872
was set. One Of the strangest battles
of history was beginning.
AS at Bunker Hill, the rabble army
behind the breastworks did not reply
to the enemy's bombardment nor to
its first rifle fire, but lay snug be-
hind its intrenchments and waited. The
American works were silent; appar-
emily deserted.
On came the British, puzzled by
such tactics, and amused at sight of
the homemade barricade. On they
marched, up into easy short range
Then came the first American volley.
1t was a ragged, uneven, scatter
ing volley; not to be compared in style
to the flawless British method of fir
ing But every man who fired had
picked out his mark before drawing
trigger. And every man who fired
was backwoods sharpshooter, who
could hit flying partridge. at ninety
yards. Scarcely shot in that irregu-
lar volley failed to find its mark.
And now the American were fol-
lowing up the first fusillade by a
steady hail of fire-they were firing
at will" and with Workmanship that
Europe had never known.
Calamity the British pressed on to
the attack in face of that awful blast
of death. Steadily as machines they
loaded, aimed, fired. But the best ma
chine is of little use against a man
who tries to blow it up. And at last
human courage could endure no more.
The redcoats wavered, fell back in
good order, then retreated faster, and
finally scuttled in every direction in
panic rout. Pakenham fell, mortally
wounded. The ground was thick-piled
with British dead. And still that ter
rife firing from the motley American
rabble scourged the redcoats on.
The British ran to their ships in dis
order and put to sea, leaving behind
them l,S00 dead or wounded. Jack
son had lost just thirteen in dead or
wounded. We had thus lost at the
rate of one man to every 1873 English.

glorious victory, was arrested and was

given by craftsmen to the essential
details that go to make them prof.
cient, many preferring to occupy their
mind with matters foreign to their
work.
Another is the indifference of both
journeymer and apprentices in many
instances toward being proficient.
Ambition is q necessary essential to
success; without ambition it is rea-
sonable to assume that no one can or
will become proficient or efficient to
any marked degree, especially in .
printing establishment where brains
and ambition go hand in hand.
The above conditions do not exist in
every establishment as a whole. but
there are many, and a great many.
too. where it does exist in either one
or more departments. 1t is not my de-
sire to be misunderstood or that an
improper construction be put upon the
discussion contained herein, and l
trust it will be interpreted and con-
strued as applicable to the productive
departments of our industry. The OBJ
servation of the writer has been, how
ever, that much said herein is more
prevalent in both the pressroom and
the composing room.
The question may be asked: what
is the remedy for such conditions
The true remedy is genuine ambi-
ton in the individual and n sincere
desire to successfully accomplish his
undertaking.
Another thought comes to mind and
that is 4 technical course in whatever
branch one may be engaged. For in
stance, IL one chooses presswork rs
his vocation correspondence or prac-
teal course in this branch would prove
Of inestimable value in succeeding as
it would enable him to overcome many
obstacles that would otherwise be difii-
cult without such knowledge. The
same is certainly true as regards the
compositor, the linotypist, the book
binder, and so on. While this method
Of technical education no doubt would
be construed as applicable to appren-
tices, but the writer is Of the opinion
that there arc numerous journeyemn
in every department who should take
such course and thereby better equip
themselves in many little details that
would prove Of great value and bene-
At to them in their work.
i am strongly Of the opinion that a
still greater benefit can be extended
our various branch apprentices and
the younger journeymen thru a means
Of joint elementary tuition. have
reference mainly to the departments
Of presswork and Typography, as
these branches are more intimately
associated together, therefore each
craftsman should be more familiar
with the working and construction de-
tails Of each other. There are many
pressmen who are woefully lacking in
simple dcatils Of composing room
and the same 10 true Of compositors
as regards the pressroom. This lack

be a wise and sane move upon the
part Of our several international bod
les to inaugurate some method where
by pressroom apprentices would be
taught few lessons of details that
pertain to the correct locking Of
forms, the care OF type, leads, brass
rule, furniture, etc. The same meth
cd Of instruction would be as essen
tial and beneficial to the apprentice
in Typography, as there are many
things an apprentice in the composing
room could be taught in the press
room that would rebound to his bet
terment and competency as jour
neyman compositor. This method of
help but improve the knowledge and
efficiency Of the individual and the
branch Of industry he represents.
When we become thoro in our line
Of duty there will be little to fear of
inefficiency.
Systems are necessary in any bus
mess to be successful. They are es-
sential. for thru these methods are
determined the efficiency Of the crafts
men by their productive output and,
likewise, profit and loss.
Suppose, then. there be lack of
system outlined by department
knowledge or cooperation to carry out
executive? What then? Well, that
is a condition that eventually termi-
mates in financial disaster.
Ambition is the forerunner to prog
ress. success and efficiency. Without
ambition we become dormant.
Are you ambitious? II so, use this
priceless heritage to its fullest ex-
tent. Don't become Stacker or a
drone whatever your forte in life
may be.

NEW PRIORITY RULES.

That there may be no undue delay
in coal companies receiving mine sup
plies, as tools, materials, equipment,
etc, the government will consider ap-
plications for priority orders on such
shipments. Roy A. Rainey of New
York and David Bush Of Chicago have
been appointed to the production bu-
reau to take charge of priorities of
mine supplies. They will work in con-
nection with the war Industries board
and see that coal production is not
lessened by reason Of needed material
or equipment.
II has been further announced that
new rules governing the issuance of
priorities in the supply of fuel to in
dustries and plants on the preferred
list are in effect. The preference list
is complied and governed by the prior
tiles board, of which H. G. Phillips is
secretary.
The change in the rules is made to
simplify the administration of prior
tiles and to give greater assurance
that war requirements will be met.
The two fundamental changes are:
First, the addition Of class d (which
formerly corresponded to class c. and
the making class C entitled to prece-
dence. Second, the establishment of
an automatic rating.

How often have you heard the words
efficiency and "co-opcration" dis
cussed and applied as n necessary es-
sential in the conduct Of n successful
business enterprise venture to say
that they have been heard many more
times than needed or applied. with
especial reference TO the several de-
partmcnts Of printing establish-
mcnt. Hundreds Of employees have
never given these utterances serious
thought, and many are utterly ignor-
ant ms to the meaning or definition OF
the terms. Webster defines "efiicien-
cy' ms "the ratio Of useful work to
energy expended" and Cooperation
MS "the association OF n number OF
persons for their common benefit" An
analysis of these words will show con-
clusivcly that many of us are woe
fully lacking in their application, not
because we are unable to apply them
in our several departments but mere
ly because of nm indifference toward
the betterment Of our own welfare and
that Of our employer.
We should study every detail per-
taining to our branch OF work and
occasionally take an inventory OF our
selves and sum up our profit and loss.
By so doing we can easily determine
our weak points and adopt some other
method by which we can overcome
them. While experience is the best
and most practical teacher, yet by OBJ
servation and close application to n
we'll defined and determined plan to
become more efficient in our tasks we
will not fall very short Of high de-
gree Of efficiency.
We should ever keep in mind, how
ever, that the efficacy Of cooperation
is indeed necessary to combine every
element that tends to or makes for
efficiency, therefore the relative elc-
ment Of efficiency is cooperation.
To become efficient one must needs
be prepared to apply in n measure his
or her part toward this goal. 1t takes
ambition to become efficient; slack
or is never efficient.
Let us ask ourselves this question: !:
"Have we properly prepared our
selves, or endeavored to do so. to
meet the many diversified require
ments that go to make uss proficient
In our vocation 7"
The writer Is inclined to believe
that the majority Of us have not.
Why? There are several reasons in
the opinion Of the writer. One being
that too little thought or attention is

MAXWELL OWNERS
 ARE ON WARPATH

The big chief of the Maxwell own CTS tribe has called his warriors to- gether and is preparing 9 declara- tion of war. Twice within the past six months sponsors of other cars have boldly asserted their car has broken a record which the Maxwell made. Twice these sponsors have been greatly mistaken. for the rec ord books of automobiledom state III plain language that the Maxwell holds both the worlds nonstop rec ord and the speed record for a run from Pittsburg to Philadelphia.
 So the members of the Maxwell clan are going to keep an eve opel. for any other false claims, and it is said that the 100000 Maxwell owner boosters in America will descend en- masse upon the neck of the next fel- low who claims falsely to have grab bed a scalp from the Maxwell's belt.
 The latest claim to a Maxwell rec ord was made by the boosters for a car selling at three times the price of the Maxwell. The statement read: "A Maxwell touring car covered the 300 miles il. 9 hours and 2S minutes.

Misleading Slogans

Do more than your share" says motto printed in The Republican yesterday morning. Do your bit was a good slogan because it short Also when it was coined in England the bit of each seemed to be sufficient. But it is hard tell what Dit is. Equally difficult is it decide ones share in the War is. Do your best" the right slogan. SWe all know what best means We all know, or ought to know by this time, that we will win the unless We do best and not an indefinite bit what the individual may decide is his just share
 There is another inadequate. misleading slogan, Food will win the war" There is nothing be said in it's favor except that brief Against fact that is positively dangerous. We have plenty of food by conservation and increased production That is an easy way to win a war-just have plenty of food. people could be made to believe that and we have doubt many have been made to believe it. they would cease worrying and regard the already won The fact is food will not win this war any other war The truth is that food necessary only to the winning of the just guns and ammunition are essentials
 Other loose statements or epigrams have heard are the last bushel of wheat will win the war; the pound of meat will win the war" That would be true in contest for starvation only, where the .beligerent nation which would have bushe of wheat pound of meat left after the complete exhaustion of the enemy would survive But other things beside starvation will contribute to the end of the war and it is in doing share in bringing those things about that must do not only bit or share but best
 There must be no let up in the conservation and the production of food for without food for ourselves and the allies, there can be no hope winning the war. But it will be sad day for this country and the allies considerable part of should tt believe that food alone will win the

We had thought before, but had neglected Inowledging kindly seasonal greetings which have come to this office as suppose to most other news paper offices in the land from the various organiza tions which engaged in one way and another, in assisting the in the conduct of the war or in preparation for the The men at the heads Of these organizations are giving their time and it is valuable freely this service. It is such service as the government could not buy at any price, So prize these greetings
 There was time when the popular idea of the press agent who with cigar or pass to The circus purchased his way into the editors sanctum and favor and thus obtained space in a newspaper that would otherwise have cost him large sum, Practically there a good deal of truth in the popular impression for the press of the odtime variety had to be a good mixer
 But times have changed and while the press sgent has by no means disappeared from the surface of the earth he, of him. has come to realize that at least way in which to secure newspaper space is to furnish the right kind of material This applies with special force the propagandis the,an who has some sort of educational campaign to conduct.
 The United States government these days, and various organizations, many of them volunteer orsan zatons, of persons who anxious to do their bit in helping to win the war have entered the of those engaged in conducting such educational campaigns by press agent methods In fact with regard to gov ernment activities it may be said that the engaging of press agents by it largely response to demand by the newspaper editors who found spending demands made upon them.
 Never did press agents conduct educational campaign under favorable conditions. When the public demands to be taught and the editor throws open the columns of his paper in patriotic yielding such demand the conditions, from the press agents point of view, may be said to be millennal.
 Nevertheless the courtesy that pressed in the form of cigars circus passes has yet disappeared from the press agents makeup. It has changed its form of expression, that is all.
