letted, and there was no place
where the tired troops just off the
steamship could be housed. The
nearest city was fifty miles away.
The only chance was to lodge
them at an immense hotel. This
was crowded with guests. The Y.
NJ. c. A. secretary upon whom de
vOlved the necessity of finding
quarters for the soldiers had to
think quickly.
He went to the maritime gov.
ernor and told him that he would
like to lease the hotel. For some
reason the officials declared this to
be impracticable.
"Then we'll buy the botel," said
the "Y" man.
"HOw about the guestsi" asked
the official.
"Tbe ga" secretary made ar
rangements with each of the
guests, all of whom patriotlcally
waived their privileges and went
by rail to the distant town where
accommodations had been arrang
ed for them by telegraph by the
"Y" man.
"The Y. NJ @ A. will continue

WHO'S RESPONSIBLE

Some people are made to be soldiers,
The Irish were made to be cops,
Sauerkraut was made for Germans,
And Spaghetti was made for the
W0ps.
Fish were made to drink water,
Bums were made to drink booze,
Banks were made to hold money
And money was made for the Jews.
Everything was made for something.
Yes; everything, even the miser.
God made Wilson to be president,
But who in the hell made the Kaiser!

WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT!

The city Of Oakland. California
recently witnessed the disgracegul
spectacle of $500, union boiler max
srs and iron shipbuilders. striking
and tying up construction work on
some &c ships for two DAYS. as.

due under = government award In
February. ct which time the men
agreed not to strike during the war
but submit their troubles TO aroi-

The word Of tho government was
behind the whole proposition but
the men struck anyway and have
futther notined the government and
ship yards that they VIM strike
again August Z unless matters ar
settled to suit them.

These men have soft jobs at home
at big pay and the time has arrived
to call q spade a spade.
Action such as theirs in the army
would have been called desertion,
and the offenders would have been
severely dealt with. An individual
who would delay construction on
&c ships for two days to the great
aid of the kaiser, would have been
called traitor.
AS an American citizen you can
classify the action Of strikers in q
case like this to suit yourself.

SOUND POLICIES.

A candidate for governor in a
western state advocates the follow
ing sound principles:
The bringing of the producing
power and the development Of the
resources up to the maximum by as
surfing capital that there will exist
in the state a stable and settled con-
dition among our industries and en-
terprises SO far as is the power OF
the governor to do SO.
The inducing of labor to come
into the state to aid In increasing
the products OF the state and devel-
oping it's resources by the assurance
of labor that the chief executive
will safe guard their rights and
promote their interests to the full
extent Of his power and at the same
time promote friendly relations be-
tween employer and employee to the
end that strikes and Industrial dis.
orders may be diminished.

en- to British and French as well as
American hospitals and some times
two weeks elapse before the names
Of the wounded are reported. But
they are correct. They give the
names received that day by the de-
partment.
Take the casualty list published
today-821 names the largest
since the United States entered the
war. and multiply it by thirty. the
number Of days in the average
month. and it gives total Of al
most $4,000 for the month.
British troops stood the brunt Of
the fighting in the drives made by
the Germans since March FL, until
the Americans entered in force. and
British casualties have rum from
10000 to $4,000 for the months
that have elapsed since the great
German drive began. America, the
last great power to enter the great
fight whose first troops landed in
France 13 months ago and have
been in the real fighting only since
March, is not SO very far behind
Great Britain in point of casualties,
II this list should prove an average
for the month. ~
Take the list for the last three
days as an average and we find that
they were 70e. f498 and S21; or q
