fighting unless their aid Is absolute
~ necessary.

The recent fighting IN Flanders has
furnished many unusual and trying
experiences for civilians Living hear
the front, but none Of these was more
amazing than that of two Siny French
children who are in British military
hospital These tots were among the
few unfortunate persons IN NeuVe
EEliso when the Germans overran that
place. The town Immediately became
a storm center, which was continual
ly changing hands, and German SOL
6uers took these two babies Into
trenches for their protection.
During counter-attack. the British
stor7ned and captured the trench.
They found the little ones SAFE and
sound and brought them back. The
children had been living lnder terrific
gunfire, and how they escaped death
cannot h. accounted for.
Another French baby Was found ny
two English siC:..-ilnCn at another
place. AS tho CHI nad no protection
the soldiers took II with thesn to their
billet in barn. That night tho sig
nalmen went to sleep with tho baby
between them 60 that no harm might
come to It. German ahmen bombed
tho barn and bUti! tho "TonmieS'
were killed. The CHILD escaped injury
and later WIS rescued By other SOL
oilers.

.KAISER'S TALK
Is CONDEMNED
Socialist Deputy Criticises
Insistence on Victory
For German Arms

Amsterdam, March /. ~ In Tues
days debate on Chancellor won
Hertling's speech in the German
reichstag, Philip scheiGsmann,
Socialist. took the emperor TO task
for his reply to the address OF the
burgomaster OF Hamburg I'm which
the emperor said. I'VE desire 70 live
in friendship with neighboring peo-
pies, but victory for the German
arms must first be recognized.
we have heard recently. said
Scheidemann, "of the speech In
which II was said the world must
first recognize us as victorious. Not
for a long time have we read any
thing the tone OF which was SO dis
pleasing and the contents so un-
polite. Perhaps 1t is 10 the point TO
recall that all parties, including the
conservatives, in November, 1908,
recommended somewhat more reserve
in that quarter. In times when there
is talk OF peace, words from an
authoritative source should be very
carefully weighed. A great part OF
the people whom we represent do not
share the views uttered fin that
speech, but on the other hand
enerEetically repudiatc them.
Herr Scheidemann declared that
attempts to conclude a peace on the
west such as that with Russia would
prove a trial OF strength dangerous
for Germany. The world would 20 to
sleep with rifles in hand, BolshevilS
dreams would be realized and world
revolution arrive
our military advance against
Russia evoked vexation in Austria
Hungary, the majority OF whose peo-
pie are quite openly hostile 70 us, he
declared.
Herr Scheidemann said in conclu~
sion:
The imperial chancellor frankly
stated yesterday that he accepted
President Wilson's four principles.
This declaration Is all the more inn
portant when one considers that
President Wilson emphasized that
his principles were accepted every
where except by the German military
and anneXationist party. Well. this
party, fortunately, Is In this country
no longer OF decisive Importance.

.GOMPERS PLEADS
FOR 0-HOUR DAY
Labor Will Sacrifice Every
thing For Government;
Nothing for Profiteers

Chicago, March 1.-SamueI Comp
ers, president Of the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor made a stirring
appeal yesterday i'm behalf OF an
eight-hour day for employees In the
meat packing industry at the stock
yards wage arbitration. He APP
peared as a witness for the employees
and his testimony was eagerly lis
tened to by Mother Mary Jones, an
organizer for the United Mine
Workers, and several hundred other
representatives of organized labor
from all sections of the country.
After tracing the history OF the
fight for a shorter working day from
its beginning, he read from a num-
Der of reports and quoted various
large employers Of labor to sub
stantiate his contention that the
had proved profitable to the en-
ployer and highly beneficial to the
men.
In defining the attitude of or
ganized labor toward the war. the
witness said:
Labor will make every sacrifice
for the successful prosecution Of the
war, but IT will not make any sacri-
fee for private proflteering during
the war"
II advocate the eight-hour day on
the ground OF economy, health and
morals" he said. MEN should only
be required to work overtime in
times of the greatest emergency or
for the protection Of life and prop
ertv. That is why we demand time
and a half for overtime and double
pay for holidays"
