He said that he did not believe that

There were two things, however,
he declared, that might be expected

concerns for which labor worked. He
said that the proflt-sharing plan had
been given a bad start because II had
been misused as a weapon against
organized labor, and that some other
solution would probably have to be

In no other way. he said, could

He pointed to the labor agreement

GERMANS PLANNED

WITH RESERWSTS

The conquest OF Canada by the $780,

a part OF the German worldwide plan
OF conquest, Earl z. sperry, professor

day told the Senate judiciary subcom-
mittee that is considering the King
bill to dIsband the German-American
alliance.
Reading from . book written By
Carl Junger. published in Germany
in 1915, Sperry said q considerable
portion OF one chapter was devoted
to this plan. The cooperation and as
sistance OF America was to be
sought, according to the author. En-
phasis was laid on the fact that the
long Canadian frontier comprised the
most vulnerable line In all British

erican forces come under their rules

The British believe in giving their
men a stimulating drink now and
then. and there may be no way OF
distinguishing between our own forces
and the British in this respect. But
ali these things must be brushed aside
in an emergency which Is the greatest
OF the whole year.
Need Of Them Paramount.
1t may be impossible for our men 70

American army under different cir
cumstances. but the need for men 10
paramount, and the hope Is that as
soon as there is a lull in the fighting
next summer and British re-snforce-
ments come up. the American troops
can be withdrawn to their own main
organizations.
But aside from the fact that the
American forces, by being for the
present brigaded with the British and
French, will strengthen the resist
ance to the German super-drive, speed
in training troops will be one OF the
most beneficial results OF the move.
Unavoidable Delays.
Hitherto when the transports were
unloaded many regiments waited
until other regiments arrived-some-
times period OF six weeks-before
the entire division as organized in
the United States could arrive and be
trained as a unit Now a transport
carries several battalions and the
American forces are put into the line,
battalion by battalion. II Is exactly
what the United States would do II

by American commanders.

May BE Other Chnnges.
There may be other changes die
tated by emergency situations. The
British premier says significantly:
are being made for
the fighting strength OF the American
army to be brought Immediately to
bear in this struggle, which il only
now beginning, to this extent, and II
is no mere small extent that the Ger

The history of the negotiations for
the adoption and manufacture OF this

procrastination and indecision too long
