The conscription OF wealth to pay

ment for worklnsmen IN industry were
declared to he the two outstanding
features OF the programme OF the
British Labor party for reconstruction.
in the course OF an address yesterday
at the Ethical Culture Meeting House
by Arthur Gleason, n writer on eco
nomic and social questions.
This war has just seen tho con-
scriptlon OF population in great

British Labor party contends that
property is no more sacred than life
and can be conscripted to meet the
common good. They advocate the

DISCHARGED MEN TO.

Salute Officers.

CAMP DIX, n. j.. Dec. Freed from
military regulations by their discharge,
1000 members of the Tank Corps. de-
mobilization OF which began to-day,
left Camp Dix with a new unwrltten
law, adopted of their own volition, to
the effect that as long as they wear
the army uniform during the four
months limit for discharged soldiers
they will conduct themselves according
TO army standards. They will continue
70 salute commissioned officers during
this period.
The movement, It is hoped by the
ex-tankers, will spread to every de-
mobilizing unit. Military leaders here
say the new idea" is a splendid dem
onstration of the fine morale OF the
American soldier and "A splendid trib-
ute to the officers OF the corps under
whom these men trained.
There's nothing strange about this
idea Of honoring the uniform until you
take II on" said a departing Califor-
MAN tanker. I'VE came TO fight; We
didn't get the chance. but we glory in
the achievement OF our army. and II
would be a pretty poor specimen OF
American manhood who would not de-
sire to conduct himself as a soldier as
long as he is In uniform. AS TO salut-
ing commissioned officer. the dis
charged men OF the tanks will consider
that a privilege as long as they car
wear their uniforms"
Announcement by the War Depart
ment that the Fiftieth Infantry, Regu-
lar Army, will be transferred from
Camp Sewer to Camp Dix within q
few days has aroused much interes'
among officers here. II Is believed the

HOLMES CALLED TO CHICAGO.
Pulpit of DR.. Jenkin Lloyd Jones
Open 20 New York Clergyman.

The Rev. John HAYNES Holmes at
the Church OF the Messiah announced
yesterday that he had been called TO
Chicago by the members OF All Souls
Church to take the place OF the late
Dr. Jenkin Lloyd Jones. He said that
offer included the pastorate Of the
church, the direction OF the Abraham
Lincoln Social Centre and the editorial
management of Unity, the liberal re-
ligious weekly.
Many members OF the congregation
urged the minister not to accept the
call, and he promised to consider the
proposal and to make answer within a
short time.
DR.. Holmes spoke upon the subject
Of "a World Peace or a World Pur-
pose, Which Shall 1t Be-" He said
that the pacifist no more wanted the
rule Of a tyrant than the militarist
but they differed as to the method OF
preventing such a contamination. He
said that II the pacifists had been in
the majority the war would have ended
in three or four months.
"The pacifists," he said. would moi
have fought Germany with arms, but
on the soap box and from prison cells
Those who fell would have beeen mar
tyrs in the cause OF humanity"

The city of New York starts In to-
day as n retailer of cold storage eggs

lower than the prevailing retail rate.
DR.. Jonathan c. Day, Commissioners
of Public Markets, purchased 1000
cases OF eggs (2,520.00O for the city
last spring and still has about 5000
cases G,S00.000 eggs) left, all OF
which are to be disposed of at the
public health stations and public mar
kets. The commissioner believes the
sale of these eggs and future sales
by the city Of eggs will have the eff
feet OF bringing down the price all
over the city.
Men in the egg trade. however,
make no bones of their belief that DR..
Days eggs will not make much Of a
dent IN a market where $4,000 or co.
000 cases Of eggs are consumed each
week.
The city's eggs. according to DR..
Day. will be retalled at n price which
will cover the original cost, freight
and storage charges and ! per cent.

KneeI Next TO stokers."

Capt A. s. b. Carpenter. commander
Of the Vindictive when 1t stormed the
German held port OF Zeebrugge, spoke
yesterday at Trinity Church TO large
congregation on The Power OF Re
ligion In the Navy"
He said that the Church of England
had a chaplain on every ship, and that
a chaplain of each of the other de-
nominations was assigned TO every
squadron. Capt. Carpenter attributed
the success OF the British Navy and
It's splendid morale to the influence OF
religion.
There often came times, he said.
when Admirals knelt In prayer next
to the stokers, ana this evidence that
they were equal before God and were
fighting for a common cause had a
striking effect upon the officers and
the men.
The Rev. William T. Manning D. D..
rector OF the parish said thai a debt
of gratitude was due the British Navy,
without which the Germans would
have won the war.

The door to the last room opening
on the hallway was open and the
young scout glanced in as he went by.
On the bed, with a revolver IN her
hand, was Miss Pauline Suckfelt, a
domestic, employed by the boys par

for the last few days.
The boy scout stepped into the room

arms about her and then drove
through the little fellows neck.
Mr.. Seyfried was awakened by the
shot and the wounded girls cries. The
boy was only partly conscious when
his mother reached the servant 4

In the hope she would rekindle his love
for her and that he would return.
