~ disproved and another German
n plagiarism demonstrated. For
years 1t has been asserted in
the land Of kultur that\England even
had to borrow her national anthem,
God Save the King" from Germany,
and that the air to which Americans
sang "My Country Tis of Thee"
taken in turn from Britain, was the
dproduction of a German composer.
To Capt. Perry Belmont, U. s. A.,
is due the credit for disproving this
assertion, showing beyond shadow of
doubt that the air was composed by
a French musician. the original words
written by a French woman, and
practically the entire song, words as
well as music were stolen by Ger
man contemporary.
After consulting many authorities,
Capt. Belmont has clearly proved that
Lully, the famous French composer
the music; that Nine. de Brinon wrote
the words, and that Handel, the Ger
man composer, who has been gem
orally credited with the authorship of
the anthem, really appropriated 1t.
Perhaps the most convincing link
IN InC Cnaln OF eVtuenCe WH1Cn capt.
Belmont has produced appears in the
memoirs of Nine. de Chequay, which
cover a greater part of the eighteenth
century. the period in which the tune
was composed. The author speaks
of the deer impression the anthem
made. upon her when in 1914 she heard
it sung by the nuns of the convent of
Saint Cyr. They sang it whenever
King Louis XIV appeared in the
chapel of that institution. She further
adds that If her grandson. to whom
the memoirs are addressed, desires to
obtain the words and music he may
easily do so, as Handel, German
composer, during visit to Paris, OBJ
tanned permission to copy both.
Various authorities tell how Handel
dedicated the composition to George.
Elector of Hanover, who became King
of England in 1914, and to whom the
German composer was capel- meister in
Hanover.
If further proof of the authorship
were needed it is to be found in the
Souvenirs de la Marquise de Crequy
in the form of statement signed by
four nuns of Saint Cyr. They fully
confirm her assertions regarding the
associations of both Lully and Handel
with the anthem.
The original words contained in
the Crequy memoirs are distinctly

In one party not long ago was a
jolly man and a ruffled-up woman,
both as to manners and dress. Her

of diamonds on both bare hands. With
her fairness and fatness went q still

One Of the first cases to come be-
fore the board for solution involved
the question as to what constituted a
living wage. In a Pennsylvania in
dustrial city common laborers were
being paid 22h cents an hour. They
demanded 80 cents an hour and
threatened to strike unless they got
it. The board was called in, and after
a thorough investigation awarded the
workers a raise to 40 cents an hour.
ten cents an hour more than they had
demanded. The board decided that 80
cents an hour was not living wage
under the conditions existing In that
city.
This decision involved the defini-
tion of a living wage" something
upon which there had never been any

adequate food and clothing. burial
outside of the potters field, medical
treatment other than at free disptn-
saries and freedom from dependence
on child labor. To this definition the
members of the board representing
both employers and employees gave
full assent. and never again can It be
successfully contended that anything
less Is enough for even the commonest
of labor. This decision alone Is suffi-
cient to make the present year not
able one in the annals of labor.

Having organized the machinery
for the work ahead Of it. the first step
by the board was to call a CONFER
ence in Washington of the representa-
tives of labor and capital. They came
here antagonistic and suspicious and
convinced that the differences be-
tween them were well-nigh irrecon-
cilable. In the discussion Of these
differences many of them were found
to be more imaginary than real. All
the differences were not solved by any
means, but the way to a solution was
in sight when employer and employe
were able to agree on a declaration Of
principles. This industrial compact
is to endure for the continuance of the
war. but the majority of the princi-
piles set forth are as applicable to
peace time as to war time, and having
found workable, 1t Is not likely they
ever will go into the discard. Even
If capital and labor were disposed to
abandon them at the termination of
the war. the American people never
would give consent.
The declared principles applicable
peculiarly to the war period are:
That there shall be no strikes or
lockouts during the continuance Of
the war.
That the status quo as to unionism
and the open shop shall be maintained
during the war.
That maximum production in war
industries shall be maintained.
That there shall be no avoidable
delays to production or any unneces-
sary increase in its costs.
Other principles agreed upon and
enunciated by the board in it's ca
pacity as government agency are:
The right of workers to organ
ize and bargain collectively is at
firmed.
No employe shall be discharged be-
cause of trade union membership or
lawful activities.
There shall be no coercion to COM
pei workers to become members Of
trade unions.
Women doing mems work shall re-
ceive equaTpay.
Women shall not be assigned tasks
beyond their strength.

nized where the law requires it.

realities. Things for which labor has
contended and struggled for years

opposition-are being granted it as

never before. capital and labor are
sitting together at the council table
!. and the differences between them are

how much each may take and how
little each must give. but on the basis
of what Is fair and right.
No one believes the Industrial mil

labor disputes today and there will

stimulate production. went into the
