could speak truthfully, in describing

General Foch's Rules.
New York SUM

Read thoughtfully this brief rule
written by General Foch for the con|
duct of infantry and light artillery
attack in modern war:
""They march straight at their aiS1f
seeing their objective. They hasteH
their steps as they come closer, pre<
coded by a violent fire, helping themt
selves by their shooting to take the
enemy at close quarters, 1eaping oveI
the first positions, throwing then1{
selves upon the ranks of the enemy
and settling the fight with cold steeIs
by mere weight of bravery and will
power. The artillery helps, keeping
pace with them, supporting them
and covering them"
Then read closely accounts OF this
advance of Franco American infantry
and light artillery as they attacked
the Hun between the Aisne and the
Marine. Was ever precept more PERI
feCtly carried out by practice?

IMPORTS FREE OF DUTY.
CF'rom the New Haven Union.

(From the New Haven Union.)
The monthly summary of foreign
trade just appearing for April shows
that on $2,362,45O,O worth of goods
imported for the 10 months of the
fiscal year ended April 30th, 73 per
cent. came in free of duty, observes in
exchange. The average duty rate on
all imports for the period was 6 per
cent, the lowest in the history of our
trade, the amount received from GUS
toms being $142, 474,000. Partly and
wholly manufactured goods to the
value of $496, 100000 ond foodstuffs
to the value of $1,141, 100000 came
in without paying red cent of tariff,
and the only reason the farmer was
not induced to burn his corn for fuel
as he did in the early nineties was be-
cause of the world demand for food
stuffs But how about after the war?
Preliminary reports indicate that our
total imports for the fiscal year ended
June 3Oth, totalled $4,000, 100000 in
value. of which about rs per cent.
came in free of duty, the total customs
revenues for the fiscal year being
SLIGHTLY under $3.50, 100000. For the
fiscal year 1913, the last under the Re-
publican protective policy, imports
paid s31S.OOO, of customs duties

imports for consumption was IS per

the present law.

British Labor.
New York Times. }


The British munitions diSDute has
nothing to do with overworking or
underpaying labor. The grievance
alleged is that the government has
no right to limit the employment of
labor in any shop or trade and has
nothing to do with the payment of
wages above the Standard The
strikers complain that the proposal is
about the same as Industrial con-
Scrlptlon, and against that all labor
IN international organizations is set
IN opposition. The situation is so
serious that the ministry on Sunday
night issued a formal statement:
The ministry cannot carry on the
supply Of munitions to the troops
without the embargo in cases where
its need has been shown and with
out reasonable power to distribute
skilled labor according to vital war
needs
The threatened strike, it had been
pointed out was not an ordinary
trade dispute, but an attempt to
overthrow the policy of the state at
a time Of national DANGER
Perhaps more strikers are out in
this country than threaten to go out
in England In ten industrial centers
in two states $1,000 workers on war
work are idle. Perhaps the worst
single strike in principle, if not in
numbers involved, is in the electric
industry at Lynn, where the men
stopped without the presentation of
grievances. Whatever the grievance,
a strike in that manner is not to be
condOned. In the shoe trade a war
bonus of twenty per cent was report
q TO III hut vii
that is to say, to about three times
as many as struck. This infamed
condition of labor exists before the
enforcement of the plan that labor
must be recruited through the gov
eminent, with certain exceptions,
small establishments being perhaps
the chief. The Interpretation of that
is that labor shall not seek more
than the standard wage, and that
employers shall be restricted in pay
ing more than the standard. Thus
labor is experiencing what capital
long ago discoVered-that the fixing
of a prescribed rate of payment
amounts to the establishing of both
a maximum and a minimum in the
same figures, whether the enact
ment be in one form or the other.
Labor has long sought the estab-
lishment of a standard wage without
the fixing of a standard return for
the wage. Now labor makes q griev-
anCe of the fact that it Is held us d
maxim UNI to the standard which it's
sought. The war labor policies board
announced yesterday that it is seek
ing to establish for the nation the
same standards that have been set
in specific trades by labor bargains,
but solely as a war measure. Trades
will not be allowed to compete with
one another for workrlen, and non
war businesses will not be allowed to
overbd employers on war work.
Wage bargains hereafter are to be
tripartite. alike in England and the
United States. No longer will labor
bargain alternately with employers
and with government. Government
takes both workers and employers
into the original conference, and will
enforce the agreement thus reached
The question recurs in this country
as in England-wi1l labor abide by
it's bargains?
