FOREIGN TRADE
WILL GOVERN
PROSPERITY
Champ Clark Makes This
Statement in Address Be-
fore House Today.

Baltimore, Dec. 9.-America's fu-
ture prosperity rests in large measure
on the increase Of its foreign trade,
Speaker Champ Clark of the house of
representatives said in an address
here today at the opening Of the an
nual convention of the Southern
Commercial Congress.
1.-THE one problem resulting from
the war with which the Southern
Commercial Congress is most con-
cerned is what arrangement will be
made touching the freedom of the
seas" said Speaker Clark. when but
a handful, for the freedom of the
seas we fought the most powerful ma
tion on earth. Last year and this we
fought the central powers for the
freedom Of the seas. Now, after all
is said and done, that is the chief
reason why we participated in the
war.
I'VE can depend upon President
Wilson to secure freedom of the seas
at the congress Of Versailles. In that
connection the principal question with
which this commercial congress
should wrestle is how to increase our
foreign trade. for upon that rests in
largest measure the future prosperity
of this republic"
The immense merchant marine
built up during the war should be
maintained forever, Mr.. Clark de-
clared.

Declares Ex-Enperor Was
Nothing But Tool of Mill
tary Party in Germany.

London, Dec. 9.-Maximilian Hard
en-, editor of the Zukunft Of Berlin,
said to the correspondent Of the Ex-
press, according to a dispatch from
the German capital, that the impress
sion abroad concerning former En-
peror William is false one He said
that he, himself, had suffered too
much through the former emperor to
incur charge of Partially, but that
it was fact that William Hohen-
zollern had no personal part in willing
the war, but was q tool in the hands
OF the military party, by which he was
regarded as coward.
when the moment for declaring
war came, the militarists were afraid
he would refuse to sign the declara-
tion," said Harden. 1.-The former en-
peror missed his vocation. He was
never happier than when posing in
the limelght. He ought to have
managed cabaret or taken a show
on tour. He was great Snowman"
Declaring that he knew when
America came into the war that Ger
many would be beaten, Herr Harden
said:
II fought with the censors to tell
the people this, and when President
Wilson published his ii points I ad-
vocated their acceptance because I
knew we could not get better or more
favorable conditions"

GOOD WAGES
FOUNDATION
FOR HEALTH
This is the Statement Made
by A. E. Holder in
Address. 4

Chicago, Dec. Good wages gen.
orally mean good health according to
Arthur E. Holder member of the
Federal Board for Vocational Educa-
tion. The higher the wage the bet
ter would be the health of the en-
ploye and the greater his output, he
told the American Public Health as
sociation today in an address in which
he advocated an eight-hour day and
increased wages.
Mr.. Holder proposed that the fed
eral health agencies be concentrated
into one department with a secretary
at it's hand and that the secretary
should be member of the presidents
cabinet.
Panics, said Mr.. Holder were
brought about more by inequitable
distribution Of wealth than by any
other cause. He quoted statistics to
show that in 1850 the wage Garner OBJ
tained % Ia cents Of every dollars
worth of value he created, but that in
1910 he got only 16 1-2 cents. He
added:
Formerly when the laborer got %
cents in wages for each dollar of his
product, panics occurred about once
in twenty years, as witness 1887, 1857,
1877. Since real wages shrunk to 16
cents on the dollar, panics roll around
more frequently as the record shows
1884, 1894, 1907. 1914. .,l
Nothing influences our individual
health more than severe changes in
our economic life. During busy
periods workers are literally rushed to
death. During panicky periods, the
workers and employers spend a large
part of their energy fretting their
lives away"
"Since the union cigarmakers
adopted the eight-hour day in 1886
from twelve to fifteen years have been
added to the average life of the cigar
makers" he added. Similar expert
ences have been recorded by other or
ganized wage earners. The workers
realize that health is their capital
To keep health or improve health
means increased power to produce"
The speaker then gave labor pro-
gram for health and safety which in
cluded the following provisions:
Continued agitation for a shorter
work day to a maximum of eight
hours for all manual toilers; demand
for higher minimum wage for al
labor: release from work at least one
full day in seven; elimipation Of the
sweat-shop system; enforcement OF
rigid child labor laws; abolition of
night work by women and minors;
equal pay for equal work regardless
of SEX

GERMANS ARE
CORDIAL
TO THE ALLIES
British Soldiers are Surpris-
ed to be Greeted in
Germany.

London, Dec. 9.-The German pop
ulation west of the Rhine becomes
more cordial in its attitude toward the
British as Field Marshal Haig's troops
move eastward, according to an un-
dated dispatch from the correspond,
ent Of the Daily Mail with the British
army.
"As we approach the Rhine" the
correspondent says, "our reception be-
comes more surprising. The authors
ties in such places as Duren say un-
disguisedly that they rejoice at our
arrival. They give two reasons for
this. that they are afraid of their own
people and are afraid of starvation.
Many men confess that the end Of
the war brought such relief that the
stigma of defeat weighs little. Chill
dren sometimes cheer our arrival.
"The revolutionary movement is
real, but not much on the surface.
The outbreaks during the first few
days were suppressed by the retreat
ing army which is much less Boil
serves at the bases. I have seen
many German soldiers in uniforms
shorn of badges. They are demobil-
lied but they have no civilian clothes
to take the place of their uniform.
'The armed men guarding the arms
in the barracks talk without rancor
of their experiences in the war
against both the British and French.
An overwhelming desire for peace
makes Of these soldiers a strong in
strument of social solidity, at any rate
for the time being.
Danger signals are received at
times and on occasion cavalry and
machine gunners are called for by the
Germans for fear generally, think
exaggerated fear, of Bolshevik out
breaks of Russian character.
