LABOR LEADERS,
FOOD CONTROLLER
Successor Of Lord Rhondda Had
Humble Start and Hard
Road To Travel Over

LONDON, August So--( Associated
ess)+-FfJaek" Clynes, as J. r,
Clynes, England's new food controller,
is. called by old comrades, is weIpknown
in the>United States where he has rep
resented the British Labor Party. at
various international conferences. BY
birth and work he is q man of the
people. Lord Rhondda, his predecessor,
was a grocer son. Clynes is the son
Of a laborer.
He is a bright, rather understood, de.
licate-1ooking man OF" DO His frail
physique is probably the heritage. Of
hard labor in boyhood, for he began
at the age Of ten in an Oldham mill.
Out of his mcagre savings he paid
for course in q night school, and IL 10
told of him that once he was on the
point of being discharged by his mill
boss for being found buried in an Eng
lsh grammar while at work. When
still in his teens, a press biographer
relates, he bought a secondhand diction-
airy and spent several months copying
1t from beginning to end. In this way
he acquired the vocabulary which he
used with remarkable precision in his
public speeches The books he studied
were the works of economists, phil
osophers, poets and dramatists. Car
lyle, Mill, Shakespeare and the Bible
were his chief delight.
He became known as "boy oro-
tor". A friend relates this incident:
"Clynes and an Irishman used to 20
together to the seclusion of a spacious
quarry, rude and wind-haunted, and
there practise upon each other the art
of public speaking"
At twenty-five Clynes was the or
ganizer for the Lancashire district Of
the General Workers Union" and his
success was such that he made a name
in the labor. world. For a long period
he has been the president Of the Ma.
tional Union of General Workers and
chairman of the National Federation Of
Laborers' Unions, which represents
$4,000 workers. He has represented
British labor interests in Canada,
France, Germany, Holland and other
countries.
He was elected to parliament from q
Manchester district in 1906, and four
years later he became ivce-chairman Of
the Labor Party in the house Of com
mons. Appointed Parliamentary Sec
rotary to the Ministry Of Food a year
ago, he at once won the respect and
confidence of the controller and became
Lord Rhondda's chief lieutenant.
A writer in the Observer speaks Of
Clynes as British labOr's intellectual
lamplighter.

Prepare For the Drive

DEFORE each offensive and before every phase
- Of an offensive the fighting forces in Europe
make their preparations, they take stock of and
concentrate their forces, their supplies and their
resources. And the military does abroad so
should the civilians do at home When the soldier
goes over the top he exerts every ounce of energy
he possesses he must do so to win. The time is
coming for the folk at home to every ounce Of
energy that they possess for the United States
will, at the close of the month"; launch its greatest
drive, and the people Of Hawaii nei to be called
upon to go over the top. On September % the
nation will start the campaign for the hotation of
the largest loan in its history.
Before launching an offensive the fighter does
not give way to doubts and to fears. He knows
his strength will be taxed to the limits of endur-
but he prepares to stretch that endurance.
So in Hawaii and throughout the nation the
watchword must now be loan to the Limit "
Hawaii is going over the top. 1t can do so, it is
expected TO do so and it will meet expectations 1t
will not be easy but it must be done and that
which must be done can be done.
After attending a national Liberty Loan CON
ference, George A. Van Smith, manager of pub
licitv of the twelfth federal reserve district, in
which Hawaii is inclined, sounds a ringing call to
the people of the district in issuing the following
statement:
on doing it if to support army that is
ySI there and the army that must go in the next
,ew months to make certain that the balance of
man Tower is side" Van Smith. Gap
Ir0ymately one half of the net income of the ma
ti,n for the next eleven months must be loaned to
tie government That is income after the pay
ment of taxes and this means that the heavier bur
den must fall on those with the most money.
The ship building program must be continued
to enable the United States to retain the foreign
trade foothod the war has given us The national
war program and the post expenditures re
qure "a billion dollars for the fiscal year ending
next June, About IS billions must be borrowed
and generally the country is ready.
THE fourth loan will be greater thing than
the world attempted and it must be sub
rcrihed AS to states outside Of California in this
district the managers of the Oregon campaign put-
pose to put over the Oregon campaign in three
days and they believe it can be done without So
lietation The State of Washington committee
believes the campaign will require not to exceed
a week
Y "The educational period for the loans has pass
ed. 1t has resolved itself into meeting duty on the
exact terms of that duty and this can be done with
out any form of the real sacrifice that the people
of England, France and Belgium have had to
make. Such sacrifice as the American people have
to make will be made in profits"

The Week IN the War

( MYTH the I-ys salient practically wiped out
w by the British and with the FrancO-Amer-
troops in positions that virtually flank the
Germ1lS on the Aisne and along the Chemin des
Dan,> ndge and a considerable breadth of cOun-
try swept clear of the foe between these sectors,
the war map of the Western front wears great
change from its aspect of a week ago. Fochs tao
tics, call them nibbling punching as one will,
continue Of tremendous cumulative success He
is keeping the foe guessing and much of the time
Fritz is guessing wrong
For more than six weeks the Allies have been
on the offensive without even much day
of interruption, without anything that has even
rescmbed ul In fact the two main phases Of
the offensive, that from the Marine to the Nesle
and that in Picardy and into Flanders have over
Tapped. In this the tactics of the Allies have
diffcred'radiCally from those employed by the
PruSsan lords in what they were pleased to
call their 'supreme offensive"
The tactics of the Germans took the form of a
series OF tremendous blows, each Of which, until
the final defeat the Marine, carried them for
ward in long sweeps. Between these blows there
came lulls periods that were devoted to prepare
ton, to reorganization, to the bringing up of fresh
forces and the placing OF heavy artillery.
In contrast to this Foch strikes now at one
point again at another and then consoldates all
OF his gains into one advance along front Of
greater or less extent, again consolidating a Sc
ries Of SUCH general gains Thus the reuton gains
seemed of greater extent but by comparison it will
be, that the Allies in less than half the time
employed by the Germans in their drive have re
covered far more than hall of the terrain which the
Germans captured and at a loss far smaller in man
power.
Why is the Allied advance much slower than
that Of the enemy is a question that has been
asked on this side of the water as well as over
seas and the answer is simple. Massing immense
forces in manner which marvelously concealed
their plans, the Teutons crushed into lines of Brit
ish and French that wUcfulIy thin. These
they overwhelmed and swept before them by sheer
numerical weight and at sacrifice of life and body
which no other people would be willing to make

DRAFT APPEAL AGENT
URGED BY WESTERVELT

DR.. W. D. Westervelt, who is a
volunteer at draft headquarters, be
lieves there is absolute necessity for
the appointment of an appeal agent,
such as is provided for in section Al
of the selective service regulations,
which reads as follows:
"To care for the interests of the
ignorant rcgistrants and where
it appears that such persons will not
take appeals, due to their own non.
eulpable Ignorance; to inform them
of their rights and assist them to enter
appeals to the district board; and to
investigate and report upon local mat
tiers which are submitted for their in
vestigation and report by local or dis.
trict boards"
He believes that with the coming
registration of men between the ages
of eighteen and forty FIVE it will be
absolutely necessary to have such an
appeal agent on duty at Headquarters.

ISABEL MAY LOST
IN THE SOUTH SEAS
Schooner On Reef OFF Christmas
Island-Skipper Reaches Fan
ming and Tells Disaster

Advices just received here tell Of
the loss of the Ysabel May, a three
masted schooner, which struck a reef
off Christmas Island August l and was
wrecked. The vessels master, Captain
Henry Jones, reached Pann,ng island
with news Of the loss of his command
August 8 after a week $ voyage in a
small boat manned by three Tahitians.
Captain Jones was suffering from hun
ger and thirst at the end of his peril
Gus trip. So far as is known here the
crew of the Ysabel May is still strand
ed on Christmas Island.
THE ISABEL May was owned by
Father Rougier, French priest, who
also owns Christmas Island. 1t is be-
lieved he will attempt to salvage the
wreck but his success is doubted. -
The loss of the Ysabel May is the
fourth chapter in this year s story of
marine disasters in the South Seas, the
schoOners Baxter, John Murray and
Annie Larsen having been wrecked in
those waters in the past few months.
After a complete overhauling, the
Ysabel May left Honolulu last Spring.
She was bound for Christmas Island
to load copra when she hit the reef.
Captain Henry Jones has had rather
a remarkable seafaring career. He
has figured in a number of wrecks and
during the present war has had one
of his commands captured and sunk by
the Germans and was aboard a steam
err which was torpedoed in the Eng
lish channel.

of the American ExpeditiOnary Forces
in France. Permission to add this
star to this flag was given by General
Pershing.

CRITICS
ANSWERED BY COACH

Baltimore. March 1.-THE attitude
of some Of the rowing folks toward
the selection OF Annapolis as the site
for the big intercollegiate regatta on
May Is has resulted in the Navy peo-
pie answering the criticism.
The following letter has just been
received from Richard Glendon, crew
coach of the United States Naval
Academy:
At a meeting Of the Henley stew
ards in New York on March 2, at
which representatives OF all the lead
ing colleges were present, it was un-
animously decided to hold an informal
patriotic regatta on the Severn river
at Annapolis about May IS. This
decision of the Henley stewards was
enthusiastically received by everyone
who has the interests of the sport at
heart.
In my opinion the Severn river race
course is not equaled by any In the
East, it being ideal for boat racing
In that there is no Objectionable cur
rent at any time and no advantage for
one crew over the other as regards
position. The width of the course and
the depth Of the water make it easily
possible for a dozen crews to row over
the course in one heat. Many times
in the last fifteen years have the
varsity crews Of Yale, Harvard,
Princeton, Columbia, Syracuse and
Pennsylvania raced over this course,
and never have heard any unfavor-
able Criticism regarding the course.
