No BOlSheDism For America

From the New York Herald
The conviction of l. w. w. leaders
few months ago has been followed
by chastened tone among the more
extreme socialists and Bolshevist
agitators, which would seem to in
dicate realization on their part that
the United States has little use for
them or their doctrines. The reason
for this is plain Bolshevism has been
able to gain a hold only in those
countries where the governments had
not at heart the true interests of the
masses of the people.

WHAT ENTHUSIASM CAN DO

The chief problem in the business
world is meeting the great demand for
man power to keep our. industries going.
We now expect to place 100000 men in
France by next June. The places of these
producers have all got to be filled. we
have got to turn out great quantity OF
supplies and munitions to back them up,
in addition to ordinary materials for use
in daily home life. The supplies he army
consumes will represent. far more labor
and material than this number Of men
would use in peace times.
An sources of supply to fill the labor
shortage will be ransacked. Boys, wo-
men and girls, non-essential workers,
each of these sources is problem in it.
self. But there is one great source OF in
creased production. That is enthusiasm
not to be overlooked.
y People can do far more if they feel en-.
thusiastic. No ball game was ever won
without enthusiasm. Under foreman
capable Of arousing the spirit of his men
gang Of work employees will do 80 per
cent more.
Now let us get that spirit into all our
war work. Let us take hold of it in the
way we would take hold to win ball
game or carry an election. Here are our
boys on the verge of victory. 1t needs
long hard pull to put them over, but
we are beginning to see signs Of the end
1t has been broken again and again. Our
boys are just the ones who can do it.
But everyone who is raising food or
making munitions or war supplies, or
producing any valuable essential mater
ial, must put his heart into it. If we will
all jump to our tasks with the determin.
ton to raise our Industrial efficiency
to the highest pitch, the boys "over
there" will take care of the rest Come

"PLAYTHINGS"

That a theatrical sensation Of the
first water awaits the patrons Of the
Lyric theatre Is assured through an
nouncement Of Manager Z. F. Tay-
Tor Of the Rotation Stock company
that he has secured the sensational
drama "Playthings" for production
in the near future.
"Playthings" Is said to be one Of
the mos daringly direct plays ever
written on theme that has occu-
pied the minds Of sociologists and
all students Of life almost. 1t might
be said. since the very beginning Of
civilized society-that Of the double
standard Of morality for men and
women.
Differing directly from the pro-
pagandists Of the stage who, when
they would teach Q lesson, become
prosy and dull. the author Of Play

ma that grips the attention Of its
auditors with the first raising Of
the curtain. carries them along en-
thralled till nearly the end, and
then veritably astounds them with

these startling plays in the strength
with which 1t lays bare the facts
of life and great problem of hui

CONSERVING THE AUTOMOBILES

The War Industries Board has made
drastic reduction in the number of pas
senger automobiles that can be manufac-
tured during the rest of the year. It
seems quite possible that no new pleas
ure cars will be made next year. Auto
mobiles have therefore become one of
the staples OF the nation that must be
conserved like any other. Heretofore,
the majority of automobile owners have
thought little about preserving their ma
chimes.
When you buy house it should last
your family 100 years. A young horse
and carriage should be good for fifteen
years with good care. A piano ought to
last twenty-five years.
But the average automobile is TRADED
of in three years at least, and a great
many Of them 60 ma year. That is not
wholly because new and more desirable
styles come along. A great many of
them under hard wear and rough riding
have developed some mechanical defect.
Much Of this rapid decay could be
saved by more careful handling. The car
that is forced at high speed around cor
ners and over rough roads is subjected
to strain such as no other machinery
ever has to meet.
Many people are not satisfied with q
week end run unless it has covered $50
to 200 miles. If they would be content
to visit places nearer home and run at
lower rates of speed, the life of the ma
chine could be greatly prolonged.
The people who are wearing out their
cars b yfast running and long mileage
are likely to find in a year or two that
equally good machines will command a
very high price. Cars are going to be-
come scarce. Those who want to keep
running them and have them in good
condition without paying exorbitant
prices, should nurse along the old car
very carefully.

DEATHBED REPENTANCE

There are many evidences of death
bed repentance in Germany. In consider
ing these we must take into considera-
ton the well established fact that a death
bed repentance is too often no repentance
at all when the patient gets we'll.
The Berlin Vorwaerts gives evidence
OF the new feeling that is sweeping over
'Hunland. We quote from the Vorwaerts:
I, "The empires policy, which was wrong
before the war, is calculated to leave Ger
many is too proud to admit that force is
unequal tt. some situations. She thought
such admission a sign Of weakness. Let
AS admit without shame Germany's dan
ger, then friends will flock around us.
1t we continue the old policy, history viii
say that when Germany WAS in peril her
policy deprived her Of friends"
It is remarkable for Hun paper to adj
init that anything is wrong in Hunland.
The Vorwaerts has previously found
some things to criticize, but never before
has it been quite so frank as it is now.
The deathbed repentance is further ev-
ldenced by an article appearing in the
Munich Nachrichten. One of the things
Germany was accused Of for years be-
fore this war began was her remarkable
commercial practice of dumping goods
IN foreign markets to steal trade and
ruin business Of competitors. BY doing
this she also tore down high wage and
working conditions in those countries.
Germany now offers to discontinue
this, if only the other nations will stop
their march on Berlin and agree to peace
terms. From the Munich Nachrichten,
we quote:
NThe dumping method, which consist
ed in selling at high prices at home, to en-
able us to play the cheap Jack abroad,
has been too long followed. 1t is an un-
clean form Of competition, which must
be publicly disowned and branded as
wrong and as piece of dishonorable
dealing"

ich to Berlin, and Bavaria isn't Prussia,

WAR PROBLEMS&ARIuLLERY
DEVELOPMENT

AT the beginning Of the war the French
pinned their faith primarily on their
light and very. mobile guns, while the
Germans relied more upon howitzers and
other very heavy cannon. Without the
latter they could never have smashed
their way so easily through the heaviest
defences of Belgium and France.
1t would seem as if our allies had more
than caught up with them on heavy guns
now. During one recent month the Brit
ish alone located and knocked out 1882
German batteries. During the same time
the Germans succeeded in silencing but
TAB British batteries, and many of these
were able very soon to resume fire.
In earlier trench warfare there would
be from four days to two weeks of in
tense artillery preparation before begin
ming any infantry attack. The enemy
trenches would be completely pulverized
chaos Of shell holes, when the infantry
was sent over. The result merely was
that the enemy had plenty of time to
rush reserves to the spot. The Germans
simply fell back into the trenches be-
hind and little was gained.
Now the attack is not always preceded
by any special artillery preparation. If
there are lines Of wire entanglements,
Lights guns may discharge shrapnel timed
to burst just above the ground, SO as to
cut the wire without tearing up the
ground much. Where the ground is all
torn to pieces by heavy artillery, it makes
it very much more difficult for the at
lacking force, and it must be harder to
operate tanks. s. sag
The German attacks of March 81 and
May II made great use of light mo.
bile mortars, with a range Of only threa
fourths Of a mile, firing high explosives
tins short distance with deadly effect.
But while light guns have thus figured
more largely in recent fighting, we shall
need some big fellows when it comes to
great fortified towns like Metz.

How to Help Win the War

l can help win the war by not

we go to the store to buy candy
we should think of the French boys
and girls and say to ourselves, Il
am not going to buy candy; l am
going to save the sugar for the
French children. l will not eat
much candy SO that I can save the
sugar" We can help win the war
by saving the sugar for the soldiers.
We can save by eating all the
food we put on our plates. The
food that we save for the soldiers
would give them more strength SO
they could fight better and win the
war.
l can help the Allies by not eat
ing so much sugar on my bread.
We should eat corn bread and bran
bread and save the white bread
for the soldiers.
I can do my bit by not eating
white bread or so much sugar.

THE MOON PRINCE

Once there were several knights
who loved a prince One time as
they were out enjoying themselves
the prince told them that he want
ed to be alone.
After the knights had gone the
prince rode on and on. Now this
prince had no name, he had al
ways gone by the name of
prince. He was riding along the
road when he heard voice say,
Il will tell your name"
He looked up and saw a beauti-
full girl with curly brown hair.
She had on beautiful dress min
gled with stars.
She said, "My name is Moon
Princess" She then told him how
she got such name She said that
as she was passing through this
same place an old woman told her
that her name was Moon Princess.
She also gave her the power to
name any one having no name.
The prince said. please tell me
your right name"
She said, "My right name is Car
oline."
The prince wanted his name to
be Samuel. He asked Caroline's
hand in marriage. She told him
that she would have to ask her
god-mother. The god-bother con-
scented and the two young people
were married and lived happily
ever after.

How to Catch Monkeys

When l was on the Bahama Is
lands. l saw how they caught
monkeys. First they take forbaow
as the men call it, narcotic, and
sugar 1t. Then they go out in the
forest and get some cocoanuts.
They chop off a piece at the top OF
each one and put in the forbaow
and sugar. Then they take glue
and paste the top again. The men
then hide.
Now q monkey always takes
cocoanut off the ground when he
can. So the monkey comes up. east
the forbaow and goes to sleep.
The men then throw the nets over
them and carry them away while
they sleep.
