MORE DISCONT1ENT
 SHOWN BY ITALIANS
Reports From Paris That Wilson Re- 4 mains Obdurate Causes Another
 Newspaper Tirade.

Rome, May II, (By the Associated Pres.)-The discomfort of the people is again growing because of news from Paris that Italy is not likely to get what she claims on the eastern shore of the Adriatic. The Messag- zero says:
 President Wilson is obstinately ob- durate in his views regarding Plume, showing that he has not changed his mind.''
 Other reasons for dissatisfaction are the Anglo -Frenc erican alliance from which Italy was excluded; the asserted project that the former Aus trian merchant marine will be divid- ed among the Allies, although it is held it belongs entirely to Italian firms; the clause in the treaty with Germany saying the three principal
 1-ars were sufficient to ratify the
 sty, thus it is alleged, again exclud-
 Italy, and the reported scheme to
 Ice Ethiopia under the protection of < efance. All the newspapers of Rome wpublish adverse comments on these subjects.

An Old Church.-In a citadel at the
foot of Mount Sinai is a church and a
monastery that have been uninter-

hundred years. The light before the
tabernacle has been burning all those
centuries. The Church was built by
St. Helena, mother of Constantine,
and is on the traditional site of the
burning bush where Moses heard the
voice of Jehovah. The citadel just
mentioned is of cut stones and but
tresses and ramparts and towers. So
thick are the walls, that rooms and
chapels are found inside of them. In
that monastery are unknown ancient

plished by having every one, in so far as it is humanly possible, apply himself with the consciousness that justice prevails, that he is getting fair return for his work-that he is giving up only fair proportion of what he gets to pay for the work of others.
 Why, then, is it not possible to establish fair comparative prices as between staple commodities, based upon actual and intelligent facts as to the consumption of energy necessary for their production and then establish wages on fair basis of relationship to these prices?
 Equity of price, therefore, and proper ratio of price as between commodities, is the first and most important consideration in the fix ing of wages. In establishing this proper ratio of price, the first concern of both Capital and Labor in every industry is to see, through Manage ment, that the right price is obtained for the products of that industry.
 This lends evidence to a previous statement that the proper align ment of interests and individuals is the Capital, Management and Labor of each industry, and not the Capital of all industries as opposed to the Labor of all industries. Capital must understand and recognize the needs of the workmen in it's particu- lar industry and workmen must understand the legitimate needs of the Capital in their particular industry. Together they must strive to obtain the right price for their product and through Management must arrange for the proper distri- button of profits.
 Such a meeting together-such a mutual understanding the real basis of industrial organization. At Hydraulic we are seeking to effect this kind of organization, and as we progress in it, are more and more satisfied with the practical results.

If transportation and farm labor are high, then food is going to be high. If transportation and labor in the building trades are high, then houses are going to be high. If transportation and labor in the production of clothing are high, then it is going to cost more to buy clothes. If these things cost more, wages, no matter in what industry, must be on scale to meet these high prices.
 And we come again to the matter of price, with the additional thought that wages in large measure deter mine price. But we are getting nowhere except to have established that if wages are high prices will be high and if prices are high, wages must be high. With wages chasing price and price chasing wages, the commercial world presents the ridiculous spectacle of a cat chasing it's tail.
 Workers in every trade may demand by just right wage sufficient to meet their needs, but not exorbitant so as to work in- justice to those in other trades who buy their products. Nature has endowed some men With mental capacity or physical strength which raises their earning power above that of their fellows in the industry in which they are engaged. Others are willing to exert extra effort, energy and application which en- hances their earning power. These individuals are entitled, in the rate of payj to recognition of their better or greater production; but no individual or group of individuals should expect to receive a higher rate of wage for their skill and effort than they are willing to pay for the same degree of skill and effort devoted to the production of the commodities which they must buy.
 Our whole national life-the hap piness and contentment of every individual-is dependent upon our industrial and commercial pros perity. The fullness of national pros perity can only be achieved through every citizen and individual doing his full share and receving his full share. This can only be accom-

BANDITS ATTACK HARBORD,
 THINKING HIM ARMENIAN

Harbord, head of the American Mission to Armenia, narrowly escaped death at the hands of a band of marauding bandits a few miles from Mount Ararat Major General HarbOrd has just returned to the United States and made a re- port to President Wilson on the dis tressing conditions in the Near East, where American charity is saving thousands of lives through the Near East Relief

INTO MATTER whether a man
 M works for day wages or for A salary, his interest in the rate of pay is of secondary importance. His first and most important con- sideration is whether or not his pay will provide for the needs of his family, with something over. And by needs we do not mean a bare existence. Every man who takes his place in industry, whatever that place may be, and does his share of the worlds work, is entitled to more than bare existence. He is entitled to return for his effort which will supply all needs with enough more to care for emergencies and provide for old age.
 The amount of pay received, therefore, becomes important only in it's relation to the cost of the things he must buy. If man gets $5O.OO month and can go out into the market and buy the things which he needs for $40OO, he has chance to get ahead. But if he gets $25O.O0 a month and prices are such that it takes $30O.00 to pay for the things which he and his family SHOIuu nave, ne IS III an impossible situation. On the one hand he is contended and happy with the low wage; on the other he is in despair with the high wage. Therefore, our statement that the rate of wages is secondary, the question of real importance being the relation that earnings bear to cost of living.
 But what fixes this cost of living? What makes food, clothing, rent, etc, high or low in price? The wages and profits of those engaged in the production and distribution of these things. If wages of those who work for transportation companies those who work in the industries which produce equipment for trans portation-locomotives, cars, motor trucks, etc., are high, then trans portation will be high. The cost of transportation influences the price of all commodities, as nothing which enters into our needs escapes the necessity of transportation, local or otherwise, either as raw material or finished product-and the con- sumer pays the freight.

Now Goes to Near East
 where nearly a million people are suffering from disease and starvation.
 Miss Andrees had returned to this country after serving for the Red Cross, but when she read of the sad plight of the Armenians, she at once offered her services to Near East Re- lief, the former American Committee on Armenian and Syrian Relief, which already has saved thousands of lives in Western Asia. Miss Andrees is the only American woman war worker who was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal by Congress. Most of the other members of her party like wise served with honor for the Red Cross and other war service organi- zations.
 Among the other members of the group are the Misses Frances and Betty Anderson of New Canaan, Coun, who were decorated with the Croix de Guerre by the French Government; Miss Margaret Milne of Washington, D. C., who was a member of the Hoover Relief Commission for Ru- mania, and Miss Alex Sidney, an Eng fish woman who served for three years with the British Relief Commission in Serbia. Miss Doris Nevin, another member of the party, is a daughter of the late h1thelbert Nevin, the con- poser.
 Col. William N. Haskell, commis- sioner to the Near East for the Paris Peace Commission and official repre- sentative of the Near East Relief, has cabled that the relief workers now in

Rockefeller's house, but the house IS not distinguished from any other resi- dence in that section, except it is new, and, as would be expected, was con- structed of very substantial material For long stretch almost immediately south of the Rockefeller estate the road is very rough as a result of heavy traffic during the winter and neglect of highway officials, or, prob ably safer to say, lack of proper ap- propriations to bring it up to the standard which would seem so becom- ing.
 For more than year Mr. Rocke- feller had been haIf-homeless. True, he has one of the most palatial estates in America-his magnificent home at Pocantico Hills, near Tarrytown, N. Y, overlooking the Hudson. But about eighteen months ago his other and most cherished home at Forest Hill, Cleveland, burned to the ground. The fre-ridden estate in the city where he

more apt to make a success of life than the bookl<eeper who allows his mind to wander from his books to the work of the superintendent out in the shop.
 "I have always lived a frugal life, first from necessity and now from choice. My table is practically the same as it always has been."
 When Rockefeller forsook Augusta some years ago to make Florida his winter home there had been great speculation as to whether he would purchase a home in that state, and he had been the target of many real es tate promoters. For the first few sea- sons he spent the winters at a hotel, but in 1917 he purchased the modest estate at Ormond, a place which had greatly appealed to him. His name no longers startles those around the resorts, if ever it did, and it may be that his strictly modest mode of liv ing, as well as the fact that billions

frank democracy in his man-to-man dealings back at Cleveland started the tongue of the financial world wagging, as he went on heaping millions upon millions and then billions upon billions to his credit, until today his private fortune is estimated at as high a fig
 ure as s12,OO0, 900 ,O0O and his income above $60OOO,OOO a year. Like the silent serious youth, rather pale of face and high forehead, tight shut lips that betray a master mind behind somewhat grim exterior, John D. Rockefeller retains these characteris. tics today but his face itself IS not any too full. Here, coupled with a significant brOtherly attitude toward his fellow man, his age Is best detected. He does not wear glasses all the time.

pression, such as MT. Fell was well htted to impart, and did.
 John D. is a remarkable man." the retired Philadelphia banker began, and his noble purpose in anything he undertakes, his clean way of living and thinking, no doubt, are natural traits which have made it possible for him to acquire the vast fortune he has and enjoy the remarkable health he does at his age. He does not ap- parently think of years as measuring his life. That is very noticeable at his home here, where he is taking his time about having a good many ad- ditions and embellishments completed. No doubt he will have a pretty home here in a few years, and he is taking as much time in having improvements made as a man under fifty years of age.

been welded into one of the strongest bonds of national unity in the record of mankind. It withstood the shock of the greatest civil war in modern history. It has survived the crucial test of 130 years of rough and-ready usage.
 The strength of this union was an. tonishingly revealed when President Wilson announced that we were at war with Germany. There have been instances in history when people. with one accord, have responded to the call to arms-but, usually, only when their territory was invaded by a foreign foe and their homes were imperiled. But in this instance there was no imme. diate danger to our domiciles. The call to arms was for the somewhat vague principle of democracy" a term nc. calculated to unite the whole people as it had a tendency to antagonize s powerful opposition party. The peril to homeland was in the indefinite future-lacking the stimulus of i'm pending ravages in our own country. Yet, at the call of the President, men. women and children, North, East, South and West, regardless of color. creed of country, of descent, irrespec- tive of politics, prejudice or pique. re sponded with a zeal and determination never before equaled in the history of any nation.
 Truly, the much-ridiculed league" of our original thirteen states had been developed into one of the most powerful unions of the world. With the experience of 130 years back of us, with the resources of the world vir- tually at our disposal and with the assistance of the greatest statesmen in the record of man, it would be strange, indeed, if a league of nations could not be formed which would prove a blessing to humanity-1ust as the "leaCue" of the thirteen foreign" states formulated by our forefathers in 17S3-17S7 was developed into a politi cal power that rescued civilization in the hour of its greatest peril in 1918.

Revolution the population of the thir teen colonies was about three millions, not counting the Indians. Of this number one-sixth, or 5OO,OOO, were negroes, most of whom were of Afri- can descent, although a considerable and antagonizing element of the West Indian and Creole servitor was in evil dence.
 A casual review of the 2,50o,00 white people in the original thirteen states will show quite as great a di- versity of races, languages and tenn peraments as exist today among the leading nations seriously proposed for the league of nations. What is now the state of Maine in 17S3 was occupied largely by Portuguese, who had settled along it's shores from the earliest days of discovery They ad- hered to their mother tongue and revolution many geographical points along the Maine coast bore Portu- guese names.
 Thicl<ly scattered through Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, northern and western New York and in west ern Pennsylvania were French set tiers from Canada, who, although few in number exerted a powerful influ- ence in the development of those vast tracts of wilderness.
