SHAW GIVES ADVICE.

George Bernard Shaw assumes the
role of unofficial and volunteers econ
omic adviser to Great Britain, and
Enthusiastically employs the Shaw
ian terseness in telling his fellow
scitizens his views after verbally de-
molishing those so far tentatively sub
mitted by official authority,
The proposal. he says, to pay
war debt running into billions by tax
alton upon wealth which does not ex-
list because it has been burned up and
shot away, is not only impractical but
impossible, and, in its ultimate. sheer
lunaey. And. so goes the Shavian ad-
vice, since the billions cannot be col
lected through taxation on wealth
which no longer exists, the rational
alternative is to pay off the obliga-
tons by the creation Of new wealth.
That, he points out, is obviously best
done by increasing production in every
line on all commodities, a condition
which can be reached only by putting
everybody to work and keeping them
steadily employed. War rules must
be resorted TO if necessary-and he
hints it may be-to put all hands to
work doing something useful and
keeping them at it. There must be
no idlers. The idler in the present
peace crisis, he declares. must be
placed upon the level of the Stacker
in war times and treated with the
same scornful severity.
Until the nations debt is cleared
away to the last farthing, argues
Shaw, no abled- bodied man or woman
should be exempt from work. or some
/ useful productive nature. He advo-
Gates the thorough CONSUMPTION of the
nations human resources for produc-
tive labor that was the standard for
military service during the time OF
national peril. The only alternative
offered so far. according to Shaw, fol-

is-not to pay It but to go along Dor.

had come off well, even in the matter
of casualties.
The arrangements for dealing with
the wounded had not sufficed at all
points, although they had been care
fully examined by. the director of
medical service before the battle.
The numerous slightly wounded made
things more difficult by the stupid
and displeasing way in which they
hurried to the rear.
The battle cost me a great deal also.

rests in German soil. The war has
spared me nothing.

taken me through the two trench
systems in which the opponents had
faced each other for so long. The inn

vastated. stretches through France,

17th Army Badly Battered.
On March 90 there was little change
on the 18th army front, but the End,
being firmly in hand and led with
energy, defeated the. enemy and
pressed on. The 18th gained a con-
siderable amount of ground! The 18th
appeared to give its various tactical
groups too much latitude but for this
action of the different formations was
too inter-dependent. CHIC. took
steps to get the general direction or
the fighting taken more firmly in
hand
The result of the situation on the
18th army front was that the enemy
in the Cambria re-entrant was not cut
off, nor could the opposition To the
End army be Indirectly reduced. The
latter had been obliged to rely on
Its own unaided efforts. and had,
therefore, not got ahead so fast as was

and want to overturn it by revolution
The Bolshevists are fighting it and
the flag. To counteract this propa-
ganda, the idea was conceived of hold
ing a Constitution Day on September
II, the anniversary Of the signing
the purpose of which should be to
popularize the constitution and call
attention to the blessings it has
brought,
People who find fault with existing
social conditions would do wen if they
would read this constitution and learn
how completely it gives all power into
the hands of the people. If the people
are not being justly treated. they have
the power in their own hands. If
they don't remedy existing evils, the
fault is not in the system. 1t is in the
people who have these rights and
privileges, but either do not exercise
them at all, or use them without judg-
ment,
Americans have reason to be well
satisfied with what they have achieved
under this constitution. They nav~
opened the doors Of opportunity so
that any boy or girl can get an edu-
cation. The higher ranks Of success
are filled with those who started from
humble homes.
In the schools the United States
constitution should be a subject of
constant study. Every boy and girl
should be shown how It has made
this country the most prosperous and
| happy on the globe.

On the 21st. just before a. M. the
battle began with a tremendous crash
on front of As miles, between
Croisilles and La Fere. AS regards
the End and 18th armies (the center
and southern forces) the hours had
been fixed by higher authority for
the main operations; the 18th army,
which was fighting by itself, was left
more latitude. Within these limits
matters were left to the groups.

Noah was the first prohibitionist.
He lived on water for forty days. The

he beat it for the grape juice ferment-

the kick the stuff must have had in

Water falls upon us in the shape

1t springs out of the ground at the
slightest provocation. and many
places have both hot and cold running

were in position behind, in, and in
places even in front of the foremost
trenches, 1t was remarkable achieve
ment, and at the same time a marvel
that the enemy had neither seen any,
thing nor heard any movement at
night. At times our batteries were
subjected to harassing fire, and am
munition dumps went IN here and
there. All this must have attracted
the enemys attention. But he OBJ

Delegates OF "a Stetl OtioIlS Seen W
Put End to Open Shop System
Representative Of "a affiliated IN
,ernational unions of workers in the
steel industry, at a meeting in Wash
inston last week, adopted aYresolrl-
ton: recommending that strike vote
be taken among their membership,
definite action on the recommends
tio, VII be taken at q conference Of
The international union presidents, to
be he'll in Pittsburgh July 90.
REPRESENTATIVE OF the unions said
The object Of the strike, if voted,
would be to enforce recognition OF
the unions by the steel industry,
which always has operated on an
"opsn-shcp" basis.
The union representatives claimed
that letter wri.ten by President
GDnlpers, of the American Fedora
tim ofsLabor, to Judge Gilbert B. Gary
as president Of the Americans Iron
and Steel Institute, TO ascertain the
position of steel employees with re
gard to recognition OF the unions,
had not been answered. Failure on
the part of the steel interests to re-
spond, they said, led to the recon-
nlemlation for strike vote.
.ss::iince the establishment of ma
tfonaE committee to head the "a affils
lated international steel unions was
authorized by the American Fedora
ton of Labor more than a year ago,
the union representatives said, mem
hership IN the unions had increased
until they now embrace from % to 80
per cent of the steel workers in all
the important plants of the country.
