from ounds received In service. TIL
great singer also has q daughter and
grandchildren in Germany. but she has
heard from none Of them since before tho
United States declared war. Even before
that she wrote the German son and
daughter that war was inevitable; that
her heart and love were with her Amer
lea: that. excepting them. she had no
love and no interest in Germany. She
said she would write no more and asked
that they not attempt to communicate
until their Germany and her America
again should be at peace. The pact was
kept. Not even the armistice has rok
the silence. George Washington Schu-
mann-Heink. her youngest, born in Amer
lea, was a gunner on the Tenedoes when
that ship went down, Fix weeks ago. For
two days she couldn't learn OF his fate.
Then a telegram from the navy depart

MAKE YOUR DOLLARS WORK.

All your life you have been work
ing for DOLLARS. Now is your time
to make your dollars work for YOU.
And they are the best little workers
that ever slipped on a pair of over
alls.
Thrift does not mean HARDSHIP.
1t means HABIT. Every time you
save dollar out of the pay check,
you put another worker on the Job.
Every dollar safely invested helps
reopen some industrial enterprise on
a peace-time basis. Every dollar
saved starts machinery, makes more
jobs, pays more wages.
The government is offering job:
for your dollars. War Savings
stamps are safe. They pay high
interest and you can cash them when
nessity rings the bell of your flat.
War Savings stamps bought at the
rate of one dollar week means
$53.05 at the end of a year. Try it
and you will find it has not been a
hardship but has become habit.

IT'S WORLDWIDE BILL.
OF RIGHTS FOR LABOR

A response to the spirit of the time
and an enabling clause to the new in
ter-national law are found in the sup
plement to the peace traty framed by
the International commission on labor
legislation, of which Samuel Gompers
is chairman, and adopted by the peace
conference.
1t is a bill of rights for the man
who labors that the conference has
adopted. In it's scope and significance
it is not far different from the declar-
alton of independence signed by the
spokesman of the Is colonies. It is,
IN effect, an annex to that document.
j. The commission S plea for the adOp-
ton of this labor bill of rights was
passed in the last analysis upon labor's
instinct of self-preservation and upon
it's desire for the preservation Of
society upon its present foundations
of reason and sanity.
There is nothing that savors of un-
reasonableness in it's stipulation, or in
any other clause in the proposed bill
of rights for the vast mass of the peo-
pies of lal countries.
1t is peculiarly fitting, too, that
these pledges and declarations should
be made a part of the treaty of peace.
This war has been fought and won
primarily to liberate man-to liberate
him from the horror and the menace
of invasion; to vindicate his freedom

10, THE POOR RUSSIAN.

Nick Lenine tells the world that
the dictatorship of the proletariat
answers the whole question of how
to run the world.
Under that scheme the proletariat
is the whole show and nobody else
gets look in.
How funny it is that a "govern-
ment" of the proletariat-a govern
ment that believes in throwing the
whole bourgeois outfit into the ocean
should hire a whole army of bour-
geois businessmen and lawyers and
promoters and put them in one OF
New York's finest office buildings for
the purpose of~esta blishing bourgeois
commercial rela With , eapitalisti!e
America.
The poor Russian either has a
sense of humor-or else he hasn't
sense enough to see the joke.

AMERICAN TAX DODGERS
FL0CK*T PORTO RICO

American corporations are coming

INVESTIGATING island conditions
Iglesias showed that under the
Porto Rican law these corporations
will pay so and 76 per cent les than
they would have to in the United
States, and that if the corporations
| were no permitted to escape this tax
alton, and were forced to pay their
schools could be built.
The trade unionist stated that IN
the last five years progress in the
schools has topped.
In five years we have lost in our
schools $4,000 children" he said. In
1904, when our imports and exports
children to our schools. In 1916,
when our imports and exports en-
ceeded over $137,000,000, we had only
100000 children in the schools, a loss
of $4,000 what argument can defend
a condition wherein our country has
increased its richness three times
while we are losing in schools, in SAM
tation, in roads and in all those things
that are needed by the people of Porto
Rico? Absentee capitalists is the big
gest thing we have to contend with
in our economic problem.
The paramount problem of Porto
! Rico is to raise the workers standard
of living. Political talk is only ques-
ton of sentinel lit and at this time
nothing can be done with political
talks-tl1e first need of the island is
constructive work among the masses. -
