DANA SPEAKS ON
 CHANGE IN LABOR

Speaking of the change which has working people regarding the prob lens which affect their welfare, Professor Henry Dana, at the mass meeting of the unemployed held at the State street Casino, Saturday af- ternoon, said: When I spoke here two years ago on the same subject which I am going to discuss today, my audience consisted of twenty people, and I think that number in cIuded the family cat. Today my audience consists of more than 5000 people, and your presence here tes- ttfies to the fact that you are deter mined to take an active part in mat ters which you realize means your future progress or your enslayement under an autocratic system.
 MT. Dana urged a revolution which would give the working people the right to live, the right to labor under conditions for their ultimate good.
 Samuel Lavit, business agent of the Machinists' Union, gave a short ad- dress on the test cases which he has in view regarding the validity of the city ordinance which prohibits the holding of meetings without the se- curing of a permit from the police department. MT. Lavit declared: If sufficient funds can be secured to take the case to court we will hold a meeting without a permit to test the validiy of a ruling made by men who don't understand the laws of the country"

AT REST BENEATH FLOWERS
Beautiful Conception of "Garden of the Brave" Above the Heroic
 Dead in France.

That was a beautiful and moving conception of Sir John Fraser's spoken at the Pilgrims luncheon that the bCri- al lands of the war in France should be made gardens of flowers. In his eloquent words:
 q would like to see-and I do see sometimes in my vision-the flowers Of America growing over where lie so many of your gallant sons.
 q know there will be mighty stretches of fleur-de-lis marking the sleeping place of 100000 brave Frenchmen. I would like to see the blooms of Belgium nodding over the graves where brave BelgianS sleep, and l know that out there I would like to see a mighty avenue of maple trees, all glorious with their crimson and with their gold, telling the place where the Canadians rest and there will be mighty masses of the wonderful Aus tralian wattle showing where the Aus tralians are sleeping; yes, and know that out there, too, will be great sheaves of green, the shamrock cover let for the brave Irish; and there will be roses everywhere, the white rose and red rose, the roses of Old England, of Lancaster and of York. telling where 500,O00 brave Englishmen lie.
 Perhaps out in that Garden of the Brave I would come across stretches of heather, beautiful gold-purple heather. I would know there were Scotsmen buried there. There would be playing T would hear the sound of the pipes, for the pipes always play where dead Scotch soldiers lie; that Is the vision that comes to me-"
 There would be many American sym bols to join the goldenrod California poppies, the wild rose among the rest. Certainly no more glorious and fitting memorial could be imagined than such fields of mingled beauty.-New York Tribune.

Horace Greeley Printed Americas First Penny
 Morning Paper

The first penny morning paper III America was the New York Morning poe+ which was founded in 1855 Wltn Dr Fl. D. Shepard as editor ana Horace Greeley as printer. Prlor Io that, by three years, an evening paper called "The Cent" selling Tor tnaC amount, had had a brief existence III philadelphia. Greeley, who was porn 7o8 wears ago today, Feb. 5, loll, started his career as a printer III PouItnev. Vt, in 1926. In 1881 he arrived in New York with $1O in his Docket. but two years later he began business on his own account as printer of the Morning Post. The following year Greeley, in partner shin with Jonas Winchester, estaD- Iished the New Yorker, of when Greeley was editor In 1840 Greeley edited and published the Log Cabin, a campaign paper that gained the astounding circulation of So,O00. In 1841 he founded the New York Tri- bune a small daily paper that sold for one cent copy, and thus laid the foundation for his future fame. From that time unLll nlS ueaLA III Io'@ i4O was not only editor of the Tribune, but he was the Tribune, and he won a secure place as the foremost jour nalist in America. It is an irony of fate that the phrase attributed to Greeley which is most widely quoted was not original with him. ''Go west, young man, go west" Is a bit of ad- vice which has become proverbial in America, and 1t is always accredited to the immortal editor of the New York Tribune. Yet Greeley did not originate 1t, and publicly admitted 1t. The author of the famous phrase was John B. l., Soule, who, in the early '50s, was the brilliant and forceful editor fo the Terre Haute, Ind. Ex- press.

Animals Fear Airships.

All animals are terrified by airships. Partridge, quail and other game birds crouch and hide, while domestic fowl utter loud warning notes the instant they perceive the monstrous bird of prey.
 The Swedish aeronaut, Van Hoffken, while sailing at a moderate elevation. observed that elk, foxes, hares and other wild animals fled at his ap- proach, and that the dogs ran, bowling, into the houses.
 While the Zeppelin III was going from Dusseldorf to Essen the aero nauts on board noted that horses and cattle galloped frantically over the fields on catching sight of the air ship.

RAISED OWN CORN
How American Boys in France
 Got DeIiCaCy.
Turned From the Trenches to Truck Fa, ming and Were as Success ful on the Field as
 at tho Front.

You should have seen the soldiers raising garden truck for. Christmas. The climate of France was strange to them, as was the soil, and some of the vegetables that please the French palate, according to Sterling Heilig In an exchange.
 But the American buddies took up winter trucking with a will
 Nobody ever raised green corn down there in winter. "Nor In summer, very much, either" answered the buddies. A few natives used to raise 1t to sell to Americans of Paris, but they had never tried to eat it. though they raised much yellow corn for meal and fodder. Last summer the doughboys in certain hospital truck farm dis tricts resolved to have the real thing. At Bordeaux, where they were par furnished to the private car of Secre- tary Baker when he made his trip to France. And it was from the secre- tary of wars recommendations, they say that the great American truck farm movement in France quit Red Cross swaddling clothes and became general ized from fighting front to resting rear.
 In the south of France winter Is a good deal like summer, and they raise almost anything. Heroes of St. NIL hiel were betting that they would have green corn for Christmas-and the French natives bet against them.
 Most of the gardeners were conva- lescents, wounded at St. Mihiel, and hungry for the fresh green things they expected ta eat presently. Only those who have been deprived of green stuff so long that they shy at the sight of a tin can are able to appreciate the value of these real war gardens. For, the fighting over, eating goes on, and, when rutabagas that father used to feed to the cows cost 40 cents a pound, the food problem is clearly stated to every man in the army.
 The surgeons say he convalescent heroes of Chateau Th1erry and St. Nil mel HEtu litc gal utI "OI h hiuN11 Sb they need the garden truck. Get the man out, even for half a day, in the light work of truck farming, and you get him out of himself-and away from sitting around hospitals, listening to wounds being dressed and troubles talked over. High British and Aus tralian neurosis authorities agree, ab- solutely, that working the soil will work more cures than any other treat ment.
 In the army farming in France many see a forerunner of what will happen when Uncle Sam gives little govern ment farms to his veterans on their re turn.
 "We find that the American truck farmer" says a worker, "after he has talked a little with French truckers and has the lay of the land, turns out better than the Frenchman-by up-to- date methods. Side by side, the little American truck farms in France are superior to truck farms under French gardeners in the suburbs of French cities. It is absolutely demonstrated"

Proposes Universal Tax Levied on Powers
 Enemy, Allied or Neutral
(Continued from Page One)

(COnLlnueQ lTuI1l I dS6 N'IlGJ
 "The enemy should be forced to pay off as soon as possible the Allies debts. The international tax would furnish interest on the rest and a sinking fund for paying it off even tually. In my opinion they should he allowed to pay, not only in gold, but in raw materials and finished products. Part of their debt might he covered by bonds which they for goods delivered to the Allies. for goods delivered to the lilies.
 '1The supply of raw materials is an- other important question to be con sidered. If they are furnished to enemy countries at the same time and at the same prices as to the Allies, the Austrians and Germans whose industrial plants have not been de- stroyed and who are ready to return to a peace basis in their production more rapidly than the Allies, would reach foreign markets quicker and under better conditions than would be possible for the Allies.
 This we must avoid at all costs. l therefore, propose that distribution of raw materials be internationally controlled in such a way that Allied countries may be served before enc my countries,
 Another important question ln- volved is that of the length of the working day. A days labor in Ger many before the war was very long. If it continues so now, they will be able to produce more cheaply than we can. Therefore, international laws on this question have become essential.
 Another problem is thar of ex- changes between different nations To cite. an example, my own country, when peace is re-establishsd, will have to import very largely to re- nlenish depleted stocks. This will have a disastrous effect on our money unless the states control exchanges. therefore, consider that the pres mt state control of import and export rade must continue for some tina-'

Director General Hines Favors Extension Plan
 For Railroad Control
Continued from Page Ore.

Continued rom PaSe One.
 Discussing the reasons for taking more time for considering legislation, he said:
 "A very strong feeling prevails that this question is pushed now by the railroad executives because they feel that the going is particularly good and that they had better make private management hay while the anti government ownership continues to shine. I do not believe solution in this spirit is going to satisfy the pubIic.''
 So far as physical operations are concerned, said the Director-General there is no emergency which calls on the government to continue control of the railroads. He explained that the methods adopted by the railroad administration during the war now are open tS reconstruction in the light of peace conditions, adding that this had been Mr. McAdoo's attitude.
 MT. Hines presented the following arguments for a five-year extension:
 1t will give advocates of govern ment ownership full opportunity to press their views without being influ- enced by the temporary reaction against government control.
 Tt will remove the necessity for undue haste in solving such big problem as the future of the rail roads; it will stabilize employment and wage conditions; permit prosecu- ton of big program of big improve ments and extensions, help to take up the slack in employment and mater iaIs during the critical period of re- adjustment.
 Tt will protect security-holders pending an ultimate solution.
 Tt will minimize the danger of making the railroad question a purely partisan issue, to be consid- cred in an illogical manner, in the presidential elections
