MANS MAN" ED.C.
VERDICT OF ALBERT

Washington Viewed King Albert
last night and the verdict was unan-
imous. :
He is a Mans man"
+ He has aged greatly since those
dark days back in 1914 il the pic
lures OF him then were true like
nesses. There is a scan on either
cheek where the boy Leopold who
favors his father in appearance. has
only dimpIes.
His hair--well II looked grey md
still it wasn't But II left a grey i'm
preston. His jaw is just as formid-
able as his pictures make it appear.
his lips seem. habitually set in a firm
line. but still he smiled often and
with each smile his eyes, deep set and
penetrating. fairly glistened with de-
light.
the average man King Albert Is an
imposing figure in, any groupe. As
IL in response to the spirit OF the oc-
casion he was attired last night in
the regulation Belgian army uniform
with Sam Browne belt. His trou-
sers were baggy but he didn't seem
to mind. His face was tanned and he
walked with the easy swinging
stride of a man who sees much of the
great outdoors.
His gaze. always level, direct and
friendly, focused first on one side and
then on the other and that sympa-
thetic smile. indicative of the char
acter which has made him so dearly
beloved by his own people and the
people of the United States was al
ways in evidence.
To say that the King enjoyed his
reception is putting it mildly. he
basked in the cheers OF the throngs
and met them half way always. He
showed little evidence of fatigue
| sightseeing since the George Wash
America and seemed undaunted by the
strenuous days ahead OF him.
No other king in modern times has
won such popular respect, affection
interest and confidence from his own
people and the world at large In SO
short a time as Albert of Belgium
upon whom fate, in ner own inimit-
able way, thrust a crown when IL was
least expected. Unknown to many
and viewed with calm indifference be-
fore the war, he has qualified as quite
the most striking figure the war pro-
duced.
IL mas been said that King Albert
was the Kaiser's sVerdun. German
as centuries of German blood could
make him, Albert broke ties OF blood
when he called his people to arms and
took the field against the Hun in
yaders.
Albert is a truly democratic king
He does things in his own way and
| submits to the formalities of occas-
sions such as this only because oi
the intrinsic necessity. Always he
may be counted upon to find some way
of amusing himself as any other mar
would and some time during his stay
! in Washington he will slip away and
take a hop in a airplane. This, BY
the way. is his favorite sport-and he
is an accomplished aviatorS

Four other questions were put up
to Miss Mortenson. These questions
arose last week when the boards

of the law to the merchants here
Miss Mortenson stated she could not
answer these questions until she had
conferred with members of the board.
The questions:
What is the required basis OF pay
ment for women and minors employed
on part time?
Is there any difference as to this
basis between establishments work
ing, say, forty-eight hours and forty
hours a week?
Can employ woman or minor

Must I pay for holidays in order

NEWTON WRONG,

ROME. Oct 2s.-A revolution IA

by Prof. Maiorsns. who attacked
Newton's theory OF gravitstion in an
address before a gathering OF promi-
nent scientists here. He said the re-
suits Of experiments he had performs
ed upset the hitherto accepted laws
of physics governing the motions OF
celestial bodies.
Newton's theory, while hitherts
considered absolute. is only an sp-
proximate hypothesis. says Prof.
Maiorana, who supports this asser-
ton by showing that ball of leal
floating in mercury becomes slightly
lighter. From this the professor de-
duces four things:
First that bodies have both .
true and an apparent mass. the trus
mass of the sun being double the
apparent mass
Second. that the stars attract 9TH
er bodies with forces entirely df6er-
ent from those thus far admitted 70

Third, that the solar heat of stars
is generated by the force Of eravita-
ton emanAting from interior strata.

tenn had IAN immensely longer life

tratlon Tor strikes bloody and dis

And Lincoln would not hesitate
to do anything necessary to pro-
tect hundred million people
against ANY MINORITY, if ac-
ton by that minority threatened
the welfare of all.
There is nothing SO important
to five hundred thousand as to
justify infiicting suffering upon a
hundred millions. If that isn't so,
then government by the majority
is joke.
Arbitration to be just must take
into consideration the hard work
that the men do, and realize that
first the public, second the work
ers, and third, the owners are to
be considered.
The unpleasant truth is that
following the world war almost
every nation, this one included,
now faces industrial war. There is
an angry attitude on both sides of
the fence, among employers and
employees. Where there ought to
be cooperation, fair dealing, there
is hostility. Solving the problem
is going to be one of the most diff
ficult tasks in the country's his
tory.
Woe to the workers, if they
imagine that any use of numbers,
not based on reason and justice,
can help them. They will draw
down upon themselves conditions
that they will bitterly regret.
And woe to the employers, many
swollen and arrogant with profits,
if they mistake themselves for the
Government, and imagine power
used to protect the mass Of the
people from disaster is used to
protect them, the employers, and
to give them authority TO do as
they please.
The Presidents letter to the
mine workers, written from the
room in which he lies ill, is admir-
able, temperate. 1t expresses the
feeling of the average man and
woman in the United States.
The statement made by Samuel
Gompers, temperate and patriotic,
expresses we'll the feeling of good
American workers. ,..
A hundred million Americans
should be protected from attack,
disastrous to all, protected from
the evil effects of battles within
the nation. Work should be con-
tinued without interruption, pros
perity built up to the highest poiat
on basis Of fair pay with the
highest that can be paid, and
reasonable hours, such as will
guarantee adequate production, all
to be decided by fair, impartial
arbitration.
