FACTORIES ARE AGAIN OPENING
 IN CITY OF LILLE

Lille. Nov. 6. - Twenty factories in Lille, among the hundreds of fac tories there before the war, have been reopened and are now running on a reduced scale, says Evelyn W. Fox, director of Y. w. C. A. work in the Liberated regions of France.
 Neither the telephone nor the street car system Is runni:s~ yet. though ap- proxlmately 190. .000 of the 22O,00 in habitants hava returned to the city. Factories are being rebuilt as rapidly as Is possible but the destruction is so complete in the manufacturing dis trict that it will take months to get them reopened while in some Of the smaller surrounding towns such as Arment!eres and Secl1n there Is no hope of getting them in operation within long period of time.
 Altogether 1890 large buildings have been rendered useless in this city which was the fifth city 1a France before the war and known everywhere as one of the big manu- facturing centers for twtne, linen and cotton thread, weaving and metal Iurgic industries.
 The population, being largely of working or commercial people, is therefore, still without work save such as are engaged in reconstruction work with the result that 90,OGO people are still receiving government allowances.
 Despite the industrial paralysis. colleges and educational institutions for Lille is one of the big educa- toral centers in France were open ed October first and show q very good registration. This $ particular Iy true of the technical schools French girls are taking up profes- sions as never before due to the fac that they must support themselvea for the rest of their lives, Miss Fox says.
 The University of Lille comprises schools of law. medicine, science and the fine arts. There are six municipal high schools in the city, fifty ele- mentary free schools, twenty five girls schools, all of which give fres special schools such as the Industrial School of Northern France.
 In order to help solve the housins problem for women students the American '. W. c. A. has opened q student hostel near the university. The house has living accommodations for forty girls and serves meals to triple that number. it is lodged in q house formerly occupied by German officers. All the furnish 'ngs were purehas sed or made in Lille in ordCt to give employment to as many per sons as possible.

ooAle loed or the extent or the ac ttvities of the American Red Cross which necessitates the nationwide campaign for 20,000,O00 members is afforded by the announcement of the Department of Military Relief of the Atlantic Division of the Red Cross soldiers and 7,5O0 sailors and marines in Army and Navy hospitals in need of Red Cross service at this time, nearly year after the close of the war.
 To maintain the service of the Red Cross for the men who are fighting their way back to health and physical fitness in twenty-one Army hospitals necessitates large Red Cross per sonnel of field directors, assistants ward workers and office workers.
 Conservatively, it Is estimated that this force of workers, among it's other multitudinous duties, writes at least 5000 letters each day. Each ward of every hospital is visited every day by Red Cross representatives who listen to the troubles of the invalid men from overseas and give every service possible in keeping up their spirits and their morale On the hos pital trains that frequently transport large numbers of men from one part of the country to another a Red Cross representative is detailed to accom- pany the train and mitigate the hard ships of the journey as much as is pos sibIe.
 An Uneompieted Obligation.
 These men are under our care. They are not discharged from the service and anything that the Red Cross can do to strengthen their cour- age and lessen their suffering is as much our obligation today as it was during the war" the announcement Of the Department of Military Relief states
 And there are others" the state ment continues. There are many men still on the other side. sick men who will be transported to this coun- try when their condition will permit the voyage. To those men we must give all that the others have received who preceded them. It is partly for the direct benefit of those men, as we'll as for the thousands of others in misfortune, both here and abroad, that the Atlantic Division, under the leader ship of Major General John F. O'Ryan, is pushing it's campaign for 5,00O,000 members in the States of New Jersey. New York and Connecticut during the Third Red Cross Roll Call"

HAWKER MISSING BELIEVE A|RMEN
 CAME TO GRIEF
English Government Criti- cised For Not Affording
 Them Protection.
WEATHER BAD
 OFF IRELAND
Impossible For Airplanes to Conduct Search Over the
 Sea.

London, May 2O-No definite news of the whereabouts of the Sopwith biplane carrying Harry G. Hakwer and Lieutenant Commander Macken- zie Grieve having been received here, it was believed in admiralty circles here, that the daring aviators came to grief soon after leaving New Foun6land Sunday afternoon.
 off the Irish coast the weather is bad today, and there are no further rumors that the Sopwith machine fell into the sea within sight of the River shannon.
 The weather is so bad off the coast of Ireland that airplaneS ordered by the Air Ministry to search for Avia- tor Harry G. Hawker's machine are unable to fly. There were strong southeast winds. rain and fog at in -ervals during the night.
 All communication centres in Lon don are silent as to news from Hawker and Lieutenant-Comman Grieve. Even the rumors which prevailed yes- terday and last night have died out
 Tho opinion held in Admiralty cir cles is that Hawker came to grief soon after he started.
 It is pointed out that the aviator almost certainly would have sent a. farewell message before getting out of radio range, had an accident not be- fallen him in the meantime.
 In the House of Commons last night Josiah c. Wedgewood and other mem .bers severely criticized the govern ment for emitting to provide means for assisting Hawker in his f1ight across the Atlantic.
 Captain Elliott declared the coun- try would hold the government had been lamently careless of the honor of the country and the life of a gallant gentleman"

Hawker and Commander Mackenzie Grieve, who have not been heard of since they set off from St. Johns in their Sopwith biplane on Sunday afternoon on their trans Atlantic air journey. but all radio grams which had reached Cape Race up to this morning from more than 20 vessels were negative The Sop with plane had not been sighted and repetition of its call letters DKA went unanswered

"We cannot go any further in our present ddrection. We have already gone too far. We cannot live our right life as a nation or achieve our proper success as an industrial com- munity If capital and labor are to continue being antagonistic and if they continue to distrust one another; or what perhaps amounts to the same thing, calculate by what form and decree of coercion they can manage to extOrt on the one hand work enough to make enterprise profitable, on the other justice and fair treat ment enough to make life tolerable. That bad road has turned out a. blind alley. It is no thoroughfare to real prosperity. We must find another, leading in another direction and to a very different destination. It must lead not merely to adoption but also to a genuine cooperation and part nership based on real community of interest and participation in con trol.
 There is now in fact a real com munity of interest between capital an labor. but it has never been made evident in action. It can be made operative and manifest only in a new organization of industry. The ge- nius of our businessmen and the sound prodigal sense of our workers can certainly work such a partner ship out when once they realize ex- actIy what it is they see and sin cerely adopt common purpose with regard to it.
 Labor legislation lies, of course, chiefly with the states but the new spirit and method of organization which must be effected are not to be brought about by legislation so much as by the common counsel and vol- untary cooperation of capitalist, u,anager and workman Legislatiosa eap . enly .

 In the case of each the President asked for legislation to make easier the establishments necessitated by the change.
 In his recommendation for read justment of taxation the President made 1t clear that he did not expect fundamental readjustment of the Democratic tariff rates that have been operative for the-last six years. He asked for tariff changes only to pro- tect special new interests like the dyestuffs industry. Some reductions were advocated in war time excess profits taxes, and the present taxes on retail sales, the President thought, could be dispensed with entirely.
 What will be the reply of the Re- publican Congress to these proposals became at once the topic of discus sion everywhere about the Capitol.
