iIt was only three years ago

I asked many people while

Not a single one could tell

All they knew was that the
name Wilson & Company

that it stands for the highest

hat it stands for the high

borne out by the statement
that the business has more
than trebled in volume in
three years.
Everywhere I go and I
meet hundreds of people
every week of my life i
hear that Mr.. Wilson puts

Chicago people are very
proud of the name Wilson.

= The main points of the resolution
presented by Herr Sassenbach follow:
The trades unions always recognized
that Germany acted wrongly in Bel
GUM and always condemned atroci-
ties committed; German occupation of
Belgium and deportation of Belgians
was done without the consent of the
German workers; the attitude of the
German workers at the outbreak and
during the war was dictated by the
position of Germany; 1t was their con-
yiction that Germany was sfghting q
defensive war.
The German workers always had
been opponents of war and arma-
ments and never gave assent to the
governments Imperialism.
The German workers recognize that
the workers of other countries cannot
appreciate or understand the several
actions Of the German workers dur
ing the war, but these actions were
forced on them by the severe strug-
gle waged by the German nation.

BY the Associated Press.
AMSTERDAM, Tuesday, July 81
The work of the international trades
union congress today was hindered
by a protracted discussion in commit
tee of the old International organiza-
ton regarding the German deciara-
ton of the stand of German trades
unionists during the war.
The Germans generally maintained
en unrepentant attitude until Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor. told them plain
" that il it were continued it would
be impossible for workers of other
countries to retain relations with
them in the future. The German del
egates thereupon somewhat relaxed.
Report of Committee.
The committee on it's return re-
ported as follows:
THAT the statement of Herr Sas-
senbach German socialist) be incor-
porated in full; that the regrets ex-
pressed therein be registered; that
the German delegation confirm frank
ly and openly the spirit of Sassen-
bach's declaration; that if the avowal
be frank, open and satisfactory the
conference will proceed to the order
of the day; that if unsatisfactory free
dom of action be reserved"
Against all expectations, the con-
gress adopted the report without de-
bate after Sassenbach in a few words
confirmed the German declaration.
Sassenbach, who was a memberNof the
committee, refrained from voting.
The other members included w. A.
Appleton of England, Samuel Com
pers Of America and Leon Jouhaux of
France.
The congress then proceeded to
form a new internationale.
The position of the various nations
in the voting places the British and
Americans in an unfair situation.

In the opinion of the sinking fund
commission there are school trustees
in the state who are in danger of hav-
ing trouble with adjusting of losses on
school buildings in case Of fire. At the
last session of the legislature an act
was passed requiring school truste es
to carry all insurance on school build
ings with the sinking fund commission.
All the school trustees in the state
were notified and in about three fourths
Of the counties prompt compliance was
made with the act but in several of the
counties the trustees have paid no at
tention to the act. The opinion held
by the commission Is that insurance
placed otherwise than in accordance
with the act IS illegal that the pay
ment of premiums on the 81 re Is
without authority and doubt is ,aised
as to the validity Of the property. Un-
der the new law the system adopted
by the commission Is to issue one po-
licy covering by schedule all the school

policy with the county school superin-
tendent Of education. This process is
being followed by Malcolm Miller, the
secretary of the commission, with great
satisfaction. Mr.. Miller in speaking Of
the situation said that many Of the
trustees finding that the cost of re-
building has advanced so much are
having their school buildings revalued
and increasing the insurance carried.
Recently the school trustees in Ander-
son increased the amount Of insurance
on the school building there by $780,
600. Many school buildings which
were erected at a cost of 100000 are
now valued at 100000 and the insur-
ance on the same has been increased
from SIS, 900 to $4,000. This year has
been an unusually profitable one with
the sinking fund in its insurance de-
partment The losses have been re-
markably small.

Real Time For Fear.
The time for fear and foreboding
and the time 1 really kissed myself
goodbye was going over. We left
Hoboken about o'clock one afternoon
last September. 1t was dark and foggy
and raining. Not a light showed
There were several thousand of us on
the transport. All the way across the
ocean we showed no lights. Quarters
were crowded. Flu broke out soon
after we left land. Theretgere over a
thousand cases among the men before
we landed at Brest, France.
Your buddy talked to you pleasantly
and cheerfully at the noon day meal
He was stricken with flu before sup

was dead, perhaps and ere another
day he had been lowered to Davy Jones

dread and the gloom, the thoughts OF
your own self possibly finding a watery
grave on account of the flu ere
another sun had set or watery grave

submarine which probably lurked In
the vicinity.
That was the real time Of my nine
months overseas I was really scared
and frightened and when I gave up al
thought of ever seeing home and
friends again. There were other con-
ditions besides Hun bullets that were
more greatly feared in the recent
world war.
