Through three takings OF Belgrade,
first when the city was taken by the
Austrians, again when 1t was retaken
by the Serbians, and still again when
twas taken back by the Germans and
Austrians together, an American Red
Cross nurse, Mary Gladwin, worked
In the operating room. In that first
capture, when nine thousand wounded
crowded the wards and halls and yard

and Austrian doctors came to their

Several hundred women are work
Ing over there in the American Red
Cross canteens. There are about two
hundred of these canteens along the
French and American lines of COM
municatien. and the women are work
Ing under great pressure, feeding
thousands of soldiers. The Red Cross
is also establishing canteens by mill
tary request at number OF Aviation
Camps. American women conduct
these stations, comprising canteen and
club and reading room. Everyone of
these canteens has something of the
genius Of home about 1t; and 1t is
Because of this, no less than the IA
cilities for cleanliness and rest and
refreshment, that the French govern
ment has given the responsibility for
maintaining canteens for both armies
to the hands of the American Red Cross.
In large numbers women are going
abroad as hospital hut workers, also
and as social workers for trained
service among the refugees and the
repatriated. AT each base hospital the
/ Red Cross is equipping, as fast as they
can be built, recreation huts for con-
valescent soldiers.
Clerical workers have steadily In

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Take it from the
gas man; from the chap who fur
n1shes you current for your
electric lamp; from the street rail
way magnate; the poor but proud
telephone manager; take it from any
Of these, this world is topsy -turvy!
There were times, as each will pri-
vately admit, when a consuming pub
lie kicked spasmodically and made oc-
casional objections to poor gas and
tardy cars and telephone insufficient
cies, and things like that, but those
sporadic outbreaks of public peevish-
ness-take it from the gas man-have
become epidemic and old Mr.. Job with
his boils and things was placid and
contented person as compared with the
hunted creature who now serves and
lodges an irritated populace. Between
doses Of nerve tonic a gas company
manager, of rather wide reputation,
who attended the recent convention of
the Natural Gas Association of Amer
lea in this city, confided to those of a
party of friends who sympathized with
him, that he and his interests were
now between the orthodox devil and
the deep blue sea in the matter of
satisfying insistent consumers and i'm
patient stockholders.
They Are Crying.
The plant of these utility persons is
almost classic This one dwelt upon
the impossibility in these war times of
securing help, of securing material
and of selling securities that might
produce money that would attract help
and purchase materials and make it
possible to give service that would
even approximate the service that was
commonplace three years ago. And it
ia true the telephone operator had
gone to the munition factory where
wages are high and the lineman who
did his bit on traction roads or in
telephone stations was killing Huns in
France; that the motorman and the
conductor, the meter inspector, the
construction workman, were all indus
triously endeavoring to lick the kaiser
and the utilities companies are run
ming, as best they may, with unskilled
labor that few years ago would have
been rejected without question.
Don't kick when the telephone con-
nections are slow and when the street
car service is poor-when the gas
doesn't function and the electrical con-
nections are nil. Continue to cuss

NATIONAL,
STATES CONSTABULARY NOT
NEEDED

A strone attempt by the "all-power-
full, the man with the "cush", is go
ing to be made to establish States
Constabuiary in this state at the
coming session of the State Legisla-
ture. 1t is said that a number of
powerful men have contributed to a
huge fund, the purpose of which is to
coax some of the legislature to look
on the right" side of the proposed
law.
Should the law be enacted creating
state constabulary it would probably
mean a mounted police force pat
termed after Pennsylvania.
The question is asked-who is back
of the movement? 1t is claimed that
the mining corporations are soId%
with it. They see in these outposts
of mounted state police, a chance to
intimidate the scattered, and rather
isolated villages, much after the plan
of the Ccssacks in Russia, after the
war.
1t would be wise for those back of
the movement to speak out and give
their reasons, the why, the wherefor
and the necessity, if there is any for a
state constabulary, so that the matter
can have full and fair discussion by
the citizenship of the state to Judge
of the necessity of such force.
Home Guards will soon be mustered
out, and the old plan of National
Guards, made up to large extent of
returning Reserve Army members
will probably be mustered into state
service, for emergency work.
Labor is not wildly in favor of civil
lian armed forces, but the opposition
to National Guards is but small
voice to what will be raised against a
State Constabulary if the matter
proves to be backed by the forces and
for the purpose, now apparent.

AFTER THE WAR.

Predicting that there will be a
mighty industrial struggle in this
country following the settlement of
the recent world conflict, the editor
of the Brewery, Flour, Cereal and Soft
Drink Workers Journal says:
Evidences, slight and apparently
trifing, are multiplying that there
will be mighty industrial struggle in
this country following the settlement
of the recent world conflict. The great
corporations and the private employ
ers of large numbers of workmen are
being restrained, both by public opin-
ion and the strong arm of the govern
ment; but when this restraint is re-
moved, when millions of soldiers re-
turn to civil life, there will be an
instant attempt to break down and
destroy all those barriers that have
been SO laboriously builded for the
protection of the wage-earner.
1t has been the experience Of the
human race that when man is adj
dicted to bad habit, such as exces-
sive drinking or smoking, and sud-
denly quits, he becomes very very
good. But if in the course of few
months or years the man again re-

Two things are certain and self-evi-
dent: First, public utilities are public
necessities and to discharge their OBJ
legations to the public must be main
tanned, as President Wilson SO well
says, "at their maximum efficiency;
second, that is possible only by per-
mitting such rates to be charged by
the utilities as will enable them to
make return on their investment
sufficient to sustain their credit and
thereby keep up equipment and ex-
tensions.

THE NON-UNION MAN

The non-union worker is absolutely
helpless to resist reductions in wages
during periods of business depression;
he is powerless to protect himself
against ercroachments and the length
ening of hours of labor; he possesses
no influence to resist successfully
legislation inimical to the interests of
labor and of his fellows. His isolation
in the industrial field exposes him to
the dangers lurking in cut-throat COM
petition, end to the tendency to sup
plant him with inferior labor at a
lower rate of CONDENSATION.

BEWARE THE HUN POISON GAS!
The poison peddler is still abroad in
the land
There is new and insidious brand
of danger Gus gas being thrown back
of the lines for the purpose of reach
ing the ranks of American workers.
Two of the points of attacks are
among gatherings of workers in the
rehabilitation camps of returning
soldiers. The methods are much the
same as when German agents worked
in the earlier days of the war.
Conversations start along the lines
of the war being ended. That's good,
but there will be wars in the future
Don't forget that. There are, already
signs of its approach
"You see it's this way: England is
determined to get the best of the
peace settlement. Already she has
seized the German navy and added it
to her alleady overwhelming fleet.
They want the sea power both as to
the navy and as to commerce Ameri-
ca threatens to become a dangerous
competitor with her large and growing
shipping.
''Of course, Pm glad the war is
over, but then | think it will be Eng
land who will start it again. You
see they are not content with the sit,
uation ana when they don't get the
best of it in the peace conference there
will be trouble again"
Whatever response comes to this is
met with further talk about whatever
grievance the particular victim of the
gas attack seems to have.

that enables him to predict the day
coming when Germany will be

CAMBRIDGE TO MAKE BID TO
 YANKEE BOYS

CAMBRIDGE, England, Aug. 2 Correspondence of Associated Press) The departure of the Ameri- can soldier-students from Cambridge University is regretted. They are missed.
 Quite gap has been left by the Americans" the correspondent was told by w. F. Reddaway of Fitz- william hall, censor of intercollegiate students, and the Rev. J. P. Whitney, professor of ecclesiastical history at Emmanuel college, which was John Harvard's, put in quick corrobora- tion. Indeed they are," said he. ''They were a cheery lot. We all liked them. They lent quite bit of color"
 The university authorities gener ally were impressed by the earnest ness with which some of the Ameri- cans buckled down to work. All did not work hard, however, many talk ing the view that they would profit more by looking about in a leisurely fashion, studying English practices and manners and cultivating the sO- cial side of things, than they would by burying themselves in books and lecture rooms during their limited stay.
 Cambridge is beginning to make a bid for American students who look to Europe as field for postgraduate work Formerly Americans had great difficulty in securing degrees of doc tor of philosophy in British univer- sites, so they went to Germany. Cam bridge now has arranged a Ph, D., Sir Godfrey said, that will have a special appeal to American re- searchers.
 English postgraduate students, like the Americans, used to go to Ger many. To offset a resumption of that practice, Cambridge is arranging to have it's men go instead to universi- ties in the United States.

TURBINE PRINCIPLE USED IN INTERNAL COMBUSTION
 LIGHT WEIGHT ENGINE

PARIS, Aug. (by maiD The gas turbine, which a large German com pany is reported to be manufacturing, is, it is claimed here, a practical ap plication by Germans of French dis coveries. The principle of this tur bine was worked out by French in- ventors but the trials and expert ments were interrupted by the war.
 Briefly, the engine consists of a spherical combustion chamber to which vaporized gasoline and air are admitted by separate pipes and eX- plOded, as in the ordinary gasoline motor, by an electric spark. Another pipe conveys the jet of gas against the vanes of a turbine enclosed in a metal casing to which the propeller is directly attached. It is claimed that the turbine motor gives the same power as a piston motor on half the gasoline. The engine is said to be much lighter than the ordinary air plane engine and to make little noise.
