easy matter. The laborer must be
educated to want welfare work and,
incidentally, to consider it part and
parcel of his daily activities. With
out this spirit on his part, welfare
work is like a chain consisting of
separated links. He takes what is
given him, thanks for it and proceeds
to forget it. One act has no logical
connection to another. Theoretically,
the demand for different activities,
which come under the heading of
welfare work, should come from the
laborer himself. But as yet he has
not reached the stage where he can
make a reasonable or intelligent de-
mand. This is where the school comes
in. We should make it a part of our
business to develop in the boy and
girl the ability to organize and carry
on the work of athletic and social
clubs. They should be able to assume
the initiative in organizing camp base
ball, basketball or ~volley-ball teams.
They should be able to make intelli-
gent use of anything that may be
done for them along welfare lines. 1

but not n easy to perform.
The teacher is, by virtue of her
position, a welfare worker, or perhaps
it would be better to call her a COM
munity worker. 1t is her duty to take
a leading part in all community en-
terprises. This, l fear, many teachers
neglect to do.

High Cost OF Living

The Days Of '49-It cost something
in those days to live-San Francisco is

tails of life in German prison camp

partment by Chief Gunner's Mate James
Delaney of Malen, Mass. one of the
first men of the United States navy to
be captured by the enemy. Delaney and
four other members of the armed guard

Red Cross saved him and his companions
at the Brandenbnrg prison camp from
starvation, the fate that befeIi hundreds
of Russian prisoners.

Red Cross or from home they had to be

London. Feb. 2.-(By The Associated
Press Mo British parliament II cen
tury. except the parliament Of Premier
Asquith. which had on its shoulders the
heavy responsibilities Of deciding whether
or nor Great Britain would enter the
European war, ever met with more nm
portant work to be dealt with than the
house Of commons of Premier Lloyd
George will find when il begins its first
meeting Tuesday. All tho problems Of
the new house may be summarized IN the
one word-reconstructlO
This is peculiarly a one-man and a
personal house Of commons. since ITS
ruling power is not political party but
a coalition group whose members repre-
sent widely different school and which
depends for its guidance upon tue per
sonal leadership of the premier rather
than the putting into effect Of any party
platform.
Premier lloyd George is in Paris and
hc must stay there He has the double
burden of directing Great Rritainss des-
TIMES in foreign and imperial affairs and
in keeping a hand on the domestic noicy,
and at this time of real crisis no one
expects him to leave the peace confer
ence.
Leadership in the two houses Of par
lament therefore, for the time beng VIII
fall upon Earl Curzou and Andrew Bonar
Law both of whom are conservatives and
before the war stood for almost very
thing that was opposed to Lloyd George
and his present program.
That seems to mean that parliament
will mark time until the prime minister
can return and take charge in person,
Meanwhile the problems Of domestic
reconstruction are not marking time.
They refuse to wait even until the more
urgent business Of world construction
has settled in Paris Many people pre-
dicted that there would be labor troubles
in the United Kingdom after the war,
but very few, if any. foresaw that they
would be hrot upon the country SO quick
~ and SO sharply.
The working classes and the plain poo-
pie were told that after the war there
would be better life for the masses.
Apparently they expect and demand that
better life sooner than the government
is prepared To take III hand the business
Of constructing the era
There are MS many explanations Tor
the present industrial unrest as there are
points of view. Some say that the work
ingmeu arc uneasy and restless and that
the strikes are merely a sort of social
efferyescence and are fnt to be taken as
serious symptoms Of any labor policies.
Another and more extreme point Of view
is that the British people are infected
by the general world movement, which is
roughly described as bolshevism. and that
the foundations of society are threaten

NEW BRITISH PARLIAMENT CALLED
ON TO AVERT BOLSHEVIK MENACE

The strikes in Belfast and Glasgow
are new features. Instead Of merely
striking against their employers and con-
filming the battle to the familiar campaign
of men against masters. the strikers are
disrupting the nerve centers of their
communities. The strikes entail not only
the stoppage of working in certain in
dustries hut are paralyzing the every day
life Of cities Transportation. lighting and
power for manufacturing are the vital
arteries of normal living which the strik-
ers and their sympathizers are putting
at standStlH.
Sympathes are divided regarding the
merits of these strikes. As usual, there
are some who say that the Belfast ship
building magnates are masters" of the
motto take It or leave it, and who
might have averted trouble by little
diplomacy and spirit of give and take.
Others contend that the workmen have
struck without giving reasonable notice
and with lack Of ability 60 see two sides
of any quarrel.
The government up To this time has
followed a line of non-intervention, but
the whole matter of industrial conditions
will be involved in the legislation for re-
construction.
The responsibility for earryiu- this
out rests chiefly on the prime minister
and there are indications that he Will not
be slow to grappIe with it. How sue
cessfully he will meet the problem re-
mains to be seen.
In the questions which the country
is asking the only doubts are based on
the fact that a majority Of the members
of the dominant party are conservatives.
On his last visit to Wales. in reply TO
these questions. Mr., Lloyd George said
to gathering of his constituents: May
my tongue eleave to the roof Of my mouth
if | forget my liberal principles"
Upon whether the premier can lead
his conservative allies or whether they
will stifle his liberal principles depends
the course of reconstruction during the
next few months.

London, Feb. 2.-Fighting
between the Spartacans and

Bremen, according to a Copen-
hagen dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph company. The work
ers' committee has sent a pro-
test to the Berlin delegation de-
claring that it is unnecessary to
send government troops to Bre-
men as the city is quiet and or
derly. Gustav Noske, escretary
for military affairs, is said to
have replied that Bremen and
other ports must be freed Of the
menace of bolshevism to permit
the movement of food steamers,
and that any resistance on the
part of workmen will be vigor-
ously suppressed.
Berlin. Saturday, Feb. 1.-(By the
Associated Press. THE troops of the
Gerstenberg division, which are march
ing on Bremen to liberate that city from
the domination Of the terroristic Spar
tacan minority, are not expected to en-
ter the city before Monday.
The political situation has suddenly
taken on an aspect which must be con-
sidered menacing the government. Ihe
Spartacans and their independent So
scialist followers. using as their tools
their soldiers and workmens' councils in
different parts OF the country, are con-
ducting q campaign which at best can
seriously embarrass and handicap all
forces working for an orderly govern
ment and Ut worst make the attempt at
this ideal impossible, as least for the
next few weeks or months.
While it is unlikely that any attempt
will be made to dispersc the constituent
assembly at Weimar, there will be prob
ably what amounts to z rival parliament
in session simultaneously in Berlin. The
Berlin meeting will be a national con-
gress of all soldiers councils.
Among those who have followed the ac
tiyities of the councils since the recent
revolt and particularly in the last week
there is little doubt, however. that the
congress will afford the Spartacans. in
dependent socialists and other radicals
an opportunity to insist on the reten-
ton of the soviet system, alone If posi-
Bile, but, in any event, as Q government
department having equal rights with any
eventual parliament or other govern
