ENGLISH LABOR
MAKING STRIDES
Crisis Now Past With Adop-

United Press staff Correspondent
LONDON. June 9-England' =
labor crisis passed FOR the present.
at least-with the adoption by the In.
dustrlal congress. Of the joint com.
mittce's report recommending an
eight hour working day, minimum
wage and permanent Industrial
council to settle wage disputes.
This. according 10 views In well IN
formed labor circles. Is the aignlfi-
canoe Of what took place under a
cloud Of tobacco smoke In the fam

hundred yards from the Houses Of
Parliament. In the conference sat
nearly 500 delegates representing
practically all the large employing
interests Of Great Britain and about
seven million workers.
While the labor situation may be
far from being completely adjusted.
1t Is generally accepted that immedi-
ate danger OF a national upheayal.
which seemed near the last few
weeks. has been removed.
Labor. by arbitration. has won as
much and In many instances more
than II could have hoped to win BY
a nation wide strike strike which
cautious thinkers admitted might
provide an opportunity for Bolshe-
vlsm. And. having won. labor Is
now ready TO carry on and give
the government and capital chance
TO put into execution the things they
have promised.
The burden Of proof has been shift

UNIVERSITY PLANS
SPEAKING OFFENSIVE
Two Debates and M. l. o. A. Contests
to be on Campus. Ole Miss De-
bates Arkansas Soon.

The program for debating and ora
tory at the University is as follows:
May 2-Mississippi-Arkansas De-
bate, Campus.
May 9--M. l. o. A. Contest, CAM
pus.
May 16-Mississippi College-U Uni
versity Debate, Clinton.
May Millsaps- University De-
bate, Campus.
AS shown by the above program
two important debates and the State
Oratorical Contest will be held on our
campus during the next month.
On April rs debaters from the I'm
iversity Of Arkansas will come here
to meet our debaters for the first time
on the campus. Two years ago we
sent a team to Arkansas, and on the
same night we met here team from
the Mississippi A. and M. Teams
from the other two Institutions met at
Starkville. The result was a victory
for each school on its home grounds.
The debaters for Mississippi this year
are G.. l.. Hester and U. K. Guthrie.
The Arkansas debaters are James
Bradley and j. j. Ragsdale. The
date was set long before it was known
that the Easter dances would be held
at this time. Although goodly part
of the student body will leave for the
holidays, it behooves those who are
here to rally around Hester and Guth-
rie and hear them talk the Arkansas
delegation off its feet.
M. |. 0. A. Contest.
On May g., two weeks later, the I'm
iversity will be the hosts Of the Mis-
sissippi Intercollegiate Oratorical AS
ISOLATION. This is beyond question
the most inteesting college event OF
the year. Our representative is
Drane Lester, well known as both ball
player and orator. The other con-
testants are as follows: 81. M.
Johnson, of Edwards, representing
Millsaps; T. M. Ferguson of Hatties-
burg, representing the A. and M. Col
.lege; and w. L. Pack, also TO Hatties-
,,urg, representing Mississippi College.
Faculty representatives from each OF
these institutions will also be guests
of the University. The judges will be
well known men from different parts
eof the state. Plans are being made to
give them a warm reception, and to
make this occasion famous in the an
nails of the University.
On May 16, E. l.. Cochran and c.
l.. Summers will journey down to Clin-
ton for the purpose of showing Mis-

sissippi College the fine points in de-
batting.
On May 90 w. W. full and j. P.
Stafford will meet representatives
from Millsaps College.
The University has achieved splen-
did record in debating during the past
few years, and we have no doubt that
our representatives this year will up
hold our reputation. In oratory we
have not been quite SO successful; but
we are locking to Drane Lester to
blaze the way to continued oratorical
triumphs for the University.

March ~, 1917.
Editor Oxford Eagle:
Since writing you last I've been sent
down to the University OF Mont Jel-
lier in France, in accordance with the
arrangements made by the u. S. gov
eminent whereby several thousand col
lege men Of the army were given APP
pointments to attend the higher insti-
tutions Of learning in France and Eng
land while still on army pay. We en-
listed men are given So per day for ex-
penses in addition to our salaries,
which do not run very high, as you
know. Officers receiving appoint
ments pay their own expenses. 1t is
Ia very wise arrangement for both
countries. The men who attend the
schools represent every section of the
country and every college or universe
ty. They are learning the best that
France and England has to offer
and at the same time showing them
the best we have to offer. This as
ISOLATION will have strong influence
to keep up cordial relations between
the countries in the years to come.
U. S. A., England and France must
bear the burdens Of the worlds peace
as they have borne the burden of the
world war, and to do that, it is neces-
sary to know each other in every pos
sible way.
This is very old aristocatic town,
something on the order of what Ok
ford will probably be thousand years
from now. 1t has population of
around lis thousand. The university
had been running 300 years when Co.
lumbus put out across the Atlantic for
America. On large panel in the
main auditorium is painted scene
representing the arrival of a party OF
students from Cornell University, N.
r., twenty years ago, the only Amer
leans who ever attended tins school
before We came March /. They are
talking OF adding another painting to
commemorate our coming. There are
500 students her now, and probably
more to come. Most OF. them room
in pricate homes and eat at restaur-
ants. There are quite a number OF
US rooming in large dormitory which
was q boys school before the war. 1t
has room for 300 men. We have cleo
trio lights, shower baths, water closets,
reading and writing rooms and an
American postoffice, all in this build
ing. We are compelled to take min
imum of fourteen hours per week class
work land for most of US that means
Fench. If you do not know French
they give you twelve hours per week
in that. We are under military dis
cipline with roll call every morning,
formations, guards, passes, etc., but
our military duties are very light, just
enough to remind us we are in the
army.
It is six miles down to the Mediter-

core. It was my privilege TO Watcn
and to associate with those men Wnlle
they were undergoing the intensive
training, fighting all camp vices ana
diseases and giving their best tnat
they might be able to give an account
of themselves when Jerry made an al
venture. 1t was a crushing pioW

the fact that all realized their re-
sponsibility. We wanted to use this
chain in the Argonne, or anywhere
along the western front that would
have Inconvenience old Jerry (Boche).
But if you are disappointed In the
small number of engagements IN
which they participated, you need not
be disappointed in the stuff they are
made of. They seemed to have
grasped the mission upon which they
were dispatched. Easy to command,
eager to learn and with determine

change to military life called for. !
desire to say in behalf of those men
that l owe debt of gratitude to them
for their ever obedient and wiling
ress to do. They were the men that
wanted to go into battle with. When
we left Oxford, Miss, (what sweet
name) in August, 1917, had two
t~nthers in the company. When l
vas transferred from the company l
haa as many brothers as there were
men in the company. They respected
me, and they made life bearable for
me. So did the officers. And after
we understood each other there was
delightful spirit between us. Also to
Lieut.. E. F. Mccall I feel very close.

Grape growing and the wine busi-
ness are the chief industries of this
section. III all the lands OF Europe
taken up in vineyards had been em-
ployed in growing something to eat,
America would nave had no problem
OF feeding Europe. One OF the boys
said it was less trouble to drink wine
over here than to make them under
stand why you did not drink. The
French drink light wines with almost
every meal, both men and women. yet
there is very little out and out drunk
enness. Some OF the bibulous in the
army are for instituting the French
system of light wines for total prohi-
bition in the u. S., but it prompted
no doubt, more by their stomachs than
by their heads. One of the French
papers pointed out that the man that
shot Clemenceau Gid not drink either
wine or beer, the inference being that
anyone of such absteninous habits
would turn out to be an unbalanced
BOlshevist.

Sixty-three per cent. of War De-
partment contracts outstanding when
the armistice was signed have been
suspended or cancelled. This means
an enodmous saving for the people.
Eighty-four per cent. of aircraft con-
tracts have been terminated. The
quartermaster department has not
been able to make such good show
ing, only seventeen per cent. Of con-
racts being Cancelled. This is because
so much of the supplies contracted for
by the quartermaster are needed 20
