AMERICA HAD
 HALF MILLION
 AT ST. MIHIEL
100000 Soldiers Fought A7 Days in Mouse
 Argonne.

The nations net debt as q result of the war is about S22,OOO,OO 900, or about S1.OOO for every family, which finally must be paid by the toll of tho family, for no matter who pays it d!- rectly. in the end it comes to the con sumer: and with interest added it will amount to more than S2,000, nearer $3.OOO. by the time it is paid.
 What was the object of all this sac rifce of life and treasure?
 What do we owe to the men who went over and risked their all?
 What do we owe to the dead on the fields of France?
 What do we owe those who came back manned for life?
 What do we owe to those who gave generously of wealth and timer
 What do we owe humanity
 Do we owe them an assured peace for the future, or do we owe them endless pickering?
 Those who sacrificed over there cry out that such a sacrifice shall never be forced on humanity again.
 Those who suffered in the trenches would have themselves, their children and their childreu's children spared from such an ordeal again.
 They know the fierceness of the death-dealing instruments devised by man; they know that another world conflagration, carried on with the knowledge gained in this, would all but wipe out humanity.
 We all know that before this war we were told that great ornaments worked for peace, and we know now that that was not true; tlSst they meant death to mankind.
 We have learned that peace can be maintained throughout the world only through an intelligent understanding among the nations.
 And the voices of those who have gone and those who remain cry out for such an understanding. That understanding written into the League of Nations, is being ac- cepted in Europe.
 Our Constitution gives the United States Senators the power to accept or reject the understanding accepted by other nations and before this gov ernment for action.
 Each Senator has a right to use his own judgment, to come to his own conclusion, in the matter, but he has no right to push aside Humanity S cry, and to base that judgment. to come to that conclusion, on the lines of party expediency.
 There was no partisanship in the fight on the French front; there was no partisanship in the buying of Lib erty bonds or giving to patriotic funds: there should be no partisan ship in the contest in the United

WEIGH WORKERS
 BLOW IN MONEY
 ON ADJUSTMENTS
Big Wages Make Possible Airplane Trips At $5
 Per Ride.

Swansea, Wales, Sept 4.-CCorres4 pondence of The Associated Press) - The vacation season is furnishing ample evidence that South Wales. once noted because of the low wages of its people, is now enjoying a pros- Derity which admits of luxuries for miners and their families hitherto unknown.
 Golfers who easily make $40 a week even at their seven-hour day. and steel workers who make S9O. are much in evidence, the1r particular sport being flying. Some of them have been up in the pleasure flying machines half a dozen times. and every time it cost them s5. Many of them have their own motorcycles, and some have automobiles. an un- heard of eXtravagance even in the munition manufacturing days.
 But the aristocrat of all workmen about Swansea is the coal trimmer who works on the docks. Five of them work together and experience no difficulty whatever in clearing up S1o0 a week. They have so much work to do that the best of them fre- quently have to sublet turns to lesser paid men and thus they earn more
 while they sleep.
 General cargo workers loading and unloading ships easily earn from $40 to $50 a week, while foremen who have a share in the earnings of eacn gang under them frequently count | $150 for a weeks labor.
 Contrasted with the wages paid be- | fore the war, the figures given are almost unbelievable, for South ] Wales was known as one of the poor 1 est paid districts even in Great | Britain
