"WORK ~

There was world sermon If
Clemenceau's words to the Alsatians
Speaking in Strasburg on the evt
OF the parliamentary elections, the
venerable French statesman declar-
ed that the salvation of the world
depended on the worlds willingness
to work.
Destructiveness, brutality exempt
fled by modern warfare, has brought
a new phase Of human history. 1t
has brought widespread discomfort. Ii
has brought demands for new condl-
tons which are partly justified and
which are being met, as fully as pos
sible, by the governments of the dem
ccratic nations. But, above all, it
has brought the necessity for work,
tireless, conscientious work, to re-
pair the ravages of war.
Germany, beaten in war, but now,
as ever keen to read the signs Of
the times, has been one of the first
nations to learn the all important les,
son. Germans, long trained in the
Prussian school of efficiency, are
working as never before By sheer
work they are endeavoring to lay the
foundations of German rehabilita-
ton. There are almost no disputes,
no bubbles, no jealousies. Each Ger
man is working to his utmost capa-
city. Each German believes that by
work the German people may soon
est be restored to happiness, and that
his individual efforts must contribute
indirectly but inevitably to his ind-
vidual happiness.
Outside of Germany there is no
similar rage for work. In England
there is manifest desire to shir'l,
and in France therv IS the beginning
of a laziness which is little more
than a natural reaction from the
supreme eXertion of the war years.
In America there is lvss excusab,e
tendency to make work something
secondary. America has not suffer-
ed as have England and France and
Germany. Yet it is in America that
Discrimination to work is today most
impressive and discouraging.
Only by steadfast labor, by pro-
duction to meet not only today's de-
mands but also the extraordinary
needs of reconstruction, can anything
resembling the pre-war normal con
ditions be restored. Only by gen
uine and intelligent determination o.
each man to do his utmost can there
be stable rehabilitation.
Premier Clemenceau spoke to the
Alsatians. But his message was de-
livered to the world. This wonder
full old man, now about to lay aside
the burdens of world responsibility,
has made his final appeal. 1t is an
appeal to all nations and all races.
'Work!" -Cleveland Plain Dealer.

and third games. In the second game
the score was to 0 In favor OF Gray
