Albany, N.

 "The first factor in happy life is three meals every day." says the statement. "The next is adeuuate clothing and housing to keep the body warm.

from outside. There is no coal in Italy, no fuel they have to get all their coal from outside, and at the present moment, because the world is holding it's breath and waiting, the great coal fields of Central Europe are not producing except to about forty per cent of their capacity.
 "Now, while we, doubt, the rest of the world is saying. Why does America hesitate? We want to fol- low her? We shall not know which way to go unless she leads; we want the direction of her business genius. We want the suggestion of her experience, but she hesitates; she does not know fhether she wants to go in, or not. And while she does, my fellow citizens, some among us do not know whether we must go in or not.
 Defends Article Ten.
 "There is no more danger of the American people staying out of this great thing than there is of our re- versing all the precedents of our history, forgetting all the blood that has been split, so much precious blood to the state. But, in the mean time, the delay is endangering the whole world and ours, of course, along with the rest, because we are, from the beginning, in my opinion, fundamentally an important part of the world.
 "Now Article ten has no operative force in it unless we vote that it shall operate. will tell you what Article ten is. I think I can repeat it almost verbatim. Under article ten, every member of the League understakes to respect and preserve territorial integrity-to protect and preserve against external hg gressions and sustain the political independence of the other members of the league. So far so good.
 "The second sentence provides that in case of necessity the coun- cil shall take such steps as are ne- cessary to carry out the obligations of that conference, that is to say, what force is necessary there. Now, the council cannot give that advice without unanimous vote. It can't give the advice without the affirma- tive vote of the United States un- less the United States is a party to the controversy in question.
 Let us see what that means. Do likely to disregar xz xz
 vou think that the Uniter States is likely to seize somebody else's ter ritory? Do you think that the United States is likely to disrecard the first sentence of the article? And if she is not likely to begin an aggression of that sort, who is likely to begin it against her?
 "Is Mexico going to invade us and appropriate Texas?
 "ls Canada going to come down With her nine or ten million and overwhelm the hundred millions in the United States?
 Who is going to prab our terri tory? And above all thinos else, who is going to propose who is goino i, to entertain the idea after the rest cf the world has said no? But SUD- pose that somebody does attempt to orab our territory or we do attempt fo grab somebody else's territory, then the war war is ours anyhow. so what difference does it make what advice the council gives?
 80 that unless it is our war we can't be dragged into war with out our own consent. If that is not an open and shut security I don't know of any.
 And yet, that is article ten"

LONDON PAPER PAYS HIGH
TRIBUTE TO J. P. MORGAN
Says Friends of England Well
Deserved Honorary Degree Con-
ferred by Cambridge q.

LONDON. December Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).-The
Spectator points out to Englishmen
that the honorary degree of doctor
of laws conferred by Cambridge Uni
versity on J. P. Morgan Of New York
was extraordinarily well deserved"
Mr.. Morgan has always been a
fast friend Of this country and a hard
worker for closer Anglo-American
understanding" the Spectator con-
tinues. Early in 1915 his firm was
selected to act as commercial agents
for the British government in the
United States. 1t was he who con-
centrated and co-ordinated the enor-
nous orders for war materials. He
also acted as agent for the French
government, and by eliminating com
petition in prices and deliveries he
probably saved the allies hundreds OF
millions Of pounds.
"It was Mr.. Morgan again who
took the chief part in placing on the
American market the Anglo French
loan for f100.00O.00O. a loan unprece-
denied in the history of external
loans by any government. He re-
fused to accept any remuneration for
placing this loan. His work in using
British securit' to- stabilize the eX-
change was "a invaluable.
He has done more than risk his
fortune in the cause of the allies
he has also risked his life. His es-
cape from the German assassin who
twice wounded him was narrow one.
Englishmen may we'll rejoice in any
honor which can give some satisfac-
ton to Mr.. Morgan"

IMPORTANT DATA ON

Salaries of Girls in Factories
Range From $500 to

Mary Anderson, director of the wom-

Labor A report on a survey has just
been published by the bureau, which
shows that the commonest weekly

season. and $3.50 in the busy season.
This includes whatever war increase
there was.
The total output of candy in the
United States. according to the 1914
