sion be driven into unionism, the wealthy class will establish more pri- yate schools; the understanding and sympathy between rich and poor will be almost entirely lost. Class hatred will increase. War and industrial chaos will resulte.
 T hope the teachers of Santa Bar bara will not be driven to take such step yet. But can we blame them? They see the plumbers, the carpenters, bricklayers and mechanics securing an increase in wage commensurate with the increased cost of living by forming unions. Why may they not secure the same?
 Both teachers and public do not understand the far-reaching evil of this step-the widening breach be- tween capital and labor, the severing of the strongest bonds that hold our civilization together Teachers should hesitate and weigh heavily before they unionize; the public should stop and consider means to treat the teachers justly and not drive them into the arms of unionism."

ABE VAN VECHTEN IS
 ASSISTANT MANAGER
 TO AUTO DISTRIBUTOR

The Seattle Post Intelligencer, of a recent date, contains a picture and the following announcement in reference to former Cordovan, which will be read with interest by his many friends here:
 Announcement of the appointment Of A. Van Vechten to the important post of assistant manager was made late last week by w. L. Eaton, dealer in Dodge Bros.'s motor cars and Republic truck distributor for Western Wash tngton, arousing much interest in bus1- ness circles of the city as we'll as along Auto row.
 MT. Van Vechten, because of his for mer association for many years in charge of the Seattle branch of Holly wood Farm and treasurer for the Fred S. Stimson Company, is widely known in Seattle as an efficient and aggres- sive executive capable of mastering the details connected with big or ganization.
 His business experience also dates back to his early years with the J. Pierpont Morgan Company and with the Copper River & Northwestern Rail- road, the latter service beginning when he came west from New York City.
 In creating the post of assistant manager MT. Eaton took another big step forward in his plan of organiza' tion which when completed will be one of the most comprehensive in auto- mobile circles His selection of MT. Van Vechten for the post came only after the most careful consideration in view of his plans for organization growth.
 That the choice was wise one was indicated when during the removal from the former home at Broadway and East Pike to present temporary quarters at Tenth avenue and East Seneca, pending the completion of the new building, the work was so handled that there was scarcely ripple of in terruption in the business.

HER BERT WARD
HERE IN 1915.

It NAV be recalled that Herbert
Ward made a tour of the United
States, lecturing in behalf of the
French Ambulance Corps, in the
summer of 1916, having been in
valided from the front in the Vosges.
In fact. his health was completely
wrecked by the injuries. the hard
ships and the fatigues which he en-
dureC while serving as a stretcher-
bearer-he had been turned down

from his superior officer in the
expedition. while the thrilling tale
of his descent of the KOngO from
Stanley Falls in thirty-fve days
alone in a canoe bears ample testi-
mony to his rcsourcefulness and
courage.
Ward, who might have retaliatcd
against Stanley by revealing the mys-
terry of Barttelot's fate which he car
ried with him to the grave, was edu-
Gated at Mill Hill College, now the
home Of CD. Lord Cheylesmore and
OF his American wife, the former Miss
Elizabeth French, OF New York. In
those days Mill Hill was the training
school for the Indian civil service.
Ward left at the age of Is for New
Zealand, and at Il was in the service
of the North Borneo Company He

phasiZed when the poppies are
swayed to aud fro by the breeze.
The sight Is very moving. particu-
larly when one recalls the strange
luxuriance with which poppies al
ways grow on battlefelds freshly
watered with human blood.
1t would be well for Americans to
see that scarlet sea around Verdun
and now covering the other great
battlefields OF France in order to ap-
preciate at their true value the ter
rible sacrifices OF life which she has
made during four years or more to
win this great war for the sake OF
civilization and for the emancipation
of the world from the menace of
Teuton militarism and Gerrnany's in
sane ambition for the political and
economic supremacy OF the universe.
The spectacle OF those poppy-man-
tied battlefelds. with natures pail of
red, would have the effect of dispell
ing the impression which Frances
foes are endeavoring to create in
allied countries that she is asking
too much in demanding from her prin-
cipal associates in the entente such
treatment of Germany as will render
her powerless for generations to come
