EURope,s CRISIS

America is all right We are com.
Portable, woll-fed. busy. orderly. pros
porous. optimistic. But there Is n sad
contrast in the Old World. Peace has
brought to many parts of Europe re.
newed hope of happier times, but actu.
al realization is yet far off. Harold
Williams, an American war CORES.
pondent, gives an appalling picture of
the situation:
Europe Is strewn with cannon, ma.
chine guns. bombs and ammunition
all the leaving of n great war, and
everyone and no one Is master of
these Instruments of destruction
Frontiers are swaying. Agreements
are made and broken There is scarce.
ly n government from the Rhine east.
ward that is not desperately beating
the air today and liable to be swept
away tomorrow.
"Nineteenth-ccntury civilization has
broken down.
81 do not mean merely that dilapil
ated trains crawl dismally: that pos.
tai communication Is hardly better
than IN Napoleonic times; that fam.
Inc and pcstilencc are creeping over
Europe; but that there is a collapse of
human, moral energy, revival of the
primitive, barbaric instincts. and the
fierce cndcavor to have ones own 1T.
tie private win by force.
Little men. often wellmeaning and
sincere. devise shallow plans for COP.
ing with the mcnacing forces of des.
truction. Through all this seething
chaos run evil currents of intrigue
after intrigue. monarchial, Rolsheylst,
financial, imperialistic, clerical. athe.
ist."
And so il goes. The correspondent
himself offers no solution. lie merely
presents the picture, and sums up the
situation by saying that the present
state of Europe can be portrayed only
ny the imagery of inc apocalypse y
which describes the end Of all things
European civilization IL not neces
sarily doomed, for all that, Sanity and
self.control stiil prevail west of tho
Rhine. But the major part of Europe
is plainly in such state of chaos and
helplessncss as it has not been since
the Middle Ages.
So far, then, as America had q duty

rope. our work is only half done Per
hapa the harder task lies ahead. We
have to help Britain, France and Italy
10 bring order ont OF that welter.

CHILD LABOR

Last Spring the federal child labor
law was repealed as unconstitutional.
Since its repeal, and under the pres.
sure of the war upon industry, the
employment OF child labor has in.
creased greatly in those states where
the matter is not under control.
Since many of the states will not
oithor as moral or economic mea.
sure. protect their children, It becomes
the duty of the federal government
to make what provision it can for their
protection. In order to meet this
necessity in some measure the senate
has just adopted an amendment to the
war revenue bin calling for tax of
10 per cent on profits from child labor.
This tax. is far from an ideal solu.
tion of one of Americas gravest prob
lens, but at least it has the merit of
making the punishment fit the crime.
The man who employs child labor
does 1t Tor just one reason-to make
money. The child's soul and body. or
the ultimate economic loss. is nothing
to him; he secs only the immediate
dollar. The only way to reach him
is through his pocketbook. Hence
the amendment which takes the i'll.
gotten dollar away Is good idea as
far as it goes.
The shame remains that in free
America, just hailed with fresh ac-
claim by the civilized world as the
champion OF the downtrodden and op.
pressed, 1t should be necessary to
pass laws to protect our children from
the prOiiteef.

DIED WHILE AT WORK
Paul Haedt Succumbed While En-
pioyed at the Spinning Mill.

Paul Eaedt of 923 North Front
street died very suddenly this morn
ing, being stricken while at his work
of card feeder at the Mankato Spin
ming Mills. He formerly worked as
a section hand, but owing to failing
health was unable to continue this
more energetic labor, and has been
employed lately on a machine at the
mills.
:. This morning while engaged at his
work le suddenly fell in front of his
machine, and fellow workmen who
Immediately surrounded him saw
that he was either dead or dying.
DR. A. F. Kemp was summoned, and
found that the man was dead when
he arrived, having evidently died
about eleven o'clock, few moments
after he was stricken.
Coroner G.. A. Dahl vas summoned
and arranged for postmOrtem to
be held early this afternoon, to
determine the cause of death. It is
thought that death was caused by
heart failure.
The postmortem revealed that the
heart of the deceased was in very
weakened condition, and his death
was probably due to that cause. He
is survived by the widow and family
