To this expert opinion President Will
son took exception. French military
occupation Of the left bank OF the
lSnlne was Inconsistent with his IA
points, In this contention the presi-
Gent was supported by Lloyd George
Britain and the United States safe from
az chance OF n German invasion, sepa-
rated by sea from Germany and doubly
insured by the elimination Of the Ger.
man tleet, vetoed the decision Of the
greatest living soldier and refused to
france her natural frontier,
The French then asked that some sort
or supervision of German military es-
adjustment be provided for in the
league OF nations and that there should
bc included in the league Of nations
covenant some provision that in case Of
German aggression against France, all
the nations In the league should auto
Ilatlcally declare war against Germany.
Again Mr.. Wilson objected and found
British support. Thus the second log
zeal line Of French protection was abol-
ished. In both cases the sacrifice Of
FTench interests was asked In the name
OF Mr.. Wilson's league Of nations.
AS a consequence, France, In sur
rendering guarantees OF her own choos-
ing against German attack, found her
self obliged to ask OF the nations and
statesmen who had insisted upon the
sacrifice some assurance against n new
German invasion. Obviously France
alone could not defend herself against
Germany II Germany were able without
allied supervision to prepare such an
invasion and French armies were not
permitted to meet 1t at the Rhine bar

Pledge Essential.

Inc french demand, then, was for
precisely the guarantee which Mr.. WI
son and LLOYD George have furnished
IN the trinartite agreement, now under
general discussion. In effect America
ana Britain, as represented In Paris,
said to France: III you will resign
your claim to your natural military
frontier we will pledge our respective
countries to come to your aid at once
and to the limit OF our ability"
without such a pledge France could
not have accepted the terms OF peace
as outlined In the Versailles document.
Had the Clemenceau cabinet failed to
obtain such a substitute for the condi-
lions prescribed by Foch and indorsed
by every soldier Of standing In the
world 1t would have fallen, In fact only
the announcement hat such a pledge
had been obtained saved the Clemen-
ceau government when 1t became known
that this government had consented to
Mr., Wilson's demands.
Now the whole treaty of peace with
Germany, so far as France Is concerned,
is based pon the essential condition
that the United States and Great Brit
ain guarantee their protection and sup
port to France in case France is at
tackled. We have, In effect. persuaded
the French to consent to an arrange
ment OF her eastern frontiers which
viii leave her open to new invasion
unless the Germans know In advance
that such invasion viii bring them in
stantly into collision with the United
States and Britain.
II the United States now defaults. II
the senate now rejects the engagement
Of the president, II 1t declines to as
sure France Of the support the presl-
dent has promised, observe what the ef-
feet win be. France viii again be open
to invasion: she will he open to In
vasion because she has agreed to sur
render her natural line OF defense at
the request of Britain and the United
States on the express condition that
both these countries promised her to
come to her assistance II the Germans
attempt to follow their old PATHWAYS OF
invasion.

MOST CHIVALROUS
 ARMY IN HISTORY
Woman 'FY" Workers Lonely
 Pilgrimage.

Doughboys of the A. E. F. are bring ing home with them the finest thing in their lives abroad-their ideal o1 American WOmanhoOd.
 An American woman says so; 8 woman who has traversed France in every kind of conveyance to sing and talk to the boys in every sort of place; a woman who has read burial services over the dead and has sung to boys dying in her arms.
 Her name is Mme. Ada Turner Kurtz She has studied the doughboy to bet ter advantage, perhaps, than any other woman in France, for she was the only woman Y. M. c. A. worker abroad who held rowing cOmmis- sion," and who went wherever she believed she was needed, from the forests in the South to the war zone in the North and the occupied terri tory along the Rhine. She was a Y M c. A. entertainment and religious unit" of one-until she became voice teacher to musician-soldiers in the Army of Occupation, with German officers apartment for her studio.
 The A. B. F. in Mime. Kurtz's opinion was the most chivalrous army in his tory. They gave to women the high est tribute of respect and considera- tion This was their attitude to the women war workers, and if it changed the woman, not the Y. M. c. A. or the doughboy, was at fault.
The Connecticut labor press., 1919-10-04

She tells of her lonely pilgrimage into the forests of the Bordeaux re- zion, to tell the impatient young sol diers of the s. o. s. that their job was vital. She tells of surprising a unit that hadn't seen an American woman for months, deep in a French forest i; how they seized her, set her upon 8 box, scrambled for "slum" and knives and forks and spoons, every men eager to do something for her. And she tells how some of them would reach out and touch her, just to prove that she was real.
 Moro han all else, Mime. KurtZ de- clares, $ ne doughboy craved the motherhood of womanhood. They sought it from all the women workers, whatever their age. They wanted a woman with whom they were free to talk, to whom they could take their troubles, and show the pictures they all carried of beloved women at home. The fact that the women war workers could satisfy this craving. Mme.

WOMEN WORKING IN
 GAINFUL OCCUPATIONS
Statistics to Be Presented at In ternational Congress of Work
 ing Women This Month.

Washington, Oct 3.-Mary Anderson, chief of the Women's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor, has sent out a call to state departments of labor asking them for their aid in making survey of the number of gain fully employed women in the United States who are supporting dependents and the average weekly salary of such women.
 This material is being gathered for use at the International Congress of Working Women, called by the National W0men's Trade UniGn League of America for October g and at the In ternationa1 Labor Conference October 29, when the problem of the women wage earner with dependents will be given special consideration. Miss An derson, as secretary of the committee on international relations of the Women's Trade Union League, is secretary of the committee on arrangements for the h. ternational Congress of Working Women.
 Miss Anderson's letter to the state in dustria1 commissioners says that "the war has forced to the attention of all many important facts relative to con- ditiOns of employment as we'll as the status in general of the 100000 or more women employed i'll gainful oCCu- pations in cur country. One of these facts is that a large percentage of the women wage earners have been paid wage based upon old traditions that women have not the same family re- SpOnsibility that men have. If the cost of living is taken into consideration it is based upon the individual cost rather than based upon the cost of a family maintenance. Such statistics as we have tell Us that very great percentage of the wage earning woman are wholly or in part supporting families or have oth- CT dependents.
 "A recent survey in one of our states, brought out the fact that 3,779 women were supporting 7,206 children under the age of 16 years. The report has not been completed at this time so that in formation as to earnings of this par ticular group cannot be given, but 71.4 per cent. of 51 ,361 wage earning women were receiving less than $14 per week. The responsibility to dependents Is not peculiar to the wage earning mothers only, for great numbers of single wom- en i'll every state i'll the Union are strug- gling to support mothers or fathers or both, or younger sisters or brothers"
 Miss Anderson, in requesting any in formation which state departments of labor might lave on this subject ex- p1ained the uses to which 1t was to be put both by the International Congress of Working Women and the Interna- tional Labor Conference in discussing problems of wage earning women sup porting dependents.

 The singer tells the story of one youth whom she picked up dying and carried to a hospital. AS she held him, he opened his eyes and said, Mother" She told him she was not his mother, but 1t was all right, he was to go to sleep. Then he said, Thank God you're a woman" She tells the story of Scotch boy who thought he was dying. She went to him and asked him what she should sing.
 Sing Annie Laurie,'" he said And she sang it.
 He did not die. Later she had op- portunity to ask him why, when he thought he was dying, he asked her to sing that song.
 Don't you know" he answered "that every man in khaki has al Annie Laurie for whom he would lay him down and deer"

THE THINKER.
By BERTON BRALE1

By BERlON BRALEY. Back of the beating hammer
 By which the steel is wrought, Back of the workshops c1amor
 The seeker may find the Thought Ire Thought that is ever master
 Of iron and steam and steel, That rises above disaster
 And tramples it under heel! The drudge may fret and tinker
 Or labor with dusty blows, But back of him stands the Thinker The clear-cyed, man who Knows; For into each blow or saber,
 Each piece and part and whole, Must go the Brains of Labor,
 Which gives the work a soul Back of the motors humming,
 Back of the belts that sing, Back of the hammers drumming.
 Back of the cranes that swing, There is the eve which scans them Watching thru stress and strain, There is the mind which scans them Back of the Brawn, the Brain Might of the roaring boiler,
 Force of the engines thrust Strength of the sweating toi1er,
 Greatly in these we trust. But back Of them stands the schemer The Thinker who drives them thru Back of the Job-the Dreamer
 Who's making the dream come true

rom the Ashes offWar ---a Better Tomorrow

THE ashes of war are shoveled away, but the A added equipment which war forced the nation to build is still standing. Out of this resource, America will forge large future.
 Hundreds of millions of dollars are released for new enterprises. Listening ears hear the hammer and clank and whirr of peace-tine production.
 It is the beginning of Something Better GUT in the trenches, banker and bricklayer, o lawyer and farmer, professor and black smith, have joined in a common job-the biggest job in history-the blanketing of the globe with democracy. And the job is done.
 And now these men lay aside their weapons to return to industry. They have learned de- mocracy in bitter school, and it is natural that they should want the spirit of that for which they struggled and suffered to dominate the new era.
 And we, who stayed at home and produced the materials to sustain their fight-What of us? Have we kept pace with the ideals for which they fought?

BARBERS' PRESIDENT
 DECIDES FOR PUGLISl
Head of Journeymen Barbers International Union Settles 8
 Dispute of Middletown Men.

Midd1etown, Oct 3.-The report of the General President of the Journey men Barbers' International Union of America made to the 14th convention at Buffalo gives the correspondence of a dispute in the MiddletOWn Local union, as follows:
 "Middletown, Conn. "MR. FRANK X. NoscHANG,
 General President:
 Dear Sir and Brother-I hereby in- form you that our regular meeting was called on the 18th of May at 8:3O p. m. in order to elect a delegate for our coming convention. There were present eight members, absent one. In the order of business a communication as to our coming convention was read and ac- ccpted and laid over to new business. Nomination was opened to elect a delegate, and the recording secretary stood up and nominated Brother Steph- en Pug1iSi which was seconded. The chairman put the motion to the body and prolonged the business all he could and asked if any questions or remarks were to be made. No one said a word, no competitor was chosen and 1 was voted and carried almost unanimously. "A few days ago, the 27th inst, an other meeting was held, at which one of the brothers protested that my cleo ton as delegate was not legal. His claim was that not sufficient time was given to express himself. The chair man acted very partial. Without any consideration of our rules of order they have annulled my election as delegate to the convention. With minority mem bers not enough to form a quorum to transact business they have taken action and appointed Brother V. Filoramo. The local executive board, with the ex- ception of the chairman, demanded Jus tice, proceeding until they walked out of the meeting room, and they will not recognize such action.
 Now 1 appeal to you as General President under the rules of order i'll our manual, No. and Mo- II, if 1 am entitled to be the legal delegate to rep resent Local GAS to the incoming con- vention or V. Filoramo? 1 remain,
 "Fraternally yours,
 STEPHEN PUGLIsI,
 ''Vice-President Local No. 648.' STEPHEN PUGL1s1,
 'MiddletOWn, Conn.,:
 Dear Sir and Brother-Replying to yours of a recent date l will hasten to saw that within the meaning of our laws delegates to our coming convention shall be elected at the first regular meeting of the local unions ;n the month of May, and therefore your election which took place on the 18th inst, makes you the recognized delegate of your local union, and no one other than yourself, coming from vour local union, will be seated as a delegate. Hence you will know that you are the recognized elected delegate coming from Local Union Mo- GAS, all of which hope will prove satisfactory, while am, as ever, with very best wishes,
 Yours fraternally,
 FRANK X. NOsCHANG,
 General President"

pELIEVING that American industry is D going courageously toward it's greater destiny, we wish to state the basis for our own faith.
 Four years ago in our house publication, '"The Hydraulic Press we went on record with all of our own people as follows:- -''We arerapidly coming to the time when the phrase Capital and Labor will be forgotten. All those connected with business will be banded together for one purpose-the success of that business, be- cause each one connected with it will be getting that part of the success to which he is entitled" The working out of this principle in our case has not always been easy. We have made our mistakes. We know that we have long way yet to go.
 We can, however, report these practical bene- fts-a quality and economy of production we had not known before, growing measure of profit, and, last but not least, a feeling of mutual content running far beyond our hopes.
 This is the first of series of articles to
 regularly in us publication.

DR.. MALONE WRITES OF
The ELLIS HEALTH LAW

We have the following letter from
Dr. j. D. Malone written several days
ago, and before the meeting of the
commissioners on Tuesday, when the
operation of the law was agreed to,
but as it has some points of interest
relatives to the law we publish the
letter anyway.
Editor Marietta Journal:
l read with special interest the
editorial n your last issue regarding
the action of the second consecutive
grand jury in recommending the
adoption of the Ellis Health Law.
You state however, that you have
heard rumors that it may not be put
into operation for lack Of funds, but
you also very properly say that if the
people generally understood the bene-
fits that would be obtained, they
would demand that it be put into i'm
mediote operation.
In company with DIR. Hagood, Of
the state board of health, a number
of us Cobb county physicians went
before the recent grand jury, and
asked them to recommend the adop-
ton of this law, which they did with
out dissenting vote.
AS practicing physician at Ma
rietta for some thirty years, and most
of the time connected with both the
city and county boards of health,
desire little space in your paper
to explain for the benefit of your
readers what this law is, and some of
the benefits that should follow its
operation.
The act provides that when two
consecutive grand juries recommend
its adoption, it shall become obliga-
tory on the county board of health
and the county commissioners to put
it into operation. And the operation
of the law con only be suspended,
by the recommendation of two con-
secutive grand juries.
The law calls for the employment
of Commissioner of Health for the
county, who shall give his entire time
to the dutires of the Office. He must
be licensed physician, able-bodied,
temperate, and of good moral charac-
ter, and is selected by the county
board of health from a list furnished
by the secretary of the state board
of health. This list shall contain only
the names of those who have passed
a satisfactory examination in hygiene
and sanitation, and the state health
laws.
The secetary of the state board of
health shall supervise the work of the
commissioner, and shall have author
ity to suspend him at any time for in
competency, neglect of duty, and for
other causes. His reports are made
