KHAKI SOLDIERS
D|O~N0T LET UP
And the Nation Will Show
That It Stands Behind Them
in the Victory Liberty Loan
Drive.

More than a million OF Uncle Sans
boys are "over there" looking after
the common good of the world. and
they will have to stay upon the lob
until it is done; until things are right
cd again; until order is brought out
Of chaos.
While they are overseas they must
De taken care Of adequately; they
must be clothed and fed and lodged
comfortably. Uncle Sam estimates
that it costs s42327 a year to equip
and maintain a soldier in Europe.
Part Of the proceeds from the COM
ing Victory Liberty Loan will be de-
voted to caring for the "doughboys.
Fart OF it will go into the rehabilita
Ton fund for putting the injured sol
dlers back upon their feet. Part Of
It will go for insurance claims. The
rest Of it will go to meet the hundred
and one other demands for this great
est of world emergencies since the
dawn Of civilization.
Every mothers son Of them did his
part, helped insure liberty and Justice
Tor the world at large and restore
Uncle Sam to his rightful position in
tbs estimation Of the nations Of
earth.
They did their duty fully, these boys
who won. They fought to the end.
through fire and food They never
talked about letting up.
This sis no. time for Americans to
think Of letting up. The nation must
stand by its guns, by its records; by
Uncle Sam and must make the next
loan another big success.

NO CHANGE IS GIVEN
TO BUYERS IN MEXICO
SILVER IN PESO is WORTH
MORE THAN ITS FACE
VALUE

MEXICO CITY. Nov. 19.-The
most persistent phrase encountered
by the buying public in Mexico at
present is mo hay cambio," there
is no change" The silver in the
Mexican peso. 50-cent piece and the
smaller coins, is worth more than
the face value of, the coin so this
money has been boarded by many
persons and sold for their silver con-
tent.
The result is hat Gambia" or
change, has disappeared and persons
who buy or sell are forced to a
from four to seven per cent for
silver pieces from brokers. Most
merchants refuse to make small
sales if they r forced to give
change, asserting they would lose
money in the transaction.
The 'azteca." or Mexican 20-peso
piece (gold) is practically useless
as money in stores or cafes when
the purchase is for a small amount.
81 might as well be broke as have
an a~zteca," complained an Ameri-
can who was hungry and could not
find a cafe to change his gold. Later
he hit upon a unique scheme. He
deposited the "azteca" with the cafe
proprietor and proceeded to eat at
intervals until he had no more
credit, which with prevailing prices
was not a long time.

U. OF G. AND STANFORD TO Clash
IN AMERICAN FOOTBALL SATURDAY

Holt of Portland, Ore, John Pat
rick of Palo Alto. Ken Lilly of Ash
land. Ore. Paul Stanford, are all
swift runners, and have played con-
sistent ball in the backfield. They
are quick starters and they hit the
line hard. Caughes is probably the
fastest man of his weight on the
coast and as a fair competitor of

man locomotive" full back.
At quarter back, Evans has two
men who are capable to call signals.
Leslie Wark of Long Beach. CAL,
and Pref Holt of Portland, Ore. OF
the two, wark probably will start
the game at quarter. because OF
Hollis stellar qualities as a half
back.
Along the line, Stanford has a
world of weight. Karl Shlaudeman
has played left end the entire sea-
son and has played a quiet, efficient
game. Very few plays have ever
gone around him. The competitors
for the tackles. it is believed, have
centered down to Patrick, Fred
Adams of Sacramento, Cal, Duke
Curtice of Spokane, Wash. Floyd
Campbell of Portland. All these
men are heavy and fast. Patrick
and Curtice have had previous ex-
p~erience at the game. Patrick is
also a capable substitute at full
back in case of injury to Temple
ton. RICHTER of Campbell, Cal. is
the mar who is slated to start at
center. He has played a consistent
game throughout the season, and
has been one of the strongest points
along the line. RICHTER is a prob
able candidate for all star honors.
At guard. Captain REG" Caughey,

trys for the "big game" Evans will

event that Caughey goes into the
back field, Butt will probably sub
stitute at guard. At RICH end. Bob
Pelouze of Medford, Ore. is a sure
starter. Pelouze is the fastest man
on the team and is down on every
punt. a sure tackler.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Cal.
Nov. 2O.-Facing it's first American
style game of football with Califor-
MIA in Ia years here lex Saturday,
the Stanford varsity, handicapped
by years of rugby play, seems to
have accomplished the impossible In
it's development to a team OF I'M
usual power.
Although at the outset of the a
son granted but the faintest hope
of defeating the University OF Cali
fornia aggregation of experienced
players, the Cardinal machine has
almost reversed the dope. and is
figured by many to win the big
western sport classic.
Coach Bob Evans, starting the
season on the assumption that none
of his squad knew anything of the
American game. concentrated on the
essential points of blocking, tack
ling and running. The result is a
team exceptionally powerful both on
the offensive and defensive.
In spite of the strength of the
teams as shown in the preliminary
games. and the confidence in many
quarters that Stanford will win, the
inexperience of many of the menu
bers is still regarded as a serious
handicap. as Calf, rnia at the be-
ginning of the season had more than
a full eleven of former varsity vet
Grams of American style football.
Evans. however, believes the final
two weeks of practice will have elm
mated all crudeness of play aud
that his team will not be affected
with stage fright.
Another thing held to be essen
tial to a Stanford victory is that
the breaks" of the game. the
fumbles, intercepted passes, or
blocked kicks favor Stanford. STAN
ford's team, entering battle on prac-
tically even terms with California,
assuming that the men overcome the
evils of their ineXperience, needs
these breaks of fortune" to win.
Figured on paper, Stanfords
back field is superior in speed ano
kicking to that of California.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-German
opera sung in English will be n
of the unusual features of the Met
ropoltan Opera company's season
which opened here last night. Wag-
ner's 'Parsifal" will be ung but
not in German. 1t has been an
nounced that 'it is not probable
that the German language will be
heard on the Metropolitan stage for
many years."
Another opera by an American
composer will be produced. So far
no American work has remained
permanently in the Metropolitan
repertoire but MIR. Gatti-Casazza has
expressed his determination to pur-
sue the policy of presenting Ameri-
can operas which he adopted on his
taking management Of the company
IL years ago.
"Cleopatra's Night" is the title
of the American opera scheduled for
this season. The book, in two
scenes. is based upo a story by
Theophile Gautier while the music is
by the American composer and con-
ductor, Henry X. Hadley. A young
American scene painter. Norman
Bel Geddes, has provided the stage
setting. The Egyptian queen will
be impersonated by Nine. Frances
Aida.
Eight Americans are among more
than a dozen new artists engaged
for this season. In addition all the
old favorites have been re-engaged.
Whether another Rosa Ponselle has
been found among the americans
remains to be seen when each is put
to the test of singing before a
Metropolitan audience. An interest
ing newcomer from Italy will be
Nine. Gabrielle Beaumont. a young
dramatic contralto, who has won a
high reputation in her native land
and in Spanish America.
During Christmas week there will
be produced here for the first time

of Maeterlinck's THE Blue Bird"
The music IA composed by Albert
Wolff, of the younger school of
French composers. MI. Wolff, who
has been engaged as French con

special translation has been made
and there will be new scenery. quite
different from the traditional setting
heretofore in use. Giovanni Mar

Nine. Matzenauer that of Kundry.
Mr.. Bodanzky will conduct.
During the opening week Caruso
will be heard for the first time in
La Juive" the masterpiece of the
French composer Halevy. This work
is almost unknown in America.
Miss Farrar also will be heard in
a new role during the season, that
of Zaza in Loencavallo's opera of
the same name. 1t is based on the
play of which Mrs. Leslie Carter ap-
peared 20 years ago.
One of Rossini's early operas,
"L'Italiana in Algeri," will be pre-
scented as a real novelty in this
try. 1t is of the buffe type with a
meZzO-soprano in TIE leading role.
This part will be sung by Nine.
Beaumont.
Another Russian opera will be
added to the Observation-Disclosures
sky's Eugene Onnegin,'' never be-
fore given in America and Massa-
nets "Manon" will be revived with
Miss Farrar as the heroine of the
Able Prevost's famous romance.
The Metropolitan opera season
lasts for % weeks. Sixteen visits
are made on Tuesday nights to the
Metropolitan opera house in Phila-
delphia. 1t is also probable that
the company will give it's annual
week of opera in Atlanta, Ca, the
first week in May at the close of the
New York season.
Expenses of producing grand
opera have enormously increased
during the past few years, accord
ing to Mr.. Gatti-Casazza. 1t is esti-
mated that the average cost per per-
Torrance at the Metropolitan is
now between $4,000 and $11. 900.
Prices of orchestra and dress circle
seats have been advanced but the
cheaper seats remain as before the
war.

NEW INDUSTRIAL PLAN
TRIED IN WASHINGTON
LUMBER COMPANY is FIRST TO

TION

BELLINGHAM, Wash, Nov. IS
The ''shop committee" plan of or
ganization apparently has been tried
out with success in the mills of the
Bloedel- Donovan Lumber company
here, believed to be the first COM
pany to try this experiment on the
Pacific coast.
AS a result of the plan, recently
put into effect, some 500 employees
of two mills of the company now
have personal representation in all
matters affecting the industrial rela-
tions of the plants. The plan. it
was announced by the company.

plapts and lumber camps as rapidly
as the men grow into it and become
sufficiently interested to adopt 1t
Publication of a monthly plant or
gan, with the editorial direction in
the hands of the employees, also is
contemplated, the first issue to ap-
pear in December.
The lumber workers appear to
have seized the "shop committee"
plan with enthusiasm. Matters of
personal welfare. safety. sanitation
and wage classification have been
considered by the committee. One
workman's claim for higher wages
was refused by the committee. AL
lowance for overtime suggested by
the committee met speedy agree
ment from the mill officers, and
other questions of working condi-
tions have been settled.
On the workings of the plan.
President j.. H. Bloedel of the mill
company says:
cit is going to remove many of
the difficulties that in the past have
arisen between employer and en-
ploye because of the fact that they
have held aloof from each other.
The elimination of outside interior
ence will follow, because this sys-
tenn will inspire mutual confidence
and reduce to a minimum ranccr
and antagonism."

ARGUMENTS
STOPGtRMAh|AOUSIRY'
MEN OF TWO FAITHS IN THE
SAME FACTORY CAUSE
TROUBLE

BERLIN, Nov. 19.-The German
industrial world is confronted with
a problem in the organization and
operation of councils of wage earn
ers and employees in many lines OF
industry. The National Assembly or
the reichstag will be called upon to
determine whether such councils
shall be made compulsory by law.
This is regarded here as one of the
most difficult questions confronting
the legislators of the republic.
The committee on industrial coun-
ellis of the national assembly APP
proved a draft of a proposed law
by which q council of employees
would be compulsory in every BUSH
ness establishment employing more
than 20 persons.
German newspapers express grave
doubt as to whether the council sys-
tenn will prove a success and assert
that the newspaper industry is
threatened with strikes because of
personal political differences among
their employees. The plan of permit
ting councils of employers to have a
voice in the control of industries
was sponsored and originated by the
majority socialist party. Recently
their own plan has reacted against
them for the independent socialists
have obtained control of the en-
ployes' councils in some metal work
ing plants and have ruled that ma
jority socialists must be dismissed.
When the employers endeavored to
assert the principle that they should
hire men for what they could do,
not because of their politics, the in
dependents replied that it would
be better for members of n politi-
cal faith only to be employed in a
factory so that no time would be
lost in political arguments.
The councils in two of these metal
working shops have unanimously
tOLGu ina HlCniDSiS VI Ohi AZ
party shall be employed in those es-
adjustments. The trend of many
of the councils is frankly directed
against the employment of women in
positions which men can fill.
The council of one of the leading
hotels in Berlin is composed of a
waiter, painter and a fireman. 1t
recently demanded the dismissal OF
a married woman who, with her hus-
band, worked in the hotel, on the
ground that both should not draw
salaries. After the woman protested
the demand was withdrawn but the
council has compelled the manager
of the hotel to dismiss two compe-
tent women employees and replace
them with men.
