the American Federation Of Labor, the
Secretary of War, Newton D. Baker,
and the Secretary OF the Navy, Jo-

sands of prominent men Of the coun-
try who have heartily endorsed the
Salvation Army and who ask the peo-
pie of the country to give as freely to
this appeal as the Salvationists have
given of the time and labors, both be.
fore, during and after the war.
The Maryland General Assembly, at
Its session this year, passed resolu-
tions endorsing the Salvation Army's
work at home and on the battlefield

Salvation Army officials hope not
only to continue all their present hu.
manitarian activities, but to widen the
scope Of many Of them. II the answer
falls short. the plans for expansion and
extension must be abandoned and the
present work perhaps curtailed.
Only small portion of the Army's
work is self-supporting. The rescue
homes for unfortunate women; the
hospitals, including the maternity hos
pitfalls which care for thousands of
mothers of the poorer classes; the
Elnm settlements which are such |
bright spots in the squalor of the tene-
ment districts, demand constant fnan- |
cial aid. The fresh air camps, the |
prison work, and the founding homes |
are supported wholly from the Home
Service fund. The evangelical work,
the bureaus which yearly give away
great amounts OF food, clothing and
supplies to those in dire need, as well |
as many other activities and institu-
lions of the Salvationists, derive their
means of existence from the same
source.
The name of the fund indicates the
purpose for which subscriptions are
sought. 1t is to make possible the i

 A Unique Two-Story Bungalow!
 Yes, it has two stories, but note how cleverly the steep main roof and the two dormers create, the bungalow ef- feet!
 The ornamentation is highly effec- tive, too, yet it's cost is merely nominal.
 The reception hall opens directly off the fine, roomy veranda, thus giving access immediately to the large living room with it's fireplace and built-in bookcases and seats. The library ad- joins the living room. There is an extra stairway from kitchen to second story. In basement are fuel room, boiler room, fruit room and laundry

SAM .GONPERS AND

FORMER SAYS ETERNAL PRlN'
cIPLEs OF FREEDOM, JUSTICE
DEMOCRACY MUST PREVAIL.
THERE is COMMON ERROR "
Gov. Allen Defends Industrial Court
Is Not Representative of Labor or
Capital, But Speaks for Gen.
eral Public.

New York.-Carnegie Hall was
packed to the doors when Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, and Gov. Henry
j. Allen Of Kansas met to debate the
merits of the recently enacted Kan
sas industrial court law and kindred
subjects. Judge Alton B. Parker OF
this city presided and introduced the
speakers.
Mr.. Gompers and Gov. Allen walked
on the stage shortly after 8 O'Clock
while the audience arose and cheered.
Each was followed by large body OF
supporters.
1--WE are now at the parting OF the
ways in the great controversies Whlch
are now occupying the minds OF our
people," declared Mr.. Gompers, the
| first speaker, beginning argument OF
! the debate. ION the one hand, we
have the great constructive movement
| for progress, for civilization and with
all the tasks these impose, and on the
other hand we have those who arde
leading the course of reaction, OF m
Justice, of tyranny. The time is at
hand when there must be determined
whether the eternal principles OF free
dom, Justice and democracy shall hold
sway Or be supplanted by the tyranny
and the injustice of old.
There is common error in the
mind of a large number of our people,
and peoples of the whole world VINO
confuse the term labor and capltaf
as being in exactly equal position TO-
ward each other The fact OF the
matter is that capital is the product
of labor.
"'The difference between a slave and
a free man is that the slave must
work when his master or owner oil
reefs and wills. The free man may
stop his work, and whatever conse'
uueuces of suffering that may be IN
volyed is his suffering and the suffer
ing Of no one else"
Mr.. Gompers' direct argument endeo
amid prolonged applause and cheers
at the conclusion of which a lapol
delegation presented him with a flora
offering. !,
Gov Allen also was greeted VIII
prolonged applause when he was IN
troduced. He lost no time in COMING
to the defense of the Kansas indus
trial court, building his argument OF
tho nromise that ''the safety of thu
public is the supreme law"
He declared this was the funda
mental axiom upon which he and hi
supporters were working and Whlcl
governed his attitude toward capital
: labor and the disputes which arise DC
tween them. He asserted he was no
present as a representative or capita
: or labor but las a representative Q

WILL SAVE PLANT
At MUSCLE SHOALS
AMENDMENT PROVIDING FOR DIS
MANTLING OF GREAT PLANT
HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN.
WILL BENEFIT THE FARMERS
Senator Reed Smoot Finally Agrees to
Abandon Plan Which Would Have
Caused Operations To Cease.
Work to Continue.

Washington.-A provision in the
Notifications appropriation bill which
would have stopped further develop
ment of the government nitrogen plant
at Muscle Shoals, and would have pre-
vented production of nitrate when
may be used to manufacture fertilizer
for agricultural purposes, was so Wig
orously attacked in the senate that l.
was withdrawn by Senator Smoot, oil
Utah.
Senator Oscar w. Underwood, Dem
ocratic leader, drew from Senator
Smoot the admission that the appro'
priations committee had not fully in
yestigated the operation OF the plant
and that the majority members OF the
senate committee acted largely on the
suggestion of the chairman OF one
| Of the house investigating commit
tees. who had objected to the Muscle
Shoals project. Following Senator
TTnderwood's explanation of the. need
of a nitrogen plant, and the effect It's
operation would have upon the coun-
try's agriculture, the Alabama senator
said he would demand roll call on
the Smoot proposal. Later Senator
Smoot withdrew the provision alto
gether. This provision read;
THAT unless specifically authorized
by law, no contract shall be entered
into or obligation incurred or aodl
tional work undertaken at or on &C
count Of United States nitrate plants
No. | and No. 2, situated at or in the
vicinity of Muscle Shoals, Ala, ex

poses"
There is pending bill before tht
senate agriculture committee for the
operation of the plant by corpora
tion in which the government VII
own all the stock.
During the debate with Senator
smoot Senator Underwood showed
that the farmers of the country VII
receive inestimable benefit from suci
