France Pay Honor to u. S. Dead.

Paris, May 3O.-The Stars and
Stripes and the Tricolor of France
flew side by side today over every
American grave in France, while
doughboys and poilus perform ed the
military honors ina great Memorial
Day observance by the French nation.
There were detachments from the
Army of Occupation at most of the
cemeteries, but there were a few re-
mote burial grounds which the Amer
lean troops could not reach, and over
these graves detachments of poilus fir
ed volleys for their comrades in arm.
From every corner of France came
reports tonight of Il great national trib-
ute to the Americans, which made it
seem almost as though France had
overcome for the moment the pangs
of losing nearly 1000, 600 of her own
sons to devote her whole heart to the
10000 crusaders from overseas.
General Allen, commanding the
Americans on the Rhine, sent every
available soldier back into France in
detachments to visit the various scat
tered cemeteries.

Not Seriously Injured.

A report in the Monday Baltimore pa
pers from Hagerstown stated that SIX
persons were injured when the automo-
biles driven by l. j. Fisher of Hagers-
town and Thomas Wills. of Reading, Pa,
came in collision.
Because Mr.. Irwin j. Fisher has many
relatives in and near 1hurmont, the re-
port caused considerable alarm. Monday
noon his brother, MIR. Newton Fisher,
two .brothers-in-law, Messrs Allen ID.
Hoover and Geo. E Wilhide. and a neph-
ew, Mr.. Fisher, left for the no me of Mr..
Irwin Fisher who now resides on a farm
near Clearspring, Washington county.
When nearing his home, they met Mr..
Fisher along the road, he being in no way
injured. His daughters, Nina and Leila,
were at home, the former having receiv-
ed severe cut across the forehead. and
the latter slight cut about the face,
when the machines came together. Their
names appeared in the Sun paper as Nina
and Leila Bishop.
AS stated to US, Mr.. Irwin Fisher and
daughters were on their way to Hagers-
town. Soon after they had left the road
from their home to the State road they
saw a car coming toward them and Mr..
Fisher ran his car far to the right of tine
pike. The driver of the Wills car kept
to the left and the result was headon
collision. The left front of both cars were
damaged, and both had to be towed to
a garage. The apple orchard had moth
were on the pike and in plain view vhen
they came together.

formed church on Sunday morning. There
was special music and an impr essive and
eloquent sermon by the pastor, Rev. M.

an evangelist from Yochow City, China,
who is now home Jon furlhugh was pres

who has spent five years in the work in

personality. Possessed of pleasing
voice and heart full of love for her
adopted people. her stirring address upon
the great work already accomplished and
her plea for deeper. fuller consecra
ton on the part of those in the homeland

gregation. She strongly emphasized the
reat admiration and respect of the Chi
neese for America, therefore making our
opportunity great and our duty clear in
giving to them the advantages of our
civilization and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
During the Sunday School session Miss
zimmerman gave brief talk to the AID,
ult Bible Class. For the children she
sang in the Chinese language Jesus
Loves Me-" and told the children when
they sang this hymn to remember that
every Sunday, In their Sunday School in
China, more than thirteen hundred Chi
nese Riddles were also singing it. Miss
zimmerman was the weekend guest of
Rev. and Mrs. M. l.. Firor. Sheis asso-
ciated in the work with Miss Marion

brings the glad news of Miss Firor's
mastery of the Chinese language. her in

Man Who Tolls Less When
WAGE Goes Up Is a SWindler.

Looking at the industrial panorama
from the many points of view of the var
ious individuals and interests the attra-
tive observer sees just one thing-a loaf
er. He may be full-bred, high-bred,
loafer who does nothing but loaf, or he
may be one of the halfway variety or of
any degree from zero to full capacity in
the line of the loafers accomplishments.
1t appears from information available
to many people that the kind of loafer
the trade prefers is about go per cent;
that is, bargain is made on a basis of
eight hours work and the worker gives
60 per cent of service. The head of the
union states that in the plumbing trade
three units were formerly considered a
full days work, but now it is one and
one half. The leaders make no secret of
such things as general rule, because
they have enough work for their present
supply Of labor and they DOM have to be
fair.
There is an old fashioned thing called
the moral law that used to have certain
function in these matters, and some of
our more aged citizens and would like to
see it come back, just for the sake of
old times. Somehow it seems odd to
those OLD citizens, who were brought up
too strictly, perhaps, for man to agree
on eight hours work and then render
only six hours service. Maybe the old
citizrn is out of his head. But rather
young person was discovered today who,
speaking for himself and other employ
ers. said 1--WE do not mind these advan-
ces IN wages. Some of the workers
have been under-paid; some of them are
under paid now, Therefore, let wages
go up. But when the mangets his wage
he has no right to give no less in service
than he has agreed tog!ve. fine does, he
is "A swlndler.
1t is unpleasant to let affairs take their
course and fall back on the fierce law of
necessity, but in the opinion of some
rather able observers that is a thing
which is going to happen. They say
that not until the man who is brandish-
ing his trowel above your head, in
menacing way, has spent all his money
during n period of idleness and is Won
dering where the next meal is coming
will there be any REIMBURSEMENT Then
employers may get full service
