Work more
Produce more
SAGE more

But we can't continue increasing our
production unless we continue increasing
our railroad facilities.
The farms, mines and factories cannot
increase their output beyond the capacity
of the railroads to haul their products
Railroads are now near the peak of their
carrying capacity.
Without railroad expansion-more en-
gines, more cars, more tracks, more ter
minals-there can be little increase in
production.
But this country Of ours is going to
keep right on growing-and the railroads
must grow with it.
To command in the investment markets
the flow of new capital to expand railroad
facilities and so increase production
there must be public confidence in the
future earning power of railroads.
The nations business can grow only as
fast as the railroads grow.

yey of the waterfront section. The
horles of beggars besetting the visitors
as they attempt to walk through well
paved streets. lined with the lame and
the blind, discourages the visitors.
The chamber of commerce, mindful of
this evil, is trying to end it. for the
organization admits that it is the thing
that turns the tourists away. Aside
from the occupation forces. there are
about 200 Americans in the capital.
Only four full steaming days from New
York, Haiti is lucky If it gets mail in
eight or ten days.
The one hotel here patronized by
Americans sits back toward the base of
the mountainside overlooking the sea
and beyond walking distance of town.
Once acclimated, the resident American
likes the weather. but there never was a
sun in Texas that beat down with the
intensity of this Haitian sun around

LONDON, December S.-The Ameri-
can invasion is capturing British uni
versities. american" is spoken there
even more than English. Nearly two
hundred American students have ma
circulated at oxford, forty at Cam
bridge, sixty at London University
and thirty at Edinburgh. Thirty
American Rhodes scholars are due at
Oxford in January, and there are al
ready thirty-three Canadian Rhodes
scholars in residence there.
Americans are taking an increasing
part in university debating and dra-
matte societies, and they are grad
ually wrestling away the supremacy
in athletics. The use of American
slang, a few years ago regarded as
barbarous and strange, is now so
general as to be almost the rule. The
English students are quick to seize
on American slang.
The entrance of American women at
Oxford is undoubtedly due to the re-
cent granting of full university MEM
hership to women. Their arrival has
introduced real American social life
In addition to the American club there
is now an American Women's Club,
which is the social center for its
members.
The rush of Americans other than
Rhodes scholars is due to the de-
cision to offer the Phi. D. degree as
special attraction to Americans with
bachelor degrees.

SEEK COOPERATION

LONDON, December 11.-Employers
and employees in Great Britain are
making heroic efforts to get together.
Both sides are coming to realize that
cooperation is the price of national
solvency. Labor is gaining ground
morally and materially. Its author
ity and wages have surpassed all pre-
vious records. And it wants still
more. Every sign points to it's get
ting still more.
Some of the ablest employers and
students of economics in the country
have joined labor's demand for a
share in industrial management and
for participation in the growing
profits. Sir l.. Worthington Evans,
minister without portfolio says
,''Workmen must have a greater
direct interest in the results of their
labor. Their genuine interest must
be aroused. They must be partners.
They no longer will live contentedly on
the plane of mere wages. Nothing else
promises SO much toward prosperity
as does the continued Improvement in
the status of the workers."
I'VE are bound to believe in the
Freshman plan" says Sir Samuel
Warning. 1T has already proved a
great success. 1t chooses standard
output for determining a standard
wage, anu as tnlS StdnudTQ output IL
exceeded. all other conditions being
equal wages are increased in the same
percentage.
"Wherever employed this scheme

ldence, improved the timekeeping,
rendered supervision less necessary,
reduced jealousy and increased the
earnings of the men. We employers
must realize that hence1orth only
demonstrably fair treatment of the
workers will bring industrial peace"

sulting from the effort of community,

Of the National Union of General
workers. "What we supremely need
is a change Of spirit Justice and
sympathy must supplant. greed and

make the best system work. Unem-

on the field of battle. Otherwise our
victory after the war never can be

annually during the pilgrimage sea-

the city from all parts OF Morocco to

this time negro and neeress slaves
are grouped together by their different
owners on an open piece of ground.
The buyers then crowd around and

the woman slaves are stip unmarried as
single women usually fetch higher prices
than married women. OF course there
is always haggling over the price, espe-
cially II there is some physical defect,
which is invariably the case The
and male slave is often asked to lift
heavy loads
Contrary to the general belief, the lot
OF the slave in Morocco is COMPARE

as fifteen slaves all occupied, say. in pre-
pairing tea for their masters guests. In
Fee and Marrakesh woman slaves are
taught to dance and their entertainment
reminds an onlooker of the Arabian
nights.
At present traders caravans are
fighting shy of Wazzan, and no slaves
have entered since the French authori-

BERLIN, December IA German
school of political science. the dream
of the former chancellor, DR.. Won
Bethmann- long before the
world war. at last has been estab-
lished in Berlin. The dedication Of
the new school was made the ocea-
sion for much congratulatory talk by
high German officials, who expressed
the opinion that a line of statesmen
would be developed by the new insti-
tuition to direct the progress OF the
German republic toward its former
high place among the nations.
Foreign Minister Simons in an ad-
dress declared German statecraft had
always lacked trained leaders thor
oughly schooled in political science
and for that reason the people had
had small faith in their officials. He
hoped that the new school would help
establish such a faith.
Plans are to operate the school
along the lines of the Eco1e Lfbre de
