LODGE EXPLAINS
STAND ON PEACE
Denies Democratic Platform Charge
That He Was IncOnsistent-Mis
represented, He Says.

Concord, N. H. Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge speaking here before the
Merrimac County Republican Club,
accuses the Democratic party of "un-
limited Misrepresentation of we'll
known facts in its platform reference
to alleged Inconsistencies in his atti-
tude on the making of peace with Ger
many.
81 am charged with Inconsistency,
said Senator Lodge, "becaus in an adj
dress | disapproved of deserving our
allies and making separate peace in
the midst of the war, and yet was
willing to make separate peace with
Germany two years and a half after
that speech was made, and when all
our allies had left us and had them
selves made peace with Germany
was right on both occasions and en-
tirely consistent"
Il think | am safe in saying" he
continued, that never before has the
declaration of the principles of great
national party carried an attack on
any individual member o fthe opposite
party. But the Democrats at San Fran
cisco selected me by name for a sub
ject of attack in an effort apparently
to prove that | had been inconsistent
What they did exactly was this :
They quoted from what they called an
articles of mine which they said ap-
peared in the Forum magazine of De-
cember. 1918, in which / had de-
nounced any attempt on the part of
the United States to make a separate
peace with Germany at that time. On
the publication of this statement In
the Democratic platform many of the
leading newspapers of the country i'm
mediately pointed out that the article
in question was not published in the
Forum of December, 1918, but appear
ed in the Forum of June, 191S-that is,
appeared while the war was at its
height and before the great advance
which resulted in victory.
1.-THE falsehood was so fragrant that
the Democrats admitted it themselves
and changed the date of the statement
several weeks later in the official pub
LEGATION of their platform to June, 1918,
This, of course, destroyed the main
point of the attack and got rid of the
most obvious lie, but it still remained
with large burden of falsehood upon
it, because in the article as published
by the Forum in June, 1918, theer was
note appended saying that this arti-
Gle was an address delivered by me be-

Washington eight hour day is
not only more efficient than the 10
hour day in industrial plants, but it
is more economical, is the verdict Of
the United States public health ser
vice, whose experts have made a
three-years' study of conditions and
production in standard factories OF
both classes.
The report is complete vindication
of organized labor's position on this
question
The plants surveyed were selected
after a great deal of care. Each is
a modern factory, employing such 4
large number Of workers as to make
any conclusions reached apply to m
dustry in general The other eonsid-
GRAFTON was that the machinery, man
ufactured product and processes in
the 10-hour plant should be sufficient
" similar to the eight-hour plant TO
make a fair comparison.
The advantages are all in favor Of
eight-hour days, or shifts, as compar-
ed with the l0-hour day, and relate to
maintenance of output, to lost time
and to industrial accidents
Here are the main conclusions
summarized,
Maintenance of Output The out
standing feature Of the eight hour day
is steady maintenance Of output The
outstanding feature Of the lo-hour
system is the decline of output
Lost Time Under the EIGHT hour
system work with almost full pove,
begins and ends approximately on
schedule, and lost time IS reduced to
a minimum Under the 10-hour sys
tenn work ceases regularly before the
end Of the spell and lost time is fre
quent
Stereotyped Output Under the 10
hour system the workers seem to ar.

FEELING IN GERMANY
AGAINST ENGLAND IS
STILL VERY BITTER

LsY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wrEEl
Kiel, Feb. 27.-The intense feel
ing still existing in Germany
against England was manifested to-
ward some British officers who
accompanied the inter-allied COM
mission of control on a recent visit
here. The town was crowded with
German sailors who were clean and
smartly dressed. They passed by
with averted faces. but the civilians
on the contrary showed the keenest
interest and stared at the visitors,
occasionally remarking, Colt
strafe England" The British Wis
itors took no notice and walked on,
followed by train of small boys,
many of whom repeated in childish
treble, "Gott strafe England
at intervals.
The shopkeepers, however, were
quite friendly and trade became
very brisk.
Further evidence of the present
attitude of the Germans was forth
coming at the Kiel canal, where the
children gathered on the banks in
variably shouted out the old cry,
Colt strafe England"
One man cried, 1--WE will have
you yet,," while the final effort
at the close of the return journey
was that of the optimist who pro-
claimed: 1--WE shall have another
war in five years time"

BRADSTREETS REVIEW.

New York, Feb. 27-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say:
A rather more pronounced ten
dency to conservatism, with
somewhat quieter tone character
ICES the general business situation.
There appears to be a disposition
on the part of buyers to go more
slowly in making purchases and to
look into conditions with greater
care. Thus we find indications
that to a growing degree, buyers
confine themselves to meeting i'm
mediate requirements while limit
ing their commitments for the fu-
ture to a portion of their antici-
rated needs. Some of the trade
reports tell of transactions being
in excess of those for some time
for last year while showing a fall
ing off from recent weeks. The
complaint of scarcity of merchan-
disc continues to be widespread.
Manufacturing continues active,
concerns in most sections being re-
horted as working to capacity but
buying still lags behind in spite of
stimulus of high prices. A feature
of the general situation is the
marked activity in building though
the potentalities of this movement
are limited by the scarcity and
high prices of materials. and by
enhanced labor costs.

ADVERSE TRADE
BALANCE Of CT.
BRITAIN LARGE

IVY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wlEgl
London, Feb. 27.-Great Britain's
adverse trade balance for the year
amounted to f669,O0O,000. Against
this will apply Britains Invisible
exports" which have been estimat-
ed by the board of trade at f400,-
100000 for freight charges, $780,
100000 in interest on foreign in
vestments, and f40,000,000 in in
surance charges, bank charges,
commissions etc. These would
total f520,000,000, leaving an adj
verse balance of E149,0OO,000, as
A considerable reduction of the.
excess of imports over exports is
expected in 1920 for two reasons
in particular, says the American
chamber of commerce in London.
First, the imports in the early
months of 1919 are stated to have
consisted largely of balances of de-
liveries of war materials which
will, of course, not reCur in 1920.
Second, 1919 was largely a year of
restocking for British manufaC-
turers. In 1920 therefore the
American chamber says, Britain
SllOhlu bS dDlt W save dttuI uillSlI
on imports of raw materials while
the exports of finished goods should
be increased.
Despite the fact that Britain
1919 imports were more than twice
her 1913 imports in value, the
American chamber points ont thai
they were less than four-fiftn the
1913 imports in quantity. The
average cost of 1913 imports fig
ures out at ABOUT fla ton; i'll 1919
it was about E41 a ton. Great Brit
aoin is still importing less than her
pre-war quantities.
A review of the monthly totals
shows an almost unbroken rise IN
the export of British goods, cul-
minating in yearly total of prac-
tically E793, 100000. OF this $685.
100000, or almost so per cent were
manufactured articles, a tribute to
the degree to which British pro-
Guction is under way despite the
gripping difficulties of industrial
disputes since the armistice.
According to the American
chamber, prospects for British
trade for the coming year, both for
export and re-eXport, are unusually
promising.

CONSCIENCE OR FEAR
PREVENTED ESCAPE OF
YOUTHFUL BANK R0BBER


. Los Angeles, Calf, Fob. III
Conscience, or fear, prevented The
escape of Roy Pierce here recently
after he had participated in bank
robbery. Pierce, lad of nineteen,
was the fourth and last of the rob
bers to be captured. and like his
comrades he promptly confessed
his part in the affair. He was not
taken until a week after the rob
berry. Then he was traced by his
handwriting, specimens of which
were compared with hotel registers
until he was located.
81 tried to get away he told the
police, "but every time | left my
room, detectives followed me, and
| was afraid to take a train. l
went out lots of times, but | knew
you were watching every road and
every train and that every auto
mobile rental company was on the
lookout for me, and | just simply
couldn't get away
The detectives listened gravely;
but once outside the boys cell, they
smiled. The fact was, they said.
that they didn't know who the
fourth man was, were not watching
Pierce, had no clue but the hand
writing, and were not sure he was
the man even when he was arrest
ed, until search of his belongings
disclosed part of the stolen money,
and brought forth a confession.
