Mrs. Viola Kraus Qeft), with
whom Elwell attended a dinner

Additional Labor
Needed on Farms,
Says League Head
BY Universal Service.

New York, June 20. - The high
cost Of eating will be even higher
next winter. unless additional labor
for farms of the country is provided
at once. was the declaration OF
Charles d. Orth, president Of the Ma
tional Security League, contained in
a statement issued today by the
league. The statement calls public
attention to the seriousness of the
farm production shortage and ap-
peals for volunteer workers for the
farms.
The seriousness of the situation Is
realized by scarcely anyone other
than the farmers, II Is declared. The
average shortage of farm labor
throughout the country. according
to a Department of Agriculture sur
vey. is about 2S per cent. despite the
fact that the wages offered are from
$3.50 to $3.50 per day In addition to
board and lodging.
The league appeals to every per-
son who possibly can do so to de-
vote from a week to a month this
summer to farm work to aid in
keeping down the food shortage
which now seems certain.

GRANGE SPURNS
RADICAL PLEAS
National Body Says Farmers
Repudiate All Partisan
Alignments.

National farm organizations, head.
ed by the National Grange, yester-
day repudiated the effort which has
been made by radical labor and farm
leaders to drag the farmer into poll
tics and stated for the benefit of
all political parties that they do
not participate in partisan politics
or any such activities"
what remains" says the conclud-
ing paragraph of the address, "is for
the whole public to come to a reali-
zation of the fact that the farmers
of the country are sane, sensible,
plain and clear thinking American
citizens who believe in representa-
tive democracy as II exists in the
United States, and not in the Soviet
ism of Russia. the Socialism of Ger
many or the autocracy of Mexico.
The action Of the National Grange
is the second time within the past
few months that it has refused to
affiliate or cooperate with labor in
a political or semi-political move
ment. Last fall when Mr.. Gompers
issued his call for national labor
and farm council, which resulted in
the PRONUNCIATION of labor's bill of
rights" the National Grange sent an
emphatic refusal to an invitation
extended to II.
The Grange now is being support
ed in its stand by the International
Farm Congress, the National Farm
ers' Congress. the Farmers Union.
the National Milk Producers Asso-
citation and the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation, with a combined
membership of several millions.

Welsh miners will mine coal for
Italy, but the Italians must utilize
their sunshine to work instead of
parading the streets Of Rome and
Milan. denouncing England, the
government, and everything else"
The speech was somewhat of a
surprise, il not a shock, to the
Its fians. but in the opinion of this
British labor leader ii Is high time
that labor delegations everywhere
were being shocked into a realiza-
tin Of some of the economic fac
tors which enter into international
relations.
while there are now two classes
of workers. the employed and the
unemployed, there are also two
classes of leaders of these men.
There is one class of cautious con-
servative men who believe that
wages must come down and pro-
duction increase or there will be a
panic. and another class of radicals
who insist that labor must con-
stantly increase it's demands now in
order to produce crisis and break
the capitalist system and bring on
an industrial revolution.
The end of the vicious circle, then.
has apparently been reached by the
inability of the public to continue
the bills, which Is evident in the de-
creased railway travel, a slump In
buying and the firm stand of the
employers against increased taxa.

There are, Of course, still mur-
murs of strikes, even Of genera,
strikes but IL Is fnterestin0 fo an
observer. and perhaps Important to
England's future, that the women
who, now play such a great role in
England's industrial life are against
strikes and they may become a
Florence Nightingale for the nation
in the scourge Of strike fever which
infests the country.

Bronze Medals for World War
Seruice Ready for Distribution
Today to 100000 americans

The army will begin today the
distribution of more than 100000
Victory medals to the men who
served under the American colors
during the world war. The distri-
button will be made from the ONCE
of the depot quartermaster. Phila-
delphia, and the War Department
hopes to complete the work within
three months.
The medal Is uniform in design
with that to be awarded to the SOL
diers Of all the allied nations. but
in each instance there Is some dis
tinguishing national Characteristic.
The American medal is of bronze
and was designed by James Earle
Fraser. of New York.
The first piece from the dies was
sent to President Wilson as Com
mander-in-chief of the army. In
hisletter of appreciation the Presi-
dent said:
81 have received the first Of the
Victory medals struck off to COM
memorate our military participa-
tion in the great war for civiliza-
tion. The technical relation of
chief created by the
Constitution does not permit me to
share in the glory of the sacrifices
and achievements made in a purely
military way by my fellow country
men in arms, but 1t does justify my
treasuring this badge as a symbol
of their greatness in a great cause.
The medals are to be awarde d
for three grades of service: The
medal alone for the men who
served only in the United States: q
medal with one service clasp for
those who served overseas but not
in battle; and a medal with one
clasp for every major operation in
which the recipient participated.
The major operations for which
clasps will be awarded follow:

Jones statement They were built

meet a need that would brook no
delay. They were not built for high
class or special commercial service
and are not suitable for it. We
need, now and up-to-datC passenger

go ships of high speed and tonnage.
We must get them, or our competi-
tors will take and hold these trades.
Our shipping must be handled by

Senator Jones warns the public

fers is the Abnormal overdevelop-

1T is a serious disorder, because
IL carries with il the shadow of
racial degeneration and social de-
cay. This problem is the most i'm
portant and dangerous which con-
fronts New York, America and all
the world at the present hour. 1t
is said that only 80 per cent Of the
teeming millions are identified with
any religious organization-Cath
lie or Protestant-andt that only 3
per cent .of the Jews attend the
synagogues. These facts present a
most momentous and vital issue
We must either Americanize aed
Christianize New York or New York
will speedily Europeanize and pa
ganize u.s."
After comparing theeter attend
ance with that of the churches he
said:
The main trouble with the the
ater is that IL has capitalized the
sacrifice of female modesty and for
base and sordid ends has exploited
the attractions which God has given
girlhood and womanhood for high
and holy ends.
Stage Doubly Afflicted,
THE stage Is suffering from acute
and chronic sexitis. Those who con-
troll it are not only financial profit
eers but sex profiteers of the most
harmful kind.
Il received recently a letter from
a young woman. enclosing a clip.
ping of an interview. with the man
ager of one Of our midnight frolic
productions. He told how he had
gone around to high school and fe-
male college commencements to pick
out the e'prettiest girls in graduating
classes and invite them to come to
New York and enter his show busi-
ness. He said in this interview tina
dramatic talent was not especially
necessary: that the main thing was
physical beauty and that he could
guarantee to any girl who had
beauty a successful career in that
connection. The young woman ex
pressed disgust at such piece of
enterprise and then intimated the
wreck and ruin that had ceme> to
her in this way, signing herself

He limned the relations with at

cast aside after short time for
another and fresher face. He, dwelr

after a cabaret, and then referred
to his death.
TT is idle to try to fix the blame
for the malady of seitis, from
which the city suffers" said the
preacher in conclusion. Both sexes
are to blame-man for his selfish
and cowardly double standard Of
morals, and woman for her slavery
to foolish fashions and her thought
less temptations TO men today. Nor
