Crisis DralDs Near
In Italian Industry

ROME, March 2o.-The Industrial
situation was rapidly approaching
a crisis today.
During the last week more than
100 plants have closed. The num-
Der of unemployed reaches nearly
100000. More than twice that num-
ber are working only part time.
Lack Of discipline resulting from
the recent industrial uprisings is
credited for the unrest among the
unemployed.
Workers have refused to manu-
facture war material and demand
that owners transform their plants
into dye works.
Manufacturers refuse because of
''the unreliability of work crews.
and excessive demands of the men,"
Newspapers today declared seiz-
ure of plants might result unless a
satisfactory settlement is reached.

not buried in a Roman Catholic

UPHOLD G. A. r. MANTLE.

beg to fatty deny that the man
tie has fallen. and to assert that Il
never will fail, not even when the
last man of the Grand Army of the
Republic is borne to his final rsct-
ing place. 1t is a mantle that knows
no limitations other than capacity
for service. 1t recognizes no geog-
raphy, nationality. creed, color. rank
or degree of service to Uncle Sam.
Since the organization of the United
Spanish War Veterans, more than
twenty years ago, that organization
has enjoyed an ever-incressing
measure of the task Of upholding
that mantle, learning much, profit
ing much, from the teachings and
example Of the older organisation.
The American Legion. too, will
share. and learn, and profit.
We believe that every living vet
eran OF every war should do his
part in upholding that mantle
which he can best do by Joining the
organization to which he is eligible
The mantle is the common heritage
of the former service man; IL is the
concrete evidence Of what he fought
for. 1t Is far too great a burden for
any one organization TO bear, or
even to aspire to:\ its ampfesfolds s

the right. and Uncle Sans are ever

No single organization ever has
claimed. no single one ever will
claim, q monopoly OF endeavor for
individual. national or international
rights. Therefore let IL never again
be printed that the Mantle Of the
G. A. R." has fallen. As long as a
single man lives who has seen serv-
ice In any OF the grand armies of
the United States the mantle of the
original Grahd Army will be borne
aloft on willing hands. and the dear
service to our country, which con-
stitutes that mantle, will never
cease. Not partisan or local or mar

CONSERVING WATERFOWL
BIOLOGICAL SURVEYS TASK.

bhoLoeteAL tthNbt7t Thtn-
How to conserve the waterfowl Of
this country so as TO provide sport
and food for the years to come has
been the object OF investigations Of
bird habits that have been made by
the Biological Survey Of the Depart
ment OF Agriculture.
One important bird producing area
is the Great Plains breeding ground.
where most of Americas ducks and
other water birds spend their sum-
mers and winters This region was
described by Harry C. oberholser at
the meeting Of the Biological So
ciety Saturday night.
In former years millions and NIL
lions Of waterfowl were killed each
year for market or sport. In the
early spring and summer these
birds raise their families in the
marshy shallow lakes of Nebraska
and the Dakotas, and in the larger
breeding grounds Of Central South
ern Canada Thousands of hunters
from all parts OF the country form
erly Joined in the sport OF shooting
these ducks, and the slaughter Of
these birds during breeding and mi
grafton had greatly reduced their
numbers until 1913 the spring shoot
fng was prohibited by Federal mi
gratory-bird law.
When winter approaches the
waterfowl wing their way TO the
shores OF the Southern Atlantic and
the Gulf. and spend the cold season
there concentrated near the coast
DIR. Oberholser said. Here also the
waterfowl. particularly the ducks.
are hunted. but not with the dis
astrous effects Of the spring shoot
ing.
The mallard. teal, pintail. canvas
back. and other waterfowl suffer
from civilization in other ways than
shooting. Draining Of the lakes and
marshes where they nest TO provide
farm land. the building Of summer
resorts near their breeding grounds.
and extensive cultivation OF the sur
rounding country have also caused
their DISAPPEARANCE.

PRESIDENT HARDING.

Three undertakings. above all
others in Importance. await the
new administration. They are of
magnitude sufficient. IL successfully
achieved, to confer distinction upon
any administration. First, the at
titude and relation of the United
States to other nations, which are
the same as its relation to the
league Of nations, must be deter
mined. Second. 1t will be necessary
to revise, and promptly, the Federal
revenue laws. Third, and on this
the welfare and prosperity of the
country depend, measures must be
taken for the readjustment and de-
velopment of our foreign trade. In
these undertakings, and in all Its
tasks and problems, the new ad-
ministration will have the good
will and cooperation, in so far as
cooperation Is needed and can be
given, of the whole country. As
members of his Cabinet Mr.. Hard
ing has chosen men of ability and

them a helpful body of counselors

The first great work Of the new
administration is to leave notnins
undone to restore the spirit OF the
alliance of 1918. What machinery
Is set up does not much matter-the
less Of 1t, probably, the better. But
we must be friends with our
friends. Let US not be ashamed to
declare that our self-interest, a.
well as our interest in the worid's
welfare, requires us to draw near
again to Great Britain, France.
