Mitchell is idolized by his men. He
went INTO the Spanish war when

he was the first American officer to
fly over the. German lines. and he pre-
pared all the data prior to Gen. Perish

In acquaintins Congress with the need
or greater air defense. Gen. Mitchell
did not mince words as to what might
befall the nation if it overlooked the

FRENCH MAY AID POLES.
Expected to Take Their Side Be-
fore Council in Paris.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
OPPELN, Upper SiIesia. March 22-
Indications in official quarters today
We're that the French section of the
interallied commission would seek to
convince the council of ambassadors
at Paris that Poland had won virtual
ly the entire industrial section of
Upper Silesia, on the left bank of the
Oder, despite the general German ma
jority in the plebiscite.
The Germans are claiming the in
dustial region as a whole by $4,000
majority, and are conceded to have
won the plebiscite by approximately
$4,000. but the French suggest a Po-
lisfi victory by a majority of the
communes in the big mining and in
dustrial centers. Germany won in the
large cities, but the country districts,
being Polish, a. majority of the COM
munes voted for the Polish side. Thus
the French suggestion of giving Po-
land the territory south of Oppeln
and east of the Oder.
British circles are understood to be
not wholly favorable to the French
position. but are inclined to permit
tire council of amba ssadors to decide,
without presentation of any brief on
the part Of the allies.

Hunter Liggett. just retired from

Secretary Weeks says he is very
favorably inclined toward rewarding
Gen. Liggett for his distinguished
war service, and If there appeared to
be "any chance" that Congress would
reconsider its previous action and
assent to the promotion another rec
ommendation will be forwarded by

THE MEN WHO DO NOT NEED A
BOSS
(From Forbes Maeazine)

" oHi VI OCS w GSdLihSt
The kind of worker every en-
ployer wants is one who doesn't
need any bossing. All through this
period Of shrinking business and
shrinking employment, employers
have had to do lot of serious
thinking as to which employees to
let go and which to retain. The
recession has gone so far that most
concerns have had to lay off not
merely incompetent and Indifferent
workers but quite few of real
merit. Some Of those laid off have
unquestionably felt that someone
else should have been the victim.
Now, it is safe to say that employ
ers and executives have been very
largely guided by this simple rule:
Which employees need bcssing;
which don't?
1t costs money to supervise work
ers. Bosses draw relatively high
pay. Many millions of dollars have
to be spent by large concerns in pay
ing salaries to bosses and under
bosses for keeping their eye on
workers. And. unhappily, the per-
centage of workers who need super
vision is large. Let the boss be alb
sent FOR a day with no one to see
that the work is properly done, and
in most places the result would
show that everything had not gone
along as satisfactorily and efficient
ly as usual. In other words, most
workers need a boss.
We all aspire to progress-or at
least we ought to. Well, We are lit
tie likely ever to reach the posi-
ton of a boss until we first cease to

COMMENT over

MRS. BOOTHS PREDICTION


Commander Evangeline Booth, the
capable head Of the Salvation Ar
my in the United States 10 quoted
in a New York dispatch as declar-
ing that "the country is facing the
worst winter industrially it has
known in fifteen years" On at least
one occasion The Exponent, which
has no desire to paf1t a dark pic
ture of industrial conditions, voiced
a similar opinion. This paper be-
lieves that the coming winter is
going to be hard one for the wage
earning class, and therefore deems
it duty to impress upon the minds
of industrial workers the necessity
of preparing as far as they possibly
can, to face the same. Even If there
is a revival of industry this fall 1t
can at best be only partial one.

(From State Public Health SerVice)
The nineteenth century bequeath-
ed us to a great vision of fields
open to our efforts, of great victor
les awaiting the enterprise Of her
ole souls. At the same time it left
US stern knowledge of the neceesit-
les of achievement. The days Of
easy conquest are gone. and more
than natural talents and ordinary
capabilities are needed to meet the
issues. Larger opportunities call for
bigger men and women, and the call
is going out for leaders possessed
of special powers of concentration,
and a deadly persistence Of moral
vigor
Life is a battle at best. Special
power is acquired only by special
effort in the face of opposition
The home, the school. the church
and society in general are face to
face with the fact that the bitter
est fight of the next generation will
be fought within the sphere of char
acter. The present tendency of inter.
national strife is to kill high aspir
alton, degrade ambition and destroy
the personal purity lessons taught
by our fore-parents
Character is the single word that
visualizes civilized man. Social pur
ity is the single condition upon
which all else must rest. Fruit
once blighted by the frosts of pas
sion or eat N by the woms Of lust
may still grow into something near
what nature intended, but perfect
it can never be. The purity of our

SID HATFIELD.
Sid Hatfield in the eyes of those
of his followers who believe as he
did in the right to us a gun freely,
died as he lived with gun in his
hand. The law seemed powerless
against him; the only law that he
recognized was his personal desire,
and he apparently could not conf
prehend the necessity of abandoning
the implements of private warfare
for the protection of the law. He
was an idol; in his peaceful mo-
ments it Is said that he exhibited a
conspicuous kindheartedness which
made him loved by many Of his
countrymen. But his life and death
stand only as another example of
the futility of trying to defy civil
lied standards Of conduct.
