sRoTHERHooDs TO STAY

Cleveland. Aug. 2O.-There is no
danger of the Big Four" railroad
transportation brotherhoods being
drawn into a sympathetic strike. even
should negotiations to end the strike
of the shop crafts workers fail.
This was the declaration made by
Warren $. Stone, president of the
brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and ID. Il. Robertson, president of the
Brotherhood of locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen. on their return to their
homes here late Sunday from New
York and Washington. where for IN
days they have attempted to mediate
the shopmen's controversies.
Neither would comment on the nro~.
ress of the negotiations.
Il can't make any comment on the
progress OF the negotiations" Mr.
stone said. ''Too much has been said
already"
We are acting as mediators only
Mr.. Robertson said. Il would rather
not be asked to say anything until
conferences are over. i can't make
any predictions now"
Asked what position the brother
hoods will be in if the negotiations
fail. Mr.. Stone said, They viii be in
the same position they were in be-
fore. The strike will simply go on.
There never has been any sympa-
thetic strike, nor any considered. There
are safety laws to care for the defec-
tive equipment which would endanger
the lives of the brotherhood and il
viii only be necessary to enforce these
laws" i

The women lawyers who are scour-
ing the archives Of the supreme court
library to comb out all the legal dis
ordinations in the various states
against women occasionally find some
thing to laugh at in their very serious
quest for the glaring inequalities of
man-made laws. The women admit
that, by and large, they get very much
the worst of it, but occasionally the
law turns upon man and bites him.
This they discovered in a bootlegging
case in Michigan, involving also the
making Of white mule: although the
wife was freed because it was declared
the husband was responsible for her
activities, that he alone was head Of
the house and. therefore, the wife, be-
ing a nonenity, could not be respon-
sible for any crime committed even
jointly within the premises.

ARMY IS PREPARED

Washington. Aug. 2O.-Yn order to
be fully prepared for any demand that
might be made upon it in the present
Industrial situation. the war depart
ment is rechecking the occupational
qualifications of the enlisted men of
the army and compiling information
making quick action possible in the
event that federal troops are called
upon for duty in the coal or rail
strikes.
AS part of the departments gen
erai policy of preparedness, corps com
manders are understood to have been
requested to advise officials here how
many men under their command have
experience in railway work and in
what particular branch of railroad
service each is most competent.
Thus far no requests for federal
troops have been received by the de-
partment in connection with either the
coal or rail strike. but Secretary Week,
and his advisers have taken the nnsi-
ton that. should a request come. thev
should be prepared Immediately 10
place all pertinent information before
the president. The order regarding
qualifications of enlisted men in rail-
road work was said TO be based wholly
upon this desire for preparedness and
to Indicate no change of policy on the
uart of the federal government.

| That man was Lord Northcliffe, who's,
death was almost as much of a shock il
washington as ii was in London. More
than once toward the end of 1916 ant
in the beginning of 1917 it was said il
Europe:
This is Northcliffe's war"
The English said it, some with pride
and some with envy. The French real.
lied it, for their sole dependence ir
those crucial years was in Britain. Ger
mans said it, because they realized that
so long as Northclffe remained power
full in England there would be no
patchedup peace. Lloyd George him
self would have never dared to deliver
his famous knockout speech if he
had not had Northcliffe standing solid
ly behind him. And there was reason
to the remark that it was Northcliffe's s
war. Northcliffe had toppled kitch-
ener from his headstall and had
changed the entire conduct of the war
changed it for the better they all ad-
mitted afterward. Northcliffe put
Lloyd George at the head of the gov
ernment and stood by him. Field
Marshal Haig well knew when he was
in command in the field that North
cliffe could break him.

to the writer one day at the front.
This is a. one-man war .. it is as

At the end of 1916, the British
thought the allies had gained such as
cendancy that the war would be over
with the first early pushes of the fol-
lowing spring; would be over before
America could find her mind and make
a declaration. About this time. Lord
Northcliffe was the guest of the war
II do not want the war to end 30
soon" he said.
ooh. eternal God, why not?" ex-
claimed the dramatic and morOse Gibbs
Because England has not done her
share France has borne the burden
1t would be better for Europe for
England to do more"
And then Winston Churchill spoke
"The war will not be over until
America comes in
Depressing, sighed Gibbs.
''But true" replied Churchill.

of invitations to foreign nations. In
this connection it Is interesting to note
that a score Of new governments In
Europe and other parts of the world
have never before had an opportunity
TO join in n great international EXPOSE
ton and may be expected to be eager
TO make a creditable showing. Like.
wise in the accompanying congresses
and conventions for the discussion Of
world problems noted men possessing
the best minds Of all the peoples Of
the earth may be counted upon to be
assembled and to render the occasion
unique in recording the intellectual de.
velopment of the past half-century and
mapping out what Is yet to be accom-
plished.
The international phase has been
stressed most aptly by President Har-
ding. who sees a new era tttingly sig.
nallzed 'in which men are putting
aside the competitive Instruments Of
destruction and replacing them with
the agencies of constructive peace"
"All races and nations" he contin-
ues, have contributed generously to
bring civilization thus far Oh the way
to realization Of the human common
wealth. Each has contributed of its
especial genius to the common prog

which cannot too often be acknONl-
edged. This is the one debt which
men may 90 on forever increasing,
with assurance that it will impose no
burdens, but only add to their pros

doubt that the great International OK
positions heretofore held have done
much to bring to all mankind q feel

munity in effort. Nor can we ques-
ton, | think. that In this era of larger
corporations and unprecedented eag-
erness for helpful understandings,
there Is peculiar reason for emphasiz-

all the enterprises which promise

When the Liberty bell tolled its i'm

Little Ethel was an only child and

was told to entertain him in the par

A few minutes later the mother,
on her way downstairs, heard the Wis

After the minister had left, the
child was taken to task and asked why

4 o make each part as strong as the rest" was his way of building
awonderful, one-horse chaise that wouldn't wear out till judgment day"
This illustrates a fact that is keeping many doctors busy these days
human bodies, like chaises, break down because some par. isn't as
strong as the others.
Very often it's because of Unbalanced food, lacking in some impor-
tant element of nutrition. This is especially true of ills developed in
childhood, and carried on through life.
Grape-Nuts, that world-famous, readyto-eat cereal, brings the plan
of building each part as strong as the rest-to serve human need. Grape
Nuts contains all the nutriment of those best of the field grains, wheat
and barley, including the vital mineral elements, and lit is a wonderful
food for building and sustaining health and strength.
The delicious favor and crispness of Grape-Nuts make it q well

WITH MOVE TUESDAY
AT EARtHAM COLLEGE

Tuesday afternoon at o'clock will
be the time for all football candidates
for the Earlham college football team
to report to Coach Ray Move for the
preliminary instructions and workout.
A squad of at least so candidates is
expected to answer the first call for
grldTon work. The standards will
be placed on Reid field soon and real
scr1mmage will get under way, after
the candidates have taken off the wire
edge of the opening exercise.
Local Lads Report
Richmond will have a fair sized
crowd of men out in the long list of
candidates. Several members of the
high school team Of last year are en-
tering Earlham this fall and some of
the more experienced are expected to
do something in the way of making
good material for the college eleven.
Those local lads who will try-out
are: Stanley Greene, Thomas Schu-
maker, Maurice Minnick, Wendall
Stanley, Vernon Spaulding and others.
Work on the new indoor field has
been pushed right along, but it will
not be ready for the candidates for the
football team this fall. The pillars are
practically all erected and the side
walls are now being put in.
