 During recent years there have been fragrant instances of men re- ceiving a title when so far as the public arc concerned they have no.h- Ing but wealth to recommend them. Though we British like money as well as any one, we do not place it first in honors and when it is so placed we get angry.

which they have received recently. In Kansas, where the harvesting Is finished, there Is still 6 strong de- mand for farm labor and this situa- tion is reported as general in other agricultural states.
 During the harvest season just end cd, the employment service practically exhausted the supply in furnishing farm help. The farm labor bureau obtained men sufficient to harvest 30, 100000 acres. Somehow, the men thus employed did not become avail able after the harvest for other work but were absorbed either in agricul- tural or kindred industries. At the present time, the bureau is endeavor- ing to obtain farm help for the Texas cotton grower and is having hard time doing so.
 Shortage of Cars
 In anticipation of the new high volume of business activity, the rail- roads are making strenuous efforts to put their rolling stock and motive power in condition. Thousands in ex- cess of the usual number of shopmen are at work on the country's chief carriers with rush orders to repair whatever accumulation of bad order cars may have resulted from the strike. Makers of railroad cars are working overtime in an effort to supply new equipmen The surplus of freight cars reported month or six weeks ago by the railroads has

Italy was believed to be planning the occupancy of Syria at that time and the English suggested Automatically that there would be no objection to Greece invading the country. The Greek troops landed In smyrna under the very guns of British warships and within a few hours after their arrival they measured without req son several hundred Ottoman sub jects.
 French Backed Turks
 The effect of this was electrifying. Turkish subjects, hitherto rent with dissention. rallied to the colors and withing a very brief period Renal had plenty of men. With munitions secured at the beginning from Rus sia, these troops were soon In the field. Then the French. in retaliation for British interference, gave the Turkish force every encouragement and the recent tragedy of Smyrna was the result.
 What the outcome will bo cannot yet be forecast. The Turkish na- tionalist assembly at Angora. follow ing the victory at Smyrna, extended the dictatorship of Renal Pasha and gave him blanket authority to con tinue the war.

 The building trades still are tear ing ahead and show little signs of a prospective seasonal let-down, such as is generally expected at this time of the year. Almost every city or town in the country is building houses at feverish speed and appar- ently expects to continue doing so for at least a year to come.

LABOR SHORTAGE

Special Correspondent of The Age-HeraId

 Washington, September 23.-Al- most overnight labor shortage has come upon American industries. There are more jobs in the country today than there are men to fill them. The situation is rapidly be- comign acute in such great centers as Chicago, Philadelphia and Pitts burg, and a national dearth of skilled and unskilled labor lies inn mediately ahead.
 So state the weeks reports from many sections to the employment scr vice of tho department of labor. The unemployment of a month ago has vanished completely, Director Jones of the service asserts. and instead of having to seek jobs for applicants the service at present is trying to supply the demands of employers.
 A survey of the industrial situation $ shows there Is virtually no unemploy- ment in the United States and that the number of men out on strike has dwindled to the lowest figure since the war. Reports to the department of labor disclose that except for the textile and transportation workers there Is not single strike in the United States today involving as many as 1000 mon. Such a record has not been approached for years.
 Transportation difficulties with re- ypect to labor are clearing. Within 3 fortnight these strikes either will have been adjusted or will be in Q fair way for immediate settlement.
 Surplus of Clerks
 The only class of labor that is un- employed to any extent today" Mir Jones said, Ifs the clearical worker There is a surplus of clerks. There is corresponding shortage of other classes of labor. If the clerical work CTS would be willing to take other employment for a time. no man need be idle anywhere in the country"
 One of the surprising clements of the situation Is the nationwide short age of common labor. The wages of the common laborer have increased in many sections as result. Wages also have increased in certain skilled trades and further increases may be expected because of the inadequacy of the supply.
 In Philadelphia, for instance. there were 1S0,000 idle men last January. Today there are about 19,000 idle; of these, $500 are clerks. Thousands of common laborers could be put to work at once, in Philadelphia, according to reports to the service, but cannot be obtained. Skilled men are wanted there in all lines of brilding activity
 Pittsburg reports similar short age of common labor. A slight short age exists also of skilled labor, to supply which importations were made recently from other cities. It was with great difficulty that men were found to fill this need. Massachusetts reports a shortage of skilled labor The lumber interests on the Pacific coast can't get enough skilled or un- skilled workers to fill all the orders

THE PRICE OF KNIGHTHOOD Sir John Foster Fraser. in Arts and

 There has been quito a shindy over that constantly recurring topic in London, the "sale of honors." The King Is "the fount or honor" and theoretically 1t Is the King who bestows dignity, whether 1t be an earldom or knighthood. Yet 1t Is we'll known that the honor Is con- ferred by the monarch on the recom- mendation of the prime ministers.

The European Snake Again

European interference in American politics
again is rearing its ugly, snake-like head. Euro
pean diplomats are busy urging immigrants to
become naturalized so they can vote in our cleo
tions.
The purpose is plain. Europe is seeking to
spread its balance of power theory to our
shores. 1t wants Italian-Americans to, vote as
Italians in American elections for candidates
who, when elected, will use America to advance
the interests of Italy. The same thing is true
of European leaders of Irish-Americans, Greek
Americans, Polish-Americans, German-Ameri-
cans, and all the other nationalities.
This policy is fundamentally subversive of
the real interests of the American people, the
American nation and the aliens who live here
and want to be American citizens 1t means the
odous German-American problem of the late war
is back with us in an intensified form.
Aliens who have come to this country to es-
cape the rotten political and economic conditions
of their former countries are welcome, providing
they conform to American ideals and become, in
heart American citizens.
Aliens who have come here with no such in
tentions who want to use America as pawn
in the European game are not welcome. Their
actions break up the solidarity of the American
nation and turn us into warning camps of differ
ent European nationalities.
After centuries of unrestricted immigration
America has finally passed a law limiting the in
flux of aliens. It is certainly time to extend that
law and to stop all immigration. America needs
fifty years of no immigration, as breathing
spell during which to catch up with the job of
making Americans out of our pro-thises and pro-
that's.
Those who are not amenable to the American
zation process should be sent back whence they
came and where their true hearts interests still
| lie.
This is America and it is only for those who
are Americans in heart.

Prosperity and Depression

Business affairs during the past few months
have clearly indicated the country is recovering
from the industrial depression that has stag
mated activities during the past two years. Bust
ness prophets already are proclaiming that we
on the way up to another period of prosper
ty.
Prosperity has sweet sound to the average
man and woman. 1t means plenty of work, big
earnings and good time. The unpleasant men,
cries of the last depression are wiped out and
many live as though good times would last for
ever and would get better each year.
Economists paint another picture for us.
They say prosperity breeds depression. In pros
porous times get the big head. Businesses
expand too much and people become too extrava-
CANT. Prices, wages and costs go up. Since too
much of the expansion and personal extravaganza
is done on borrowed capital, the supply of such
credit finally is insufficient and the top-heavy
structure crashes down.
The basic remedy is up to each Individual.
The Individual business man must guard against
expanding or loading up with goods at the top
of the market. 1t is safer and more profitable
to save surplus earnings during good times and
use them during the following depression to
finance expansion of plant facilities. The rank
and file through their extra savings in prosper
Gus times, can create their own unemployment
insurance for the next period of bad times.
If everyone did this we would have no alter
nations of prosperity and depression. Industry
would run along from year to year on an even
normal plane.
Prosperity is the swing of the human pen
dulum to one side. Depression is the natural
swing to the other side. Until people cease being

Ripping Rhymes
GUNS
BY Walt Mason

Oh, the shootings every dayl Some
ones always being shot, and the dead
are borne away to the shady church
yard lot. Some are shot for fifteen
cents, some are stricken down for fun;
the most frivolous of gents may with
ease acquire a gun. There are laws
forbidding this, there are laws forbid
ding that; but no law forbids the bliss
of the tough who'd pack a gat. He
may have murder face, he may have
a record bad, but he seeks the busy
place where revolvers may be had;
and if he can show the mon, foolish
questions are not piled; he may bear
away his gun, ripe for carefree homi-
eide Shooting, shootings all the time,
voters killed, with no excuse; and the
carnival of crime still is ramping, rag
ing loose. If you'd buy dish of
beer, a prescription you must gain,
from some learned physician near,
who has found you have a pain. II
you'd buy poison dire to deplete the
rodent swarms, then the druggist will
require that you sign some drastic
forms. But if you desire gat with
manslaughter in your mind, there1l
be no ordeal like that, no distractions
will you find.

The history of the World war might
have read much differently but for
years of diplomatic labor on Barrere's
part before the conflict came. Through
Bismarck's clever intrigue and the
weakness of Premier Crispi of Italy
the Iron Chancellor had made Italy al
most pawn in Germany's hands. Bar
rere labored with patience to break
this hold, partly by building up trade
between France and Italy. By the
time the clash came in 1914 the Rome
government was convinced that its
course lay in severing relations, mill
tary, diplomatic and economic, with
Germany and Austria and joining the
French and English.

After Dinner Trick S

The performer borrows a few dollar
bills. Placing them one upon the other,
he counts them very carefully and i'm
mediately gives them to some one to
hold. Reaching beneath the table, the
performer draws out one of the Dor
rowed bills and the spectator finds, that
there is one missing from those he Is
holding.
When he borrows the bills before the
trick has actually commenced, the per-
former lowers his hand an instant and
allows one bill secretly to fall in his
lap. In arranging the pile of bills, he
folds one double, as shown in the IL
lustration Gig. p. BY holding the
pile at the center with his left hand
and counting the ends with his right,
he is enabled to show one bill more than
is actually there. When the performer
hands the bills to the spectator, he Sc
cretly straightens cut the folded bill
while forming the pile of greenbacks
into a roll When he reaches beneath
the table he merely brings out the bill
which is lying in his lap.
