PLAN TO PUT ALL
ON EQUAL BASIS

A plan formulated by A. Flick of
Boone, Iowa, to place the burden of
war equally upon all shoulders is
unique in some particulars. The plan,
as suggested by Mr.. Flick, follows:
"Now that Defense day is over and
an inventory has been taken of the
man power available in case of war.
1t behoOves us to find out what wealth
is available and also what steps can
be taken to make war less rrobable
in the future. l would suggest the
following" declared Mr.. Flick: "That
in case of war, the government take
over all industries and make every one
work for the same pay as the soldier,
which at the present time is one dol.
lar per day and keep. In case of fam.
lilies, every one capable of working
should work, and the government
should take care of the children and
the sick. l believe food should be
dished out to private families the same
as to the soldier, the government tax
ing over everything, the grocery stores
included, the clerks working for one
dollar per day. The sick should be
taken care Of in government hospitals,
the children should go to school to
teachers paid one dollar per day, doc
tors should get but one dollar per day,
the women should be cooks and nurses
at one dollar per day. All able men
should go to the front, except those
needed to transact other business"
Mr. Flick further pointed out: IF
the government took over all indus
tries, and put everyone on an equal
basis, during the war; there would be
no soaring prices, there would be no
millionaires made through the distress
of others. There would be no one
left at home to draw immense wages
while the boys are sacrificing their
lives at the front Can anyone be a
true patriot when he is willing that
the other fellow risk his life for one
dollar and keep, if he or she does not
even want to work in safety for the
same pay as the soldier? Such pa
triot can salute the flag, cheer the
armies as they go by to the front,
as long as he is making a good living
but put him on the same payroll as
the soldier and he will tell you you
are talking against your country.
Besides the above think those who
do the fighting should have the say
whether or not there should be war,
except in case of invasion, when every
true American will jump to the de-
Tense Of his country without waiting
for the call to arms. In conclusion |
want to reiterate that / believe there
is no better organization than the
American Legion to take up this ques-
ton of equal burden in time of war"
The American Legion for some time
past has been sponsoring a plan
known as the Universal Draft" which
calls for the drafting of all industry
as well as man power in time of war.

Nicholas StankoUitch,
Youngest Legionnoire

The highest decorated man in the
Servian army recently added a new
distinction to his list when he placed
his name, Nicholas Stankovitch. on
the rolls of the Springfield (Ohio)
American Legion post, making him the
youngest Legionnaire in the world, as
he is not yet twenty-one years old.
Stankovitch left Chicago in 1914 with
his father at the outbreak of the
World war, and both enlisted in the
Servian army, he being only twelve
years old at that time. He was
wounded by the same shell that NOR
tally wounded his father. He was one
of the 795 survivors of 10000 Servians
who resisted the Austrian drive. The
young lieutenant can speak and read
in FIVE languages. He has been
searching among Servian people for
his mother from whom he has been
separated by the events of the war.

Twenty Thousand Raised
to Build NeU Club House

Two hours to raise the $4,000
necessary to build their club house is
the record of frenzied finance estab-
lished by the Theodore Roosevelt post
of the American Legion at Enumclaw,
Wash, and this despite the fact that
Enumclaw is no metropolis. Pressed
for details of the accomplishment,
William Burns, post commander, non
chalantly remarked: "Well, it was
simple: To begin with, we have a
good live membership, one of the
livest Auxiliary units found anywhere,
and very live bunch of citizens be-
hind us. We issued $4,000 worth of
bonds 6 per cent, ten years. which
were all grabbed up in less than two
hours by Legion members and local
citizens. That's all there was to it."

Once Famous VioIinist
Playing In Streets

Pittsburgh.-Back in 1908 Peter van
der Nicer played a violin recital in Car
ncgie Music hall, New York, and critics
acclaimed the artistry in his perform
.ance of Paganini's Concerto in D Ma
jor. He had studie6 under Ysaye at
Antwerp and Brussels, and had been
member of the Boston Symphony or
chestra.
Recently group of men idling
about the entrance to the Fort Pitt
hotel saw a blind street musician pre-
pairing to play To them he was Just
a gypsying fiddler.
But apathy vanished and a crowd
gathered as the strains of Schumann's
"Traumerei came sweetly from the
instrument in the hands of the sight
less player. Evening Star" from
"Tannhauser,' souvenir" by DrdIa, a
Drego Serenade, the prison scene from
al Trovatore." and the intermezzo
from "Cavaleria Rusticana" followed
for a twO-hour program.
Bill folds were opened and the bat.
tered hat held more than $50 when
the collection was over.
The blind player was Peter van der
Nicer, sightless since 1915 when cat
aracts followed measles in a prolonged
illness. For six years he was in Belle
vue hospital, New York, where physi-
clans told him he would never see
again.
He has played his way to Pittsburgh
He will continue in a few days his
journey southwark with his violin. and
what Ysaye and his own passion for
the instrument have given him will
pay the way.
