But the plague of repetition is not Pc

manifest in the persistence with which

The difficulty must trace back to the
mistaken notion that the public is
moronic and that the appeal most apt
to pay is that which is aimed at millions

contradict such a delusion 1t should be
necessary only to direct attention to the

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
November.

November.
The dawn held frost
And sunset was lost
In a gray haze over the river;
The smoke from the chimneys blows
southwark tonight,
AS if following vainly the songster's gay
flight,
And the dark has come with a shiver.
The mind has an edge;
To my window ledge
Fly snowbirds for stray crumbs seek
ing;
Dead, coppery leaves, with q rustling
sound,
Are blowing along the hardening
ground -.
"Tis the pre-voice of Winter speaking.

Conscription in Britain.

Among inceSSant signs OF European
unrest and alarm. none is more sug-
gestive than the hint Just dropped In
a House of Lords debate that military
conScription in Great Britain may be
lust around the corner. Speaking d.
rectly for the government, the Earl OF
Stsnhope, first commissioner of works,
discussed in terms Of candid discourage
mens the arnys failure to secure the
recruits necessary to maintain the estab-
lshment on an essential basis.
The ministerial representative did not
mince words in decrying the shortcom-
ings of the voluntary enlistment system.
The territorial army needs $1,000 new
men. but has little hope Of getting them
Conditions are even worse in the regu-
lar army. which requires $4,000 recruits.
The war office expects to obtain only
q 1000. For the infantry reserve, Or
ganized two months ago, only $50 re-
cruits have offered themselves, although
1900 are wanted. Lord Stanhope says
that the nation may as well realize that
the voluntary system is 'in grave dan
ger" He describes it as a luxury for
any country, because to persuade the
right kind of young men to serve in the
army means making the military serv-
ice much more attractive either through
pecuniary inducements or by converting
it into stepping stone to good jobs in
civil life after enlistment terms expire.
The British would resort to conscrip-
ton on the continental model with
genuine reluctance. Even the World
War was nearly two years old before
they felt compelled, because Of hideous
man-power losses on the western front,
to abandon the voluntary idea. In the
presence of crisis, Britons rose to the
emergency. Resentment of compulsory
service was conspicuous by its absence.
except in isolated instances. 1t would be
considerably more difficult today, with
war only in the ofang, to make the
United Kingdom conscription- minded.
But obviously, in view of gathering
clouds, the government feels constrained
to put the facts squarely before the
country and to stimulate discussion of
an issue that suddenly may become
acutely practical.
So far, the British rearmament scheme,
providing for vast expansion of land,
sea and air power, has proceeded on
the theory that volunteers would come
forward to meet all requirements. That
is not proving to be the case. Despite
Europes anxious days, any attempt to
impose conscription is sure to bring
not only Laborites and Liberals, but also
many Conservatives into violent op-
position. Alongside political antagonisms,
there is the growing antipathy of youth,
not only in Britain but elsewhere. to the
idea of war, either by way of prepara-
ton for or by prosecution of it. Under
relationships conscripts are to be had
by simple decree. But any democratic
government which seeks to impose con-
scription, in mere anticipation of war,
courts certain disfavor and possible
downfall. Even in France, with its
ancient tradition Of military service. it
is no longer popular, as evidenced by
discomfort over lengthening Of the term
to two years.

BY critics blamed or fairly praised,
Stands in the sunlight and the storm
A stalwart solitary form;
Unheeding, as the throng draws near,
To sound q sentiment or sneer,

To minds sincere that pass that way.
Thus in his life that man appeared
To whom the monument was reared.

So 4O-Hour Pay Checks in 1886

''It must see that the workers get
not so much per piece or SO much per
hour merely to meet competitive con-
ditions, but an annual income suffi-
cient to enable them to live as we
want all American citizens to live"

and was liberalized to recognize that
since the workman's skill puts value
into raw materials, he should receive
a fixed percentage Of the products

Under the plan, Num- explained the
pay roll for the year was estimated on
the company's anticipated gross earn
ings and the employers were guarar-
teed this amount. Should the earn
ings exceed the estimate, employees
will be given a wage adjustment in a
lump sum at the end Of the year. This
clause is mandatory under the con-

Herbert also said he found signs
Of oil.
W. c.. Crocker, pioneer proSpector,
said he had worked along the Koyu-

rich deposits.
That's the richest mineral section
left in the territory" Crocker said.
He recalled that men using hand
rockers took from S4 to SIT a day in

area when gold was $l6 an ounce" "
Jack McCord, a veteran of the gold
fields, said he considered the Endi-

 He stressed the law of self-preser- vation--"the age-old law that if a person believes himself about to suf- fer death or bodily harm he has the right to resist, even to the point of inflicting death on his assail- ant"

 When 8 woman says mo, not to- night or any other night or never again and the man forces her, he is as guilty of the crime of rape as though he attacked 12-year-old girl," Leibowitz said passionately.
