A. E. F. MONUMENTS

Monuments to the heroism of the Am
erican Expeditionary Force have been un-
yelled on the principal battlefields where
United States troops fought during the
World War.
These monuments have been erected
under the supervision of the American Bat
tie Monuments Commission, of which Cen
eral John j. Pershing is chairman, created
by an act of Congress approved March A,
1923.
Among the battlefields and ceme-
teries selected for the erection of monu-
ments and other memorial structures are
Chateau-Thierry Chill 204), st. Mihiel,
Belleau Wood, Montfaucon, Suresness,
Blanc Mont, and Cantigny. There also has
been erected Naval memorial at Brest,
concentrating the well-performed task of
the United States Navy in conveying the
American troops to France.
In addition to its work in selecting
sites, approving designs and erecting these
memorials, the commission has gathered
much historical material pertaining to the
war, including photographs of the battle
fields upon which American troops were
engaged.
Since his retirement from active mill
tary duty in 1924, General Pershing has
devoted the greater partsof his time to the
work of the Monuments Commission,
which, needless to say, has been done with
the utmost care and thoroughness. 1t is
gratifying that the distinguished COM
mander of the A. E. F. has been spared to
complete this important patriotic service.

Sit Down on Public Patience

sort to such inexcusable tactics, and
yet the fact is that their monthly and
annual wages were not only the high
est In the history of the company, but
among the highest in all industry.
Why then the sit-down strike? Be-
cause the union officers demanded. in
their own words, closed shop condi-
TONS"
In the case of the General Motors
strike the workers. while illegally oc-
cupying the plant, demanded that
the company supply them with heat
light, and hot water. And in Connec-
ticut, after sit-down strikers had been
elected from plant that they were
Illegally occupying. the strikers pro-
tested to the Governor that the police
were letting nonstrikers pass through
the picket lines. The strikers threat
ened bloodshed unless the police were
removed, thus enabling the strikers
to intimidate the nonstrikers.
II the labor unions are wise they
will abandon this new device, with
its accompanying absurditieS, before
it reacts to their injury. In New York
City, for example. few workers in
power plant. resenting the discharge
of two men, took possession of the
plant, and for a brief period there
was the threat of the discontinuance
OF subway service. This is a state Of
affairs that the people of New York
City will not tolerate, and by the same
token the people of the nation will
not submit to the paralysis of the
business and commerce of the coun-
try as the result of illegal sit-down
strikes.
If the sit-down strikes continue.
eventually laws will be passed SUBJ
jecting labor to a much greater de-
gree of responsibility. Itis possible,
indeed. that strikes will be forbidden,
as in several foreign countries. Labor
leaders would do well, therefore, to
avoid illegal and extreme' measures.
The American people are patient and
long-suffering. but their patience can
be exhausted.

NO LONGER A LABOR" QUESTION

The labor situation has reached a
point where it affects every citizen.
The unlawful occupation of property
by workers to enforce their demands, and
the breakdown of our law enforcement
agencies in protecting the property owner,
is a new Experience in the United States.
1t is but one step, removed from revolu-
ton.
y. If one class of citizens can dispossess
another class Of the use of their property,
it is only step further to take over such
property permanently. We have witness
ed that in Russia and Spain.
If workmen stop and think, they will
see that they are destroying their own
safety and liberty when they foment
revolutionary practices.
Thoughtful persons who have the
best interests of workers at heart, can
only warn them against such tactics which
in the long run will lose unless government
stability is destroyed-then what?

and refuses to obey the order of the
owner or of the court to vacate it, be-
comes not only a striker. but a tres
passer. 1t makes not the slightest diff
ference whether the demands of the
workers are reasonable or unreason-
able; the workers have no right. at
law or in ethics. to take hostile pos
session of the plant for the purpose of
enforcing their demands.
Not only is the sit-down strike IL
legal. but 1t is frequently aceoinpa-
MED by high-handed action. While
negotiations between the Chrysier
Corporation and the United Automo-
bile Workers were in progress the
president of the Corporation was
denied admittance to the general ex-
ecutive offices. Subsequently the
Union adopted the policy of exclud-
ing all the officers and Office workers
from the company buildings. The
company was thus forced to carry on
its business. without its files and rec
ords, in offices temporarily set up in
a hotel.

HARVARD IN SUIT
OVER FOUR WILLS

BOSTON, Aug. 4 (IN.S)-Pro-
life will-maker Francis w.
Adams, who wrote four testaments
in eight months, today brought
Harvard College into its first
court controversy over a legacy.
Disposing of a 100000 estate,
Adams, retired lawyer who died
July II, wrote his first will last
November bequeathing the bulk
of his estate to the president and
fellows of Harvard College for
scholarships.
Then in March, Adams wrote
another will, leaving 100000 to
Henry Gordon Thistle and Everett
Masseur, and $4,000 to Mary A.
DWyer, his nurse and housekeeper
for 80 years. In April, Adams
wrote a third will virtually duph-
eating the first and again making
Harvard College chief beneficiary.
On June %, Adams wrote his
fourth will naming Attorney Jesse
Crook as beneficiary of the bulk
of the estate.
The two wills involving Harvard
College bore codicils, one hand
written in ink, and the other type
written, leaving $1,000 to Attorney
Crook in payment of all demands.
Counsel for Harvard College.
Andrew Marshall, asked the court
to determine which will was valid.

Weizmann Sees Some
Benefits
BY GERsHON AGRONSKY

ZURICH, Aug. 4 ON.SJ.
Vigorous criticism Of Britain's
military administration in Pales-
tine was voiced today by Dr.
Chain weizmann, president Of the
World Zionist Congress, in his
political address" to the twen'
tieth biennial conference of the
organization at Zurich town hall
He intimated, however, that &C
ceptance Of the British plan for
partition of Palestine would be the
main plank in his program before
the Congress.
Sees Benefits
While asserting that Jews
throughout the world reject the
thesis Of the British royal commits
sion and government that the
Palestine mandate is "unwork'
able" DR.. Weizmann said estab-
lishment Of a purely Jewish state
as recommended would afford OPP
portunities for development under
an autonomous government.
The main regions Of Jewish set.
Elements would be likely to benefit,
he said, despite the fact the area
set aside for Jews would be re-
duced in scope. He said:
This congress must choose be-
tween . Jewish state in . small
part Of the inundated area or
remaining the minority in a
large area"
RAPS ADMINISTRATION
D.. Weizmann's criticism of Brit
ain was directed against the ad-
ministration in Palestine, which
he charged lacked force and firm
ness. T. said:
'Let me cite the RELOCATION Of
the British army to the role Of
a spectator during the Arab re-
beIliOn."
The British nation, however, he
said, should not be held responsible
for q state of affairs resulting
largely from the action or inaction
of the Palestine administration. :"

HOSPITAL ASKS
FUND OF $S88,321
Budget Figure for Two Years
Presented at Hearing of
Legislative Committee
HOSPITAL is CROWDED

Trustees of the Delaware State
Hospital, Farnhurst, are asking the
state for $432,99 for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1881, and
$455, ,324 for the following fiscal
year or $888,321 for maintenance
for the two years. These figures
were presented to the legislative
budget committee by representa-
tives of the institution at the ses-
sion of the committee Monday
morning. Those representing the
hospital were Fred H. Gawthrop,
chairman; Hervey P. Hall, Harry
V. Lyons, DR.. Rowland G. Paynter,
and Willard Springer, Jr., trustees,
and DR.. M. A. Tarumianz, Superin-
tendent. In the budget former
Gov. c. Douglass Buck recommend
ed S385,O75 a year or $770,250 for
the two years be granted the hos
pital. In addition to the amount
asked from the state, it is estimat-
ed that $4,000 will be received
from paid patients during the next
two fiscal years which would make
the total amount that the trustees
think will be needed to operate the
institution for two years slightly in
excess of S1,OO0,0OO. At present
officers and employees work two
shifts of 10 to II hours each. II
an hour system is installed il
would require $4,000 additional
for salaries of 7s more employees
for the two years. The hospital, il
was reported,( is overcrowded. Or
February L the number of patients
totalled 1108. In addition to the
amount needed for maintenance the
trustes will ask, in two separate
bills, for S868,500 for the erection
and equipping of new buildings
during the biennium.
