WASHINGTON amend

Philip B. Fleming, administrator of
the wage and hour division, an

be paid for overtime.
The amended regulations, which

The new classifcations went into
effect on October "a, the same day
on which the standard work week
became 40 hours, and applied to

JEFF DAVIS VS.. LINCOLN

Of all his predecessors, Secretary
of War Henry L. Stimson has chosen
the portraits of jefferson Davis,
president of the ConfederaCy, and
Robert Todd Lincoln. son of the
martyrcd President. to adorn the
wall facing his desk. Both Lincoln
and Davis served as secretary of
war.
Mr.. Stimson sits at great, fiat
carved red mahogany desk. which
has been in the war department
more years than anyone can remem-
Der, and which is ornamented by
two round globe lights on either side,
designed to burn kerosene III the
days before gas and electricity.
These have now been revamped for
incandescent bulbs.
A grim note is StimSon's side
table, somber black piece used by
Gen. Phil Sheridan as a court mar
tial desk. This supports a huge
silver cup, tennis trophy won in
previous years by Mr.. Stimson, and
mantel clock, which is wound by
key, and strikes the hours and hall
hours in deep sonorous tones.

ROOSEVELT BORROWs

The other day Postmaster General
Frank Walker called at the White
House with William Knudsen and
other defense commissioners to sell
the President the first 100 new ma
tional Defense" stamps, which come
in one, two and three-cent denomi-
nations.
This is strictly cash on the
line proposition, Mr.. President"
said Walker. Have you got six
dollars?"
Roosevelt reached for his billfold.
1t contained one five-dollar bill, no
more. "Hmmm-short a dollar"
he unused.
Borrowing, as Shakespeare said,
may dull the edge of husbandry,
but on the other hand not everyone
gets the chance to lend the Presi-
dent of the United States a buck.
Everyone in the room grabbed for
his wallet simultaneously. But
Walker was the first to produce the
dollar.
Grinning, Roosevelt promised to
repay Walker on ''my next pay

ELLIOTT RESIGNATION

AS this column said, in criticizing
|hott Roosevelt's appointment, it is
conceivable to me that Elliott gave
thought tc its destructive implica-
ms. Elliott resigned in order to
glster for the draft, giving as
5 reason the injurious effect of his
appointment on the selective service
fogram. In my opinion, that was
courageous and proper thing to do.
IS harder to acknowledge an at
mpt to retrieve an error than it
to bull it through.
But it is much manlier and, in this
ise, more patriotic. believe that
e resignation was in good faith and
at 1t relieves Elliott from any criti-
SIN except his original misin-
lrmed judgment.
Not so much can be said of Gen
fal Echols' refusal to accept" the
fslgnation.
AS matter of law, Echols has no
lore to do with that than l have.
resignation goes to the appointing
lthority, who alone can accept or
FJect it. That authority is the Pres
lent, here represented by the war
epartment, not Echols.
The success of the draft depends
bsolutely on popular confidence in
Is administration. In this respect
differs from any other department
! the war effort.
Experience has proved over and
Yer again that you can't get away
nth CONSUMPTION in an Anglo-Saxon
Puntry without an almost religious
Ppular and patriotic faith and zeal.
| believe more blame is due to
ocular air corps officers in not
Foperly advising Elliott in the first
hstance than to Elliott himself. That
lame still continues in General
.chols' rejection of the resignation
on my own responsibility He has
o responsibility. This rejection is
ure bunk. twill fool nobody.
If these regular officers had a pur-
ose either to serve or please the |
resident in the original appoint
lent or in this false move. they are
DING the reverse of both.

GERMAN MORALE SUFFERING

Washington, D. C.
GERMAN MORALE SUFFERING
U. S. observers acquainted with
the morale of the German people
are getting bullish about Britain, in
view of the heavy Raj bombings
of Germany.
These officials point out that Ger
man conquests on land, even if they
should be extended beyond the Bal
kans into Egypt or even to India,
do not relieve the problem of the
10000, 600 Germans who must con-
tinue to take punishment from Brit
ish bombing.
1t has been proved already that
the military genius of the Germans
IS in land movements. They have
no strength at sea, and they have
failed to gain complete mastery in
the air, though at times they have
come close to it. This leaves the
British with an air force growing
daily stronger by arrival of Cana
dian and American planes, to bomb
the great German cities in an at
tempt to break civilian morale.
German conquests abroad do not
relieve the distress of people in such
heavily populated centers as Berlin,
Dresden, Leipzig, Hamburg, and
Munich. So long as these people
must spend cold winter nights in
the cellars, with no rest, there can
be no real victory for Germany.

NEW ARMY TANKS

building tank which will be the
equal of any which the Nazis sent
against France with their famous
panzer divisions.
These new war monsters each will
carry one 75-mm. gun. This is the
famous field artillery piece which
the French army used during the
World war, and which the Ameri-
can EXpeditionary force later adopt
ed. 1t has now become the standard
field artillery for more than half the
armies of the world.
However. not until the German
divisions rolled into Flanders. did
modern armies conceive of mount
ing guns as heavy as this in tanks.
But from now on, even the medium
tanks built for the U. S. army will
carry one French rs, plus a 37-mm.
gun, plus four machine guns. This
tank will weigh between IS and 30
tons.
Note-1t is impossible to estimate
the cost of the mobile fortress carry
ing a 75-mm. gun, and the war de-
partment is not even troubling to
ask for estimates. At least three of
the companies will proceed with pro-
ductlon on cost plus fixed fee"
basis, and when the tanks begin to
come off the assembly lines (Which
will not be before next May) Uncle
Sam will pay the bill

MONTH of senate interstate COM
merce subcommittee. The commit

A convention saddened by the
absence of European delegates, and
one whose sessions were devoted
largely to aiding those of its mem
bers in war torn Europe by pro-
viding a haven for their children.
was reported to the Ell Centre Sor-
optimist club by Marie r. Jenkins
who represented the group at the
International convention held this
summer in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The report was made at the weekly
meeting Monday in the Barbara
Worth hotel.
Soroptimist clubs in Germany,
Austria, Italy and Holland have
been suppressed by orders of the
dictators governing those countries
and consequently there remain of
the European clubs the IS organized
in the British Isles, there being 131
in the United States. OF the nations
in which Soroptimist clubs have
been organized, seven are at war.
The convention sent cablegram
to Mrs. HaWeS of LONDON, autnor-
izing her to se<ld the children of
European Soroptimists to this coun-
try. promising to care for them
during the duration of the war,
either in some haven to be estab-
lished or in the homes of members.
The new president, elected at the
convention, Jean Bennett, already
has taken three refugee children
into her home. The sum of $500 was
appropriated for the aid of refugee
children of Soroptimists: $3.50 was
donated for the American Red
Cross, and a like sum to the Cana
dian Red Cross, the convention al
so contributing $500 towards the
purchase of an ambulance for use
by the Canadian overseas forces.
This ambulance is designed as a
tribute to Anna E. Sprott, outgoing
