Taken by Co-operation ' of British and French Governments. NO GENERAL MINIMUM WAGE . i I ' : Each Case to Be Decided on Its Merita Is Announcement of the . War Board. A minimum wage to be applied throughout Industry will not be estab llsned at this time by the war labor board. In making this announcement the board said wage controversies would be considered individually as heretofore. Hearings on the question of a minimum wage had been held and the board was expected to establish a minimum In the near future. The board's decision was set forth in a unanimous resolution declaring it would be unwise to "make orders In this Interregnum based on approved views of progress in normal times, which under war conditions might se riously Impair the present economic etructure of our country." Declaring the period of the war not to be a normal period of Industrial ex pansion, the resolution says the "em ployer does not expect unusual profits or the employee abnormal wages. Cap ital should only have such reasonable return as will assure Its use for the world's and nation's cause, while the physical well being of labor and Its physical and mental effectiveness in a comfort reasonable In view of the ex igencies of the war should likewise be assured." Employers and workers were urged to compose their differ ences in accord with the principles laid cty ,wn in President Wilson's labor To Recruit Labor for Mines. James Lord, the one-time nresldont i of the mining division of ths American Federation of Labor, has been appoint ed head of a special section of the fed' eral employment service in charge of recruiting and supplying labor for mines, according to announcement by the department of labor. He will co operate with the fuel administration, the National Coal association and the United Mine Workers of America. ' Shoo Men Increase Wages. The Brockton, Mass., Manufacturers' association granted shoe workers, oth er than cutters, a 20 per cent wage increase, to be paid as a war bonus. The advance affects nearly 20,000 op eratives in the vicinity. , ' There was little change in the cut ters' strike situation. Their continued absence forced 2,000 more operatives out of work and it was estimated that nearly 7,000 were idle. Co-ordinating the Nations. Those of us who are bewailing the passing of the choral society and chor al singing in general may be heartened by remembering that music is pre eminently a social art ; there is nothing that so ministers to the sense of soli darity, of brotherhood, as singing in a ohorus under a good leader, who ac complishes things, or playing in an or chestra with a director able to bring about a fine ensemble. , Constructive Criticism. There are always many who pro claim that a certain thing ought to be done, to one who goes ahead and does it Albany Journal.

Contracts for 70,000 freight cars, ag gregating approximately $300,000,000, have been awarded by the railroad administration, bringing the total num ber of cars contracted for delivery this year to 100,000. - .

Can't j you stay longer? We boys are having, a peach of a time," said Blllle. ' "Well, if you get more out of It in the way of pleasure than I," said Un-, cie Dan, "you are going some." "Blllle, I have been talking seriously'. with your father and mother Bbout, sending you to a military academy and they asked me to talk with you about it" '.' - I "Whoopee I" Blllle screamed, like a wild Indian. ' "Now, hold your horses," said Uncle Dan, "and listen to me. You know I sent my boy, Howard, to one of these schools for a year when he was about your age. He was narrow chested, stoop shouldered, rather loose Jointed; he had the big head and needed dis cipline and physical development. He was growing fast and I wanted him to be strong physically." "Say, Uncle Dan," said Blllle, "I be lieve your description of Howard fits me pretty well, eh?" "Well," said Uncle Dan, "to be frank I think it does; you need the same thing. Howard did not like it at first. I am told for a few weeks he had 'rough sledding,' but after he found that the only way was to obey orders, he caught the spirit of the institution and liked it We did not see him for about six months, then he came home for a few days. We were astonished at his ap pearance. He had gained about 20 pounds In weight, his muscles were as hard as nails, he stood as straight as an arrow, he was courteous, conslder- Note the result of six monthB of mill tary training.

Here is a photograph showing 'before and after taking,' and I am sure no patent medicine advertisement could beat it. "Well, mother and I were delighted. That was ten years ago, and Howard says the year he spent at the military academy was the best year of his life. "Now,.' said Uncle Dan, with great earnestness, "when such training does so much good, makes better citizens and at the same time fits a man to defend his country, why should not Uncle Sam furnish, this training at the govern ment's expense? The government has the rieht to call anyone to serve in case of war, and without training, man is worth nothing as a soldier. Un cle Sam has splendid new training camps that will soon be available for the purpose, therefore, here is double reason why the Chamberlain bill for compulsory military training should be passed at once, so that every boy phy- jslcally fit may have this training and not leave it for his parents to pay for. On account of the expense, not one boy in 50 can take the training now. I am I glad that you can do so. These big 'crops and big prices, I find, make the ifarmers rather 'cocky,' and that the best is demanded by them." Blllle was up with the lark the next morning, more excited and enthusiastic than ever. He had a plan. He knew Jimmie owned a colt worth $100 ; that he would make almost another $100 on his potatoes if they turned out well, and that he had from his previous savings, bought a $100 Liberty bond. Blllle's plan was to have Jimmie cash in and go with him. He was disap pointed to find that Jimmie would still lack about $300 of having enough to see him through. His lip quivering, he said: "I'm mighty sorry to leave Jim. mle." Uncle Dan was silent a moment or two, then he asked Blllle to go down to the orchard and get him some ap Iples to eat on the train. While he was gone, it was arranged that Uncle Dan and Mr. and Mrs. Graham would ad vance the money necessary so that Jimmie could go. When Blllle returned he was told about it. He ran to the phone and called Jimmie, saying : "Come on over, run just as fast as you can, I've got the greatest news yon ever heard of." - -- ' Send Ueioaf Job Priming.

WAR TALKS j By UNCLE DAN Number Fiva Jimmie and a German Bov Clash-i Must Do Three Things to Save Country. It was a warm evening, so Uncle Dan went out to a lawn seat under the spreading branches of the great tree that suggested the farm's name of Oak Hill. Blllle and Jimmie had been lay ing for him, so Uncle Dan was cap tured by the boys on short order. "Say, Uncle Dan," Blllle began. "We had a red-hot argument at school yes terday with Carl Newman. Carl said that German schools were miles ahead of our schools and that no one could come up to the educated German. Well, Jimmie got hot under the collar and handed it back to him good and plenty. Jimmie said If their education taught them to torpedo Lusltanias, sink hos pital ships, murder hundreds of wom en and children, make slaves of the Belgians, poison wells, destroy fruit trees and commit all sorts of crimes, then we did not want that kind of education here. What do you think about It. Uncle, Dan? I told Jimmie you spent a lot of time in Europe and knew all about schools, so give us your opinion." "Well," replied Uncle Dan, deliber ately, "the German schools are very thorough ; they furnish exceedingly val uable and practical instruction. The industrial training given there is prob ably the best to be found. The schools as a whole, however, in my opinion, appeal to the head only, and never to the heart. The aim and trend is to make the individual blindly submis sive to the Prussian plan of world do minion; they teach that it is the des tiny of Germany to rule the world, and that to the glory and advance of Ger many, In this plan, all things must give way; that the kaiser as head of the state, can do no wrong if he carries forward the plan of world Control. Some of the greatest teachers and preachers even defend and Justify her heartless crushing of Belgians and the many other atrocious crimes she has committed In this war. Thank God, our American education reaches both the head and the heart. It is an edu cation with a soul, and we must main tain the high ideals we have fixed. In a word, In Germany, the people are taught that they exist for the govern ment, while here the government ex ists to serve the people." "Just wait a minute," interrupted Billli. Say that over again slowly, so I can. write It down." Uncle Dan, smilingly, compiled. pMe exclaimed : "Now, we will hand Carl, you i know," continued Blllle, "has avery smart father who keeps him posted on the German arguments. Carl said our government was only an experiment anyway; that It would not last twenty years, and that it might burst up any old time. Jimmie asked him if Germany was so mighty good, why they did not go back there to live." . "Our government will go on forever, won't it Uncle Dan?" "Now," said Uncle Dan, "you are raising a big question, and one that has troubled me for years. Our gov ernment is still in the experimental stage ; 1 fact, it is the greatest ex periment ever undertaken, and if pop ular government Is to be successful, a few things must be done, otherwise, to paraphrase the great Lincoln, the gov ernment of the people, by the people and for the people, will perish. It is my firm conviction," said Uncle Dan, In a very impressive manner, "that if our country is to go on, as we hope and pray, we must very quickly do at least three things, and I will name them in the order of Importance as it appears to me: "First, adopt compulsory universal military training of all young men physically fit before they reach the age of twenty years. "Next require that every foreigner who comes here to live must, within a reasonable time, say a year, declare his Intention of becoming an American citizen and take the necessary steps to do so, thereby, from that moment as suming all the obligations of citizen ship of our country, and that means he must defend our flag upon equal terms with our native born, and if he Is not willing to do Uus, he should be sent back from whence he came." "That's the stuff," exclaimed Billie. "And, finally, enact such legislation as will make voting compulsory. Pop ular government Is based upon the participation of all and the rule of the majority, and democracy cannot continue and be successful unless we live up to the spirit of the institu tion. "The first step, however, is the pass ing of the Chamberlain bill for univer sal military training. If you will get the leading citizen, and especially the editor of your paper, to write personal letters to your congressman and both senators, urging their support, it will help enormously. "J see by the morning papers," said Uncle Dan, "that the Kotary clubs of the entire country, the llvest most effi cient organization to be found, have unanimously decided to get back of the Chamberlain bill and give It loyal and enthusiastic support They will work with the Universal Military Training league to accomplish this im portant piece of legislation, which will do more than anything else to make us a real nation with a common view point bring us back to sane living, and teach ns the patriotism of service." . fiaad Us Tour Job Printing.
