FRMKEARE SAFE
Working Class Still Finds
Plenty to do in Spite of
the War.
Paris, March SI.—(Correspondence
of The Associated Press)—"The war
has put very few wage earners out of
employment In Prance," says Score
tary Jouhaux of the Federation of La
bor Syndicates of the department of
the Seine, to The Associated Press.
"Of the six million workmen in
France," he added, "it is estimated
that between one and a half and two
million are in the army. The rest And
plenty to do. Building Is at a stand
still "but other industries absorb the
help thus made idle. Machinists and
metal workers generally in the unoc
cupied regions are working to the lim
it. Nearly all the little local machine
shops, as well as the large establish
ments such as motor-car works, and
engine building plants are doing
something for the army, making shells
or cartridges or repairing motor-care
and other parts of the equipment.
"For a general revival of com
merce, a full revival of industry is
necessary," says Monsieur Jouhaux,
"and that can com* only with the end
»f hostilities consequently the shop
keeper suffers far more than the
worker."
•Monsieur Jouhaux, who is one of
the conspicuous militants of the revo
lutionary wing of the socialist party
and In Close touch with socialists of all
European countries, predicts that the
issue of the war will have a greater
repercussion upon internationalism
than upon nationalism, supposing the
allies were victorious. "It is this
eventuality," he says, "that has had
a deterring Influence upon Italy. The
•halting of impeerialism, represented
by the German allied empires, is nec
essarily disturbing to crowned heads
already alarmed hy the growth of so
cialism In their kingdoms. The Czar
undertsood what It would mean and
ha« suddenly become liberal.
"As to Mace, a militant victory
will be worth only its economical tri
umph the so-called political reforms
we have fought for are really econ
omic since the necessary Justice to the
man whose effort produces the
wealth of the nation will prove an
economic advantage. We have done
with politicians and politics: their
elimination Cram our movement, and
the war, will put an end to an equlvo
cat situation.
"The syndicalists, whose anti-patri
ntlem was feared in case of war, have
I proven in the trenches what they are
I worth to the country, and their influ
ence wfll be so much the greater. The
I struggle between capital and labor will
doubtless be resumed after the other
great battle has been won, but It will
I be conducted with less passion than
before."
Boys at play are more likely to play
war than to play school.
It is not a. good way to refute false
hood by trying to overcome it with
more falsehood.

AMERICAN SLANG
USED IN ENGLAND
London, March 30 —(Correspond
ence of The Associated Press)—
American slang and Yankee isms are
rapidly being Incorporated into the
speech of the people in England, ow
ing to the vogue of American variety
actors, ragtime songs and American
books and plays. So one hears born
and bred cockneys, who have never
taken a four hour's trip from London,
says the Globe, tell a person that he
will "flx him up" with as much con
viction as a Connecticut Yankee—for
the expression is a true Yankeetam
and has never been current in the
southern states. Educated English
men and women' not only get oft
Americanisms unconsciously but seri
ously.
Newspaperdom has harrowed large
ly of its slang from the states in
story, write-up," "thrown down,"
"cub," "live paper" and the like.
American business men have popu
larised in England such phrases aB
"made good" and "back to the woods,"
and "quick lunch" restaurants have
sprung up. Even on the underground
railways the conductors eay "step live
ly" instead of the old "please 'urryi
up."
Other bits of current slang attribut
able to American influence, ragtime
and otherwise, are: "The glad cyp,"
"I don't think," "some peach," "make
a date," "freeze on to," "makes one
tired," "surest thing you know" and
kindred expressions.

Zeppelin Raiders Give Eng

Iondon, March 31.—^(Correspond

small town in the south of England,
which was ordered to take the usual
military precautions on the occasion
of one of the recent false alarms re
garding Zeppelin raiders, lived for
nearly twenty-four hours under a
martial law which prevented anyone
from even going into the streets—all
because somebody iu Iondon forgot
to notify the local authorities that
things were all right. A correspond

this occurrence,' mention of which In
the newspapers was forbidden by the

Nearly Thousand Turkish
Soldiers Taken by British

of The Associated Press)—Nearly a
thousand Turkish prisoners taken by
the British troops in the lighting along
the Suez Canal are interned at Toura,
in buildings which were formely the
Egyptian government's small arms
factory.
There are twelve Turkish officers,
who are separated from the rank and
file by barb-wire fence running around
their quarters.' They have a large
room with rugs, beds and bedding
racks for their kits -and clothing, a
mess room equal to those seen In Brit
ish officere' quarters, and bath rooms.
Papers and books In Arabic are sup
plied them regularly, and most of
them purchased new clothing out of
money advanced for this purpose.
These officers draw half, the regular,
pay for their rank from the British
paymasters, although their pay from
their own treasury is said to be eev
eral months In arrears.
The men's quarters include one
large dormitory hall and several
smaller rooms. The men are in big
squads each under a sergeant. Their
clothes furnished by the government,
include a dark-blue uniform suit df
drill, underwear, handkerchiefs, feses,
boots, slippers and socks.

German Submersible U-28
has Regular Route Between
Maas and North Hinder.
Rotterdam, March 30—(Corre
spondence, of The Associated Press)—
The German submarine "U-28," ac
cording to seamen who travel, between
this port and England, has a regular
beat which she patrols, between the
Maas Lightship and the North Hinder.
Practically every day she ie on duty
along that route watching for the rail
way and cargo steamers on their way
to Hull or Harwich or Rotterdam.
She has a number ot captures to her
credit at this point, although she has
not yet succeeded In getting any or
the fast mail or railway packet boats.
Their speed is superior and they vary
their course on eacn trip so as to
make it impossible for the submarine
to lie in wait along the way.
The following description of the
pursuit of one of the railway steam
ers is published here:
"The ship was pounding along at
twelve knots, when suddenly there
was a flash of sunlight on the surface
of the sea. maybe two miles away, and
the lookout called sharply, 'Subma
rine on the port bow!'
"There was a sharp command to
the man at the wheel and the ship
changed her course. Then a quick
call down the tube and heenglneer
sang out to his stokers, 'Beat her up,
boys, U-28 is having another go.'
"Down the stokehold tumbled the
deckhands, eager to help with shovel
and oil can. The water jumped in the
gauge, the safety valves showed signs
of torment, there was a smell of heat
ed bearings, the ship began to quiver,
while the perspiring crew made bets
with each other on tne race.
"The captain himself took the
wheel. Beside him stood the ship's
boy. watching with fascinated eyee the
white wake which marked the course
of the submarine sailing at fourteen
knots to cut them off. Smoke and (Ire
streamed from the funnels and there
was «n odor of burning paint. The
iron deck chattered and groaned un
der the demands of the engines and
the ship gained headway.
"Suddenly the captain's shoulder
gave a lurch, his arms shot down, the
boy thrown ofT his balance fell against
the bulwarke, and the ship swerved in
a half circle on a new course. Grad
ually the speed rose to thirteen, four
teen and a half knots. The captain's
face relaxed into a smile.
"What if the engine should break
down?" thought the boy, as his eyes
again sought that distant white wake.
In the long stern chase the same
thought often came to the captain, but
his face showed nothing but a quiet
interest and his* hands held strong on
the wheel. Smaller and smaller grew
the pursuer, until Anally It sullenly
gave up the chase. Then came a

Dreadful as are llkeily to be the

that is the art of collecting pensions.
