Wounded, So Survivors of _ 1 ie’ British Ship Say, ‘Oneinstance in which an enemy sub- marife ‘commander, after, sinking’ @ British: vessel, amazed the survivers by giving them bandages and liniment for their wounds, stands ‘out in sharp conttast with the brutality or indiffer+ ence to suffering practiced by the Ger- man #ea pirates. Nevertheless, the eurviygrs tell a story, of extreme hard- ship, edured in small boats for six days and nights. Seventeen are miss- ing of the ship's company of 95. Five hundred miles from the Irish coast a large British steamer, outward bound in Ballast, got a torpedo death blow. No time was lost by the ship's company in’ getting away from the einking vessel. Many of thercrew had been wound: ‘ed, especially among the engine room force, With difficulty the injured were placed in the boats. . The submarine, suddenly appeared near by and the commander came on deck, He noticed \the wounded, and calling the boats alongside his craft, he went inside, returniig with band- |. ages and liniment, which he handed to the surprised ofiicers In charge of the boat. This act of kindness saved sev- eral lives, A steamer’s smoke was seen on the horizon and the U-boat made off rap- idly, The small boats shaped a course toward land, but the wind was light and unfavorable, : Only a-small store of biscuits was carried, There was water enough for} a very limited ration and in the days} that followed the sun’s heat\was al-j most intolerable. Wounded succumbed one after another and were consigned to the sea. ee Torture reached {ts txalts.

Reports from the front line trenches of New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Iowa, Illinois and points east and west, con- firm rumors of a tremendous victory for the farmerettes, with the opposing forces of General Food Shottage in full retreat, and’ enormous casualties among the potato bug brigades and the weed reserves. The Woman’s Land Army of Amer- ica is harvesting, much of the 1918 American fod crop, and along with it is reaping reward and recognition of the yalue of woman's labor on farms. George T.

Not one of us would be happy ff we assumed another's place. We are fit- ted only for our own little world, and it remains with us to make that tiny sphere what It ought to be.

Compelled to Work ‘ee, 5, P.c. nowven E shortage of labor on the farms of America is sérious. Never before in its history has the United States experienced so great a heed for workers as now. We dre face to face with*tasks that are almost beyond calculation and which will tax ‘our strength and resources. There is plenty of work for every man, and he who ‘emains idié when the country needs his services is no patriot. ‘ Every large city, town, and hamlet has its quota of habitual idlers who are doing nothing to help America in this crisis of war. If efficient laws against loafing were enacted and ‘enforced in every state, the labor shortage would be materially reduced and production greatly increased. Not only would the country be benefitted and the end of the war brought nearer, but the idlers, thus: compelled to work, would be better for it. Several States Aroused. Several states already have taken steps to put the loafer to’ work. Mary- land, West Virginia and New Jersey have passed laws making idleness a misdemeanor. Similar bills have been introduced in the legislatures of New aah and South Dakota. Georgia and other states are planning to. take action. The enactment of New Jersey's anti-loafing law was followed by a proc- lamation by Governor Edge calling upon all peice officers in the state to sce that every idle male resident be forced to work or be confined in jail. No distinction was made between tramp and millionaire, A rounding up of loafers in New Jersey town Was begun immediately, and in a single day 1,000 workless men applied for jobs at the government ‘employment bureau in Newark, - a The New Jersey law makes it the duty of every able-bodied male citizen between the ages of 18 and’50, “to be habitually and regularly engaged in some lawful, useful and recognized business, occupation, trade or employ- ment until the termination of the war in which the United States is now engaged.” > In his proclamation Governor Edge said: “The selective sérvice principle should prevail as in making of our military forces. In this case we are drafting for the industrial army, There are kinds of work too severe, in a physical sense, for the ‘society idter,’ who may, however, be competent’ to handle such’ tasks: which would be impossible for ‘slickers of the hobo type.
