(Established 1873) Ee PEACEMAKERS Making war was a task for titans. Making peace is no job for pigmies. America’s peace- makers must needs be big men. That is, large-minded, broad-visioned men. This peace must be a lasting peace. There must be no roots of bitterness left un- pulled to fester future strifes. No more wars. That’s the dictum of blood-smeared civilization. <The peace conference must of necessity deal) with dynamic problems. Territorial readjustm pirations of peoples. ‘ Reparation for wanton destructions. Freedom of the seas. Really, these are the minor questions that the) peace conference must consider and settle. Minor because there are other, larger issues. Reduction of armaments. Freedom of trade. League of nations to maintain peace. These three are major matters. On their righteous determination depends the} future of humanity, the well-being of the com- mon man. Give us as America’s voices men who can visu- alize the good of future generations. Men who can see beyond the immediate today, who can catch the blush of tomorrow’s dawn. its. Self-government as- ‘SERVICE: Woman’s transcendental calling is Motherhood ; man’s supreme function is Service. Upon his abil- ity, to Serve, rests man’s capability to provide, to meet life’s material responsibilities and obliga- tions. EXTENT of Service, though indisputably the measure of his VALUE to community, country and society, unfortunately is not yet the gauge to man’s emoluments and recognition. The spectacular, while mayhap of transient worth, by its nature assumes an importance and prominence that o’ershadows the less showy but more intrinsic Service. = 2° So, war’s heroes of thelg& and battlefield go down the ages on the shoulders of mankind. While the toiler, whose seamed visage and gnarled hands mutely testify to stoical sacrifice and silent heroism in earth’s bowels and machine’s vitals, slips from obscurity into oblivion as the clods fall on his humble coffin. Who shall say that H. L. Witt, a miner, who has loaded 25 tons of coal a day for 251 days, is not a figure as grand as mighty ace or dare-devil rifle- man? Croix de Guerre, Victoria Cross, Distinguished Service Medal, Medal of Honor—are any of these too great for bestowal upon this sooty, grimy shoveller of 6,328 tons of coal between January 1 and October 23? Only fuel has permitted our destroyers, trans- ports, Red Cross, hospital, food and supply ships to ply victory-ward along the U-infested ocean lanes. Fuel is as indispensable as bullets and extraor- dinary effort to produce and release it is no less praiseworthy than valor in the fray. Justice to heroes of this man’s calibre demands that the War Industries Board should not merely cast a bronze bit to be worn on the breast. Sub- stantial tribute is the only adequate reward; rest for the body bended by arduous endeavor and labor’s burden. Make possible some of life’s plea- sure and relaxation to those who dedicated their utmost to the nation’s need. Hohenzollern as a count is our idea of a count of no account. “T thank you,” says King George. You’re wel- come, ol’ top. We burn no flattering incense before the de- servedly censured censorship. But we'll be highly incensed if Boche Propaganda continues to reach us uncensored. One of the attractive features of the job of feed- ing Germany is that is will drain American food stocks and keep up our high prices. Our enemies will eat and we will pay the bill. German women tortured our: wounded, spat upon our prisoners, gloated over starving British Belgian women were being violated and deported, we would feel more merciful today. MORE THAN KING. *Albert of Belgium will go down upon the pages of ‘history for all time, not as king, not as a wearer of purple robes, but as a MAN, a SOLDIER, a LEADER! ; It would have been easy for Albert to have lived in luxury and peace during the past four years. All he had to do to obtain that peace was to bow down before the vaunted might of German arms, and open the gates of Belgium to the forces of the Hun that they might the more easily invade France. . But Albert of Belgium cared more for honor, for humanity, for right and justice than he cared for palaces, throne, banquet halls and German friend- ship. Albert of Belgium stamped himself a leader of men and a patriot of the truest sort when he re- fused the Hun demand. He was not satisfied with a mere refusal. He took the field himself with his Belgian soldiers. He fought with them. He lived with them. He suffered privations, hunger, cold with them. He became one of them. He put aside every other consideration than the defense of his country’s honor. He fought by day and comforted the wounded by night. Albert of Belgium halted the Hun long enough to give France and Great Britain opportunity to prepare. The battles he fought on Belgian soil four years ago had an all-important part in this final winning of the war. B The stand Albert made in Belgium united all the world of honest human beings in opposition against the Hun. Belgium will arise out of this war glorious and triumphant. Belgium will forever and forever be a nation, peer of any in all the world. Belgium will never be forgotten. The highest niche in eternity’s hall of fame is Belgium’s; bought by suffering never before endured by any peoples; won by fighting never excelled in all the wars of the ages, and awarded by the world which loves liberty and honor. | FEEDING THE FOE AND A CUNNING GERMAN SCHEME It requires a lot-of courage to go into a life-and- death fight.

But we are going to do our best in the matter of food for the starving women and children, and_even the blood- thirsty men of Germany. That was already settled in the conference that made the armistice terms, America, England, France and Italy all agreeing to it. But Dr. Solf thought that by addressing Ameri- ca on the subject he would peeve England and France.

To judge from the starva- tion cries out of Bocheland, it was food that won the war. y “German revolution took exactly seven hours.” The creation took six days. We doubt if the Huns who devastated Belgium have, in so much shorter a time, been made over into humans meriting mercy. “Whether or not official justice overtakes the fallen kaiser, the prophecy is definitely made in captives. Now, with true Teutonic gall, they shriek for mercy fecause, forsooth, THEY are being starved! (Or claim they are.)

There is, however, a larger aspect of the problem of mental health than of the proper spending of spare ‘s. Mental health depends; on ‘the ‘action of certain fundamental in- icks.

Ninety per cent of. fhem; ‘1 have been told, are almost Useless! industrially. = There is much in the labor problem besides the mere questions of wages and hours, the two things most stress- ed by labor unions. There is a more fundamental reform. Christ — stated a great industrial truth when he said “Man shall not live by bread alone.” We lay too exclusive stress on the bread and butter aspect of the work- er’s life and neglect the other factors which must help to make on all-round like. Health physical and mental, is of primary importance in this “life more abundant.” The physical health of workingment is now receiving the attention of enlightened employers and labor leaders, partly a8 a good invest- ment. The mental health of workers should also be secured. Rest and recreation in the sparé hours help a great deal in this. direction, for it is true of the laboring man that “All the Procrustean’ bed of modern in- dustry. Not having the outlet which y should have for their legitimate nets, their repressed energy breaks out and makes them destructive.

There are ma- Jor instincts which apparently must be satisfled to make a normal life. First, there is the instinct of self-presenvation. A living wage is the first concern of a working- man, as of every living being. Secondly, there is the instinct of self-expression, or workmanship. Until modern industry contrives to satisfy this instinct in the ordinary workman, our labor problem will not be solved. Thirdly, there is the instinct of self-respect. Unless the workman is-made to feel that “A man’s a man, for a’ that,” he will be our enemy, will cherish a grievance, and will become anti-social. Fourthly, there is the instinct of EVFRETT TRUF self-sacrifice. The universality. of Sa TOR WASH ke 92 A> 25 <3 = 3d r aS WIRELESS FOR COMMERCE.

Devotion to a cause, sacrifice for this, cause, heroism if you like, have been shown by soldiers whose whole training has been one of monoton- ous industry. The,place for this instinct in industrial life has. al- mnost been destroyed. Fifthly, the instinct of loyalty should be satisfied in industry as it is in the trenches. The employ- er often misses a great opportunity to be his workingmen’s leader in- stead of their: taskmaster. Sixthly, the great instinct -of love or home making is ay one for society, and. the nol s§_ani- gratory I. W. W. shows‘the’result of lives are. deprived of their basic satisfaction in this direction as ‘well as others. Of the six mentioned, only the in- stinet of self-preseryation is fairly well satisfied by the majority of workers. It is not as fully satisfied as it should lbe. But. in emphasizing this fact we are apt to thrum. too exclusively: on this. one string. Human nature is‘a harp of. many strings, We must use the rest of the octave as well. ! The instinct workmanship is all Ibut lost. So gradual and subtle has been the change that we do not recog- nize it’ until we- suddenly note. the startling contrast between the ordinary workman of today and the,;workman of a generation or a century,pgoj,.The monotonous nature of the} mofern work, and the fact that, the workman doves not see his product are the. chief characteristics of modern industry which cripple the effort that instinct could fut into the work, and which are responsible for the dissatisfaction and unrest. In former days, the cobbler made a pair ‘of shoes and watched their pro- gress, with interest, even after he had sold them inquiring occasionally of the wearer “How are they wearing to- day?” The artist similarly has the Joy of self-expression and creation in his picture, There is no greater fal- lacy than to put in contrast with these the purely mercenary motive of the workman, “He has the same latent power of enjoying self-evpression in ‘His work.’ He is usualty starving for artistic expression as-a handicyafts- man, and consequently hates his task: CURING: DISCONTENT. This psychological approach to the labor problem has been taken by the late Professor Carleton Parker’ of the University of Washington, by Robert B. Wolf, manager of a paper pulp fac- tory, and by others. Wolf has tested his ideas with excellent: success, by a practical applicationof: them in his workshops.” ‘Fhe results of this experi- ment are significant. He introduced into his mill a system of record charts by which each individual workman could seee what his contribution to the product was. Just as in baseball we are interested in the score, just.as in school students find grades ant incen- tive, so the workmen are stimulated by having and making a record. Be- fore Wolf came to the mill there had been discontent.. On his arrival as manager there was a strike on, and pickets surrounding the yards. In strikes, as in the trenches, there is the satisfaction of instincts. The mill owner told him to get that energy that was called out by, the strike into the making of wood pulp. At first, antagonistic to the innova- tion, the men soon saw the “new game,” and, in striving to ‘excel in it, found a constructive outlet for the im- pulses that had formerly gone .into | this instinct was strikingly illus- picketing. They no longer have to en: make trouble to have the feeling of “something doing.” Discontent s gone. It has sometimes been necessary to change a man’s work, but.almost nev- qet to discharge a man for inefficiency. Meanwhile the output has improved (100 per cent in‘quantity and greatly improved in quality as well. I have sometimes illustrated the fact that employers need other than monetary inducements in this way: Sup} President Wilson had said to General Pershing before sending him overseas, “Now, Pershing, I want this job that you are going to do for m:- to be done well. Your pay therefore ill depend on’ your victories. 171 pay taken prisoner. I'll also overtime.” Pershing might have replied: “Here is my resignation, Mr. President. You have insulted me.

FRANKLIN DUANE, Many people: have been frightened by what’ they have read or heard of in- fluenza. The more you fear the dis- ease, the surer you are to get it. Go right about. your business and forget it. As the disease is spread principally by contact ‘thru sneezing, coughing or spitting, many health authorities have advised that everyone wear u gauze, Which is dally washed and saturated with a one to five hundred solution of zine sulphate in water, and then dried before wearing over’ the’ nose and mouth. You should avoid crowds, common drinking cups and public tow- els. Keep your strength up by taking lots’ of exereise in the open air and plenty of nourishing food. ‘ If you have any of such symptoms as chilliness, nasal obstructions, flush- ed face, headache, feverishness, rest- lessness, weakness, or irritating cough, give up ‘work at once and go to bed. This will saye ‘your strength to help overcome the disease. Put your feet in hot water for fifteen minutes. Thor- oughly loosen. the bowels with some such ‘mild: and non-irritating physic as Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. Drink principally of hot lemonade and then cover up with plenty of clothes in bed so as to get a good, sweat. When , | Sweating is free and the fever reduced take a dose of two Anuric Tablets .ey- ery four‘hours, followed ‘by. drinking at least a glass or two of hot water. Anuric Tablets help quickly to relieve the soreness of ‘the muscles and bones from. which, most patients complain and help the kidneys flush out the polsons. 4 To relieve nasal obstructions and excessive discharge‘from the nose, probably nothing is better than such a mild,. soothing, antiseptic wash as Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. It will give great relief. Employed ‘as a gargle, in same strength as wade for use in the nose,and as hot as can be borne, it quickly arrests soreness and dryness. in the throat. rads . Influenza weakens the pdtient’s re- sistance to disease, so that there is danger of bronchitis and pneumonia developing. To combat this tendency and fortify the patient's strength in- sist that he keep in bed at least two days. Probably nothing. will at-this stage hasten the recovery and strengthen the patient more than an iron-tonic tablet called “Irontic” or that well known herbal tonic, Dr, Pierce’s' Golden Medical Discovery, which has been used by thousands in the past two generations. for glory, and for the satisfaction of expressing whatever is in nie of mili- tary genius.” And ‘the. common ‘soldiers under him The jarmy gffords the ‘Supremest illustration of men. motivated by entirely different instinct than simply self-preservation er “making aliving.” Instintts which had been repressed or dormant ;up to this point in their lives are now found far more powerful in these workmen soldiers than the instinct of making a living.
