HE vigorous move announced by the Department of Labor against Anarchists and others who urge violence as @ meaus of harassing the Government in its conduct of the war. may be directed mainly against ts in the lumber camps and say ais of the Northwest. Nevertheless there should be wide pubiicity in all sections of tne country for Secretary Wilson's warning That we will arrest, and detain until we can deport, any alien, whether member of the I, W. W, or not, who ts found advocating or teaching the unlawful destruction of property, or advocating or teaching anarchy or the overthrow by force or violence of the Government of the United States or of all the forms of law, or the assassination of public oMcials,or who ts in other manner subject to deportation under the !mmigration lawa, even though he may pot commit any overt act. Among the 55,000 members of the Lumber Workers’ Industrial Union No. 500, Industrial Workers of the World—86 per cent. the membership of which union is said to be in the Northweat lumb: camps—are many men described as “migratory workers who do not remain long enough in any one place to take out citizenship papers There are alien workers of this migratory type in other indus- tries besides the lumber industry. Among them are found the men who listen most eagerly when agitators declare the government and laws of the United States unworthy of respect, the men who are most easily induced to place bombs in munition plants or app! oil-soaked rags on a pier stacked with food and war supplies, From these migratory aliens have come the skulking supporters of idleness, eabotage and predatory tactics who have time and again cast undeserved discredit upon loyal labor. In time of peace we call them “undesirables.” In time of war they become “‘intolerables.” Internment and deportation are the only effective means of safeguarding the nation against their sinister and enemy activities. a torch to —_———_ ++. SAVE DAYLIGHT. S MARCH goes on, the still more marked increase in the number of hours and minutys of daylight in each twenty-four hours makes a etrong plea for the great common-sense, national move toward efficiency and economy embodied in the Day light Saving Bill now before Congress, The Daylight Saving Committee of the United States Chamber | of Commerce urges upon the nation’s legislators fifty-two reasons why the United States should adopt a plan which England, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Holland and Portugal have tried and found greatly to their advantage. The general arguments for moving the clock ahead an hour from April to October—the saving of artificial light, the providing of an extra afternoon recreation hour, the tonic effect upon workers during the out-of-door seaton—are now doubly reinforced by the urgent need of expediting work in shipyards, munition plants and other war in- dustries by means of every possible increase in the efficiency, cheer- fulness and enduring power of labor. ; record of concrete figures. During the summer of 1916 Great Britain ret its clocks ahead an hour and saved 300,000 tons of coal, France, by the same means, iasaid to have saved $10,000,000 worth of coal and light. By saving a yearly average of 150 hours of daylight it is estimated the United States could save wel! over $00,000 tons of coal that would otherwise be consumed for gas or electric lighting. The House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerc should report out the Daylight Saving Bill at once. The measure should bo promptly passed and its provisions put into effect next month. It is high time this nation joined the day ig + ANOTHER WAR TERM. T WILL do the country no harm to note the reminder of Senat Williams of Mississippi that its war sufferings in the matter of food have, reached no very heroic stage as yet: ht savers “Men go out and exploit themselves about wheatiess days and the lack of food. The Southern Confederacy had no wheat for three years during the Civil War. 1 went from 1862 to Lee's surrender without seeing anything made out of wheat except an occasional Christmas or birthday cake, and that was aweetencd with molasses, What is the use of talking about hardships?

A sweet+ faced woman in the vehicle's rear seat was watching the tired men. To enliven their tedious march she began to sing “John Brown's Body." The worn out soldiers caught up the spirited song and they strode along more briskly as its strains en- livened thelr dreary march. A glergyman—the Rev. James Freeman Clarke—noted the effect on the march- ers. He turned to the singer and asked: “Mrs. Howe, why don’t you write some words thet are worthy to be sung to such an Inspiring tune?” Julla Ward Howe, author, war worker and philanthropist, scarce gave & second thought to the clergyman’s suggestion. But the tune stayed in her mind. Unconsciously the song was weaving itself there, Her daugh- ter tells this graphic story of what followed: | “Waking in the gray of the next morning as she lay waiting for the | Monthly. | The army, as a whole, d Mra. | dawn, the words came to her: Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!’ “She lay perfectly still. Line by Mne, stanza by stanza, the words came sweeping on, with the rhythm of marching feet, pauseless, resistiess. She aw the long lines swinging Into place before her eyes, heard the voice of nation speaking through her lips. ‘She waited till the voice was silent, till the last line was ended, Then she sprang from bed and, groping for pen and paper, scrawled, in the gray dawn, the ‘Battle Hyman of the Republic 8 > Thus was born the song that was to thrill a whole world and to put fresh heart and enthu sm into mil~ } ace Mons of battling men. The tune of “John Brown's le NBCION, Body" fitted the words to perfection, even as the alr of the old Engilsh song, “Anacreon tn Heaven,’ fitted the deathless words of our “Star Spangled Banner.” Mrs. Howe sent “Tho Battle Hymn of the Repubilc” to the Atiantio Here tt was published. It fell almost absolutely flat. Few people bothered to sing tt. 1 fewer people saw any special merit in the poem, d not show the slightest Interest In 1t. But one of the very fow admirers of the lyric was a wiry little clergy. man, McCabe by name. (I heard him sing it, thirty years later, and he tpld me the story of its introduction Into the Union Armay—a story that has since been told by many veterans.) McCabe was a regimental chaplain, He was captured tn battle while he was tending the wounded on the firing line, and sent to Libby Prison, Libby was the great gloomy prison at Richmond tn which captured Union officers were confined during the Clvil War. One hot July night, in 1863, word of the victory at Gettysburg reached the prisoners at Libby. they were wild with Joy at the glorious tidings. Amid the cheers and handshaking little Chaplain McCabe sprang up on @ had |barrel und began to sing Mrs, Howe's “Battle Hymn of the Republic’ at , ” the top of his lungs. y volee took up the chorus Prison rang with the shout of ‘Glory » Hallet om that moment it was the best loved song at Libl As fast as Union officers eseaped from the prison, or were exchanged, they carried the new hymn's fame to their regiments. Presently the whole army was chanting it. When President Lincoln first heard It sung, says a historian, “he called ovt, as the tears rolled down his cheeks, ‘Sing {t again!’ “The Battle Hymn of the Republic’ did more for the success of the Union cause than a hundred thousand fighting men could have achieved, And it was the inspired word of ¢ woman—a woman to whom our country, 3M, R.
