So far there has been only an exchange of tentative propositions Detween the representatives of capital and the representatives of ‘organized labor on the question of collective bargaining. These prop- sitions bear solely on the means by which capital on the one hand ‘and organized Jabor on the other may facilitate the process of dividing between them that which their producing activity brings in. Organized labor, which claims a membership of 4,000,000, repre- sents, including its dependents, at most less than 20,000,000 of the population of the United States. Employers of organized labor mumber, of course, far less. There arises, therefore, the interesting question where over 80,000,000 other Americans—including some 35,000,000 other work- ers in gainful occupations—come in in settling how 10 per cent. of the entire industrial population of the country shall adjust its own special fnternal industrial relations and partition its own particular gains. The equally interesting question arises whether this 10 per cent. of the industrial population expects to impose upon ALL labor in the wountry the system of collective bargaining which it works out for iteelf—whether it expects to make obsolete the old, admired, individ- t that spirit must perish. More than 80 per cent. of the country ought to have something fo say as to what less than 10 per cent. of its workers shall be per- mitted to prescribe for the country’s industry—particularly when the {10 per cent. are engaged in discussion that threatens to decide noth- fng further than how the raiment of the 80 per cent. shall be parted. a After reading the New York newspapers, Sprout's Corner writes to ask if it's got this famous Mike Gilhooley right as the first Irish Ambassador. + ——_____ WHICH BRAND? ILL any amount of big talk and brandishing of arms save the faces of Senator Lodge and his, band as Republican ‘ Senators in increasing numbers step out of line and vote egeinst amendments that would send the Treaty back to the Peace Conference? The fiasco of the Shantung amendment means not alone the farther breaking up of Republican opposition to the Treaty and the growing certainty of ratification with only harmless reservations. It heralds also a breaking up of Republican leadership and consequent demoralization in the Republican ranks that may easily become a stampede, with results of decp moment to the party. Are any Republican Senators safe in counting on the sentiments| ” of a@ majority of their Republican constituents to sustain them to the bitter end in a losing fight against the T'reaty and to applaud them forever after as heroes of a lost cause? The names of Senators Calder and Wadsworth from New York fare found among those who voted FOR the adoption of the Shan- amendment. » Is that the kind of Republicanism that is sure to be acclaimed at present by MOST Republicans in this State? Does the Republican Party in New York swell with unmixed pride because Senators Calder and Wadsworth are not as the Republi- ean Senator from Maine who, in the interest of prompt disposal of the Treaty, declares he will vote against “any other amendments that have been or may be proposed ?” Does Senator Hale of Maine represent at this moment the sort ‘of Republicanism that will be more and more despised or the sort that will be more and more admired in months to come? ‘The Republican Party will presently be deeply engaged in pick- ing campaign leaders, sizing up candidates and estimating the chances of winning votes inside and outside the party. What brand of Re- licanism is going to look best and hopefulest then. or the Hale or Taft brand? ; Has not the Lodge leadership, from the Republican point ot view; become already a ghastly handicap? —~—+ REMEMBER: The telegraphic barrage upon Republican Senators in the United States Senate who are obstructing the treaty is timed to begin at noon Monday, SENATORS WILLIAM M.

How They Made Good By Albert Payson Terhune Coprright, 1918, by The Press Publishing Co. (The New York Brening World) No. 97—PRINCE EUGENE, One of Europe's Foremost Generals. B was born with a craving for military renown. And bis parents declared he must become a priest. Even when he gained leave to go into the army he found a million obstacles between himself and the martial glory he craved. Yet he held to his boyhood ambition, And bo made good. Prince Eugene was the younger son of the Prince of Savoy and an Itallan beauty. He was brought up in the French court, where his physical defects were looked upon with disgust by the nobility, to whom physical perfection and beauty were almost a religion. ‘The kingdom wag ruled-then by King Louis V.—the “Grand Monarch”"—a sovereign as full of selfish ambition as of greatness. Louis quarrelled with Eugene's beautiful mother and sated his dislike for her by doing all in his power to make life miserable for her son. He drove the mother from court and heaped disgrace on Eugene. There was no opening for the young man in France's all-conquering armies. Eugene left France in rage, but still stubbornly determined to make good. To Austria he went, where the Emperor was a distant kinsman of Barrens nis. Austria at that time was overshadowed by Joined Armies France and by other more fortunate and mighty i neighbors. A career in the Austrian Army did not of Austria. seem to promise much. Bat it was the only mili- tomrrrrrrrrwrn@ tary career open to Eugene. And he accepted it, He went on the principle that a man may make his poor surroundings great by his own greatness. And this he now proceeded to do. The Austrian Emperor gave the young fellow a commission in the imperial army. It was only a captaincy in an unimportant cavalry regi- ment. But it was a start. And a start was all Eugene wanted. The rest he felt confident of achieving for himself. He was fearless, a born soldier and leader of men, and a peerless strat- egist. Such a man could not remain long in a mere captaincy. Eugene rose fast in the Austrian Army, and presently the fame of his exploits reached France. King Louis wanted a corner on the services of all mill- tary geniuses for his own armies. He commanded Eugene to come back to France. Eugene replied: “I shall come back—some daj—but it will be at the head of an army of invasion!” In a little while Eugene wag not only a Major General, but had ac- quired an unbounded influence over the Austrian Emperor.
