DIVIDE THE TREATY. Senator Charles E Townsend of Michigan is in receipt of resolutions adopted at a recent meeting of the American Defense Society, which he has had reproduced in, tho Congressional Record. The purport of the document is Indicated in the opening sentence, which reads as follows: "The American Defense Society respectfully requests the senate of the United States to reject' the socalled covenant' and eliminate it from the treaty or peace with Germany, and in place thereof request the appointment by the nations which have warred against Germany, of committees to perform those duties under the treaty necessary to regulate the carrying out by Ger

many of its terms.' The Defense Society played a notable

part during the war in furthering our cause, and its

views on Americanism and the league of narion3 signed

by some of the most prominent men of the country, should

command the attention of everything man.

WHENCE COMETH WISDOM? So many things are done nowadays that are done .without thought; so much that, is unwise is seen that it would sm as if men's minds are made up hastily and without due consideration for consequences. There once was a man who eschewed evil and his name was Job. The unwise acts of the people who lived then gave this man some concern and he spoke in a way which is certainly as timely now as it was then. He said: "Where shall wisdom be found, and where is th place of understanding? Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living. The depth saith. It is not in me; and the sea saith, It is not in me. It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be -weighed for the price thereof. It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyr. or the sapphire. The gold and the crystal cannot eaual it: and

the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold- No mention shall be made cf coral, or pearls; for the price of wisdom is above, rubies. The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold. "Whence, then, cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding? Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air. Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears. God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof. For he looked to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven; to make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure. When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder; then did he see It, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched It out. And unto man he said. Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding."

AND THEY DIED FOR FRANCE.

The report that President Poincare of France has

decreed that the bodies of American soldiers shall not

be removed for a period of three years, unless through

diplomatic negotiation is saddening news to the thou

sands of fathers and mothers whose soldier sons are

buried there- They f, nd it hard to believe the report in view of the fact that their boys died to save France.

As to one of the reasons for the reported decree, a lack of railroad transportation," the mourners point

to its inconsistency as shown in the transportation of

hundreds of thousands of living American soldiers. However, the qualifying clause regarding "diplomatic nego

tiations" holds out the hope that tbe United Staes gov

ernment will yet insist upon the early return to their sorrowing homeland of those who made the supreme

sacrifice.

A Union For Production

(From the CALUMET RECORD.) "Any attempt to establish a system

of living or a system of work that is contrary to human nature is predestined to failure.

"Long ago organized labor made the

fatal mistake of trying to grade all workers of one class alike so that all would receive the same pay. This not

only scaled down the good workers to the level of the mediocre or worse, but it removed the incentive of effort. "If a man can earn more wages by producing more work he will try.

There is an incentive. But when he is to receive so much an hour, there it no incentive for special effort, on the contrary there is every reason to slack up and soldier on the job. "The whole thing is very simple to us. Right here the system fails and always will fall. It is contrary to human nature"All the agreements and laws and resolutions in the world can not change basic truths. It is human nature for a man to put forth special efforts when special rewards are to come. Any attempt to do otherwise slows up production. "This is the big trouble in America today. Organized labor does not seem

to recognize the fact that the only

way to create wealth Is to produce. Wealth cannot be created by working six hours a day instead of eight or ten, and it cannot be produced by higher wages unless these wages come as tne result of increased production. "By the same rule the establishment of prices by law fails. Production and commerce and business can not be carried on by passing laws and resolutions and agreements. Deliver the goods that's the only way to accomplish anything. "Let us have a new union, a union for production, for efficiency. Let organized labor spend its efforts increasing the capability of its members, instead of trying to scale them down to less work for more pay.

"All these matters are really very

simple. They follow the great law of

supply and demand and the basic principles of human nature- Follow them and production, success and

prosperity will result. Go against

them and things are thrown off their

balance. When organized labor teach

es its members to do more work for

more pay they will get it. As long as

they try to work less for more pay

they will fail. That is the whole of

the matter."

when probably we shall charter several big Liners from America," declared Heir Vogelsang. The United States, ln the opinion of Geheimrat June, will receive but an in-

flnitewsimal proportion of Germany's army of emigrants. The German gov

ernment at least is not encouraging emigration to the United States. "In the United States," said Hcrr Jung, "our people lose their German nationality and become Americanized. The German-Americans proved this in the war. We want our emigrants to r.--ma;n German. This is possible only in countries where language and customs are sharply contrasted to our own. Countries like Russia, Argentine, Paraguay and Brazil are Ideal for German settlements "We have a report here that the. American congress has made a law, compelling all immigrants to study tho Emrlish language and American history. Such measures of compulsion will certainly not appeal to Germans. "Russia probably will he the favorl'e. point of emigration for Germans. That country abounds ln virgin res.iurces that can be exploited by industrious and thrifty Germans."

TAILORED COSTUME FOR BUSINESS GIRL

HIGH COST OF LEAGUING. During the recent discussion In the house on the bill amending the Lever food control act, Representative William A. Rodenberg charged that President Wilson, in his last address to congress, "made a feeble effort to establish some sort of connection between the present high cost of living and a league of nations." "Painfully, and it struck me, rather laboriously," continued Mr. Rodenberg, "he tried to create the impression in the public mind that the American people could not expect any relief of a permament nature from the present excessive prices on necessaries until the treaty of peace embodying his Utopian conception of a league of nations, was ratified by the senate. You know the president once said he had a single-track mind. The public is convinced long since that the admission Is well founded. . '. . I now appeal to our president to wake up and get his mind back on the track of domestic duty. I ask him to transfer his thoughts from Europe and her intrigues to America and her necessities.' ... I. implore him to forget for a

CUPID IS NOT ON STRIKE.

Over in England they're worrying about an alarming

increase in bigamy. Parliament is considering a measure for stricter methods so as to Identify folk who attempt to marry again without first obtaining a divorce. In 1914 there were 130 trials for bigamy in England; in 1917 Aere were 435. Elnce then the crime has become much more common. We had been led to believe that marriage records were kept most scrupulously In England, but it seems there has been much laxity. In France they're worrying about the just opposite condition. There are not enough marriages instead of being too many. Young men with an eye on the mounting cost, of living are not marrying even once. And government bounties are talked of. Here in America, Judging from the marriage license lists and the society columns of the newspapers, we have no cause to worry about the decline of matrimony, nor has there been any recorded increase in -bigamy. Logic or no logic, the old motto aparently is believed ln: "Two can live as cheaply as one." Perhaps it is because they have to. Bigamy means having one wife too many and a cynic says that monogamy means the same sometimes. But young Americans are not cynical and the fail wedding season prom-

REMINDED. Profiteering and hoarding are preventable and punishable under war-emergency legislation, and have been for more than two years- Mr. Hoover, when food administrator, reduced these practices to a minimum, turning over the punitive fines to the Red Cross. Under general law, of course, it. is not a crime for a seller of sugar to charge as much as he can induce his customers to pay. But under a special law which makes the government a dictator it may be one and punishable by fine or imprisonment. From the day Mr. Hoover left us, to grapple with the food situation in Europe, until Mr. Wilson, home from Europe, was reminded of the trust confided to him that law has been a dead letter. Mr. Wilson would apparently have the minds of his fellow countrymen diverted from this gross neglect by consideration of an appeal for more law- Providence Journal. ,

THE SEASON WHY the SeX.oxe Theatre Is running Nuimov in "Tne Brat" is because in is good. A great many people waoited to know why we did not run "The Bed Lantern." We told them to ask people who l ad seen it and that would explain It. Nasimova appears ln "The Brat" all the time.

It is often necessary for the business woman to adopt a distinct tailored style and yet she does not want a suit which looks too mannish. Here is an exquisitely cot and fitted suit of a soft woolen material which does not wrinkle easily. It is -smart and attractive and has a decidedly stylish air. The tailored blouse with its Roman stripes jives a bit of color to the costume and the plain banded sailor is in keeping: with the rest cf the outfit. She is perfectly jrroomed and ready for any occasion which the day may brinj? forth.

A. G. Anderson ?T,rF CORRESPONDENT I N. SERVICE) BERLIN. Sept. 20. Four million Germans are preparing to abandon the fatherland and seek their fortunes, abroad. This figures is official, furnished me by Gehcimrat Jung, director of the reent'y organized Government Bureau cf Migration. It will take ten years to transport the emigrants, according to Herr Jung. Bad economic conditions, resulting from the war. are responsible for the

wholesale exodus. The big German steamship companies already have begun booking passages for the prospective emigrants. The Hamburg-Amerika line alone, according to Carl Vogelsang, director of th Berlin office, has a waiting list of 401) families destined for the United States and South America.
