A Labor Day Message By W. B. Wilson, Secretary of Labor. This Labor Day finds America at the greatest ; crisis in history. The nation is engaged. in the greatest war the world has ever seen, and upon the results of thi3 war will depend the fate of humanity for centuries. We have sent a great army abroad to cooperate with the armies of our allies. Our navy is clearing the seas of the German submarines. Our men in blue and khaki have won glory by many heroic deeds ; they have helped to inflict upon the foe a crushing defeat which, we hope, may prove the turning point of the war. But whether it does prove such depends as much upon those who remain at home as upon those who go abroad to fight. We have no fears for our soldiers in France, provided we can keep them well fed, well clothed and properly equipped; they have already shown themselves more than the equal of the Kaiser's best troops. Upon this day, of all days, we must consider seriously the problem before us at home. We must maintain our armies in the field at the topnotch fighting strength, and we must supply the needs of our allies and the starving people of Belgium. This is a day on which Labor must consecrate itself to a great task the task of winning the war. For this tremendous duty halfway measures will not suffice. There must be absolute loyalty and devotion to the nation's cause these I believe, our people have already shown beyond a question. But more than this, there must, be a clear understanding of the great need, and a new determination to gratify it Maximum production is the goal for which we must strive. With every workman giving his utmost strength and will power, we shall attain it. The task will not be easy, nor the effort small;

but we have no choice. To save all that we hold

dear, we must work, work, work for the boys in France and the allies. One phrase sums it up: "Work as you would fight."

The coal miners are doing that. They have produced the greatest amount of coal in history,

despite the heavy loss of men through enlistment

Many records have been broken in shipbuilding. Great industrial plants are producing material for the army at unprecedented speed. The Nashville powder plant, the greatest in the world, was completed three months ahead of time. One workman made a record by driving 4,875 rivets in one day. Only a short time afterward, the mark was passed by another who drove 5,000. Now we are told that a workman has driven 6,000 rivets in one day. Such deeds as these show the spirit that animates our people and have served as examples to stimulate the whole great body of Americans to nobler tasks. The glory of it all is that labor has visualized the needs of our armies, and our peoples and its own relation to those necessities. Labor accepts that responsibility enthusiastically, loyally. With our splendid Army on the battle fields of Europe, reinforced by an efficient industrial army in America, militarism is doomed to defeat. Democracy will be triumphant on earth.

The War Situation A glance at any war map will bring a sense of satisfaction to a patriot. The Most High's Huns have been pushed back uniformly from Lens in Flanders to Reims in the south, one-half the distance between the Hindenburg line and the farthest 1918 German advance has been reconquered and the triumphant allied armies are persisting in their eastward march. The famous Chaulnes-Roye-Nesle triangle, the most powerful fortification of the German center, has fallen, forcing the Huns to evacuate adjacent territory and retreat toward the Hittdenburg line. Military critics are wondering if Marshal Foch's strategy includes an ' attack against the strong Hindenburg line, with Cambrai, St. Quentin and Laon, all highly important railway terminals, as objectives, or if he will close his campaign when the Germans have retreated to this line. West of Cambrai and north of Lens, this line

already has been broken and the British are east of it. The possibility of outflanking the line from the north -presents itself. If this is carried out successfully and on a large scale, the whole German line in Flanders is threatened and a retreat, out of Belgium is in order, It is idle to speculate on the possibilities of the next weeks, for, Marshal Foch has sprung so many surprises since July 18 that the average layman can only admire his skill while he waits for the next development on the war map. We must not overjook the significant fact that Ludendorff and Hindenburg, although in a very tight place just now, are not so much con

cerned with the present status of the campaign

as with the prospect of the future. They are in the same position in which the Allies found themselves early in the year when the German pressure forced them back over many miles, with this important exception, that while the allies were assured of new man power from the rapidly growing American armies, the Germans today have

used up their available reserves from the old

Russian front, and have no new levies of large proportions. The Germans are falling back upon prepared positions, as the Allies did, and if the Hindenburg line is strongly defended the allied armies have a task ahead of them which is infinitely more complicated than their victorious offensive so far has been. In the meantime Hindenburg and the general staff have been trying to devise some foil to the man power which the Allies are throwing into the field. Earlier in the year the German staff believed that if the French

and British armies could be crushed before the American levies arrived, the war would be won. That accounts for the March and July offensives, both of which were wrecked by the arrival of the Americans and the brilliant counter-offensive which Marshal Foch launched. Some military critics believe that Hindenburg is counting on an army of 3,000,000 recruited from the Ukraine, Lithuania and Poland, and that his present retreat is to give him time to get these soldiers into line. M. Andre Tardieu, high commissioner of the Franco-American war cooperation, in a cable to Washington, says Germany has only forty-seven divisions "whose morale is considerably shaken" as her last reserve in the present battle. This would make Germany's total reserve at the present time only 611,000 men, a very small force to combat the American forces that are pouring into France at the rate of between 200,000 and 300,000 men a month. If Germany's man power has been effectively exhausted since last March, Hindenburg may be forced to retreat not only beyond his old line but still farther east, so as to conserve his fighting power. Interest of no small degree, therefore, attaches to the purpose and decision of the German general staff. To those who are seeking an explanation of the German motive and principle io the fighting from Lens to Reims, the advance of the Allies is not of so great interest as an understanding of what the German general staff has in mind and how far the Most High will retreat before he rallies for the final battle of the war. The relative distances from the fighting line lo German soil also are of interest in this connection. An Associated Press dispatch Friday said the Hindenburg line at St. Quentin is 15 miles due east from the allied positions. St. Quentin is 470 miles from Berlin and 192 miles west of Coblentz on the Rhine. American troops east of Luneville are nearest of the allied troops to Berlin, which is 400 miles north-northeast, as the crow flies. In southern Alsace the Americans are 18 miles from the Rhine. In estimating the allied strength for the great offensive, the American army south of Verdun must be taken into consideration. This army has not been used in the present offensive. American troops that have seen action are in the Marne .region and a small number, so far as press dispatches reveal their presence, have been assisting the French south of the Somrae. Admittedly

j the great American army will not be permitted to

lie idle, and especially not since this part of the line was definitely handed over to the Americans many months ago and lines of communication on a large scale .between it and the American seaport base have been established. An attack on this flank of the German line may be expected, provided part of these troops are not on their way now to re-inforce the British in a gigantic flanking attack against the northern end of the Hindenburg line. Flowers on Battle Fields From the Columbus Dispatch. A WRITER calls attention to the fact that after the battle of Landen in the Netherlands, in 1603, millions of scarle poppies sprang up on the battle field. He refers, further, to the fact that the same thing happened after the battle of "Waterloo. So he wonders whether the bloodstained fields of France and Belgium will now become radiant with blossoms. He might have referred to an incident of our Civil war. The fleld3 about the city of Atlanta were whitened with the. blossoms of the daisy for the first time the next spring after the worn and weary forces of Sherman had camped upon them, and to this day the blossoms of the daisies are used to decorate the graves of those who fell and lie buried about the city. But there wasn't anything strange about ft. The feed of the daisies found their way to the fields in the Northern hay shipped to the army just as the same kind of seed will find Its way to France. We predict that when the war Is over many American flowers will blossom upon the graves of our soldier dead in that far ojf land and by virtue of the same process.

A very young housekeeper decided to' do her bit by papering the kitchen herself. She would thus give hubby a nice surprise, and also save the a nice surprise, and also the expense expense of having a professional wall paper hanger. - When hubby arrived home, however, the "surprise" that greeted him consisted of yards' of soaked and crumpled wall paper, smeared wails and a despondent wife. "There, there, dear." comforted John, "Did you follow the printed directions?" . "Yes," she vowed, "only of course," and her eyes shone with pride and patriotism," where It called for flour, I used half cornmeal." A novelist said at a Bar Harbor tea: "It is incredible what some women will spend to get Into society. A western millionaire's wife came to New York, took a house in Fifth avenue and gave a ball of great magnificence. "When her husband totaled up the bills, he winced and said: "'My. Maria, those here bills total up to J30,000. " 'It costs money, dearie,' said the wife, 'to get into society.' " 'Humph,' said the millionaire, 'it don't seem to me that we are gettin' into society as much a3 society is gettin' into us'."

Hindenburg's circus will have to

j play the rest of the season without

a clown. The first-bom of All-Highest has packed his six trunks of medals and is on a six months' vacation. The kaiser can now work the old excuse on friend wife for staying so long in France. He has been sitting up with a sick friend Ludendorf.

Why not tax chins ? Ten per cent for a single chin, 20 per cent for a double chin, and 30 per cent for a triple chin. Would not that settle the food thing on an equitable basis? -

In a geographical magazine we note,

i Germany is a low-lying country. Not punctuated properly. It means j that Germany is a low, lying country.

Anoiner imng we positively reiuso to worry about is the offe- reported scarcity of table luxuries in Sweden. This also goes for Holland, Norway, Denmark and Spain, Not forgetting our old friend Mexico.

Store Advertisements Have A Special Service Value to Buyers for the Home Just Now !

We are living in a new industrial era. Conditions of manufacturing and selling are changing constantly. ; Essential commodities are to be obtained almost as readly as in peace times - but values and prices are not the same. Generally speaking, prices are higher in all lines necessarily so, for materials and labor cost more. ; Merchants aim to keep buyers informed of changing conditions, of altered . prices and of present values of commodities. Advertisng thus plays a more important part in our daily lives than ever before. x Housewives must buy wisely- with knowledge of commodities with proper economy, but without running the risk of securing poor values through a policy of always buying at the lowest price. Women should not merely read the ads they should STUDY THEM.
