The Clinton News Record, 1915-10-14, Page 7IP" ---National Duty in War 111 London, Eng., Sept. 2a; --The prin ciple that we should act under order to the end of the war applies no less to the industrial than the' military. sphere. It applies to "every depart - Ment of. natienal supply—to the agri- culturist, to the' -transport ,workeig to the skilled factory hand, to the em- ployer and his machiaes, to casual labor. The activities of 45,000,000 human beings • can be co-ordinated and directed to a single end only through the impalpable cohesion which willing and loyal service gives. Discipline in essence is prompt and exact obedience to orders. And in war time the nation, if it is to do its work properly, must, no less than the army, put itself under discipline. But on •the industrial plane it can - .not be done by law. The Government cannot give order a to every individual as to how he should employ himself to the end of the war. National ser- vice in industry must be introduced primarily by public opinion. The nationaleunity cif Germany or France, their efficiency and spirit, their subordination of all questions of person or class to the supreme busi- • ness of war, is not due to statutes or to fear of punishment, but to a self - impose(' national discipline, directed and encouraged by Government, but In its essence of popular origin. And in this country unaty and efficiency will only come through national disci- pline similarly self-imposed. It is not until every worker, every employ- er, every farmer, resolves to do what- ever will serve his country best in Ibis the day of its trial, whatever it may cost, that we shall get efficient orga- nization and,inner peace. This spirit is specially difficult to Introduce in the industrial sphere. Unfortunately the war has caught the British Isles at the crisis of the strug- gle between capital and labor. In- dustry itself has become a sort of trench warfare in which positions are won or retained only after long and desperate fighting. In consequence, t� a large proportion of the popula- tion duty to the State has been al- most forgotten in the more pressing claims of duty to their class. Sud- denly another and more real war has intervened, with an imperative de- mand on both sides to abandon their strife and bend all their energies to increasing the output of supplies. This they have so far been unable to do. The ill -feeling between employ- ers and labor is not abated; neither side will make much advance towards compromise, and, in donsequence, strikes still occur, and the output of supplies is grievously delayed. In the industrial sphere there is as yet no united front to the foe. It is mania festly shared by both sides. And fundamentally the reason is the same. The war is not tea lae allowed to en- danger the positi6ns they occupy on the industrial battle -ground. The rights of property are not to be seri- ously infringed, the rights of labor are not to be seriously impaired even duririg the war. Neither side, in fact, is willing to make the sacrifices which must inevitably be made if they are one and all to do their own full duty In the war. It is obviously difficult for two armies to suspend their quarrel and to substitute spontaneousand ener- getic co-operation for competition a,.1 suspicion. It is, therefore, the business of the State to lay down the terms of a temporary settlement which, by guaranteeing to each side as far as possible the essentials of their own positions after the war, ' will justify it in calling upon both to combine to increase the output of • munitions to the utmoat possible ex- tent till victory is won. The mind - pies of the settlement are not difficult to see. On the one hand, all special war profits, of whatever kincl—that • Is, profits over and above the average of the pre-war rat. -must be diverted from private pockets into the coffees of the State, so that every man should feel that if he is working harder, he is working for the State and not for private gain. On the other hand, the right to strike and regulations re- stricting output must be abandoned, so that the ontput San be increased to the maximum which efficient organi- zation and hard work can give. No settlement,. however safeguard- ed, can be expected to restore pre-war conditions when the war is over. The war itself is changing them perma- nently. The totally new economic world in which we shall soon live will change them still more. With the best will in the world things can ne- ver again be as they have been • ,But even if they could, the risk that both sides will incur of losing something of what they have fought for all these years, by absolutely suspending their own industrial battle for the war, is precisely the sacrifice Which they ought to make for the sake of their fellows and their Allies and the cause for which we stand. So long as we loolaat the problem from the point of view of our own interests we shall t From The Round Table, The first aapect of the problem • is -I mainly for the Government. They s alone can decide where economies can be effected in our public expenditure. Not the smallest cease of waste is the prevailing idea that everybody and every locality has aright to make aa much.profit as then cam Out of the tremendous outlay of public money that is now going on. That idea is quite inconsistent with any true prin- ciple of national service. If national service were carried into universal effect everybody would serve the country for a living wage according to their own standard of living, till the end of the war. But while any such drastic revolution, as that is out of place in the Middle of war, some step e can be taken towards it. ,Large savings, at any rate, can be made at the expense, not of the comforts of the soldier, but of the prdfits of the stay-at-homes, by a ruthless cutting down of billeting rates and contract prices, and by careful economy of supplies everywhere. The second aspect of the financial problem is for ourselves. The Gov- ernment has already declared that drastic personal economy is necessary partly so that the savings effected may be invested in the war loan, portly so that, by reducing the quan- tity of foreigis imports, we may les- sen also the bill we have to pay abroad.It is for us now to carry these orders out. If we are all to do our share to help to win the war, we must set about economizing in every possible way ourselves.r In this all have a part toaplay. No economy'is too smallawhether it be in food, ma- terial like petrol and tires, or luxur- ies for it not to affect the balance of trade. And no sum withheld from expenditure on some private pleasure is too small to invest in the national loan. In the aggregate the effect will be immense, and our conduct for the rest of the war may determine whe- ther we are able to last out an end which is decisive. Months ago the Germans began to work for victory in this way. We have now to make up for lost time by still greater reso- lution in the task. Finally, in order to enforce econ- omy, as well as to ease the industrial position, drastic new taxation man be necessary. This may mean—it proba- bly ought to mean—the sweeping of all special war profits over and above the average pre-war rates into the coffers of the state, a tax on wages, a still higher income-tax, and new duties on such articles as tea and tobacco imported. from abroad. Of the actual measures necessary and the complementary steps which may be needed to deal with the unemployment drastic economy may cause, the Gov- ernment must judge. It is for us to accept the burden cheerfully and without complaint. SCARCITY OF PHYSICIANS. Call of Young Men to War Will Cripple Profession in England. The dearth of medical men in the United Kingdom is not only serious at present on account of the war, but it will continue for years afterward, in the opinion of the Lancet, the or- ganrof the British medical profession. In a recent issue the Lancet says: "That our medical schools will go very short of students is certain, and this will mean a dangerously small list of medical practitioners to mini- ster to the needs of the country in the near future. The position is inevit- able. The spirit which will lead young men of the military age and the educated class to join the army must have this effect, but it is the duty of the medical profession to face the difficulty an'd to make the best of it. • "The great work which the medical contingent with the navy and army has accomplished in the present war 'will aet later as a stimulus to enthu- siasm for our calling, and the short- age which mut occur in our ranks for the three or four years following, say, 1917, will speedily remedy itself when our social work resumes' as far as altered eircamstances willper- mit, the scheme which we had, with considerable lack of prevision, come to regard as the normal one. "The war found the number of the medical profeseion in this country al- ready disquietingly low, and with in- dications of further sagging in those numbers. The figures indicate a eel:l- ops shortage of medical men for the years following the waa. Not only has a large number of young men otherwise would be beginning or pur- suing their medical studies been ab- torbed, but, unfortunately, a serious toll was taken last autumn,ofthose who, being already nearly qualified, would have been able to practice their profession as qualified men in a few months. ,"The future will see an increased demand for medical men, and their prospects of success will be so great hat the aspirants will assuredly be iumerous. And there will be an im- provement M the conditions which bave prevailed •in ,the past, not only because the profeasion of medicine will share in sociological -progress, but because the record of thework of medicine, throlighout the war has een such that it must lead to a close -elationship between the, medical pro- esaioa add the POW'.

Suddenly -our artillery dropped one shell into them, a sort of trial bail, and then there was a cats and dogs downpour of shells. Line after line of the attacking force disappeared, whole companies and even battalions seemed to be blotted off the face of the earth as fast as they came for- ward, and the ground over which our men subsequently advanced was like a shambles. Dead and dying were everywhere, and all that was left of the enemy was in terror-stricken flight, only to be mopped up by our gunfire a little further on. DO SUBMARINES PAY?

Merchants of all kinds would set up their booths at the fair, and the people from all the country- side would come looking for bargains. Wants that arose after the fair was over had to remain unsupplied until the opening of the next fair, unless the customer could make the toilsome journey to the nearest large town or could prevail upon some neighbor who was undertaking such a journey to execute his commission. The fair still survives for special lines of goods or for special occasions, but for general trade it has been supplanted by the established store with its advertise- ments in the daily newspapers. "A day too late for the fair" is a prever- bial expression of costly and wasteful tardiness. The person to whom it was applied in the old days had lost the chance of doing profitable business. Anyone who fails to read and heed the advertisements in his newspaper wastes his money just as did the poor wight of old who was "a day too late for the fair," and had to supply his wants at great cost. The modern store and the modern advertisement constitute, in effect, a fair that is open all the year round and that affords such bargains as the hagglers and chafferers of old days never even dreamed of. AUSTRALIA'S PART IN WAR. Colony Has Raised 117,000 Men and Sent 76,566. A comparison of the manner in which Australian and Canadian trade have been affected by the war and an official statement as to the number of soldiers Britain's Antipodean colony has contributed to the allied cause is contained in a report to the Govern- ment by Trade Commissioner Ross in Melbourne. Australian trade during 1913-14 totalled $812,812,658, as compared with a Canadian total of $1,113,562,- 107, but in 1914 her trade was but $608,652,014, as compared with Can- ada's showing of $1,078,173,240. Since the declaration of war on August 4, 1914, the Commonwealth had organized, equipped and de- spatched 76,566 troops for active ser- vice abroad. At the present time 40,400 troops are in camps in Aus- tralia for despatch to the front. To date the grand total of the Australian expeditionary forces raised has reached 117,000 men, excluding 8,000 troops of the citizen forces mobilized for home defence. Reinforcements are going forward at the rate of 5,300 a month, and this number will be in - ceased to 10,600 in Octobet and 10,- 600 in November; .1.

MERITS OF CERTAIN WATERS. Baths That Have Made Men and Cities Famous. The act of bathing has usually been looked upon as merely prosaic and necessary, but not a few baths have attained to fame either because of some incident which took place while the bather was engaged in the act of ablution or from some other circum- stance connected with it; while there have been some famous baths in fie - tion, such as the one which Alfred Jingle took after his match with Sir Thpmas Blaze, after which he "had a bath and went to dinner." Then there was the bath taken by Arthur Pen- dennis, to which he treated himself after he had "met Men of a low set,"/ and which he had scented in order to make it more efficacious. Bathing has been the custom among primitive peoplea from the earliest times, and indeed the animals recog- nize the necessity of keeping their skins healthy by cleansing them con- stantly in some way. It was said that the merits of the Bath springs were first diseovered by Prince Machu', who suffered from a skin disease, by watching a sick pig wallowing in the mud. Sick animals, too, led the traveller to discover the merits of certain wa- ters in Africa for miring fever, for She banks of rivers bordered by cer- tain slirubs become impregnated with their juices; the extreme value of qui- nine as a remedy for malaria was first discovered, it is said, by watching the recovery of several animals who drank of the waaers which flower past the bushes. Baths among some nations of the East have come to be recognized as curing mental ailments, and the pil- grim who sought everywhere for the "River of the Arrow" firmly believed thnt, when he had bathed in it, all his sins would be washed away. Bathing in the Ganges is credited with the same virtue by the Hindus, while visi- ors to the Pool of Siloam in Biblical ays believed that no ailment could urvive washing 111 its waters. Many oly wells are credited with still tranger virtues, since those who lunge into them are said to obtain heir wishes if the proper forms are bsorved. Stories have been woven ound certain bathers which gild their et of bathing with romance. The ath taken by Archimedes, owing to verfilling by a servant, led to the dis- overy of specific gravity.

The following letter, which is quoted in the London Spectator, is by a young American- fighting with the "I've been mixed up with the Bri- tish soldiers for some time now," he says, and I tell you there Is not a cleaner fighter nor better gentleman in the world than the average Bri- tisher. They know how to win and they know how to lose. "They never forget they are gentlemen no matter what they do, and they have the eour- age that knows no ending. Napoleon said --"The British nation is a race of lions led by asses,' and he was quite right. They are thought to be snobs, but I admire them. I have seen the 'snobs' out in France, and braver men nor truer gentlemen never lived. They share the hardships with the men, and never ask them to do what they wouldn't do themselyes. The men worship them, and will follow them anywhere. I have yet to wit- ness a German officer leading his men in a charge. They follow after. But the British officer always leads his men, and so does the French. , "For an example of the average British officer let me tell you of my company commander' Lieut. Scott. He is only a boy oftwenty, and a direct descendant of Sir Walter Scott. He was an only son of one of the proudest families in Scotland. When there was any risky work to be done he would not shift it off on to a ser- geant or corporal, but would ask for volunteers, -apd when lie had those he wanted would lead himself. His un- flinching devotion to what he consid- ered his duty and quiet courage in the performance of that duty was some- thing beautiful to witness." Vital ling Power Fills the System Awl Health Returns A crowing curative triumph in medi- cine is now given to the world, and all who have been sufferers from stomach ailments, indigestion and headache can be cured quickly by a purely vegetable remedy. Calomel, salts and such like are no longer ne- cessary. They are harsh and dis- agreeable. Science has devised some- thing far superior, and you can go to -day with 25o. to any druggist and buy a box of Dr. Hamilton's Pills which are considered the very quick- est and safest cure for the stomach, bowels, liver and kidneys. Half sick men and women who scarcely know what ails them will be given a new lease of life with Dr. Hamilton's Pills. Depressed spirits disappear, headaches are forgotten, appetite in- creases, blood is purified and enrich- ed, pains at the base of the spine are eured, the nerves are toned up, ambi- tion to work is increased, and day by day the old-time health and vigor re- turn. A trial only is necessary to prove how beneficial Dr. Hamilton's Pills are to all who are weak, nerv- ous, thin, depressed or in failing health. A Blow to Iler Pride.

ELT.XOTT", Principal, ENGLISH LIQUOR LAW EXACT. Hours for Sales Fewer Than Before— Prohibition Gaining. The prohibition wave which is pass- ing over England is gaining rapid headway, and drastic measures are being adopted throughout England, and the order just issued by the Cen- tral Control Board in charge of the liquor traffic in Liverpool and the Mersey district is typical of what is beiug done. Thi order prohibits the sale of any intoxicating liquor in hotels or any licensed premises or clubs for con- sumption on the premises during all hours of the day and night which are not included: in the special -meal hours designated. These hours are between 12 noon and 2.30 in the afternoon and between 6.30 and 9.30 in the evening.
