"You shipyard workers, with your mind and muscle, a combination that gets results, are recognized as a very essential part of the war work, so let no man fear that by doing his utmost he will work himself out of a job. for the greater the tonnage of staunch ships we launch, the better will busi ness be in shipping and other indus tries after the war is won. The world needs more shipping, and the more water craft we produce, the more nu merous will be the repair jobs when actual war needs are filled.

'I am a stone, cutter and have work-, ed at the trade nearly all my life," the applicant replied. The interviewer did not reply im mediately. He was looking at the hand which rested on his desk. It was long, slim and with tapering fingers, the nails neatly manicured and in appear ance as soft as a woman's. "I am sorry, but we have no posi tions open for stone cutters at this time," the interviewer said. "Then can you use a tracer? the. ap plicant persisted. "I really have few superiors in that line." . ' Tracers were badly needed,, an af firmative reply was given, the appli cant wasTtcepted and put. to work. The foregoing in brief is a story of how Frederick E.

His Letter, Deals With Question of Carrying; Out By the Gentians of the PigTam Drawn Up By President Wilson. Amsterdam, Saturday, Nov. 2. Hein rich Lammasch, premier of Austria, has written a communication to Secre tary of State Lansing, discussing the Vienna advices. Professor Joseph Redlion, member of the Austrian reich srath, and Dr. Meinl joined with Tj. Lammasch in sending the communica tion to Secretary Lansing. It was written on Oct. 18, nine days before the Lammasch cabinet was formed at Vienna. In opening, Dr. Lammasch recalls to Secretary Lansing "the' four months which, years ago, we spent' in ' com mon labor with the object of maintain ing peace between the two great na tions.' This refers to the court of arbitra tion which decided the Newfoundland fisheries dispute," which' was held at the Hague in 1910 and at whch Dr. Lammasch was presiding officer and Secretary Lansing was counsellor for the United States. The communica tion sets forth consideration which the writer suggests should be taken into account in President Wilson's re ply to Germany. It says in part: "The German people can carry out President Wilson's program only in a manner corresponding to their con ditions, traditions and ideas. The more undisturbed the German" people are left and the fewer attempts that are made to keep them in leading strings, the more surely and quickly will they attain their objective. "Conditions which the German peo ple could only consider to be humiliat ing would be rejected,' or, if forced to accept momentarily, they would bear them only so long as the more im mediate necessity compelled. Just as after Tilsit, the German people would as soon as they had recovered their strength, rise as one man against the injustice inflicted upon them. "Only by considering these matters in formulating a program may the pernicious power of militarism be curbed."

SAYS GERMANY'S PRETENDED REFORMS ARE ONLY A BLUFF New York, Nov. 3. "The pretended democratic reforms of Germany are only a bluff," Daniel Blumenthal, a member of the French high commission to the United States and former depu ty in the reichstak from Alsace-Lorraine, declared in a statement here to night, discussing Germany's peace notes to the United States. M. Blumenthal declared that, even if all the changes reported have been made in the German government, they are not sufficient to assure government by the people. mil n UNIFORM WORKING CONDITIONS IN ALL INDUTRIES PROPOSED Washington, No. 3.

In this , country. I got. it, modestly told to be sure, from the man who directed the work during its; initial stages, General Bmilio Gugliel motti, formerly Director of Civilian Affairs, - with the General Staff ln Al bania, now attached to the Italian Em bassy in this country. 4 Italy's reason for entering Albania in the first place, he explained, was a strategic one, inasmuch as this conn trv lav n the direct route to-SalonlW, the key position of the Balkan front In Valona Bay, on the Albanian coast, Italy found her only arallable harbor on the east shore of the Adriatic Afc banla lies directly north of Greece oh Vh a driatifc her other boundaries be- little country only about 12,000 cation.

Mt(ntil we entered it In 1914, It had never, been surveyed or even- thoroughly explored, and there were no authentic maps of'the region. It Is. an extremely; mo.uhtalnpus coun try, very difficult to travel; tibrough.and among the earliest of the Aryan lm- mtwnnta and have Dreserved their an- Cient speech with comparatively little change.

Is ; sloVly but surely ssakng an "end., to the Austrian occu natWn and 'from the-first debarkation p her troops at Vatona' Bay. there has ALONG VACDNAV BAY followed Improved living conditions for the Albanians. As I. have said, our primary object in going into Albania was to open up a military route from Valona Bay to Saloniki. Our first task, therefore, was to build a great mill-, tary road - between these two points. This In, itself was no mean engineer ing task. "Following the building of this mili tary highway,, we have been running roads In every direction through the occupied territory. ' "At the time of our entry there was not a single railroad in Albania. Since then we have built three short narrow gauge roads radiating out fan fashion from Valona Bay, tapping the, main portions of the occupied territo ry. There was not a single telegraph or telephone tn all the country. Now all the: principal -cities are: connected up by these means of .communication. "We found such Industrial activities as there were so demoralized by the Austrian Invasion that one of our tasks has been to help feed the popu lation. "Along with the road-building we have made the first topographical sur vey of the country that has ever been made and for the first time have pub lished authentic maps of the occupied region. "Despite the favorable climate we found public health conditions very poor. In the low, narrow valleys, par ticularly near the sea, were many swampy regions which were breeders of disease. These have been drained and made healthful. In the cities condi tions were particularly deplorable. I call them cities by courtesy. There are in all Albania only three towns of over 20,000 Inhabitants, these being Scu tari, Erizien and Iannina. The houses are for the most part hovels. There were no sewers and no water supply. The inhabitants obtained their water by carrying it down the trails from the mountain springs in jars' or casks. We have b,uilt sewers and pipe lines from the mountains, and for the first time Albanian towns have modern sanitary, conveniences. There was no such thing as a hospital in Albania when we arrived. We have now built good modern hospitals, accessible to all parts of the occupied territory. In all the larger towns we have established abattoirs, public laundries and ceme teries. "Education presented a very serious problem. Practically the entire popu lation of Albania was Illiterate, with the exception of a few of the more prosperous class in southern Albania, who had the advantage of Greek,, schools. The Albanians themselves had no schools and no written litera ture. Besides the Greek schools, there were a few Turkish schools, but, under the Turkish regime, instruction ln the Albanian tongue had been forbidden. We therefore set to work at once to establish schools, and when I left there were 150 of these schools running In all parts of the occupied territory. "However, the welcome accorded to these schools is one of the best evi dences of the. friendly response thai the Albanians have made to our ef forts In their behalf and the confidence that, they have in Italian integrity. Before the boys' schools in the in terior had been long open Moham medan families so far overcame their scruples in iheir desire to give theii girls an education that they began , sending them to the boys' schools to receive instruction from men teachers, a thing practically unheard of before in Mohammedan countries. "In fart, everywhere we have re- celved splendid evidence of this friendly confidence and willingness to co-operate. ,For the first time proba bly in the history of this turbulent and unruly people they are paying their taxes voluntarily and gladly be cause they see that the tax money U being spent for their own benefit Fur ther than that many delegations have come to us from the towns across the Austrian line, bringing, tax money with them and begging us to take It 'and come Into thela territory : and do . for them the good work we are perform ing for their southern neighbors."
