DANGER IN ORG AN IZATI ON '

A Organization, in theory, has every pos- ' sible argument in its favour. The strength

'l of union has been proverbial through the

ages; bearing one another’s burde_ns_ is one

If- .

ff

of the chief cornerstones of Christianity; mutual helpfulness elevates and strength- ens a community or a nation. For these an_d

tionsis sound and unassaila_ble,_ but it by no means argues that 0I°gHmZ21U0Y1» P01’ §€, is infallible or invariably crowned with success

ig "TM Organizations are made up of indi-

, _

viduals, and individuals are human, some of them especially so. The success of the or-

" ` ki’ gai_iizatio_n_will dependupon the character

I _

of its individuals. One or two well-develop

<~ ed cranks or kickers can ruin any organiza-

tion. Unfortunately it is a diflicult matter

,,, to get any considerable number of indivi-

duals together who are all free from human weaknesses, who are all altrustic enough to give the other fellow the same consi- deration as they give themselves. The

l, , _ - safety-first characteristic, provided it_is not ' too pronounced, is pardonable and' if not m carried to extremes may do little mischief.

Selfishness, in so far as it aims at one’s own

1. advancement without injury to others, is ., , .

commendable, it is a worthy ambition and without it the world would make but little progress. The man, or the woman, who is

utterly unselfiesh, may be a beautiful and i .a loveable character, but it is not through

this virtue alone that the fabric which we call civilization has been built. When self fishness reaches out beyond its legitimate bounds it becomes a menace. By this sin Germany fell and brought-the present de- luge of suffering upon the world. -

5] , In our organizations, all designed by

progressive and well meaning persons, there is danger from the extremely selfish from the cranks, from the chronic objec- tors. Many an organization, launched with every _prospect of usefulness has been de- moralized and put out of business through

careless of his neighbour s reputation-al" these should be either rigorously excluded

f ' from organizations or so unmercifully sat

upon by the sane membership that they can do no harm.

This i_s an age of organization. In our

own province we have quite a number. Our farmers are organized, our women, our

bon_a fides of the institution, a slur cast up- on its management, discontent created re- garding the relation of the organization tc the community or the government, may grow ,sufficiently to wreck the institution. These_are_ among the dangers to which all organizations are subject and the remedy gsein the hands of their level headed mem-

1 ALTO DANGER.

_ One of the greatest dangers in connec- tion with automobiling is the running of autos at night with full lights on, dazzling into _almost complete blindness the eyes of au_toists, drivers and pedestrians. What might have been a very serious accident re- sulted from this cause on Prince Street Sa- turday night when a lady. cheuffeur was ,unable to see her way because of an auto standing on the side of the street with its full lights on. Herauto was run too,close to the side of the street with the result that

it collided with the wire stay of a tele- phone po e, the auto being turned com- pletely over. Fortunately it was proceed- ing slowly, otherwise the accident might , have been a ver_y serious one. Quite a num- irfdcars are being run ni htly without l dimmers with great discomfort and dan- __»E0rto all on the streets. The regulation .with reference to dimmers should be , 'strictly enforced.

Belgium and 1 Serbia because Rumania “made terms.” The fate of Belgium and .Serbia is that which Germany deals out to the weaker nation which refuses even in weakness to acknowledge the rule of might. Rumania, rendered helpless, took what Germany offered as' the only chance of av- oiding such fate, the alternative of making _terms with the -pcvwe_rful.enemy. Perhaps

she has assistedglhe #lilies by_ doing so--and to' have ddne'-o er 'sb woiild` not have helped them-because her treatment has shown whatftormfs with Germany mean. l'

The case of Ruinania is u_ndeniabl`p

proof that to whatever extent shecan, Ger- many will 'follow the rule" that might is right, and that whatever Germany may profess to the contrary is deception. Ru- mania could have been crushed as Serbia

was crushed, but, although she was trapp-

ed, she had a formidable army and it

'would have been expensive for Germany to

crush her. Germany avoided this expense by inducing Rurnania to 'law down her arms on the strength of fair promises. Had Rumania-rejected the offers contained in Germany’s promises her fate would have been inevitable, but having accepted them she is little better off. The promises were broken as soon as Germany could break them.

Ru_ma.nia, which was to benefit by ab-

andoning useless opposition to German might, has been robbed of territory in ruthless and wholesale fashion, she has been despoiled of her oil fields and other natural resources. The peace Germany promised was to be without indemnities. Phe peace Rumania has got gives her no in- demnities for damage done in her territory by German armies, but she is forced to pay indemnities to Germany at every turn. To make certain of payment, Germany has ta- ken all the balances and deposits of the Rumanian National Bank as security. Ru- mania is forced to send her food products and live stock to Germany. .

About all that Germany failed to take

under terms of peace was nominal' title to the territory she left to the Rumanian crown. She would have got little more through actual conquest. No other pro- mises or peace offers by Germany would be any more trustworthy than those through

which she despoiled) ét(umania.

Salvation Army girls were in the battle

of Seicheprey, under fire, intrepidly about administering to the needs of the Ameri- can soldiers resisting the terrifiic German attack. - Up to that time probably many Americans did not even know that the Sal- ation Army was at the front, though they ought to have known it; the Salvation Ar- my is always at the front, whether the battleline is one of war or peace. It does not fear pain, disease, or death. It does not advertise, and there is no reward to be got for helping it, except the reward that comes from conscience.-N ew York Times.

Most of the charity of the world con-

The Entente refuses to recognize the

Roumanian peace treaty, and Roumania has the right to expect such action. It must not remain shackled forever to the German industrial machine.

Have you ever considered how slowly

but surely, all this talk against the Hun is influencing people’s minds. It is going to result in a prejudice which will last many years- no matter how the German people may conduct themselves after the struggle is over.-Gloucester (Mass) Times.

When any German is inclined to com-

fort himself by the thought that the sub- marines are compassing the downfall of the Allieshe would do well to stop for a moment and consider the fact that the ex- ports of me_at from the Unit-ed States in April of this yeai’ totalled 359,000,000 pounds _ as ,compared with 161,000,000 pounds in April,-1917. A fact like that ought to take some more of the joy out of life of Fritz.

In his will,_di_sposing of a fortune of up-

wards of a million dollars, John Marston an Alderman of Wolverhampton, Eng- land, expressed the hope that his sons and grandsons 'would take up municipal life, from which,” he wrote, ‘I have derived so much pleasure and information since I had the honor to become a member of the Wol- verhampton Corporation.” This ‘is the re- oinmendation of a very prominent manu- acturer after 33 years membership in his

But as soon as tihese dupes have crossed the frontier they are strnig-htrway got to Krupp's' somehow. A favorite trick is to persualde an liiiiiiigrant to sign a paper which, though ostensibly nothing more than nn acknowledge- ment that Cho has arrived in good condition, is .really a contract with Krupp's, and* writes ii “Neutral” in tho London Ideas. notwithstanding th-at the man’s mind does not go with his signature, the law upholds that contract. '

In an Inferno

“ When the newly-caught immi-

grant zirrlves at Essen he soon realizes that he is in an inferno. lie finds hugo colonies of 'im-ported labor one consisting of about 4,000 Dutchmen- housorl in acres_ of wretched, unsanitiary huts, some of which contain more than 500 men, who at night are packed like ‘bloat- ers. In them. too, everything is ver- boten (forbidden), even sickness. if a man is' ill ~he is visited, as a mat- ter of routine, ‘by the doctor; but that functionary aiimost invariably- pronounces him fit for work, and should he hold ii different opinion the matress is pulled from under hlin. In case of any further’ resist- ance, moreover, hls rations are promptly stopped. No less unsatis- factory is the food. which now con- sists _of two .slices of dry bread in thc morning, potato soup at mid- day, and another two slices of dry bread at night. This is all, and for it the worker is stopped 10s. Gd. a week. To live on this diet is impos- siblc, and consequently those who can afford elect. to take their meals with private families-a. much less unsatisfactory, though more expensive arrnngeineni than iittenipt- ing. to live on tho official ,rations.

Not Enough Pay for Food

The pay also ls, judged by Eng-

lish` standards, grossly inadequate. Throughout neutral countries bor- deiing on Germany glowing tiiles are circulated astoiblgh wages at Essen, where. it is said, a careful man can soon save a small fortune But. as a fact. the highest paid toilers at Krupp's--those who do heavy work at the blast furnaces- receive only £3 e week, not enough to keep them in health, having rc- gard to the present high prices»of food and clothing in Germany.

I-lard to Get Out of Essen I

The pressure is so great. In fact,

that numbers of immigrants are worn out in a few months, and are then either cast away, or, if they are skilled, permitted to iiiiike periodical

visits to _thelr_ own -country' to rectili- erate and obtain food. Unless, how- ever, ii iiiiixi is scrapped. it is dini- cult for' hlni to~get away from Es- sen.

Not long ago some Dutchman 'attempted to return to ‘their own' count~ry‘;~but they were held up at the notorious live wiro, imprisoned for e. fortiiight, and then sent back to Krupp’s. Worse stilil was the experience 'of some men from Delft. After spending only two days' in Essen they had -had quite enough of it; so they iiiiidc trucks for home. At Cloves they' were nr- rested and clapped in prison. where they remained for nearly ti nioiith. They were then taken back to Es- sen, and there compelled to work for 14 days, wliereupon, with ii great deal of trouble. I-hey obtained passes.

The Opposition leader took advan- tage oi the measure being before the House for is slight amendment to in- troduce his resolution, but thc Gov- 'ernment was able to muster ii suffi- cient, following at the moment- to vote down the proposition.
