♦ THOSE WHO STAY. ♦
(By Thos. Addison, of The Vigilantes )
Not every man may carry a gun,
Else/ would I be carrying one;
Yet, please God, for the Flag of the
Free
I will do my bit as it comes to me,
And whether with hand, or voice of
cheer,
Whether it costs me little or dear,
Whatever the task may it only be
Within the strength that is given me.
Not every man may carry a gun,
But for those who stay thfere is work
to be done.
Gul held me find to my hand some deed
That I may do for my country’s need,
If only to wield a spade or a hoe
To smooth the way of those who go.
For whether we go or whether we stay.
It's the will to serve that shall win the
day.

WOMEN IN
KRUPP WORKS.
How rapidly German women are
taking men’s place in industry and
adapting themselves to the hardest
kind oQ work as a result of the world
war is brought out by data found in
an article on the Krupp works at Es
sen by Adolph Koster, printed in a re
cent issue of the Frankfurter Zeitung.
The numbers of workers in the great
arms plant is put at a minimum of
80,000 and of these one-fourth are wo
men. In an article based on state
ments in the German press and print
ed in the New York Times, it was
pointed out that the total number of
employes in the Krupp works at Essen
on April 1, 1916, was 68,972, of whom
13,023 were women. Consequently,
while the number of male workers
there has increased about 4,000 during
the last year the number of their wo
men comrades has risen some 7,000.
When the war began there were only
I, women employed at Essen, com
pared with 36,880 men.
After having described the Krupp
concern as “a kingdom of work” in
time of peace which had become in
time of war “the greatest private un
dertaking of the country which renders
the most important service to Ger
many,” Herr Koster, as translated by
the London Times, continued:
“This private undertaking repre
sents today a labor army of at least
tvo corps—pieqed troops from Ger
man’s home army, admittedly superior
in quality to many armies of our
enemies and well proved in many vic
tories on water and on land. Krupp
today is half-nationalized, like every
large private undertaking. Under the
standaradizing pressure which weighs
upon economic life much that is indi
vidual has been lost, but much that is
universal has been gained, and this
tendency wll not cease after the war.
“The number of Krupp workmen and I
officials has grown mightily since the
autumn ofl 1914. In quality the work
ers and officials are necessarily differ
ent from what they once were. The
field army with its claims lias made o
big inroad on personnel, especially at
the beginning of the war. Today wo
men constitute one-fourth of the whole
personnel; a strong women's division
helps to maintain the largest German
private undertaking. The women work
in the offices and in the workshops,
many of them not far from the furn
aces. The managers express high ap-
preciation of their achievements—es
pecially in the workshops."—New York
Times.

BE CANNY.
Make you hoe this summer keep
your can opener busy next winter.
Can nothing that can be kept without
canning. Dry such vegetables as corn,
string beans, navy beans, mature lima
beans, okra, etc.
You can brag about your garden all
winter if you have your canned evi
dence on the dinner table.
Concentrate products, especially
soup mixtures, so that each container
will hold as much canned food and as
little water as possible.
Really there is nothing to canning
fruit and vegetables, except care clean
liness, fresh products, jars and heat.

KEEPING IN EYE
ON INIBCHISFS
WASHINGTON, D. C„ July 18.—
Government secret service agents are
keeping a close tab these days on
the whereabouts of known and sus
pected anarchists in the Unite
States. Recent happenings, both in
the East and the West, have indi
cated a spirit of unusual active
on the part of various anarchists
to spread their propaganda.
While there are known to be an
archists of one variety or another
in virtually every city of the United
States, particularly those having a
large foreign population, there are
certain cities which for years have
served as the chief American centers
for the “reds,” and it is in these
cities that agents of the goverment
are keeping a keen lookout for the
violent stripe of murder advocates.
A Very Difficult Task.
Keeping track of the anarcu.sts
has always been a difficult task,
chiefly because ot their lack of or
ganization. Investigation has proven
that there is no such thing as or
ganized anarchist i. The members
work either as individual ci in
small groups and seldom has it been
found that any real connection ex
ists between these groups. A can
vas of the cities where anarchism is
known to have a foothold shows that
there are bo evidences of other
than temporary or racial organi
zations.
Among the well known centers of
anarchism in the East are Baltimore,
Paterson, N. J„ Barre, Vt.. and Fitch-1
burg and Lynn, Mass. In Baltimore
the leaders are Italians; in Pater
son they are Hebrews; in Barre they
are mostly Italians; in Fitchburg
they are Finns; in Lynn they are
Greeks and Sicilians with some Ital
ians and ‘Jews. In each of these
cities anarchism is familiar and has
teen at one time or another danger
ous.
New York and Chcago, of course,
include; large groups of anarchists
in their population. The New Y irk
police have always managed to keep
the anarchists pretty well in check,
there have been several bomb out
rages in the metropolis in recent
years. In Chicago the flood tide of
anarchy was reached in the Hay
market massacre in 1886.
Interwoven With Socialism.
The story of anarchism is inex
tricably interwoven with the story
of socialism. Under the names of
socialistic or workmen’s societies
anarchists almost always disguise
their clubs, and foreigners who start
out to study socialist doctrine al
most invariably degenerate to an
archistic beliefs. The actual anar
chist is just about what the public
believes the socialist to be; the ac
tual socialist is mild in comparison;
while an anarchist who becomes ex
treme in effect breaks away from his
fellow anarchists and becomes an
individual desperado or an irrespon
sible agitator.
There are three kinds of anarch
ists, roughly speaking. First, there
Is the philosopher type, harmless
himself, but filled with the idea of
individualsm. He becomes dangerous
only when he begins to speak to his
fellows through his papers, or from
the lecture platform or from the pub
lic horseblock, and then, through his
intelligence and reasoning power,
applied, he incites other men to an
archy.
Those whom he incites make up
the second class, who might well be

called “mob anarchists.” They are
the ones that organize, and the ones
that stand out in public estimation
as men to be feared. As a matter of
fact, they are least dangerous. There
are as many cow-ards among them
as among the average groups of citi
zens; they are powerless, while their
clubs are too small to assert their
independence, they are too lazy to
work swiftly or secretly to evil pur
poses.
A Third Kind of Anarchist.
But from these groups there fre
quently springs up the third kind of
anarchist, dangerous and careless of
consequences. Inspired by the in
telligent speaker to a sense of mar
tyrdom and to a pitch of despera
tion, and supported by the feeling
that in the group to which he belongs
he has some support, he goes out
to kill and to be killed. He is not a
delegate to the convention of mur
derers, chosen by his fellows. He is
ex-officio representative, no no war
rant but his own convictions—-a free
lancer.
Os this type was Czolgosz, the a •
sassin of President McKin.ey. Os
this type also weie Selig Cohen, who
threw a bomb in Union Square, New
York, and Guiseppe Alio, who assas
sinated a Catholic priest at the altar
in a Denver Church.
It is easy to see that while inves
tigation may find a seeming quiet
among scattered organizations, there
is a very present danger, looming
larger with every anti-war parade
and socialist speech delivered on
some free American sand lot.
NEW METHOD USED TO
STOP AUTOMOBILE THIEVES
ATLANTA, Ga., July 18.—Officers
Wylie and Fortson, of the Atlanta po
lice force, have discovered a very effi
cient and speedy method of stopping
automobile thieves, provided they see
the thieves before the latter get away
with the automobile.
Standing on a corner in the heart of
Atlanta's well known “darktown” their
breath was taken away by the swirl
cf a big touring car whizzing past
them at. sixty miles an hour, more or
less. “Them niggers stole that car,”
said Fortson to Wylie. Presently the
car came back, runnink like the wind,
and Fortson jumped into the street
and waved for it to stop. The negro
Oliver came on as if there was noth
ing in the street but a clear signal, and
Wylie drew his revolver and punctur
ed both rear tires.
fl he negro fetched up in about thirty
feet, lost control of the car and jam
med it into a curb, then jumped out
and started to run, but a bullet fired
in close proximity to his feet convinced
I him that he’d better stop, which he
did

GREAT SUFFERING AMONG
SURVIVORS OF VESSELS
TORPEDOED BY GERMANS
LONDON, July 18.—Sufferings of the
survivors of vessels torpedoed by Ger
man submarines are graphically relat
ed in the official report of A. H. Black
man, chief officer of the Steamer Aln
wick Castle sunk some ti me ago. The
submarine, he stated, sped away with
out sinking any of the boats containg
the survivors. There were in the chief
officers boat thirty-one persons, includ
ing two women and a baby of a few
months. The storekeeper became in
sane and it was necessary to- tie his,
hands and feet to prevent him from
inujring the others. A cattleman made
four attempts to jump overboard and
finally succeeded. He was drowned.
The deck boy died in the boat..
“Although we had occasional show
ers,” he adds, “everything was so sat-1
urated with salt that the little rain we
caught was undrinkable. We tried lick
ing the oars, tillers and seats of the
boat but the continual salt spray com
ing over rendered this of little use.
FinaHy we broke up the water barrel
in order to lick the inside of the staves,
which we found saturated with mois
ture and, to us, delicious.”
When the survivors reached the
Spanish fishing village of Carino, two
members of the crew who had become
demented, refused to leave the boat
and it was necessary forcibly to drag
them out. One man expired as he was
taken from the life-boat.
‘•WILD MAN OF LAUDERDALE”
REPORTED TO AUTHORITIES
*
ATLANTA, Ga., July 18. —Weird sto
ries have been coming into Atlanta re
cently of a boy and a girl running
wild in the mountains near West
Lauderdale, Ala., and living like ani
mals with nothing but Nature’s garb,
like Adam and £ve in the garden.
Finally the stories became so persis
tent that they have commanded offi
cial attention, and at the request of
William Green, who lives in the neigh
borhood, the sheriff has organized a
hunt for the strange couple.
According to eye witnesses who
claim to have caught sight of them,
the boy and girl appear to be about
ten or twelve years of age, and are as
wild and shy as deer, running away
at the approach of other humans.
Various theories have been advanced
as to their strange behavior, one of
these being that the children’s parents
were killed in a mountain storm, and
that the children were frightened out
of their wits.
