as well as tho actual earning capacities
of metal workers In this city and in Eng

"There need be absolutely no fear that
Europe will cause a shortage of skilled
workmon In this city because of the de
mand for skilled labor," he said.
"The wages and earnings of machinist
and toolmakers of this city double those
of England. Thirty dollars a week, to
day, is the highest Inducement offered
to this city's most skilled metal workers

lon Steamship Line. That, presumably,
reoresents the maximum amount- that
can bo earned In England, Including tho
regular wage of 19 cents an hour, the
overtime premiums and the Government
bonus promised to skilled workmen. I
know men In tho shipyards of this city
who are earntng $60 a week. There aro
u few cases of men earning $9 and J10

for skilled labor created by tho war, the

herself together In marvelous fashion, and her army today la the best In
tho world. Her losses, nobly born, amount, I believe,, to. nearly a million and
a half killed, wounded and missing. r
Of the efforts of littlo Belgium I need not spealt to Americans. Tho valor
of the email Belgian army is only equaled by tho magnificent generosity of
tho American people who are enabling tho Belgians to "exist. Italy, Servla,
tiny Montenegro, aro all entitled to great praise.
ENGLAND'S NAVAL ROLE WELL PLAYED.
Of our own part In the war It Is a little invidious for an Englishman to
epeak, but there has not. I think, been duo recognition in the United States
,nfl rnnada of the fact that our fleet has swept tho Germans from tho seas
and holds billions of dollars' worth of German shipping In bondage.

Tho English, Scotch, Welsh, Irish. Canadian. Australian, South African and
Indian soldiers, and tho large number of Americans who havo joined our forces

If any one who reads these lines remembers my previous communication

?ftlier startled at sight of a reporter.
However, recovering, they said:
HILLES-"We have every expecta

satisfied with the Democratic Admin
istratlon, getting more so every day.
and Is ready to return to the Repub

all parts of the country Ind oatw
this. So does every election that a

McCombs-Unless there Is some
decided change In the situation It wilt
not be necessary for either party to
establish headquarters next year. The
result Is a foregone conclusion, a

natty Is enjoying an unexampled pre-
eminence that Is not likely to be lost
for many years.
