WASHINGTON, April 24. — (By
mail)—What changes the war will
make in the map of Europe cannot
be known at this early clay, although
it is conceded that they will be im
portant. A victory for the allies
would doubtless give Italy several of
the Austrian provinces on the north
of that country, and perhaps terri
tory on the southeast also.
The fate of Turkey, in Europe is
problematical, although it is the gen
eral opinion among public men in
this country that all the belligerents
will ultimately agree that Turkey
must surrender that present slight
hold she has on the European side
of the Dardanelles, and give Russia
an outlet to the Mediterranean. The
future boundaries of Poland are also
undetermined. Alsace and Lorraine
will perhaps again pass to France.
Great Britain, seemingly, does not
figure in any territorial aggrandize
ments in Europe. The future boun
daries of the Balkan countries is in
the lap of the gods.
It is in the map of Africa, accord- !
ing to general agreement, that will
undergo most violent changes as |
result of the war. Africa is now held
by many of the great nations, with

boundary lines that are unscientific
and irregular. A redistribution of the
territory of the allies is almost cer
tain to be made in order to bring about
greater homogenity. This reshifting
of boundaries, it is beleived, would
add greatly to the development of the
various colonies more particularly
those on the west coast.
That Germany can expect to regain
her African possessions is not prob
able. The most of these have been
conquered by British colonial troops,
and the overwhelming sentiment
among the British colonies is that
these possessions shall continue un
der the British flag.
Driven from France and Belgium,
as Germany seems likely to be, she
will have nothing to offer in exchange
for these African colonies except ter
ritory in the Balkans, which the Bal
kan nations themselves will probably
be permitted to dispose of under over
sight of the allies.
The British dream of an all-rail
route from Cairo to the Cape will be
realized in the absorption of German
East Africa, the conquest of which
has been completed by the forces of
the Union of South Africa. This un
ion has also taken possession of Ger
man Southwest Africa. If Great Bri
tain can affect a deal with Portugal
for Portuguese East Africa, the whole
southern part of the continent will
come to the control of the British.
It is said that Great Britain, in
the redistribution of Africa, will be
willing to give up her possessions on
the west coast in order to obtain su
premacy in the east and south. Bel
gium and Portugal will probably re
tain their hold on Central Africa and
perhaps increase their strength there.
The plans understood to have been
tentatively made do not provide for
the retention of Germany of a sin
gle foot of African territory.
FAMOUS NEVADA CAMP
LOYAL TO THE COLORS
TOXOPAH, Nev., May 1.—When
the people of this famous city decided
recently to hold a patriotic demonstra
tion to testify to their loyalty to the
administration and the upholding of
the president’s hands, the order was
sent out: “No vehicles or automobiles
will be admitted; high and low alike
will walk.” This was the keynote of
the demonstration, the tangible and
visible expression of the theme of
President Wilson’s memorable address
—democracy and the struggle for its
perpetuation.
Three thousand marchers were in
line. Judge walked shaulder with sa
loon keepers. Ministers and mechan
ics, lawyers and miners, merchants
and muckers waved aloft the Stars
and Stripes as the thousands paraded
through the streets of the city to the
inspiring quicksteps of three bands.
Maids and maters of Tonopah’s best
families thronged the sidewalks on
the line of march, and cheering with
them were the girls of the dance halls
and the lowliest workers in the min
ers’ boarding house.
EL PASO, Tex., May 1.—The pro
visional governor of the Mexican
state of Sonora has issued a decree
regulating labor. The regulations
while aiming to protect the work
men to the fullest, do not remove
him from his true status as employe
or otherwise interfere with discipline
In the final chapter of his decree
Governor de la Huerta tells the work
man the following duties are incum
bent upon them: To be at work on
time; to follow instructions efficiently;
to preserve a proper attitude in deal
ing with superiors; not to abandon or
to be absent from work without prev
ious notice to foremen; and not to vio
late any company regulations that do
not violate the decree.
As the new' constitution exacts,
the work day in the mines and al
lied departments is limited to eight
hours, and the night to seven hours,
except in night work where the
labor is continuous, when the mini
mum is eight hours, providing that
no man works more than two w'eeks
at night out of every six weeks.
Overtime is charged double. The
workers may dispense with his week
ly rest day in industries that run con
tinuously. Only trained men are al
lowed to undertake dangerous work,
or at least be in charge. No workman
can be employed in a mine w'ho is
deaf, dumb, blind or otherwise crip
pled or is under 14 years. When the
miners judge a place to be in danger,
the foreman must instantly have all
persons removed and the evil remed
ied.
As a protection against unfairness
or favoritsm, employers must be able
to show their reasons for the dis
charge of workmen or other arbitrary
acts.
Articles 12 and 14 of chapter 1
declare th^ entire equality of pay be
tween natives and foreigners of the
same rank. All superintendents,
foremen, company doctors and phar
macists of foreign nationality must
speak, read and write the Spanish
language. Foreigners in authority
must also treat their subordinates
with consideration and avoid giving
offense by word or deed—a rule that
the workers also must observe. Ar
ticle 14 favors the native Mexican
still further by declaring: “In all
classes of work, other things being
equal, preference shall be given to
natives.”
Strict requirements are laid down
for the medical and surgical serv
ice, which must be equal to all needs.
In the chapter dealing w-ith agri
culture, a minimum wage of $1.50
Mexican standard, i* set for all farm
laborers for eight hours in the day
or seven at night. When a man is
sent to work at a point further than
three miles from the bunk house, the
time consumed in going and coming
j must be counted into his workday.
Owners cultivating over 125 acres are
obliged to loan gratuitously to em
ployes garden spots, also giving them
the free use of beasts and implements
in their cultivation. If employing
more than ten families, a dispensary
must be maintained.
The eight-hour day pertains even
in commercial work, with a seven
hour night. Shops, offices and places
of amusement have the same guar
antees, including a weekly day of
rest.
SKAGWAY MAN IS
KILLED AT THE FRONT
WHITEHORSE, May 2.—According
| to late advices George Wallace, a for
mer employe of the Canadian Bank of
Commerce here was killed recently on
the western front. He was a messen
ger in the Skagway branch of the
above named institution some years
ago when the building it occupied was
wrecked by a lone robber in an at
| tempt to hold up the cashier. If our
memory serves the late Donald Ross
was also one of the employees of the
Skagway branch bank at the same
time.

Ml . ■ ■ ■ mill || ^l.Tlfl B |1 X 1 JTi as true as that the good citizen is the patriotic
—iW iis-r*** **»***•# citizen At the outset of the present war there
were 367 savings accounts to every 1,000 of population in Germany, 379 out of 1,000 in France, 342 out of 1,000 in the United Kingdom, but only 218
out of 1,000 in the United States. In other words, there were nearly twice as many savers, in a given number, among the people of these European
powers, as there were in the United States! No wonder they have been able to astonisli the United States by the way they have financed the more
than forty billion dollars already invested in the war. THEY WERE BETTER- SAVERS THAN WE. We can well learn from their example and
add more generally the splendid quality of thrift to our own undoubted spirit of patriotism. It is the privilege of this bank through its
facilities to be of practical assistance to all who are practicing thrift.
