The success of the recruiting Is alarming manufactures, who fear a labor famine. It is estimated that fully 3-00 skilled woxkmen from Philadelphia have gone England within the past few months, all ith guarantees of salaries of from $10 to $50 a week, for a full year, and with their passage furnished both ways. The bidding for skilled workers has created a stir among American manufacturers.
Wages have taken an upward turn in many factories where skilled men are employed, and efforts have been made to suppress the rumors of fat salary envelopes In British workshops. The recruiting has heen done by a representative of the Montreal office of the While Star line. This representative advertisem*nts iu the Philadelphia newspapers about two weeks ago, instructing mechanics applying for positions to write to the Montreal office of the steamship companies. About 500 letters were received by Philadelphia workmen, in reply to their applications, requesting them to meet "Mr. Wallace" at a Philadelphia hotel.
The applicants as fast as they were supplied with their passage and guarantees. Financial Situation Keflerting Prosperity. Washington, Aug. 4. The federal reserve reports business conditions good throughout the nation.

Geneva, Aug. 4, Essen dispatches eay the demands of the Krupp employes have been granted and a strike averted.
The Krupp managers were compelled by the Imerial authorities to meet the wishes of the skilled workers. Many employes quit and enlisted and were sent to the Russian frc-t. The making of war munitions has been resumed night and day with-three shifts. Brit fell Subject Comment! Cause to (iod Almighty. London, Aug.
4. British subjects throughout the empire have met in their churches on the anniversary of the war's opening and prayed for- its success. "Our cause we commend to the hands and judgment of the all wise Ruler of the Universe." British cabinet members and the Canadian premier addressed a London mass meeting attended by royalty. French and Russian messages ewre read expressing a determination to fight for victory. Secretary Balfour said the British agreed to supply only 160,000 troops.
The losses now are three times that. He predicted that history would not put the British army achievements on a par with the navy. The resolve to win is stronger than ever.

England is officially recruiting labor in New which is inferior in artillery and sliced is at so heavy a disadvantaso that victory Is possible only under exception-lily favorable circtim-staices. "The submarine has proved itself a thoroughly dangerous weapon to which unsuspected possibilities must le conceded. All methods of defense hitherto employed have failed to fulfill their purpose In requisite manner.
"Dirigibles and aeroplanes have not only demonstrated their value In scouting but also have been enjianed effectively upon the offensive.

'Mrs. Juliette Low, formerly of Savannah, known as the founder of the Girl Scouts In America, tells an interesting; story of the good work done in Knuland by the Girl Guides, a similar organization there. These London girls have aided in everything from harvesting to caring for people injured during the Zeppelin raids she says. The Girl Guiles know all about the hospitals and how to reach them. Mrs.
Low established the Girl ScouUi alona; the same lines in the. United States. She is a personal friend of Sir Baden Powell. Her aim is to affiliate her American organization with the Boy Scouts. Sim has given liberally from her purse to establish the Girl ScOnts iu many places.

How correct this slrntecv wm is pr.n id by tin hist twehe months Thanks to the effeetivencsjt of our submarine, which excited the admiration of the whole world, it has heen possible to sorely wound British fleet. In addition, our submarine arm has busted itself since the beginning of the year in an entirely unexpected way, as destroyer of common e. View may differ as to the final out that a nation like (ierinany, whose commerce has been driven from the sea hut which can subsist without imports, lias an extraordinary advantage over a country de-pentk'Ut almost entirely, like Britain, upon Importations of food and raw materials across the, water. The submarine danger unquestionably weiiiKs like a nigtmare upon the inhabitants of the sea-washed land. The fortune results of the wide extension, as we hope, of the fruitful activity of our submarinef cannot he predicted, hut the expectation Is generally i herislie din Germany that the submarine campaign will help to accelerate the demand for peace in Kngland.
"Kvery type of warship has fallen victim to (human submarines the battleships Formidable, Triumph and Majestic, the armored cruisers Hemic, Creswy and Aboukir, the Russian armored cruiser I'allaba. ths cruisers Hawka and Pathfinder and the itritish destroyer Kecruit, for exampleand neither the express steamer nor the slow fishing boat is safe from our deadly torpedoes. "in addition, the aerial arm ot the service lias won many hturels. Zeppelins crossed the North Sea safely, even to London and and Ger man aeroplanes participated in the destruction of (he enemies' war and merchant ships. The tjuewtion whether airships and aeroplanes could he used offensively at sea must, in the light of the achievements of our aircraft, he answered aifiniHtively "German aircraft have even fought successfully against the dreaded submarines.
A Russian submarine was destroyed in the Baltic by bombs from an aeroplane, and at least one British submarine met the same fate In the North ea. "The tseneral fear of submarined is responsible for the remarkable spectacle of heavily armed and strongly armored batileships rarely venturing to leave sheltering harbors-ships which before the war were i minted as decisive factors in sea power, but which find themselves condemned to inactive roles. Clashes of heavy battleships, like those in distant waters, have borne out the old rule that superiority In numbers, artillery and speed make up the decisive factor for victory. "The British were defeated off jCoronel, Chile, the Mon-hiiouth and -iooil Hope depended for jibe most part mi six-inch guns, while i the German cruisers Gneisenau and i arried many 3-inch fins The ibtory at the Falkland Islands was ea- for the British bat-Hie cruisets Invincible and Inflexible land their or. sorts because they mounted twelve-inch puns and also were much f.ter than the German ships.
