WHEN THE WAR CLOSES, WHAT?

<1ooulIAAl6 CAlO VAC wal III 0NAOPN
will run it's course and finally cease
from exhaustion, and that our country
will escape involvment in it, what
then?
The foreign ships will again ply
unrestricted between those countries
and ours. Europe will be loaded down
with millions of people pauperized by
the war and for bare expenses those
ships will transport those poor peo-
pie to any country they may desire
to go to-. 1t is inevitable that the
great bulk of them will desire to come
to our shores.
We have been receiving and assim-
Hating nearly 1000. 900 per annum of
Europe's poor for the past twenty
years. What can be done with the
added host? 1t will be one of the
most serious questions that our re-
public can be confronted with.
They will come embittered, ran
corous; tens of thousands Of them
with the idea that in this land of Ii
berty they can do as they please;
the half servitude of the old world
removed, and all their lives having
respected nothing but force; what will
be their effect when turned loose up
on us?
The first result will be to reduce
the price of labor. When that comes
what will our own laboring men do?
With the cost of living their present
wages are in a hundred fields too low;
when the cost shall be advanced and
the rates of wage reduced, what will
follow? Our day of trial will come
then.
One would think the men in con
troll of our government would be
thinking of these things and would
be planning to divert at least a part
of this sinister flood to other shores.
There is plenty of rich and vacant
land to the south Of us upon which
such products can be raised Is the
world wants. If the flood could be
turned upon those lands and help
given the poor men and women to
make a start, that would be cheaper
than to try to assimilate them among
our own people.
There is a vast area between the
mouth of the Rio Grande and Pata-
gonia that would be the better for
their work. Cannot at least a part
of the host be diverted away from
our country?
Has Mr.. Bryan anticipated this and
counseled with the ministers from
those countries to see what can be
done? Great Britain ca ndispoSe of
her surplus in her own colonies. There
is room in Canada, Australia and At
RIGA for all her surplus, but ON the
continent it is different.
1t may be said the fear is unne-
cessary; that all that will be left
will be needed to fill the places of
those who have died in the war.
Alas, among those who have died
are thousands and hundreds of thous-
ands who planned the work of and
paid the millions for their labor

WINTER AN ALLY
FOR THE ENTENTE
IN DARDANELLES

London, Dec. 13.-Winter in the Darda-
nelles is proving to be severe test Tor
the Australians and the Turks alike.
.Reuter's correspondent at this front re-
ports that the first blizzard of early De-
cember found the Turks entirely unpre-
pared. 1t was necessary for them 70
evacuate several positions as the trench
es were flooded.
The bodies of several Turkish soldiers.
as we'll as a number of dead mules, were
washed down into the allied trenches
Prisoners taken by the Australians were
poorly clad and, the correspondent says
reported that the Turkish troops were
on half rations, pending an Improvement
in their communications.
The colonial troops, including the Mao
ris from New Zealand, withstood the
cold, although many of them had never
seen snow before. The British authori-
ties believe that owing to their hardy
physique and excellent equipment the CO.
lonials will get through the winter IN
satisfactory condition.
Turkish activities recently have been
comparatively unimportant. Such at
lacks as have been made have not beer
pushed. Severe weather is expected
through January and February.

FORMER SECRETARY OF LAB0R'S
NATIONAL PEACE COUNCIL TURNS
OVER RECORDS OF ACTIVITIES
1T Is Stated That Sraube's Evden ubsanates the Case
Against These Conspir ators in Every Detail

New York, Dec. 13.-The records OF the
activities of Labor's National Peace
Council, the organization through which,
according to United States Attorney
Marshal, Franz Won Rintelen carried on
his conspiracy to instigate strikes in mu-
nitions factories, were turned over today
to Mr.. Marshall by L. +. Straube, former
secretary to the council.
This evidence consists of speeches,
notes, the bylaws of the council and a
mass of other material which, it was de-
clared at the federal building, supplies
important evidence for the prosecution.
One of the officials in charge of the
prosecution stated that Straubes evil
dence "substantiates the case against
these conspirators in every detail
Straube came voluntarily from Chica-
go to give his evidence to Mr.. Marshall.
He will appear later in the week before
the grand jury when it reconvenes.
Straube's information confirms, it was
stated, the theory of the government that
the peace council was dominated by an
inner ring Of five men. all agents OF Won
Rintelen Many other members of the
organization were sincere peace advo-
Gates who did not realize what was going
on in the inner circles.
The officers Of the council were Con-
president; II. Robert Fowler. former
congressman from Illinois, general coun-
sci: Henry Martin. president of the Anti
Trust League. treasurer and Herman
Schulteis, director.

1t was also learned today that Mr..
Marshall has in his possession the docu-
ments which were seized by the British
government when Won Rintelen was taken
prisoner at Falmouth. Many Of these
documents are the originals. others are
duplicates, the originals having been re-
tanned by the British authorities.
These documents will play an impor-
tant part in the governments ease. AS
