AFTER THE WAR-WHAT?

What is going to happen in Flu rope after the war?' is one of the questions often asked on the streets. The war has shown America that she is closely united to Europe. Ev- cry shock in the older country pro- duces a profound and farreaching result in this country. It is natural. therefore, for Americans to feel that whatever it may be that does occur there, America is sure to be influ- enCed by it. One of the results of broke away from England. was the French revolution. Then the means of intercourse between the nations was very inadequate. Thus any ideas given the foreground by the great war are sure to find reflex in the life of America.
 Before the war began the economic pressure was bringing forth in Flu rope a whole train of revolutionary thoughts. The growth of Socialism in the nations now at war was one of the greatest signs of the political unrest It did not stop the war. for it was too new to stand before the wave of patriotism that swept over the nations. That intense love of country had been instilled into the hearts of the people for centuries. while the ideas suggested by the So- cialists were new. In time of stress and danger the great mass of peo- pie therefore followed the teaching first implanted in their hearts.
 But those ideas are not forgotten, and, as a writer in the Atlantic Monthly points out. they will come all the more forcibly to the fore ground when the exaltation due to the excitement of the war is over. In time of war the masses are so keyed up that the nations whole mind. as it were, is centered on those spots where the great armies struggle.
 When at last the war Is over and the terms of peace become known the awakening will come. 1t Is not likely that any nation will come out of this war with any ma terial addition to her territories; therefore the rulers will not, except for a short time, be able to claim a great victory.
 The people will then ask Ques- tions. What has been the use of all this horror and bloodshed? It is bound to come. It is unthinka ble that the masses should pick up the great burden of taxes that they will have to bear and carry the same si- lently and humbly. That might have been possible in the middle ages, but with the great enlighten- ment that has been taking place. even in Russia, 1t is an impossible conclusion.

THE FACTS.

The fiscal year closed on June 30, 1916, with the treasury in a very strong and gratifying condition, reflecting the great and unprecedent- ed prosperity of the country.
 Subject to revision upon analysis of complete returns. the reports show that the balance in the general fund at the close of business was $236,S79 ,59090, including amounts to the credit of disbursing officers and outstanding treasury warrants. With $174,965, ,23197, the greatest balance in the general fund of the govern ment since 1908.
 The surplus of all receipts over expenditures for the year amounted to $78,737,S10.11, as compared with deficit of $59,436,5S0.15 for the fiscal year 1915
 The surplus of ordinary receipts over disbursements, (eXclusive of Panama Canal and public debt trans actions) was $61,112,8 as com pared with a deficit of $42,867, ,797. 59 the previous year.
 Income tax receipts reached the great total of SPA, 1867 7,43O28, as com pared with $79,82S,675.27 for the pre- vious year. This amount included i $56,9O9,94 from corporations and $67,957, ,488.50 from individuals, ex- ] ceeding all estimates of collections | for the year.
 1 Customs receipts for the year amounted to $211,866,22234, as com pared with $2O9,268, ,10743 the previ- ous year, and exceeding the esti- mate by more than $16,000,00G.
 Receipts from Internal Revenue were unprecedented and remarkable, reaching the enormous total of $512,- ] 740,7695S, and exceeding all previous estimates by many millions Ordi- nary Internal Revenue receipts am ounted to $3S7, ,S73,3393O, and, ex- i cluding the emergency revenue from this amount these receipts were ap- proximately $304 100000, or $32,000.- 900 greater than had been estimated.

Moreover. the very army itself the rulers of the nations a very diff ficult question. The soldiers life IS one of Responsibility. All the ne ces.ities of life are provided for him. of course, he faces terrible danger, but it is soon over. In the trenches city and country have met on equal terms. The things talked over in the trenches become part of the soldiers after life.
 In this way the life of the soldier has been an education Moreover the old insular feeling, due 10 the fact that people live in a little cor ner by themselves which makes them suspicious of every stranger or | strange idea will in part. at least, pass away. The Northern soldiers | gained a broader and more liberal | feeling toward the South as one re | suit of the Civil War. The pea sants will take to their farms the | ideas of the cities. It is in the cities that anarchism. socialism and other violent revolutionary thoughts | have arisen.
 When these various sources of | discontent are considered in cOnnec- tion with the economic pressure that | inevitably will follow in the train of the war, it becomes evident that the masses will not permit the pres ent conditions to continue. Just what changes they will demand can not be surmised The Revolution | in France followed the long wars of Louis XIV and XVI The leaders of that revolt were the followers of | Voltaire and Rosseau and the earlier l leaders, such as Mirabeau, attempt ed to carry out the political ideas l of Montesquieu; yet it ended in the terrors of Robespierre. It Is not a question of whether that political idea is the best in | the world or the worst The states 
 men of Europe are to have stormy sea It depends to a large extent on how well they tack whether they keep the ship sailing or not. But storm they will certainly have to meet, and 1t will be such a one that they will not have any harbor in which to hide
 1 In any case, there is bound to be a more radical force in power in Europe That such an influence, dominant in Europe, would rapidly become a factor in American politi- cal life is an inescap pable conclusion. Another example of the spread of revolutionary ideas may be found in the dissemination of the princi- 1 ples of the French reyolutionists throughout Europe
 Thus it is easy to go on and show how the radical ideas, good or bad, when they predominate in one country, are bound to influence the other nations of the globe.

ment of the American people. On the other hand. he frankly told the railroad owners that they had right to operate their roads at profit He suggested that the eight hour day should go into effect i'm mediately; that the Interstate Com merce commission or some other au- thority should be granted the power to arbtrate the other differences. and that the Interstate Commerce commission should be authorized to take into account the extra cost to railroads that would result from the eight-hoUr day and such overtime compensation as arbtrators might decide to be fair and equitable The workingmen accepted this suggested solution of the difficulties. The rail road officers, after much hesitation, declined, and suggested in turn that the eighthour day should not go into effect until the other matters under discussion were settled-in other words, that the whole settle ment should be made at the same | time The workingmen refused to accept this proposition and ordered the walk Out to take place Septem- | Der i The railroad companies or 1 dered traffic embargoes, and began preparations for the suspension of train operations within less than week

THE STREET EXPENSE.

The city council has certainly se- cured full value out of the money invested in the construction of the streets. Because of their vigilance and industry, the city is becoming more like the cities Outside. The residents are to be praised for the way in which they have supplement- ed the work of the council. The only thing lacking at the present time is more work on Front street, so that the mud hole of a few weeks ago will not blot the fine record that the council has made.
 REMEMBER that winter is close at hand and look out for that wood pile.
 MATTERS on the west front lock
 TT SEEMS that, after holding coats for so long a time, Greece ought to have sense enough to keep hers on.
 THAT the Alaska has started on her last trip and that she is to be the last ship to leave Fairbanks for the Outside reminds uS that winter is to be with us soon.

to go to war over Bosnia as a FIRST

subjects unexpectedly raised by Arthur
Ponsonby, Liberal member for Stirling,
Scotland, in a strong address attacking
the government for allowing diplomatic
etiquette to stand in the way Of pos
sible peace pourparlers Sir Edward
Grey, the British Foreign Secretary,
set aside all ideas that peace negotia-
tions were possible at the present
stage and plainly reiterated that the
position of the Allies was in no way
changed.
Sir Edward declared that IT was i'm
possible to consider terms of peace
without a previous agreement between
the Entente Allies. Further he eX-
pressed the decided opinion that the
hostilities had not reached a stage
where 1t was possible to talk of peace,
