WHAT WILL HAPPEN
 WHEN WAR IS OVER
Local Manufacturers Hear Of Need X ...
 Of Conservation

Industrial Conservation" was a theme which interested a number of local manufacturers who gathered in : the rooms of the Chamber of Com merce last evening to listen to Ellls L.. Towards exposition of the subject. MT. Howard is identified with the na- tiona1 conservation movement and proved by his address that he is fa- miliar with the subject and it's many details. Secretary A. N. Andrews, in the absence of President G. M. Lan- ders presided and introduced the speaker. The address follows:
 >~> An Alarmist and Optimist.
 'If it be possible for one to be an alarmist and an optimist at one and the same time, such am I in appear ing before you tonight. He would in deed be blind who did not recognize that America faces an opportunity such as has been presented to no other nation; yet he would be both blind and insane who did not face that opportunity with a frank look into it's perils as well as it's promise
 'The Industrial Conservation Move ment' is preparedness In @ specialized field; a recognition of the suicidal pol icy of going into battle with insub- ordinate troops; with dissension , among our generals and with a lack of cohesive policy and definite pur- pose. America is today the most prosperous nation on earth; the only one of first rank whose industrial euuipment of peace Is not disorganized and rent by the things of war; the one to which all eyes will turn in the tremendous task of rebuilding the ruin of Europe.
 '"The reconstruction will mean ac- :. tivity for every factory and business enterprise in this country but 1t will also mean that in seizing the oppor- tunity, American business men will be obliged to face an industrial com petition, the bitterness and despera- ton of which has never before been known. Two short years ago, Ger many was the marvel of the world in her ingenuity, her efficiency and her aggressive invasion of the world mar kets The awful struggle has turned back the wheels but it is inconceiv- able that she will spare an ounce of energy when she starts to regain her foreign trade. The other belligerent nations are today largely dependent on America and have been the in- struments of our sudden expansion, but it is to be supposed they will not fight desperately to reclaim their own when the fighting is over?
 How Are We Prepared?
 "Of one thing we are certain, thai competition is to be severe and des- perate and America especially Amer ican industry occupies the very ceni ter of the maelstrom. And how are we prepared? Can we boast reassur' ing measure of German efficiency

MONROE DOCTRINE HELP
TO SMALL NEIGHBORS

OntS.
My guess is that the Monroe
doctrine will ultimately work
out the same way. AS years &c
on, we shall interfere less and less
with those great big brothers far
away In South America, such as
Argentina, Brazil and Chile.
On the other hand, from now
on we shall give more and more
attention to our smaller brothers
near home. such as Panama,
Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Hondur-
as, Salvador and Guatemala.
My study of the Monroe doc
trine leads me to believe that
henceforth we shall take a much
greater interest in those coun-
tries between us and the Panama
canal.
There are many reasons for
this-military, commercial and
political. The chief reason is that
the golden rule is fast becoming
recognized as the best rule.
We are learning to do unto
other nations as we would like
other nations to do unto us.
We are finding out that this
is the only way to avoid war
Hence the big nations like Argen-
tina, who want to be let alone,
we shall let alone, while the small
like the Central Am Fri
can republics, who want our help,
we shall help.

8. Jurey In the superior court
this morning.
He held that all right OF Judge
Evans to office terminated on
May Is, when the mayor dis

been conducting court since that
time.
Since the mayor has the ap-

Judge Jurey held, he has the full
power to GUST the police judge at
any time without cause.
