ON the border on in camp, will, for
business reasons, be permitted to re-

ANSWER OF DEPARTMENT
Outlining the attitude of the department
and sealing the fate of many who desire
to resume their business life, the adju-
tant general writes in part
ut Is needless to say, of course, that
the war department appreciates the fact
that the call of the militia regiments
of the several states for military service
has presented many cases of hardship
and distress. A large number of men
taken from professional and business DC
equations, members of regiments on the
border and elsewhere, are applying for
discharge, either personally or through
friends, to enable them to resume their
civil positions Many Of these men re-
sponded to the call from patriotic mo-
tives, and did so at a great personal
sacrifice. The department is not unmind-
full of the imperative necessity that
prompts many of these applications, and
while it is recognized that the retention

After The War, What?

The Cincinnati Enquirer, an Inde-
pendent paper with Democratic lean
ing, and which usually supports the
the Democratic party, says of the in
duStrial outlook after the close of the
European War:
Democrats and Republicans alike
realize that when the disbanded ar
mics return to their homes, and the
returned soldiers seek employment at
their former vocationS, the mills the
shops, the factories of Europe will be
offered labor at low prices and that
every wheel and every loom and ev-
cry forge and everyfurnace will be
put to work using that low priced Ia
Dor, and that its outputs will be
pressed for sale in our markets az.
well as the markets of every other
country on the face of the earth.
British and French, German and
Russian, Austrian and japanese, Bel
gian and Turkish industries will be
supplied with millions of men who.
have for years endured hardship, and
privations upon daily pay that would
not provide an average American
family with bread alone, and these
millions must work, and will work
at starvation wages. and the markets
of other nations will be Swamped by
their cheaply produced produced and
cheaply sold outputs.
Society in the United States may
favor an eight hour day, as President
Wilson says, and every person in this
country would be delighted if our
workers could all afford to work but
eight hours or five hours or three
hours and make profits over and
above expenses on their work at those
hours. But how about it when So
ciety in foreign lands competes with
our outputs through its outputs Of
workers on one-third wages admirab-
ly organized and very efficient work =
ing 10, IL and even IA hours per
day in reign countries3 What
chances for keeping our trade in for
eign markets under these circum-
What prospect of keeping
our own markets from being swamped
save by higher customs dutiesl
1t will take all the energy, all the
knowledge, all the wisdom Of our
business men after the close of this
European war to prevent disaster TO
our manufactures in many lines, and
to prevent shutdowns and lockoutS
in our industrial districts.
Ii the Interests of the United States
are not made the paramount interest
by the government of the United States
if theories do not give place to
thoroughly practical ideas and meth
ods, if staIwart Americanism does
not succeed to idiosyncracies in our
foreign relations, it will not be a
question of eight hours work in our !
mills and shops and mines and fac
tories, but a question Of shutdowns
and no work at all.
