 The war in Europe will have 8 similar effect. It is not war, it is revolution. The institutions of today are being subjected to an acid test that may operate slowly and invisibly to us, but it is never the less memorable. Those things that will be found wanting will be de- stroyed and the treo that bears no fruit will be cut down and cast into the burning. It is impossible to con- ceive social or industrial changes ol this nature taking place in Europe without similar changes being re- reflected in the United States, and when that happens, the troubles of Judge Gary will not be concerned with intensive competition or other wise, nor with the necessity for ar1hor plated tariffs or otherwise, but with the back of tho picture The glorious visions or the financial artist that has painted fanciful ina ginings of golden millions with all the weird extravaganza of 2 futurisl will be turned to the wall. It will bs the day of house cleaning and the people of this country will doubt less to the cOnsternation of Judge { To nd ho cfnn1 iT,u uUo11 os other industrial monarchs who view with apprehension even now the dis loyalty of their industrial subjects concern themselves with the cobwebs and the dangerous germs that lurK in the back of the frame.

 After the big war is over, there. fore, it is safe to conclude that in but few countries will tn, present industrial conditions remain. Ger tainly an accounting will be demand ed and reports from every country involved in the war shows that no scruples of perverted patriotism when the fight is over are going to prevent that.
 It is possible but not probable that during this social up-heaval the ulted States shall remain economi- cally intact. There is no reason to believe that in other countries which have been behind the United In many social conditions will advance in abolishing the evils of the system while the hings catalogued in the report of the Industrial Relations Commission, in welfare organization reviews and surveys will still re- main.
 Industrial serfdom Is positively m accomplished fact in the United States steel industry; so positive in fact that bosses and foremen, under lings of the industrial barons, as revealed in the conditions during the strike at MKees Rocks, have reverted to an introduction of the jus primae noctis. The disgraces of in slum and industrial cess pools will undoubtedly go, and possibly and very probably and un- also the necessary con comitant. humping big dividends that have so rejoiced the Garya.
