AFTER-WAR TOURISTS

Ga Petite Gironde. Bordeaux)
Millions of Americans will come to
Europe and will bring with them mill
lions of dollars with the intention of
leaving millions behind them. It will
be like an overwhelming wave at
first, followed by many other subse-
quent waves. Certainly most Amer
leans will not leave Europe without
visiting other parts of France, but,
first of all, they will be anxious to
visit those parts which will have been
visited by the war.
That is why it is to your interest to
leave mute witnesses of, war to stand.
Tourists who return to their own
country will talk of wi hat they have
seen, but stones and earth, must first
talk to them. Certain things must
be kept in the state in which they
were during the war, such, for in
stance. as trenches on the User, on
the Somme, and at Verdun, the quar-
ries of Soissons*** and there must
also be kept standing. for a GER
tain time, at least, two or more vii
lagos or towns ruined by the war, and
especially a few monuments, city halls
and cathedralS.

NEW FIGHT FOR sTILWELL
Efforts to Have. Him Released
From Prison Are Resumed.

Albany, Jan. "A new attempt to
get. the release from Comstock prls-
on of former State Senator Stephen
j. 5StilweH of The Bronx, convicted
four years ago of having asked a
bribe to influence his action as
member of the Legislature, will be
made Wednesday before the Parole
Board.
Stilwell was sentenced to from four
to eight years. The minimum sen
tence will expire on May % next. He
spent his first year in Jail in Sing
Sing and was then transferred to
Comstock where he has become an
expert farmer. If released by the
Parole Board he plans to take up
farming in western New York.
He was convicted of trying to OBJ
tain $500 from George H. Kendall,
president Of the New York Bank Note
Company to pass legislation forbid
Z ding the Stock Exchange to decline
to list stocks for which the COM
pany's paper was used. Gov. Sulzer
made the charges against Stilwell.
The Senate, after a long hearing,
whitewashed their associate. where
upon District. Attorney Whitman, up
on direction of Sulzer, arrested Still
we'll and brought him to trial. Many
efforts have been made to secure
Stilwell's release in a number of ways.

Old Pals, at That,
= Cat and a Rat
! Do a Rat ta- tat

New York, Jan. Policeman Mar
tin Lautermilch, of Bayonne. N. j.,
who has gained reputation for So
briefly and truthfulness, deci>red yes
terday that the police cat which he
had set to capture rat in the kitchen
at police headquarters, not only failed
to perform her duty but aided the ro-
dent to escape.
For several nights Lautermilch had
been disturbed by the~rat. He plac-
ed a. piece of cheese on the floor, put
the cat near it and turning off the gas
awaited Developments with his night
stick in one hand and his fashhght
in the other. Before long he heard
the rat nibbling thercheese, and when
he turned on his fiashHght he saw the
cat within six inches of the rat, calm
ly watching it eat =.
After the, meal the cat joined the
rat In some frolIicking, which ceased
when the policeman lunged forward
to hit the rat. He says the cat &C
tually picked the rat up by the neck,
just as she. would kitten, and ran
over to the rat. hole and showed the
rodent through 1t.
saThere's going to be a new police
cat here, and one which isn't on in
innate terms with rats" said Lauterz
mich.

AFTER THE WAR.
philadelphia Public Ledger

philadelphia Public Ledger)
The lesson is plain, distinct and
easily read Our prosperity came as a
sequel to war and not as a result of
legislation at Washington. Our labor
is highly paid because European labor
is bleeding to death. Our agricultural
and manufactured supplies command
a high price for the reason that de-
etruct1ve war is eating up supplies of
every kind faster than Europe can
furnish them at home. American pro-
ducers of all kinds profit by the war,
while American consumers of every
kind lose by the war; since they are
obliged to bid high for their country's
output OF necessities in order to keep
them away from Europe. Thus the
war helps the pocket of the producer
and bieeds that of the consumer. Just
as certainly the end of war will profit
the consumer, but hurt the producer.
