RIDING THE BUMPS OF THE WAR NEWS
By JAMES II. COLLINS.

Do you ride all the bumps of the
war news from day to day. Many
good patriots do. Each morning
brings its passing changes in the war
situation; now gloom. in the form of n
setback on the western front, or fur
thcr disintegration in Russia, or ru-
mors of delay in our own war prep
arations Next morning, like as not,
there will be something of n hopeful
nature. such as the checking of the
Huns drive in Italy, or n raid by the
British or French. or good news here
at home.
To follow and feel all these glees
and glooms from day to day is human
and exciting.
But it involves much useless wear
and tear of the spirit.
There is another vicwpoint-that of
disregarding the daily shifts and
changes in the war situation, keeping
ones attention concentrated on the
long haul of war and the final result.
That haul is still long one. For
Germany is not beaten yet, but the
results are sure, because we have
right on our side, and also the largest
battalions. II you grow warm and
then cold, and alternate between en-
thusiasm and depression with the
daily news changes, you not only
waste your energy, but are likely to
fuctuate in your policy as n business
man and your determination as pa

triot. The good resolution to save
food, support Uncle Sam financially
and cheerfully. adjust your business
and habits to the war program. will
be stiffened on the morning that you
read about some Hun atrocity against
our own soldiers in France. But in a
week there may be news of different
character. which leads you to let down
a little, on the assumption that Ger
many has begun to crack and that
the war is about over.
II is good business, good patriot
ism, and good conservation to forget
most of the headlines in the morning
paper and concentrate strictly upon
the long, hard grind between today
and the final result That will save
your spirit, back up your resolution,
and enable you to do your utmost in
winning the war.
Moreover, it will enable you to get
out of the war, as n business man and
a patriot, the utmost benefit from war
adjustments. Those adjustments make
for wiser and more economical per
sonal habits, as well as business
grounded in sound economy.
Even should peace come tomorrow
you can never go back to the old heed
less, wasteful ways, either in busi-
ness or livelihood.
Don't ride the bumps of the war
newsl
Settle down in harness for the long,
grim haul that counts!

GEMS FROM THE CARPENTER. /"

We're in the war to winl
And labor is doing its part, despite
the camoutlage of its enemies.
This month the United States en-
ters upon its second year of the war.
Up to the present, Uncle Sam has
been merely buckling on his armor,
so to speak.
Thruout the past year American
workers have lent themselves Loyalty
to patriotic tasks.
And who dare say the men and
women of organized labor did not live
up to patriotic expectations

much, perhaps, as patriotism itself, is
being evidenced in this present war
time as never before in the history Of

One Of the first evidences Of the game
ness of the American people was when
they practically to man endorsed the
declaration of war which threw a
peace-loying country from the fat lux
ury of neutral protiteering into actual
war conditions.
This gameness was further indicated
when congress passed and the people
accepted unanimously excepting only
the more radical anti-American elements
and German sympathizersD the seective
Conscription act-such an act as Aus.
tralia refused and Canada almost de.
feated.

A Budapest telegram to the Frankfurt
ter Zeitung COct. y shows that the Hun
garians are still distrustful of the
much-discussed economic union Of the
central powers.
The hungarian Manufacturers asso-
citation declares that any such union
must be absolutely conditional upon
Hungarys preserving unrestricted her
economic independence, While the eX-
istence of her national industries must
be in no way endangered, as only the
development of these industries after
the war can bring about an improve
ment in the financial situation and make
good the economic damage caused by
the war. The association further in
ssts that the negotiations now pro-
ceeding between the Hungarian ami
German governments should be only OF
an Informative character, and no den.
mite or binding agreements should be
entered into as long as the economic
results of the conclusion Of peace can
not be known.
