STA with an outlet to the sea, and parts
of Austria that Serbia will get Bosnia
and Herzegovina that Italy will re-
ceive the TrentinO. Trieste and most of
Dalmatia; that plebiscite may be
taken to determine the desires of the
Croats and SlOvenes that Ukrainia
may get part of Galicia; that England
Is to have Mesopotamia and France
VIII take Syria, and that Palestine
will become an Independent state.
Among the many difficult things to be
settled are the conflicting claims of
Italy, Serbia and Greece; the status
of the Arabs and of Armenia; the dis
position of Constantinople and the
coast of Asia Minor, and the reduction
of Bulgaria to the weakest of the
Balkan states.
1t is expected that the peace confer
ence will open In the latter part of
December, after the English parlia-
mentary elections, and already the
representatives of all the small ma
tionalities with grievances are gather
ing in Paris. Many of the questions, 1t
is understood, will be settled in adj
vance by the entente powers and the
United States.
Turkey is awaiting In dread the rep
aration demands of the allies. AL
ready the allied feet has passed
through the Dardanelles and dropped
anchor off Constantinople. The men
now in control In Turkey have accused
Talaat Pasha, former grand vizier;
Enver Pasha, former minister of war,
and Djemel Pasha, former minister Of
marine, of embezzlement and other
crimes, and those worthless have fed

Before the ink was dry on the armi-
Stice agreement America began turn
ing TO the problem of getting back to
peace footing Its solution will require
the best work of our wisest minds.
The rehabilitation of the immense
army will be gradual, and the men will
be returned to civil life in the order
of their Importance In peaceful pur-
suits and with proper regard TO the
ability of industries to absorb them
The National Association of Manufac-
turers gives assurance that every man
will find awaiting him the place he
left when he went into the service and
there is little doubt that there will be
work for all. Innumerable projects
that were suspended owing to the de-
mands of the war will be resumed at
once. and the demand for labor on
these public and private enterprises
will be enormous.
The department of war put sud-
den stop to the sending of drafted men
to the army camps and notified men
between the ages of thirty-twO and
fortysix to return their questionnaires

there for time. for the training and
possibly to replace some of those who
already have seen service in Europe.
As for the army on the other side, 1t
is likely to be there for good many
months yet, for there will be a big job
of policing to be done. The navy and
marines still are taking recruits. Their

The governments contracts for war
materials are not to be cancelled
abruptly, so the contractors will have
time for REIMBURSEMENT.
The people of America are being
kept awake to the fact that with the
near approach of peace their financial
responsibility due to the war has not
ceased. At the present time they are
called on to raise a huge War Work
fund to be expended by the seven Or
CARNATIONS whose work is by no means
ended. Then. early next year, there
probably will be fifth Liberty loan,

was raised in the past was spent be.
