After the DemobilizaliOn Of the Army.

There are more than four mil
hons in the armies and navles of
the country and their demobliza'
ton is a matter Of much lntrica-
cy. At the end of our Civil War
there we're many who predicted
that the returning soldiers would
form d menace to the Nation. No
such demobllzation had ever TAX
en- place, and it was feared by
timorous souls that there would
be a military control of the coun'
try. AS a fact, all the million
soldiers of the Union armies were
only too glad to get home and the
bounding West offered opportu'
mites which were quickly seized.
Conditions are somewhat DIFF
ferent now, but aside from the
longer time which will be neces-
sary there Is no reason to ap-
prehend any great change from
1865 Our boys were willing to
go, but they are quite as ready to
come home now that their work
Is done. Save a few thousands
who have offered up themselves
a willing sacrifice on the altar Of
freedom, all will return with new
aspirations and with a much larg-
er outlook on hte. They have
learned the essential meaning of
the words "you must" which Is
the foundation of all good char
acter.
With the closing or slowing
down OF many war industries
there will be necessary shift OF
industrial work, but this country
has for two years been short OF
many essentials in domestic
trade which can now be given in
plenty and with little reduction
Of actual labor. Those who fear
that changes will come so rapid
ly as to promote revolutionary
ideas should remember that our
great task in this war Is not yet
com pleted. 1t IS more than
probable that we shall keep a
million men In Europe for more
than a year. This, with the re-
sumption of normal manufactur-
ing, ought to act as a sort OF
brake to stabilize industries and
make the new organization the
more easily effected.
Our boys are coming homs
eventually for constructive work.
They ave better Americans than
ever. That so ,ms to be o suh
