Cyrus Thorpe and ten men of .he marine corps settled accounts with Dominican bandits who ambushed them at ford. After twenty min utes of "brisk fighting" there were twenty dead bandits on the ground. There were no casualties among the marines.
 A sharp lesson of that kind should have a salutary effect. Uncle Sam's international police" have a way of attending strictly to business which inspires respect among turbulent peo- pies, whether in Haiti, Central Amer ica, the Philippines, China or any other spot on the earth's surface where there is an outbreak of law lessness which imperils American citi- zens and American property
 Small wonder that the marines are the pride of the service. The Stars and Stripes would have been sub jected to many indignities in other days without them. z

 | Tie 53 miles to Chattanooga were made before noon Friday after an s3o start. About five miles of the road crossing into Georgia could not be worse and would be almost impassable in wet weather. But the balance of the road is very good and preferable to the long trip via Centre and Rome some forty miles longer.
 Out of Chattanooga the valley trip up to Knoxville crossing the new con- crete bridge and out towards Signal mountain is ideal. We logged along over beautiful roads. stopping for lunch on the roadside and for a lit- tie rest later in the afternoon and made the 129 miles to Knoxville for an o'clock supper, making about 19s miles during the day.
 A late start Saturday morning, lunch at Morristown and a visit to an eye specialist, consuming nearly two hours. brought us to Johnson City for a ' o'clock supper. after which we drove the s5 miles by moonlight to Bristol. The road from Greenville to Johnson City for about nine miles is rather bad, oth- erwise there are splendid roads from Chattanooga here. But in the nine miles of bad road we seemed to have met every surrey and buggy and two-horse carryall in that section of Tennessee. and some of the horses were fractious, necessitating many stops.
 Fifteen miles before reaching here last night, coming down a mountain road we observed the flaring headlights of great racing car making the noise of a demon coming up grade.

 From Birmingham here the most welcome and attractive sight is after one pounds and bounces over the rocks and gullies near Rising Pawn and Wauhatchie to suddenly land on the broad concrete road rounding a shelf of Lookout mountain viewing the Moccasin Bend of the Tennessee river and overlooking Chattanooga.
 Tho Chattanoogans have done great work in the roadway approaches to their city. It is so attractive upon the entering that one hesitates to go farther. It is indeed worth the 159 mile trip to Chattanooga to get the smooth riding and exquisite views of the last five miles.

Peace Will Bring
 New Problems

| WY hhNhshh peace comes w whether next year or the year lafter-it will find the United States Iunprepared for it. This, >at any rate, is the view that the Municipal Journal any many individual economists take of the situation.
 After the conflict is over the na- tion will suddenly find itself con- fronted with problems little less diff ficult than those of organizing for
 war; These problems will result from the disbanding of an army of five million men and the sudden stop Iping of munitions factories employing
 many more millions"
 A million or more clerks who are now engaged in war work, either as lighters or as civilians in depart
 mental positions, and thousands of men who gave up established mercan- tile activities-all, returning soldiers, industrial workmen thrown out of
 employment, and men whose business
 has vanished while they were serving with the colors-must be assisted in Istarting life over again.
 This question of reorganization should be receiving the attention of federal, state and city officials at the present time. The Municipal Journal in it's issue of June 22 urged city of fic;als to begin at once to prepare definite plans for public works which
 would give immediate employment to returning laborers.
 A large proportion of the army is
 made up of men of agricultural ex- perience, and those who desire to acquire farms of their own should be
 able to buy good land at low price and on easy terms.
 Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the
 Interior, proposes plan for providing soldiers of farming inclination with homes. It is for the government to purchase large tracts of the cut-oveT lands of the south and the northwest, ldivioe them into forty y-acre farms and sell these farms on long term pay ments. He has asked Congress for
 an appropriation to cover the expendi- ture for a comprehensive survey of such lands as are available.
 1 It is hoped there will be no delay | in this matter. The work of making ia preliminary survey, such as Secre- ltary Lane suggests, will take many lmonths-- probably year.
 The point to be stressed IS that whatever is to be done in the way oi preparation for peace should be done las speedily as possible. There will b< lemployment for every mechanic-fo,
 every skilled wage-earner-in the
 great work of rehabilitation. But ths
