ALL WILL GET JOBS.
To Be No Slump in the Demand
for Labor.
Devastated Europe Wilt Look TO
United States to Help
Rebuild.

New York.-Jobs for all will be had
for the asking In the period of the
worlds reconstruction. There's to be
no slump in the demand fol. labor.
It has been estimated that no fewer
than 1O,O0O,U0O men have been killed
In Europe. ThesUnited States, which
has not lost $4,000 men, must make
good this huge labor loss. p
Devastated Europe wiNl-lSok to the
United States for help to rebuild. We
must finance this big job and supply
the materials and tools.
According to M. Tardieu, French
high commissioner, it will take two
years to get the French coal mines in
working order and ten years to put
them in prewar condition.. To recon-
struct private homes alone will re-
quire the work of 100000 men for 20
years.
Prof. Van den Ven of Louvain, now
in the United States, says the war
losses Of Belgium total approximately
00,O00.OO0. Before the drive more
than $4,000 buildings had been de-
stroyed. Practically all the important
factories have been robbed of their
machinery, and, in many cases, not
only the walls RACED but the very foun-
dations destroyed.
The machinery was shipped to Ger
many. Towns and villages have been
wrecked. Farms have been robbed Of
all live stock. Miles Of interurban
railroads have been torn up and
shipped to Germany.
The problem is first to keep alive
the population released by Germany ;
second, to reconstruct the industrial
machine so the people can make q
living.
England also will want food, manu-.
featured goods, raw material and ma.
chinery in great quantities.. So will
Italy and the Scandinavian countries.
George e. Roberts of the National
City bank maintains that the United
States will pass out of the war period
with more wealth than she possessed
before the conflict began. There has
been much scientific development of
industry, and agriculture has been
stimulated as never before.
There is no obstacle, he thinks,
to continuance Of business activity
except. the difficulty Of areadjusting
business to a peace basis. This obsta-
Gle is great but surmountable.

TAKE UP PEACE WORK
Great Britain Ready for Indus
trial Change-0ver.
Huge Munitions Plants Prepared for
Switch to Peace-Time
Operations.

London.-England has her plans all
laid for the great industrial change
over.
There are about 5000 large concerns
which have been engaged in munitions
work.
These factories have been prepar-
ing for months for the "quick change
and are ready to switch to peace-time
operations Immediately.
Munitions IS by no means the only
branch Of industry where sharp read
justments will be necessary. But the
same statement Of preparedness holds
true generally.
The ministry of reconstruction,
which has been operating for more
than a year, and which has made an
extensive survey of the industrial
problem, has aided manufacturers
who have been engaged on war work
in the preparations for the advent Of
peace. And it has worked out plans
for converting many government-op-
Grated plants into production of ma
terials which will be sorely needed.
To show how extensively the minis
try has worked, 20 subcommittee Of
experts have completely surveyed as
many parts Of the neighboring field
and have drawn up plans for the
change over, which have been placed
at the disposal of the industrial chiefs.
Decentralization plans have been
given careful study, and, while the Of
fetal report has not vet been issued,
it is known that it provides for dis
banding by the needs Of different
trades, and not by military units. Men
with large families will also be re-
leased early.
The ministry of reconstruction has
dwelt particularly on the possibility
of development Of Industries making
articles formerly imported from Ger
many-such as electrical apparatus,
hardware, stamped metal and tele-
phone apparatus.
And it is fatty stated that Britain
is going to make a lot more of these
things for herself after the war;

Unless more drastic measures are

nable demonstrations Of militant suf-

on forever. Many have been arrested
and jailed but turned loose again with

ly joined their virago companions and
continued to make as much noise and
create as much pandemonium as a
horde Of delegates at a Townley con-
vention. These women are a veritable

congressman and the police, but to the
peaceable citizens Of Washington.
Either to make them work or intern

remedy the evil.

Miracles of surgery" are the words
which Bishop Francis Of the Episcopal
diocese of Indiana used to describe the
work he witnessed in the hospitals of
France. "Men with great holes in their
abdomens," said the bishop, fare soon

been considered extremely grave, are
treated lightly by the wonderful sur
geons who are making over the men

1t seems that the atmosphere of St.
Paul is still permeated with noxious
gas. Probably it's origin could be
traced to decomposing sewer rats.
Then, again, it is possible that agents
of the kaiser are manufacturing this
sort of stuff and sending it across in
drums by means of submarines oper-
ating in the Mississippi. The acciden-
tai bursting of a, drum or two would
be sufficient to cause the impregnation
of the atmosphere. While we do not
seek to throw scare into St. Paul,
this matter appears to us of so serious
nature that we advise thorough in
vestigation before the city goes up in
smoke through spontaneous ignition.

Z The days Of the bolshevists' power

With the arrival of allied troops and
Japanese armies on the way to aid the
Czecho- Slovaks, the Trotsky- Lenine
regime, it seems, is about to fall.
Russian peasants are focking to the
Czechs in large number, but this is no
criterion, as these ignorant serfs in
variably go over to the side which ap-
pears to be for the moment victorious.
Were the various factions in Russia to
amalgamate there would be no neces-
sity for allied help so far as military
assistance is concerned the Russians
could with ease sweep the Germans
out. But the low-eaters are so
densely ignorant that an agreement
between them is evidently an impossi-
bility.

Delicately constructed instruments

Delicately constructed instruments

submarine chasers to locate their
prey. Through these "sea- listeners"
the motors of the undersea devil may
be heard and the chaser is thus guided
in dropping it's depth "pills." The in
struments referred to are responsible
for the fact that these pills are strik-

To prove that the disease known as
conscientious scruples" is durable we
need go no further than to relate the
story of a company Of Mennonite
draftees who were sent to the front in
France to engage in noncombatant
work. They had not been lodging
shrapnel and other missiles for over
an hour when they rushed to officers
quarters and begged to be permitted
to get into the real game where less
danger would surround them. The
placing of "scruplers" in positions
near the front is a treatment which
should be adhered to throughout the
war.

says that Prince Friedrich Leopold
