The Democrats are trying hard
to Great the impression that the war
is the ssue in the approaching cleo
tions and that in some unexplained
way It would be an act of disloyalty
to vote against the presidents party
candidates. The war Is not in any
sence an issue, and never has been
from the moment the United States
entered the conflict. The president,
to be sure, went back into power on
q "he-kept-us-out-Of-w argument.
but even that has been forgotten
since we became a belligerent.
No self-respecting Democrat would
undertake to tell an audience of in
telligent voters that the winning OF
the wari in any wise involved in
the result of the November contests.
He and they know that Democrats
and Republicans are united in the
effort at bringing early and complete
success to the allied cause. The Re-
publicans in congress and out have
worked loyalty to support the admin
'istration in its war program. The
war will be won regardless of which
party Is in control.
The issue In the campaign Is not
the winning of the war--that is q
point on which there is no difference
of 0pinion-but the rehabilitation
OF the nation after the war. At pre-,
sent the United States is involved in
the greatest money-spending orgy in
the history Of the world, The sit
uation is accepted as inevitable, un-
der existing conditions, but it cannot
continue indefinitely. There must be
an end to borrowing and the spread
ing the treasure broadcast. The ma
ton must get back to normal, and
that return era will be one, of etheI
most trying. in the history of the
s55,s Al. 3&
The present prospect is that, even
with an early termination of the war,
we shall come out of the stauggle
with public dept in excess of $780,
BOO, 100000. That will mean an
annual interest charge of $1,000
100000 or more, besides money that |
must be provided for the amortiza-
ion of the debt. The total of con-
sressional appropriations for 1915, ]
he year before the war, was only /
'678,677,858.70, and that was higher !
han the average in the ten years
previous. The normal after-war, ap-
exclusive of interest
nd debt items, will be, of necessity
much higher than in other years to
axe care Of development resulting
rom the war.
The people of the country must ex-
ect, under most favorable conditions

lent after the war at least three

MADE MARCHING MEN SMILE
Appeal of Groups of Partisan Midi
nettes Got Desired Results From
Passing British Soldiers.

The Paris Figaro recounts the fol-
lowing picturesque episode at a review
recently, which admirably expressed
the enthusiastic admiration of the
Partisan crowd for the British SOL
diers. The latter marched past, stern
and impassive. Groups Of midinettcs
observed that the soldiers were not
smiling. "Smile, please, SMILE" they
cried in French. The men did not
falter, but continued to march, grave
and meditative, because they did not
understand. "Cry Smile to them," n
linguist in the crowd suggested,
whereupon the group of midlnettes
cried in English, "Smile, please,
SMILE" And then the British smiled,
to the great delight of the girls.
L'Oeuvre writes: 1--WE may say with
out hesitation, because we know we
shall be understood by our incompar-
able Polius, that it was the British
troops, and especially the Scotch, who

HEADQUARTERS IN CHICAGO
After Formation OF Unions, RecognI-
tion and Wage Increases VIII Be
Asked--other News of Interest
In the Labor World.

Organization of workers in the steel
companies in and near Chicago has
begun following a conference Of off.
cials of the Chicago Federation of La.
Dor.
{ The action follows a proposal made
to the American Federation of Labor
several months ago that the steel
workers of the country be organized
as the stockyards employees were.
Headquarters will be established in
Chicago. When enough men have been
recruited to form a union demands for
recognition and wage increases will
be made, it Is planned. If these are
not granted federal intervention will
be asked. A series of wage increases,
generally at 10 per cent at time, has
already been given United States Steel
workers at South Chicago, Gary, and
Joliet; also increases to workers in
other steel mills.

Notice was posted in the yards OF

East Jersey Railroad company, con-

by both companies since 1915 is so
