The new Czecho-Slovak races have
become welded into a nation by the
fiery and l0ng-banked furnaces of their
own passion for liberty. They are to
become a nation for the sam reason
that the United States became a ma
ton, sprung from the spiritual and In
tcllectual loins Of the d-eamers Of Ply
mouth Rock, the Ylrginias and the
Boston tea party. says New York
Morning Telegraph. The lands, the
waters, the foods. the fabrics, the
buildings, the ships and all the mate
rial and sensible things which follow,
would be only inert meaningless and
confused commodities unless they
were vitallzed and made eternally
dynamic by that spirit which is the
essence. the life and the identity Of ev.
cry nation which is fit to survive.

Pre- War Status in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin will return to her pre-
war status before next summer and
there will be no general business
depression or serious labor probl-
ems.
These are the opinions of lead
ing manufacturers. The jump
from war to peace conditions is not
a big one and sterilization will
come quickly, they predict.
The big plants in the state that
have been working on war orders
will continue until they have full
filled their contracts and then will
resume manufacture of their peace
time product. Other war plants
have laid plans for "demobilizing
and these will be executed as quic-
ky as the new machinery is inst
allied.
New industries will be found for
the new plants, which have been
erected solely for war work, accord
ing to the plans of the state ind
ustrial commission.
This metamorphosis of war plants
is likely to bring to the state an
important industry, for according
to plans now, explosives plants
will emerge dye plants. There are
three large explosives plants in the
state and it is believed that their
output will be large enough to en-
title them to classification as i'm.
portant industries.
The states lumber industry is
due for a boom This product is
much needed in the devastated CO.
untries of Europe and already large
orders have been placed and ship.
ments are scheduled to begin be.
fore Christmas.
But the lumber industry will not
be the only one in the state thai
will boom, for iron, wool and che
ese are just as much needed over
there row as they ever were anC

reported bids for their further ord

THE eLuEJAcKETs PROTEST.

No sooner has the country been I'M
mistakably informed that its soldiers
do not want to be called "Sammies"
than the fighting sailors In its navy
rise to protest against the appella-
ton Jackie" There is something
about it that they do not like, that
sits unccmfortably upon them and
makes them Ill at ease. Perhaps, and
probably, it IS the diminutive form.
Jack" has been a good name for a
sailor almost ever since there were
sailors and an English language.
"Jack Tars" have sailed all over the
world, In ships Of war and In mer-
chant clippers. "Blueiacket" still
stands and causes no resentment.
Your true sailor is least Of all things
in the world a mollycoddle. He viii

fan. He is deeply human, full Of SEN
tIment and affection, but there Is al
most nothing he would not rather do
than show it. To the outer world
he prefers to show a stern and even
forbidding exterior. He is doing
real mans work; he is going to fight
and die when he is called on to do

NATIONAL PROFITS FROM WAR.

Now that there is so much talk go
ing around about profiteering, it is
worth while examining how we staad
as a nation in this matter. According
to official statistics, our favorable
balance Of trode since the war
began in August. 1914, has amounted
10 only a little less than ten billions
Of dollars. That is a staggering sum,
and represents the profteering Of the
nation on account of the war; says
PHILADELPHIA Bulletin. II is true, we
generally Esd a lice little balance to
cur credit before the war, but nothing
to equal tbs figures quoted above.
Most Of this profit has come from
enhanced prices and larger activities
on account of the war. Belllgerent
nations have bought munitions and
food, and neutral nations have
bought all sorts of wares. We have
done some buying, but on small
scale compared with our selling. As
Is well known, practically all stocks
end bonds Of American corpora,
tons have come home. We have paid
all our debts and have become rich.
The figures mentioned above are in
teresting because they are almost *
getty equal to the amount we have
raised through Liberty loans this year.
II the war were TO stop now, we
should have paid All costs from profits
In our foreign trade and have had
plenty to spare, for the actual cost Of
the war SO far is only about $1,000
100000. exclusive If almost as much
loaned to the allies.

The story of the Italian lieutenant

Originally, defamation was a mill
tary punishment of the Romans, who
dealt with large bodies Of rebels, pris-
Oners or mutinous soldiers by execut-
ing one man in ten. In popular use
today, defamation means the destruc-
ton of large proportion of anything !:
as. "the epidemic has decimated the
population" or "the Prussian guards
were decimated at Yerdun."

to build the navy and support it, and to furnish

at $240OOOO00O0, a sum which battles the
