A BIG BOOM IN PROSPECT.
No Panic Nor Hard Times Is Feared
by the Government.

Within a few weeks the United
States will undergo big boom, ac-
cording to the forecast of leading gov
eminent officials. They anticipate
no hard times or panic during the pro-
cess of graduating industry back
from war to peace. So confident is
President Wilson that the foundations
for reconstruction are firm that he
will not hurry in his recommendations
to congress for legislation needed for
reconstruction. Pending his appear
ance before congress-which will await
his annual message-the president
may place in the hands of commits

and senate appropriations committees

one of the agencies created by the war
will be retained, it is said, for long
time.
The government will follow poll

conditions as thoroughly as possible
in canceling contracts for munitions

materials for which there is a large
demand both at home and
abroad, taking into consideration at
the same time the problem of redis-
tribu.ion of labor.

What About wilhelm?

Paris-Will Wilhelm lose his head
be banished, or be allowed to dis
appear? Public opinion here is divid-
ed. The majority of the masses SEEM
ingly rebel at the escape of the former
kaiser, who was regarded as the prin-
cipal maker of war and the murderer
of 20 million persons. These are in
favor of an international high court to
pass judgment on his case. They ap-
pose Punishment as tending to Ma
poleonize him into hero to which he
is not worthy. Others declare the
kaiser and crown prince were mario
nettes in the hands of the militarists
and kings of commerce, who are the
ones responsible for the war. They
contend that, if possible, these ring
leaders should be hailed before an in
ternational court so that something
like justice may be achieved. Other
wise, they say, merely the surface will
be scratched. The opinion is unani-
nous that the Allies have hard jobs
in fixing Germany so that no one man
or clique can make war again and at
the same time arresting a famine so
far as circumstances permit by hold
ing out helping hand to thoroughly
oeaton foe.

A BIG JOB YET.
Large American Forces Will Be Need
ed in GarrisOning of Europe

Large American forces, it must be
expected, will be required in Europe
for a longer period, following the
peace, than we have been used to
million young men can not withdraw
considerable forces of her man power
badly needed for reconstruction of
family life and normal industries for
J the garrisoning of the danger spots
of Europe and Asia, nor can England
perform a great part of this neces-
sary service, or Italy. America as
the last conner in the war, the small
est loser and the sole gamer, must be
called upon to contribute perhaps the
major part of this service.
1t is not only Germany that will
need to be policed. And it is not only
those specific cities of Germany to
be named in the arnistice and later
peace terms, in the event that anarchy
should raise its torch. In that case
much larger forces will be required.
But besides Germany are the various
Austrian and Balkan regions that may
become involved in internal troubles
Reconstruction of nearly the whole of
Europe is job of inconceivable mag
nitude.
Chief of all is Russia. That enor-
nous country and nation must be saw
ed, and America better than any coun-
try can be trusted both by the allies
and the Russian people to undertake
the work. Japan and America, we
must expect, will have large forces
in Russia and Siberia for long per-
iod of reorganization, until Russia
some way is able to get up and stand
erect on her own feet.
There will be no mealy- mouthed
policy towards Russia, since to seduce
and corrupt and betray Russia, to get
her claws firmly into Russia, is Ger
many's sole hope of recovering all her
lost ground. This plot and hope are
to be frustrated at any cost.
We should expect large American
army, all told, to be maintained in
Europe and Asia for long period, a
portion at least for matter rather of
Years than months.

WOULD DANISH THE KAISER
Preacher Suggests Making Arch Fiend
Wanderer on the Seas.

"What Shall We do With the Kai-
ser?" was the subject of sermon re-
Gently delivered by the Rev. DR.. Philip
Yarrow in Chicago. Doctor Yarrow
said the abdication of the kaiser would
not permit him to evade the penalty
of his crimes to humanity, adding:
"The enormity of his crime is with
out parallel in history. Attila, Nero
and the most bloodthirsty monsters
of history had nothing on the kaiser
this war. The German kaiser is the
when measured by the blood shed in
arch fiend of all the centuries. His
guilt has been proven by his own coun-
trymen.

the heirs of the throne. Insist that
never again shall they set foot on the
soil Of Europe.
"Place the kaiser on a yatch paint
ed blood red with the skull and the
cross bones flying from the mast.
Name the yatch Lusitania. Let it be
decreed that never again shall the pi-
rate and child muderer tread upon the
earth.
"Let no port allow the yatch har-
Dor for more than a day. Let the kaiser
who deliberately brought on this war,
be wanderer on the face of the sea,
an outcast of the nations, the pariah

ON KAISER'SPL

AUBURN. N. T., Oct. I1.-secretary
Robert Lansing. who Is here attend
ing the centennial OF the Auburn
Theological Seminary, in discussing
the rumor which came from Stock
holm today that Emperor William had
abdicated, said:
THAT has been current for some
time. Unless we know in whose
favor the Kaiser IL abdicating, the
story has no significance whatever.
"If 1t is simply setting up one Of
his sons in his place the situation
would not be changed in the least:
but II he should abdicate In favor Of
a democratic Germany It would mean
something"
The Secretary also warned against
a let-up in the Liberty Loan drive. He
said:
at would be a grave mistake to
let up for one moment II peace
were declared today Il would over q
year before the troops could be
brought back across the sea and de-
modified. There II no let-up in
the Liberty loan drive. He said:
ut would be a grave mistake to
let up for one moment II peace were
declared todRy II would be over a
year before the troops could be
brought back across the sea and de-
mobiliEed. There Is no let-up IN pres
sure In the army and navy and there
should be no let-up here."

Cool weather is helping the steel in

of coke works and steel mills employees
kept at work in response to govern
ment appeal, good stocks of finished
steel held by manufacturing consumers
and Washington efforts to prevent
drastic curtailments made shutdowns
Tor lack of iron and steel rare in
metal working lines. However, this
week, like others,s has brought fresh
warnings of impending restrictions.
"The conferences of steel manufac-
turers and special price liking COM
mittee brought disagreement on all
the products considered. On rails the
makers themselves were at odds. The
$o| price for one-hearth rails was
favored by large interests. while others
held out for $50. Government repre-

Railroads Will Save
$1,O0O,0 900 Yearly
Plan to Abolish Freight and
Passenger Associations All
Over Country
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)

CHICAGO, July 1O.--Heads of rail
roads are planning to save $1,000,000 a
year by abolshing freight and pas
senger associations throughout the
country There are five in Chicago
and many more in New York. The
government will not pay for the
maintenance of such organizations, as
much of their work is made unneces-
sary by Federal control. Railroad ex-
ecutives are unwilling to meet associ-
alton costs out of corporate funds. Of
ficers of such organizations have been
we'll paid, a Chicago chairman's SAL
ary being $4,000 year
The associations were formed be-
cause of competition between roads
when they were under private control
and for the service they could render
in establishing rates and shipping ar
rangements. The general managers
association was instituted largely to
enable roads to collectively combat
labor demands.
Among organizations to be elimi-
mated are many classification commit
tees, Western freight and passenger,
central freight and passenger, trans
continental freight and passenger,
general managers. weighing and trunk
line associations. The expense of the
organizations was borne by the rail
roads and based upon the mileage Of
systems.
