Labor Reconstruction

(From the New York Times.)
The readjustment of labor seems
to be proceeding more smoothly and
quickly than many have feared. The
Federal Director of the United
States Employment Service for this
state, Henry Bruere, says that not 5
per cent. of the war workers re-
leased from war industries lack
work. For the last week 1921
registered for work and were offered
10000 Jobs. ee-fourths of the
returning soldiers are placed within
a fortnight of their return. One ex-
ample is that of the Remington
arms plant at Ilion. Last Monday
1t shut down on war work, and an
nounced that it would start on
sporting goods next week. The plant
employs $4,000 men. At the great
munitions centre, Bridgeport, the
Remington Cartridge Company stop
ped at the same time, and asked all
its old employees to report the day
after New Years for preference in
unemployment.
The reports from Washington are
better yet Telegraphic reports from
forty-nine states say that there are
vacancies for seven times more men
than women workers, and that there
are more jobs than workers. During
the week 1872, ,798 asked for work.
and there were 273,636 calls for
workers. The department offered
employment to all asking, and en-
ployers accepted 94,026. It is true
that the cantonments DISCHARGED
more mon than there were Jobs
available, but $4,000 of the dis
charged men placed themselves.
and there was an actual shortage.
The survey of the Mechanics AS
sociation resembles the Federal re-
ports: In some cases there is an
actual shortage of labor of all kinds,
while in other cases there is simply
a shortage Of skilled labor, or even
a surplus

"WdUe of Moral Force"
ew York Evening Telegram.

(New York Evening Telegram.)
Accorded the high but not uneX-
pected nor undeserved honor of n
degree from the Sorbonne as "Wil-
son the Righteous" the President,
not unnaturally, in reply touched
upon his aims.
MY conception of the league of
nations is just this:-That it shall
operate as the organized moral
force of men throughout the world,
and that wherever wrong and ag-
gression are planned or contemplat-
ed. this searching light of conscience
will be turned upon them, and men
everywhere will ask What are the
purposes that you hold in your
heart against the fortunes of the
world?'"
We confess the President has not
yet made himself clear to the ordi-
nary man in the street as to just
what his conceptions are.
Far more to the point is the Ian
guage of Senator Lodge, who wants
Germany punished, the United
States to share in indemnities; the
Senate, which must ratify any
treaty, to resent being snubbed;
peace to be made first. freedom of
the seas and league of nations to be
taken up later.
Nobody can misunderstood this.
Nor can it be told what are the pur-
poses you hold in your heart against
the fortunes of the world" unless
you speak plainly.
Maybe Mr.. Creel is making a mess
of sending out the Presidents re-
marks.
Mr.. Wilson says further that
There is great wave of moral
force moving through the world,
and every man who opposes himself
to that wave will go down in dis
grace"
We can only hope the great wave
of moral force is not antagonistic to
frank expression. There is a great
difference between talking about
open covenants and living up to
them.

THE NATIONAL GUARD
(Philadelphia Press }

NOW We have ruling by the
Judge Advocate General that the
IGuardmans discharge from the
militia on being drafted into Federal
service is perpetual and not merely
for the emergency and that when
the Federal Government is done
with them they are as other dis
| charged soldiers and have no status
as National Guardsmen.
This looks more like the annihila-
ton of the National Guard than it's
temporary call into Federal service
TO meet an emergency. There is no
indication on record that Congress
in passing the law for the complete
liberalization of the National Guard
intended the effects of Federaliza-
tion to operate beyond the emerg-
ehcy and the discharge of the Guards
men from Federal service. An
earlier decision OF the Judge Advo-
cate General held that when the
Guardsmen are mustered out of the
Federal service they would revert to
their militia status and to their
status in the National Guard. This
is n sensible ruling and ought not
to be disturbed. AS far as the SOL
dier is concerned there is no diff
charge and being mustered out of
service. The Guardsmen of Penn
sylVania are enlisted for three years
Under the State National Guard Act
of 1917, they are enlisted for three
years as active Guardsmen and three
years in the National Guard Reserve
They were sworn to give this six
years service to the state. Before
they could complete this obligation
they were taken into the Federal
service having in view," so the
President said, 'the danger of ag-
gression by foreign enemy upon
the territory of the United States"
That danger is over. The term of
most of the State Guardsmen has
not yet expired. They are through
with the Federal service when dis
charged from it, but there still re-
mains their obligation under this
state enlistment as militia of the
Commonwealth to hold themselves
in readiness to repel invasion or in
surrection in their state and put
down tumult, riot or mob. Many of
them belong to regiments which
have a long and honorable history
of public service and they should
not be forcibly discovered from
them by q technical and unreason-
able construction of a statute that
was never intended to have any such
effect
1t is a case where Congress should
intervene to prevent the annihilation
of the National Guard even tempor-
Iarily. If General Ansell's ruling had
been in effect when the National
Guard came back from service on
the Mexican border it's members
would have become civilians and
when wanted for the German war
there would have been very little
National Guard in existence. OF
course new army law has been
enacted since then but the destruc-
ton of the National Guard was
never one OF its objects.

FUTURE OF OUR SCHOOLS

ARGE issues and questions OF
vital importance to the country
press for discussion and de-
'cision at the annual convention
of the Pennsylvania educators In
Harrisburg this week. The war has
given us new light on the subject of
early schooling. We have seen the
German government drive millions
of its subjects blood-mad through
the means of a debauched educa-
tional system, designed to turn out
soldiers instead of citizens. We have
come to new understanding of
what the schoolroom may be made
to be in the life of the nation.
1t is as easy to train our children
for high and noble service as it was
for Germany to turn hers into paths
of treachery, selfshness and final de-
feat.
I'm this hour America is great of
purpose, noble and unselfish in
ideals" says Margaret Slattery, in
her admirable book, THE Second
Line of Defense" Her passion is
democracy - an even greater dem
ocracy than she herself has known,
for all the struggling world. Her
first line of defense dies for it. Will
she train her second line of defense
to live for it? Home and school and
church must answer, and any stu
dent of American. child life knows
that they should answer at once,
and as unit, for childhood is an
easy prey"
We have been so wrapt up in
means and methods that we too
often have lost sight of funda-
mentals. First and foremost, it is
the sduty of the school to develop
good citizenship. After that the rest
is easy, for the good citizen is not
only a bulwark of society, but his
own best friend as well. The good
citizen is a producer, not a waster;
he is ambitious for himself and his
children; he is progressive, unselfish
and honest. Our schools are long
way from perfection in this respect.
To put them thoroughly in accord
with popular thought on the subject
is the duty of those who direct them
and much more than week of dis
cussion might be given to it and
relating subjects.

delphia political angle. was worse
than a waste of time. Valuable
time which could have been de-
voted to legislation was lost in bick-
ering and when the wind-up period
came 1t was wearying on members
and officials. TO say nothing OF the
public which paid the bills.
This year both branches of the
Legislature will start off without the
contests over presiding officers which
marked the last two sessions: the
Governor will be one of the most ex-
perienced OF legislators; the needs
of the hour will have been thought
out ana the bills prepared. Although
the perennial Philadelphia night is
going to crop up, the chances are
that a date will be set for adjourn
ment and a business session be held.
The State wants 1t short and active.

The Return of Nicholas
lTrom the y. z. SUM

ltTOm the " 1, 6unJ
A Polish officer returning to War
saw from the Crimea says the former
dowager Empress of Russia. now liv-
in at Livadia. has been receiving
Regularly letters from her son. the
former Gear Nicholas II. corre-
spondent who went to Ekaterinburg
to investigate the Bolshevik report
of the execution OF Nicholas says
that he found the house where the
Romanoff family had lived, the place
where they are supposed to have
been killed. had even examined the
bullet holes in the wall. but had not
found either their burial place or any
one who could definitely. cay that
they had been executed. There Is
mystery enough in the disappearance
of the former Russian ruler to give
him place In that strange border
land between life and death whence
men never return. yet never die.
Not long ago Mrs. Parker, sister
of Lord Kitchener, expressed the be-
lief that her brother was still alive
and would return. A London news
paper commenting upon this said
that it was a curious fact that there
were many persons in England who
held the same belief despite the otfi-
cial report of Lord Kitchener's death
off the Scottish coast
Yuan Shih-k'ai, who asked only
to rest in the tombs of his ancestors,
is found now and then, sad and
silent old man, wandering in some
foreign Chinese quarter. A return
ing traveller reports that General
Gordon rules a negro kndom in the

every Russian coffee house plotting,
always plotting. his return to the
throne of the Car, or shall we find
him in every whiskered, medium
sized, sad and silent man of the East
Side? Even the Bolshevik report
gave a degree of nobility to his last
days and a glamor of chivalry TO
his death. Why not let him rest
thus instead of sending him out to
join the great and inconspicuous
company of kings in exile?

Columbus Name Perpetuated.

Cristobal-Colon, the joint city of
Colon in the republic of Panama, and
Cristobal in the canal zone, is the
Spanish name for Christopher ColuEl-
bus, the first man who sought an all
water route across the isthmus, in his
quest for a new path to Asia. But
history shows that Columbus never
bore that name while living. He was
born Of family known as Colombo"
and when he entered the Spanish serv-
ice he changed his name to "Cristobal
Colon" yet we insist on calling him
Columbus" The Panaman and
American cities Of Colon and Cristo-
bal, situated at the Atlantic entrances
to the Panama canal, are so named In
recognition of the great explorer, and
massive bronze statue representing
Columbus presenting before the court
of Spain one of the native Indians OF
the new land he had discovered was
erected many years ago on the sea
front of Cristobal-C and still
stands as monument to the memory
of one of the worlds most intrepid ex-
plorers.
