WHEN WILL THE
 BOYS COME BACK?

With peace assured, everyone is now asking when the soldiers will come back. Some people think the boys now over there will soon be sent home, while others now in the camps will be sent over to take their place. This would involve some ex- tra transportation, and seems un- practical.
 Much will depend on the turn events take inside of Germany. If new revolutionary government is created that gives evidence of sincere desire for peace, it may be possible largely to reduce the force which il had been expected to keep over there for the next year. We have ol course learned that the German word is not to be trusted. But it should be possible so thoroughly to disarm them that a large part of the army could be discharged.
 As Europe's chief need now will be for food, 1t would seem as if France and England and Italy would want our boys to get home as soon as pos sible so as to help increase the food supply.
 Then the Russian situation will af- feet the matter. Russia is still a powder magazine, with explosions likely any minute. The Bolshevik rule has created a condition of ty- ranny and cruelty far worse than anything that existed under the Czar. Such a condition can not be permit ted to continue indefinitely. It in wolves too many elements of danger. The Germans could take advantage | of it too easily. How far our army must help restore order only the fu- ture can show.
 The quick transport of our troops | to Europe was achieved only by the use of a great number of English l ships. With England short of its food supply, we can not ask her to lend us those vessels any further. We must get the boys home in our own ships. As yet our fleet is not big enough to do that very rapidly though 1t Is growing. Still It seems reasonable to hope, all things con- sidered, that the great majority ol
 the boys will be joyfully eating tur-
 key at home on Thanksgiving Day
 1919.

ing methods for assisting in, the re- adjustment of business without seri- ous disturbances or injury to general conditions.
 Besides, there has been in all lines of trade with which the government has not been specially interested, an accumulation of orders, wnrch to a large degree at least, will be placed as soon as the supply may justify. And in order to refill emptying ware houses throughout the country large quantities of finished materials will be required.
 Moreover, in non-producing coun- tries it has been impossible to sup ply their necessities on account of the war requirements, and these will com mence to buy as soon as it is practi- cable, so that a large increase in ex- portations may be expected.
 Extensions and new construction which have been necessarily postpon- ed for lack of material will be taken up.
 And with all this is connected the thought that as a net result of the war the volume of cash and cash re- sources had been increased in g marked degree and will be expended for purposes of expansion and devei opment in this rich and growing country. The circulation of money | is considerably larger than it was 9 | the beginning of the war.
 "As a general proposition it is stil | true that the optimist who keep within the limits of cash or stabl | cash resources will succeed. For thu | long future we have reason to believ, that the country will be more progress sive and more prosperous than eve | before.
 ''It remains for all who have beel permitted to survive the horrors o war to enter upon the new era witl united and fraternal spirit, and fixed purpose to profit by the expert ences of the past and to aid in tn establishment of a permanent basi of peace and prosperity"

 On December 6, 1916, MT. Asquitl resigned to avert a general election His resignation was the result of variety of dissensions within the gov ernment and of the dissatisfaction o the Unionists, who had quietly inti mated that, war or no war, if neces

George Eliot Seldom Read.

George Eliot was a writer almost
omnipotent IN her power to charm at
once the great multitude and the aus.
tere critic Of her time.
She was taken more seriously than
any writer of today ever has been or
ever will be taken.
Yet to the great bulk Of educated
criticism of today George Eliot has
become a writer unreadable in herself
and negligible as a critical Illustration.
Her character drawing appears TO
be singularly wooden, her books with
out any form, her style entirely pc.
deStrian and her solemnity intolerable
And it IS probable that ii was This
very solemnity that gave to her works
all the qualities that make them 10
men in touch with the life of today so
entirely unreadable, so exactly like so
many heavy cakes.
George Eliot was, in fact great
figure. She was great enough 10 I'm.
pose herself upon her day: she prob.
ably never sought though she Ger.
tainiy found, the popularity of sensa.
donalism.

says Il have received during the
last thirty days several letters, some
from the state which have the honor
in part to represent and some from
other states, in reference to the price
Of hides, which the stockmen and the
farmers have occasion to sell. There
is no market for them practically at
all. for some reason which it is difficult
for one to understand when he goes into
a shoe store or to a harness shop or
those places where leater is sold. There
seems to be no demand practically for
hides of any kind that is, the kind
which are sold by stockmen and farmers
of the west. In two of these letters
they state to me that the buyer told
them there was no market at all; that
they would pay them SO much, and if

ONE of George Creels latest is to
praise the thousands of rich corpora.
tions for the manner in which they dis
played their souls by giving their time
and invested their money for war pur-
poses. Not word of praise, however.
for the tens of thousands of poor citi-
zens who have turned over their last
dollar, practically, nor for those who
have actually borrowed money to be
patriotic and helpful in war time. If
sifted for proof, there is little doubt
but what it would be clearly shown that
the last two classes have proved to be
100 per cent loyal as to the corpora
tions' rs per cent. Creel, it must not
be forgotten, is the paid head of the
committee on public information, whose
job, among othes things, is to ilatter
these thousands of corporations that
they may not sour on the bunch en-
employing him. Has anyone bothered
about finding out where the money
comes from that pays CreePs salary
and the expense of his bureau and the
real purpose thereof ? 1t is no dis
advantage to become wise.

THE WARS PROGRESS.

For all Of week, at this writing,
the large German forces on the west
ern front in France have been on the
defensive and backing up day by day.
The French, British and American
soldiers have been the main power in the
push, while Italian soldiers have helped
considerably.
For the Americans it can be said that
none ecipsed them in clean-cut, tactic
al and heroic fighting. Their achieve
ments have astonished their allied com
rades and staggered the foe.
A complete collapse of the great Ger
man military machine appears now to
be Ringing on time, and short at that.

Senator King of Utah: eve raise
the price of the products which we
purchase upon the theory Of the adj
vance in labor. Then we justify the
advance in labor that is, a higher
price for labor, and an increase in the
compensation which governmental en-
ployes are paid-upon the theory that
there is an advance in the necessities
of life which they are compelled to
purchase, so that the laboring man. the
man working in the shipyards, or work
ing for the government, appeals to
Congress for an increase in wage be-
cause of the high price of the commod-
tiles of life which he is compelled to
buy. Then the producers of those com
modities apply to Congress for an in
crease in price because of the high
price in labor and so one is balanced
against the other, and the result will be
the pyramidng not only of labor but of
the prices of all commodities, until the
cost of the war and the cost of every
thing which the government buys will
impose in the end staggering burden
that we cannt meet, and that, perhaps,
will break posterity. There ought to
be a halt called at some time, some
place, and somewhere"

they did not desire to take it they could
take the hides bach home Ia other in
stances they give the price at which
the farmer finally sold the hides, which.
as one of them stated, was not suffi-
cient to justify my stopping and taking
the hine off the animal and taking it to
the market.
The Tribune publisher has quizzed
sufficiently to be convinced that pretty
much the same conditions in the hide
market prevail in Wisconsin, and we
we all know that the prices of shoes
and everything into which the finished
leather product enters are abnormally
high, severe, an unrighteous hardship
on the struggling people profiteering
robbery. Who is to blame? 1t has
been said and never denied that those
great industrial packers of meat and
about nearly every other necessary of
life, with headquarters in Chicago, con-
troll the hide and leather market of the
world. Strange that they can control
so much and the government cannot
control them and yet, not so strange
when you take into consideration that
these packers are liberal campaign
contributors.
