Learning the Law.
he Columbus Ohio State Journal.

From the Columbus Ohio State Journal.
1t is noted that attendance at law
schools is not as great as it used to
be. This may be accounted for in
two ways: First because so many
young men have thought it is their
greater duty to go to war and save
the world for law and civilization,
and. second, because the world is
going to change much when the war
is past and a great deal that is
learned now of law and its practice
is going to undergo a great change.
The reign of precedent will not be
so prevalent nor will the judicial
system depend SO much upon shrewd-
ness and money. The war will stir
up our social, commercial and in
Gustrial relations to their depths and
among thesfundamentals that will be
aroused from their long repose will
be that of a righteous law procedure,
so that much we learn now will be
ancient wisdom in the grand time
that is coming, when democracy gets
a solid foundation, which it hasn't
now. ...

WORK FOR RETURNING
SOLDIERS IS ASSURED
Continued Shortage of Farm Help
Predicted at Industrial De-
Tense Council Meeting.

Work for all returning soldiers, the
retention by women of the position
they won in the industrial world and
a continued shortage of farm help
were predicted by speakers at the
meeting of the National Council for
Industrial Defense yesterday at the
Hotel Astor, New York city.
The council is allied with the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers.
Industrial organizations of thirty
seven states were represented at the
conference.
John H. Kirby, jr., former president
of the National Association of Manu-
facturers. said that 5000 operatives
recently released in Dayton, Ohio, by
the Stoppage of war work were i'm
mediately absorbed by other indus
tries, and that this condition was and
will be typical of the change from
war to peace industry. He predicted
that the farmer will find a more seri-
Gus shortage of help after the war
than during the war.
"In the future he said, 1.-The farmer
will be worse off than the manufac-
turer. Boys are always leaving the
farm anyway. and now lot more
who have been taken off the farm by
war will remain away. AS to wages
in industry 1 think they will remain
stable where they are"
C. r. Mccoy, president of the Ohio
Associat ton Of Manufacturers, de-
clared there will be no general wage
reduction. He noted that the city of
Akron had just appealed for 10000
men, always a sign of good times.
All the speeches were in line with
recent declarations made by the De-
partment of Labor, which is endeav-
oring to make as easy as possible the
transition from wartime to peace
time industry, and to hold up wages.
The department through all its bu-
reaus and particularly through the
United States employment service, has
completed arrangements to fill indus
trial jobs with returning soldiers. and
placing of the right man in the right
job.

Insinuations.
From the coiumbu. Ohio State Journal.

From the Columbus Ohio State journal.
There are some people who are al
ways making insinuations. They are
a low breed naturally and haven't
sense enough to know that an in
situation is a mean and cowardly
manner of attacking a person. In the
first place it is put in the form of
an insinuation because it cannot be
put in the form of truth. An insinua-
ton is throwing a cIod from behind
a fence. practice that manly per-
son would not be guilty of. But there
is lots of it going on. We see it often
in public discussion, and sometimes
also among our correspondents. If
there is a speck of insinuation in
what you are about to write or say,
cut it out; and stand on the noun
tain peak and say it out to the
world. There is nothing like an in
situation to make one mad. That is
what the insinuator wants-to make
Il person mad and then hide himself
in the dirty dust he makes. Don't be
an insinuator. Be a hoIdup or a bur-
Slar or anything else first

MAKESPLEAF0R
GERMAN AUSTRIA
Head Of National Assembly
Holds Loan From Entente
L.. Vital Need for Food.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
VIENNA, Tuesday, December "a
The only bright spot in the tragedy
or Austria was the release of the
country from the Hapsburg autocracy,
which could never be restored, de-
clared Karl Seitz, leader of the Ger
man socialists in Austria and presi-
dent of the national assembly of Ger
man Austria, in an interview today.
The fate of German Austria was es-
pecfally tragic, he said. because she
mad been accused wrongfully of kim
ding the war. History would prove.
he declared, that the German-Aus-
TRANS had no expansive aspirations
against the Slavs and always had OPP
posed the action which started the
war. No country in the world. he as
serted, had suffered such brutality and
persecution at the hands of the mill
tary class as had German Austria.
No Federation Soon.
A federation of nations comprising
former Austria-Hungary, perhaps,
would be desirable in the interest of
capitalists. he continued. but such a
thing would be impossible for a long
time, not only because the CZecho-
Slovaks now were fighting against the
yer but oN Ing 10 tuc 'HSuptId-
BILE difficulties of arranging common
customs. taxation, finance and traf-
fic systems. to say nothing of the diff
fculty of language. German Austria,
however. he added. could not exist
alone, because of her geographical
position and because the arteries OF
traffic united her with south Germany
and thence with all of Germany, upon
which Austria, owing to heTneeds for
coal and capital. depended for her
restoration.
The German Austrian republic,
which had not yet been recognized by
the entente as an independent state,
Seitz declared. was faced with the
greatest difficulties concerning food
supply, raw material and capital.
Loan From Entente Necessary.
It would hardly be possible to main
tain this state economically without
a loan from the entente. he asserted.
He contended that the smoothness
and order with which the revolution
In Austria had been achieved had
done much to restrain the spread of
bolshevism in Germany.
Entente subjects. who had re-
manned in Austria throughout the
war, had. he said, suffered no i'll
treatment from the people of German
Austria. who had no hatred a@ainst
England. France or America. He eN-
pressed hope that with the conclusion
of peace any hatred against the Ger
mans in Austria would cease.

Another Canard Refuted.
From the Christian Science Monitor.
The story that Canada Is not I

The story that Canada is not hos
pitable to American visitors persists
1t is altogether without foundation
Even in the days when the United
States was holding a1oof from the
great conflict into which Canada was
throwing its all, visitors from the
United States were courteously and
graciously received in every part OF
the Dominion. All Canada desires to
know is that the visitors is a genuine
American citizen. Satisfied on that
point, he can consider himself quite
as much at home on the northern as
on the southern side Of the border.
Canada must necessarily look out for
the fraudulent American, as the
United States looks out for the fraud
ulent Canadian. The real articles"
in both cases. are all right.

much less.
The Germans, it was indicated by
official and staff dispatches today,
may make a stronger resistance
along the Vesle than has been anti
cipated.
Although the allies have establish
ed bridgeheads at Fismes, Bazouches
and Joncherry and are moving in

line (the German right fank), the
French war office reported that else
where strong resistance had been
encountered above the river. At the
same time dispatches from staff cor
respondents stated the Boche artill-
lery has opened the most violent fire
in the past two days.
The most important geographical
objective now Immediately before
the allies is the town of Vailly, on
the north bank of the Aisne, nine
miles east and north of Scissors. It
is about two miles north of the
Vesle. It is the center Of a vast
highway system and is on the rail-
way which follows the Aisne from
Scissors to Neufchatel.
A German retirement north Of
Montdidier, on the Picardy front
reported in last nights Paris COM
munique, was made on a front of
more than II miles between Castel

called toxins, sucked into the blood,
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart which pumps the blood SO fast
that it congests In the smaller arteries
and veins Of the head producing vto-
lent, throbbing pain and distress, called
headache. You BECOME nervous, de-
spondent, sick, feverish and miserable,
your meals sour and almost nauseate
you. Then you resort to acetanilide,
aspirin or the bromides which temper
arily relieve but do not rid the blood or
these irritating toxins.
A glass Of hot water with a teaspoon
full of limestone phosphate in 1t, drank
before breakfast for awhile, will not
