WASHINGTON. Dec. There is
nothing 10 be feared in the process
Of postwar reconstruction" If the
reports gathered in all sections OF
the country this week and made
public here today by the federal re-
serve banking system may be ac-
cepted at face value.
With the return TO civilian life Of
hundreds of thousands Of soldiers
within the next few weeks. there
may possibly be required a short
period for stabilizing the labor mar
ket, and in consequence there may
be a slight lowering OF the present
standard Of wages. Prices for food
and merchandise, also. The neces-
saries of life, are already on the to-
boggan ard the corresponding drop
in prices will be greater than the
lowering in wages. these reports in
dictate.
How business conditions in the
United States have made swift re-
Spouse to the influence of the sign
ing of the armistice is reflected in
the summary issued today.
Was Working Overtime.
Up TO the date when the armistice
with Germany was effected the state
ment said, the machinery was being
operated overtime for the purpose
of meeting war requirements, and
he productive power of the country
was being developed TO its highest
pacity. Subsequent to the signing
Of the armistice there set in a period
of uncertainty which lasted less than
a week. 1t was terminated by the
beginning of the process of demob-
ilization. This process has implied
thus far the cancellation of gov
eminent contracts, the suspension of
war work in a variety of lines and
corresponding shifting of buying
power and notifications of prices
in various directions. According to
reports written since the signing of
the arInistice and relating generally
to conditions in the eastern states
the effect Of industrial displacement
already brought about has been to
overcome the extreme scarcity Of
labor in many lines and to restore (,
much more normal condition among
the working forces.
From such districts, reports come
that in certain lines of industry
which manufacture both for gov
eminent and for civilian uses. man
ufacturing establishments are
marking time" awaiting definite in
formation as to government require
ments and the direction of public
demand before finally committing
themselves to any definite course of
action.

TROY MAN REPORTED
MISSING IN ACTION

Mr. and Mrs Alfred Kellberg of Burnt
ridge received telegram from Acting
Adjutant General Harris at Washington
last evening stating that their son, Pri-
vate Alvin G. Kellberg, who had been
serving in the infantry somewhere in
France is officially reported missing in
action since July 30th. They were also
informed that any future information
would be reported as quickly as received.
Mr. Kellberg is quite puzzled over the
report as he received letter from the
boy which was dated August 9th, where
in the telegram stated he was missing
since July 30th.. 1t may be that it should
have been August instead of July in the
telegram.-News.

EXEMPTION BOARD
EXAMINES 21-YEAR MEN

The local army exemption board today
examined 80 men of the Zl-year-old
class, who registered for military service
August "a. Out of the 80 examined &c
passed for general military service; nine
for special and limited service; two were
referred to the medical advisory board
and five were rejected. The examl1a-
tions took place on the third floor OF the
Federal building.
The eagerness of the young men to
get into active service was demonstrated
when several who were rejected, or put
in the limited service class, showed the
greatest disappointment that they had
not been able to get into the general
military service
The boys who passed today will prob
ably be called some time during October
