IF PEACE SHOULD COME.

Although il may be premature
to speculate ON the possibility of
peace being contaminated any
ways soon, still the action of Rus
STA, and added TO this the utter

and President Wilson, have set
many people to wondering what
would be the effect on this coun-
try should peace be declared
This is a contingency we should
be always ready to welcome 1t
can work only good to us, and not
any harm. Those who pessimisti-
eally refer to "war profits" are
short sighted indeed. The bust
ness Of the United States is in no
sense dependent on war profits
True. much of the national energy
is being put into war preparation,
but when peace is declared this
force viii welcome the OppOrtun-
ity to transfer to the arts of peace
These have suffered neglect and
are in great need of attention.
We could stand a falling off in
prices Of all commodities and be
the better off. We could also
benefit by an enlarged supply of
everything that enters into the
life and activities of the people.
SURPRISES in all lines have been
swallowed up, and even with the
world at peace, it would require
years to reach the point where the
SURPRISES would materially affect
prices. This fact is our guarantee
that for long time to come the
needs of the world win call for
our utmost exertions, and at high
prices.
The United States is not only
the great creditor nation of the
world, it is also the supply depot
of the earth. All nations are now
looking to us for the implements
of peace as well as war. The war
has greatly enlarged the field Of
our custom, because we have tax
en- the trade of many Of the war
ring countries, whose every en-
ergy is being expended ON war ae-
tivities. Our production and man
ufactures in the arts Of peace are
far greater today than ever be-
fore.
Peace, if it can be had with
honor, viii be welcomed by every
soul in this country, because it
will release for the beneficent ser
vice of mankind, forces that now
are employed in the arts of de-
struction. 1t viii take a genera
ton for our greatest efforts to
place us back where we were in
1914, as far as concerns the avail
able supply of all the necessaries
Of life.
Peace, with honor, is the pray
er Of every earnest soul in this
country.

Snow, instead of having 5Os-

1917 we have many more than
that in France, and instead of
having a half million men whom

That we don see why the fact

That if we were as willing 10

Every move Of consequence,
made BY the Wilson administra-

since, has not only been intended,
but has worked out for the COM

able things. Our entry into the
war was deferred until there was
no alternative. And when the
break finally came, the American
people were strongly importuned
by that truly great man they had
twice elected as their chief exc
cutive to be sure that the govern
ment would meet the appalling
ordeal in the most efficient way
possible, and to have faith.
The nation at large was con-

first opportunity to disclaim the
charge of drunkenness in the

lean people are in no mood to lis

know we have the finest body of

under any flag. No army in the
history of the world was ever en-
tirely free from this vice, but we
have General Pershing's word
that our boys are the finest and
cleanest body of men he has ever

good ladies in their zeal for a
