After the War Problems

The great task of internal reconstruction after
the war confronts the American people. With un-
paralleled and astounding success America was
quickly transformed from peace basis to an
arsenal that turned out munitions and equip
ment of war in quantity production on such a
gigantic scale that our allies were astounded and
our foe dumfounded.
Within few months our industries will turn
back to peace time production. How to stop the
production of guns, shells, rifles, motor trucks,
airplanes and the thousands of items that are
catalogued as army and navy supplies, and to
keep the factories going on new work and the lab
orers busy, is problem of reconstruction that
must be seriously considered not only by the ma
tional legislators but also by the individual.
War orders amounting to billions of dollars
are in the process of completion. When peace is
declared most of these will be cancelled A ces-
sation of work on war orders will entail hardship
on the manufacturers and workers unless the in
dustrial wheels at once be changed to the pro-
duction of non-essental articles and other COM
modities in demand in peace times. Millions of
men and women now busiy employed in war work
will find themselves out of employment unless
governmental agencies provide gradual method
OF transition from war to peace time production.
Machinery worth millions OF dollars and special
factories costing huge sums Of money, designed
particularly for the construction of war supplies,
will go into the scrap heap unless they can be
used for other purposes
The rehabilitation of the army will restore
100000 soldiers to the industrial and CONNER
cial spheres. Their absorption into peaceful pur-
suits will not be easy one, nor fraught without
a Encouragement of our industrial machinery.
Secretary Lane of the Interior Department has
suggested that Congress enact legislation for the
reclamation of arid and swampy land so that the
returning soldiers may, if they choose, take up
government land, as did many soldiers of the
Civil war who were attracted to the states west
of the Mississippi river by the ease with which
land could be obtained. How far this plan would
go to solve the problem is matter of conjecture.
The Civil war found us an agricultural people.

passed, opens up in fan like system
of railroads from Client. and Brussels
on the north to Namur on the south.
The German armies stood five
weeks ago after the reduction of their
salients, with loss of some 100000
prisoners and half million casualties
and nearly 5000 guns, on line which
ran pretty well north and south from
a few miles west of Ostend down to
the sector of the front between Laon
and scissors, at which point they
turned the corner of an obtuse angle
and carried on eastward and a little
south past Rheims, through the Ar
gonne forest and to the Meuse below
Verdun. There they turned another
corner and ran southwark and a little
east after the reduction of the St. Mi
hiel above Metz at Pont-a-M
covering Nancy and Luneville, and so
on to the Voges.
From Metz to Lille are the great
main line railways which are the ne
cessary lateral communications for
this great arc, or bow. They run
through Montnedy Sedan, Hirson,
Valenciennes and SO to Lille. This
line linked up Lorraine with the Bel
gian sheaf of communications, and all
the supplies of the million, men who
lay in the forward thrust Of the great
salient between Arras and the Ar
gonne depended on it. Now this rail-
way runs In all it's eastern part right
under the difficult country of the Ar
dennes, and if you will look at the
map you will see that the point where
the belt defending it was narrowest
was the sector of Verdun; that is, the
two sides OF the Upper Mouse pust
north OF the town. 1t was here that
the front ran dangerously close to the
main lateral railway, and any consid-
cradle advance along the two sides of
the Meuse below Verdun threatened
to put this vital railway under fire
and therefore cut it.
Further, should Allied pressure com.
pei the enemy to retire, he would, of
course, retire where there was the
most open ground behind him, that is,
by the north on the right, pivoting on
the left or southeastern extremity of
the active front in the sector before
Verdun. A strong advance, therefore,
in this sector not only threatened to
cut off at the root the lateral commu-
nications whereby the German armies
on the north communicated with the
south and thereby the great German
mass in the center was supplied, but
also to break the hinge or pivot of
possible retirement, which retirement

EXPLAINS FEDERAL
ESTATE TAX LAW

The following statement has been
issued from the Office of the internal
revenue agent at Indianapolis:
ION account of the Federal Estate
tax law, which was enacted Septem-
Der 8, 1916, being tax on an estate
in lump, 1t has become confused
with the Indiana Inheritance tax law.
which is transfer taxa tax against
the legatee.
The Federal Estate tax law requires
all estates of decedents dying after
September 8, 1916, to file returns,
when the gross estate amounts to
$60,000.00, or more. or the net estate
is 100000. or more. There are two
particular forms which executors, ad.
illustrators and attorneys should
familiarize themselves with.
4 Form 704 should be filed within 80
days after death, or within 80 days
after letters testamentary are issued.
Form 706, containing item!zed lists
of the various assets, should be filed
within one year after death"

We know was imposed on the enemy
and has taken place.
When on September &c what the
enemy long expected took place and
the main battle was opened with a
powerful American attack in this vital
sector north of Verdun and between
the Argonne and the Meuse, the enc
my met it by a heavy concentration
1t was a matter of life or death for
him that the advance of the Allies,
whenever it took place, should not be
here. He brought up against the
American effort everything he could
possibly spare, even to the extent of
weakening other sectors to the north,
and as far as mere ground is con-
cerned he has parted the blow for the
moment. +
AS we all know, the advance in this
sector toward Grandpre which has
been reached and passed, and toward
Dun, which is not yet reached, has
been very painful and laborious eff
fort and expensive in men, and has
covered FIVE weeks Judged by the
map alone, or by anyone who did not
consider the strategical problem as a
whole, it looks like a failure
1t is nothing of the kind On the
contrary, it is an operation absolutely
fundamental to the Allied plan To
make this appreciated I shall turn in
my next points to the function of the
containing wing.
The great part of the Americans
during the past weeks and pending
further operations has been to form
the containing wing Of the great AL
lied sweep. The function of such a
containing wing in movement of this
sort is the most useful and the most
necessary of all, but it is the kind that
least advertises itself in movement.
When you have at once the super
iority of numbers and also the initia-
tive over the enemy holding a bulge or
salient against you. you try to reduce
the salient by striking its two extremi-
ties. That is. you act principally on
your two wings, maintaining in the
centre only as much pressure as is
necessary to pin the enemy to his
salient, trying as far as possible to
hook him.
Now, short of some very bad blum
der en- the part Of the enemy, or gross
inferiority, you will hardly secure en-

scale. There is no example in this
war, not even against the half-sup-
piled and broken armies of Russia at
the end of the 1915 campaign. But by
the threat of development you compel
him to retire with very heavy loss
of men and material, and during the
compulsion he will naturally give way
before the wing that threatens his
very life. This latter wing, therefore,
which by exercising constant and I'M
varying pressure permits the other ex-
tremity to do its work and go forward,
is called the containing wing.
It's role is for the moment migrate
full. Its business is to hold great
masses of the enemy and by so doing
to permit it's fellow at the other ex-
IRENE to advance rapidly and compel
general retirement, but its useful
ness to the general scheme is as high
and if anything higher than any other
component part of the scheme. Not
only does it thus contain, that is, pin
down and prevent the movement of
great masses which the enemy could
use elsewhere, but it exercises the

DESIRE this week to turn from
the general situation of the war

II DESIRE this week to turn from
the general situation of the war
to the particular point of interest
to American Readers and discuss the
situation on either side OF the upper
Meuse. together with the factor Of
continuity in effort. which is of the
highest interest and Importance at
the present moment; in other words,
the continuance of pressure on the
enemy during the winter.
For an understanding of the two
sectors Of the Upper Mouse, east and
west of the river, and the nature and
value Of pressure there. three things
must be apprehended. First, why this
sector is of such vital Importance to
the enemy; second, the function in
strategy OF Containing the wing;
third, the principle which has govern
ed the whole Allied attack since the
middle of July, which is given no tech
nical name, but which / will call,
>ior lack of a better title, suction"
First, why was the sector where
the American army initiated it's at
tack OF September &c. of vital import
ance to the enemy? Why was 1t more
important than any other sector?
There are two reasons. First, it faced
the hinge upon which must pivot any
great enemy retirement. Second, be-
cause any considerable Allied advance
at this point would hamper the sup
plies of the armies of the enemy in
northern France and compel the sur
render OF great proportion of these.
with a possible decisive result.
The nature of the ground and the
political development of centuries con-
sequent on 1t have compelled all the
main communications of the armies
proceeding from east to west out of
Germany into France to lie through
the Belgian plain and through Lor-
raine. At the present moment both
the Belgian plain and the fertile, met
alliferous Lorraine district are a net
work of railways and roads by which
very large armies can be supplied and
wounded evacuated. two things equally
important to maintaining the life and
health Of force.
To the south OF Lorraine lie the Vos-
ges. and to the south of the Belgian
plain lies the difficult country of the
Ardennes. Through neither is there
the proper communication to the front
that can only be found in sheaf Of
communications through open country,
such as Luxembourg, Metz and all the
gap up to the Vosges, or the open
country of the Belgian plain, which
after the bottle neck Of Liege has been

 Miss Brockwell is seen in one of those semi vampire roles for which she alone, on the movie screen, is justly noted. "A Bird of Prey will remain for today and Monday. and is equalled in it's appeal with the comedy for the occasion when Fatty Arbuckle comes in Good Night Nurse" which is so fresh from it's city premier that it is scarcely two weeks old.

 A soap-box orator stood on New York street corner and harrangued a crowd. A ragged little lad stood be- side him and listened intently to his wild outbursts. The two were father and son.
 The father died and bequeathed to his son, John Warfield, one single legacy. a bitter hate of the wealthy. The boy grew up and attracted dis ciples to the doctrines of his father. One of these was girl. Goldie Shep- hard. a telephone operator. Then came an inheritance of mil lions to the young socialist soap box orator He married Goldie and all her professions of love for the poor and oppressed vanished into thin air under the influence of life of luxury and ease.
 Vengeance reached out for her life and a sweet and noble girl, Lillian Lor- raine, daughter of wealthy parents yielded her heart to Warfield, the idealist.
