PEACE TO BRING NO
WAR PLANT LOSSES

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29-Though when
peace comes the government will have
outstanding contracts for tremendous
amounts OF supplies. valued at millions
Of dollars. which will not be required,
10 Is generally understood here that
manufacturers, mills or other organiza-
tions that have made agreements for
delivery Of their product will not be
allowed TO suffer financial loss.
Compensation. it Is believed, will be
given ali plants that have been devot-
ing their time to government work, and
this compensation, il is understood will
cover fully any pecuniary loss. The
manufacturer who comes in direct con-
tact with the government, viii on the
other hand, be expected TO compensate
the dealer from whom he has contract
ed to take goods. and this system will
be extended on down the line so that
there will be no financial hardship suf-
fered.
Under such circumstances the only
problem Of Industry would be TO get
back to a civilian business basis as
quickly as possibly, and it is not
thought that this will entail great loss

WHY TEMPORIZEp

1t was not reasonable to expect from
Germany a clean-cut, unevasiv, reply
to the presidents inquiry. or tina. her
forces would be promptly withdl avn
from occupied territories.
Meantime, the withdrawal will con-
tfnue to be forced by our armies with
the advantage of compelling the en-
envy to let go large masses of men and
material of war. which, If the evacua-
ton were voluntary, the enemy would
take with him.
The advantage of the presidents in
quiry. says the Bache Review, is. per-
haps, that it makes impossible a claim
on Germany's part that she has asked
for peace on President Wilson's own
| terms and Is been refused.
The claim would be as false and full
of sophistry as are all of Germanv's
announcements.
Such an enemy can be brought to
terms only by insisting upon uncondi-
tfonal surrender. Germany cannot be
taught any lesson by negotiating with
her.
The danger is that we NAV be
brought to an armistice and negotia-
tions, in which event, no matter what
terms were demanded, there would be
no way of enforcing them upon Ger
many except by a resumption of hos
tilities-and such a thing as resump-
ton of hostilities is rare thing in his
| tory after an armistioe has once been
declared
1t is difficult to see why the same
course as pursued with Bulgaria
| should not be taken with GERMANY.
Bulgaria asked for an armistice. The
request was firmly denied and uncon-
d1t1onal surrender Immediately fol-
lowed.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: After the
United States entered the war l mar
ried a man above the draft age We
had been going together, for some
time and 1 did not consider myself a
war bride in doing so as we had been
eng ged about vo months.
/ My husband is not money making
imam and so / kept on with my work
as a stenographer and with the. pay
, both of us could earn we got along
very we'll.
Eecause of the new draft my hus-
band has asked me to give up my
position in order to be dependent upon
him for support. This seemed to me
like a yellow streak in my husband
and l have been more disappointed in
him than / can tell you.
l want to keep on with my work
and have him go to war when his call
comes. This makes him think 1 do
not love him and that I am not doing
ny duty as wife. Do you think L
shoull gi up my work and help him
to be i Stacker?
DISAPPOINTED.
Since your husband perfectly
willing to have you work before there
was danger of his being called to serv-
ice, / think you should continue to
work now. Even if you gave UP your
position, your husband would probably
be drafted because he would have to
state in his QUESTIONABLE that you
were working at the time he married
you
Dear Mrs Thompson: have a
brother and a cousin in France and
would like to know whether we will
be allowed to send Christmas presents
and how soon they must be sent

ted to send one parcel to each man
overseas. The gift must be packed in
a standard container. 9x4x3 inches in
size. Three pounds is the limit al
lowed in weight.
Parcels must be mailed thru the
Red Cross in cartons supplied by them
vember 20. Your postoffice will have
packages. ~
Dear Mrs. Thompson: When going
to dinner and the theater afterward
with a young man. what should girl
wear? 1 have very pretty flesh col
or waist which / like better than any
of my clothes Would it be all right
to wear that with a suit or should 1
wear a taffeta silk dress which Is
cracking. The coat would have to
wear with the dress is not very nice.
DOUBTFUL.
It will be all right to wear the waist
and suit. Since you seem to like the
waist better than the taffeta dress. I
would advise yoti to wear it, as it will
make you feel more comfortable.

whip-hand over America because of
her supply of this mineral, but Amer
lea can in two ytars become entirely
Independent of Germany"
1t has been argued against the de-
velopment of a potash industry that
after the war Germany will pursue her
old practice of dumping" and that
American manufacturers will be I'M
able to Iheet her prices. But this
argument is readily refuted by the
mere statement that potash is a by
product. The manufacturers must in
stall devices to eliminate smoke any
way, and the potash extracted from it
is just so much clear profit. If neces-
sary they can without great loss stop
the production of potash and go on
with their regular business until Ger
many gets tired of holding down her
prices.
In conclusion. it may be stated that
the discovery of a new potash supply
in this country is the last step but one
towards complete economic independ-
ence. According to the bureau of
mines. there is only one more step to
take before 1t would be possible to
build a wall around the United States
and live within that wall. entirely
self-supporting and Independent of the
rest of the world. Already that step
is being taken in the construction of
nitrate plants.

enemy machine gun emplacements
had been pounded to bits. Then the
second was shattered and the marines
swept forward. Both privates have
been commended by their superior Of
ficers. Private Rider comes from
DeWatto, Wash, where his mother,
Mrs. Martha Brooks. now lives. Pri-
vate Smith is son OF Mrs. Julia Smith
Of Onargo, Ill.
Sergt. John J. Nagazyna of the
United States marines was in charge
of a platoon which was just starting
for the rear from the woods facing
Torcy. Suddenly a terrific machine
gun and artillery barrage was sent
from the German lines and narrow
files of the enemy could be seen ad-
vancing. Sergeant NagaZyna placed
his men back on the line. He moved
about them, shouting orders, directing
the fire of the hard fighting marines
against the Cncoming Huns. There
was brief sDasm of combat. Then
the attacking waves broke and ran
for cover. The Huns had been re-
pulsed, largely thru the efforts of Ser
geant Nagazyna, and the marine. as a
result has been recommended by his
superior officer for bravery. He is a
son of Stephen Nagazyna of Babylon,
