"The Martial Adventures of
 Henry And Me"

are the political changes in England that after the war, it is expected conceded is hardly too strong a word, that the first political cabinet to arise after the coalition cabinet goes, will. be a labor cabinet. Certainly if labor does not actually dominate the British gov ernment. labor will control it indirectly. and the labor gains during the war will not be lost. Wages in England, and for that matter in most of the allied countries are now being regulated by state ordinance and not by competitive rates. The labor market has passed with the slave market. Wages are based not upon supply and demand in labor, but upon the cost of what seems to be a decent standard of subsistence. The change, of course, is fundamental. It marks a new order in the world.
 The Control of Industry
 And the labor party of England re- gently adopted a program which pro- vides not merely for the decent living wage for workmen, independent of the labor market" but also provides for the democratic control of industry; na- tional railways, national mines, nation- al electricity, national housing. and na- tional land tenure. And as if that were not enough the demands of the labor party include the permanent control of the prices of all the necessaries of life, without relation to profits and inde- pendent of supply and demand. Such things have bees. done during the war and in a crisis. Labor demands that they be done permanently. And still further to press home it's claims upon society, British labor demands a sys tenn of taxation levied conspicuously and frankly at the rich to bring their incomes and their holdings only to a moderate rise above the common level "a rise in some relation to the actual differences of mind and heart and sou and service between men, and not z difference based on birth and inherit ance and graft and grabbing. It is of course, revolution. But labor now has political rights in England, ant has time and again demonstrated tha, it has a majority in every part of the United Kingdom, and it is closely or ganized and rather determined, ant probably will have it's way. In France and in Italy where for ten years the socialists have more or less controlled assemblies and named cabinet, de mands like those of the English art De1nS nndOe.
 Exit the Old Social Order
 And when the Allies win it will not be so much change in geography tha shall mark off the world of the nine teent1h century from the world of tn, twentieth. as the fundamental socia and economic changes in society. Tn, hungry guns out there at the iron have eaten away the whole social orde that was.
 For conditions in this war are new in the world. In every other war, sol
 diers have dreamed high dreams O | their rewards. But they have no taken them-chiefly because thei dreams were impractical, somewhat be cause the dreams tha twere practica were not held by majority; or t, some extent because if they were hel, | by a majority the majority had n power Now-even Henry admitted l this is no mere theory--we have nev condition. In Europe for two decade
 the labor problem has been careful, | thought out. Labor is in a numerica majority and the ma jority has poitica | power and political purpose. Labo
 has been asking and getting about tn same things in every country. It ha
