NO DULL TIMES ARE NECESSARY.

Considerable apprehension has been expressed lest the
cessation of hosttes precpitate sudden canceng of
government war orders without allowing time for the
industries engaged upon them to readus their business
Much of this fear is unnecessary.
In the first place under armistice mere
y with the possibility of renewal Of hostilities Until
this danger is past and peace is definitely assured
must maintain armies fully equipped and ready for
action. This will insure continuance for time of
manufactures large SCALE and afford breath
ing space for the making of new plans.
In the second place. Mr. Baruch of the war industries
board is authority for the statement that plans have long
been under consideration in Washington for assisting
industry back to peace basis His board together with
the labor department. has already completed plans for
bringing our men back in such detachments may be
absorbed into industry without greatly disturbing it.
Government contracts not to be cancelled whole

time restrictions to the purchase and sale of supplies
will be lifted Assistance will be given in getting produc

tive plans carried out there will be extensive fnanc

The transition from work to peace production
basis should be accomplished with small loss and per-

touch with the plans of the government and there is
fair unprejudced cooperation between these two and
between each of them and labor.

ing about in the open. In ore place, in
the middle of soggy, shell shattered
field, card or crap game was going
on, while other men were digging a dug
out. At another place the line ran thru
a little valley. Not a soul was in sight
but small American flag was stuck
in the ground to indicate the front
line. At most points along the line we
traversed, only a few Germans were
visible. These evidently were privates
They were lounging in villages and
along the roads, smoking ana talking.
Almost all of them waved greeting
at us. None carried gun or equipment
of any kind. So far as we could see no
artillery or material remained
TRUCKS Busy
At one point, several miles in the
rear Of the German lines, we glimpsed
a number of trucks hurrying toward
Conflans. Farther back we saw huge
fires smudging the sky with columns
of black smoke.
From one place we counted eight
fires in the direction Of Conflans,

The bravest battle that was ever

Shall tell you where and when9
On the maps of the world you will

Twas fought by the mothers of men.
Nay, not woth cannon, or battle-shot,
With sword OF nobler pen;
Nay, not with eloquent word or

From the mouths of wonderful men,
But deep in well-ed-up woman IS

OF woman that would not yield,
But bravely, silently bore her part
Lo! there is that battlefield
No marshaling troop, no bivouac song;
But OF these battles they last So long
From babyhood to the grave!
Yet faithful still as a bridge of stars,
No banners to gleam and wave!
Fights on, and on, in the endless wars,
She fights in her welled-up town
Then silent, unseen, goes downl

And soldier to shout and praise,
I tell YOU the kingliest victories fought
Are fought in these silent ways!

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason
STRENUOUS TIMES.

These be the times that try men'ssouls we're always
digging up our rolls and stripping off the bills; as fast
as can earn the coin it has to go for steak and o for
pantaoons and pills. The price has rsen," is the cry,
wheneer fellow goes to buy hymnbook or hen; the
war has made of trade botch, and the prices rise
notch and they will rise again. These be the times that
try mems souls the doughnuts mostly holes the
pies are thin and pae most things made of substitutes
and there are wohOes in the fruits for which we blow
our kale pound of butter costs us now as much as
would have bought cow, in bamy times of peace and
when we buy it comes with warning voice and
muffed drums and says Conserve the grease" These
be the times that try mems souls; cannot touch with
enfoo poes the price of things need the stand off
at the store banned and all the wealth we have on hand
is merely chicken feed And yet as pursue my way,
do not see crouch all day. or hear plantive whine;
the boys seem glad to stand the g and all the hard luck
makes them laugh instead of bringing brine You cannot
whip bunch like u.s. in times Of peace rant and cuss,
and paw around like SIM but when need to wear yoke
we view the blamed thing as joke, and wear it with
grin.

saw great column of fire and white
smoke shoot up and drift away with
the wind.
| In little hamlets just behind ths
German lines, German soldiers were
sitting in the sunshine, but no horses,
trucks OF other means of transportation
were visible
Once we saw six Germons in viii
lage within the American lines, sur
rounded by group of doughboys. Pos
sibly they were recently taken pris-
toner's.
Bonfires in Fields
At many places in the lines the Ans
orleans were standing in the open fields
around bonfires. Some wer, laundering
and their clothes were laid on the
ground to dry We noticed one man
washing himself in brook. At another
place a burial party was digging three
graves on knoll overlooking the lines
At the foot of the hill unit evident
ly was preparing for inspection. All
its equipment was neatly laid out in
rows.
For several miles in one region we
flew over section that was pock-
marked with shell holes that were lit
orally rim to rim. There were clusters
of farm houses which were mere heaps
of stone. The whole region was scene
of unutterable desolation. The roads
were cut up and there were smashed
trucks and gun carriages in the ditehes.
Lying in the mud were dead horses,
their legs sticking up at grotesque an
gles A thousand and one different
kinds of war materials were lying
where they had been abandoned
Villages Shattered
We looked down on three villages
which were almost unbelievably shat
tered. Not living thing was visible
in them. Close by the lines was forty
acre wood. Every limb was stripped
from the trees and the trunks were
mangled. The whole landscape was
criss-crosscd with freshly made zig
gag trenches. We saw two deserted
German strong points on hill. They
were circular affairs, ringed with many
concrete pill boxes in the center. The
entire field was churned up with shell
holes, while lines of wire were smash
ed flat
Turning back from the lines, we cir
eled over Verdun. The streets were
alive with activity But the only bit
Of color in the famous ruined French
city was Tri-color on the spire OF
the cathedral.
From Verdun we climbed to an alti-
tude Of 1000 feet As We made our
way back to the hangar we saw doz-
ems of tiny, winding ribbons Of road
filled with lines of motor trucks car
rying up supplies to the dormant war
machine.

WEAKNESS OF MILITARISM.

Now it appears that 100000 American soldiers were
engaged is the Argonne SECTOR where the downfall OF
the German armies sealed Over difficult terrain,
against the best and freshest troops that Hndenburg
could marshal they drove steadily forward until the
powerful defense lines crumbed and the German leaders
saw they must meet crushing defeat or surrenderand
surrender in of armisce their choice. We had
always thought that if the Americans sent million
men to the 'front.' in compact SECTOR and instructed
them to go to Berlin not enough Germans could be station
ed in front of them to stop their progressand the oper
ations of threequarters of million pretty we'll
tabshes this fact Also is proved that the professional
soldier is match for the man who fights of his
votion and with an independence of thought and action
that is foreign to the accepted standards of the mtarsts
of any country Many of the Americans who opposed and
defeated the picked Prussian veterans in the Argonne
were fresh from the training camps This fact should
mot be matter of surprise to Americans who recall what
General Jacksons Kentucky rflemen did to Welngtons
veteranshe conquerors of Napoleon---at New Orleans
In fact history is filled with similar instances of the de-
feat of soldier puppets by real marshaed to defend

therein lies the weakness of mitarism which pins its
