King Albert has returned to his
capital after an absence Of more than
four years. during which time he has
been engaged in the important bust
ness of whipping the Hun. Doubtless
he was glad to see the old home town
again, ana the welcome it gave him in
dicates that the people were delighted
20 see him. Albert has shown the
world that he is no common plug king.
He went out and led his army in bat
tie like the kings of old. He probably
will be one Of the last monarchs to be
separated from his Job There are
many things worse than a good king,
especially If he prove himself to be
useful as well as ornamental. 1t is not
due to such men as the ruler of Bel
GUM that there has arisen world
wide demand for democratic form OF
government. The civilized .world4owes
to Belgium and her king a debt which
1t can never wholly pay.

INTO NATIONAL GUARDS
That Is To Be Disposition OF Home
Guard BattaliOns.

=
The ultimate disposal of the Ninth
battalion of the Kansas state guard is
evidenced by the organization OF a To-
cal company of infantry for the Fifth
regiment of the new Kansas national
guard. That Company A of the Ninth
battalion will form the nucleus of the
new company is evidenced by the fact
that more than thirty members of
Company A signed up to enlist in the
national guard last Thursday night at
their regular drill.
Federal statutes provide that, In
times of peace, a state cannot main
tain troops other than those provided
for national defense, and the organiza-
ton of the new regiment makes the
disposal of several battaliohS of the
state guard simple matter. Company
A will form the nucleus of the local
company and a sufficient number of
men from the remaining three COM
panies of the Ninth battalion will be
drawn to complete the new company.

The new guard has been promised
full equipment, rifle practice once a
month and an encampment once a
year. 1t is probable that the new
company will be completed within a
few weeks

Politeness i'm the Homo Circle

Politeness in the Homo Circlc.-1. q
The little four-year-old accidentally
spilled some of his cocoa on the nice
clean white table cloth. His mother
reproved him sharply for being piggy
and sloppy and sent him from the
table -
The little fellow was crushed with
modification. and as he climbed down
from his high chair he turned to his
mother and sobbed out:
'.-Why don't you treat me polite. like
was company, and say that it doesn't
make any difference"
And we grown-ups looked at each
other aghast, and some one murmured.
"Out of the mouths of babes and suck
lings," for the child'S-hand had pulled
aside the curtain and shown us the
skeleton in the closet of practically
every household.
It's lack OF politeness. It's lack of
plain, ordinary, common civility. 1t
Grafton that We show to the most cas-
ual strangers. That is the real thing
that is. the matter with domesticity.
That is what makes marriage a fail
ure. That is why we say there is no
place like home, and thank God for it.
That Is why husbands and wives strain
on the bond that ties them together,
and why brothers and sisters scatter
! to the fourSends of the earth. and the
sons and daughters who havesto stay
at home with their parents regard
themselves. and are popularity regard
ed, as martyr.
For it is only too sadly true that
there is nobody on earth who treats
you with the same degree of brutality
that your own family does There is
nobody else who is SO rude to you, or
who shows so little regard for your
sensibilities. Your worst enemy would
not think Of offering you the insults
that are freely rendered to you by
those who really love you.
! No popularity of human nature is
so inexplicable as this. Why our near
est and dearest should daily stab>us to
the heart with speeches leaving
wounds that never heal; why the
| hands that we trust should bare our
weaknesses to the public and point
out our defects, nobody knows.
1t is merely true that there seems
to be a general impression that the
| family circle is the only place IN the
| world where people can dispense with
the ordinary decencies Of life in deal
| ing with each other, and in which ev-
| cry season is an open season for each
member of the household to go hunt
! ing for the others little faults aaud Pc
culiaritieS.

MISERY IS FELT
Austrian Poorer Classes Feel
Hunger Now.
Food, Fuel, Clothes Are High
and Scarce.

by the ASSOcldtcu AHCbsy
Vienna, Nov. 25.-Difficuities at
tending the process of returning to a
peace footing after a great war are
illustrated here. Munition factories
have been shut down, throwing out OF
work hundreds of thousands OF men
and women, who have little prospecss
of obtaining employment because OF
the lack of coal. Cold weather has AL
ready begun and snow has fallen In
Vienna.
While the streets af the city are
bright and the theaters and opera are
open, well-dressed people are walk
ing or using street cars. as cabmen
demand from two to three dollars a
ride. This is all on the surface. There
is untold misery in the poorer quar-
tiers, with constant cry for bread, OF
which there is provided half loaf a
week for each person. Prices here are
probably theehighest to be found in
Europe and seem fantastic. The price
of a shirtwaist is 500, stockings cost
IS and a suit of clothes $3.50. Tho
profiteers are also hit, the industry OF
weaving paper into material for the
clothing having virtually collapsed.
This material which once sold for 50
a yard. is now \being dumped on the
market at any price.
Tredc. for Coal.
Vienna Is making desperate efforts
to get food and coal, which the Czecho-
Slovaks are said to have offered, pro-
TTided they are granted the western
strip of old Bohemia adjoining old Ba-
varia.

BACK TO. PEACE BASIS.

With the war over American indus
try is impatient for the triumphs of
the new peace. swelling chorus is
being raised in Washington to hasten
the process of readjustmeht and to cut
loose the contracts for virtually use
less war production which continue
to tie up so much valuable material
and plant capacity. Many manufac-
turers, convinced that sound prosper
ity thereby will be restored the more
quickly, aim to get on peace basis
at the earliest possible time. Calm
study of the armistice terms to Ger
many which effectively strip that ma
ton of war power has stimulated this
movement
Washington apparently is hardening
to this state of opinion. A quick re-
adjustment of priority regulations has
been made which retains ship and
railroad demands at the top Of the
list, but subordinates munitions re-
cent restrictions on the supply of steel
for industrial use has been lifted.
Much of the ban on building construc-
ton has been removed and various
public and private enterprises have
been freed of curtailment-
While under the. creating laws, says
the Iron Trade Review, many of the
present forms of governmental control
of industry may last for many months.
it is quite probable. that this regula-
ton gradually will be revised as de-
velopments require in order to enlarge
the free play of supply and demand.
The situation is moving so rapidly that
it is difficult to forecast even the i'm
mediate future.

American army by Industries instead
Of by military units follows the meth
