GU. g. Employment Service Ruiletin)
 There is not the slightest cause for any feeling of alarm or uneaSiness lest the change from a war to a peace footing be accompanied by unem- pIoynent and misery The release of soldiers and civilian war workers will be conducted gradually in order that fighters and munitions workers may be directed to other cmploymcnts as they arc released.
 Tho War Industries Board has an- nounccd that it's policy will be to gradually lift various restrictions and curtailments- and will encourage the resumption and extension of peace time industrial operations.
 The war department will not re- tease soldiers faster than they car 'o absorbed and will not cancel contract cts without previous consultation with the War Industries Board and the De- pertinent of Labor.
 Chairman Hurley, of the Shipping Board says th2t the shipbuiIding in dustry will continue ill full force and that 100000 more men will be needed.
 The department of agriculture and the food administration are calling the attention of the country to the vital need of great crops next year and the finding of sufficient labor for their planting and harvesting.

England Honors July and Now America Will Pay Tribute to
 Great Britain Day

New York, Nov. 26.-For the pur- pose of paying tribute to Great Britain for her splendid achievements in this war, the American Defense Society today announces that its branches throughout the United States will actively help in celebrating British Day on December 7. Charles Steward Dawson, chairman of the SOciety's board of trustees, has ap- pealed to the American people to re- member what Great Britain has suffered and endured in this war, and it is urged that all patriotic Ameri- cans cooperate in Americas Tribute to Britain"

After Peace, What?
(knickerbocker Press. )

The terms of armistice amount to an assurance of peace, but it would be d mistake to suppose that we are out of the woods. Greater tasks than ever now confront us, and they will be moro arduous for the absence of the glamour of warfare. There must be years of police duty, en- forcing the terms of armistice and peace and assuring order in half the War-torn world. For this duty, American soldiers are first in line.
 Then there is the war work for our soldiers who will be far more in need of help and comfort in these coming times of relaxed discipline than they have been in the past. And then there is the work of recon- struction--in the foreign field, mak- ing France and Belgium and Serbia whole again; getting Germany on it's feet, and particularly restoring Rus sia a chance to live and breathe and be a normal state-and at home Q

PERSHING FOR PRESIDENT.

It was bound to come. Everyone from the newsboy on the curb to the banker at his mahogany desk knew that before long a boom would be launched to elect General John J. Pershing President of the United Columbus, Ohio, yesterday by an or ganization known as the Pershing Re- publican club.
 Democrats will be puzzled at this action of the Ohio Republicans as it is generally believed in this section of the nation that General Pershing is a disciple of Thomas Jefferson. 4 few weeks ago a reader of New York paper wrote to the editor in a fever of anxiety "WilI you please tell me General Pershings politics?" The editor replied: General Pershing is 100 per cent. American" The re- buke was well merited as that oc- cured previous to the signing of the armistice and before anyone in Amer lea knew the conclusion of hostili- ties was near. But today the situa- ton is entirely different. The major portion of the military operation in Europe has been accomplished and it Is relevant to discuss the virtue of a boom to elect the leader of our sol diars to the highest office at the be- stoWal of the people.
 There is no denying that a strong Pershing undercurrent has been mo- ticeable for several months. The United States has experienced an ad- ninist.ation under soldier president the honor being granted him because of his achievements on the battle field rather than because he was qual- comDarison with other administra- tiong his discharge of the office was not considered a brilliant feat. Gen. cral Pershing has won the love and respect Of every man, woman and child in America and this is founded on more than mere hero worship. As 8 military leader he has been thor oughly efficient. On the few occa- sions he has been brought in contact with statesmen he has shown states manlike qualities. He has likewise been diplomatic. Next to President Wilson he has been given the most responsible position in an America at war. His utterances have proved him to be high minded. At all times he has been everything that a gentle

 Had it not been for Great Britain's armies, he adds, Germany today might have been conqueror of the world.
