MY BOY IN FRANCE

Tom won't be home this Christmas.
He's somewhere oversee,
Part of the valiant millions who
fight to make men free;
But though we think and wonder
about him "Over There"
And send across the waters o. beni-
son of prayer.
We shall be brave and CHEEKY, for
he would have It So
And in the midst of Yuletide he will
be glad to know
That though we miss him always
and dream of him the while,
We, too, can act like soldiers who
do their part-and smile!
Tom won't be home this Christmas.
l shall not set his place,
And though my eyes may hunger to
gaze upon his face,
No moisture shall bedim them, but
rather they shall shine
With glory in the service of this big
son of mine;
And though he faces danger q
thousand leagues away,
Our hearts shall send message
that nothing can delay
A wish of Merry Christmas" which
he will understand
Who fights for right and justice
within distant land.
Tom won't be home this Christmas.
But there's thought that leaps
Triumphant, in his absence, across
the surging deeps,
The thought that he is giving, as
Christ himself might give,
His stalwart. youth and vigor that
faith and truth may live.
With eyes that were a-twinkle, and
lips with laughter curled,
He sailed with our crusaders who
went. to save the world
So we shall smile our blithest until
his work is done;
But, oh, God keep and guard you,
my SONNY sonny sonl
-Berton Braley, in The Peoples
Home Journal.

DRECISELY what would be the
economic meaning of surrender

DRECISELY what would be the
economic meaning of surrender
by Germany of Alsace-Lorraine
and of her overseas coloRies is a
question involving other ESnsidera-
tions. The French peoples passionate
longing for recovery of the lost
provinces" has been pre-eminently
matter of national sentiment. 1t
would undoubtedly have been as
strong IL the provinces were only
mountain country or grazing land.
But Germany's angry unwillingness
to discuss restoration has had a rec
ognized basis which was very diff
ferent.
When Alsace-Lorrain was torn
from France in 1871, the district cut
no paramount figure in industry.
Even as late as 1892, its produc-
ton of iron was half q million tons
below that of Prussia. But when
this present war began, three-fourths
of the German empires iron ore was
produced in Alsace-Lorraine; the
coal output of the province was one
fourth of the empires total, and in
manufacture of iron it surpassed
any state of Germany. It is not easy

FAULTS AND BENEFITS

T I.SEwHERE to-day the Tele-
n graph publishes a diagram of
Market Square as 1t would ap-
pear with the proposed isle of safety
In the center, The diagram shows'
First-ThRt by this plan tho road
way between curb and carlino around
the Square would be but twenty-nine
feet wide, ridiculously narrow for a
street of this Importance.
second---That vehicular traffic
would have to circle the entire
Square. instead of cutting across
through the center of the Square
along the lines of Market street as
at present, thus increasing the con-
gestion on the roadways along the
sides of the Square.
Third-That pedestrians to get
on street cars or reach the comfort
station wouldh to cross thorough
fares much more crowded than at
present, and the street car tracks, in
addition, to get to the isle Of safety.
They would be perfecly safe once
there, but in more danger than at
present while getting there.
These are some of the faults.
What are the benefits?
Nobody has as yet come forward
with any.
The Telegraph is not opposed to
comfort stations for the public. Nor
is it wilfully standing in the way of
a public improvement. But it be-
lieves the plans as presented for the
Market Square changes to be fun
wrong and would not
only not remedy an already bad con-
dition, but would only aggravate it.
The facts being known, it is for
Council to pass upon them.

PROHIBITION DIVIDENDS

[From the Indianapolis News1
People used to glance at a stag
gering man and go on about their
business. There has been prohibit
ton in Indiana for several months
now, and men walk without stag
gerlng or reeling. Seeing drunken
man now is seeing q curiosity.
Drunken women are still rarer.
Some intoxicating liquor Is sold in
Indianapolis in spite of efforts OF
the police department, but one
person,
Surely these dividends from pro-
hIbitlon are worthwhile. Reducing
intoxicatlon to the minimum means
more legitimate business and less
money wasted, 1t means happier
homes and better manhood and
wOmanhood. The loss OF saloon
revenue Is not an excessive price to
nay for such results.

NEEDLESSLY ALARMED

~ ECRETARY REDF1ELD occa-
sionalIy wanders far afield in
~ his speeches before trade bodies
Yesterday in Atlantic City he ad-
vised businessmen to go slow in
yielding to the temptation to lay
rash hands on wages" Perfectly
proper! But we do not believe any
such warning was required. The wise
employer wants his men to be we'll
paid and contented. His last wish
is to reduce wages, for wage reduc-
tions mean that business is poor
and profits going down; that en-
ployes will be dissatisfied and leave,
or become discouraged and inefti-
cient. Only the foolish employer
would attempt to "lay rash hands
on wages" at this time.
Reductions may be forced upon
some lines of work, but there is no
sign of any serious let-up at this
time and certainly the prices of COM
modities must come down before
there could be considered any serious
readjustments in the rate of pay.
To be sure, some of the highly
paid war industry workers will find
themselves back at their old peace
time jobs with smaller wages than
they received in their temporary
places of employment, but they un-
derstood that when they entered the
munitions plants. This, however, will
not be general. There is admittedly
a tremendous market for steel prod
ucts, which means prosperity for
the railroads and the ore and coal
mines. For some years, at least,
America must feed the world and
our textile mills must clothe large
part of it. These are factors of
fundamental importance and point
strongly to a prolonged period of
intense industrial activity, following
a brief interval of unsettled condi-
tions while the nation adjusts itself
to the ways of peace after four years
of war. Good business and high
wages go hand in hand. The modern
businessman does not cut wages
when the balance is on the right
Happy New Year and likes his old
side of the ledger. Secretary Red
field is needlessly alarmed.
