Yes, sir! 1 don't mean desperate, hard

little too tight and the shears would have

UTN time of war prepare FOR peace"
L Innumerable thinkers and doors
arc already preparing or meditating
preparation. Not few of these are oc-
cupied with the greatest immediate prob
lem that is likely TO present itself after
German imperialism has been smashed:
namely, what can we do with the boys
when they come home?
There will be millions of them. At least
four-fifths will return; as they went,
through the port of New York. They
will march up Fifth avenue grandly. The
city will turn itself wrong side out to show
them what il thinks of them. Perhaps
they will eDtrain for Washington and a
mighty review, calculated to dwarf all
memories of the historic one which fol-
lowed APPROXIMATION.
They will be paid off and mustered out.
Each man will have one uniform To keep
and handful of money burning holes in
its pockets. SO far, so good. And then?

tions. The Secretary of the Interior
