ECONOMIC RY-GO-ROUND.

An unusually clear grasp Of the labor
situation is displayed by n writer in a
bulletin issued by New England farm
agency which is trying to bring the city
man and the country man together for
mutual ADVANTAGE. The workingman
wants pleasant place to spend "A sum
mcr vacation" where he can get hotel
board. United States Government hours
OF work and minition workers wages.
The farmer wants an old-fashioned
hand who will work from sun up to sun
down and satisfied with wages he feels
able TO pay. and there amt no such
animal in existence any more. After
some experience in trying 10 reconcile
the irreconcilahle, the writer concludes
there Is only ono way out the farmer must
Use less efficient labor and the farm
laborcr must accept farm conditions.
We cannot all be government con
tractors or munition workers, neither can
we remain immune 10 the influence of the
elect There is this compcnsatinr thought,
however, that IN the adjustments which
are bound to follow the restoration OF
peace. the humble employer or emplove
will not have 81 many steps 10 retrace 10

Now would be the psychological mo-
ment for a tremendous, smashing blow

game of making your enemy fight IN two
places not Of his own choosing az the
same time, principle Of strategy as old
as warfare itself
History is fairly rocking with instanC c
of 1t, but the most noteworthy example IN
latter-Snv campaigns was that afforded
by Lord Roberts advance upon Pretoria
during the Bocr war. which forced the
soldiers OF old Dom Paul Kruger to try
holding on with their seige of Ladysmith
at the same time they endeavored TO
stem Roberts march north 10 the Boer
capital Their failure to do two things
at once resulted in the total collapse of
their organized resistance. Facetious
military critics at the time called the
movement 'Bobs Dutch ROLL since it
was something like the Dutch roll of our
skating days.
Well, here's hoping, at any rate.
