CAMP DODGE MEN
LEAVE FOR HOMES
FIRST OF MEN RELEASED SINCE
THE CAMP WAS ESTABLISHED
IL MONTHS AGO.

The first of the Camp Dodge boys
to be released from military service
since the big cantonment was estab-
lished in September, 1917, left Mon
day for their homes under the new
decentralization ',order. Those who
left Monday were limited service
men, members of the development
battalion and from the depot brig
ade. Only 265 were mustered out.
but it is expected that with their or
ganization in working order they will
be discharged at the rate of at least
500 per day.
The men are given as thorough a
physical examination when they are
mustered out as when they were in
Quoted and il is expected that they
will leave in as good health at least
as when they came in. AS a general
rule the examination reveals that
their general health and physique
has been improved.
The mon ars paid off as they are
discharged and transportation to
their place OF enlistment is allowed.
AS the men are no longer in military
service following their discharge at
the camp they are at liberty TO follow
their own wishes after leaving camp.
Since Sept. s. 1917. when the first
troops of drafted men reached Camp
Dodge, more than 10000 men have
been mustered into service there.
The Nineteenth division, which is
the one now at Camp Dodge. must
be pretty well demobolized before the
old Eighty-eighth comes back and ac-
cording TO the dispatches from Wash
ingtbn that is TO be soon In fact.
General March. chief OF staff. has an
nounced that at least part of the
Eighty-eighth will be sent back from
overseas at once. 1t is presumed the
men will be brought TO Camp Dodge
and mustered out of service there.
The 163rd artillery brigade. made
up of the 337th. 33Sth and 339th ar
tillery regiments. is expected to start
back soon as they will not be used in
the army of occupation overseas.
This brigade was trained at Camp
Dodge. spending almost year in
training. leaving here in August and
starting overseas early in Septem-
Der. According to letters received
here the men have been in south CEN
trail France since their arrival over
there.

the farmers will continue to be pros
porous and it is not anticipated they
will hoard their wealth.
THE percentage of casualties in
this territory in the war is compare
lively small. AS a result The coun-
try will not be depressed by such
universal sorrow as must exist in
England, France and Belgium. as
must exist even in Canada whose
men were in the great fray soon
after the opening of hostilties. The
people are jubliant over victory and
peace and this Joy will find express

BUSINESS OF THE FUTURE.

Ben Davidson, chairman of the
Woodbury. County Council of De-
Tense and owner of one of Sioux
City's largest department stores and
other extensive business interests,
is looking forward to a period of
wonderful prosperity for agricultur-
al sections of the middle west. Talk
ing of the outlook and speaking from
his wide experience both private and
public Mr.. Davidson said:
Sioux City and in fact the entire
middle west is entering upon peri
Cd of prosperity such as has never
been seen. Although the Missouri
valley country may have suffered
somewhat because of lack of war
contracts the question of the read
justment of labor will be simplified
because, unlike the east, this section
will not have to deal with thousands
of workers who will be turned out
of munition factories and shipping
yards.
"The one factor that. above all
others. assures unprecedented good
times for this middle west country is
the maintenance of uniformly high

Already the cry has been raised
among some OF the i'll advised support
ers Of President Wilson that nepuDli-
can Senators, Representatives and par
ty managers are endeavOring to inject
partisanship into the conduct Of the
war The charge is false. The motive
that actuates 1t is plain, but the facts
in the case are known to the country
and cannot be hidden.
The author and intrOducer OF the
bill TO create a War Cabinet is Senator
George 2. Chamberlain Of Oregon, a
Democrat, whose party loyalty has
raised him 10 leadership in the Senate
and who occupies the supremely i'm
pOrtant post Of chairman Of the Com
mittee on Military Affairs. His mem
bership in the Democratic party IS Of
long duration: he has been public
office holder practically without in
tepruption since 1877, twice Governor
Of his State, and a Senator OF the Uni
ted States since 1908 having been sent
TO that body the first time by a Re
publican Legislature, which acted In
obedience TO the will Of the electors OF
Oregon, recorded in a primary, and the
oANNhh AAAAAI ny NAAA RN'fA' 49,
constitutional amendment providing for
the direct election OF Senators.
VIII any sane man accuse George
E. Chamberlain OF assailing Demo-
cratic executive officials to give aid and
comfort to the Republican party?
The attacks that have been made on
the Food Administration as an agency
Of the Government and on its head,
Herbert C. Hoover, had their origin in
the mind Of James A. Reed Of Missouri
a Democrat elected to the Senate in
1911 to succeed a Republican and re-
elected TO succeed himself in 1916. His
devotion to the fortunes OF the Demo-
cratic party has never been questioned.
His occupancy of the chalrmanship OF
the Committee on Manufactures comes
to him through his party regularity.

THE FERMENT IN AUSTRIA
lFrom the New York Tribune)

Austrian news OF the last few days
has been impressive by its volume
rather than its quality We have had
long dispatches about extensive strikes,
with many hazy generalities; but this
news all came from Switzerland and
other neutral countries. There was
nothing direct from Vienna itself, bar
ring a single brief alluson TO a pass
age In the "Arbelter leitung," a Socia-
list organ, about appeals 10 workers TO
allow the resumption Of railway traf-
&C. The Vienna news was, in fast, so
vague and meagre that IL was received
with distrust in many quarters The
Italian press, as indicated in an OIL
cial dispatch from Rome. treated the
whole story OF the strike as zone Of
the able manoeuvres Of the enemy"
and the official view IN London was at
first much the same
IL seems evident, however, that un-
usual ferment and unrest prevail at
this time in Austria. Whatever be the
facts behind the reports Of strikes
there is evidence enough of undoubted
authenticity going to prove that the
Austrian people are deeply discomfort
ed over the disappointment OF their
peace hopes. The resignation OF the
Won Seydler Cabinet. reported several
days ago. may be taken as one effect
OF the war weariness that has grown
so pronounced on the Danube. More
over, the resignation Of the Hungarian
Cabinet was also cabled last week, but
nothing further has been heard about
IL. In fact the lack Of direct news from
the Dual Monarchy suggests the CON
clusion that the Vienna and Budapest
authorities are taking good care TO
conceal their troubles from the out
side world.
This news about strikes and political
demonstrations has already been util-
lied by optimistic American editors as
the basis for predicting an early break
down of Austria. Some hopeful spirits
already see the promise Of a separate
peace, or even a revolution Did not the
Russian revolution begin in hunger?
And did not the Austrian workmen
strike because their flour ration had
been cut DOWN. We are sorry not TO
be able TO encourage fanciful writers

whatever we call ourselves-Demo-
Gratis or Republicans, Administration
alists or anti-Administrationi Both
parties in Congress have backed up to
a sufficient extent all war measures OF
vital Importance. But It is no special
cause for self-congratulation on their
part that they have done so. They
merely performed an obvious duty. II
is no time now to partition credit
or dscredit-along party lines. Senator
Stone talks the language OF a politician
who still clings to a lost standard Of
values.
The war has brought In new values.
What the country would like TO see
brought about in Washington Is the
creation Of a war majority in the two
houses Of Congress and an Executive
war machine, both emancipated from
fears that one party is going to profit
more and another party to profit less
from what IS done to win the war and
may be thus helped OF hindered In
winning the Presidency In 1920. II

TIE NEED IS PRESSING.

THE Rev. 7. Davis Preston, General Secretary Of the
Delaware State Sunday School Association who. be-
cause Of his recent connection with young peoples work
in Nova Scotia and Halifax. has manifested deep in
teres in THE EVENING JOURNALS Halifax Relief Fund
has received news recently from the stricken city.
The conditions there, learns hearrendng Since
the terrible tragedy occurred there has been time to
trace the individual Of suffering and loss. The
more they come to light the sad the calamity is
made.
One learns Of such a a family Of young
children whose mother has been practically disabled for
life. She has almost lost her sight and will be of little
help again to the children who so much need her The
father of this family must work from early morning till
late at night and be Of little help in the home outside
supporting IT, The need for such is for the father
to be able to hire TO do the work formerly
done by the mother
This family was compelled because Of circumstances
TO take rent in of what II anordthe land
lord feeling he must get his full rent.
There many sadder than this. These relate
particularly to the children Scores OF children have
trace of their parents Parents have trace Of their
children. 1t is said that there is little hope that many
OF them viii be united Cases Of two
Of large families and Of many others
so manned that they will be dependnts long they
live
Some might ask how It is that parents and children
s looking for each other long after the calamity
This is explained by the fact that bodies still in the
ruins and the excitement Of the hour Of tragedy many
left and taken out Of the city.
Mr. Preston is naturally interested in the situation
IL effects the churches and Sunday schools Some
churches, he learns, depleted in membership
through members being killed that It is doubtful II they
be carried organizations One pastor lost all
his family church Of the Roman Catholic faith had
almost its entire membership wiped out
The appeal Mr.. Preston made TO the schools OF the
State for relief funds has borne fruit especially
from schools that numerically and financially are counted
small That many did respond is due no doubt
TO the contributions many schools made to the
Armenian relief We trust this calamity is not yet too
far removed not to appeal to American hearts as we
think Of these needy children, and that this fresh news
win inspire s further effort on the part of the Sunday
schools
Mr.. Preston takes this opportunity Of again thanking
heartily the schools that contributed and trusts
that II there schools s contemplating making con-
trbutions, however small, they will do so right away
before THE EVENING JOURNAL fund is closed
Thus far the fund amounts TO si,i5396

Reed of assailing officials OF Demo-
cratic Administration TO give aid and
comfort to the Republican Party2
Senator William j. Stone Of Mis-
souri,. TO whom belongs whatever dis
tinction may attach to the delivery Of
the first violent partisan speech ut
tered in the Senate since the declara-
tlon of war, who is first to impugn the
good faith OF Senators in Congress, is
a Democrat whose antecedents require
no retelling. Since he entered politics
as prosecuting attorney OF Vernon
county, Missouri, forty-flve years ago,
he has not inhaled or eXhaled a poll
tical breath that was not Democratic;
he has not taken one political step
that was not counselled by his under
standing Of the Democratic party's de-
sires and needs.
VIII any sane man accuse William
]. Stone Of making a political assault
on any man in public or private life
for the purpose of giving aid and com
fort to the Republican party2
From Senator Chamberlain and Sena-
tor Reed have come the most effective
and sustained attacks on the admin
istrative processes applied by the VIII
son Administration to the management
of the war that have emanated from
any men today in public life.
From Senator Stone has come the
bitterest partisan assault on the poll
tical representatives Of half the Amer
lean electorate that has been pro
nounced by any man In public life
since the United States Of America
stirred TO defend itself.
Senators Chamberlain, Reed and
stone are Democrats OF demonstrated,
unquestioned party loyalty.
In the face Of these facts, by what
legerdemain Of reasoning, by what fol-
ly Of illogical assertion, can any man
hope to prove that the dissatisfaction
apparent in the legislative department
at Washington is Of Republican origin
or Of merely partisan signincance7

in following out that analogy. II leads
quickly upon treacherous ground; for,
although there have been considerable
desertions Of Czech and South-Slav sol
diers, there is little In the recent his
tory OF the Dual Monarchy to warrant
the expectation that a revolution Is
impending. A revolutionary movement
OF the Austrian Socialists is. OF course
out OF the question; they are not
strong enough, and their more moder-
ate wing Is supporting the government.
Here, already, the Russian analogy
breaks down.
OF more serious import 1t seems to
us, is the accumulatng evidence OF
friction between Austria and Germany.
Last week the Vienna "Fremdenblatt,
which has close relations with the gov
ernment, sharply attacked the German
annexationists, and plainly intimated
that they were preiudicing Austria S
interests by encouraging anneXatlonlst
plans at Brest-LitOvsk. Thereupoh furl-
Gus articles in the Pan-German press
and the "Vossische Zeitung," which is
not Pan-German, even reminded the
Austrian press that IL was endangering
the alliance with Germany. Moreover,
when Count Czernin few days ago
returned TO Vienna he at once held a
conference with the young Emperor
after which he sent off two high gov
ernment officials to Berlin. Evidently
there is friction between the two gov
ernmenls, as there is also growing up
between the two peoples.
Recently Count Czernin asserted that
Austria would help Germany in Tight
ing for the retention Of Alsace-Lor-
ralne. But when it comes to the test
when Austrian soldiers are actually
put upon the firing line in France to
assist Germany in holding on to It's
in-gotten conquests. IL may well be
that many of them will refuse to bleed
for Germany. It is certain, at any rate,
that when the Austrian people hear
Of the loss of relatives on the Western
front their WEAKNESS with the war
must assume a far more serious phase
than ever. From that aspect Of the
case, such a transfer Of Austrian
troops may prove positive advantage
for the Allies.
