1t has not been possible to
remove so readily or so quick
ly the control of foodstuffs and
of shipping, because the world
has still to be fed from our
granaries and ships are still
needed to send supplies to our
men overseas and to bring them
back as fast as the disturbed
conditions on the other side of
the water permit; but even
there restraints are being re-
laXed as much as possible and
more and more as the weeks
go by.
Nations Agencies Well Posted
Never before have there been
agencies in this country which
knew so much of the field of
supply, of labor and of industry
as the War Industries Board,
the War Trade Board, the La
Dor Department, the Food Ad-
ministration and the Fuel Ad-
ministration have known since
the iabors became thoroughly
systematized; and they have not
been isolated agencies; they
have been directed by men who
represented the permanent de-
partments of the government
and so have been the centers of
unified and cooperative action.
1t has been the policy of the eX-
ecutive, therefore, since the arm
istice was assured (Which is iii
effect a complete submission of
the enemy, to put the knowl-
edge of these bodies at the dis
posal of the businessmen OF the
country and to offer their intel
lgent mediation at every point
and in svery matter where it
was desired. 1t is surprising
Row fast the process of return
to a peace footing has moved in
the three weeks since the fight
ing stppped.
1t promises to outrun any
inquiry that may be instituted
and any aid that may be offered.
1t will not be easy to direct it
any better than it will direct
itself. The American business
man is of quick initiative.
Places For Trained Men
The ordinary and normal
processes of private initiative
will not, however, provide i'm
mediate employment for all of
the men of our returning armies.
Those who are of trained capac-
ity, those who are skilled work
nen, those who have acquired
familiarity with established
businesses, those who are ready
and willing to go to the farms,
all those whose aptitudes are
. known or will be sought out by
employers will find no difficulty,
it is safe to say, in finding place
and employment. But there will
be others who will be at a loss
where to gain a livelihood un-
less pains are taken to guide
them and put them in the way
of work. There will be a large
floating residuum of labour
which should not be left wholly
to shift for itself,

Five more states have voted dry.
They are Ohio, Minnesota, Florida,

total OF 81 dry states. There were 27

courts declared the statewide law un-

Minnesota voted on constitutional
Prohibition under law making
it necessary to obtain major
ity OF all voters voting at the
elections, whether they voted on the
Prohibition question or not. The
latest returns indicate that sufficient
number of dry votes were cast to
make the state dry with 1000 to spare
in spite of the peculiar law governing
constitutional changes. This pro-
vision, making it necessary to secure
a majority of all ballots cast, was
placed in the Minnesota law by the
far-seeing brewers many years ago
when they controlled Minnesota poll
tics. Missouri and California also
voted on statewide Prohibition, but
the proposition failed to carry. The
drys in these states were unable to
overcome the political strength of the
vets in St. Louis and San Francisco.
Both Missouri and California, how
ever, elected Legislatures pledged to
ratification of the constitutional
amendment. National elections added
eight more to the strength OF the drys

House the present dry majority was

Senators Dry
Illinois House Members Remain
Overwhelmingly Anti-Saloon


With the election of Congressman
Mccormick, who defeated Senator
Lewis, two dry votes from Illinois in
the United States Senate were as
sured. The record of Congressman
Mccormick in the House Of Repre-
sentatives shows that he voted dry on
all measures coming before the House.
Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman voted
with the drys in favor of the National
Prohibition Amendment and other
anti-saloon measures, and is one Of
the strongest dry leaders in the upper
house of Congress. Accordingly as a
result of the recent elections, Illinois
will have solid dry delegation in the
