AFTER THE WAR

What will be the position of the
United States after the war in re-
gard to the world trade and in
dustry? That Is the question which
comes up in the minds of all think
ing persons. This country has sew
eral favorable assets-the worlds
largest stock of gold, making United
States the worlds greatest lender;
the worlds largest supply OF raw
materials necessary for reconstruct
ion days-copper, cotton, oil n d
foodstuffs; increased output of min
es, fields and factories due to the
war demands and an increased bal
ance of trade, due to the enormous
purchase made from this country by
other warning countries.
This country should begin now to
lay its plans for the days of recon-
struction. Germany no doubt has
prepared for this contingency long
ago, and many recent purchases of
raw material will no doubt f in d
their way to German ports at the
conclusion of the war.
This nation has been short on pre-
paration long enough. The United
til it was actually at the door. The
time to prepare for post-bellum days
is before those days are here.

10 to As Men Required for Each Air.
plane in Active Service

In statement issued by Howard
J. Coffin, chairman of the Aircraft
reduction Board, is the following:
I'm discussing the accomplish
lents of the air service in the con.
umation of the Army program, it
yill be we'll to point out the impos-
ibility of certain proposals enthu-
.iastically and persistently put for-]
ward by word of mouth and in the
reSS. We have seen and heard mch
the proposal of 100000 airplanes
be provided by the United Safes
within the next year. In the country
where one great industry produces
100000 motor cars per year, the
abrication of 100000 planes might
eem easy, but actual figures based
pom three years Of practical ex-
,erience in the war show that there
ire now between 40 and so men of
he auxiliary services required for
ach active machine at the front. If
his same ratio should be adhered to
our service, it would mean that
ONE 100000 wen would be requir-
d in our aeronautical department
n foreign soil, between our ports
f debarkation and the firing line.
"Even though this number of men
ould be reduced by 50 llr cent by.
increased efficiency and Standard
zation, the number required is still
taggering. Consider, also, the over
ca transportation prol ! ,m as res
ated to material only and without
eference to personel and its main
enance. The transportation of fin
she'd planes, properly Grated, with
he necessary spares, accessories.

THE RED MANS PART.

Boston Herald: The least hyphen-
ated of all our Americans are doing
their part. We spoke the other day
of the thirty stars in the serv-
ice flag in front OF the little chapel
of the Passamaquoddy Indians-the
tribe that lives nearer to Germany
than any other. Now the office OF
the commissioner Of Indian affairs
in response to a letter of inquiry,
gives out some interesting informa-
ton regarding the part played in the
great war for dem ocracy by the de-
sccndants of Tecumseh, Rain-in-the-
Face, Logan, Black Hawk, Keokuk
and the other dusky warriors of
earlier days.
In all there are now about 5000
Indians in the active service The
bureau has more than half that num-
Der properly card indexed, and in
complete information about the 9th
ers. One famous Indian school has
ITS names on it's service flag and
another has 15e. The school papers
are filled with letters from Indian
soldiers in the camps and in France
itself. A story comes from one reser-
Walton about a grizzly chief, SCARED
from battles with the whites, urging
enlistment of his young braves with
as picturesque and fervid oratory as
any council fire of old ever knew.

Letter,

Private c. F. Morrison, who has
been with the U. S. marines fighting in
France for the last five months, has
been wounded slightly in the right
arm and as a consequence is now in
base hospital.
His parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. Morri-
son, 20 North Twelfth street, received
a letter from him today which told
of the casualty. The letter was writ
ten with his left hand, a measure evil
IDENTITY adopted to spare the injured
member as much as possible.
A card was also sent from Paris to
the parents which said:
Yesterday / saw your son, Chaun-
cey on his way to a hospital. He has
a slight wound in his right arm and
can't write himself for few days.
He is getting on very well and sends
his love.

But the 5000 Indians in active serv-
ice-many hundreds of whom are in
the navy, by the way-are only
part of the contribution of the reser-
vations. The subscriptions to the
first two Liberty loans totaled a
little more than 100000, almost
evenly divided between adults and
minors
There is good reason to believe
that many Indian subscriptions were
through channels that the bureau
would know nothing of, so that the
per capita subscription falls little if
any short of a $50 bond. 10, the
patriotic and the affluent Indian!
Moreover, about $4,000 pupils in the
Indian schools are enrolled in the
Red Cross, and a large part OF them
are organized for systematic work.
The bureau has very properly OPP
posed independent army units of In
dams. 1t is better for the Indians
and better for the country that they
should stand in the ranks and fight
in the trenches side by side with
their pale{aced brothers.
