FAIR WAGES FOR THE BOYS

The returning soldier is entitled to
a wage commensurate with the pres
ent high cost of living, no matter
what his wages were when he left
this country.
A soldiers pay is none too good,
and while men who stayed at home
reaped the benefit of war wages the
soldier risked his life, and made no
money in the process. Everything is
more epensive than when the boys
went away, and it is not fair to pen
alize them for their army service!
They fought to preserve our homes
and it is a poorreturn to ask them to
settle down to work and accept a pay
envelope insufficient to run their
homes.
The soldier may not have any more
experience in his direct line of en-
p1oyment but he is essentially a bet
ter man because of the kind of ex-
perience he has had. His army life
has had the tendency to make more
of man of him in every way. He
has come back, too, with a broader
outlook, and an awakened ambition
The employer wise enough to realize
| this and to turn that increased vision
and ambition into enthusiasm fo1
| his business will lose nothing in
the process.

peace delegation arrived at St. Ger
main-EnLaye at 5:55 o'clock this
evening.

feet Chaliel and. representatives OF
the French government and the al
lied and associated powers.

the doorway of the car with his hat
in his hand and with contagious
smile that>put the reception COM
mittee quickly at it's ease.

man, with a black beard and bald
mead and with eyes shining brightly
behind a pair of gold trimmed spec
.acles, bowed courteously to the re-

cellor, saying he was delegated to

! and treat them with friendly cour-
| tesy. He added that he would turn
them over to Major Bourkeois who
would establish relations between
| them and the entente powers.
Members of the Austrian delega-
| tion, questioned on their arrival, in
timated that they would demand the
| attachment of German Bohemia and
German Tyro1> to Germany and de-
clared that without these conces-
sions they would be unable to sign
the treaty. This was not said with
such conviction as would indicate 6
grim determination, and the i'm
preston was gained that they were
ready to sign. even if annexation t.
Germany was not permitted.
Baron Rudolf Won Slat;n Pasha, {
former high official in the Egyptian
government who resigned his posi-

Both teams had chance to win

his rival, was effective and kept hi

GENERAL PRESSING
 NOW IS .SIR JOHN"
 SAYS WHO'S WHO.

New York, Jan. 24.-- The British "Who's Who," copy of the 1919 is- sue of which has just been received here, lists the commander in chief of the American expeditionary forces in France as General Sir John Joseph Pershing, c. c. B."
 On July IT, 1918, King George awarded the Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath to General Pershing, and in August King George during visit to France personally gave the decora- ton to him. The award of the Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath to a British subject automatically makes knight of the recipient and gives him the right to prefix Sir to his name.
 The decoration given General Per shing, however, was an honorary one and it was said at the time that the American commander would not re- ceive the title f"Sir" as he was not British subject.

 'sWhen Johnny comes marching home" is favorite expression, but it does not correctly describe "Johnny's" manner of coming in this day of rapid transit. When our civil war ended most of those discharged for return had to march, or to be abso- lutely correct, tramp many miles be- fore reaching their homes and loved ones. But now when Johnny" re- ceives his honorable discharge, he hops the first train for home, and if the folks haven't received the word in time to meet him at the station, he hires an auto and is at home in jif- fly, even if his family lives in the country.-Exchange.

STRIK ES IN BERLIN DIS-
 GUST SOCIALIST LEADERS.

Berlin, Jan. 24-The German Social Democracy boiled more than 10000 900 votes in the elections of last Sun day, according to the Freiheit, as against 4,250,000 in the last Reich stag elections. Twenty added man dates would give them an absolute working majority in the National As sembly. The Majority Socialists are conceded to have received 8,000,000 votes, and the Independents trifle under 2,O0O,O00.
 The strike epidemics in Berlin and particularly the strikes of the cleo tric, gas and other municipal work CTS, whose position enables them to extort compliance with their demands from public or private employers, are beginning to disquiet even the Social ist leaders. In common with the Bourgeoise press, the Socialist Vor- waerts points out the disloyal nature of the strike of the electric workers by which hundreds of thousands suf- fered great hardships. The aldermen of Charlottenburg, a working class district of Berlin, today at a meeting, criticised the attitude of the workers.
 The city gas employees have, under threat of strike, compelled the granting of 6-hour day an wage in- crease of 12,500,000 marks annually.
