Labor Surplus and Demobilization.

A statement by the Department of
Labor relative do unemployment shows
that while there is an increase in the
number of unoccupied men. it has not
reached an alarming stage, and in some
states and in a number of localities
there is still a distinct labor shortage.
That the tide trends toward unemploy-
ment is shown by the fact that there
is now a surplus in fifteen states as
against twelve the week previous. The
surplus is chiefly in the line of clerical
help and in the building trades. At
the same time boilermakers and rail
road machinsts are in demand and the
shipyards still need unsknled labor.
The problem in this matter is to
distribute the labor supply as far as
possible and prevent congestion. The
Department of Labor has already done
good work in distribution, but it will
be called upon to exert extraordinary
efforts if the present tendency con
tinues for month or two longer
Every week several thousand men are
returning from overseas military serv
ice and men are leaving the encamp-
ments for civil life in equivalent num-
bers. Industries are slowing down at
the same time and calling for fewer
workers
Decentralization may be proceeding
too rapidly for the industrial health
.of the country. In England it is con-
ducted strictly with view to the
economic situation and is regulated in
accordance with the ability of the in
dustries TO absorb the released men.
Unless the present increase in unem-
ployment is due wholly to the slacken
ing of work, the conclusion is inevi-
table that We are demobilizing too
quickly.

The German Presidential Term.

It is stated that the Ebert govern
ment at Berlin has prepared the draft
of a new constitution, to be submitted
to the national convention, which is to
assemble early in February. One of its
provisions is said to be for president
to be elected for a term of ten years
by direct vote of the whole people, and
to be eligible to reelection. Evident
ly the habit of hereditary rulership is
not easily changed, and the Berlin gov
ernment makers look for an easy
transition. A ten-year presidential
term would be the longest allotment
of time to any national executive.
Presidents are now chosen for terms
ranging from one year in Switzerland
to seven years in France, Haiti and
Venezuela In Bolivia, Brazil, Co.
lombia Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador,
Honduras, Liberia, Nicaragua, Panama,

Hertling on Germany's Defeat.

Count Won Hertling, former imperial
German chancellor, gave an interview
three days before his death in Bavaria
to the correspondent of the Paris
Matin, it is now stated, outlining the
future prospect for Germany, and con
cluding with a statement that is calcu-
lated to whet the utmost curiosity. He
said that at the beginning of July last
he was convinced that before the lst
of September the entente would send
peace proposals to Germany. Certain
~" he added, "our situation was most
dangerous in the sense that we had
played our last card, but what did that
matter, since we were sure we were
winningf"
This assurance, Count von Herting
went on to explain, was based upon
certain information of the most fav-
orable nature" which had reached Ger
many from the entente, notably from
France. It was on account of that in
: formation that the high command, not
= withstanding the opposition of the gov
ernment, twas able to continue bonn
harding Paris" in the hope of hasten
ing the process of Generalization,
about which well meaning agents fur,

Whether these reports were at all
wen founded, whether there was, in
fact, any tendency toward demoraliza
ton In Paris, the Berlin government
according to Won HcFsling, expected
grave events in Paris for the end OF
July. That, he said, was on the 18th
on which day the Germans began theil
last offensive movement at the Marne
But, added the ex-chancellor, "on thu
18th, even the most optimistic among
us understood that all was lost; the
history of the world was played ou
in three days"
It was in those three days that Gen
Foeh was waiting for his opportunity
to deliver his counter offensive from
the forest of Villers Cotterets. It wa

POLITICS AT HOME
Committees and Committee Work

1
The republican national committee
met in Chicago last week. The mem
bers exchanged Fluctuations over the
November triumph, and informally
discussed the future. There are to be
other meetings. Party matters are to
be kept in mind, and, as may be ad-
visable, promptly attended to as they
arise
This is a departure from custom
Under the old order, the national COM
mittee of neither party concerned it.
self much about business between
presidential elections It's existence
was scarcely noticed. After the result
of campaign had been declared, both
the committees and the chairmen with
drew from the picture until the time
came for fixing the time and place for
holding the next national conventions
This new departure is maybe the
suggestion of the new republican chair
man. Mr. Hays is hustler. He made
his reputation by hustling. Indiana is
n hustling state. Politics there goes
on all the year round The game is
studied as closely and played as skill
fully as in New York.
The new order is to be commended
A national committee and its chair
man should keep their eyes constantly
and steadily on the gun. There are
many things worthy their attention.
and capable of yielding party profit if
promptly attended to.
Moreover, these are new times. Very
large additions have been and are still
being made to the electorate. The
women are taking hand in politics,
and are desirous of learning the proc
esses. Two women, holding proxies,
participated in this Chicago meeting
And then there are many new issues
some produced by the war-which
even men, with their large and long
experience, are finding it necessary to
study with care. Reconstruction it is
becoming plain, covers 4 multitude of
things which men and women in or
out Of Office should, and must, under
stand
Committee work is very important
work, and the chairman of national
committee fills an important post
Both the chairman and his committee
should be on the job right along. Their
industry is an inspiration to the rank
and file. AS matter of fact, live
committee and live chairman are an
asset of great value, and fill large
space in our politics.

IN the 18th that he delivered that

on the 18th that he delivered that
great blow, the beginning of series
of operations continuing for 100 days
and breaking the German lines to the
to prevent sweeping invasion Of Ger
man soil.
1t now remains to learn what those
reports sent to the German headquar-
ters by "well meaning agents" com
prised. what were the grave events that
were to occur in Paris that would make
for the collapse of the entente resist
ance by the end of July. AS far as is
now known the long range lombard
ment of the French capital had not in
any degree caused Generalization. Also
as far as is known there was no par
ticular feeling of despair on the score
of the German advance. although it
was menaeing and had reached point
dangerously near the capital. But it is
also known that the tide of American
arrivals had reached such n volume as
to stimulate British and French alike
with confidence
Foch had no delusions as to the seri-
oasness of the German menace July 10.
He was preparing even then for his
counter offensive. He had drawn sew
eral divisions of French forces from
the Pieardy iine, which compelled the
British to extend their holding. He
staked everything upon his own infor-
nation that the next German attack
would be at the Marue salient and in
the Champagne east of Rheims, If it
fell elsewhere it might not be resisted.
IF it fell there he was ready for it
with the one great surprise counter
blow of the war since the attack on
Won Klack's flank at the first Marne
fight. Foch's information was correct.
The blow fell below scissors, and he
delivered his counter stroke at the
exact moment making for success.
From that moment, as Count Won Hert
ling says, Germany's cause was lost.

Diplomacy and Oratory.

Our new ambassador to Great Britain
has just made his debut in London as
speaker, and been complimented by
the English newspapers. They find in
him worthy successor in that par
tieular to the men who in the same
Office have made reputation for facile
expression, and left with their hosts
very pleasant memories.
Mr.. Davis had his training as a
speaker in politics. While serving in
Congress he took the floor but seldom !;
but at home, in West Virginia, where
he was active for years, he is rated as
a popular orator of power. Since he
has succeeded both as stumper and
as post-prandial entertainer, his gift
must be conspicuous.
Our Representatives at London have
long been subject to draft as speakers.
In the first Cleveland administration
Mr.. Phelps of Vermont, an eloquent
hosts with number Of public address
es, while Mr.. Bayard in the second
Cleveland administration commanded
much attention in the same way. Then,
in turn, John Hay, Joseph Choate,
Whitelaw Reid and Walter Page, each
after his own fashion, delivered ad-
dresses which were much admired
But Englishmen in the Washington
post have not reciprocated. Sackville-
West made no speeches; and, unfor-
tunately for him, in letter he wrote
blundered so inexcusably he was called
home. Sir Julian Pauncefote, as he
was at first, was mute. Sir Cecil
Spring Rice, an accomplished diplomat,
with a taste for literature, appeared
but once or twice as a speaker. Lord
Reading came on a special mission, and
did not tarry long enough to take a
place as an orator diplomat.
It may be that change is coming.
Gossip connects the name of Lord
Robert Cecil with the post. He is a
speaker of notable ability, has had
his training in parliament, and his
fame has spread to this side of the big
water. If he is appointed, he would
do we'll to "pack up his vocabulary in
his little kit bag" and come prepared
to respond to many invitations to dis
| play it.
With the new relations established
between the two peoples and govern
| ments, it will be easier in future than
| it has been in the past for their diplo,
| matte representatives, each at his post
to manifest themselves fully, and en-
! ter into the spirit Of everything, Off
eial and social, surrounding them.

Doubling the Bonus.

Action by the House yesterday in
raising to $40 year the bonus to
government employees getting $500 a
year and less instead of the $l2o bonus
heretofore provided and recommended
for repetition by the appropriations
committee is a gratifying advance
toward ivable salary scale for de
partment workers. 1t is not all that
the government employees have asked,
but it is a material help toward en-
abIing them to meet their increased
living costs. The addition of 500 a
month to the old pay scale does not
yet bring it up to the prevailing stand
ard of compensation, however, and
there remains the hope that the Senate,
in reshaping the legislative bill, will
make further addition in eonsidera-
ton of the urgent need which is felt
by every employe of the government.
