THE SOLDIER-CIVILIAN

a great majority of our discharged soldiers are being received with open arms. getting a hearty welcome homs and an invitation to get back on the old job in the morning. Those em- ployers have kept their word. given in an exalted moment of enthusiasH,, have made good. and they will find that the returned soldier is not blind to all that 1t means. and will give fu,i measure of return in service and Toy. alty.
 But what about the soldier -civilian who goes back for the old job and is told they cant do anything for him four weeks and maybe we can take you on"? Can you realize the spirit of resentment, bitterness an6 disap- pointment that wells up in the mans heart over tho broken. promise, and the feeling of sacrifice unappreciated? counting on that promise from the very day he entered the cantonment, through all the hardships of campaign ing, the long and lonesome days away from home, and for some of them. when facing the grave dangers of the firing line and of the everlasting dis grace of the unfaithful employer to, much cannot be said. He should be made to feel the sting of Fepreef of every fair-minded citizen of that town in every way known, and brought to see the error of his ways-to make good that promiae
 Thank heaven, the number of such backsliders, these civilian slacksrs. is not great hut every single one is disgrace to the doctrine of sauare- dealing and fair play.

For the Improvement
 of Spoken English

7HHE league organized few years U ago for the promotion of cor lrect pronunciation and clearer enun- |ciation-in short, better English-has |attracted less attention than its lead CTS had hoped and expected. But the Ienunciation movement" was of small Iconseouence when compared with grammar.
 The rudiments of English are prop erly taught in the public schools. Principals and teachers set good ex- amples by speaking grammatically, 1 but it too often happens that pupils are allowed to go uncorrected. Boys and girls find it difficult to apply the rules of grammar. But grammatical speech is easily acquired if pure Eng l fish by practice is insisted upon in the classroom.
 If the child is brought up on correct English with full appreciation of it's importance one would hear less of bad grammar among the grown-ups, The q seen it's" and the q done it's" would be the rare exceptions to the rule.
 The Alabama Educational assecia- tien will hold it's annual meeting in April. Many questions of vital pedagogic interest are discussed when the teachers of the state assemble. iLet the matter of grammar come in for it's due share.
 Vocational training is of high value, but the technically educated youth will fail to be more than newer of wood and drawer of water if he "mur- lders the Kings English" ~

From Trench and Camp.
 IN the early summer days of 1917. II Uncle Sam went to war. He need S ed men, young men. the best the country had. Through enlistment and draft he raised mighty army that made the Hun dizzy and exploded ey- cry theory of the pacifist and the pro- German as to the unwillingness of tho average American to rally to the Stars and Stripes. One day, the em- bryo soldier stood behind his desk, at his job in the warehouses. bargained with the customer of the day, was busy with his task in every walk of life The next day behold him walking forth to deliver himself into the hands of the government, ready to make the sG- preme sacrifice, or to take up any duty that might be assigned to him in tho winning of the great war. When hs left that job, and enthusiasm was at it's height, he was told by his employer that it would be held for him. and that the day he came back from the serious errand on which he had been sent. there would be the same old job, with the same old pay envelope awaiting him. All of this was just exactly as 1t should be,
 For nearly three months now the government has been turning back these soldier-civilians by thousands to the cities and towns and farms froin which it summoned them, Are they getting back those jobs they were tel' would be held for them?

Progress Toward Peace

Though large part of Europe seems swamped in anarchy. there is cheer in the thought that progress is being made at the Paris peace conferences" said Henry Clews of New York. Before very long the particular points of differ enee between the delegates in assembly will have been largely adjusted. there being reason to believe that the negotia- tions of the last few weeks have quiet ly clear,d the way for more rapid ac- ton in the future.

k % * Magnitude of Wilson's Task Is Apparent


 f1OHN STEELE, The Age-Herald's @ London correspondent, says MT Wilson faces a greater task than was faced by General Foch when he was hurling the allied armies against the Germans.
 The most casual reader of news papers has glimpsed something of the formidable problems confronting the President, for it now appears that in- stead of drawing to speedy conclu- sien, his work has barely started. Fech had merely to defeat Germany. That in itself appeared superhuman undertaking, but the means to victory were at hand. He applied his profound knowledge of the theories and practice of war to the single object of crushing the foe. In a military sense he was supreme and his decisions final. He was not hedged about by conflicting claimssand the necessity of looking to the distant future, to prepare against scores of possible contingencies.
 Without disparaging the achieve mert of Foch, in the sense that his was soldiers task, it was simplified On the other hand, Mx. Wilson has fought the battles of statesmanshiI and diplomacy, with the whole world ; as his field, and must continue to fight if his object is attained. He is assailec at home, in Europe; whatever may bs his popularity with the masses he is feared and distrusted by poli- tieiens. The complex problems grow iAa out of the war must be settled if ve are to avoid word wars in the future, yet hardly 2 single question bsspght before the peace conferencs has been disposed of in such way that it may safely be regarded as set tied permanently.

GRAND JURY MAKES FINAL RE
PORT TO COURT.

The report of the grand jury fol-
lows:
''To the Honorable Robert L. Stout,
Judge of the Bourbon Circuit
Court:
"Your March grand jury respect
fully submits this, its final report,
and asks that it be finally discharged.
eve have examined into all mat
tiers which were brought to our at
tention, and have found such indict-
ments as the evidence justified.
eve have visited the county poor
farm and find it in good condition,
clean, and the inmates we'll con-
tended. We find the cooking stove in
the negro quarters in bad condition
and liable to cause fire, and we call
the fiscal courts attention to this
matter, and ask that it be remedied.
I'VE have visited the county Jail and
find it clean, sanitary and we have
no recommendation to make.
eve feel that the county would
thank the fiscal court and the city
council for having at last started
work on the road leading through
East Paris, and this grand jury de-
sires to call attention to this fact,
and at the same time it al-o desires
to call the attention of the fiscal
court to the miserable condition into
which our country roads have fallen.
The approaches to bridges are un-
cared for, leaving large falling off
places on the bridge, causing great
discomfort and possible injury to
those travelling the road. Besides
this, holes are permitted to stay In
the roads and to become larger and
larger, whereas a small amount of
work at the start would save the
county hundreds of dollars that will
have to be spent because these holes
are neglected. We earnestly call the
attention Of the fiscal court to these
matters, and trust that they will have
the earnest consideration and atten-
ton of the court.
All of which is respectfully sub.
mitted. $50
