The Banner of The Cross in Terms of
Patriotism.

The world war has started many
new movements and organizations as
well as influenced the reorganization
and awakening to new life of others.
The churches of the world are re-
spending to the challenge of the new
day with programs that are attract
ing the attention of the nations.
The New Era Movement of the
Presbyterian church has place in the
front rank of forward movements of
churches. The press from one end of
the continent to the other has hailed
it as one of the greatest undertakings
of any denomination in the history of
Christianity. 1t seems that no phase
of human need or endeavor has been
overlooked that the church can meet
or encourage.
One or two of the items attracting
special attention are of unusual signif-
icance. In the national budget to be
raised by American Presbyterians is
half a million dollars to be devoted
to the needs of young men who went
to war from Presbyterian homes
throughout the nation. While this
might be construed as denominational
in a narrow sense, yet it is obvious
that it is nationwide in its purpose

Isn't This The Truth ?

Governor Coolidge told the COVER
nors and mayors at the recent recon
struction meeting at the White House
that
"The Government should withdraw
from attempt at fixing prices and let
business operate according TO laws Of
supply and demand so far as domestic
commerce is concerned. There ought
to be protection from unreasonable
foreign competition. If this were to
apply to wheat, its price would be
lowered other cereals would be cor
respondingly lower, and also meat and
poultry. Unless business understands
that prices are on "A natural and not
an artificial basis il cannot go for

the epidemic runs into hundreds of
thousands. Before the war we had an
immigration each year of ,200.0 to
nearly 100000. The last four years
this has dropped to a very small fig
ure. There will be, as n result Of the
war, a great shortage Of man-power
abroad
There was never so much work to
be done in the world, never so much
money in America. Where there is
power TO purchase. there will be de
mand to be supplied. The only thing
lacking is an organization of our in
dustries to produce and supply the
market and a conviction that prices
and conditions are on a natural basis.
"If commerce and industry of the
country is to conduct itself, rather than
to be conducted by the government, it
is time for it to begin such operation
at once. 1t must be under governmnet
contral or under its own control. 1t

WILL DEMOBOLIZE
AT CAMP KEARNY
The Colorado Regiment Will be Taken
Out to California to Get Them
as Far From Home as
Possible.

After careful consideration the war
department decided that the most cx-
pensive, bunglesome, inefficient and
annoying method of demobolizing the
Colorado regiment would be to take
it as far west Of its destination as pos
sible and then let the state bring them
back Accordingly it has been order
ed that the Colorado troops will be
demobolized at Camp Kearny, Califor-
mia, about April 10th. The depart
ment is very careful to see about such
matters, as it would be too simple and
convenient to demobolize them at Fort
Logan where they could take trains
direct for home in a few hours. Any
way the regiment has its transporta-
tion orders now and the boys will soon
be home. Just how many Prowers
county boys are still with the regi-
ment is not known here, but there are
probably more than with any other
regiment that will be demoboiized.

Present Shortage of 100000 Cars in

The entire world will not be able to
produce enough automobiles to supply

On December 81. 1918. it was esti-
mated that there were only 15,545

bile manufacturers. This represents
only three days normal production

Nations. and there, for the moment,
we leave them both" To the British
mind the question does not even ad-
nit of argument. "Of course" the
Monroe Doctrine is to be cast aside; in
fact it is hardly too much to say that
that was one of the very reasons that
led the English representatives at the
peace conference to give the league
their assent-to get rid forever of the
American policy that has prevented
British expansion on the Western
Hemisphere.

The 65th Congress closed with a re-
cord of having authorized the expendi-
ture of approximately 500 100000, 900.
This is the largest sum ever author
lied by an American Congress and
probably breaks the worlds record for
any country. During its existence war
was declared on Germany and Austria;
the greatest army the United States
ever had was raised and the armistice
was signed. All of this made neces-
sary unprecedented appropriations but
some day a mathematician will rise
among us and show how many billions
were unnecessary. And the 65th Con-
gress would have blindly appropriated
many more billions if it had not been
for the fact that Republican members
of the Senate refused to allow bills
spending the peoples money, to be rail-
roaded through without proper debate
and discussion. The 65th Congress
did not achieve greatness because its
Democratic majority was not made Of

it only met the situation brought about
by the war because there were no al
tentative. Mr.. Wilson was elected a
second time on campaign literature
which asked the people whether they
wanted Wilson with Peace and continu-
ed prosperity or Hughes with Roose-
welt and War? No comment is need
ed on the merits of such n platform.
Wilson forced his followers to follow
him to war even though many of them
had to do so at the expense of cast
ing aside the platforms upon which
they were elected. Those who found
the majority Of the 65th Congress were
coddled into submissiveness by the
well chosen words of Mr.. Wilson. But
many of them figured wrong because
when November, 1918 rolled around
and Mr.. Wilson tried these same tactics
on the people of the country they re-
jected his candidates with the result
that the 66th Congress will be Repub-
lican.

shortage of 7O0, 900 automobiles in the
United States ut the present time, ac-
cording to government figures.
In 1918, the total production of cars
was I,O44,754 US against 1,737, ISL the
previous year. In 1916 the production
was 1,493,617. So last years produc-
ton was the smallest since 1915.
Normally, the output increases at
the rate of forty percent n year. Had
this rate prevailed last year the out
put would have been two and three
quarters of Il million cars, or more
than double what it actually was.
In 1915 and 1916 there were abnor-
NAL increases Of fifty and eighty per-
cent respectively, but in 1917 the in
creasce dropped to seventeen percent.
So there is an apparent shortage at the
present of 100000 cars, being the diff
ference between actual production and
what it would have been under the
normal forty percent increase.
Because of the slowness of the re-
turn to normal production it is esti-
mated that the output of cars in 1919
will be about half of the three million
which would be needed to make up
this shortage.
The growth of the automobile busi-
ness has been one of the marvels of
modern times. In 1909 only 121 ,S61
cars were produced. In 1917 the pro-
duction had increased to / 1877 900. The
total invested is 81 ,297 200, 900 which
is three times as large as the out
standing stock of the entire Standard
Oil group of thirty-five companies and
exceeded the capital of all the national
banks at the end of 1916.
The wages paid in this industry
which is now the third largest in the
United States, exceeded by 500 ,000,-
900 all the gold in circulation in the
United States in 1916 and was equal
to three-quarters Of the governments
ordinary receipts.
There are now more than 4,000, 900
automobiles in use in the United States
alone. These cars develop 100000. 600
horsepower or ten times the total pow
err of all other kinds in the country. In
passenger miles travelled and passeng-
er capacity these cars exceed those of
railways and street cars combined.
The reason for this is that trans
portation is the greatest business in
the world and automobiles have be-
come n supreme factor in modern
transportation. Aside from all other
considerations. they fill an economic
need.
The present shortage results direct
ly from the constantly increasing need
for the automobile, the unparalleled
wave of prosperity experienced by all
parts of the country and the reduction
of production during the past two
years.
The Hudson factory. the largest
builders of fine cars in the world, has
never been able to keep up with the
demand for Super-Sixes. Hudson pro-
duction was to have stopped entirely
on January l. Then, suddenly, the ban
was lifted. As result normal pro-
duction cannot be resumed before June.

chasers of motor cars is clear. II is
