ATTA BOY:

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
 George Pounds tells us that an old Kentucky mountaineer came to town with his son to see the latter off when he was leaving for camp after being drafted.
 "Son," said the mountaineer. Il fit agin the union for four years and lost But that's all done and forgotten You are in Uncle Sam's uniform now, and I want you to do it proud. When you git to France I want you to remember that you are Kehtuckian and I want you to fight for your flag and your country And when you git to them dam Germans I want you to shoot them down. just like you would a reve. nue officer"

"But we wers mighty sorry to find that he had a stiff ankle from wound received with his regiment overseas He had many wonderful experiences to relate and afte, hearing what the boys had to go through I do not see how any Of them got ont alive. He has hopes that his ankle may De handled in a way at the Walter Read hospital near Washington to give him the use of it. With the exception of his ankle. he was in the finest form

x * . Play" the Slogan For Capital and Labor

IA AIRS. G. H. MATHIS of Alabama, NVU one of the most noted women economists in the country and close student of industrial problems, finds everywhere she goes that capitalists are eager for the government to re- move all restrictions and let them get back to a pre-war basis, while labor is equally determined that it will hold its own. The situation, as she de- scribes it, is like two strong forces pulling in opposite directions on a rope. Neither can outpull the other, but there is a possibility of the rope breaking.
 The illustration is a good one and shows the necessity for compromises on both sides. The railroads offer a striking example. They will never again be as they were before the war, neither is it likely that any of the na- tional industries will ever return to the same conditions that prevailed in pre-war times. A well-worn truism. and yet one of the fundamentals of national life, is that capital cannot exist without labor and labor is de pendent on capital.
 The same influences which will make themselves felt in the peace confer ence for equity and fair play, lead ing to compromises for the good o1 all concerned, must dominate the councils of capital and labor in the period of readjustment now at hand There are few far-sighted business men who have accepted the new or der of things, but the reactionarie: will come to grief.
 On the other hand, labor was in tht saddle during the war. Wages il many industries scared to unprece dented heights. And while the cos of living kept pace with each increase it cannot in the nature of things con tinue at the present high level. II changing from war footing to ; peace footing, both the employer an' the employe should look to the future Neither side should refuse to mak concessions.

NO MANS LAND

By Clinton Scolard. Tt is in night that T see No Mans
 land"
 Thus said the soldier. dreams within
 his eyes. Dark dreams of horror under moon
 less skies. T mark its reaches vague and vast
 expand, Illimitable as seems the desert sand, While sudden out of it dim forms
 arise
 And disappear, and there are warning Ere comes the grisly grapple hand to hand 'The grisly grapple-groans and grasp ing breath Amid the fetid fumes that choke and reek As the hot life blood gushes on the hand; Then. in the murk. the inscrutable face of death.' Thus said, the soldier, though he scarce could speak: Tt is in night that I see No Mans
 land!'

Berlin Makes the Best Of a Bad Situation
