TURN THE BOYS THOUGHTS
HOMEWARD, SAYS FOSDlCK,
ASKING COOPERATION

Washington. - Especially = Just be-
fore leaving for France to superin-
tend the rehabilitation activities of
those organizations which. recently
took part In the United War Work
Campaign, Raymond B. Fosdick,
Chairman Of the Commission on Train
Ing Camp Activities, was interviewed
with regard to the present situation Of
our overseas forces.
''The problem presented by the
gradual rehabilitation Of more than
two million men three thousand miles
from home is one which will tax all
our social resources" said Mr.. Fos-
dick. at is above all morale prob
lem, and 1t must be faced as such, with
the full cooperation of families and
friends here in this country, II it is to
be solved successfully. Every one who
has son, brother, must help.
"While the war was on our boys
were fully occupied; they were still
filed with the spirit Of adventure,
looking forward rather than back
Now, however, the fighting is at an
end. They are going to remain. most
Of them, many months doing work
which will be neither exciting nor
particularly interesting. They will get
lonesome, bored and terribly home
sick.
.The $170,OOO,OOO raised in the re-
cent United War Work drive Is to be
used precisely to bridge over this pc
Rod by providing recreation and
amusement. But no amount of mere
money expended in such a way will be
enough. What these boys really want
is not diversion, but human interest
and sympathy. These things express
ed In letters from home will warm
their hearts and create home at
mosphere around them, even while
they are absent from the family circle.
.sSuch letters ma be very neces-
sary sheet anchor to windward in the
case Of some boys. The thought OF
some one waiting for them, counting
on them, will more than anything
else. make them hold back and think
twice before plungfng into situations
which might mean harm and unhap'
piness for them.
"We have raised the cleanest army
In the world. We have kept it clean,
We hope to bring 1t back as clean and
strong as 1t was when it left us. But
while we believe our soldiers will
stand the present test-the hardest OF
all in some ways-as bravely and
successfully as they have stood every
other test Of their manhood and en-
durance, 1t is our duty to give them
all the help we can.
"This, as / have said, can best be
rendered by means Of letters which
will begin now, at once, not only tc
satisfy their home longings, but te
turn their thoughts from tasks already
accomplished in the long years OF life
ahead Of them"

The Wisconsin legislature will soon start out
on it's biennial attempt at rational law making.
and which will undoubtedly as in the past, consi-
enciously object to raising its salary to decent
figure. Many laws have been made in Wisconsin
during the past twenty years OF so which hardly
warrant the $500 salary Of the men that made
them. On general principles though the state
legislators deserve and should receive compen-
sation somewhere near what their time is worth
when at home.

keep tab on the voting record of their new assem-
byman, Mr.. Defer, of Iron county. BY their

EXPECT REMOVAL OF BAN
TO LIFT DOLLAR ABROAD

Figures Of the Treasury Department
on the position Of the American dollar
in foreign exchange show the dollar is
lowest in the Dutch East Indies, having
value of only 1861 cents. Elsewhere
its value where it is below par Is as fol-
lows: Chile. 1877 cents; Spain. 97.4 cents;
Japan, 97.9 cents: China, $3.50 cents;
Hongkong, $50 cents; India, 95.1 cents;
Argentina. 96.9 cents: Colombia, 81
cents: Ecuador. s4.6 cents; Peru. 95.7
cents; Uruguay. 1872 cents, and Vene-
Zuela. 1913 cents.
1t is the opinion OF the Federal Re
serve Board that it's action in removing
can gold will in due time raise the
American dollar to it's full purchasing
power and possibly above par in the
above and other foreign lands where 1t
is at a discount. 1t is not believed that
much gold will have to be shipped to
bring about the appreciation Of the dol
lar where it is now at discount, and
both Treasury and federal reserve off,
Gals are quoted as believing that there
will be no large shipment of gold. On
the other hand, they do believe that the
psychological effect Of the lifting Of ban
on the export of gold. and the fact that
it can now be shipped freely II necessary
to the countries where the dollar Is at a
discount, will indirectly accomplish the
same purpose in advancing the value
of the dollar In those countries as would
The mere knowledge that the gold can
be obtained whenever it is wanted will
restore confidence. the lack Of which has
not been a negligible factor in account

COMMERCE CHAMBERS aoi

AS an instance of this the budget
law of Brazil for 1919 prohibited the
presentation of consular invoices for
certif1cation after the departure OF
the ship on which the merchandise is
carried - shipping conditions made
such a requirement practically i'm
possible to meet. Another article OF
the same law required the inclusion
in the consular invoices of a state
ment specifying the materials enter
ing into the preparation or compost
ton of each article shipped-the i'm
possibility of which is apparent. En-
ergetic protest by the American
Chamber of Commerce for Brazil re-
Gently resulted in the extension Of
the time limit on consular invoices

tion OF the law was postponed until
November I, by which time IL 10

ANTWERP NO LONGER !.

! Antwerps glories as the diamond

| the diamonds superpopularity un-
doubtedly will be built up again. but
| 1t will be years before the city reA'
gains it's former prestige. Here is the
picture of Antwerp's tragedy as paint
! ed by the correspondent Of the Neu-.
| seste Nachrichten of Berlin:
There were 200 diamond-cutting
shops in Antwerp in 1914. employing
5000 cutters and 1000 cementers. al

workmen who earned over 100000

5000 and 1000 manufacturers. brok-
ers and merchants. II 1t is considered
that these $4,000 diamond men had
families averaging three or four
members. the living of over 100000
| people depended directly on the dia-
mond trade.

Club Of Antwerp. where the yearly

had a membership of $4,000, all of
them merchants, brokers and manu-
facturers.
The Diamond Club was in gor-
geous building. It contained an ex-
change hall 300 feet in length. Dur
ing the war this hall was destroyed.
but it has been restored. Here dia-
monds were bought and sold and Of
fers were whispered and shouted in
every language in Europe. -
THE cutting industry was eXclu
sively in the hands Of Belgians. Buy
ing and selling were controlled by
foreigners. More than half of the
merchants were Poles and Turks and
most of the Poles were Jews. If "a
Pole hailed from Warsaw he was
Russian subject and regarded by the
German invaders as an alien enemy.
If he hailed from Cracow he was an
Austrian subject and liable to mill
tary service back home. So when the
Germans came the Polish Jews moved

Want to Speed Up Procedure.

The congressman who have partic-
ularly interested themselves in this
matter of Kidding the country of the
alien bolsheviki have been anxious
20 md some way OF speeding up this
procedure: but SO far they have not
suggested any workable plan. They
feel that there must be due process
OF law in handling the bolsheviki
when IL comes TO deporting them.
even though they might like TO have
peremptory action taken in the cases
OF such aliens. They realize that II
may be difficult to prove at times
that aliens fall within the provisions
of the law for deportation as unde-
sirables. SO they have made the
language of the proposed new law as
broad I'm scope as they could
IT February, 1917, when the last
immigration act was passed, the boil
sheviki had not raised their head
in Russia. they were not yet widely
known. but the Congress had pretty
good idea of what AN anarchist, an

therefore. is by no means weak and
