heart for that rare character who is
content with the world as he finds it
and who does not attempt to approprl-
ate any more Of it to himself than he
absolutely needs from day to day. He
knows from the beginning that the
world could get on without him and
he has never had any anxiety to leave

THE ONLY SOLUTION is

"The world s only salvation
from the social and economic
chaos from which it is now
emerging is work, " declared
Premier Clemenceau in a recent
address With a shortage Of prac-
ticaly everything necessary for
the comfort and well-being OF
people everywhere, what other
remedy can there be except to
produce more commodities. and
how can production be in
creased without the application
Of more labor, mental as well as
physical? In the face of such a
condition as exists, it should be
clear to anybody with common
sense that all the fine-spun theo-
ries of governmental reform can
avail nothing, even if put into eX-
ecution, except to intensity a
distressing situation, by drawing !
attention away from the real
remedy. Commenting on the i'm ,

CALLING FOR $4,000
Two Bills Are Passed.; View
Taken of Measure BY the
Congressman

Washington, Feb. 19.-Legislation
providing for temporary military es.
adjustment of about $4,000 officers
and men during the fiscal year, begin
nlng next July /, was eliminated from
the annual army appropriation bill in
the house, after passage of the senate
bill for resumption of voluntary en-
l1stments in the peace-time army,
which would be restricted to the maxi
mum OF 175,O0S men, authorized in the
national defense act of 1916.
The senate measure now goes, to
conference and will become effective
upon approval by President Wilson.
The army bill also was adopted by
the house without a record vote. It
goes to the senate with it's completion
there at this session regarded as
doubtful. 1t carries a total of 81 ,07O.-
O0O,OOO for the war department for
the IL months after June so.
War Time Army Unaffected.
1t was explained by house members
that the senate biz ia not affect the
the selective service act, must be
denobilized within four months after
peace is formally declared. Decision
of the house to consider the senate
measure was by a vote of l72 to 1G2.
Chairman Dent, by direction of the
house military committee. has asked
for rule to make the temporary army
legislation in the regular appropriation
bill in order but the rules committee
took no formal action on the request.
Instead it voted to to report a
resolution giving the senate measure
the right of way. Ten Republicans
joined with 102 Democrats in voting
for the resolution in the house after
a sharp debate.
Ono Year Enlis.ments Planned.
Before adopting the senate bin. the
house amended its 40 As % prorids that
recruits should be enrolled in the regu-
lar army for only one year without
further service in the reserve. Their
pay was fixed by another amendment
at $50 month, the wartime basis in
the army.
Republican Leader Mann in explain
ing the votes of 155 Republicans
against adopting the rule to consider
the senate bill, said opposition was
not against the bill, but was a protest
against the failure to consider a tenn
porary program that would enable the
quicker return of troops from Europe.
The recruiting bill itself was finally
adopted without dissenting vote.
