THE GREAT DEBATE

The United States now annrooo+o os a historic decision. The TIeae,1a o+ Nations project compares ir ir,no,+
 ance only with the great anti-elava-,, debate that precipttated the Civil war and the action of the Tinted States in 1917 in entering the World war.
 Whatever the senators may think they will never stand out against a strong popular sentiment The mass or the quiet people in their homes boring over their newspapers by their evening lamps, are the final jury and ratifying power.
 This community cannot be hanDy and prosperous while threatened bv the possibility of war II must give it's most serious thought to the cues ton of the best means for avertfnE war. Is the proposed Leagu organ izastion the most hopeful suggestion or some other form of associa tion. or no such organization at all? All a1e
 ments of business mems associat tions ministers, labor unions, women s clubs should discuss it. express their conclusions by resolutions and for ward the same to their senators
 It is a question to be approa cf7ed world has suffered untold r,iiSar,ies from war. It must give it's most anxious thought to any proposition advanced as a means of averting q renewal of these horrors.

Washington. March 6-Governors and mayors returned to lay to their homes after the three 6ay confe renee here called by direction of President Wilson 10 discuss labor and business conditions Before adjournment the conference went on record as fayoring the carrying out by the railroads of a, program Of Improvements not only as an aid to transportation but also to alleviate unemployment; the reduce ton of freight rates on building ma terials. and the settlement of govern meRt contracts and the lifting of all restrictions on business and industry at an early date.

Ohio dry by the ri.4e the soldiers of the forces abroad returned home would keep down unnecessary dis turbanCes that will come when the soldiers return. -
 Such assertions as these seem tc iusinuata that we are men who arsI una ble to control ourselves. and must have certain restrictions to abide by 10 carr ourselves as gentlemen ia civilian fe. This means that we must be controlled in civilian life as we are, necessarily, controlled ia mil itary life, for no army could be kept together unless it was under military conditions.
 The men of the American Expedi- tionary Forces that come from Ohio represent a state and should have a voice in the popular government Of the state, as we did before the war. IT rhe prohibition amendment could be passed during our absence why not other ones of equal or greater importance?
 We feel bound to make 8 collective protest of the passage during our absence Of certain amendments of state and national importance, and feel that we should be given the op- portunity of at least voting for or against them. We feel that we have the f..fuence of the better class of people, as we had their backing dur ing the war. This influence we do not intend 10 lose; our intentions are strictly for the folk at home. as it was during the recent fighting And we do nc- intend to return to Ohio and play the role of the professional soldier 10 retain the friendship of the homefolk in such fashion. We aim to return to our homes without bois- terous manner and take up lifs where we left off when we went to France
 The above represents the sent- ment of the majority of the men of this organization, and there are many Ohioans in t who have a record of IS months of hard service in France.

Joseph Krok, 9th Regiment, U. s. Marines, in a letter to the editor of the N. '. World, writes:
 After eighteen months in France l was one of the lucky boys to come home, and one of the first things that caught my eye vas an editorial in your paper.
 I will greatly appreciate if some one will tell me f am in God g country or il Germany After reading the papers and the replies of some real Americans, I would like to know if the fathers who have boys in France or in some branch of the service are going to let bunch of eoda-water sueaks run the coun- try.
 I have seen thousands of men die and thousands who will be crippled for life fighting for freedom, but why go to France and fight for freedom while we have e bunch here who try to take our freedom from m?
 The best way to settle this question is to hav= all the labor unions declare 9 strike, as they have done in Eng land. No beer. no work will bring them to terms.
 Why not let the question go til the real Americans get home? They have a right to vote, and any man that pushes this bill through is 9 sneak and traitor.
 Let us hear from few overseas boys. Best of luck to the Evening World.

One of his staff, Colonel Requin, told laughingly one day how some of these other gen erals. practical men, were shocked at orders he took to them from Foch.
 Tt was a common experience of mine he said, to take an order to q division commander in the very crisis of a fight. directing him to perform St once well-studied, typical man euver. The troubled, busy general would take the order, read and re- read the clean, careful writing, and then tlrr. to me and exclain: Impos- sibIe!
