GENERAL WOOD KNOWS.

Secretary Baker is using General
Leonard Wood as "trouble man"
Wood is sent to stop riots. And he
stops them. The troublous know he
means business. General Wood was
rushed to Omaha--and silence fell
upon the noisy there. Many scattered
and 100 landed in Jail. Then General
Wood was sent to Gary, where some
unwise eX-soldiers of the rowdy class
were marching at the head of the tur-
bulent, whom the general says were
agitated by /, W. w. busybodies.
In an address delivered at Sunday
evening club, General Wood told of
how the true American Legion and
his troops ended anarchy, and who
started the villainy, arson and MUIR
der there. Said General Wood;
1.-The troops and the American Le-
gion were all that stood between the
local authorities and the destruction
of the city. 1t is now known that
plans had been laid for widespread
destruction, but aid was at hand"
After recounting the acts of the mob,
the general continued Just one
agency was to blame for this--that
was the l. w. w. and its red flag, the
soviet organization of this country.
These are the enemies of the Ameri-
can home. Their doctrines lead to

COMFORTABLE DWELLINGS.

One prominent cause of industrial
unrest is the lack of comfortable
homes. There is in most places a
shortage of dwellings. Many of those
available are in poor repair and poor
ly equipped. You can't make man
and his family contented, if they are
forced to live in a squalid neighbor-
hood or in a mean house. Much of
the trouble in getting farm help is
due to lack Of comfortable quarters.
1t is complained by landlords, that
if comfortable homes are fixed up
for some people, they abuse them and
do not keep them in order. 1t is dis
couraging to fit up neat little houses
and then have them become neglected
and disorderly. Some families have
an ineradicable tendency to keep po-
tatoes in the bath tub. or do other
things as careless.
1t would seem a good proposition
for owners of dwellings to give special
favors to those who take care of their
places. A landlord could we'll afford
to allow an agreed discount to those
who return property in good shape.
Employers cannot expect to secure
permanent help without arranging
homes for them. A great many con-
Germs build and rent and sell houses
to employees. and receive excellent re-
turns. 1t makes help contented and
less likely to keep changing around
from one place to another.
A corporation or individual en-
ployer who undertakes this line of
work, should be able to control the
way in which tenements are used. re-
fusing to let nice house to a man
who let's property run down. The
tenant should feel an incentive to take
care of place. The entire character
OF a town changes. when people get
interested in keeping up homes. and
particularly when they own the homes
themselves.

years l had had nothing to do with

| realized all the more the great
responsibility which rested on me as
commanding officer of the regiment,
as l saw the coming war was rapidly
approaching. In various addresses
to my officers | pointed out what ex-
tremely serious times we lived in.
In the army | saw, not only the as
surance of Germans safety and flu
ture, but also guarantee of internal
was not the least sign that the army
would have to be used in that ca
| pacity.
Discipline. to which officer and pri-
! vate alike were subjected, was, in my
opinion, the only basis on which an
army could be effectively trained for
war. Such a training could only be
acquired through long service. 1t, is
only what discipline makes second in
a man that is lasting and outlives the
! demoralizing impressions of the battle
| field and the psychological changes
wrought by a long campaign.
! 1t was our thorough discipline and
| training in peace-time which was to
make up for our inferiority in num-
| bers in the coming war.
! My aim was to turn highly disci-
plined troops into responsible men
| possessed of initiative. Discipline Is
not intended to kill character, but to
develop it. The purpose of discipline
is to bring about uniformity in CO.
operating for the attainment of a
common goal. and this uniformity
can only be obtained when each one
sets aside the thought of his own per-.
sonal interests-this common goal is
victory.

Words fail to describe the demands
that are made of a soldier in battle.
To go over the top" under enemy fire
is, indeed. an heroic act. but it is BIZ
no means the most difficult. How
much resolution and readiness to
shoulder responsibility is required of
man who either has to lead or send
others to certain death. Those are
acts the appalling nature of which no
one can imagine who has not himself
had to perform them.
Besides the care of the men and the
education of the nome commissioned
officers-an education which was also
calculated to assist them in their flu
ture callings-I attached the greatest
importance to Increasing the eff

AMERICANS HAVE EMPLOYMENT.

The closing of the Albuquerque of
flee of the department of labor mark
ed the end of the period when gov
eminent machinery was deemed by
congress to be necessary. in addition
to regular and voluntary methods to
secure employment for soldiers and
laborers made idle by suspension of
war activities. The American Legion
and various other agencies are guard
ing the needs of men returning from
war, industry is absorbing labor with
little difficulty. An emergency caused
the maintenance of a great and useful
bureau with thousands of employees
and costing the government nearly
100000 last year. The department
of labor was DESTROYS of continuously
maintaining offices and travelling
forces throughout the country. But
congress has cut off the expense.
Six months ago the unemployment
problem doomed larger than the cost
of living problem does today Within
eight months more than 5000, 900 men
in camp and overseas have been re-
lieved from military service and re-
turned to civil life. And there is no
doubt of the recovery of business to
such an extent as to absorb a great
army of potential producers tempo
rarily withdrawn from industry and
commerce. 1t is an achievement
which gives encouragement to the
hope that other problems will be as
speedily solved.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED
COURSE THAT BOOSTS COSTS.

Owing to the strike of workers, less
steel and iron are being produced.
Higher cost of metal Will result.
Fewer buildings will be erected. The
price of all commodities or iron and
steel will be increased. There will be
less work in the industries. Coal and
other commodities so much needed TO
reduce the cost Of living will be
scareer. There will be less business
for railways and fewer men on trains
and in shops
The steel strike is said to be costing
the workers SO, 10000 per day in loss
of wages-and the steel interests ST.
100000 per day. But these figures by
no means cover losses to other lines
of Industries and other laborers allied
in the strike.
Some steel officials may be too
stubborn and strike leaders too inn
perative. But as ever the nation is
punished, even to the remotest sec
tons.
Here in New Mexico. IN Grant coun-
ty, 900 men, not steel company en-
ployes, were producing iron ore for
a Pueblo plant, and are idle through
no act of their own, nor by their vote.
IN the vicinity of Trinidad, near the
New Mexico line. 1900 coal miners,
who were earning about $500 per day
of eight hours, and who had no part
in bringing on a strike. are facing a
winter of want because the Pueblo
plant was closed by orders of the
steel workers union officials in
Chicago.
That shut off a Pueblo company's
pay roll for the plant. amounting to
$t1,00O,000. and $S7,O00,000 per year
for coal miners and other labor.
1t will be fortunate for all con-
cerned if the loss be limited to wages
and profits and not magnified by an
other war" in Colorado, such as
was waged but a few years ago. The
Colorado steel men and miners may
or may not approve of the strike.
But they and the public all suffer.
Sometime a determined public will
find a way to deprive both industrial
managers and labor organizations of
the power to deprive America of food,
comfort, railway and other public
service. while the parties to a contro-
versy differ about wages and mutual
relations.

THE SPIRIT OF FAIRNESS.

Hearing croakers talk man might
think that most people are selfish
and grasping. One ancient pessimist
was driving along the road with an
old horse and buggy, when a motor
car driver compelled him to go into a
ditch. IT'S always that way" he
said. 1.-THE poor man has no rights
while these hogs take up the whole
road"
The man with whom he was driving
was silent, but thought he would make
observations. Within a few miles the
pair met five automobiles. Every one
of them turned well out. Then the
observer called the attention of his
croaking comrade to the fact that all
but one autoist had been very decent.
That is about the proportion of
fairness in all the relations of daily
life. There always will be minor
ity, with hoggish and arrogant ma
ture, who will take all they can get
and strike for more on top of that.
But the majority of thinking people
are ashamed not to be fair.
The majority of motorists brought
before the courts care very little If
fined. If judge takes time to give a
personal talk to offenders and point
out how overbearing their conduct is,
how it alienates the friendship and
respect of the community, he makes
an impression.
The power Of fair-minded argu-
rnent is still tremendous 1t is infin-
ttely more effective than denuncia-

SILVER SURE, OIL MAYBE.

There may not be oil in New Next

districts. Let's go after it with the
same desire that is shown for oil de-
velopment.
New Mexico was once paralyzed in
part by the decline of silver value to
about rs cents per ounce. but the
world shortage of silver since the war
began has run the value to $1.20 an
ounce on the New York market for
export Now is the time to rehabil-
tate abandoned mines, even il labor
costs double as much as in the days of
silver mining. National authorities
claim that the demand for silver will
be strong for many years.

English government concentrated its

tons until recently in the Mediterra-

den light on England's intentions,
which had hitherto been concealed
with great skill 1t became increas-
ingly certain that a war would be
forced upon us, and that It would be
struggle the like of which the world
had never seen. The fact that in nom
military circles the probable strength
of the enemy was under estimated
constituted a real danger.
Asked For Big Army Increase.
At the eleventh hour, in the autumn
of 1912. when there was no longer
any doubt as to the enemy's intentions,
and the army was working with might
and main with truly German devo-
ton to duty, | drew up a plan for an
important increase in our effectives,
which met with approval from both
the more discerning sections Of the
public and the more far-sighted
among our parliamentary parties.
| was able to induce General Won
Moltke to approach the imperial
chancellor with the plan. who must
himself have considered the situation
exceedingly serious. for he immedi-
ately agreed to it.

to prepare a bill without, however,
carrying on at the same time any
clearly defined and systematic politi-
cal campaign calculated to gauge cor
rectly the attitude of the various pow
ers. This should have occurred to
him as a necessary conclusion.
Having regard to the purposes for
which 1T was conceived, this army es-
innate for a milliard marks was not
of an aggressive character 1t mesely

but what had most earnestly desired
the addition of three new army corps
was given no consideration: it did not
even appear in the estimate.
Punished For Array Demand.
The failure to provide these three
additional army coprs was paid for
dearly later on. At the beginning of
the war these additional corps We're
sorely missed. and the new formations
which were added in the autumn of
1914 displayed all the defects of i'm.

contributions they were called upon
to make.

partly to my having pressed for those
three additional army corps.
