~ AID a Regular Army officer re
Gently who has had much eX
~ perience with men of the Ma
tional Army:
When the men who enlisted for
the war come home, get settled
in civilian life and find them
selves again, l look for a great
turnover in the matter of con-
ducting governmental affairs at
Washington or great turnout
and l am inclined toward the
latter, for old-line politicians are
notoriously blind to any gather
ing storm and NAV not get awake
to the new spirit before 1T sweeps
them into the discard. l have
talked with hundreds OF soldiers.
These young men laid down their
work and went out to save their
country. Theirs has been unset
fish service for the Government
and they are nearly unanimous
in expressing the belief that Con-
ton have not been paying as much
attention to public welfare as
they have to their own personal
and political welfare. The SOL
trilinG with the Government they
feel they have saved and unless
public service is the motto of
the public servant he won't last
long unuef tne new OfueF. put
the limit of the present old-time
methods at Wa ashington at four
years in the House and six in the
Senate.
That is strong talk, but it has
in it the experience of trained
handler or men and one accus-
toned to dealing with hard, cold
facts. Politicians would do we'll to
consider this view carefully, es-
pecially since from many sources
come indications that it is fairly
representative of the rank and file
of the American army in the war,
regardless of politics: which is to say
that it is representative of the young
manhood of the nation, a powerful
force to be reckoned with in the
coming quarter century.

IN "CIVVIES"

Where are the girls who used to
smile
And the rides used to get,
And where is the crowd that was
very proud
To pass me a cigaret?
Time was | danced with the maidens
fair
And captured their hearts by
storm,
But I've lost my pull with the beau
tful
Since quitting the uniform.
I've sunk my shoes into Turkish
That only the rich can own.
At tables fine I've been asked to dine
In the heart of the social zone.
In the cushions deep of a limousine
l have rested my manly form,
But I've lost my graft with the tony
craft
Since quitting the uniform.
I've been a king on the ballroom
floor,
An ace in the social whirl;
l could show my face in any old
place
And never lip would curl.
l could walk right up to rich mans
door
And be sure of a welcome warm,
But I've changed a lot and they
know me not
Since quitting the uniform.
Now / walk downtown and the autos
pass
And nobody says Get in"
And the girls are shy when I'm
standing by
And nobody knows and nobody
cares
Whether | eat or how.
! must buy my chuck, for I'm out o.
luck
I'm wearing the "civvies" now.

Parade Returning Soldiers
[From the New York Sunl

II rum lHt New OGh sun
Governor Edge Of New Jersey
thinks he detects a recession of en-
thusiasm for the returning troops,
and to revive it he has asked Cen
eral March to have the various units
parade on their arrival here in their
home States. We have not seen any
evidence of lack of interest in the
home-c coming soldiers, but without
regard to this, the Governors plan
for parades is a good one.
The men who went out to fight
the Germans were taken from their
homes with mighty little ceremony.
Their lives in camp We're so crowded
with work they had no chance to
hear the applause of their friends.
Some of them were loaded on trans
ports secretly, and taken across the
ocean secretly and while they were
in Europe they labored ardously,
without any display or popular trib-
utes.
Now they are coming home they
should be allowed to hear the cheers
and see the friendly faces of their
neighbors and friends. to register in
their minds the formal expressions
of affection and admiration all
Americans long to convey to them.
They should be allowed to have "a
uay vi triumph At iledSuIe VI the
applause they have so richly earned
and their fellow countrymen are
anxious to bestow upon them.
The men and women for whom
these khaki-clad heroes fought are
entitled to something too. They
should be allowed TO see what their
soldiers look like on parade, how
they bear themselves, what the tide
of men that swept back the German
hosts was. New York has seen
something of it, though not as much
as it wants to see; and other COM
munities should not be denied the
pleasure and the honor we have
known

THE END OF IT

r EFT us hope that the postpone
ment of the report of the view
ers on the Clark and Powell
Valley road closing means an
end of the whole incident. No
good can come of the clos
ing of this road TO the public
and much harm would result. II it
should happen that the viewers
should recommend and the court
approve the closing of this thor
oughfare, then the next move would
be to ask the State to remove the
game preserve from the upper end
and to leave off stocking the trout
streams of the region, for it would
be wrong from every standpoint to
spend the money of the sportsmen
of the Commonwealth for the benefit
of what would amount to private
hunting and fishing tract.

lative work they wish done-haVe
wished done ever since they voted
to put his Congress out and theirs
in.
The national finances are in need
of care by the new Congress. Ma
tional reconstruction from a war to

readjustment to normal conditions

Labor and capital need it. Every
American interest. at home and

THOSE SUNDAY LAWS

IN HE best way of settling the con-
troversy over Sunday closing
laws is to let the statute stand
AS it is. There is no real pub
lie demand for a change. Those
who are back of the Rorke
bill have selfish interests at
stake. They want the nickels and
the dimes of the dear people" in
whom they profess so great an in
terest and that is all there is to it
Not one of them would be interested
if it were not for the profits they
hope to make from an open. Sun
day" Labor should stand firmly
against any effort to make the Sab
bath a working day. II the bill
goes through the working people of
Pennsylvania will have to fight a
seven-day week.

GENERATION PASSES

Yearly every week, almost
N every day, brings with it
the announcement OF the
death of some man or woman
long prominent in the affairs
I. of the community or the State.
More men of note have passed away
in the past six months than in any
J like period within easy memory
s,This unquestionably has been due in
large part to the ravages of in
fluenZa, with some blame TO be
placed on the pressure of war work

WHY CREEL LOSES FAVOR

~ ACK of George Creel's retire
b ment from the committee on
public information, certain
J newspapers believe lies a situa-
tion amounting almost to es-
arrangement with President Will
son. So far, so good; we have
no doubt of the correctness of this
surmise. But when these newspa-
pers go farther and suggest that the
misunderstanding is due to the fact
that the facilities for transmitting
news to America are inferior to
those afforded French, English and
Italian correspondents, we must diff
fer. Our own idea is that Mr..
Creel did not handicap the Ameri-
3 can press enough. Else why the
Government-imposed censorship out

Within the League of Nations
Great Britain's strength we note,
Each colony is counted
A country with vote.
But let us though outnumbered
Retain a proper calm,
For there are more dominions
Beyond the pine and palm.

We claim two votes as well,
BY Yanks we sent to Heaven
And Huns we sent to He'll.

Clara.
Clara, it may be readily surmised
by nyone familiar with Latin is de-
rived from the adjective, meaning
bright, clear or famous AS a mus
cal and ever-charming feminine name
it has kept it's Significance, though the
steps of its history are many and de-
vious.
The Romans used the name Clarus
as a masculine name, and it's vogue
spread in Europe. st. Clarus Is re-
vered as the first Bishop of Nantes in
Brittany in A. d. 280. Another Clarus
a native of Rochester, was a hermit
near Rouen who vas murdered at the
lnstigation of a wicked woman who
had vainly paid her addresses to him.
The name then changed to Clair and,
comoined with a Saint named two
of the most noted families in the his
tory of Great Britain, besides the va
riouS "de st. Glars of France. In
Britain, it speedily was contracted to
Sinclair, and subsequently as Glare.
named the County Clare of Ireland,
a tract of land presented by Edward 1
as a wedding present to the son of the
famous Red de Glare.
Spanish lore has 1t that the first
Clara known to history was the
daughter of Charlemagne, but the
real origin seems to have been in It.
ally where the first Chiara, as the
Italians call her, was a devoted dis
ciple of st. Francis and under his di-
r%ection, established an order of wo-
men following his rule and called
poor Clares'' or sisters of st. Clara.
The French call the name Claire. -
The Breton form is Skleara n
Firms have contracted 1t to Lara.
Clara and its derivatives has been a
~favorite with the poets whose verse to
the lovely maids who have morne the
name are almost too numerous and
exquisite to permit the selection Of
one. Tennyson has perhaps written
the most charming lyric around the
name; everyone is familiar with his
Lady Clare"
If Clara would have the fullest
benefits from the name she bears, she
must wear her talismanic jewel, the
carnelian. This warm-colored stone
supplies the contrast to the rather
chill naughty beauty associated with
the name. A carnelian gives cour-
age tt it's wearer and is especially to
be desired by one who uses her voice
as singer or public speaker, as it in
sures strength of the vocal organs.
Furthermore 1t protects it's wearer
from injury, though to dream of it
signifies impending misfortune. Tues
day is Clara's lucky day and five her
fortunate number.

DEADLOCK IN
COAL STRIKE
IGompGrS Says U. S. Writ is

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Union
labor and the government are dead
locked in the negotiations for the
settlement of the coal strike. Sam
uel Gompers, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, has an
nounced that the way to a settlement
can be cleared only by the withdraw
al of the injunction proceedings,
which he characterized as a gross
b%lunder.'
h dispute between the mine own
ers and workers is an entirely differ
ent question hat they can settle in
their own way. The government can
not tolerate continued violation of
the law, such as the strike has been
constituted.
Refusal of the government to va
cate the injunction means a long fight
in the coal fields, while its withdrawal
would have opened the way for set
Element of the strike within forty
eight hours, according to Edgar Wal
lace, legislative representative of'the
United Mine Workers of America.
The government maintains it's atti-
tude hat the miners must return to
York before the question of a settle
ment can be considered, as no bar
gaining can be entered into with the
miners until the Illegal" strike is
called off or until the courts decide

faith that a mutually honorable ad-
justment can be negotiated and eff

Mindful of the effect the statement
might have in fixing responsibility for
continuation of the strike, govern
ment officials intend to go into this
phase of the subject thoroughly in
search Of an avenue to restore the
nations full coal supply.
Attorney General Palmer has an
nounced that the injunction will not
be withdrawn until the strike order
was revoked and with the issuance of
the Gompers statement labor prac-
tically has said that the strike would

was lifted.

the hopeful outlook for an early set
