REcoNsrRuorioN PROBLEMS.

As our young MANHOOD comes speed
ing back across the Atlantic and the
work of disorganizing war industries
and recognizing them as far as pos
sible for peace purposes proceeds, so
will the problems of REIMBURSEMENT and
reconstruction increase and multiply,
says New York Herald. AS yet they
have not assumed proportions which
tend to alarm or disconcert; but It
cannot be doubted that unless the ma
ton bends its energies with as much
concentration and determination to
meeting peace problems as 1t did to
those arising from the war the labor
market will be disturbed, capital will
become restricted in supply and Sc.
rious domestic trouble, IL not distress,
will arise. II surely is the duty of the
nations leaders to give as much atten-
ton to these contingencies as they
did to the emergencies of placing IN
army Of millions in the field 5000
miles away and building and manning
navy second TO none in efficiency
The program Of commercial shlpbulld-
ing should be proceeded with on lines
modified to meet peace requirements
almost, II not quite, as theoretically rs
the original plans for meeting the wal
needs of the country. A national pro
gram for the creation and maintenance
Of an American commercial fleet is on'
Of the first essentials of the future, Il
we are to hold our position as n mari
time power, trading with the uttermoS
parts of the earth and carrying Amer
lean goods in American bottoms in
stead Of paying other countries to h
our carriers.

Truth About the Desert.

Tho French, who have been the
greatest explorers oil tho desert, have
corrected many false IDEAS about the
desert The most conspicuous and
persistent OF these errors has been
the notion that the desert is vast
area OF sand The French have
proved that this is not 30. In fact,
only about nth OF ,he Sahara is
covered with sand.
Tho greatest desert in the wcrld is
about as large as the United States
aud Alaska together The sand areas
IN Che desert are somewhat larger
ihn Alasea aud the rocky able
lands forming most of the desert are
somewhat smaller than the United
States. IN Other words, the Sahara is
nade up OF about 100000 square miles
Of sand and 2, 100000 square miles Of
rock surface.
