Editorial Opinion
GERMANY AT PEACE.

From the New York sun.
Germany having officially accepted
the treaty, the mere signing OF the
document is Of little consequence ex-
cept as a spectacle of pomp and cere-
mOny.
What IS Of consequence 10 Germany,
to the Allies and to all mankind Is that
the German people may now go back
10 work, with their trade gates thrown
wide open 10 the world
Because il is the particular genius
Of the German people 10 work with
energy and intelligence. with pains
taking detail and unflagging ambition
TO throw themselves heart and soul
into 1.-THE Germans themselves will
get more out OF this treaty OF peace
than any other peoples on the face Of
the earth.
10 is for this reason that the Ger
mans sign the treaty-for IL is as
good as signed. It is for this reason
that they will fulfll its provisions TO
the best OF their ability: for uninter-
rupted peace, with its opportunity for
uninterrupted work, production and
trade, will bring them more. ten thou
sand times, than ever could have been
from the world in mere spoils
OF war.
And nobody else today realizes this
truth as it is realized by the Germans.

ronquests-the conquests OF industry

Somewhere in the heart of every

of ones standing in the community.
The first step along the road to in
dependence is to own ones home
The man who owns his own home is

Dor in the country ordered a canvass
of his factories to determine what
percentage of his employees owned
their own homes. At the same time
lishment to become home owners or
home buyers.
Sound logic prompted this action.
The responsible man is the valuable
employee. The HOME OWNER has
a deeper sense of civic pride. He is
established; he is responsible; he is
interested in everything that tends to-
ward the peace and security and up
building of the community.
The example set by one manufac-
turer will be followed by others. 1t
will daily become more requisite to
mans securing responsible employ
ment that he Owns His Own Home.
There is little excuse for man not
owning his own home. The great Lib
erty Loans have instilled into the
American people lessons of thrift that
will endure through the coming days
of peace. Every man can and should
own his own home.
There is no appeal from the man
who seeks a position that is treated
SO lightly, by private and public en-
ployer alike, as the appeal which
comes from the man who has every
thing to gain and nothing to lose.

a signal success and participated in
