MERELY COMMON SENSE

There In NO mystery about the
work Of retraining war disabled men
80 as to make them efficient" de-
clares DIR. Charles A. Prosser, Direc-
tor OF the Federal Board for Voca-
tional Education. ut is simply the
application OF good common sense
education and good judgment. 1t is
merely the utilization of the abilities
remaining to the disabled man, which
can be so trained as in most cases to
be just 40 effective IL not more so,
than the ones which he lost by fea-
SON of his injuries.
1T IL surprising the number of
things n man Is capable Of doing. II
he has been engaged in an occupation
which requires the use of his leg,
such as operating a foot power press,
we do not throw away his trade
knowledge, but he is educated to use
his hands, or perhaps the stump of his
leg by means of q special adjustment.

Equitable Distribution OF Trophies
Captured During War Is Proposed

How proud the home folks are of
the men who fought for their coun-
try is shown by the fact that there is
hardly village in the land which
has not bombarded its Congressman
and Senators with applications for
trophies captured from the Germans.
It has been almost as much of prob
lem in awarding the trophies as it has
been to demobilize the Army.
; Representative Brodbeck, of Penn
sy1vania, seems to have conceived a
better proposition than the introduc-
ton Of separate bill to please each
suppliant town and village. He pro-
poses. in H. r. 14105, that there
shall be an equitable distribution of
captured war devices and trophies to
the states and territories and the Dis
trict of Columbia, pro rata an the to-
tai number Of men serving from each
state, territory and District Of Colum-
bia is to the total number Of men
serving from all states. territories
and the District.

we have profted by it all; for
because Of it fewer American
homes are desolate and fewer
American mother-hearts have
been broken. Take the British
alone, as an example. With only
half our population, the people of
the United Kingdom have had
over thirteen times our losses, in
deaths alone. While about one
in every 1000 of our people
made the great sacrifice in bat
tie, about one in every sixty
eight of the British made that
sacrifice.
We therefore owe these ma
tions some such debt as one owes
a brother who has stood between
us and the enemy at his own
cost, until we could get ready to
bear our part in the fight. Such
service should cause us to over
look, as we overlook within the
family, every possible irritation
because the comrade has ways
that differ from our ways. What
if he has? He has saved rs in
the hour of danger just the same.
These allies of ours are the
real thing. They have shown
courage Of the highest order
not recklessmess, but the stub
born intention of sticking right
where they were, and taking any
punishment that had to come, IN
Guiding death And we are go
ing to stick by them and resent
any unfriendly criticism of them
on the part of persons whose
sense of obligation and comrade-
ship is less than ours, and who
are inclined to get peevish and
forget the big things in the pres
ence of the little ones.
When two men have stood
back to back. with a circle OF
thugs around them trying to get
their scalps, they cannot be very
unfriendly to one another there
after. And how foolish they
would be to let the thug, now he
is down and out, succeed in de
stroying, by his contemplate lies
and suggestions, the good viii
and comradeship that rose when
the backs were tight together

STICKING BY OUR ALLIES
.HIS is no time for us to be
finding fault with any of
BY A. G. KELLER

TH1S is no time for us to be
4 finding fault with any of
our allies. In fact, any
grumbling about the French or
Belgians or British, because they
are not just as we would have
them, comes from an American
with peculiarly bad grace.
A big bully had promised us a
hcking-what else do you sup
pose the Kaiser intended when
ne told Mr.. Gerard that he would
stand no nonsense from us after
the war? The Germans were all
ready to do to us, our property,
our wives and daughters, our
homes, precisely what they did
in Belgium and France. But for
over two years, and until we got
ready to defend ourselves, they
were kept with their hands too
fun to do us much damage. And
how?
First of all by the British feet.
The little the Germans were able
to do with their submarines
along our coast shows how much
they would have done if their
battleships and cruisers could
have broken loose. The British
fleet, first of all, and then also
the French, interposed a steel
barrier between US and the firm
intentions of a nation that was
both robber and bully. It ill be-
seems us to forget this merely
because we may not appreciate
the Englishman's or the French
mans little personal ways.
And who held back the Ger.
man armies for many months be-
fore we got in? What are oul
losses in human life, or in wealth
compared with the prodigal out.
