Order Crowds Back.

Paris, May 1.-Several speakers
have addressed the assemblages in
the boulevards and advised them that
they were the weaker party and sug-
gested that they return to the Place
de la Republique and the Place de la
Bastile, "'your own part of Paris. f."
The crowd then began to move slowly
in that direction and the situation
seemed to be quieting.
One of the speakers climbed a pole
and addressed the crowd, saying that
it was useless to attempt to storm
the Place de la Concorde and reach
the objective, the chamber of depu-
ties and the war ministry, where
demonstrations had been planned, and
advised the people to proceed to the
Place de la Republique and the Place
de la Bastile.
The crowd obeyed, turning east
on the boulevards. singing the elm
ternationale." The roar of voices
were audible for many blocks as the
surging crowds overran the boule-
wards which were lined with the re-
publican guard in their shining he'll

And YET that is precisely what we are expected to do
unless the Washington correspondents have gone widely
estray IN writing up the announcement Of the Fuel admins
aton that has devised means TO save 26 600 000. 600
cubic feet Of gas each year simply BY stopping the
faehre Of carbon black m this state. The Fuel admins
traon scheme briefly put to have the legislature Of this
state stop the manufacture Of carbon black and thus force
the manufacturers to SET up their plants m other states. at
wells too remote from popuous eenters to be available for
other uses. to the adopt the language Of the official
nouncement.

There is one sharp lesson in this misguided effort Of the

JUNGLE SAM HAS

WASHINGTON, D. G., Jan. 4.-will
German property seized by the alien
property custodian be turned back to
its owners when the peace treaty is
signed?
Not II "A. Mitchell Palmer, the Penn.
sylvania Quaker who Is holding the
property for the government, is on the
Job!
Here is Palmer's idea Of disposing
Of tn $500, 100000 worth Of German.
owned property he has seized since
the United States entered the war:
He would turn 1t all into cash and
use 1t to pay the claims Of American
citizens against Germany!
1t is estimated that the $500, 100000
lit will probably reach a billion dol
lars before Palmer gets THROUGHPUT
much more than cover all claims of
American citizen against Germany
and Austria. The losses through SUBJ
marine warfare, 1t Is estimated, will
not exceed $100,000000, and the
claims for American property seized
by Germany probably would not ak.
coed $4,000, 900. !,
The final disposition Of this seized
enemy property is left to Congress by.
the Trading with the Enemy Act un.

that 2 new Law will be- passed before
Palmer can use the money IN his hands

IF the next FIVE years are not the most prosperous this
country ever experienced will not be because Judge
E. H. Gary chairman Of the board Of directors Of the

cons,lmmation.

all over the country were wondering what the effect on
business would be Judge Gary waited only long enough
Ia give the situation thorough survey and then he an.
nounced that if the reconstruction were conducted on
sane basis the United States would enter upon boom
period which would make all other booms look small. He
said the same thing little later in an interview with a
reporter for the New York Tribune, and he has said it.
with variations, in conversations with other reporters and
with business men many times since He said i again
Saturday night at meeting Of officers and empoyes Of
the Carnegie Steel company at Pittsburgh hotel.
And Judge Gary knows what he is talking about He
was able to issue reassurng statement 50 after the
signing Of the aistce because the great corporation Of
which he is the supreme head unlike the Democratic con-
gress at Washington, was studying after the war effects
and preparing for peace What he has to say about
the probable course Of wages and prices based upon the
same careful inquiry This newspaper prefers to believe
Judge Gary rather than the pessmsts and the glooms We
believe there will be such demand for coal during the next
coal year as will make this region very busy and prosperous
and we believe every wise business should prepare fo
Just that thing.
But the preparation must be intelligent or il will be dis
