NOW IN GERMANY
Private Kenneth Wallen Is With
3O1St Sanitary Train

Private Kenneth f. Wallen, son Of
MIR. and Mrs. A. r. WalIcn of 25S
Maple street has written to his parents
OF his trip toward Coblenz with the
3o1St Sanitary Train. For the first
time since going overseas, Wallen
writes that he has bad a sleep in a
bed. The occasion was while passing
through a German city in which q
country club was established. Other
local members of the company en-
joycd their first sleep in a bed dur
ms this period. while in this city and
in this country club. The progress of
the 301st Sanitary Train, of which a
number of local draftees are mem
beTs, is traced by Wallen
The unit went first to Montreal
and stopped four days in Halifax
while the ships of the convoy pre-
pared for the voyage through the wa
tors where German submarines
iurked for their prospective prey Of
American troopships. SO great were
the precautions taken at the ports of
embarkation that not single soldier
was permitted to leave the ships
while they lay in Halifax. Twenty
one days were required for the trip
across the Atlantic, which was with
arrived off the coast of Ireland. There
tho German "sea-serpents'' made
desperate attempt to prevent the fur
thcr progress of the crowded troop
ships, but the American torpedo boat
destroyers and submarine chasers,
surrounding the transports were more
than match for the Germans, who
were dispersed after Il stiff fight, by
the use of depth bombs.
Cardiff, in Wales, Eng, was the
point Of debarkation and rs these
were the first American soldiers to
land in Cardiff, the populace gave
them an unusually enthusiastic well
come. No time was lost That same
day the troops moved to Winchester,
where a large training camp was To-
Gated. Only two days were spent
there, and the Americans moved on to
Southampton. News of the great
allied counter offensive on the Marine
had come, and the Yankees made the
most of their time. Only few hours
in Southampton, and they embarked
for the crossing of the English chan
mel. The night before, a Red Cross
ship had been sunk in the channel
and the boys were keyed up to high
pitch of excitement. The precautions
nearer the front. Landing in LIE
Havre, France. there was hurried
6ve-m mile march to a rest camp, One
night there, and they were off for
Chateauneuf, twenty miles south Of
Bourges. There they were held in
readiness for immediate movement to
the front. Each day the soldiers ex-
pected to proceed, but three months
passed before the orders came. Then |
came the call to participate in the |
terrific drive that was destined to
conclude American hostilities. The i
men were on a train speeding to the |
front when the armistice was signed, |
and passed through the territory of !
the st. Mihiel drive. The last gun |
had been fired when Wallen's unit |
reached the front. Although disap- |
pointed at having missed by so mar |
row margin the opportunity to get /
into battle, the men arrived while |
the ruins We're still smolderinE and |
were brought face to face with the |
desolation Of the recently-ended bat |
tie.

THE HIGH COST OF LoAFKNG

1t is the high cost of loafing, not
the high cost Of living that is trou-
bling America today. We are pro-
ducing less per hour per man and we
are consuming more per hour per
man than was the rule before the
war; consequently, there are two buy
ers to one seller now, as against two
sellers to one buyer in other days.
In this condition prices always adj
vance; in this condition prices will
continue to advance, Notwithstanding
the wonderful theories by which men
strive to prove that three times two
makes nine and not six.
In an investigation covering several
states, it was developed that the wage
per man per hour had increased 24O
per cent, coincidently the product per
man per hour had decreased 60 per
cent. These instances could be multi
piled a thousand fold and they all tell
the same story, not of increased
wages-but to a widespread habit of
doing less work per hour. There can
be only one result to this plan of ac-
ton if pursued, and that is contin-
ual advance in prices, an end to the
creation of new wealth, with the re-
public simply running on the momen-
tum acquired in other years until that
momentum is exhausted.
Let us be honest with ourselves and
by recognizing the high duty of work
ing at maximum speed at whatever
task circumstances bring to US. The
loafer is father of the liar, and the
liar is father of the traitor to all that
we hold dear in America. 1t is the
worker who has always won, the
shirker who has always lost. Let US
stop talking about the high cost of
living Let put a stop to the high
cost of loafing-

COMMENT


'FDo your Christmas early" is ad
vice which will soon begin to appear
in the papers and advice which viii be
as little followed as was the advice to
'HBuy your coal now"
The big industrial strikes in the
United States are just what the Ger
mans want. While the 1aborers of this
country are working half or none of
the time, the Germans are digging in
to it and manufacturing everything
they possible can. Germany wants
to regain a world market for her
goods and as soon as the supply runs
out in this country there will again be
a demand for foreign goods and the
Germans will supply the needs.
The American laborer is too pros
porous. On account of the high wages
he does not have to work more" than
about half the time in order to make
a living. He is gradually demanding
fewer hours per week and higher
wages per hour. The 1aborers are not
producing nearly much as they
have in time past.
The way to reduce prices is for
every person to produce much as
he and to buy as little as he can.
After awhile there will get to be an
over production and prices will go
down.
Six hundred "Red" agitators have
been rounded up by the police in the
larger cities, mostly in the east, and
an effort is being made to deport
them to the country from which they
came. They ought to be willing to go
to Russia for that country is in the
state this one would be in if the
Reds" had control of it.
The inconsistency of those fellows
is manifested in the fact that they
want to live in a country where they
have protection by law, and raise
several kinds of hades, rather than to
live in country governed after their
own pattern
In other words, they just want to
raise h-- wherever they are and
still fall back on the laws enacted by
descent people for protection.
An effort is being made now by the
non partisan league to get control of
Kansas by gaining the balance of
power. In the meantime, and before
any farmer should give Townley shat
sixteen dollars, it will be well to men
ton that things are not running
smoothly in the non-partisan league
circles of North Dakota and now that
taxes are being paid it is found they
are several times higher than they
have been in the past
When some fellows talk of personal
| liberties they think only of the right
to take a drink of booze whenever
they want to, but why isn't it a cur
tallment of personal liberties when a
laborer wants to work and is not per
Taitted to do so because he belongs to
the union?

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Recent reliabI advices from Italy, brought to this country by. Americans who have been in close touch with economic conditions there. reveal a striking contrast in the Italian and American points of view.
 The Italians want to work. The la boring class there realizes that it is through work and work alone that they can better their condition. They are insisting on more. work to do and longer working hours. Strikes have actually taken place at which men have refused to quit at quitting time.
 Their plea al present is for foreign capital, especially American caital to come to Italy and start industries that will give the people of the country an opportunity to work longer and earn more.
 Compare this attitude with that shown by American labor, Here. agi- tatiAn is being felt for shorter hours extrem;s"s even going so far IS to ad- vocate a fVe-daY working week. Must it be said that Ita'r-, where the per centage of educated ,N:rsons among the la boring class is far lower than in this country. where living conditions have been and still are incompaTably worse than in America. is to lead the way in efforts to reduce the high cost of liv- cessities of life?

RESTORING WoooLANDs.

Up in Massac achusetts interest Is be- ing aroused in an effort to overcome the rapid deforestatien- that is taking place. This is being started by means of an initiative petition to the legisla- ture in behalf of law that would au- thorize the forest commission of the state to acquire 25o.000 acres of land for forest purposes within a period of ten years, the land to be bought at a price not in excess per acre of what is already fixed for the acquiring of land by that body or such figure as the legislature might fix.
 In cur neighboring state as it is in Connecticut and quite generally throughout eastern states. the wood ed areas are being fast cut off. Large sections that were once heavily wood ed are today bare. The sawmill has come and gone. and it has donc thorough job. Much of the land on which tho woodchopper has been at work is fitted at the present time only for the growing of timber. but in stead of attention being given to the laying out of forests where the trees have been cut those sections are be- ing allowed to grow up to brush. Some day, if fires do not keep down the new growth each year there will be more woodland but it will never De as pro- ductive by being disregarded and al- lowed to STOW up unsuided. as it would if attention was given to set ting out trees in much the same man ner as other lands are cultivated.
 For the interests of the state and particularly those sections which are fitted only for the production of tim was given thereto, and if the in should be given thereto, and if the in- .dividual owners are not interested it is entirely proper that the state should step in and guide the work. Through such examp pies it ought not to take long for the individuals to see the importance of doing likewise.
