BRITAIN To KEEP ARMY
OF MILLION ON DUTY
Will Release Men Who Have Rem
dered Most Service; Special
Pay for New Troops.

London, JAN 29.-A special meeting
Of the Cabinet held Yesterday was at
tended by Winston Spencer Churchill,
Sir Ere Geddcs, Sir Robert Stevenson
Horne, the new Labor Minister, and
Generals Sir Henry Wilson and Sir
William Robertson. Urgent questions
regarding rehabilitation were discussed.
1t is understood that the oonfcrees
reached the conclusion that there was
no prospect for months TO come of the
voluntary enlistment of sufficient men
for the army of occupation and the salvage
of property in the war theatres, for prop
crly garrisoning India, Gibraltar, and the
crown colonies, to insure the safety OF
the United Kingdom and safeguard
the results Of the victory in Palestine,
Mesop tamia and Turkey, and that
hence it would be necessary to adopt
some system of selection, and place
the men retained as nearly rs possible
III the same position rs they would be
in civil life with regard to pay and other
condit ions.
1t is considered that for the purposes
above stated about one million men
would be required, which means. roughly
that three out of every four men will tc
dcmobilized, and the fourth retained
ito finish the job" And the idea is to
release the men who have already rend-
cred the most service TO the country.
Probably some stipulated date will be
fixed and all the men who joined the
service previous to that will be dernobilized
The pay Of the men retained will be
largely increased and new scheme of
leaves introduced.
Tho men thus retained TO bridge the
gap until the reorganization of the new
standing peace army will be considered
rs fulfilling functions as important as
fighting and employers of labor will be

COMMUNITY HOUSE souELcHED.

The squelching of the mendahle
community house movement that has
been going on in Palisade for the past
several weeks comes as an unexpected
shock. 1t was looked upon as one of
the finest ideas that has been taken
up in the village for many years SINH
lar efforts for the same purpose have
been made twice before, but this third
time it looked very highly encouraging.
In fact, the more hopeful ones be-
lieved, and with every degree of right,
that the enterprise not only could be,
but would be carried to a successful
conclusion Then all of Il sudden and
as bolt out of Il clear sky came the
announcement that it would be vio-
lation of the restrictions on Palisade
property to build community house.
All this is to be regretted of course.
If the restrictions issue had not been
raised, perhaps, no one would ever
have thought of obiecting. But there
are certain parties who have always
managed heretofore to block efforts to
build similar institutions, which re-
minds one of the two Irishmen who
We're seated in front of the home of
one of them, who said:
al give thot young Teller thot comes
round afther my daughter a hint he
wasn't welcome"
what did you say to hm?"
al said, What the hell do yez want
around here?'"
Now that Palisade has had this po-
there need be no more coquetting about
a community house unless different
methods are used to get it. Perhaps it
would be well to work out new plan,
for the enterprise should not be given
up. 1t is too important to be dropped.

1t is only in the United States that
the covenant and the wisdom of the
policy it embodies are called in ques-

cepted as a new birth of freedom for

man of Europe, by the peoples of Eu-
rope, by the people of the United

man of the United States whose mind
is free from the beclouding bias of
some personal or partisan feeling. For
a little time opposition will continue
in the senate. 1t will give way, it
must give way. the treaty will be rati-
fed. it must be ratified, because the
people of the country will not permit
it to be rejected or to be amended,
since amendment is rejection. The adj
dress of the President compels ratifica-
ton, it is an irresistible force which
the senate cannot withstand. Such a
presentation of great principles as the
President has made, with perfect

AN APOLOGY

Last weeks "PaliSadian'' contained
the following news item about the
proposed Cliffside Park American Lee
gion organization
Plans are now under way through
out the borough for the formation of
a Cliffside Park post of the American
Legion.
Captain Duncan McClave, who has
lust returned from active duty with
the A. E. F., is most active in arrane-
ing for the post, While others who are
interested are Mayor Cadien, w. E.
Atwood, Patrick Kelly and d. J. Ma
honey.
The post will be named in honor of
Captain Allan Mutt, the local aviator
who made the supreme sacrifice while
fighting Hun aeroplanes over mo
Mans Land" Captain Mutt was
among the eight heroes of the b0r-
ough who gave their all, and the NAM
ing of the post in his honor would
doubtless meet with the approval of
every patriotic person in the borough.
Mayor Caden is going to call a
meeting of citizens interested in the
organization of the post in the Bor-
ough Hail. at which plans for the for
nation will be discussed.
AS there are 251 young men from
this town who will be entitled to be-
come members of the post, it should
be among the strongest of the Legions
in this county.
E. G.-Why not use the name of
Harvey Griffin as the name? No doubt
he was the most popular of all the
boys who died in the service.

article except the last paragraph, evil

log, as far as his place among men
goes. 1t never pays to lay too much
stress upon individuals, except as
they really become useful to humanity.
We have looked too much to men. The
Kaiser, mere atom, can do neither
harm nor good. Take him out and
shoot him and nothing would be ac-
complished 1t would be merely an
item in the days news. He was
born weakling, which wasn't his
fault. He never did anything worth
while. He was just nonenity with
power which he finally welded to his
own undoing, and the wrecking of
Germany. Kidding the world of two
such air bubbles as the Kaiser and
his son, the ex-Crown Prince would
be making room for better men in
whose way they now are. 1t would
be saving the supplies they now con-
sumo for better men-that's all.

VILLAGE GOSSIP
Yes, From Boston.

In one of the southern training
camps a profane and perspiring infan-
try sergeant was doing his best to
pound into the heads of a squad of eX-
ceedingly raw rockies the rudiments
of military science.
When the sergeant gave an order
each willing recruit of the squad made
a commendahle effort to execute it,
but every little rookie had movement
all his own, with highly unsatisfac-
tory results.
"As you were!' bawled the sergeant.
At this point the proceedings were
interrupted by recruit from Boston,
who before enlisting had been a Har-
ward student.
