With the closing or slowing down Of
many war industries there will be a
necessary shift of Industrial work. but
this country has for two years been
short or many essentials in domestic
trade which can now be given in plenty
and with little reduction of actual la
Dor. Those who fear that changes
will come so rapidly as to promote rev.
dictionary ideas should remember that
our great task In this war is not yet
completed. 1t is more than probable
that we shall keep 100000 men in
Europe for more than year. This,
with the resumption of normal manu-
featuring, ought to act as a sort Of
brake to stabilize industries and make
the new organization the more easily
effected.

Students of Asiatic problems per-
ceive a dazzling light in the east in the
formation of the new Siberian republic
that developed so amazingly and will
so revolutionize age-old concepts of
the far eastern question. 1t is too
early. perhaps, for the world to realize
what the bringing of western democ-
racy to the east-incidentally to the
bigger half of the habirable globe
means in the development of the entire
human problem, but great things are
coming out of Asia.

It is not too much to say that the
universal recognition by the American
people OF the necessity of individual
saving and conservation was one Of
the principal factors that won the VIC
tory over Germany. For If they had
not complied so generally with the food
regulations it would have been impos-
sible to keep the people of the allied
countries supplied with the necessities
of life. The war would have been lost
through the failure of sustenance of
those who were bearing the heaviest
burden of 1t.

Y. w. C.. A. COMMITTEE
IN GRANT COUNTY

Miss Clara S. Roe of New York
City, national secretary of the Y.
w. G. A. and Miss Josephine Sechler
of Chicago, special worker for the
association, are in Lancaster in the
interest of the reconstruction program
of the association.
A Y. w. G. A. committee of young
women is being appointed by Miss
Roe with Miss Ethel UT as chair
man. Other Lancaster young women
who are appointed members of the
committee are Esther Henkel, Leila
Goble, Harriet Marks, Marie Knapp,
Grace Stone, Margaret Schreiner and
Lorraine Wilson. Young women from
other towns of the county will be adj
died.
The function of this committee is
to give publicity to the reconstruction
work of the Y. w. C. A. 1t is the plan
of the committee to provide Y. w.
G. A. tent at the Welcome Home Gel
ebration July 4th. Good things to eat
will be provided and the proceeds will
go to the carry on" fund for the re-
construction work of the national Y.
w. G. A.
Miss Roe says these young women
will make their work for the carry on
fund a great success. They hope to
clear at least $500 and at the same
time do bit of community service in
helping welcome home our soldiers
and sailors in true Y. w. c. A. spirit.
The committee is undertaking this
work because it believes the far
reaching plans of the national Y. w.
C. A. as they affect the welfare and
happiness OF the girls of the nation
should have their support and also
because they want to have some part
as Just girls in the Welcome Home
celebration.
Miss Roe says the two war funds
have made it possible for the Chris
tan women of America through the
Y. w. C. A. to do war work of
which we are all proud. The carry on
fund is to make it possible for us to
do a peace time service that is just
as necessary and just as patriotic. In
these days of testing of ideals and of
misunderstanding between social
and racial groups any movement
which serves to unite the women and
girls of all races and classes is ire
mendously important. The Y. w. G. A.
stands for the all-around chance for
each individual girl and at the same
time for the common good. $50
