The legislature ought to be liberal
with appropriations for state institu-
tons. First, because of the great needs
and the restrictions on buildings for
several years. Second, because the
building trades were harder hit by the
war than any others, and buildings
would furnish large variety of en-
Ployment, a subject Of the utmost i'm
portance at this time. The problem of
unemployment is a serious one for the
nation and the state. It is no trouble
to talk and wave the flag and say that
social disorder is alien to our soil and
there are ways of redressing griev-
ances. A man out of work with a fam
lily to support and even without fam
lily, is q man who needs attention,
whether in Europe or America. Out
side Of the need for buildings for the
state institutions, which no one at all
acquainted with conditions can deny,
there is the fact that great social
problem can he helped in its solution.
Building materials are still high, and
likely to be for some time The small
builder is disposed to wait. Wages are
high, also, and to attempt to reduce
Inem "AIhout corresponding Teuuct1On
in the cost of living, will be a serious
matter. 1t is a fact, however, that
taking wages as a whole, their increase
has been much less than the increase in
the cost of living. A great readjust-
ment is to be made, and with good will
all around, can be made without dang
er. The state should take the initia.
tive, secure what is admittedly needed
and at the same time fulfill tremend.
Gus social need. Building construction
has IN advantage over road work, In
that many more varieties Of trades nay
be employed "a

Springfield Republican,: Dissatisfac-
ton over the slow return Of the SOL
diers to civil life is rapidly increasing
in England and, indeed, in the British
army itself. An English father wants
to know why his son, under Is, who had
only just begun his training for war, is
being kept in the army by red tape.
''The recently arrived American
troops" he says, "seem to be return
ing to the United States very prompt
~ and in their thousands-evidently
they know how to cut red tape:
Still, there is abundant criticism on this
side also. There is perhaps much pub
lie opinion back of the unreasonable de-
mand of Representative Green of Iowa
that all drafted men who do not wish
to remain abroad be Immediately dis
charged, yet discharges on such basis
might demoralize the army in France
much more successfully than they
would demobilize it.

LIMITS ARMIES o.
CENTRAL POWERS
SUPREME COUNCIL AGREES ON
TERMS ADMITTING THEM TO
LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
PACTs ARE NOT AFFECTED
Arthur J. saifour Says Existing ALL
anoes Between Various Powers
Remain in Force Under In
ternational Union Plan. 4~

Paris, Feb. g. Tho special
committee which 10 drawing W
tho constitution for the league Of
nations has agreed, professionally,
to tho preamble and two Of the
articles, It 10 officially announced.
Satisfactory progress 10 being
made on other parts Of the draft.
Paris, Feb. Gin the course of dis
cussion Of ornaments by, the peace
council 1t was agreed that when the
Central Powers are accepted into the
league OF nations the league shall fix
the size Of their armies.
As for tho other nations the dele
gates appeared to favor no radical
change in ornaments at present but
the reduction Of each country's army
to a point consistent with the mainte-
nance of domestic tranquility; the
league itself to be the ultimate Judge
as to the size of the army and navy
to be used by the member nations.
Only great emergencies would be
likely to call such armies to distant
points. In the event of trouble on the
American continent the United States
would be directed by the league to
take action. Similarly European
troubles would be settled by nations
nearest the districts affected.
Won't Affect Alliances.
Existing alliances between the vari-
GUS nations will not be affected by
the existence of the Society of Ma
tons now in process of formation, 1t
was declared by Arthur J. Balfour.
1.-THE constitution of the League of
Nations" said the British foreign Sec
rotary, will involve no modification
of tho treaties of alliance previously
concluded.
: "As to the question whether special
coalitions of two or several peoples
could be formed aside from the
league" Mr.. Balfour added, "the con-
ference alone can decide"
Canada n Premier Favors League.
The Excelsior prints a statement of
Sir Robert Borden, prime minister of
Canada, in which Sir Robert declined
to make any informal statement on
the provisional decisions of the peace
declaring that he consid-
cred haphazard discussions might be
harmful to the rapidity of the labors
of the conference. The premier, how
ever spoke of the question of the
German colonies and a League of Ma
lions.
Canada has no territorial claims"
he said. "Our Intervention in the war
by the side of Great Britain and
France, was and still is disinterested.
The problems studied by the peace
conference are of too difficult and
delicate a nature for me to indicate
the possible or desirable solutions.
Places League Plans First.
The proposal for League of Ma
lions comes before all other considera.
lions. It is so important that no
thoughtful man can refuse to give It
his support. If the i've great nations
are unprepared to abstain from certain
considerations in order to unite with
the other nations in resolve to main
tain worldwide peace, the sacrifices
Of the last four years will have been
in vain"

Apparently the mistakes Of the war
are to be the basis of the national re-
publican campaign next year. If that
is good stuff, then the great achieve
ments Of the war are the glory OF a
democratic administration. No DOUBT
there were mistakes, and SO there were
in the Civil war, but the party that had
the administration then took all the
glory, and was perpetuated in power
for wears because of it.

BUILD
UP
AND
PLANT

The building of new
homes and the repairing
of old ones is now on in
full blast, and Seattle has
taken on the appearance
of former years when
home building in this city
was at its height.
Our citizens realize that
it is better to get into
their own homes now than
keep on paying rent for
ever.
There is nothing that
will keep up the ambition
of the individual more
than owning his own
home, with its well-kept
garden.
The watchword from
now on in Seattle is build
or repair the home and
plant the garden.
1t will help the home
owner and the prospective
home builder to go over
the page carefully, as the
business houses on this
page can help them mate
rally in the selection Of
anything that they need.
