FIG HTING ITsOUT ON THAT
LINE.

The Union veterans nationa
encampment has demanded
changes in the pending treaty tc
protect American rights. inter-
ests and ideals. The Confeder-
ate veterans encampment has
passed resolutions demanding
adoptment of the covenant as
brought home from Europe, with
out any changes whatsoever.
The Union veterans in the days
of their youth offered their lives
for the preservation of the repub-
lie, and they are still fighting it
out on that line. This paper has
received many letters from Con.
federate veterans indicating that
they stand with the soldiers of
the Grand Army in this new con-
test for the preservation of nat
ional integrity. National Re-
publican.
We are glad to see that Con.
federate veterans can see the
menace that now threatens our
country. and that they have the
patriotism to use their influence
for the preservation of national
independence.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment Halls
Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and
acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur
faces of the System thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, giving the
patient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in the curative powers of Halls
Catarrh Medicine that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

find how shockingly the money

expensive automobiles have con-

war was over, and sent to camps
to be parked in open fields to be

For Much Cheaper Food.

Army officers in the Quartermas-
ter's Department ut Washington are
asking Congress appropriations based
upon their belief that food prices will
not be lower but higher Well, IL they
are, or IL they are anything like as
high. there will be nobody to blame
for it but the Washington Admins
tration. All that is needed now to
send the cost OF living down Is to let
the natural laws work.
1t is only the Governments keep
ing war time food prices lacked up
that can prevent the whole cost OF
living going down and going far down.
The country's wheat crop this year
may amount to 1,1O0,000,0OO bushels,
or it may amount to one. two, or even
three hundred million bushels more
than that. But whether the crop Is
1900, 100000 or 1,10O,O00,0O0 bushels,
with the Government paying the
farmers the contract price of S2.c6 n
bushel there Will he more wheat In
this land by hundreds Of millions of
bushels than the American people can
consume and than the Government
can sell abroad. If, In spite Of such
an overabundance. the Government
compels the American consumers to
buy their bread on the basis of S2.26
wheat, the Government can keep other
food prices up; the Government can
create famine prices in food; the Gov
eminent can cause severe want among
the American people.
But If the Government lets the price
of wheat 70 down to American con
sumers by putting the wheat on the
open market subject to the laws Of
supply and demand. the price If AL
other grains ana foods must 90 down
with the price of wheat. II corn goes
down, for example beef and mutton
must go down: milk and butter and
cheese 60 down; poultry and eggs 20
down. As those basic foods 80 down
everything else goes down.
II the United States Government
although paying the farmer S2.@j n

the consumer as the Unitei States
Government should do. the Congress

slider 10 Ter cent. higher food for the

army rations with all other foods to a
dead certainty will be lower, very
much lower than they are now or

would be accepted In humiliation. under
duress at an intolerable sacrifice. and
would leave a sting. resentment, a
bitter memory upon which terms OF
peace would rest, not permanently, but
only as upon quicksand."
We recall this remarkable utterance
merely TO Illustrate the ease with
which events dispose of words. There
was no peace without victory. and vic
tory meant "a victor's terms imposed
upon the vanlulshed"; yet we hear
nothing from Paris to indicate that

Mr.. Schwab Discovers In France an
Economic Truth in America.

There is nothing new for readers
of THE Sun IN the discovery OF
CHARLES NJ. SCHwAB, the great steel
man now in France, that In the
devastated regions of that country
there will be little or no reconstruc-
ton work for America. Some seven
weeks ago this Newspaper, in this
very column, made that fact clear,
with the simple explanation that the
great bulk OF the structures de-
stroyed in France and in Belgium
was of stone and brick. The rebuild
ing will be OF stone and brick. done
with French material and by
French hands.
For those who knew anything
about France there never was any
question about this. For those who
ton in the United States the hallu-
cination that excessive prices could
be held up here by pouring our steel
into Europe for the peace work of
reconstruction as our steel had been
poured into Europe for the war work
of destruction was as wild an eco
nomic dream as ever was dreamed.
The hope Of American industry does
not lie in n huge demand by deyas-
tated France and destitute Germany
and chaotic Russia for cur steel, ont
copper. our fuel and other basic ma
terlnls for manufacture. There is 10
such huge demand there will he none
for long time. Our industrial proul-
Use lies and will lie at home.
Here in the United States there Is
q wide and there will be contlnu-
Gus market for those artlcles--at The
right prices. While this country has
been ut war, and while before we our
selves were ut war, this country was
supplying Europe with war material,
our normal industry and our normal
business were starved of their nor
NAL supplies. Our normal industry
and our normal business are ready
now togo ahead again full speed
when normal supplies can be had at
something like normal prices. They
will not go ahead on any basis OF abb
normal war prices.
The building that would like t.
begin in this country, the manufac-
ture that would like 10 begin In this
country, the merchandising that
would like to begin in this country
are all waiting for prices and general
economic conditions that will permi,
them to do normal bnsiness--the only
kind of business that can be done
in worth while and continuous vol
ume. now that the war Is over.
The worst thing that can happen
TO American capital, the worst thing
that can happen to American labor
the worst thing that can happen II
American institutions is for this
waiting for normal markets to go or
and on while the nations industrial
power and vigor ooze away.
Get down to normal markets and
we can resume business. Resume
business and We can thrive and pros.
per, though we never do penny OF
reconstruction work In Europe, Asia
or Africa.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-!Ths horneward
flow OF American fighting units which
had the opportunity to distinguish them
selves In action will soon begin.
Tho War Department announced to-
day that three famous National Guard
divisions - the Twenty-seventh New
York;, Thirtieth ovid Cat) and the
Thirty-seventh (Buckeye)-had been or
dered to prepare for embarkation. There
was no information as to when the divi-
sions would start from French ports. but
heretofore 1t has required several weeks
for units to embark after being assigned
to early convoy.
Divisions having a distinguished night
ing record and others having a distlnc-
tive local identity in the United States
will be kept together after their return
from France until they can be paraded
at home and receive the welcome that
the people are anxious to bestow upon
them.
No definite plans as TO the three diVi-
sions now designated for early return
have been made here, but II Is assumed
at tho War Department that tie various
units of each division will be sent home
close together so that II will be no hard
ship upon the men who arrive first to
keep them organized until the entire
division can be paraded.
