by the Constitution treaty is only a
proposal until approved by the SEN
ate. 1t was expected that
the conclusion of the war" would
precede the termination of demobili-
cation. Congress, therefore, provided
that the time when the act ceased to
be operative should be fixed by the
presidents ascertaining and proclaim
ing the date when demobilization had
terminated.
What President Meant
1t is insisted that he has done so.
The contention does violence to both
the language and the evident purpose
of the provision. When the
president mentioned in his veto mes
sage the rehabilitation of the army
and navy the words we're doubtless
used in popular sense, just as he had
declared to Congress, on the occasion
of the signing OF the armistice: "The
war thus comes to an end" II he had
believed on Oct. %, 1919, that demo-
biization had, in an exact sense, ter
minated, he would doubtless have is
sued then a proclamation to that eff
feet; for he had manifested strong
conviction that restriction upon the
sale of liquor should end. Only by
such proclamation could the purpose
of Congress be attained, and the seri-
GUS consequences attending uncer-
tainty be obviated
Rehabilitation Not Ended
But in fact rehabilitation had not
terminated at the time of the veto of
the act OF Oct. %, 1919. or at the time
these suits were begun; and for aught
that appears it has not yet termn-
ated. The report OF tn esecretary of
war made to the president under date
of Nov. II, 1919 land transmitted to
Congress on Dec. y in describing the
progress of rehabilitation shows
(P. ~ that during the preceding ten
days (Nov. l-10) 2,0l8 officers and
1926 enlisted men had been dis
charged; the rate of discharge being
substantially the same as during the
month of October--in which 5000
officers and $4,000 enlisted men were
discharged.

in-chief he still keeps a part of the
army in enemy occupied territory and
another part in Siberia; and that he
has refrained from issuing the proc
lamation declaring the termination of
rehabilitation for which this act pro-
yidcs.

Wait Till Treaty is Ratified

But there is nothing in the words
used to justify such construction.
Conclusion of the war" clearly did
not mean cessation of hostilities; be-
cause the act was approved ten days
after hostlities had ceased upon the
signing of the armistice. Nor ma.
we assume that Congress intended by
the phrase to designate the date when
the treaty of peace should be signed
at Versailles or elsewhere by German
and American representatives. since

Inc above sketch is Mr.. q. W..
Burbank, who was retired from the
C. & N. w. Railway at Mo. Valley,
on January 1, 1919, after serving the
Company for nearly forty years
Mr. Burbank commenced working
for the Company at Mo. Valley, March
II, 1879, as machinist and worked in
that capacity until March 1, 1888
when he was appointed Machine shop
Foreman and held that position until
he was retired, January l. 1919.
There were many many changes
in Master Mechanics and General Fore
men during these forty years.
During the time that Mr.. Burbank
was foreman, about $50 apprentices
through the shops and all served
three years in his department. These
young men have proven themselves
valuable to the company, quite num-
remaining with the company and are
numbered among the most efficient
and trusted men. Many have gone
to other roads and are holding respon-
sible positions such as Supt. of Motive
Power, Master Mechanic, General
Foreman, etc. At one time Mr.. Bur-
bank had 90 machinist apprentices
on his shop roll and, at the time, they
had group picture taken, with Mr..
Burbank in the center. Mr.. Burbank
prizes this picture very highly.
On the eve Of his retirement, Mr..
Burbank received letters from num-
Der of the Northwestern officials in
Chicago, congratulating him on his
long and faithful service with the
Company. One high official said a
lifetime in the service of one Railroad
speaks volumes for mans work and
is a record of which they all are proud
and he hoped Mr.. Burbank would live
many years to enjoy the pension
which had been granted him and
wanted him to feel that he is still a
part Of the Northwestern family.
Despite his long years of service
Mr.. Burbank is hale and hearty and
! does not look to be within twenty
years of the retiring age. He is as
active as most of the men who served
their apprenticeship under him.
Forty years consecutive service for
one Railroad is record Of which to
be proud it's true, but the record he
holds with the men with whom he
came in daily contact. is even more
enviable. There is not man in the
shops rat who wolll swear by Mr..
Burbank as he has always dealt with
them on me square and with justice
and impartiality.
We ccngrat date Mr.. Burbank IN
reaching his sevcntieth milestone
with such perfect health and enjoy
ing the confidence and good will of
his fellow men and we hope that many
more years Of joyous life are granted
him to enjoy the fruits of his many
years of service.

Paris ~ The kid said, aAll right, dad;
you're boss So they started out
and they tried every way for four
years to get there. On November 10
the clown prince went to the kaiser
and said, "Say, dad. to hell with
Paris; let's go to Holland" the kaiser
said, "Vell." and they went. The war
is over, so you see the only thing it
took to win the war was to change
the kaiser's plans. Very simple, is
it not.
I got myself comrade today. l
guess will bring him home with me.
He is Russian. He has been pris-
oner in Germany for over three years.
They are all coming this way. They
will not let them 60 back to Russia,
as there is not food for those who
are there. got one and gave him q
bar of soap and told him to go down
to the creek and knock off the scales
at least. He looked at me and said,
"Tis goot." 1 compreid "tis goot" but
that was all l did compreid.
I PACED the dude down to the brook.
He took off his shoes and started to
unwind rags from his feet. He had
coolies. He took off his cap and one
or two other articles and that boy
was ready to finish his bath. He had
more coolies than the whole American
army. They all ran for the stream
to get drink and ait went dry. He
had some, didn't he? No joking, you
could see them. / know some Of them
were entitled to two service stripes.
gave him an American uniform
He now looks like big town guy.
By the way, it is amusing to see
the American uniform on some poor
guy from every nation under the sun
that has been cleaned and dolled up
by an American soldier. To continue,
my "comrad" was picking scraps from
our garbage can when ! first noticed
him. He was simply famished. gave
him a bunk and a couple Of blankets
and if he doesn't walk off in his
sleep, in the morning I will put him
to work. I will fill his pockets with
old shells and let him sell them to the
11sth boys for souvenirs. They won't
know the difference. It's oil new stuff
to them. Poor fellow, he's got to have
little "jack" for Christmas. don't
suppose Christmas will be a very
big thing for the. little ones this year,
Why? Because Santa may be afraid
of the Flu.
All right, dad. I'll quit. Love to all.
Your son,

Letter from Francis McDermott

Duquy. France. Dec. S. 1918
Dear Father & Brother John: y
Well 1 am still in France, but do
not expect to be here very much lon
ger. am just four miles from Verdun.
have been in the city many times,
and do not care to go up there again.
1t is wild place now. Trains are
waiting at every station along the
pike for passengers for Verdun, but
they cannot take them all. There are
three roads running in there and they
are all doing big business at present.
Besides feeding the armies, they are
sending food to Germany. Our train
crews turn their trains over to Ger
man crews on some of the pixies. You
would laugh if you could see some
of the tracks. The other side of Yer
dun, two months ago, it was No Mans
land. The rails have been put togeth-
er while the train waited to cross
over it. would rather ride in Ford
than on it.
Well things look good for an early
return home. The 118th engineers are
here with us now. They are learning
the road. They have operators at near
ly every station, SO I think our time
is short over here The 118th landed in
France in October, and are talking
about going home. We have been here
fifteen months longer. than they and
what mean, things are different
now than when we landed. You can
get something to eat now.
Say, dad, have question to ask
you and John. am sure if you get to-
gether you can answer it. This is what
it is: What ended the war? Some
said money would do it. Others said
ships; some, an army, and there were
a thousand different ways that would
end it. Now this is what I think did
it: The Kaiser said to the clown
prince, what do you say we 60 e
