Very few Of the men were absolutely

all had given up hope Of ever getting
out alive. Though they put up good
front to the Huns. they really did not
care a great deal what happened to
them. The only thing to think about
was the minute they were living In.
The day came back two English.
men. who had suddenly gone mad,
commenced to fight each other. 1t wns
the most terrible fight I have ever
seen. It was some time before the
rest Of us could make them quit, be.
cause at FIRST we did not know they
were crazy. When we had them down,
however. they were scratched and bit

Both of them bled from the nose all
that night. and toward morning one

Another time an Australian came
into our barracks and very seriously

stared at him. It seemed impossible
that any Of our own men would have
the gall to torture US like that, and yet
we could not possibly believe that 1t

 If anyone wants to be convinced of the futility of remaking the world in a single day with pet theories. he should now visit Hungary" was the remark made by an American naval officer. It is es- timated that half million of Hungary s best citizens have been obliged to flee from their homes and wander across the frontiers to strange lands.
 There are many stories of their at tompts to save their lives and property. some of which read like Arabian Night tales. It is calculated that some S,0oo,ooo, = 000 kronen worth of bonds gold coin, jew elry, plate, paintings and work of art lave been saved from the clutches of the red guards. and smuggled across the iron tiers by blockade runners, afoot, on oi- cycles, autos or peasant carts. Within a few weeks there has grown up system by which large percentages of the value of such property, often amounting to o1 per cent have been given for its safe transportation to Vienna or Agram. Not Ia few communists took advantage of such methods of getting valuables out of the cC untry Many jewellers, however, stored th cir stocks under sidewalks or hid them
 in holes dug in their cellars in preference to trusting them to blockade runners.

A contagious fear like that which prevails when an army is in rout is spreading even to foreigners whose persons are compara lively safe from arrest owing to the wishes of Bella Kun, the communist leader, and other ministers to save them selves from the gallows when the grand collapse comes.
 When fathers and sons flee the coun- try to evade arrest or to join the counter revolutionists their wives and mothers whisper at the parting: Let us hope we may meet in happier times.
 When the correspondent of the Associ- ated Press has had occasion to explain his nationality the listener, whether red guard, peasant or civilian, has remarked with envy; What a fortunate man you are, to be an American"

The CnrlStldn lteTalu, Boys and girls who go to work at the end of grammar school rarely get good jobs. The work they find to do is usually unskilled; it offers lltsle training or chance for advancement When they are older they find they are still untrained for the skilled work which offers a future. Many boys and girls when they leave school find work that offers a hish wage for a beginner. But these wages seldom grow because the work re , quires no training.

 table prepared by the United Sta tes bureau of education compares the wages of a group of children who left school at 14 years of age with an other group who left at IS years of age
 At 25 years of age the average boy who had remained in school until IS had received over 5000 more salary than the average boy who left at II and was then receiving over $900 a year more
 This is equivalent to an investment; of $1S,0O0 at per cent. Can a boy increase his capital as fast any other way?

Why Be Faint t-Hearted7 2

J. Ogden Armour, in Leslie s.
 Why should anyone be faint-hearted- We have leaped over the first hurdles in the readjustment period They were not formidable Economic upheavals that many apprehended have not ma terialized. The period of business un- certainty that follows every war IS passing over this country like a sum mer shower rather than violent teln- pest There has been no panic and there will be none. The war proved that America was equal to the mighty task imposed upon her and will be fully equal to demands of the future. There is no reason for anxiety. Our country is the richest in the wori1. Our natural resources are unbounded. We have the most capable and intell.- gent of workers We have the bralns to initiate and develop great industrial enterprises and the capital and orsani- zation skill to carry them forward.
 Everybody must pull together large interests and small interests, producers and consumers, employers and em- ployes. The success of one element cannot be accomplished without the success of all.
 The most thoughtful and progressive leaders of working force realize the t labor alone can not carry on large in- dustrial enterprises. but must have the co-operation-of intelligent direction and capital or the entire economic fabric will be rent as 1t has been in parts of the old world. resulting in Widespread hunger and suffering. The great free press of this country is do- ing much to interpret destructive eX- periments in government which oc- cupy the European stage, so that our people will understand their true sig nificance and ultimate effect The widest dissemination of what is hap penng in the dark spots of Eurove will form a stroxg force for industrial peace in this country.
 Solution of any industrial or social problems that confront our country will not be difficult if we approach them fearlessly and unselfishly in a spirit of mutual justice. fairness and sympathy.
