martial manners and modes of life,
have welded the arny's young men
into stronger, potentially greater fac
tors in the republics civil career, than
they would have been had they never
shouldered a rifle or marched in
squads. They bring back to civilian
life-and to their work--a more highly
trained set of mental processes, a
more nnatured outlook on life, in its
serious aspects, and more keenly de-
veloped sense of what constitutes OPP
portunity and how to grasp it, than
they went away with.
Better rRinds, better ideals--this
ought to mean better jobs, and in
goodly proportion of cases it will.
All the soldiers who left their posi-
tons in factories, mills, foundries and
shops, arc not going to get back their
old jobs! Not by long shot. They
are going to get better jobs! EN-
ployers, patriotic or otherwise, are
business men. They realize and fully
appreciate what army training does
fer the average man, and they win not
be anxious to put men in their old
jobs, If they can put them into places
of higher responsibility, and thus real
lie financially on the general improve
ment which the War Department has
made in the employee. Thus the war
will mean increased earning power to
both the employer ard the soldier he
re-engages.
The American private acknowledges
no superior among the men in the
armies Of the world in Intelligence, nor
in lighting ability We are all familiar
with stories Of lone U. S. A. p-ivates

bred Chinese coolies in construction

WELcoME--AND WORK

Soldiers returning to civil life will
find fully as much welcome extended
to them as they have been led to ez-
pect in accounts Of communities pre-
pairing to assimilate their soldiers in
to Industrial and commercial activity
There may crop out instances of I'm
grateful, unpstriotic employers who
will fail to see in the new civilian the
sacrifice and achievement of the SOL
der which demands cordially and a
helping hand. But such instances, if
they appear. will be isolated, and only
go to prove the general spirit of well
come prevailing in the United States.
Those men who have fought over
seas, and those who have given serv-
ice in the training camps in this coun-
try, will have more to offer to their
employers than when they went away
to war. The fortunate ones who are
their own employers will, equally so,
have more to aid themselves in their
respective methods of earning live
lihood.
All men either progress or retro
grade. Either they pass the corner Of
uncertainty and step successfully
ahead, or they despair of overcoming
obstacles and fail to advance from
then on. Beset by seeming difficult
ties, they forget that ones own in
ward determination.-the intelligence
which thinks constructively can buoy
them up and help them to rise above
obatructions in the business of life.
Probably many men were at this
critical juncture when the army called
them into service. Unquestiouably
the army has helped to eliminate this
sense of confidence which de.
tered their steps. And those who had
not yet encountered the crisis in af.
fairs which somtimes weakens the
will until it is burdcned with sense
of defeat, undoubtedly will be able te
meet and to master any nisgivingS as
to their ability to progress.
