Cleveland is asking for the spoils of
war; she wants one of the great can
non captured at Metz for a public
square to stand as a memorial to the
wal and the part her troops played in
it. This is an idea worth considering.
1t seems probable that it is one to meet
with approval from the returning sol
diers, and with the great public, too,
says Rochester Post-Express. There
is more than sentiment in the perpetu-
alton of memory by concrete means.
The memory of this war and of this
nations expedition to end it rightly is
something epoehal in our history that
will live and that ought to be kept
wildly alive.

The war has taught men and wom-
en- the joy of just living to appreciate
innocent amusements-to find happi-
ness in simple things. Men who have
had all that wealth could buy have
found a joy in service they have never
known in the pursuit of selfish pleas
ure. Boys who have come from the
lowest walks in life and have looked
upon those more fortunate than them
selves as their enemies have found
these men simple, friendly comrades.
The comrades of the trench and tent
have found that wealth and poverty
have not made such a great difference
after all; that humanity is not so diff
ferent when one gets to the real heart
of things.

NJ LANGUAGE.

Ten per cent of Americas adult pop
ulation are unable to read the language
of the country, nor understand the dis
cussion of American problems unless it
is conveyed to them through the agen-
cy of some foreign language. Eight
cen per cent of the looming citizens"
of the United States do not attend any
school. One-tenth of the first 100000
men called to the colors in the recent
emergency could not read their orders
to understand them or read letters rel
atives and friends sent them. The fig
ures ae from Secretary Lanes recent
report, in which he urges the vital ne
cessity of carrying on a vigorous cam
paign of Americanization, which shall
end-if it can ever end-when every
adult in America has learned to read,
write and use the language of the
United States, says Cleveland Plain
Dealer. There is room for only one
set of ideals in this country and, ex-
cept for newcomers, there is room for
only Il language. While the teach
ing of English is but one of many
items in the Americanization program,
it is an important one, as the figures
of Secretary Lane proclaims.

The American army in France has
perhaps accomplished as much toward
the pacitication of Mexico as if it had
actually marched through the southern
republic. German propagandists are
very much out of favor. Militarism
is on the decline, and some of the
leaders show a disposition to seek
the smiles of the United States, says
Christian Science Monitor. Mean
while business is improving, and more
new enterprises are being started
than for many years. Such, at least.
are the indications as shown by the
reports which come northward. The
great war has produced many by-prod-
ucts not to be despised.

AMAZING BROOD OF IDOLS.

The world is full these days of til
sound of crashing thrones. The .etty
kings and princes of Germany, clutch
ing at their crowns, are finding they
are mere survivals of the middle ages.
What a spectacle it has been. After
1871, II. G. Wells has pointed out, a
constellation of quasi-divine Teutonic
monarchs, of which the German EN-
peror and the Russian czar were the
bright stars, formed a caste apart, in
termarried only among themselves.

with a mythical w by the ignorant
and foolish in most European coun-
tries. "The marriages." he continues.

ship" How absurd it all seems now.
with the ear overthrow and put to
death, the Hohenzollern and Hapsburg
in flight, and all their petty satellites
ducking for their caves, says Kansas
City Star. Mere vestiges of the spe-
cial privilege of the past they were,
tolerated through the inertia of the
human mind so long as nothing hap
pened to disturb the situation, but
bound to be kicked out when involved
in national humiliation and defeat.

An eastern architect recently re-
marked on 'the mania of Americans
for single dwellings," The mania"
he complains of is peculiar to most of
the human race. Before the war we
didn't call it a mania" We regard
ed it as a manifestation of an entire
ly human love for a home all ones
own. It's a "mania" hard to kill, says
Omaha News. 1t has made this large
ly a nation of homeowners. While
love of home lives society will be safe
from every storm. It's good to be
crazy in that way.

MILLION WORKERS NEEDED.

A preliminary survey of the indus
trial situation made by the department
of labor shows that at the present mo-
ment about 1,000,00G additional work
ers are needed on the farms and on the
railroads of the country. If this is an
accurate index to the situation, there
will be comparatively little difficulty
in getting the returning soldiers set
tied in comfortable and remunerative
employment and meeting the problems
of reconstruction presented by the adj
vent of peace. 1t is the opinion of ex-
pert business men that the United
States is upon the verge of a great in
dustrial boom, one which will grow
gradually as the demands for Ameri-
can goods multiply and the factories
are diverted from war to peace pro-
duction, says Washington Post. That
boom has scarcely begun, and yet it
is reported that there is room for L.
100000 more workers. From this it
may be assumed that when industry
gets into its normal stride the demand
for men will increase accordingly. APP
parently the fear hat great numbers
of workmen in the factories would be
displaced by soldiers and thus create
an overplus of labor in certain lines
is not well founded. 1t seems more
likely that there will be work for all.

The impulse to save and lay up
money, so powerfully stimulated and
so productive during the war, must be
made a permanent force in the nation
al life. We say must be, because the
need itself is imperative, it is vital,
and Of the vital thing that should be
done we are warranted in saying that
it must be done. The thrift habit can
be made universal and permanent in
this country, it will be made so if men
who understand the need and know
the way to meet it will put their hands
to the work.

Sc%hoolchildren in Berlin are de-
handing a share in the administra-
ton of the government. This is not
surprising. Children are apt imita-
tors of their elders, and they are act
ing normally in wanting to have their
part in the general disorganization in
which everybody claims authority. And
this general demand again is accord
ing TO the rule that the pendulum
swings as far to one side as to the
other. The people accustomed to least
liberty go naturally to the other ex-
IRENE of license.

AS an institution, bolshevism is more
frightful than autocracy. Turning to
it as a relief from despotism, men in

if no other relief is in sight. Civiliza-

under despotism, but bOlshevism de-
stroys civilization as quicklime de-
stroYs flesh.

One must not forget that those
items. except commodities taken dur

Practically every county and city in

CHICAGO BAKERS ON A STRIKE
Out of 1000 Plants, Only About $50
Are Running-Strilkers Ask Raise.

Chicago, April 2S.-Bakeries here
today were turning out less than half
of the daily 100000 loaves of bread,
due to the strike of union bakers to-
day
OF the 1000 or more baking plants
about $50 were running to full capac-
ity. having agreed to the terms of the
union. Lack of workers in the rest of
the plants is holding production to less
than 40 per cent.
Strikers assert they will remain out
until a weekly raise is granted them
and night work between IL p. m. and
a. m. is abolished
Chicago, April 2S.-More than five
hundred drivers joined the union bak-
ers strike here today. forcing many
thousands of homes to go breadless
thru non-delivery.
Neighborhood groceries and baking
shops were stripped clean of all bread
and rolls early in the morning. House.
wives must either ride to the big baker
shops for their supply or go without
bread.
Neither the baking companies in
volved or the strikers showed any in
dication of yielding. 1t was said nom
union bakers and drivers would be
brought in to relieve the danger of a
bread famine.
Grocers reported rush for flour,
housewives preparing to bake their
own bread until matters are adjusted
