Zones Of Assistance. .

In place OF the old spheres of influence,
we are TO have, it seems, q new thing in
the, world, and that new thing is zones
of assistance" What are zones of as
sistance? The answer is easy. There are
many nations in the world that are in.
capable Of unasssted self government.
They are politically in state Of rudi
mentary development, Among them are
practically all the native nations of Asia
and Africa, except the japanese and TIVE
hope the Chinese. In Europe the cate
CORY may include several of the new ma
tions which the war has brought into ex Z
istence. These nations need assistance
from stronger powers. So the great pow
ers, under the latest suggestion, are TO
apportion the guardianship of these more
or less dependent nations among them
selves. dividing the undeveloped world
up into zones of assistance"
All Of which is very plain. but the dis.
tinction between the new zones of as,
sistance and the old spheres of influence
may not be quite to plain As a matter
Of fact, it is not plain al all The new
phrase is just part Of the new interna-
tional hypocricy. The simple fact is that
the great powers. in their own defense,
must exercise protection over countries
that cannot protect themselves. Looking
out first for their own interests, the
powers find II possible to guard at the
same time the interests Of the depend,
ent nation. Call it protection. call il
influence, call it assistance, il is the same
thing, aud wherever it is extended it il
the result Of strength on one side and Of
weakness on the other
We may wen pray to be delivered from
the wave Of verbal camouhage which is
flooding our international relations. Here
in America we have certain things to
do in the world, and they are not differ
ent now from what they were before this
hypocritical epidemic set in. We still
have the Monroe doctrine to maintain in
its full integrity, and we shall maintain
it. We still have our interests in the Pa
eifc to look after. and we shall guard
them, Great Britain and France viii do

must be an actual shortage of labor, all
kinds and grades included, in the United
States to-day, even if in sections or 10
caiIlies the phenomena of idleness ap-
pear. Winter. Of course. is not a time
when there would be special demand
for agricultural labor, bat when the
planting season opens again it will prob
ably be found that there is none too
much labor on the farms
The special problem of the government
is not to release munitions workers and
soldiers faster than they can be alb
sorbed by industry. The most highly
developed agencies for the distribution
of labor among productive occupations
would be quickly swamped if demobiIiza-
tion were to proceed at too fast a pace.
At this time, too, the process of the re-
absorption of labor into industry is halt
ed by the hesitation observed among
manufacturers relative to new commit
ments in civilian business, They would
go slow in the hope of lower prices for
raw materials later on. There is also to
some extent the complication of women
in industry, who We're brought in to take
the place, formerly filed by men drafted
into the army The process Of demo
bilization thus becomes experimental, in
practice, in the sense that it must be reg
ulated by results.
The results in this region, at least, al
ready service as a warning Unempioy-
ment here is becoming a menace. Not
withstanding the keenness of the war
and navy departments to reduce expen-
ditures, the government must demobil-
ibe munitions workers less speedily. Not
withstanding the craze Of soldiers every
where to be discharged and the political
pressure they and their relatives are
bringing to bear in favor of their dis
charge on wholesale scale, the govern
ment must not hasten the army's de
mobilization. This seems imperative if
the winter is to pass without an unem
ployment problem vexatioas and trOu-
besome to all concerned.-Springfeld

view OF the fact That the government
munitions plans here have been so large
ly emptied of their workmen since the
signing Of the armistice We may fairly
expect government CO. operation and even
federal aid in some form in preventing
an unemployment crisis.
1t is not unlikely that in Springfield
case the government can best contrib
ute to the solution Of this aspect of the
rehabilitation problem by keeping up
high production at the national armory
longer than an economical administration
would permit. This would be a make
shift, but makesshifts may soon be nee

turbances far more costly than the man

OF buffer employment" is not its actual
economic value, but its value as social
insurance The national ,armory is a
government plant which the government
can use iusuring and reinsuring the couu-
try against the disturbances attending
the rehabilitation period.
In this vicinity we happen to be in
the line of pressure which develops spe-
cial problems in the readjustment pro.
cess. Where the war industries have
been largely concentrated, uncmploy-
ment may easily become acute as those
industries are slowed up. Unemploy-
ment. as yet, is a local problem; wher-
ever It is in evidence wage-earners, man
ufacturcrs and business men may draw
encouragement from this fact. 1t seems
impossible that in the United States
as a whole unemployment should be gen
eral; even if it were general it could not
stay so any length Of time. For there
has been virtually no immigration into
the country for nearly five years. and
there are still in the military service
nearly 100000 men who were directly
withdrawn from the productive economic
life of the nation, while the war was in
active prosecution. Statistioally there

CAPTURED NEWSPAPER OFFICE
Loyal Troops Carried Kreuz Zeitung
Plant By Storm.

Berlin, Saturday, Jan. ] (By the As
sociated Press Loyal troops have car
ried by storm the Buexenstein printing
plant, where the kreuz Zeitung is print
ed Many citizens had sbeen killed and
wounded recently by bolshevists firing
from the windows of this building.
The capture of the Vorwaerts build
ing, near that of the KreuH Zeitung, was
carried out by approximately 500 loyal
troops. They first destroyed an en-
trenehment in front of the building con
Fsting of rolls of printing paper behind
which two machine guns had been in
stalled. Two shots from mine tlfrower
swept away the whole fertilization with
the gun crew. The Spartacans sent
white flag party forward but were told
that nothing but unconditional surrender
would be considered Two mine throwers
and two field guns then began a sys-
tematic bombardment and soldiers
worked their way forward with machine
guns and finally stormed the building
They met with little resistance inside
the defenders being mostly civilians, in
Guiding some Russians.
The courtyard was filled with dead and
wounded and 800 prisoners, including a
number of Russians, were taken. Among
The prisoners was a man understood to
be the bolsheyist agent Cheyinne. Many
defenders were buried in the ruins The
attackers lost three killed and several
wounded The front Of the building was
badly damaged and part of the plant
was wrecked but the presses were UNI
hurt.
Three thousand loyal troops marched
in to-day from Lichterfede, suburb
southwest of the city They were re-
ceived by the citizens with rejoicing
They were mainly younger troops from
the front, wearing iron crosses and med
ais showing that many of them had been
wounded from one to five times They
maintained their old discipline and sang
Rs they marched. Many officers marched
In the ranks as privates and carried rifles.
The troops brought field guns and scores
Of machine guns.
To the Associated Press the soldiers
expressed their indignation against the
Spartacans, All appeared to be thirst
ing for a fight To-day's arrivals were
only the vanguard OF others encamped
around Berlin. 1t is understood that
about 10000 more troops are ready to
march into Berlin. II is learned that the
troops exacted as condition that they
would not by interfered with by the gov
ernment and would be allowed to wipe
ont the followers Of DR.. Karl Liebknecht
in their own way.

Schoolmas ters from Russia.

The world az large will note with lan-
guild interest the establishment at Mos
COW of school of anarchy where agita-
tors from all nations are to receive train
ing as revoEutionists.
Unless this is an attempt by some en-
terprising pedagogue to deprive Lenin
Trotgky and other learned masters Of
bolshevism of the monopoly of tutorship
which they now enjoy, it hardly seems
worth while. In the great university of
deviltry recently founded at Petrograd
there is instruction not only in the
theory but the practice Of revolution,
and by means of elaborate extension
courses the art has been carried to mil
lions OF people.
Thanks to the greater enlightenment
of most other nations, schoolmasters
from Russia are not likely to have
cordial welcome when they 90 abroad

Introduces Pedigreed Seed.

The farm bureau OF ST. Claire county
Mich, has to its credit an accomplish
ment which viii mean much TO the fu-
ture of the county Due TO an unfavor
able season the wheat crop was practi-
cally a failure, and the growers were
obliged to obtain seed from an outside
source, In the natural course of events
the elevators would have shipped in seed
some from one point some from another
and the result would have been several
kinds of wheat and none of it pure. At
meeting of the executive committee of
the farm bureau the county agent was
instructed to take orders for Red Rock, a
superior variety of pedigreed wheat. Or
ders for 1900 bushels came in promptly.
and the agent went to st. Joseph county.
in the western part Of the state, and
through the assistance of the farm bu.
reau Of that county, easily obtained a
carload of wheat that had passed rigid
inspection, both in the field and after
threshing. BY buying in carload lots
through their organization the farmers
of st. Claire county saved 30 cents a
bushel, but a still more important fea
ture OF the method was that they OBJ
tanned a high grade of seed, thus prepqr.
ing the way for producing standard
variety of grain.

EMPLOYMENT PROBLEMS.
Municipal State and Federal Govern
ments Should Offer Work.

In order to solve unemployment prob
lens in the transition period from war
to peace as readily and promptly as
possible, there should be no hesitation on
the part Of the municipal state and fed
eral governments in providing buffer
employment for people temporarily out
of work. Construction enterprises of a
public nature should be pushed wherever
such an enterprise had been sufficiently
advanced at the outbreak of the war to
make it practicable now 10 revive it. The
proposed Connecticut river bridge in this
| city would seem to come within this class
Of construction projects. The common
wealth can again do what il did few
winters ago in employing labor in recla-
nation and forestry work The federal
government can aid by the construction
of public buildings and promoting other
public works.
| No legal obstacle prevents the federal
government from pushing construction
work already authorized by Congress and
for which money had been appropri-
ated when the war began. During the
| hostilities with Germany the treasury
department held up these enterprises
with good reason, but the administrative
ban upon them should 10 removed whcr-
ever such action would absorb idle labor
| The ban need not be removed every
where If there is no unemployment
| problem in Omaha or Kansas City, it is
not necessary to erect new government
! postoffices there Immediately even If au-
= s
has been authorized in the Connecticut
valley, now is the time to push its con
struction. For in the Connecticut valley
| there is growing unemployment prob
| lem due to the discharge of munitions
workers. In short, the government must
use its discretion in promoting public
! works so as to furnish aid where it is
most needed
The federal governments effective and
| timely aid will be more difficult to oh
| tain if public workers anywhere must
still be authorized by Congress Nothing
| Of this character is ever authorized save
through "logrolling' and pork barrel
methods-unless a grave emergency
forces special legislation. A public build
ing or rivers and barbors bill for the
whole country is not to be desired, yet
all congressman would probably seek
something for their districts in case the
opportunity should be offered and thus
| the concentration of government effort
most needed in particular localities or
| sections, would be lost A new postoiiice
building, moreover, started now as a leg
slative project would have to pass
through so many stages that a year
might easily elapse before a stone or a
brick could be laid; and the special in
! dustrial need for it as "buffer employ
ment" might have then passed away.
Yet present unemployment problems
! are peculiarly var problems and, there
fore, they are federal as well as state
and municipal problems. The United

the home plate until the 4th inning
when they counted two more on a
hit and stolen base by w. Leisure

passed ball which let in Brown,
who had gotten a two base hit. The
other score was home run by West
