yVTHAT is peace worth to you?
wv That, in the mind of D. c. Wills,
chairman of the Central Liberty Loan
Committee for the Fourth Federal Re
serve District, is the question which
Uncle Sam will be asking the nation
next April when he announces the
terms of the Fifth Liberty Loan. In
recent interview in Cleveland Wills
expressed the thought that the total
subscriptions to the Fifth Loan would
be one measure OF the sincerity of the
thousands and thousands of persons
who could be heard before the sign
ing of the armistice protesting loudly
their willingness to give everything
they had for a speedy and victorious
peace.
"And / believe that there was sin
cerity behind these protestations,
Wills continued my belief in my
neighbor and my fellow-countrymen is
so strong that ] feel certain the Fifth
Loan will be subscribed. whatever its
amount.
Those of us who stayed at home
are of the same caliber as those boys
who went overseas and kept the Hun
on the run till armistice Nday. The
tenacity, the aggressiveness, the
squareness, the fidelity to duty which
made the American soldier the talk Of
the world are all characteristics, as
well, of the home folk. They are In
gradients of Americanism and will
play their part in the meeting of OBJ
legations of the war and the after-the-
war period just as they did on the
battlefields.
"The terms of the Fifth Loan have
not yet been decided The amount is
not yet known But ! think / know
the answer of America when the gov
ernment says to US next spring. Here
is your peace: here is your victory.
What is it worth to your"

Children Starving
In New York City Because
Of High Cost of Staple Foods.

New York.-A representative of the
Associated Press is responsible for the
startling revelations which follow, dis
tressing and almost unbelievable as
they appear at this season of the year
when all people are anticipating pleas

Aroused by reports that, with

Liberty Bonds Make Us
Nation of Bondholders

Before the end of this year the
United States Treasury will probably
be able to report twenty-five million
debt holders where formerly there
were few owners of Government
bonds outside the national banks.
Including war savings, as do the
English figures, Uncle Sans invest
ment family may run up to forty mil
lion people.
Do not these millions of new in.
vestors consider themselves rich from
savings and loans to the Government !?
To those who have any doubt of the
nations ability to float a Fifth Liberty
Loan next April these figures should
prove heartening.
Estimates Of bondholders in this
country before the First Liberty Loan
place the number at 100000.

BY JOHN MITCHELL
Chairman, New York State Industrial
Commission.

Here in America we do not need re-
construction or rehabilitation We
need, rather, to take up the work of
readiustment on broad and intelli-
gent footing.
In America we have no part of the
problem that faces devastated, war
torn and war weary Europe We have,
nevertheless, problems of character
that will require the sober judgement
of the best minds in the land.
The first step in the solution of the
many and pressing problems of read
iustment is the profitable and regular
employment of the men who went to
France and Belgium, to Italy and to
Russia to battle for liberty and who
are now nearing our shores.
Out of the war has come great
humanitarian impulse which must be
translated into constructive action, but
we must see that no considerable num-
Der of our people, now that the war
is over, and the victory won, will be
any worse off than before they went
into it.
We want no thousands walking
around the streets looking for work.
They will regard it as a poor return
for the sacrifices they have made.
In Europe revolution is in the air,
In America it is readjustment along
lines that will look revolutionary to
many of the duller thinking and more
conservative of our people.
/ do not mean to suggest revolu-
ton here, because | feel certain that
in our country we will not have any
conditions such as those in Europe
We shall have no disorder, but the
spirit of revolution is infectious. The
best guarantee of constructive, order
ly developn. ent is a regular and pro-
fitable employment of the people.
We must guard against widespread
unemployment Right here in New
York, where great majority of the

POLITICAL HARVEST TIME.
(TaYnauarat No rnuinn

When President Wilson, in response
to an appeal by Secretary McAdoo, is
sued his call for relief to public utili-
ties in the form of increased rates,
he emphasized the Importance of
prompt" relief and he urged that it
be granted by the LEGAL communities.
Hundreds, If not not thousands, OF
rates have been increased through
out the county since then. Others
are steadily being increased. SO that
communities, local officials, seem to
be needing the call and the conditions
back of it; seem to be facing the
facts, realizing that these companies
must cease to sell below cost because
they are vital to the nation at war
and that this is no time to play poll
ties with the utilities. Yet we find
some city officials refusing to regard
the situation as anything other than
their political harvest time.

Unemployment Breeds Discomfort and Leads Toward Rev
olution, He Says Offering Practical Plan For
Demobilzation And Readjustment.

returning soldiers will be landed, we
are vitally concerned that there shall
be no large unemployment.
When / say large unemployment, |
always remember that we, in normal
times in New York, have more men
unemployed than ever existed in Lon
don.
If the city of London had as many
unemployed men in 1914 and 1915 as
we had in New York, there would have
been revolution in England.
Next year we must ship to the ma
tions of Europe more food than we
did last year. Mr. Herbert Hoover
has made the statement that we ship
ped this year eleven million tons of
food to our soldiers and to our allies
in Europe This year, he estimates,
we must ship twenty millions of tons
of food if the people of those nations
are to escape starvation.
That is the situation: We must ship
nine million tons more food than we
did last year. If we are going to do
this, every boy who went into the
army and navy, recruited from the
farm. must be released from the ser
vice as socr as military conditions will
permit and return to the farm in
order that he may resume his accus-
toned employment in this fundamen-
tai industry, the production of food.
1t is obvious that our war industries
should be adjusted on this basis.
AS for military rehabilitation, the
farm boy should be released first.
Next we should release the men from
the army and navy who We're in the
establishments for the preparation of
foods-the factories that made farm
products into finished foods.
Then We should release all the men
whose employers promised them posi-
tions when they went away SO that
they could have their jobs again.
In releasing men from every branch
of the army and navy we should take
into consideration the possible lack Of
profitable employment for the mer
released from service.

SOME UNIMpoRTANT THINGS.

The urgency of the need of relief
being given public service corpora
tions, whose rates were fixed from a
basis of pre-war costs of labor and
materials, was voiced by the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States in
session at Chicago.
Looking to the preservation of light,
heat and power plants, it adopted the
resolution which follows:
"The Chamber of Commerce of
the United States recommends to
state and local authorities that they
recognize the unusual and onerous
conditions with which public utilities
are contending, and that in the in
terest of the nation, of business and
the public they give prompt and
sympathetic hearing to the petitions
of such utilities for assistance and
relief"

in Technical Paper No. 3S, says:
"A great many cities have tried to
lower the gas rates when, as mat

efficiency and prolong the service for
years. Whatever may be the opinion
of the general public in the matter,
1t is fact that the rates charged by
public utility corporations for natural

than too high; and that the most ef-
ficient regulation can be successfully
accomplished only by raising rates to
