ARMISTICE DAY.

/ 10 A"O years tO-udy SHlCS Vle HueIGdH people
rejoced from the depths of heart and soul over
definite assurance that their fighting power at the
front had fastened the final victory and brought
the great conflict to decisive end
1t Is two years to-day since a country OF one mind
faced the problems Of peace with the high resolve
that the purpose for which so many young Ameri-
cans had given their lives should be fulfilled as far
as it lay in the power Of the United States to
fulfil it.
1t is two years to-day since the great event Which
found the Nation in such oneness of spirit that even
Senator Borah was moved to say;
Our task is not yet ended We will need
united and determined people for this
work. the same as we did during the war.
No room for party politics. no place for
holding back now, for permanent peace de- >
ponds upon how we'll we do the work OF
reconstruction"
That was an exalted moment in The Nations
history.
The peril removed, it was impossible that any
people should continue to view national and inter-
national affairs on that high plane
Party politics found in peace the room they did
not find in war Unity and determination weakened
under the stress OF reawakening partsanship Self
iShness and prejudice came back to sow their seed
and plan their harvests.
1t cannot be denied that the last two years have
seen gradual descent from the state of mind and
purpose in which that wonderful Nov ii, 1913,
found the people of the United States.
But that IS no cause for despair or even for
gloom.
Such descents are inevitable. Spiritual exaltaon
is followed by reaction in nations no less than in
men.
Yet nations, as we'll as men, are left the better
for moments of broad vision and high aim
Notwithstanding all the hostility, the clamor for
abandonment or compromise that has surged about
the international peace programme growing out of
the war, the idea itself is secure.
The peace of the world WILL be safeguanded
with new watchfuhesS and cooperation on the part
of civilized nations
The United States WILL eventually take its
place as chief guardian and member in the partner
ship.
After the American people have risen to new
heights Of national purpose, they do not slip back
all the way.
No need to explain this to the dead who died
that their country might be lifted to that purpose
as II was lifted two years ago to-day.
They would have understood.

A LABOR SURVEY.

CALAMITY howles will not get full measure
~ OF satisfaction from the countrywide reports
on unemployment which The Evening World gath
cred and printed yesterday, There is some unem-
poyment and there may be more, but there are
encouraging features to Offset the darker spots.
Distress is not serious, for instance, in Omaha
when the 5000 unemployed are refusing 10000
jobs in the Nebraska corn harvest.
Another encouraging feature was the report from
Baltimore that carpenters Of the city had voted not

Some employers are so shorsigh,ed as to force
the fighting against labor organizations Some are
resoHing to the tme-wom device Of dischlrging
men at high wages and hiring them again at lower

in businesses where wage-cutting is inevitable they
are preparing for the cut by frankness and clear
statements Of conditions TO the employees.
These are the wiser employers. They have
learned even from the unjustifabe exactions Of
laborng men during period when labor controlled
the market
The more employers who show an understanding
Of conditions and who realize that pendulum
swings as far one way as does the other the better
II will be for industry and America as a whole.
Fair treatment Of employees now will beget fair
treatment of employers when the labor market
turns again. Sharp practice and tyranny will beget
rep1sals.

BLAME DISASTER TO CARL
Austrian Collapse Charged to Emper-

Says Commission.

yienna.--Chief blame for the col
lapse of the Austrian forces on the
Piaye river, in the Austro-Italian cam
paign. is placed on the former En-
peror Carl by the report of commits
sion appointed to investigate war de-
linquencies.
On the fateful November 2, 1918. the
report says, the then emperor issued
three conflicting orders within few
hours. The first was for the conciu'
sion of an armistice. Forty-hve MIN
utes later this was revoked ana IA
minutes afterward it was issued again
During this period, it was said, the
emperor consulted no one on the mat
| ter.

"whether the emperor and his advisers
were not guided by the fear of tn
army flooding back on Vienna rathe
than by any other circumstances.
