Troops remained ON guard in Joliet
and the e. J. & E., outer belt line
OF the Chicago district was tied up
in q traffic knot by the suspension
of work by the trainmen.
Disorders in connection with the
strike as important developments ap-
preached were few and widely scat
tered.
An explanation by s. NJ. FELTON,,
chairman of the western committee
on public relations of the Association
Of railway executives, of the railroad
view Of President Hardings proposals
and the position of leaders of the
shopmen's strike, made public, said
that q large majority of the public
had been misled regarding the stand
OF union leaders and that there is
considerable confession over the presh
dents proposal with respect to the
senioity questions.
with respect to seniority, there
still seems to be confusion in many
peoples minds as to exactly what the
president originally proposed. He pro-
posed simply that the employees who
struck be taken back with the same
seniority rights that they had before
they struck.
This meant that strikers who for
merly had seniority over employees
who stayed at work would recover
their seniority over these men and
that they would be given seniority ov-
er all new men who have been en-
ployed since the strike began. This
would mean that practically every en-
ployee who was low on the seniority
list and stayed at work, would be put
back in his former position on the
seniority list where he would be given
regular employment.

PROTECTING OURSELVES

Usually people protect themselves against material dangers first then, If they take heed of intangible things at all, they take precautions against in- jury from them,
 Much has been said and written warning against the danger of allow ing the spread of Bolsheyism In this country through immigration, Little has been written of the material danger of disease coming through un-
 limited immigration. Now that warn Ing has come in the form of state ment of physician of the German Red Cross. He says this country must be on the watch against the introduc- ton of cholera and typhus through the immigration of Russain refugees,
 The warning is timely and strength ems the growing feeling that immigra- ton restrictions should be maintained as they are at present or made more stringent.
 Here, therefore, is one case where the warning against the intangible preceded the warning against the tangible or physical. The fact is an in dication of the significance of the former-the warning against the aug menting of the spirit of communism herein that it was noted and guard ed against before the usually more emphasized physical danger was mem- toned. A failure to heed the warning against the physical danger would implant a seed of disease here which might flourish forever. A failure to heed the warning against the other danger might bring destruction to the peace of the country.

ALL VETERANS "DIsABLED"

There is an angle to the bonus proposition heretofore practically un- considered.
 There is one statement to which all will agree The country believes in taking the best of care of those who fought and who are suffering physical country believes in trying to restore all disabled" veterans to their normal condition if possible.
 Few men, even the most cold blooded, would dare stand before the world and say to the she'll shocked veteran: We can do nothing for you; the country can't afford it. It will hurt my business"
 Granted, then, that the country would help those injured in mind and body by the war, the question arises who were so disabled
 The Associated Press reports that physical examination of regular army officers now in progress has disclosed the most clear-cu evidence of physi- cal deterioration" due to the strain incident to the prosecution of the world war" according to a medical memorandum in the hands of war de- partment officials based on informal reports from examining officers. There is found abnoramlly high or ab normally low blood pressure, and other symptoms of nerve strain.
 Surgeon General Ireland says: "The strain) have been abundently con- frmed."
 It is the belief that full investiga- tien of this subject may bring to light a positive, scientific explanation of some part of the restlessness that has been evident among the former sol diers since the war. Quite probably the war left lasting mark upon thousands of men who underwent severe nerve strain.
 Symptoms of physical deterioration noted include: Instability of the nervous system, an unnatural tenden- cy to worry, fatigueability, low re- sistance to all infectious diseases and 9 decided tendency toward increased and mental exaggeration of all forms of worry and mild physi cal ills"
 If these things have been noted among the officers who have been ex- ainined, how much more numerous would be the cases of disability seen

MRS. MccoRMICK's ERROR

Edith Rockefeller Mccormick has made a grievous error. Her ingenuity of mind is admirable; her compari- sons striking; her subject discussion fascinating. Nevertheless it is sad to see one so intelligent fall into such a common mistake
 If woman marries outside her own clan or tribe" she is reported to havesaid, shell be slave. History proves it. In olden times" she goes on, with evidence of great research, If man were bored with the women of his own tribe he went and stole 8 wife from another clan"
 Mrs. Mccormick should remember that the men in those days thought the only avenue of fun open to them was stealing wives, while today the reformers have left men chess, the movies and tiddledywinks. Moreover in those days the wives did no stealing of husbands; today cynics say it is case of fifty-tifty In those days the husbands clan became the wife's clan; today the wife brings her clan with her if she wants to.
 Briefly Mrs. Mccormick forgets that in those days the man might have said truly, in the strange language of his time: "Wot l says, Goes!" today, when the woman says, the man Goes.

 Despite his long red beard and hair that reached almost to his shoulders, two persons who said they had been well acquainted with Weaver posi- tNely Identified the prisoner as the long sought fugitive Others were doubtful and said they would have to wait until the jail barber had visited him. Chief of Police Rhodes made an engagement for the barber today. Weaver was Rmooth Bhaven.
 Farmer folk for miles around Hay cock mountain, where Weavers shack was located, crowded the little jail last night in response to a call from Chief Rhodes for persons, who had known the fugitive, and for whose capture there was a reward of S2,000.
 They came in steady stream and were admitted to the jail in squads of 15. Scores who could not get in, stood on the outside for hours, peer ing through the windows.
