CIRCULATION Dee. 14, 1918, 10,227 AN INJUSTICE. One of the deeply regrettable things in connection with the raising of the large army in this countty is the large number of complaints which are: being made over the failure of the rovernment to take care of the de- pendents of the menh who have vol- unteered or been called into the ser- vice. There are intimations that there vill be an fnvestigation asked into this matter and it would seem to ke 2dvisable in view of the fact that there are wives, mothers and children who have failed to receive the pay which hag been allotted them by their husbands, sons or fathers, and the worst of it is not that they will not get it but that they have failed to ge’ it for periods of not one, two and three months but of thres, five and scven months when the people have been turning over their mioney to the gevernment for this as well as other vses and when it is all too well un- derstood that & soldier's pay by no means puts him ln the class of the vrofiteers. It is regretted that In many cases 'hese dependents have hardly known which way to turn to get a living. They have been obliged in some in- stances to ask for charity, bhard though it was. The war risk insur- ance bureau has admitted that its or- ranization was back in itz work in this respect, and it is of course un- derstood that it Involved” no slight task but when.we have been told that many departments could be placed or much more efilcient pasis with mucn fess help if the heads were allowed to exerciee their judgment and eliminate much of the red tape the cue to im- proving the situation woul!d seem to be provided.

WISE SUGGESTIONS. A matter which Seeretery Lane pre- sents in his annual report, and which ought to get due attention, is his ap- peal for measures which will bring about a reduction of the illiteracy in the country and the building up of Americanism. He wants to know what is to be said for a democracy wherein ten per cent. of its adult population cannot read the laws they are pre- sumed to know, and which calle upon its citizens to consider the wisdom of forming a league of nations, of passing judgment wpon a code whieth will insure the freedom of the seas, or of sacrificing the daily stint 8f wheat or meat for the benefit of the people of Europe, when 18 per cent, of the coming citizens of thar democracy do not go to school. He calls attention to the fact that out of the first two million men draft- ed for our army raised for the de. fense of democracy there were 200- 009 who could not read their orders or understand them when deiivered, or read their jetters sgent them from home, and that there are millions of ter.” “Well, of course, my wife Jent her things,” Simmons continued. “She was! THE CASUALTY LIST. a little particular what she wore and While it is known that a large amount of work is involved in gath- ering the data which is necessary in order to put forth the casualty lsts, the careful work of verifying the re- ports at headquarters after they are sent In from the field stations re- quiring much time in order to assure &8s great accurjey as possible, it is nevertheless a Dbit disconcerting that the list of killed in action and those who have died from wounds and dise ease has not been compicted before this time. This may be because of a la¢k of knowledge of the detail that is required, but it ls probable that less would have been thought about the delay and 2 more tolerant attitude shown toward the manner in which the lists are being furnished if the state- ment had not been put forth by the war department some weeks ago that the casualty list would not greatly exceed 100,000, That, as it now appsars, must have been put forth without due regard for the situation or a knowledge of the conditions as they actually existed, aithough it wus accepted 'as beinz based upon facts, and for that reason it was with great surprise that the announcement was made a week or two after the armistice had been sign- ed that the list included the names of over a quarter of a million, with the explanation, however, that a large proportion of them were cages of siight wounds and instances where the same man had been wounded more than once and probably recovered. That, however, was nét the whole story for it wae only a few days be- fore an addition of over 20000 was made thereto and now we get still an- other addition of over 40,000, all but a thousand or so of which are num- Lered among thc severely wounded.

But with the war over it is wenerally agpeed by thoss in a po- «ition to know that the country is go- ing to ewing from its war husiness to neace time activity without any pro- longed slowing up of the wheels of industry or any overcrowding of the labor market, Tt is well understood that business in many lines has given way to war work. The result is that many arti- cles that are needed are not available in any great quantity. With the de. mand which there will be for them it means that the factories, mills and plants are going to ret about the task of providing them just az rapidly as the readjusting conditions will per- mit. The goods are going to be made ready for the demand. This will not mean that they are going lo be piled up in anticipation of orders hecause of the uncertainty of prices but business ought nevertheless to gather speed from now on. Many who were thrown out of their regular employment and perhaps went inte war work will return to their old Jobs. The returning soldlers will for the most part find their former em- ployment or better waiting for them, The shipping board is secking men by the thousands and there is sald to be a shortage of three million or more on the farms Immigration is by no means zoing to fill these places while the many building trades are within a brief time due to attract far more than were ever engaged in them he- fore.

Some of these things have been un- derstood. Not a little effort has been prut forward to bring about an im- provement, but s there any wonder that the secretary of the interior should call for the giving of serious attention to these matters? There is need for the devotion of greater effort in this direction. We shmid give the necessary thought in bhehalf of legis- lation which will gradually bring about a change in these conditions.
