LABOR EXCHANGES.
V igo emwty council of defense lved its firsi advices about the •d labor] exchanges, the .governuoposes to,.establish. The idea irocure labor immediately upon bw war emergency arising.' is n large undertaking, and time required to get Jt into working de^? State councils of defense are be asked fo institute labor exchanges trough a committee of their appolntieni. sticl Committee to be headed by man acceptable to both. labor and ipital. 'There is special need *fyr fct-kfr* In shipyards, for example, In •der to carry out the program of the neiv.-isiv fleet cwporation, and as exiption from tfte draft is established id«r the new1 service regulations, it topped this factor will help to at|t Workers to the Shipbuilding plants.

STOLEN GOODS.
431x days have passed sinoe the kaiser put out his Christmas "feei«r" and there-is-mr-sign of arty itching among the allies to dicker With hi«i. On the bargain counter Germany places only stolen goods. The thief brazenly attempts to dicker with the rightful owners, offering for* consideration to return this ©r that parcel of lootr- Peace can come from no such starting point. When the'plunder is restored 6r retaken, when the outlaw among nations gives satisfactory assurance of its inteution to live within the law, the terms of settlement may b« discussed. 1/.
The Intention to lire within the law can be manifested only through a fundamental alteration of the German national outlook. Criminal militarism will never be trusted. As an evidence of good faith the German people must rid themselves of the ^monstrous tyranny that has afflicted the world.
These are two adequate and comprehensive reasons wljy the kaiser's Christmas proposals and all similar proposals must be unacceptable, In the first place ^they are built on the msumption that Germany's enemies are willing, to bargain for the return, of plunder and to grant Germany the Victor's privilege of naming terms. Sec-* ondly, it is impossible for nations sworn to effect the destruction of l*russian militarism to give consideration to any terms which contemplate the continued existence of the Prussian system.
These primary facts have been repeatedly stated. .The British premier's recent speech is but a reiteration. It is, however, a timely reiteration, and it is useful in its elaboration of detaif. Even those who might wish to misunderstand cannot fail to grasp a meaning so simply and concisely expressed. Kaiserism will be wise to save the ink and white paper and mental effort that are expenditures incidental to the periodic bargain proposals.
NO JOKE.
Did you ever hear the story of the fellows .who considered that when the Lord walked oft w^ter/he performed a marvelous feat? His friend thought h«s knew of a few marvelous feats himself. andi replied, "Yes, and the fellow who invented interest was no slouch."
This brings us to the starting point of the editorial. The sale of war-sav-I ings certificates, and, their subsidiary thrift stamp have two objects in view. One is to obtain from persons with small incomes a fund of $2,000,000,000 0 aid the government in its war for the protection of free'institutions not only in this country but among all the peoples of the earth. The ether object to train the persons from whom the money is obtained in habits of economy and thrift by giving them practical experience in the profit that accrues from accumulating interest. Thii may be called the "Thrift Side" of the camraign now gfii ig on all over the land.
The power of compound interest is enormous. It has been computed that if the Indians on Manhattan Island had placed the 925.00 received for it at com-

The outpost i« a covering detach-! merit detailed to secure the camp or bivouac against.' surprise, and to prevnt an attac|t upon it before the troop:!! "•an prepare to resist.
The sire and disposition of'the outpost depend upon manv'circumstances, such^aa the size of the whole command. the proximity of the enemv and th* situation with respect to him, th? nature of the terrain, etc.
A suitable strength may vary from a very small fraction to one-third of the whole force. For a single company in oivouac a few sentinels and patrols will suffice for a large command a more elaborate outpost system must be provided. Tt should be no stronger than is consistent with reasonable security.
The mosKt ^WrtoMieaf protection is furnished by keeping close contact with the enemy by means of outpost patrols, in conjunction with resisting detachments on the avenues of approach.
The outpost should be^COfQposed tof complete organizations, In a ^brigade or'• sma.il«r force on the riarch toward the enemy, the outpost is generally formed from the advance guard, and is relieved the following day. when the new advance guard crosses the line of outguards. In a retreat, the detail for outpost duty is "sjenerairy made from the main body.
pound interest at 6 per ctnt they would now, some 300 years later, be able to buy New Tork City at its present assessed valuation. But take^ humbler illustration from an actual occurrence. lu 1910 a ^age earner applied for a life Insurance policy of ?1,000. The medical examiner foundv traces of an insiduous disease and so reported, but alsg recommended that a 10-year payment policy might he safely issued as the disease in all probability, would not prove fatal within that time. The. company, however, declined the insurance and tlie physician thereupon advised the applicant to deposit in a savings bank the same amount yearly that he would have to pay for the $1,000 policy. The doctor forgot the incident but in the fatl of 1917, the man recalled it, said that he followed the advice and little by little Increased the amount of deposit, finding the larger payments easier from sheer force of habit. The result was that he had Just been looking W5r, his bank-book and found $1,400 to his credit, a sum that was increasing itself more" than $50 a year.
This is the thrift side of the war savings proposition. It encourages economy to get the money, and then inspires further economy by the growth in interest The .war-savings certificates will in Just this way grow for five years Then some other place will be found for safe and profitable investment. Then the person, w ho in 1918 started his first savings by purchasing thrift stamps, will doubtless have also a nice little sum in a savings bank to add to his investment.
