If you can explain h)w a man with a throe foot pole can outtiit an adversary with a ten foot pole you can tell how a producer in the United States under the existing scale of wages can compete with an alien adversary with haU or less that scale, without putting a handicap on .the foreigner.

THE RED FLAG IN NEW YORK. The red flag wavers in Madison Square Garden, New York, Mill of course surprise no one. There are always plenty ol people in New York who have nothing to do but carry red flags and make trouble for the lawfully constituted authority. If Bolshevism breaks out in America it will first stick up its ugiy head in the big cities, and every one of them can prepare to f ght it. Bolshevistic theory is bound to seep out of conditions in this country. Just how serious it will be no one can ot course prophesy. It will ccme with the swinging of the economic pendulum away from war. It will be a reaction against war processes, against bureaucracy. The people of this country have lived under a curb, under a restraint for 'nearly two years and human nature stands Just so much under pressure and then there is an outburst and an' outbreak. The pt-nduluni will swing the oth?r way. It must be dealt with in a sane and rational way for it cannot be ignored. It is a national reaction, a fever, and must be treated like any other unhealthy condition. The red flag itself must be dealt with uncompromisingly. Russia would never he where it. is today had the red flag been scotched in the first revolution when tie Romanoffs fell. Kerensky truckled to it. and the Bolshevlii snake spread over the land. Today it Is creeping into Germany. New York is of course the first place it will appear in th.ia country. New York cradled Lenine and Trotzky, the arch-Bolshevists. When they left the metropolis they of course left behind them other Bolshevists in thi'.t seething mtlting pot.

FOR HOME SERVICE, "In the interval between the cessation of military operations and the discharge of men from service, their families will not be more immune -than they have been thus far to sickness, to the machinations of unscrupulous agents ,to financial difficulties, to employment trou Lies, to the inroads of depression, loneliness, and to the forces which make for delinquency in children. The above is part of a statement Issued at a meeting in Hammond the other night to Red Cross Home Service Sections in Indiana by James L. Fiesor, director of the Department of Civilian Relief, Lake Division, American Red Cross. Continuing Mr. Fieser says: "The country has learned to depend upon Home Service Sections ror this kind of service. National headquarters of the Rod Crcs ' is confident that they will keep intact their organization and discharge this duty in the same creditable manner that they have carried through their previous part in tuo great war."

Considerable ilifTlrntly has been experienced in obtaining the required 4nf'0 men of the depot brigade at Camp Taylor to volunteer for the further service. So few offered their services that it was decided to ask each battalion to .supplj- a certain number of men for the "first battalion csrded to remain In the service. It was then put up to the company commander to pick the men to remain and send the rest home. In this way many men will remain in the service for the time being or until further demobilization orders are received. Colonel Geoge Houle, commanding officer of the depot brigade, has picked the 125 officers who will officer the remaining four battalions.

SEEK SYMPATHY IN VAIN. Immediately after the armistice signatories the world was treated to a series of hungry whines from out of Germany's innards asking for food. They met with a cold reception. Tho American people are willing to help Germany to keep from starving after they have provided for the other nations that Germany has robbed of food. The appeal of the three German women fell on deaf oars here. In France the National Council of Women to whom the same begging was directed said, according to a news dispatch in the Christian Science Monitor: "We refuse," it says, "to intercede in the manner requested, the armistice terms are fully justified by Germany's disloyal war methods. "During the tragic years, German women have" kept 8iljntat their country's crimes by land and sea. At the Hs.gue ccmaress. which French women refused -to attend, the president of the German Woman's National Council was Invited to protest against Belgium's fate and that of the Lusitania. but she declared the German women's unity with the government.

"When we protested against the deportation r:f women and young girls, and implored all women to unite with U3 that in future they might not be eternally debarred from calling on justice, no reply came from Ger- j many. Why then should we intervene in armistice con- j

. ditfons whose aim is to render further hostilities impossible. "Our pity poea to our afflicted prisoners and our people in regained territories, who endured infamy. I.t German women remember this and they will understand our silence."

MR. HOOVER PLEASE WRITE. Like tho general run of -newspaper men these days, Kditor Jess Green of the Fort Wayne News Is sifting his ashes, running around in his 1015 overcoat, dining on stews, ragouts and other cheaper messes so that it irks him not a little to hear Herb Hoover admonishing the people to live cheaply and conserve on food. Listen to and sympathize with Editor Green, who says: "Oh, come now, Mr. Hoover, and cease your advice to us to continue to lead the simple life. Otherwise we shall come to the conclusion that you are cruelly spoofing us. Of course, we'll continue to lead the simple life so long at least as the life that is not simple it beyond the reach of our pocketbeoks. Do you imagine for a nee men that with hoof steak at 45 cents a pound, oges 5 cents apiece, butter 65 cents a pound, bread 15 cents a loaf, pnd everything else in comparison, we are leading lives that are not simple to the point of absolute Idiocy? Great heavens, Mr. Hoover, if we saw a caviare sandwich, or a slice of turkey, or an English muffin, or a slab of rochefort cheese, or a larded tenderloin, or a bit of French pastry well, we'd probably grab it with a greedy growl and beat it. for the bushes. Lead the simple life? How, pray, can we lead anything else?"

OUR LITHUANIANS. Lake county is on of the nielting'pots of the central west and a better knowledge of its foreign born'pople is one of tho post-war tasks 'hat this newspaper has undertaken, believing that articles dealing with their contemporaneous his'ory will be of vital interest. There are hundreds of Lithuanians in Lake county. The Lithuanians in Europe number about S.onrt.ftOn. Scattered through the Baltic provinces and in various ether parts of the world, including the United States, there are another million and a lu.lf. making at total Lithuanian world population of some four and one-half millions.

WILFUL WASTE.

The War Industries board came out with a plea to forernment departments to conserve print paper, and the next day the Department of Labor issued a 150-page bulletin on "Effect of the Air Hammer on the Hands of Stone Cutters." The bulletin conveys the information that use of the air hammer causes what are known as "dad fingers'' on the hands of some of the men, that the "disorder is disagreeable and troublesome in cold weather, but it i. not dangerous, ar.-l it does not seriously discommode th-3 worker from pursuing his calling." Having used the time of officers, physicians, cbrks, stenographers and authors; to compile this information while the war was in progress, says the National Republican, and having er.-.ployed typesetters, pressmen and binders in the publication of a 15't-pacre bulletin while labor, paper nil I I..

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS. The money invested in Liberty bonds if kept, so invested until peace is established will be worth much more then than now-. Every provident man and woman in the United States-who holds his or her Liberty bond may find the iioney so invested worth twice as much in purchasing power softer the war as now. How sure and safe and investment it is, and how profitable an investment, to keep your money invested in Liberty bonds until its purchasing power becomes greater than at present. It is a better investment than wildcat stock. It. is a better u.-e and a wiser use of your money than speculating with it. It is a duty to your country and to yourselves and "o yeur children to hold your Liberty bonds.

An International Service Built on Tiny Profits Per Pound Some industries have been able to get in step with war demands more quickly than others. In many cases mighty plants have sprung up but at a prodigious cost. The packing industry was able to adapt itself to unheard of demands more quickly, perhaps, than any other industry. And this was because the vast equipment of packing plants, refrigerator cars, branch houses, etc., had been gradually developed to its present state of efficiency, so that in the crucial hour it became a mighty international system for, war service. Arid how had this development taken place ? Not by making vast inroads into the capital wealth of the country, but largely by using, from year to year, a portion of the profits, to provide for expansion. Swift & Company's profits have always been so tiny, compared with sales, that they have had practically no effect on the price of meat, (amounting to only a fraction of a cent per pound). And yet the owners of the business have been content with reasonable returns on their capital, and have been able, year after year, to put part of the profits back into the business to provide for its expansion. These fractions of tiny profits have been repaid to tha public many fold in the form of better service, and better and cheaper meat, and made it ppssible for Swift & Company to meet, undaunted, the sudden cry for meat for overseas. Could any other method of financing a vital industry involve less hardship to the people of the country ? Could there be a better instance of true "profit-sharing" than this return in added usefulness and in national preparedness?
