THE JOSIES WHO GET $9 PER. Josie is a nine-dollar-a-week stenographer working for a wholesale textile houne. Josie is eighteen. She has pert. lips, sophisticated black eyes, plucked sloe eyebrows, a shrill voice, and dark hair, which she wears in large flat, tepee style over each small car. Ida Evan? in the Saturday Evening Tost tells about her high plated tan-topped shoes and goes on: "James Wood, senior member of the firm, drew- his spectacled eyes together in pain whenerer Josie crossed h's path. He was sixty nine years old and ready to retire. " 'That short blue serge skirt of hers seems to get shorter every month,' he fretted to his conferee.

IT NEEDS TO BE WATCHED. There is no need to go very far in the Calumet Region in order to a?certairi tfce activity of the I. W. W.. the Bolsheviki and other inflammatory organizations. The police and federal authorities need to be especially vigilant in watching these meetings, most of which are held on the sly. No more proof that they are being held needs to be brought forward than Tony Saucik, an East Chicago man, who has attended so many Bolshevist meetings that he has gon stark mad. In Whiting an I. W. W. was arrested for circulating the pernicious literature of that body. In Hammor.d meetings are common. It is pointed out by- the Christian Science Monitor that there is no denying, and there should be no ignoring, the evidence that I. W. W. propaganda and I. W. W. plans for further activities in the near future are still going on in the United States, apparently but little hindered by anything thus far done by the government agencee to discourage them. The discovery and publication, no-w and then of secret methods of circulation of incendiary literature evidently result in some modification of the methods, but the circulation of the literature persists. Efforts of this character by agencies of the organization in the eatsern part of the country, more obviously than ever before, center in New York City, while those exerted in the northwest appar to be well distributed among several of the larger cities of Washington and
Oregon.

THEY'LL LET US LIVE NOW. It Is decidedly amusing to see the Wilson press of the country scurrying to cover as the necessity of amending the League of Nations constitution to meet the demands of America becomes manifest. Whereas a month ago those demanding changes were denounced as the "friends of war" and "men of pygmy minds who ought to be hanged" we now find a changed and chastened attitude on the part of even the intolerant and self-sufficient Wilson himself. Word from Paris is to the effect that he is "receiving graciously" suggestions as to the amendment of the constitution he came here declaring the perfect product of the world's master minds, Rnd they are not "minor" amendments that are offered, either. They are amendments that radically alter the British-made document that Wilson sponsored rnd which will go far toward protecting American r'ghts. The country will await with inerest the presentment of the revised constitution. Fort Wayne News.
A STRANGE ERROR. Henry A. Stimson begins an article in ths New York World: "Mr. Wilson was elected President of the United States by direct vot3 of the people."

One of the finest letters that has come from Germany to this locality since American soldiers went to France is written by Corporal Irving Chayken, formerly a sporting writer with The Times, no in the Army of Occupation.
The letter is written in a serious and thouzhful vein and what the
war and its aftermath is meaning to the men who went all through the fiery furnace in June, July and August as did Chayken, twice cited for bravery, is described below. Coblenz. Germany. March IS. liii.l. I waa Indeed very g!ad to get your Setter' of February 24th anl hapry to Uarn that you were enjoying good health. Your letter waa forwarded Irom Honningen. as for the present the show troupe I am with is playing a wetk's engagement here in Cobleng. I never knew one could be an actor without, previous experience, but we are putting it over in such fin sijle that our "hams" are lookiiig forward to a Irw contracts when they return. SEAVICE WAS VEBY KOTTSN. The mall from America seems to come through much Quicker than it did while the heavies were coming over. I suppose Mr. Burleson Is very proud, he ought to be. for the service during the fighting period were very rotten. Well, there is nothing of keen interest to writ about. The cry heard everywhere is. "We want to go home." Believe me, wo all do, the enlisted men especially the officers, a.e having their usual good time; big. pay, castles to live in. and what not. Those who volunteered for the duration of the war are now being kept here 15 regulars. The volunteer spirit exists ro longer. I guess I am out of luck for some lime. OBEDIENCE FIRST LAW. But it makes us all sore to see fellows going back who never saw the lines, and some hadn't been in France fcr five months. Do you blame us? The first commandment in a soldier's decalogue Is obedience, which means that even though we register kicks we must make the best of everything. The. great experience I have gained in this war has added not inches but miles to my spiritual stature, and the boy that I was will come home a man. The proud consciousnes of going through sit the horrors of war are very highly prized, more even than the two citations I have received. I need no PabbI cr preacher to teach me stereotyped' prayers and rraises to and of God and bis mercies. THE SPIB.ITTJAI. HIX.I.-TOP. I have faced the bitter rain of fire nnd steel against which man-made defences were as nothing. I have looked death In the face unafraid.

Thoae fellow a who have gone throug lit.ll have learned a different religion thaji that whic'u existed In America when we left. . ily live comrade, tha men v ho faced the end of the grout war, have, ail stumbled onto tha real meaning of reiigi&n and ChrisUaxilty, i.nd I believe that some of you will ha.v tu change your views when the real fishcing crowd returns.

The present religion of Amsrlc will not interest the fellow who has lived from day to day not knowing but that tach hour might be hia last. Tha war. n President Wilson 6tated. Is not over yet. Peace is far off, and tha League of Nations cannot go through In Its present form. Meanwhile. th great American army Is still Intact. You tax-payers should kick against the expense of bji overseas army, it should bo reduced to tha lowest strength and our boys returned so that the- billion tor reconstruction may start as soon as possible. To keep our lads hera is a west of men and money. Bring us baik. I am sure the coming republican Congress will listen to our cry. ': he cry must be heeded. If Secretary EaJer thinks it is a distinction to be over here, why In biaies is ho sending Ohio men back? ALSO TH2 COOTIES. Living on slum, monkey meat and beans wis well and good at the front, but not for the present. Our men are (".issatisfied. Correspondents may write otherwise but. take It from one who knows. The war. In addition to being a war for an Ideal and bringing out what was best in hundreds and thousands of men and women, has also spread a brood of profiteers, grafters, jokers, liars and cooties. One must accept the bad with the food, and trust to time to winnow the chaff from the wheat, the false from the truth. f?ome fellows who were engaged in some skirmish around Chateau Thierry, honestly believe that they took part in the major drive which saved Paris. Writers and lecturers are telling a lie when they state that other divisions than the Second helped save Tans in those dork days of Juna, 1918. I am glad to ltarn that you saw General Bundy'a account of the Chateau Thierry battles. You now know who was who. The Second division with no boosting in America is standing pat on its record without fear that authentic history will strip any leaves from the laurels we have so richly earned. The cross I sent you T bought from a German soldier. As to my having little money, you would hardly believe, it. but I have cleaned up on every thing. Leslie is in the A. O. and his stories in the Times are wonders. Well. I have nothing more to say so will ring off for this time. Best of wishes and kindest regards to the Mrs. and Vaughn. Sincerely, Cpl. Irving Chayken.
Edwin K. I.lplnnWI. 2.1Sth Aero qn..
