America Strikes Back Seemingly our participation in the European war has stiffened ournational backbone sufficiently to strike back-at the murderous Mexican
bands that made life uncertain on the American
side of the Rio Grande border. When the followers of Villa were besieging Juarez and indiscriminately shooting into El Paso, American soldiers resented the insolence by crossing the international bridge and driving the Mexican bandits
back in double quick time with the loss of manj
of their followers. The diplomatic explanation of the incident at Washington is that - thene is a complete understanding between the Carranza government and this country regarding tine -.right -of Americans to" protect themselves against these inroads. Irrespective of this diplomatic explanation is the fact that the administration is now employing the only kind of means Mexican bandits can understand, namely, machine gon and rifle fire. . ;For the first time in many months, the American government has let it be known that it will safeguard the lives of American citizens against border bandits. It is high time that the value of American citizenship be demonstrated to the world. We hope that hereafter any foreigner who makes an attack-on tha safety of American citizenship will know that he must be prepared to apologize for the overt act or take the consequences for his deed. We are glad that the policy of watchful waiting and strict accountability has ceased, and that in its place has been substituted the stern theory of reprisals. As soon as Villa and his followers learn that they cannot recklessly shoot up American towns and kill American citizens without paying the penalty, our Mexican border-will become as safe as our Canadian border.
"There are morelhan enough jobs to go around,"; says Colonel Woods. "The problem is to get the! jobs and the men together." And that is what I Colonel Woods intends to do to introduce the : soldier without a job to the job-without a soldier. , "These men," says Colonel Woods, "have just !
come back from participation in the greatest experience that will occur in your life time or mine They are veterans, trained by hardship, disci
pline and loyalty to high ideals to take their place j as more useful and more valuable citizens of j America than they ever were before. They need'
work, but the work needs them just as much. What we intend to do is to act as a helpful point of contact among all the organizations in the United States which are so splendidly endeavoring to put our returned soldiers into jobs fitted for their abilities and training."
His Business
Frederick William once upon a time known as Crown Prince denies that he intends to engage in the pottery business. "I know nothing about the pottery business" he says. Almost the, whole world wonders what he knew about his former business of being the crown prince of the late German empire. Although he was ignorant of the duties of a budding ruler, he nevertheless engaged in that business until the American doughboys drove him out.
The American Flag The American flag is a symbol. It stands for two important principles opportunity and obligation. Under this flag every man is given an
opportunity to enjoy liberty and to participate in all the advantages which our institutions offer. Under its obligation all of us must profoundly feel the necessity of defending our national honor against insidious foes at home and insults from abroad. In proportion to our understanding of these two principles do we contribute to the meaning and the glory of the flag. If the flag is the symbol of the nation, then we ought to make our life conform with the highest principles of civic and moral "rectitude.
A Good Buy Now that the Liberty loan campaigns are ended and some attention is being paid to War Savings stamps, the country is beginning to realize that the War Saving Stamp is a good buy. The stamp buyer gets a better rate of-interest and stands to gain instead of lose if he has to sell his stamps. These two facts will be emphasized more sharply in a short time when the treasury department puts out the new One hundred dollar and one thousand dollar stamp. The one hundred dollar stamp, for instance, will sell at $83.40 in June." It will increase in value at the rate of 3 per cent per month, and be worth $100 on January 1, 1924. This will make an investment that is hard to beat. The Indianapolis News, in a recent editorial said: "Although no more Liberty or Victory loan campaigns will be conducted, there will be constant need for money and the government plans to arouse fresh interest in. thrift stamps. Postmaster Springsteen, director of the Indiana War Savings committee, says that Thrift stamps will be issued in denominations of $100 and $1000. The $100 stamp will cost $83. At maturity it will be worth $100. Thus the buyer will make $17 on the transaction. If his purchase is a SI 000 stamp, his profit will be $170 at maturity. "When a loan is made at a bank, the interest is collected in advance. If a man could borrow $100 for the Thrift stamp period from a bank and the rate of interest was the same, he would get only $83 in cash. He would be charged with having a loan of $100, but $17 of this had been deducted for interest. Thus he would not have the use of the entire sum. The thing works out in the opposite way if a Thrift stamp is purchased. The buyer has no coupons to bother with. He merely keeps his stamp until it matures and then receives the face value. Of course, such stamps can be surrendered or sold before maturity, and in that event the holder realizes proportionately on his investment."

ADAMS DAILY TALK
TffiB SILENT MAN I have always been interested in the Silent Man. Because I know scarcely nothing about him! The fellow who talks, who boasts, who makes all. sorts of remarks, suggestions, and gestures I know just about where to place him. I can cultivate him and learn from him, or I can eliminate him and forget him. But the Silent Man he is a puzzle. Great men are largely, silent. They think and do but say little. Napoleon was not a talkative man. General Grant, who was twice made President of the United tates, was known as "the silent President" MarshaU Field, the great merchant, left with his memory one notable phrase: "He talked little." All one has to do, to appreciate the value of silence in a person, is to seriously think of the mass of words daily spoken by everyone. What a waste of expression! Never underestimate the Silent Man. For he is the "black horse later to assert his personality and his power. The bully is nearly always a coward. He talks. It's the Silent Man, who never says anything however that the real fighter fears. And if I were a betting man, I would put my money on the fighter who kept his mouth closed all other things considered. The Silent Man is the dangerous man, always as a foe, but the greatest and most loved man as a friend. Its the Silent Man who sticks thru thick and thin. Who can be trusted. Who listens and then goes and does the job, without comment or question. In this connection, I am reminded of a very great Man, of whom it is written, that when they mocked Him, and reviled Him', and spat upon Him yet "he answered not a word!"
Good Evening BY ROY K. MOULTON
Without Red Tape "When he was in the army, the buck private could communicate with his superior off icer only through military channels. Now that he is out of it, I want him to forget military channels and tell his troubles directly to me. The red chevron on the discharged service man's sleeve does not man that the army is through with him. We are not through with our men until we have put them into the job which fits them and for which they are fitted." In these words Colonel Arthur Woods, Who as assistant to the secretary of. war has been charged with the duty of obtaining employment for discharged soldiers, summed up the attitude of the war department toward the men. whom it has just returned to civilian life.
Colonel Woods does not believe there is any i "ices, Postmaster-General Burleson is peeved and doesn't real shortage of employment on the contrary he care who knows it.

WHEN J. S. MILL IS OUT OF DATE From the Kansas City Star. ONE of the savings often quoted is that of John Stuart Mill, who wrote about the middle of the last century that it was doubtful whether all the inventions had diminished Ihe o' of a single human being. The statement is usually cited as evLdence of the exceeding wrongness of the M-orld, where such a thing could be possible. But whatever may have been the situation when Mill wrote, the remark is certainly not true today. The world is a far better place for the average family in the United
States today than it was a century ago. And the additional comfort that has come Into life is largely the result of the industrial revolution. In Europe the increase in resources showed itself at once in a rapid increase in population. This was the result, not of more births, but of fewer deaths. Easier conditions of life and more food kept alive babies who otherwise would have died. This accounts for the fact that the population of Great Britain, Which had been stationary for centuries, has increased fivefold since 1750. Hours of .work have been greatly shortened in the last fifty years. The work of women and children has been restricted. Education has become more general. Books, magazines and newspapers have become abundant and cheap. Music in one form of another Is available for almost every home. Reproduction of the great art works of the world are to be had at a nominal cost. Capital has been accumulated for great enterprises that once could not have been undertaken. Schools and hospitals are built on a scale never known before. Every town has its public library, its theater. Its comfortable hotel '
Transportation has been enormously developed. The steamship, the railroad, the trolley, the motor car are all available for a large proportion of the population. The home is full of labor saving devices that were unknown to our grandparents. Mill wrote at a time when the world had not become adjusted to its new machinery. Today, thanks to more enlightened sentiment, to the organization of labor and the education of employers,' there has been a transformation. Mill's statement needs revision. .

I Dinner Stories l ; ; - The village was all agog. Flossie Matfoot was marrying William Giles. The church was crowded. Flossie, looking as pale as her somewhat highly colored countenance would allow, bore up until the plain gold ring was safely on her finger, and . then, overcome, she burst into tears. The villagers were touched, but not anxious. All girls cry at weddings. Then suddenly William Giles screwed up his face and broke into howls. Tears poured down his face and dripped off his whiskers. "What's up? Hush, man!" those nearest him urged. But Giles continued to howl, and at last hurst out: "Let me be! I feel wuss than 'er about it!"
A Chicago , paint salesman bought the only remaining sleeping car space. An elderly lady next him in line in. front of the ticket window burst into tears. ?'I must have a berth In that train," she exclaimed, "it's a matter of life or death!" The salesman gallantly sold his resercation to her. Next morning his wife was astonished to receive the following telegram from her husband: "Will not arrive until tomorrow. Gave berth to an old lady last night"

Independent Socialists
Join Bolshevik Movement
(By Associated Press) STOCKHOLM, June 18.-The congress of Independent Socilists voted yesterday. 186 to 22. to join the "third Internationale of Moscow," and adopted resolutions favoring Bolshevik measures, such as the placing of production control in the hands of laborers, and to effect a revolution, that workers must be armed and the bourgeoise unarmed. The parliamentary members of the party vainly protested against the resolution and gave warning against any attempt at a proletarian dictatorship. It is expected that the humanitarian wing of the party representing all the Independent Socialist members of the Swedish parliament, will secede from the organization. -v

ANALYZING FIRE LOSSES From the Dayton Journal. The National Board of Fire Underwriters has issued a more complete estimate of the fire losses in the United States in 1918 than the one announced a few weeks ago, and this reveals that the fire loss was greater than was first thought. It amounted to $291,000,000, which is onethird of the entire annual Interest due for all five issues of Liberty bonds. This sum of $291,000,000 means that nearly $800,000 a day went up in smoke in the United States a tidy sum, indeed. Fires cost us $33,240 an hour, or $554 a minute, which meana that every time the clock ticked $92 was being destroyed by fire. The most regrettable part of the report, according
to the board of fire underwriters, is that about one-third of the loss occurred in fires that were wholly preventable and another third was due to fires that were partially preventable. It is conclusive evidence that, despite the fire prevention campaigns that have been carried on all over the country, the public Jhas not as yet awakened to its responsibilities, but continues to contribute to this huge waste by negligence and indifference.
