"The real question of reconstruction in the United State3 is the restoration of the soldiers in their proper places in civil life. You must put them back In their communities;, ridins on an even keel, and with a desire in thur hearts to become useful citizens." Thus Lieut. Col. Frank S. Evans of the British army, summarized his subject. "Reconstruction," in his address to members of the Knife and Fork club at the Oliver hotel last evening. Dr. James L. Gardiner acted as toastmaster, and followinc Col. Evans. James Schermerhorn. editor of the Detroit Times, spoke on "The Deadly Parallel," pointinc out the things to be pained by comparing the results and effects of the creat war just ended with the results and effects of previous wars. "The war is only commencing now, in my opinion," declared Col. Kvans, in his talk. "We are approaching the makinpr of peace, and the make of peace has always been more uncertain than the, making of war. War is a question of mathematics, maps and science, the mak-

Serious (Questions. "We have many serious questions to settle, now that peace Is coming. In this country, there are no devastated areas, business has been merely interrupted, not destroyed. Your chlf problem i tho returning soldier. "In your country and in mine, the government has taken hundreds of young men by the nap of the neck and told them. 'Here, you go and fight for your country.' They did not reply, 'But that will interfere with my education, with my career.' The nation did not expect any such reply. But that is exactly what took place. Young men were taken out of their refinement, and placed n strange surroundings; they went through things the like of which you cannot imagine. And now they arn coming back. "Your own civil war taught one great lesson. When the soldiers returned from that war, and they applied to employers for work, they met with the reply, 'You're lazy, we don't want you.' That was true. Ther is nothing like the life of a soldier to promote laziness. In the army, a man's food is i,dven him. hi? clothing is furnished, his sleeping quarters are provided. There is no stimulus in the form of a necessity to provide for self. Naturally he be

comes lazy. He does what he is told j and nothing more. j ItHunm to Chil I. Iff. j

"Then he returns to civil life. Things are chanced. Besides the

j laziness which has been inculcated.

conditions he meets lead him to a resentful view on life. He finds that some other fellow has his job. He finds that some other fellow has piled up the dollars during his absence. He finds that he has to take a poorer job than he had before. "Quite naturally he asks, 'Why is it. that while I have been serving my country for a dollar a day, this other man has been gettintr seven or eiRht dollars a day? Why is it. while T have been risking my lif this other man has been able to build himself a home? Why is it. while I have been learning to be a soldier, this other man has advanced into the better position which T should hold?' "That's the situation, 'ifro soldier

has sacrificed everything. He has j given his all without a grumbb ' without a complaint. It is this les- I son of sacrificial service which we must learn. If we have learned it. j the war has done us good; if we j have not learned it, there will be an- j other war. Be Willing to Sacrifice. . "We must be willing to sacrifice. It is only by this means that we can j reconstruct successfully. If we ar? going back to the material view- ! point we held before the war, we ; have gained nothing. If we are go- 1 ing back to our old slogan: 'Results! j

Get 'em! No matter how, get 'em!' we are no better off than we were in 1014. "Reconstruction in the United States does not mean rebuilding of buildings, remaking of roads. Tt means the making over of the minds of the soldiers, as well as the making over of our own minds. "We must treat the returned sol

dier fairly. r or his. own good, we; must not put him on a pedestal. We ! must take him practically. We must j get him back into civil life. j "Before the war, and during tb J struggle-, there was much talk ofj Oorman propaganda in this country. I And in my own mind I am certain i

that German propaganda is still at work. It is this propaganda which is leading us to hail the returned soldier as a hero, and then refuse to take him hack into life as a civilian; to give him a job, to help him make the most of things. Overcome Ipopaganda. "That is why T say the war is just commencing. We must overcome this propaganda, and must do the right thing by the boys who, in the

spürt of Christ, went out and gave j their lives for an ide.nl." i Mr. Pchemmerhorn's talk was not j as serious as that of the first speak - J er. For a long time after he arose j the club members were rocking with : laughter at what he said. But then, '

in a serious mood, he pointed out the object of his talk. The speaker commented upon the good which has already come out of the war, the passing of the saloon, and the ascent of the woman suffrage idea. That these were only two of a number of improvements which might be derived from the situation was the speaker's idea.
