SOLDIERS AFTER THE AVAR
TU<» porb!em of taking! care of the
soldiers after the war will most
lkiely resolve itself iuto a problem
of taking care of those who did not
go to war, except, o' oourse. those
soldiers whose capacities have
iu. some measure been reduced.
For the able-bodied soldier, we im
agiue, not much need he done save
during- the time of his transition
from military to civil life.
For the most part the soldier will
Wt his old job back if he wants it.
or better one, but of course that sup
position does not do away with the
problem. It siipply puts the sol
dier -n his job or occupation and
puts out the man or woman who fit'
»-d it during his absence, so that the
net result for the country still re
mains the same. There will be
need for artificial stimulation of
production to keep idle hands busy
until such time as the world adjusts
itself to peace.
It is the fashion to believe that
the returning soldier is to b© an es
sentially different oeing from the
man who went overseas. He may
be in a spiritual sense, but the
mea of the civil war returned to
their nomes pretty much the same
the men who left them. And
'..ie individual experience in the
••ivil war was a3 bad as that which
the men in the present war are
undergoing. Nationally and for the
world this war i3 on a vastly great
er scale of horror and everything
eise, but for the individual, being
wounded, exnausted, starved, etc.,
largely the same experience un
der all circumstances. No one sol
dier can contain the horrors of A
whole war, a whole battle or a
whole skirmish. He is limited W?
.. his individual experiences.
It is hardly safe to assume tnat
the returning soldier will sub
mit to any arbitrary economic rilassi
fication. It is more probable that
he will be anxious to take Up his
work where he left off and make
up for lost time, and public grati
tude, fickle and transient though
it be, will help him bridge the gap.
So it is just as well, in all considera
tion of the problems of employment
after the war, to have an inter
changeable plan that will fit the
:ieedsof soldier and civilian alike.—

FROM AX ENEMY ALIEN
Oberrlin (0.) Letter to .the New Re
public.
Her© is a translation of a letter
written by a Slovenian, after he
had had hte opportunity of hon
orable discharge from the army
as an enemy alien. He is a com
mon workman and haj only an ele
mentary education:
"I received the civil clothes sent
me from Cleveland. and at the
same time a thought occurred to
me, whioli never left me—that I
should feel ashamed to leave the
army and go back to civil life. Ia- j
deed, how I lov® my young, healthy I
life; how I long to be free again, |

alas, am 1 justified to thlnJc of my
own, liberty and happy life. When
the moment is here that calls on
every younx man to bring liberty; to
others? Away, you &elfl#h. thoughts!
On into the battle! I am a Slovene
myself, and my fathers and grand
fathers never had any opportunity
to fightt for liberty. Indeed, they
fougdt for hundreds of yeara under
the command of the Hapsburgs to
continue slavery and tyranny.
"Good-by, my- beloved young life,
I shall not return until the day has
come when I can proudly see the
liberated Jugoslavia In a liberat
ed world. Th©n I shall return, con
scious that I have done my bit. If
I shall perish—I am afraid I will-—
let .lt be so; the only thng I am
sorry about it is that I don'tt pos

Serving Kio Country.
A certain pul>li> office has lieen the
object of much saiire because of the
passive nature, as n rale, of the In
cumbent's duties. In this connection
the following estrrx-t from Sloses Coll
Trier's journal, wrilien In Washington
years a no. Is intere.-aing:
"President Grant never starts a con
versation. but when it Is started he
often says a cent thing. Last year
there was a:i excursion down the IV
tomac. He wes on board, with his cab
inet and ii quorum of both houses.
•"Mr. President." sai<t Mrs. .ludd,'
who sat near hint, 'it would be a pretty
bad thins to have n great accident hap
pen to this party. Nearly the whole
government would be destroyed.'
•"Yes, Mrs. Judd,' assented the pres'
ldent. -'but you observe that the vice
president has very prudently stayed at
horue.'"
Insect Luminosity.
Luminosity is normal in the well
known luminous beetles, Including the
Tarious fireflies and glowworms, and
results naturally from the oxidation
of some organic secretion. Other in
sects are luminous In rare Instances.
Rev. J. Hofroyde. vicar of Patehum.
England, lately noted luminous moth
larvae, similar to those observed one©
or twice previously, and the chlrono
mirns-a kind of gnat-and the "lan
tern beetles'' of South America are
itmong the creatures sometimes lighted
up. The occasional luminosity has
been' attributed to disease or decom
position from bacterial Infection.

Wonderful Cai.vinjj.
Dr. Peter Oliver, who livid In Eng
land during the early i<art of the'e'jtht
eenth centtiry, tells of n curved
cherry stone wUIoh would lie n troni'^r
eyen In this uge of J«ne tools and line
workmanship. The > stone was one'
from a common cherry, and. upon -.it
were carved the heads of 1--I popes, •
kings, queens, etuiierors, saints, etc. i
Small as they must necessarily hate i
been, it Is announced on the authority I
of "Professor Oliver that with a good J
glass the heads of the popes and kiiigs j
could readily be distinguished from
those of the queens and saints by their
miters and crowns. The gentleman
who<brought this little wonder to Eng
land purchased it in Prussia, allowing
tho original owner £5.000 for his treas
ure. Think of it—$"5,000 for a cherry
aeed !
Something In This. j
"You women are always si tending '
money for preparations to make your
selves better looking." growled Mr.
Twobble.
"I guess that's true, my dear." re
plied Mrs. Twobble sweetly.
"Now, yon hardly ever see a man
doing that."
