The street flushers got out early next morning and u-ashed the streets clean. Garbage wagons hauled off the tin cans, which had been used to make a noise. It was a wild day, Monday. fThe principal. point to be emphasized is, that, after the joyful riot, jhe people returned to their accustomed employments. Now, if the people of Germany and Austria-Hungary had some accustomed employments, there would be no dread of spreading! imrest and Bolshevism in those distracted lands. The need of the Jiour is a strong hand to put those distracted people to work. Heaven knows there is plenty of work to be done in Europe. Somebody Some-body must step into the chaos which threatens and show them what to do. Preparation for war has been going on with more or less Intensity for more than forty cars. During the last four years the whole energy of the people has been directed to making engines of destruction. Those energies now must be directed to work of construction. : : The blessings of peace and freedom are nothing beyond the glorious privilege of doing some useful work and enjoying the fruits of that work. Jt may be that a nation, which) for several generations genera-tions has been directed in everything it did, cannot readily adapt Jtscli to new conditions' of freedom. In that event the direction should be continued. The vital need is for a job for each man and woman whose jobs have been taken from them by the ending of the war. W hen the former enemies recognize this need and go to work in the effort to make their portion of the earth a better place in which to live, they will have the sympathetic help f the rest the earth. The purposes of 'the allies have been stated a number of times; those purposes include making the world safe for liberty and justice cverf to Germans. With all their devilish treachery and .liendih atrocities in war, the Germans are only human beings poisoned with the virus of a corrupt system of government. That government has been wiped out. May we not hope that with its j:oing those depraved ehafacteritics among the paople may be, rradicated with the cause which engendered them' Clemenceau Stated the proposition succinctly, thus: "V? do not make war; Against humanity, but for humanity."
