THE CHANDLER TRIBUNE

France, with a smaller population, is said to
have lost 4,000,000.
We got off easy in this war; but we entered
it just at the moment when it meant sure victory
for the entente. Our 230,000 casualties turned
the scales and saved civilization.
WHAT IS THE REASON?
Entered as second-class matter February, 1908, at
the postoffice, Chandler, Oklahoma, under Act of Con-
gress of March 3, 1879. ___
All Subscriptions Payable in Advance.
Advertising Rates Given upon Application.
Up until about two years ago men in Chandler
who were between the ages of 21 and 50 had been
paying $4.00 poll tax and our streets were mod-
erately clean. Now the streets are moderately
dirty and in fact filthy and these same men are
now paying $5.00 a year poll tax. Can anybody
give a good reason for the deplorable condition
of Chandler’s streets ? We also take exception to
the continued violation of traffic laws in Chand-
ler—they should be, we think, more rigidly en-
forced.

GIVE THEM THE WELCOME THEY NEED.
THE COMING SPRING DRIVE.
ARMY DEMOBILIZATION.
Some of the boys from Lincoln county who
went forth to war will soon be returning.
Nothing finer in the way of slogans has been con-
cocted in a long time than that which advises us
to give them a splendid welcome in the home.
The homes of Lincoln county that have service
stars in the windows will brighten up as never
before this Christmas holiday, meaning, of
course, those that have not been sorrowed with
casualties.
“Peace on earth, good will toward men,” will
be the universal slogan. Bright lights, laughter
and happy conversation will be the rule.
Naturally, only a small proportion of those
who went away will be “back home” by Christ-
mas; but in the homes of those who have not
yet returned the abiding joy will be great never-
theless. It’s going to be a great peace Christmas.
OUR CASUALTIES INSIGNIFICANT.
There have been some 6ne hundred casualties
in Lincoln county during the war and we have
been under the impression that they were suffi-
cient during our year of conflict.
The nation as a whole suffered 50,000 killed,
as has been announced, and 180,000 wounded—
which by the way proved greater figures than
was suspected.
But incomparison consider the casualties of
England. The full sum of bloody sacrifice on
land meant 3,049,000 casualties for that country
—likewise a larger figure than was suspected.
All over the country plans are being formu-
lated for activity this coming spring in the im-
provement of highways. Be they already im-
proved or dirt roads, they will need attention.
Lincoln county is sure to see its share of this
activity.
This will constitute the new spring drive.
And while this is being done, it will be a good
plan to eliminate more of the deadly “grade
crossings”, which seem to abound everywhere.
Our boys in tahmrfdwlyuytahmgoo hmrf
Lincoln county fellows in uniform, so it is
stated, wherever they may be stationed, are
popular with the girls, thus contributing their
bit to hold up the traditions of the army.
Lemons are good for the influenza and when
the disease was at its height the wholesale deal-
ers, jobbers, etc., jacked up the price sky high.
It is this kind of dirty business that disgusts the
public with “the system”. •
Avoid the rush of the holidays and redeem
your War Savings pledges now. The cards are
all on file at the post office and every man,
woman and child in Chandler is( expected to make
good their promises.
Even before the armistice agree-
ment was signed by Germany, gov-
ernment officials, realizing that peace
was near .began preparations for the
demobilization of America’s big war
forces and, now that permanent peace
is assured, the work of returning to
civil life approximately four million
men no longer needed in our army
and navy is being pushed forward as
rapidly as possible.
Aside from our overseas force of
more than two million men the trans-
portation problem incident to the dis-
bandment of the nearly two million
soldiers under training here is enor-
mous, and the undertaking involved
in the returning to this country of
our big army now in Europe is far
more difficult than any similar under-
taking in the world's history.
In this connection it is interesting
to note the fact that, after the Civil
War, it took seventeen months to dis-
band the Northern army, although
that army was smaller than the one
now under training in this country,
transportation facilities it is probable
that the demobilization of the present
forces in America will be accomplish-
ed in less than half the time required
for similar purposes at the end of the
Civil War.
Demobilization after the Franco-
Prussian War, even though no over-
sea transportation was necessary,
consumed two years and four months.
The disbandment off the Turko-1
Russion armies took about eighteen
months.
At the end of the Russo-Japanese ■
War Russia consumed thirteen months |
and Japan eight months in getting ,
their armies back home.
Although the Spanish-American
War required the oversea transporta-
tion of only a comparatively small J
number of troops, sixteen months !
elapsed after the close of the war:
before the last American forces were [
demobilized.
The work of bringing England’s !
troops back home after the Boer War!
extended over a period of ten months.
The above facts would seem to in- !
dicate that, even under the most
favorable conditions—since the Amer- j
ican army in Europe is many times I
greater than any other fighting force j
ever before sent overseas—the return j
of our European army will necessarily ;
take at least a year. However, in
view of the fact that it will probably
be necessary for America, as well as !
England, France and possibly other j
countries to maintain very consider- |
able forces in or on the borders of j
Germany for a considerable period |
in order to see to it that the terms j
of peace are complied with, it seems j
quite possible that a large number
of American soldiers may remain in
Europe and thus delay complete de-
mobilization of the expeditionary
forces for a number of years—pos-
sibly a dozen or more.

Everybody in Chandler is better looking than
they were some time ago—they don’t seem wor-
ried and don’t display that nervous tension. It’s
wonderful what peace can do for a fellow—peace
with victory!

One of the questions which seems
likely to be given prominence by
Japan and possibly by China at the
Peace Conference, is that the free-
dom of orientals from racial discrim-
ination. It is not altogether clear
how such a question can be considered
pertinent to the issues involved in —
the settlement between the allies and i
the central powers; however, if, as f
seems quite possible, the peace body —
undertakes to formulate broad gener-
al plans for a league of nations to
preserve the peace of the world, it
might well give careful considera-
tion to this grievance as being a mat-
ter liable at any time to cause war
unless properly adjusted.
