BUSN1ESS ON THE BOOM
Every Section of the United
States is Experiencing
Prosperity.

p-™- VVM, I L, Buffalo.
In the face of a devastating
war. which is engaging mo§t of
Europe, and the influence of
which is necessarily reflected in
every neutral country, the United
States, according to reliable re-
liable reports to the New York
Herald, is facing an unprece-
dented era of prosperity.
From the West. Northwest,
Middle West, and from the South-
ern and Eastern states comes the
game story. It is one of large
crops, plenty of money, increased
bank deposits, lower cost of liv-
ing, improved labor conditions,
a minimum of strikes, increases
in wages as the demand for both
skilled labor grows, and an opti-
and living going down at the
same time. From every poin1
the demand for men who will
work is emphasized. From St.
Paul, Minn., and Portland, Ore.,
come glowing reports of condi-
ditions in the Northwest. The
former city reports bank de-
posits increasing at the rate of
one million dollars per month,
big crops, no strikes and satisfied
workmen. Portland business
men assert that conditions have
improved vastly since last year
and are continuing to improve
and in neither of these states, it
js asserted, are war orders an
important factor in the situation.
From Tennessee, Mississippi,
Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri,
and other Southern states comes
word that while industrial condi-
tions have been below normal,
they are forging ahead fast.
Everywhere there seems to be a
spirit of optimism, and this is es-
pecially true in those sections
which were the first to ieei itie

And the result of this scheme
of heart instead of fist? A quick
drop of two-thirds in the number
of men who required discipline.
That was pure gain, and a big
one, for the railroad, but the
forgotten that the one great les-
son of all our wars is that they
must be carried to a conclusion
by citizen soldiers and the citi-
zens must be trained. To thrust
untrained citizens into the field
is notning short of death by gov-
ernmental order.
