R. Friends and relatives have beer L killed. Their homes have been dev astated. There has been no commu b- nication between millions of families t for over a year.- Other evidence indi n- cates that some of the warring coun tries are planning a campaign upon In America for the purpose of induc it, ing able-bodied- men'to return to their native lands to aid in the rebuilding process. They want men, and they rs want the accumulated capital which these men will bring back with them; U- and 200,000 men with $500 each st would mean an addition to the capital r, resources of Europe of $100,000,000. It .r- is probable that great stretches of Eu ?s rope now divided into great feudal es 's, tates will be broken up into small )holdings, to be sold to natives and ?. returned foreign-born from America Lt- as small farms. For many nobles of r central Europe have begn killed. Many more have been bankrupted. The :e shortage of labor will make it difficult J. for them to work their estates. It is 7not impossible that the United States. may be a country from which the 2able-bodied will emigrate, rather than );a country into -which they will immi grate. This, of course, is a matter of Rspeculation. It will depend upon in 1dustrial conditions in Europe on the Sone hanid, and industrial conditions in, America on the other.
