END OF STRIKE IN SIGHT Prospect- for quick settlement of the coa] strike and resumption of work under normal conditions at as early a date as possible is hailed with deliglit. As. the Baltimore American says, "the motive, that appears to have been strongest in the direction of peace is the fear felt byvleading. mine officials that the principle of collective bar gamin;; that has come into respectable recognition might be lost through stubbornness dis played by the miners. "Mr. Wilson will credited with the last word in effecting the close of the strike. This is as it should be. The head of the nation is cer tainly the court of last resort, and his advices ought to hav^ weight in great industrial crises. Neverthe less the miners have made a bad record. Despite the fact of their submission to the injunction and professions of outright Americanism, the strike whs kept up to the point at which indictments were brought against the miners' leaders, both national and local. <lIf the strike shall happily close the result will be a triumph for law and order. It will he fre*h evi dence that the American people will tolerate no coalition that refuses to abide by the woril of the govern ment itself. Mr. Wilson branded the strike as criminal, and it had many features of criminality, with a verge toward revolution. This typo of industrial action is not likely to find repetition in the neu;r future. THE ARMISTICE WAS A CRIME # The truth will out! Speaking at. a banquet of veteran officers of the Spanish American and World wars at ,the Army and Navy ?Club in Washington. November 2U. General George Harries, chief of the Allied Commission in Berlin after th0 signing of the armistice, declared that the armistice was "lit tle short of a crime." The Pt;rshing plan. General Har ries further explained, was to force the German armv to surren X ' S der in the field; occupation of seven strategic cities Wy Allied forces: lifting of the blockade: removal of all war materials from Germany, and to impress the German people with the fact that they had been defeated. The armistice was a compact with death. The German people were jiot. then and are not now impressed ? ith the fact that their armies were defeated. They escaped contact with invasion. They signe'd the | armistice ivith hatred in their hearts and with the lust'for vengeance al ready burning in^heir heads. They have made no peace. Theim-eturn ! ing armies have been converted into emissaries of revolution or have I ? \ . | been enlisted in the campaign to ' conquer by guile the markets of the i Allies. They have merely changed their methods of attack. Their con version to republicanism was a de lusron gnd a snare. They have stopped at .in oasis for a breathing space?that is all. ?God {rave the universal enemy in ! to our hands, but we signed away ?the triumph. | Of all the colossal blunders re ( corded in history the granting frf I the armistice was the most colos Jsal. Instead of observing November ill as an international holiday * of , thanksgiving, civilization is more i than likely to look back to it ar I rayed in sackcloth and ashes. ' Soldiers won the great war and diplomats tossed the victory flnto the waste basket. \ It is charity to say that the arm istice was "little short of a crime." ?{-Manufacturers' Record. POWER OF THE BOOK OF BOOKS '?'More and more it is realized that the Bible is the only book in the world which can he applied to nl? classes, all conditions and all times." says, the New York Herald.
