NEW VOLUNTEER ARMY With something like 1,300,000 troops still In France and along the Rhine, the United States is planning to raise and send over a new army. It may look strange, but it is the natural thing to do and the war de partment proposes to raise such an army. There is also an urgent call tor men to Join the United States marines men who seek adventure and want to see "what is going on over the world. The men now in the army nearly all enlisted or iwere drafted for the period of the war. Accordingly It Is Incumbent on the war department to muster them out iwhen the war is over, or as soon thereafter as pos sible. Not only have they a technical right to return to civilian life, but most of them are tired of the war, and still more tired of the police duty that follows it, and want to get back to their families, friends and Jobs. It is evident that American troops are going to be needed In Europe for months, or even years, sfter the peace treaty is signed.

Those (who have never worn the khaki may have a hard time getting in, iwben once the en listment rush has started. Senator Johnson, of California, sees calamity ahead because of the activities of the Japanese In Old Mex ico; because of the bolshevikl prop aganda being distributed in the United States; the restless attitude of the masses because the president and his cabinet are hob-nobbing In Europe, and says "there Is nobody at home In America." The Senator says we are under the spell of a world hypotism, not conscious of what Is occurring albout us, and sug gests that we "make it respectable to be an American again." Not a bad Idea.

Let's give ths league ot na tions a fair test; nevertheless, it we remember aright, America entered the iwar, as President Wilson said, to "crush Prussian militarism" that object has been accomplished. The war waa not fought In vain. There is a champion for every thingeven the bolshevikl and the common crow. An authority comes out with the statement that the crow pays for his keep by eating thousands of crop destroying Insects.
