A MIXED CROWD.
The nations are tb form a league, and make eacV
■ other behave.
They will all retain a certain degree of military ar.f’
naval strength, it will be pooled and administered by the
league under army and navy officers selected from itr
various members. There will still be bombing planes
submarines, tanks and similar confetti, but they will onl>
be used to suppress any member of the league who wan*
to fight.
The generalissimo of the composite army contributed
by the subscribing nations may belong to the nation
that tries to start a riot. It will be his duty to lead hit
army-of-all-nations against the c:my of his own r.atio-
If he is captured his own people won’t kjjow whether 1
kiss him or hang him. He will still be their commander
in-chief. \
If there are fifteen subscribing nations, and twelve
of them decide to steal territory,from the other three, Ur
three may appeal to arbitration. The assessors (contri
buted by the fifteen nations) will vote twelve to thre'
against the appellants, which suggests that the time spen’
in arbitration could be saved by a two-minute exercise in
simple arithmetic.
The moral thereof is r.ot that the principle is an
absurdity. It isn’t. It is a magnificent ideal, bub—like
all ideals—presents diffilulties in materializing. The dif
ficulties in this cause are stupendous, but not sufficiently
so to discourage,us from trying to approach as closely ar
possible to realization.
We shall not attain to it, but we shall attain to some
thing wall worth while.
Reports which have reached the Department of La
bor indicate that the prospect of early peace is leading
to withdrawal of men from war work and that some
plants have had much difficulty in keeping a working force
together because of the desire of the men to get into
peace-time occupations.
Charlies M. Schwab and Edward N. Hurley have is
sued statements to the shipbuilders urging them to re
main at their tasks and pointing out that there will be
jobs for them in the yards for years to come, because 16,-
000,000 tons of shipping are to be built and only 2,000,-
000 tons nave been completed as yet. Major General
Williams has also issued a warning to Ordance Depar,
ment employes informing them that there will be tim
enough to think of peace when the peace protocol is ac
tually signed.
The same condition applies to other war industries, an<
the Department of Labor will maintain its war progrnrr
until the necessity for it has ended. Men employed ii
essential war industries should remain until the labor de
mobilization plans of the department are announced. The
factories will be turned over eventually to peace-time
production, but the time fpr that chang e has not yet
come.
The Shipping Board, it is said, needs a large number
of men, not only to build ships but to man them when
they are completed. Because of the prompt announce
ments of Mr. Schwab and Mr. Hurley, the shipyard have
lost comparatively few men since peace talk began.
Secretary McAdoo has evidently for years been Secre
tary Much-To-do.
President Wilson is even willing to face sen-slcknc:;
tn the interests of peace.
We hope that for all future time tha world’s only use
for trenches will be for raising celery.

WHY HE CAN’T "COME BACK ’
(From The Atlanta Journal.
Persons who are uneasy over the possibility of the
former Kaiser’s returning to power are assured by the
New York World that there are three formidable reasons
why he will not, namely: "The armies of the Allies the
erman people and the Kaisr himself.”
In his own estimation, of course, Wilhelm Hohenzol-
lem is still “all highest,’’ and doubtless he still dreams of
bestriding the world like a celossus. But would the fugi-
ive emperor who had no more courage or honoV than to
un away from his people in their hour of gravest per
plexity and his own hour of gravest responsibility prove
'.quel to a high and perilous adventure? He is easily
magined in the role of an'assin or sneak thief, but
•tardly in that of a Napoleonic return from Elba. Nor is
it likely, thinks the World, that the German people, stron:
inclined though them might be to the re-establishmcrd
of a monarchy ar.d of a dynasty, would turn for that pur
pose to the king of cads now skulking In Holland.-
But most assuring is the fact that Allied armies, Yep

The Jackson Progress-Argus.
Mr. Williams was able to lose his $30,000 and able to
spend much money in exploiting his campaign, but the
greatest cost is that he has entailed upon the citizenry of
Georgia, causing many of them to violate their primary
pledge. He oaly carried one little north Georgia county.
