Bwoct Only Quibbling On the Peace Terms. !AcIviccB from Turin any that the German pence delegates show n gen eral willinnesH to nreo to tlio nliied terms, except that they itiHist they will not pay an indemnity. This determination may not ha ho serious, an it sounds. It is largely matter of definition. lly "indemnity" the Germans are said Lo mean ''punl , tivo damages," a payment made hy way of fine or punishment. They me ftaid to he willing to pay any reason able Bum that it put down as ''reparn tlon,' that is, compenHnliori for com jmtahle tlumnes inflicted by them in the course of the war. This acorns to ho somewhat of n quihlile. It is drawing pi'titty fine dislim'tiann. Tlie Century Dictionary defines "indemnity" na "compensa tion for loss, damnpo or injury sus tained which seems to he just nboul what most people, including tho Ger mans, mean when they speak of "rep aration," Hut, after all, it matters little what technical terms are used. All the Germans can possibly pay will not equal the actual "loss, damage or in jury" they have infiicled on the Al JieH. If the Huns prefer the mild word, "reparation," therefore, there need ho no dispute. In any event,,-tho result will bo the same. They will pay all that can he squeezed out at them. All Soldiers Are Welcome On Wednesday. It is to he understood without res ervation that all who have been in the service- who have returned home ure Invited to the reception that is tu be given in honor, of the Hospital, Unit, All who had a part in the common cause may safely feel that they are held in the highest appre ciation. When the hoys were leaving, it was the rule for I.u Grande to, give them j a farewell reception, and that feelinjt has in no way diminished, although as n "function" it was more practic able to honor tho forth-going soldier.s in considerable numbers at n time than it is lo celebrate their return, ns they come home in much smaller groups or as is the principal rule, one at n time. The occasion is now offered when the hospital unit, is coming home al most in n body as it left, to not only honor the members of that unit, but fill others who were in the serv.ice. This is the i 1 1 1 o 1 1 i . n all the way throu-rh.

And now that peace is here, the intense excitement of con flict over, are we ready, individually, individually industrially and national ly to go forward? To go forward with a new energy, a new economy and a new enthusiasm? The test of our worth and our patriotism lies in the answer to those questions.

Statistics collected from u , fa number of sources show that greater 3 use, of advertising is being made than p ever before. fe -The Information . and Education fej Service of the Department of Labor i a! commends heartily the present use of advertising as a most patriotic public service. During the war the depart- f ment and other e-overninont.-il :!-eiie;c y were compelled to ask pcopfe not to buy anything not actually essential, because the war had to go on; but . now, when it is of the greatest im portance that the wheels of iml'e-.try start running smoothly, advertia n;; and buying are the. processes mosi necessary to start them. Hy advertising extensively the seller informs his market what goods c;in bo bought to advantage, lly careful reading of the advertisements the pur chaser is enabled to choose discrimi natingly, in order that his own needs may be best met and in order that, his money may be utilized to best purposes. The Information Service is doiotr, what it can to cooperale witli news papers, advertisers, and the ennsum- ling public, in order that the interests of all three may be served through the stimulation of advertising. It .is the view of department officials that the effect of the, Advertising already pub lished has been. muiUed in aiding Iho restoration of business to normal, nod; that through tho consistent use of ad vertising much can bo done to achieve national prosperity. ;i IMPIIOVKMENT IX Cl'.I.OIA.V iMi'STi!i.i,1Krnvnox A rapid resumption, of production ' In Ilolgian Industries Is expected to1 follow the efforts now being ninile by tlio industrial comniilteo on im portation of raw materials ami equipments from tries to refurnish ed by the enemy.
