An early ending is not yet in sight. The Allies are still pre- Dixie till the rest-time of paring on a gigantic scale for their supreme effort, whicn has not yet been attempted. Next autumn the world will probably find one side materi ally weakened by continuous superhuman struggle, while the other has been strengthen ed by prolonged preparation. As for the end, that cannot be expected until one side or the other is thoroughly exhausted. The best estimates are that the struggle will cost Europe from $18,000,000,000 to $20,000, 000,000 yearly until the finish. Such terrific waste cannot but profoundly affect the world's capital markets, and the ad justment of values to these ab normal conditions is still pro gressing, and the most import ant problem of the day, finan cially considered, is the paying of Europe's debt to the United : States," he said, 'you don't tell that much every week, " 'That's right, dad," I replied.

He set out to do Justice to the neglected one the worklngman. Recognizing that dull, monotonous and mind-dwarfing work must be done he made the conditions of employ ment such that men could do It and still not be stunted In their manly qualities. The world gasped when he paid $5 a day to men who merely tightened in one automobile after an other, but the money saved those' men from becoming mere machines; enabled them to live and to save like; men and cultivate wider human Inter-: sta. j In endeavoring to cure some of his, workmen from evil habits, Mr. Ford Is merely carrying out his pinciple or conserving the efficiency of his men as he would that of his machines. If a gear had a habit of slipping, that part of the machinery would be shut down until a mechanical expert could correct It. The human machines which put themselves out of order with liquor or with drugs are to be given like expert attention. In all this Mr. Ford disavows any sort of benevolvent purpose. The re ports of his company's profits empha tically demonstrate that his policy pays. Not a one of the great employ-, era who Insist on regarding labor as a commodity and men as machines are not responsible can point to a business success that parallels Ford's Yet few emulate his methods or are' willing to accept as he does the res ponsibility and the necessity of keep ing the working force In as good con-, dltlon as the mechanical equipment. ! Is It so exceedingly hard for cor porations employing labor to undr-' stand that fair play pays.? Dodge wnm DETROIT HAVE MANUFACTURED AS MANY AS 225,000 SETS OF MOTOR CAR PARTS A YEAR.
