According to wire reports the "cease firing" order has been delivered in embattled China, and for the first time in over a decade peace will soon reign in far-off Cathay. A great achievement, and credit for same must be given to General Marshall, our new envoy to Chungking. But this is a case where those who know most about China, its internal situation, and the Chinese character, will be disposed velopments before joining FOR an order to cease firing is one thing; restoring law and order throughout China something else again. Moreover, there can in China until one side struggle really backs down. Either the Chinese disband their armies or submit them to absolute con trol by Chiang Kai Shek, or, Chiang Kai Shek must agree to abandon the conservative agrarian and private policies of his party and take a sharp turn to the left, if not go over to out right Communistic ideology WTHEN official word comes from China that either "of these two vital steps has been taken, this de partment will join in the celebration, such a political miracle would deserve. But until then, we shall the editorial fingers crossed, maintain our habitat in Mr. Missouri. Revolt in Speaking of China, Kong is reported to be greatly alarmed by the signs of revolt and dissension in the American army. Well, a British general egular U. S. army officer matter. For the first duty of a is to obey and keep his mouth shut. The American doughboys are obeying, but thev are not keeping their mouths shut, they want to get home, and they are making no bones about saying so. ' e e "e e a A CERTAIN U. S. army officer in Manila made the best rejoinder when he stated to a group of vocal malcontents: "Boys, you are not In General Motors, you are In the army now." They are in the army now and they should ac cept without protest whatever their superior officers declare the official program of discharge to be. Now that their commander-in-chief, the President himself has publicly endorsed this official demobilization plan, perhaps they will. RUT, if they don't, it should, we think, cause no particular alarm. For it is not, as the British general fears, a re volt, in the accepted military sense at least. It is a perfectly natural vocal reaction of any essentially civilian and non-professional army, which is forced to remain in service, particularly thousands of miles from home, when the reasons for such service are over. This American army in World War No. II was undoubtedly the greatest FIGHTING army this coun try has ever seen. But the boys in it went do guard-duty, police duty, or week after week, noth ing much at all. And naturally they don get out at the earliest possible moment. And those who have been in the army longest want to get out of it most, and should as far as that is concerned. a a a a a BUT they can't ALL get out at once. And some, as wuc x i coiiici! u iicin ouiiuu, Lewi t uut, cit ui, at least until the conditions, both in Europe and the Far East materially change. A larger peace army than ever before must be maintained. The question, therefore, comes down to this. who should get out now and job? There is the fly in this particular ointment. Says' President Tinman : "I have reviewed once more the army and navy pro cedures. I am convinced, as every American who examines the record must be, that the services are carrying out de mobilization with all possible speed, with commendable ef ficiency ond with Justice to all concerned." Well, that is plain enough. And it puts the burden of proof certainlv upon those who maintain otherwise, particularly that jus tice to the service men is NOT being done. In lieu of such proof the present agitation and unrest in the army will soon die down and the rank and peace, however irksome it admirably in war. RS. Those who can't understand this resentful senti ment in the army, probably fail to realize what a change there has been in CIVILIAN morale since the Second World War ended. We were all fighting shoulder to shoulder behind the front six months ago. there was little, if any, internal dissension. Now the country is filled with it as this epidemic of strikes is only one evidence. The army, naturally, reflects the sentiment back home. The army, to repeat, is not a professional but a to await further de in any celebration. be no PERMANENT peace or the other in this bitter Communists must agree to and practice. feel constrained to keep and spiritually speaking, Truman's great state of the Army? a British general in Hone would be. So would any in this country, for that good soldier in anv armv. abroad to fitrht. not to t like it. Thev want to who should stav on the this department is certain, file will do their duty in may be, as they did it so civilian army, called into service only to do one thing, defeat the enemy. That done, the boys can see no sense in carrying a gun longer, they want to call it a day and get back home ! R.W.R. Your H jalth and It's Care By OR.

DAMPNESS The rheumatics like to have the world believe they can "feel in their bones" an approach lng storm or change of weather, but Just between ourselves the neurotics, the psychotics and most other in valids or vale tudinarians re act to change of weather just as much as the rheumatics do, Dr. Brady only the rheu matics have pre-empted the pri vilege of telling the world about it. Patsy and Willum conferred about the situation one day when I asked their mamas not to take them up the Icy mountain road for winter sports; they decided that I am an old fussbudget. There may be some truth in that I am almost impossible to live with when the winter rains come and the bowling greens are just duck ponds forever and a day. The dampness gets me down then, my general manager can tell you. I take it out on my readers for certainly I serve things heavily sauced with sar casm at that time of year. Perhaps you will have little confidence in my views or opinions regarding dampness. That depends on how old you are other than chronologically. If you are still young enough to think for yourself, what do you think of my advice? My advice is as follows: 1. Never mind dampness any where at any time if you can contrive to keep physically com fortable. 2. Never worry about getting wet through and having to wear the wet clothes for hours or days before you can change to dry. 3. Never concern yourself about wet feet, so far as health is concerned. Wetting may not be good for shoes but I assure you it is harmless to health in any circumstance. PRINTERS ACCEPT SEATTLE PAPERS Seattle, Jan. 12 (U.R) The 55 - day - old Seattle newspaper strike ended tonight as striking printers voted to accept a pub lishers offer which increased daily printers wages $2.65 and night shift union mens' salaries by $2.90. Staffs of the morning Post Intelligencer and the Times streamed back into long-idle newsrooms as picket lines were lifted, and prepared to turn out editions tonight and Sunday. The publishers' offer, a com promise to union demands for a $2.95 dally wage increase, was retroactive from Sept. 18 to Nov 18, the day printers walked out to support their demands. Meantime, worried city offi cials were closeted with three U. S. conciliation officers, of ficials of the Bus Drivers union, and the Seattle Transit commis sion in efforts to settle a two day transit tie-up which has left 250,000 residents without trans portation. End of the newspaper strike came less than three hours after machinists in 47 up-town shops voted overwhelmingly in favor of striking to support 30 per cent wage increase demands. Date for the machinists strike was not set pending word from the union's Washington, D. C headquarters.

If you have any sort of chronic joint trouble or chronic respiratory disease or chronic sinusitis or chronic cardiovascu lar disease or chronic nerve dis ease, and economic or other con ditions prevent a sojourn or a move to another climate, don't feel deprived of a possible cure none of the people who go away for their health (as they say) will find a cure at the end of the rainbow. 5. Remember, there Is ultra violet in daylight everywhere, winter and summer, and if you are in earnest about it you can absorb your share of it right there at home regardless of cli mate, season or weather.

We have three children aged 2, 5 and 7 years. Have wondered lately Just how to word the pledge aga!"st alco hol and tob-cco. (Mrs. M. W. J.I Answer Perhaps one or our w. t-. T. U. friends, if any, will supply a copy of the pledge. Chlornmlne Read in scientific Journal that choloramime tablets are a good anti septic mouthwash. I hove found them excellent as dentrifrice too one tab let dissolved In one-half glassful of woter. What effe-t would they hove on the teeth? (M. H.) Answer Convenient way to apply chlorine as antisentic. Chlorine Is the active element in chlorinated lime (commonly called chiorld of lime), much used as disinfectant. It is some what deodorant. In my ooinlon plain soap, any soao you have handy, is as good as anything else to keep mouth and teeth clean. Not even chlorine Is a better antisentic than soap or soapy water. So far as I know the constant use of chloromine should not injure the teeth, but I'd ask my denf'st nbout that.

It tells how to use flax seeds and plain wheat to help correct the bad habit. (Copyright 1946 by John F. Dille Co.) DISORDER RULES Port au Prince, Haiti, Jan. 12 (U.R) A military junta which took control of Haiti after de posing and imprisoning presi dent Elie Lescot worked fever ishly tonisht to set up a new government. Ten persons were killed and 100 were injured in the disor ders that culminated in Lescot's ousting yesterday.

McNarney asked soldiers in the European theater today not to hold any more de mobilization demonstrations and a delegation of 55 GI's agreed that the need for them no longer existed. McNarney, commander of American army forces in Eur ope, told the servicemen that the demonstrations could have a bad effect on both Germans and other occupation forces. He ad mitted, however, that they had "served a useful purpose." The soldier representatives met informally with McNarney and staff officers to ask ques tions and make complaints about redeployment delays. Before the questioning began, McNarney listed three reasons why American forces could not leave the European theater im mediately: 1. The United States has ac cepted occupation responsibili ties. 2. Millions of dollars worth of surplus property must be dis posed of. 3. Many prisoners of war and Nazis must be guarded and con trolled. T5 Norman M. Rose, Los An geles, took advantage of McNar- ney's plea for frankness when he complained that his work as army photographer consisted of taking pictures of "redeploying dogs" and "generals trading de corations.
