No more hopeful word has been spoken since the signing of the armistice than that of President Wilson to the American troops on Christmas day, when referring to the "chart of peace" that it has been the priviledge o.t America to offer to the world. "Now the process of settlement has been rendered comparatively simple by the fact that all the nations con cerned have accepted the chart, and the application of those principles laid down there will be their application. "The world will now know that the nations that fought this war, as well as the soldiers who represented them, are ready to make good make good not only in the assertion of their own interests, but make good in the establishment of peace upon the permanent foundation of right and justice."

STRAUS, Pwiitnt Amtrkm Stittjfa Thrift I (MWIJHAHP.W"'I l"j -re On every hand there are evidences that, though the war now i s over, it is not the intention of the Ameri can people to go back to their former habits of wastefulness. This is due tn th fart ttuat w are 'gaining an understanding of the true meaning of thrift . We have found that, contrary to the theory of many before the war, thrift does not mean money hoarding or 'miserliness or undue selfishness. On the contrary we have learned that it u rm-trnrtiTe and nDbuildint. and. for this reason, we find it advantage ous to continue its practices aunng these days of readjustment and peace. ' There are, of course, many who will relax in their frugal practices now that the stern necessities of war havo relieved the pressure somewhat But it appears that the tremendous mo mentum of thrift, acquired during the 'lost eighteen months of snffering and sacrifice, will be continued. 'There seems to be a popular desire for the, perpetuation of the thrift ftgajb schools rapidly are tak ing up thrift as a part of their cur-! ricuta. business firms arc cendu ting, well ordered campaigns to promote'; economy among their employees, and the agencies of the Government are keeping alive the patriotic appeal for : the practices of thU virtue. ; But satisfactory results could not be obtained were it not for the fact that the popular viewpoint with re-; gard to thrift is now more generally correct I One can now practice economy with-; out inviting the uncomplimrntn ry sug-' gestion that one is unprogressive, old fashioned, miserly or avaricious. In brief, there has been s complete revolution of thought The war has clarified the public mind, has swept out the cobwebs.
