It is admitted that the board has done excellent service thus far. Its decrees have, in the main, been fair, considering the exigencies, nnd they have been ac cepted in good spirit by both sides to the controversy. If labor tioubles could be adjusted so successfully in peace times nothing better could be asked. But why has tho board been so suc cessful? The answer is: Because it was a war board. If the employes lefused to woik for the wages which the board decided were fair they were exposed to the charge of giving aid and comfort to the enemy. The President himself protested against a threatened strike of carpenters and told them that if they struck they would ho traitors to their country by deliber ately interfering with the prosecution of tho war. The carpenters decided to re main at work. If the employe) s refused to pay the Wages decreed they were exposed at once to coercion from Washington. The Government had, or assumed to have, the power to close their plants by draft ing their employes into tho army and by refusing to peimit any other men to work for them or by depriving them of fuel and raw materials. Rather than expose themselves to such punishment the employers accepted the awards. In other words, the Government was supposed to have the power to enforce the decrees of tho War Labor Board and no one daied or cared to question its power. Although peace has not yet been de clared, it is doubtful if a decree unsatis factory to either the employes or the employers could now be enforced. When the peace treaties are signed and the technical state of war which now exists comes to an end there will temain not even the ghost of the war power of the Government over the relations of em ployer and employe. Still further, the American Fedeiation of Labor, which patriotically decided that its members would abide by the board's settlement of all disputes until peace was declared, will be released fiom its pledge and rightly so when its condi tions are fulfilled. That means with the coming of peace. The ability of a new labor board to function in peace times depends on its power to enforce its decisions. Such arbitration awards as have been made in the past by the entirely neutral United States Board of Mediation and Concilia tion under the Department of Labor have been accepted, if accepted at all, because of the force of public opinion behind them, not because of any authority resid ing in any court to enforce them. A new board composed of an equal num ber of representatives of the workers and of the employers, with an impartial third party to cast a deciding vote, would still be dependent on the force of public opinion to compel respect for its decisions. But it would probably be a divided public opinion, one section of the public holding with the views of the em ploying members of the board and an other section holding with the views of the representatives of the workeis. This would be unfortunate, but experience with past efforts at industrial concilia tion does not justify any other conclu sion. Nevertheless, the effort to discoer some way for preserving industrial peace should not be slackened. It is of transcendent importance at the pieserit time, when large masses of laboi- are to be returned to peaceful pursuits and are to be fitted back into the industries from which they were drawn by the war. The soldiers can be disposed of much more easily than those men and women who have been receiving in munition works and shipyards twice what they ever earned in peace times. In older to re duce difficulties to the minimum tho labor leaders and the employers will have to be wise and patient and, withal, so fair that public opinion will condemn the trouble makers. Public opinion is, after all, the only force which we havo to compel respect for any labor award, however it is made. The Perching boom which Btarted in Ohio has already begun to echo In Reading.

So gencron" CRANBERRY SAUCE Thanksgiving and Thankskecping W K THINK that almost all of us have a secret feeling of uneasiness that the celebration of November 11 did not quite epress nil that was in our hearts. It was a natural outburst of spirits, distilled and otherwise it was a glorious pagan rout; but it was somewhat overburdened with ilamor. It 1 no means went to the bot tom of our ouls, where the coming of pcaco (plentifully attended with victory) stirs the most poignant compassions and gratitudes we know. ' The truth of tho matter is that we all still have, In the Inmost conldors of our beings, n ' reserve of celebration and Joy. ousness that pains its becauso wo don't know how to express it. Probably more poems have been started and destroyed by conscientious poets In the last fifteen days than ever before. Even the poets have felt, or have been told bv their friends, that the situation was too big for them to handle. The four weeks from Thanksgiving to Christmas, the brightest . nd happiest davs allotted to the calendar, : re consecrated to gratitude for our own undeserved fortunes, to forethought for magnifying the foi tunes of others. a Ojbtcr Bay's Chance 'Russell Harrison and Otheit" tele graphing wildly to Ojster Bay for assist ance in eterminatlng a "wild animal, identity not yet established," that is terri fying the suburbs of Knoxville, Tennessee, confirm a suspicion that has several times come to us.

John Masefleld sajs: " did not begin to read poetry with passion and system until 1896. 1 was living then in Yonkers, X. Y. (at S Maple ntreet).

This Is the primary significance of' the ominous war cloud darkening the Pacific coast of South America at the present moment. That such a shadow should be cast almost Immediately upon the cessation of an ap palling era of international strife furnishes at first blush ammunition for the cynic Scorn of human shortsightedness, following the most tragical exposition of war's agony, may spring readily from the lips of the thoughtless But the charge In this Instance would e both unjust and parochial. Two nations capable of notable contilbutlons to the world's progiess are not squabbling over trlries. An issue seared with memories both of bitter ness and triumph, a question of unceasingly disturbing intricacy, calls for dnal settlement if any svstem of International safeguards are to be operated on a basis of equity. rpHERi: are certain sttiklng analogies be-- tween the protracted 'lost provinces" crisis in South America and what was once the ARtce-Lorrainc problem. The prldo of Teru on the continent of South America in 1S79 horn vivid resemblances to that of Trance on the continent of Europe In 1870. Both nations fought with desperate courage a foe far better organized, far better equipped with material advantages in war. Both nations suffered destructive invasion and v loldeil prov inces which were extremely Im portant sources of national prosperity. The parallel, however, cannot be carried much further. Prance and Germany had taken opposing courses for centuries Petu and Chile bad undergono a common Spanish oppression, had waged war as allies and were closely akin In race, traditions and Ideals The violent clash of these two nations was perhaps Intensified by their very ties, as was the Impact of the Notth and South in our own Civil War As bo often happens In history, a stiuggle between major contestants was occasioned by a third parti, which eventually played a sub ordinate role. Bolivia, In 1879, extended to a small coastal strip between the territories of Feru and Chile Nitrate deposits of enormous valuo had been discovered there, and the Chilean Nitrato Company had developed and worked them near tho then shabby little port of Antofagasta. , Claiming that the Bolivians had sought to Impose confiscatory taxes on the export of this treasure and that in so doing they were egged on by Peru, possessor of a similarly rich domain In Tacna and Arlca, to tho north, the Chileans took possession ot Antofagasta without a declaration of hostilities In March. 1879, Bolivia declared war, and Peru Immediately offered her services as mediator. But this effort the Chileans Inter preted as a move against them, sinco they hnd learned of a secret treaty aheady ex isting between Bolivia and Peru Tho blame for Involving these three republics In a war, which, Judged even by recent (standards, was bitterly sanguinary, has never been authori tatively fixed. Peru still asserts that her treaty with Bolivia was for defensive purposes, and that Chile not only lusted for the Antofagasta region, but for tho equally lucratlvo Peru vian provinces of Tacna nnd Arlca. Chile, maintaining, as she still does, that Peru's diplomacy involved a bieach of faith, insisted that Peru Bhould cease defensive prepara tions, annul the treaty with Bolivia and declare her neutralltj. Peru scorned the ulti matum, and the war broke out. BOLIVIA, much the pooler and "Jeast de veloped of the three belligerents, lost her seacoast, and soon took a. relatively minor part In tho fray: but Peru and chile, on tropical deserts, mountains and plains, fought a series of) remarkable campaigns, In which literally prodigies of valor were performed. Save only In the bloody battle of Tarapaca, which was not followed up by the victors, the Peruvians, hampered malnlj by Inferi orty of rifles and artillery, were unsuccessful in all the land engagements 'lhe series of disasters led to the fall of Lima, where bitter memories of the Chilean occupation are not yet effaced. Previous to that event the climax of hero Ism In the Peruvian army was attained In the extraordinary combat of Arlea, where the Indomitable Bologncsl was slain and the equally gallant Ugarte was hurled from the summit of the Morro 700 feet to the plain below. Virtually tho whole of the Peruvian forces which remained were driven off the cliff, some of the wounded clinging plteously to the sides of the precipice for days. Lima has an eloquent statue to Bolognesl now, and his memory Is a precious Jewel In Peru's crown of honor. IT WAS the sea fighting, however, which gave the struggle a fairly International importance. The first engagements between modern types of Ironclads were fought ln.the waters of tho South Pacific In the first en counter off Iqulque, Prat, the brave Chilean admiral, was killed after he had leaped from his own rammed vessel and boarded the Peruvian ironclad Huascar. The conflict was rated as a victory for Peru, though at an alarming cost, for the Independence, one of her most valuable ships, had been lost, and by the time the Chileans had augmented thtlr naval strength for the next fray the Huascar was tragically overmatched. This final major sea battle took place off Aiigamos, and Qiau the Peruvian com mander, was In a plight even worse than that of Prat It was virtually a case of one ship against a fleet Grau was Blaln, and the command of lhe Huascar had changed four times bcfoie the Homeric contest was over. The Huascar was a shambles When she sur rendered she was in command of a junior lieutenant, thiee-fourths of her crew were killed and wounded and her steering gear had been shot awaj One wonders whut such a recotd of heroism meant to the German navy, which raised the white flag In the Firth of .Torth Very probably it was set down as an extreme example of utterly loinantic folly. THE battle ot Angdmos gave to Chile con tiol of the sea, and her expeditionary forces proceeded to the Invasion of Peru, whose humiliation was consummated In tho treaty of Ancon, whereby Tarapaca was per- manenuy lost to ner ana Arlca and Tacna wero occupied for ten years. At least, that Is what was stipulated In the agreement. But the facts are that the Chilean flag still waves over the two rich nitrate regions The arrangement had been that, after ten years ot occupation, a plebiscite should be held which should determine which nation should possess theBe domains. AVhlchever won the verdict was to pay the sum of J 5,000,000 to the other contracting party HEREIN lies tbe crux of the sinlstei un rest on the slope of the Andes. The modus operandi of the plebiscite has never been determined. Peru claiming that only Peruvians should be entitled to vote, and Chile Insisting that all new settlers from that republic should also be considered, In the meantime, diplomatic relations between the two countries have never been fully restored. No Peruvian minister has ever gone to Val paraiso or any official Chilean legate been accredited to Lima since the war of 1378 1884 I And today, In the midst ot revived pas sions on the old theme, the consuls of both countries are being recalled.

Eugeiie JIaivey, the Philadelphia banker, who rejoices that tho close of tho war will enable Victor Herbert and the other musical geniuses to get busy again, knows our Hoboken friend.

It wrs late that night bifore the accommodation tialn from Perry vlile rolled into Broad stieet with Watson and White on board, and it was early in the morning before the Congressman pushed his night key into the door at Langhorne. But he still maintains that with n, compe tent mechanician on board he can beat the Penrose car.
