Although peace la not ret In sight. England u a trendy taking steps to ward * alow and gradual demobilisa tion of her great army. An Inkling of wfeat would happen ahonld an y I grant number of lighting men be sud denly thrown aahore on England's coast has been gleaned from the pranks of restless convalescents. K la stated on good authority that ar rangementa have been made to house the new army In northern France for some time after peace has bean de clared, allowing only small bodiea of men to cross the channel at a time. Am the demobilised soldiers cross to England, they will be dlspoeed most systematically. In ote of the largest club buildings in London, commandeered for the express pur pose, there is being prepared a card Index of every soldier, showing his history, qualifications and business training. When the army disbands, England expects to know exactly what human resources she possesses and she Is determined to use these toward rebuilding her world trade. In conjunction with the card In dexing of the soldiers, some of the Empires greateet organisers are mak ing a survey of factories, wholesale houses, shipyards and all businesses requiring labor. The number of ifien Beaded for each will be accurately charted end when the time comes, the ex -soldier will be offered imme diate employment. How well England is -anticipating the ftttuie een only be conjectured, for very few persona know the extent of the plans. But a good Indication of how determined the effort is, was shown In the commandeering of the aatlonal liberal Club building. The announcement or this act on the part of the government came like a bolt from a clear sky to the club mem bers. They protested Indignantly until the president of the club ex plained the reason: that, England wanted their premises to care for the future of the men who were fac ing death In France. The protestors left the building after a patriotic demonstration. The traditions of years were to be thrown overboard to make room for the salvaging of England'! trade. Not only London but every city of the Empire will become . a great clearing house for labor. The ap palling cost of warfare is to be dis cussed, in so far as possible, by utilising fully the virile and revital ised manhood which war produces. If Germany showed greater efficiency In preparing for war, Teutonic In genuity will be taxed to the limit to outdo tKe Anglo-Saxon in preparing for peace. JAPAN WILL TRY TO RULE OVER CHINA (Special Correspondent) Shanghai Oct. 9. ? "I am convinc ed that Japan will attempt to consol idate her power over China, while the war lasts. and while America la preoccupied with the Presidential campaign, no ?he can face the Pow ers after the war with the accom plished fact. The officials at the head of the present Chinese Govern ment will have to pay their bill to Japan for the assistance rendered in "punishii^^Yuan. The demand' for a new Cabinet in Japan, to be headed by Count Te rauchl (who gave the coup de grace to the Independence of Korea) means that the militarists and bureaucrata want a man at the head of the gov-! ernment who will carry through the' same programme in China. The only things that will hold Ja pan in check are public opinion and publicity. If she succeeds in domi nating China at this time, it will be difficult to dislodge her, and the day will be hastened when she will de termine to settle other Issues pending with us. I am trying to present the Ameri can viewpoint. ThlB is the sole ob ject in sending you these articles. Japanese publicists In America are certain to* deny what their astute, ambitious statesmen are evidently planning to do. 1 am basing all my articles on the admissions of the Japanese themselves, so I cannot be misinterpreted.
