GENERAL ViUflD URGESACTION He | All Lines of Effort Should Be Organ- ized and Every Opportunity Given Men to Settle Down in Civil Life Contented. By LEONARD WO0O0D. Major General Commanding Central De- partment, United States Army. Appreciation of the work done by our soldiers, sallors and marines In the great war can best be shown by active measures to return them to suitable civil employment upon their discharge from service. It Is a na- tional duty and one not to be shirked by a nation that stands for justice and square dealing. Our soldiers were sent to their tralning camps—to the battle line—with every demonstration of a nation's appreclation of the sacri- fice that these men were willing to make. Now that the active operations of the war are suspended we are in- clined to lose interest in those who made our success possible. This is the time for the nation to show that it understands and appreclates the sac- rifices which our men willingly made when they answered the call for na- tional service, i The 4,000,000 men inducted into the service, less the dead, are being re- turned to thelr homes. We must or- ganize all lines of effort so that every possible opportunity will be given them to settle down happily contented in civil life. Some of them we will find a bit difficult to-handle, and we must have considerable patience with them. They have been through a big experi- ence. Some are a bit unreasonable in a way, and perhaps It is hard for them to settle down. Ambition Is Aroused. In seeing that they are returned to suitable civil employment—and by that I mean employment In which they whil find contentment—we will find it at times diflicult to deal with them. We must remember that many of these men, before going for the great ven- ture, had never been far from home, had never seen the hig things of life, had never had the opportunity of finding themselves. During their serv- fce In the army they found out that all men were equal except as distin- guished one from the.other by such characteristies as inh_\'uique. educa- tion and.character. They discovered that men who are loyal, attentive to duty, always striving to do more than required, stood out among tlieir fel lows and were marked for promotion. Naturally many of them now see that their former employment will not give them the opportunities for advance ment which they have come to prize, and for that reason they want 8 change. They want a kind of employ-~ mMent which offers opportunities for promotion. Many such men are fitted for forms of employ:nent which offer this advantage, and they must be given the opportunity to try to make good in the lines of endeavor which they elect to follow. It is nof charity to give these men the opportanities for which they strive. Tt Is justice. Others are not mentally equipped to take advan- tage of such opportunities if offered, and with these we will find it more difficult to deal. They must be rea- soned with, and directed, if possible, into the kind of employment best sult- ed to their characteristics. We will find many of the men have temporarily lost efficiency in the lines of employment which they followed be- fore entering the service, but for that reason alone they must not be deprived of the opportunity to regain their efli- clency in those lines, nor can they be offered reduced wages during this pe riod. Give Them Square Deal. Onr soldiers, sailors and marin s offered themselves for the great ad- venture. Many of them have been through the great adventure, in which they offered thefr lives, to the end that justice might prevail and the world be made safe to live in. Those who did not come face to face with the great adventure nevertheless were ready to do so, and it was through no fault of theirs that they dfd not hiace the opportunity. In training camps working from early morning until late at night, fitting their bodles to meet the phy al hardships «f war, fitting their minds to meet the mental shock of combat, and in the bLattle line uo- | der soul-stirring conditions, these men stood ready to make the great sacri- fice. Let us remember that a square deal irged soldie.s for our honorably sallors and marines wili the morale of the nation and will help to ereate a sound national conseioas ness ready to act proriptly in support of trath, justice and right, | Born in a Bobsled.

The girl problem is as serious inf' Archangel, Russia, as In any big mill- tary center, says Miss Blizabeth Boles, director of Y. W. C. A. work in Rus- sta, who I8 home on a short leave of absence. “Many girls from central Russia went up to Archangel to spend the summer because of the heat and of the food shortage and when military operations were begun in the ter?- tory surrounding they’ were unable fo ‘go home. They were virtually refy- gees without goloshes, furs and the} heavy winter clothing necessary in that northern reglon. With the com- ing of the expeditionary force the housing question became a serious one. We Y. W. C. A. secretaries have'! fairly comfortable quarters—rooms with beds in and lighted with elec- tricity. To be sure there are several of us In each room. “Many girl clerical and stenographic workers were needed cf course at army headquarters and ut the postoffice, This offered employment to some of the refugees and women are doing ev- erything in Archangel, even to run- ning tramears and trucking. They need organized recreation and that is what we are trying to give them. Mosquito Fleet. Among naval men the mosquito fleet is known as “the second line of de- fense.” It is used In protecting the fortifications and harbors along the coast line, and, like the insect from which it is named, annoys the eney in every way, at the same time preventing the possibility of a blockade.. In the war against Germany the Eritish navy was augmented by several thousands of small and sometimes very speedy vessels, and to this mosquito fleet, manned chiefly by naval reserve men7 and fishermen, the admiralty pald tribute for its patient and laborious work in laying and sweep'ng up mines, chasing submarines and patrolling the home waters. . Our Language. A French soldlier, enthusiastic over the beauties of his best girl, was em deavoring to convey an idea of some of her charms to an English comrade: “She s pretty,” the Frenchman said. “Yeg, 1 see, fairly pretty, eh?” thé Englishman repiied. “Ah! that is the word! She is fair.” “Q, yes, pretty fair!” the English- man responded.—Cartoons Magazine, Sacrificed Principles to Safety.
