GENERAL WOOD GRGESACTION All Lines of Effort Should Be Organe ized and Every Opportunity Given Men to Settle Down in Civil Life Contented. By LEONARD wWO0OD. WMajor General Commanding Central De- partment, United States Army. Appreciation of the work done by our soldlers, sailors 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 natdon that stands for justice and are dealing. -Qur soldiers were —~-#knt to their training 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- elined to lose interest in those who made our success possible. This is the time for the nation to show that it understands ‘and ‘appreciates the sac- rifices which our men willingly made when they answered the call for ‘n- tional service. The 4,000,000 men inducted into the service, Jess the dead, are being re- turned fo their homes. We must or- ganize all lines of effort so that every possible opportunity will be given them to settle down happily contented in eivil life. Some of them we will find a bit difficult to handle, and we roust have considerable patience with them. They have been through a big experi- ence. Some are a bit unreasonable 4+ in a way, and perhaps it s hard for \.them to settle down. Ambition Is Aroused. In seeing that they are returned to guitable civil employment—and by that J mean employment in which they will find contentment—we will find 1t at times difficult to deal with them. ‘We must remember that many of thes? men, hefore going for the great ven- ture, had never been far from home, had never seen the big things of life, had never had the opportunity of finding themselves. During their serv- dce In the army they found out that sll men were equal except as distin. ‘guished one from the other by such ‘ characteristics as physique, educa- ‘tion.and character. They discovered .that men who are loyal, attentive to ‘duty, always striving to do more than /required, stood out among their fel- ‘lows and were marked for promotion ‘Naturally many of them now see that ' .their forurer employment will not give | !'them the opportunities for advancr- /ment which they have come to prize, and for that reason they want a *'change. ent. which offers -opportunities for Iprombtlon. Many such men are fitted ''for forms of ‘employment 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 fellow. 1t is not charity to give these mwen the opporttnities for which they strive. It i& Justice. Others afe ynot mentully equipped to take advan- tage of such opportunities if offered, and with these we will find it more " difficult to deal. They must be red- soned with, and directed, if possible, nto the kind of employment best suit- ed to their characteristles. 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 effi- riency In those lines, nor can they be offered reduced wages during this pe- riod.. . Give Them Square Deal. Our soldiers, sailors and marines sffered themselves for the great ad- Muany of them have been through the great adventure, in which <hey offered their lives, to the end that rustice might prevall and the wozld he made safe to live in. Those who Ald not come face to face with the creat adventure nevertheless \ere »eady to do so, and it was through no {ault of theirs that they did not have the opportunity. In training camps ~orling from early morning until late st nighy, fitting their bodies to meet ~he physical hardships of war, fitting ~beir minds to meet the mental shock «f combat, and in the battle line un- qer wsoul-stirring conditions, thése men stood ready to make the grest sacri- Bice. Le¢t us remember that a squere deal for our honorably discharged soldiers, «ailors and marines will strengthen +he morale of the nation and will help to create a sound national conzcious- ness ready to act promptly in stpport of truth, justice and right.

The musician of today looks like a smart business or professional man rather than an idle dreamer, observes the DI’hiladelphia Record. He is as good a customer as the barber has Short croppeil hair is supplanting the shaggy locks of former days. The schoolboy's Windsor tie and low. col- lar have given way to the neat four in hand and regular business man’s col- lar., The DBuffalo Bill chapeau Is ousted by the conventional fedora. Odd mannerisms which serve no useful purpose are cast off. The modern musician is a good mixer. He wants to know his public first haund, and he enters into the gen- eral life of the community fustead of acting the recluse. By mingling he has ' learned that -people now want music, not gesticulations nor dress. Concert goers ‘are more -concerned about what they hear than what they { see. An artist’s reputation for freak- tshness off the stage does not offset poor execution on the stage. The mu- sic-loving public has developed to the point where sham and pretense are use less. Nothing but the ability to pro- duce good muslc can get past. TANK CORPS IN U. S. ARMY Section Will Be Commanded by Briga. dier General. Recognition of the Iimportance of artaored tanks, “ordnance cavalry,” in modern warfare has been fndicated by the .peacetime organization of this arm of the service, just approved by the ‘war department. The United States will maintain in commlssion and ready for action a minimum ot 1,050 tanks, 330 being of the heavy type, 720 of the 1ight type and others that will be classed as “signal tanks.” A tank brigade, composed of one battalion of heavy tanks and two of light tanks, will’be attached to each army corps. The typlcal heavy bat- talion includes 45 fighting tanks, with 24 In reserve, and the light battalion, 45 fighting machines, with 27 in re- serve. Thus the armny corps’ comple ment will total 135 battle craft, fully equipped, with 78 awaiting orders from the corps cominander. Bottie Causes Undoing. A bottle of whisky alleged to have been dropped from the overcoat pocket of Henry Parry of Philadel phia, an elevator adjuster employed at the Hotel Adelphia as he was leaving, led to the discovery that he had a false pocket in the overcoat. Steaks, pork chops, ketchup and sausage, which he was alleged to have con- fessed he stole from the kitchen, were found in the pocket. Parry was ar rested and was held under $800 bail fn the eity hall police court for a fur- ther hearinz. He said he had bebs employed two years in the hotel M. E.
