JOBS SCARCE FOR i osevae: BRITISH SOLDIERS SRR Officer, Honored by King George, ! - Finds It Impossible to Get Work, MAY-COME TOUNITED STATES Reports Come From All Over the Country of Difficulty Demobilized Officers Have in Obtaining Employment. London.~From all parts of the coun- try come reports of the difficulty de- mobilized officers are having to find Bobs. Those former officers with wives and familles to support are in many cases living on meager pensions. . -~ One of the most remarkable cases of unemployment is that of a Cam- bridge university graduate who for - the greater part of the war held an fmportant command in the army and subsequently a temporary post of great responsibility in a government department, He is armed with a let- ter from the war office thanking him for his services and adding: “There are few people with greater organ- 1zing ability, more charming manners, greater tact and drive than yourself.” Honored by King George. Another Tétter to him from Sir Auck- land Geddes, president of the board of trade, expresses “warm personal thanks for your loyal and devoted co- operation in very difficult work.” King George bestowed on him the order of Commander of the British Empire. But these credentials have been of no avail in his quest for suitable em- ployment in this coyntry, and, in de- spair, he says that he is going to America next month. Ex-officers have discovered that the business world regards long military service as a disaivantage rather than an asset. An infantry captain, 43 years old, with wife and three children, sald: ““I have farmed in South Africa, served with the Natal mounted police, and prospected for gold. I want an outdoor job connected with agricul- ture, with a minumum salary of $1,- 250. I cannot get one and I have ap- plied for a small holding, but am told I may have to wait twelve months,” Offered Half Old Salary. Another former officer reported his firm would take bim back at half his prewar salary, saying that was the best they could do, as trade was so bad. “Some companies don't know there has been a war on,” commented a job- seeking ex-officer who before he went into army was the head clerk in an insurance office. “My people have of- fered me $450 a year, and I am 26.” FAMOUS BAR NOW GROCERY Californla. House Had Five Presl- dents and One King as Guests, ' Sacramento, Cal.—The Diamond bar, famous for nearly fifty years as a part of the old Auzerais House, of San Jose, Cal., is being fitted up for a gro- - cery store. The Auzerais House, In West Santa Clara street, housed five presidents of the United -States and was for a time the abode of a king. It whs bullt in 1863, according to John BE. Auzerais of San Jose, and the bar- room was the meeting place for many of the men whose names have been written into the history of California. President Grant was entertained at a banquet in the Auzerais House in 1879. The following spring King Ka- lukau of Hawall was a guest, and in September of the same year President Hayes delivered an address from the balcony. President Harrison was a guest in 1891, and both McKinley and Roosevelt visited the famous old hotel on thelr tours of the United States. A.
