TUESDAY, MARCH 2, 1920 LAXITY IS CHARGED TO FEDERAL BOARD OF TRAINING Big Majority of Disabled Yanks} Wait Assistance New York, March 2.—Charges pub- lished by the New York Evening Post expose the fact that 14 months after the signing of the armistice, 75 per- cent of the AmeWrican soldiers dis- abledor hurt in the war are still wait- ing for the Federal Board for Voca- tional Training to assist them. The board has been in existence 19 months. ‘It has trained and placed in gainful emp‘oyment a total of 217 formér service men! 110,000 ELIGIBLE It is estimated that there are 110,- 000 men eligible for training. The! board employes 3,000 clerks, or 10 times. the number of wounded. sold- iers so far placed in gainful employ- ment. Congress has provided $21,000,000 for the training of disabled men and it is estimated that the ultimate cost |. may be $250,000,000. Thirty percent of the men approv- ed for training become disgusted at the delays and throw up their chances. Ten percent abandon the training} courses after they enter them. In last December, the board paid out $386,807 in salaries to 3,242 em-! ployes—and but 139,335 intuition | for ‘the training of 21,537 disabled, soldiers. MUCH DUPLICATION Duplication of work is said to exist | to such a degree that as many as! five copies of a single form are made out. ie The board is responsible only to congress, and violations of civil ser- vice rules are among the serious ac-| cusations made by investigators. A circular order sent out to sonte agents of the board contains the fol- lowing suggestions: “The organs used in approving cases are the eyes and the brain. The! AMERICANS PLANNING ears and the heart do not function. “Be hard-boiled. Members of the! district office staffs will beat you over| the head with verbal pressure, Dis- trict pressure causes all our mistakes. Put cotton in your ears and lock the door. If you are naturally sympa- thetic, work nights when nobody is there.” ‘ “DRAFT OF HONOR” The New York office has just sign-! ed a lease on new quarters for $89,-| 000, or one doliar per square foot! more than any other tenant in the building. President Wilson. wrote, on Nov. 29, 1918, that the obligation to train} disab! soldiers was a “draft of hon-! or, which the United States accepted; when it selected these men and took them in their health and strength to fight the battles of the nation.” HOLLAND WILL OBSERVE TERCENTENARY OF THE, LANDING OF PILGRIMS Leiden, Holland, March 2.—Hol- land’s share in the celebration of the tercentenary of the landing at Ply. mouth of the Pilgrim Fathers | will center at Leiden and preparations for it nowW are in progress, Many of the English Protestants on the Mayflower lived here for many years after they were driven from England.

Means of transport#tion for -the general manager of the transcontinen- tal railroad today differ a great deal from those he used as a poor but am- ibitious youth with a bundle of class books clutched tightly under his arms as he braved the rigors of a northern winter a half century ago. , Became Farm Hand at-10 ¥ John Malcolm Rapelje was born on January 22, 1857, at Chippewa, Ont. His father was John Rapelje, harness maker, and this mother was Elizabeth Ann Rapeje. His father was of French origin, his mother was born in England. Desire to do things different from those in the atmosphere of his home life gave him courage to leave the jparental roof at the age of ten years. He became a hired hand on a farm near St. Thomas, Ont. Between the hours of 5 a. m. and 9 p. m, he did ‘chores and studied all he could. Dur- ling a winter while employed .on a farm he hauled wood to the captain of a steamer on Lake Erie. With the advent of spring he yearned for a lake job. He applied to the captain and soon after he was hired. “All through the winter I gave good oa brief ;measure in those loads of wood,” Mr. Rapelje said with a twinkle in his “I knew that by such tricks I would win the good graces of the captain and then he could not turn me down when I asked him for a job. was hired, but had to walk twelve lake. I covered that distance with a jcontinual smile, for I was a tickled . lad.” And so at the age of sixteen years manager of the Northern Pacific railroad learned his OVER-EATING is the root of nearly all digestive evils.

He began | his railroad career as a brakeman on the Grand Trunk railroad m Septem- ber, 1879. Two years later he went over to the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe as a fireman. From 1882 to 1887 he was a conductof on the Canadian Pacific. road.

From April, 1905, to July, 1008, he was superintendent of the Yellow- stone division at Glendive, Mont., and to May, 1910, was.,superintendent of the Rocky Mountain division at Mis- soula, Mont. He afterward became superintendent of the Idaho division at Spokane, Wash. and remained there until April 12, 1912, when he was appointed general superintendent of the lines from Mandan, N. D., to Paradise, Mont., with headquarters at | Livingston, Mont. In May, 1914, he! was appointed assistant general man- ager with headquarters in St. Paul. He became general manager when the road went over to federal control dur- ing the war. : Proud, of Conductor’s Card Mr. Rapelje is proud of the solid gold card denoting his life membership | in the Order of Railway Conducta's, which he received from the: Yellow- stone division at Glendive, Mont. | , “The chuckle of the harbor tugs is still music to me,” Mr. Rapelje said, “and whenever I go to Duluth and! jSuperior I try to squeeze in a few| iminutes to watch them ply through \the water.

YOUNG REAL ESTATE COMPANY First National Bank Building Phone 78-R WET FORCES T0 FIGHT DRY LAW BY-GEORGE B. WATERS N. E. A. Staff Correspondent Washington, March 2.—The wet forces will try to repeal the prohibi- tion amendment to the federal consti- tution. With oflices opened in the Munsey building here, they are or- ganizing a “secret” society to defeat all senators and congressmen who will not vote to get the 18th amend- ment re-submitted to the states. The wet organization, in a_confi- dential letter sent out to favored wets | says it is going to “take a lesson from the Anti-Saloon league.” The only way in which its organization differs from the pros who made the country dry is, membership in the new society will be kept secret if requested by the member, Its work is to be on the order of the Nonpartisan league. No politics, no sectarianism. but it will concen- trate in trying to make the national congress and state legislatures wet. Organized on the border of a Klu- | Klux Klan, members will take the fol- | lowing pledge: “I hereby pledge my word that so long as I remain a mem- ber of this league, I] will not vote for any candidate for the office of United States senator or member of congre! or member of tho lezislature unles such candidate announces or pro: ises that. he will favor the repea! of ; the recent prohibition amendment to the federal constitution.” The vnes who are to promise sec- recy are the auditors who will count the names in each voting district and previous to elections announce to the candidates, to scare them, how many voters have promised to secretly swat Prohibition candidates. The organization expects to work on the returned soldiers who “feel that’ advantage has been taken of their absence.” MONTANA DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION ENTERS POLITICS OF STATE Billings, Mont., March 2.—Accord- ing to iin official statement issued by W.
