NEW YORK, January 24.—The last Iap in the journey of 360 Polish or- phans will be started on January 28, when they will embark on the steam- ship Princess Matolka of the United Btates lines. B The orphans, who have been fin- mates of asylums in and about Chi- cago for the past two years, are being returned to their fomeland by the Polish National Relief Committee of America. The chiidren will arrive in New York from Chicago within a few days, and will be housed in homes ‘provided for them by the Polish committee until the day of embarkation. ‘The orphans who are being return- ed to their homeland were made par- entless during the war waged upon Poland by the bolshevikl. Accompa- nied by a number of refugees, the children crossed through-Russia into Siberla, where they were taken in charge by representstives of the Polish national relief committee and transported to Japan. From Japan they were taken across the Pacific to Seattle and later brought to Chicago, where they were placed in various -asylums. ; ‘Will Advertise for Prrents. Upon the return of the children to Poland advertisements will be sent broadeast throughout the land in an effort to locate such parents as may have escaped the wrath of the reds, or at least to discov the nearest relatives of the little o When this has been done the Polish national committee will see to it that they are placed in proper hands and that their future is assured. The children will be accompanied back to Poland by four members of the Polish national committee, two of whom are women, and two Polish priests, who have come to this country to aid in uniting the little wanderers with their relatives abroad. ‘The Polish national committee, which is headed by President John Smulski, who is also the president of the Northwestern Trust and Savings Bank of Chicago, determjined to place the children in the hands of the United States government, through the | United States lines, for safe transpor- tation across the Atlantic. The Polish committee was moved to do this through its gratitude to this govern- ment for the relief work done in Poland. - Relief Which Was Glven. Mr. Smulski, shortly after the arm- istice, gave to the American Relief Association, which had charge of aid endeavors in Poland, a check for $1,000,000 on behalf of the Polish na- tional committee of America. money was used in the feeding of in- digent Poles, who were on the verge of starvation as a result of the bol- sheviki raids on their country.

She sald he had no business that could have taken him to Rochester and expressed the bellef that he had been lured there through some trickery. 5 Mrs. Shepard, who, before her mar- riage on January 9, was Miss Marie Selden, and her husband came to New York on their honeymoon. - Digpatches from Rochester reported that Shepard was being detained in a hospital for observation.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1992, " 17,000 Jobless Teachers War’s Legacy to the German Nation By MIRIAM TEICHNER, BERLIN, January 25.—"“Don’t be a teacher,” warns the municipal council of Berlin; in an open letter to the newspapers. According to the Berlin board of educatlon, there are 17,000 unem- vloyed teachers In Germany, and for these, as well as for those men &nd women now studying in nor- mal schools, there is no prospect of employment In their chosen work for years to come. Teachers who have more than forty children under thelr care are paid by the government, but this leaves each city to look out for its own teachers in smaller schools and classes. Thus Berlin has 1,100 teachers who do not come under this government-paid category, n addition to almost as many assist- ant teachers, whose number has grown greatly since the war. “Because of the decrease in birth during the war,” continues the let- ter, “and because of the unfortu- nate conditions continuing since the war, the number of odr school children s considerably smaller than before 1914, 50 that the teach- ers whom the city is able to install will in the next few years continue to decrease. “Because of this relatively small number of school children, the city of Eerlin will not assign new teachers and will not fill vacancies as they occur, but instead will combine smaller classes under one teacher. cepted only are posi- tions for te: ers in technical and special schoo The question of the assistant teacher is one that is greatly af- fected by this necessity for econ- omy on the part of the munlicipal government. After the war, occu- pation for numerous unemployed or financially embarrassed - men and women was found by the city government in this way. The as- sistant _teachers often took the place of teachers who were ill or on leave of absence, and continued DROOP’S great variety in svery style. mnnnunim; | \NEW YORK, DROOP’S MUSIC HOUSE Oh!

Many now are being discharged and more discharges will follow. ‘The board of education is trying, with the help of the municipai,em- ployment bureau, to find work for as mu{ of the assistant feachers as possible in the flelds of employ- ment which were theirs before their installation as teachers. “With the greatest earnestness,” closes ‘the message to. would-be teachers, “we warn against the taking up of teaching as a calling at the present time. There is no prospect of employment for those young people now studying to be- come teachers. Every father should take this carefully into con- sideration when the question of a life-work for his daughter or son presents itself to him ‘and should consider whether the expense of a teacher's education will justify jt- self, if, as will be inevitably the case, the young teacher will have to seek some other means of em- ployment ‘as soon as his or her education is completed.” LIQUOR IMPORTATIONS AND WITHDRAWALS GROW By the Associated Press.
