Old Soldiers Fare Badly.
The asterisks placed opposite the names
of some OF the employees who received diff
ferent treatment show another set of facts
eEd figures. OF the S17 appointments 46
we're ex-soldiers. AS 40 of the S17 were
women, who. of course, do not count in
such calculations, B77 were men, and the
soldiers thus formed .O6S of the appoint
ments. On the other hand 1S5 of the SIC
dismisSsls were soldiers. Taking out the
26S women who were discharged, leaves
6l9 men, and of this rumber the soldiers
formed 80 per cent. OF the 50 requested
designations were handed in by women,
leaving 20 men. Of whom 81 or 40 1-2 per
cent were soldiers.
There were o93 promotions, of which 261
were given TO women, thus showing 626
men. OF these 30 were soldiers, giving
them percentage OF the promotions of
Ill OF the 40 reductions Il were women
and 351 were men. The soldiers reduced ag-
gregated 130. and they formed 81 per cent
OF the total number of men.

soldiers make a better showing. The total
number was Ill. women % men 142 The
