SHE LET ARMIES
MARCH OVER HER
THE DUcHYoF LUXEMBOURG WAS
70 SMALL TO INTERPosE
OBJECTION.

Washington, D. c., April S.-Writing
of the little Duchy of Luxembourg,
which figured so prominently in the
beginning of the war, but which is now
lost in the shuttle of peace while the
world around it is fighting, the Ma
tional Geographic Society. says:
"The tiny, independent State of Lux
emburg has been almost lost sight of
while Europe is fighting its present
war. Vast war armies swept over this
infant monarchy at the beginning of
the war, passed beyond. and left it all
unchanged far behind the battle lines.
Luxembourg was in no position to op-
pose the passage Of an empires forces,
and, therefore, quietly submitted to the
passage of the German army. Hence
it is still the possessor of a well-de-
,veloped industry, of smiling fields and
meadows, and of a people happy in
the security of their young men. When
the Kaiser's army crops started by
way of this Grand Duchy into France,

tiers, thence to the zone headquarters.
Likewise, blank applications for help
are provided; to be filled out and
handled the same way. The man and
the job are thus brought together,
matched up, and. made to serve one an
other. Then if in a particular terri
tory there is surplus of either men
or jobs, the blanks representing this
surplusage are forwarded to the zone
headquarters; If it cannot take care
of them, they come on to Washington.
The effort, in short, is to get people
jobs, and to provide employers with
help, as near home as possible. II
the thing can't be done close to home
and in a striking number of cases
it is found that just little real system
will bring that result-then the radius
of operations is widened.
Perfection a Surprise.
1t is surprising that the system has
been perfected in so short time to
bring such excellent results with so
little new machinery 1t will get its

with the purpose of meeting that
emergency. There will be more acres
of wheat to harvest than ever before;
a good many million more acres, and
it will be worth, in all probability,
more money per acre than ever before.
But in this business of bringing the
man and the Job together, the Depart
ment of Labor is pretty well satisfied
that the man who must do the excess
of seasonal work is the man who al
ready had job, not the one who is
chronically out of a job. The tramp
and the hobo cannot be depended on.
They have got past the point where
they want to work. 1t is the man tenn

who must be secured for the task. So
it is hoped to make town and country

rary unemployment starting men on

The old army of tramps, for the
greater part, cannot be saved. That
is the verdict. But it Is believed that
additions to its ranks can be curtailed
SO that in time tramping as vacation
may be brought to an end.

it may not be out of place to empha-
size the fact that chancellor requires
better and more thorough legal learn
ing than a circuit Judge, for the chan
cellor has no jury to bring in verdicts
for him, but must decide the law and
the fact for himself.
1t may not be amiss, therefore, for
the Herald to venture few pertinent
remarks concerning a candidate who
has his domicile in Harrison county,
admittedly the largest county in the
district in point of population, as
sessed values and in the volume of its
court business. 1t is needless to say
we refer to v. A. Griffith.
1t may truthfully be said of Mr.. Grit
fifth that he knows the chancery prac-
tice and procedure as do few lawyers
in this district or even in the state,
and that he has the industry, train
ing, experience and meritorious sue
cess and unquestioned superior legal
standing to render excellent service
should the people decide to make him
their chancellor.
The election of Mr.. Griffith would
be a yindication of the elective sys-
tenn and the general worth and virtue

FOOD PROBLEM SOLVED.


Budapest, April S.-The food ques-
ton. has at least been to some extent
solved in this city. The authorities
have a considerable supply of flour
and grain on hand, and some official
statements aver that the stock will
last until the next harvest, although
it is not generally believed. The dis
tribution of -four is going on under
rather rigid restrictions.
The grain was obtained just in time
to avoid serious trouble with the pop
ulace which had become very ugly
over the prospects of famine. Great
preparations are being made for max
ing the next harvest as ample as pos
sible. All agricultural laborers now
with the army are to have fourteen
days leave for the spring planting, and
are required to spend this time in the
same locality where they worked last
year. The government has also an
nounced that groups of soldiers from
the reserves, twenty men in each
group, may be rented" for agricul-
tural work on application from ap-
proved landowners.
Probably no attempt will be made
to employ prisoners of war for this
work in Hungary, as the camps where
the prisoners are interned are hotbeds
of contagious diseases and the prison
ers would spread them all over the
country.

When the people by their votes de
cided to make the judiciary elective
they believed that only good and able
lawyers would be elected judges.
It so happens, however. that under
our system of government, any man
may run for any office, regardless OF
fitness or qualifications, and it is for
that reason that the people should
exercise caution and judgment in vot-
ing for men who offer themselves Tor
judgeships, for there is no office more
important or one more intimately as

than that of Judge.

hood.
1t didn't mean so very much to Will
: son then. But the years passed, and
he became a miner in good standing,
and then leader, and then Secretary
of Labor; and last summer there came
up from the wheat fields of the South
west clamor for labor to help har-
vest the grain. And Wilson bethought
himself of the vacation time in the hop
country.
Why not an adaptation of that idea
to the whole national difficulty in
dealing with seasonal occupations?
Why not furnish vacations to people
all over the country who need the
change and who incidentally could
help with the work where the work is
pressing,
So a cooperation was arranged be-
tween the Postoffice Department and
the Department Of Labor Postmas-
ters were directed to put up notices
indicating where and when men would
be needed, and where and when they
could be had. The railroads were in
terested. Tens of thousands of men
are needed throughout the Western
ain-growing belt, for few weeks in
summer, who could not possibly be
provided with jobs there the rest of
the time To get them there when
needed, and to get them out when the
work is done, was the problem.
Results Produced.
The cooperation of postoffice and
transportation and Department of La
Dor produced results; but some of
them were not very satisfactory. The
needed men were rushed into the grain
country; but it was not so easy to
rush them out at the end of the season.
1t was found absolutely necessary to
provide them with very cheap trans
portation, and that involved Difficult
ties with the interstate commerce
laws. The men who help save the
crops, during the few weeks of the
crush of work, cannot be left stranded
after that work is done.
The experience of last summer re-
suited in the development of scheme
by which it is believed difficulties
may be removed, and the work made
more efficient and economical. The
National Bureau of Employment has
divided the country into eighteen
zones; headquarters are established
at cities like Boston. Providence, New
York, Philadelphia, Norfolk. New Or
