FACES
REHABILITATION
PROBLEM
BY HAL OFLAHERTY

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London, Sept. 24.-(By MaiD-Al-
though peace is not yet in sight, Eng
land is already taking steps toward
a slow and gradual rehabilitation of
her great army. An inkling of what
would happen should any great number
Of fighting men be suddenly thrown
ashore on England's coast has been
CLEANED from the pranks of restless
convelescents. It is stated on good
authority that arrangements have
been made to house the new army in
northern France for some time after
peace has been declared, allowing only
small bodies Of men to cross the chan
mel at time
AS the demobilized soldiers cross to
England, they will be disposed most
Systematically. In one of the largest
club buildings in London, commander
ed for the express purpose, there is
being prepared a card index of every
soldier, showing his history, qualif-
cations and business training. When
the army disbands, England expects
to know exactly what human resources
she possesses and she is determined
to use these toward rebuilding her
world trade.
In conjunction with the card index
inging of the soldiers, some of the
Empires greatest organizers are max
ing a survey of factories, wholesale
houses, shipyards and all businesses
requiring labor. The number of men
needed for each will be accurately
charted and when the time comes, the
eX-soldier will be offered immediate
employment.
How well England is anticipating
the future can only be conjectured,
for very few persons know the extent
of the plans. But a good indication of
how determined the effort is, was
shown in the communicating of the
national Liberal Club building. The
announcement of this act on the part
of the government came like a bolt
from a clear sky to the club members.
The protested Indignantly until the
president Of the club explained the
reason; that England wanted their
premises to care for the future of the
men who were facing death in France.
The professors left the building after
patriotic demonstration. The tradi-
tions of years were to be thrown over
board to make room for the salvaging
of England's trade.
Not only London but every city of
the Empire will become a great clear
ing house for labor. The appalling
cost of warfare is to be discussed, in
so far as possible, by utilizing fully
the virile and revitalized manhood
which war produces. If Germany
showed greater efficiency in preparing
for war, Teutonic ingenuity will be
taxed to the limit to Guido the Anglo
saxon in preparing for peace.

and has been a consistent democrat
from his youth.
He was nominated for governor on
the democratic ticket in 1896, and
made a vigorous campaign against
Gov. ScofeId on the silver question,
but was defeated by a large majority.
Helped Establish Library
He was prominent in establishing q
free public library for Wausau and
was first president Of the library
board, holding that position for many
years.
In 1869 he engaged in the banking
business with D. L. Plummer and his
brother, the late George SiIverthorn,
establishing the institution which
later became the First National bank
Of Wausau.
For six years he was district attor-
2ey of Marathon county, and in 1863
and 1871 was elected to the lower
house Of the legislature. In 1875 he
was elected to the state senate.
During his career Judge Silverthorn
was associated with E. L. Bump, NJ.
A. Hurley, T. c. Ryan, G. D. Jones
and other prominent lawyers in the
state.
The funeral will be held at Wausau
