10000 SOLDIERS MANNED IN WAR
PLEAD FOR WORK.

New York-Thirty thousand MAIN
ed French soldiers are pleading for
work, for the opportunity to be edu-
Gated to make themselves useful in
the labor world of their country, it is
announced by Mrs. Edmund. Lincoln
Baylies, chairman for the United
States of a movement which has Just
been inaugurated for the organization
of the American Committee for Train
ing in Suitable Trades the Manned
Soldiers of France. For these 10000
crippled men, according to Mrs. Bay
lies, an equal number of positions are
being held open by the employers of
France, who need these workers. On
ly the training for these soldiers is
lacking to enable them to learn some
useful pursuit so that they can serve
in shop and factory.
The American Committee, which
has established headquarters at the
Plaza Hotel in this city, regards its
task in the light of charity to do away
with the need of charity" 1t re-
qures from three to six months for
one of these war dependents to pass
through this period of instruction
the length of time necessary for his
tuition depends on the man and his
trade-and the cost of his education is
only four to five francs a day. One
hundred dollars would meet the aver
age of all cases, the committee esti-
mates.
The committee in France knew OF
one soldier who, having lost an arm
while fighting on the Marine. drifted
from shop to shop in search of a
chance to support himself, and, turn
ed away because he knew no trade
which he could follow with his one
arm, shot himself.
The manned ones who are being
taught trades under the direction of
the committee in France divide their
profits in full when they have reached
the stage of production with those pu-
pills who are only beginning to learn

THE TAKING OF sTlNoAREE.

- TINGAREB had crossed the
- Murray, and all Victoria was
W agog with the news. 1t was
not his first descent upon that
colony nor likely to be his last, unless
Subinspector Kilbride and his mount
ed myrmidons did much better than
they had done before. There is no
stimulus, however, like a trembling
reputation. Within four-and-twenty
hours Knbride himself was on the
track OF the invader, whose heels he
had never seen, much less his face.
And he rode alone.
Once, glancing through the woods,
he saw several horsemen who had dis
mounted and were reading the latest
exploits OF the noted outlaw. He made
a detour and escaped notice.
IL was not merely his reputation that
was at stake, though nothing could re-
store that more effectually than the

And as a fine fighter in an infamous

In Victoria, where the old tale of pOpu-
lar sympathy with a picturesque ras-
cal was responsible for not the least Of
the subinspectOr's difficulties. But even
this struck Kilbride as yet another of
those obstacles which were more east
ly surmOunted alone than at the head
Of laxative squad, and with that
conviction he pushed his thoroughbred

and three parts OF an Australian sum-
