Paris,
eth April, 1913.
Mr.. c. n. WOolley,
President, American Radiator
Company, Washington.
Dear Mr.. Woolley-I suppose
that engrossed As you are by your
duties at Washington you have
sometimes turned your thoughts
toward the Paris office during the
past few weeks. and wondered how
we we're faring since the Germans
have begun TO evidence their par
dcHlar spite toward this city.
None Of Us, fortunately, has come
to harm, and we often think that
those who are far away are more
apt to be alarmed than those who
are In Paris, and see how really
futile is the enemy's endeaVor TO
provoke panic or even do any great
amount Of hurt, except in such a
case as happened In the church
on Good Friday.
Since the beginning Of this year
We had q few Visitations from
aeroplanes by night, although not
nearly to the same extent as Lon
don. These are very unpleasant
affairs, however slight may be the
risk OF personal damage, as after
all one never knows where a bomb
may fall When the unwelcome
visitors come before 10 or IL
o'clock the effect on nerves is not
30 bad. but when they arrive, as
they did q few nights ago, be-
tween 3 and 4 o'clock in the early
morning, waking one suddenly
from sleep at a moment when the
brain seems to be more especially
susceptible to impressions, then
the effect is perhaps what the Ger
mans desire. When daylight comes
and work has TO be resumed. 4
tired feeling persists, and as we say
here: "On nest pas dams son as
Eiette."
When the raiders first came our
6efenses were perhaps not quite
perfect, IS We had become accus-
toned to the thought that Paris
would not be attacked. Now, Vow
ever, the defense firing is very
heaYy, and where I live at least,
shakes the house and makes all the
windows rattle and jar. Very
many people get up, no matter
what the hour may be, and hasten
% safer places than fourth, fifth,
or sixth floors In fats, the safer
places being mostly cellars. TheSS
unfortunately are not very warm,
and the result is a plentiful crop
OF colds and coughs, besides a con-
siderable measure Of discomfort
Rightly or wrongly, have an idea
that our house in the suburbs is
hardly likely to be hit, except In
the moment Of flight before an at
tack from the Paris guns, when
the Germans might let their bombs
fall anywhere so as to be rid Of
the load. We have therefore up to
now stayed in our rooms, wishing
only that the enemy might speed
fly get away, and listening hard for
the SAll clear" signal. Happily
The etilaren have slept through all

The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1918-12-12

Four million of Americas best
young men were called to arms dur
ing the past two years and a large
part of this number will be returned
to civilian life, to be absorbed by the
business and professional interests of
the nation. This is one OF, the great
est problems that America has ever
had to solve, but she will solve it just
like she has all the other big PROPOSE
tions that have come up since this
country entered the world war. The
four million soldiers fortunately will
not be returned all at once, giving the
nation an opportunity to care for them
gradually. 1t is said that three mil
lion young men can find positions on
the farms. Hundreds of thousands
will find employment in the ship build
ing yards and on board our merchant
marine which is now being built up.
Before the war, America paid little at
tention to her merchant marine, but
hereafter this will be one of our most
important industries. A half million
or more of the soldiers will be retain
ed in Europe as the army of occupa-
ton and Uncle Sam is apt to keep a
pretty fair sized standing army at
home. Then there are the national
highways to be built and maintained,
the reclamation work on the cut-over
timber lands, arid and swamp lands.
Munition plants will shut down but
will be replaced by manufactures
which closed down when the war made
demands for war materials. In 1914,
the year the great war started, 1,200,-
900 Europeans came to this country
and they had no trouble in being alb
sorbed. If we will just keep business
good there will be no trouble in find
ing good places for our returning SOL
diers.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1918-12-12

What will we do with our returned
soldiers? MinoJ is already experience
ing difficulty in placing these young
men who are returning in small numb
ers from the training camps. Soon
they will be coming back by the score
and it is our duty to see that they are
given their old positions or others just
as good or better. They gave up their
work when our country called them
and all that they ask in return is to
be placed on pre-war business foot
ing. Most business concerns have ex-
pressed their desire to make places for
these brave lads, but it may take a
little good planning to find places for
all. Still it must be done and Minot
will not be found wanting. Those who
have positions which can be filled by
the returning soldiers should notify
the Secretary of the Association OF
Commerce of the United States En-
ployment office in this city.
