Jobs Will Be Waiting
 For Soldiers and Sailors.

For S0lQ1erS ana Sailors.
 M1OT only is the government get v " ting ready to provide for American soldiers and sailors who will be returned to civil life when de- mobilized, but there is a tendency throughout the country among pri- vate concerns to make places for them. It is the right attitude. The least we can do for the men who have helped to win the war in Europe, en- during peril and hardships, is to see that they get their jobs back, or else employment that is equally remuner- ative
 The temper of the nation in this respect is shown by offers of nearly fifty thousand positions in manufac- turing, clerical and agricultural work for disabled soldiers and sailors re- ceived from nine hundred firms in Pennsylvania by the state department of labor and industry. These patriotic firms offer not only positions for men who have lost arms, legs and hearing, but also those who are partially blind.
 It is stated in dispatch from Chi cago that the 175,000 soldiers and sailors from that city will either get

MAYSYILlE MAREET
KAISER CAN BE PUNISHED

Washington, December 20.-The fate
of the former kaiser is still the upper
most of all war questions in the minds
of thousands of Americans.
Maj Gen. William Crozier, has
made an analysis of the various
charges lodged against Germany's for
mer ruler and has studied carefully
the steps that might be taken to bring
him to Justice.
Crozier's conclusion is that Will
helf may properly be hailed before a
court of justice to answer to viola
tons of the laws of Germany, but he
is not liable to direct prosecution in
court for having brought on the war
itself.

American Arrivals.
Senator McCumber Declares We
Should Rush Five Million Men
to France.

Washington, June Ex-senator Nc
Cumber of North Dakota declared in
the Senate that Allied losses exceed
zoe, 900 a month, the number of Am
erican troops sent to France.
Between March 81, the day the
German drive began against the Brit
ish, to June 81, the day when the
German drive against the French and
Italians ended, the Allies lost in pris-
oners alone $4,000 men," he contin-
ued. call of these came from the for
eign units. Other losses of u Allies
were about equal to those Of the en-
envy. This is not surprising because
of the enemy's superior artillery,
deadlier gases and overwhelming
numbers. Our failure to DO better
will prolong the war and increase its
horrors. We can do more"
Allies and United States Called Tardy.
The Allies, including the United
States, are "tardy, inefficient follow
ers" of Germany In the development
and use of big guns and other mod
ern war appliances. Senator McCum-
Der declared, and any budget provid-
ing for less than an army Of 100000
men is playing with raj and not
conducting war"
"The reserve force lies in the SOL
diery of the United States" he de-
clared. "We might as we'll recognize
that now"
Submarine losses as computed by
the Navy department were cited by
Senator McCumber as another evi.
dence Of "our habit of minimizing
our disasters and magnifying our sue
cesses." ---

STROKES WELL TIMED
Proposed Enemy Drive Toward Char
mel Ports and Paris is Anticipated
/, by General Foch by Launching
Assaults at Two Points.

London, June 29.-The proposed
German drive toward Paris or the
Channel ports has been anticipated
by the British troops in Flanders and
the French forces farther south, for
they have struck first.
t. The Allied troops caught the enemy
unawares at several points and driv-
ing swiftly forward took terrain,
which would have been of consider
enemy attacks. In addition, about
1,4OO prisoners and several machine
guns we're left in the hands of the
Allied troops.
Z British Advance Nearly Mile.
The atatck of the British was deliv-
cred about midway between Haze
brouck and Bethune, on a front Of
nearly three and a half miles over
territory which the Germans recently
have been %deluging with shells.
Altogether the attack vas produc-
tive of an average gain of ground to
a depth of nearly a mile and included
the taking of several small hamlets.
1t is not improbable that the Ger
mans, in a proposed offensive in this
region, had set their hearts on the
capture of st. Omer and the railway
line running thence to Calais and
Dunkirk.
French Cain More Than Mile.
The stroke Of the French troops was
over a still greater front-four and a
half miles-and they at points also
penetrated enemy positions to q
goodly depth, at some points a mile
and a quarter. The evident intention
was further to block the gateway tc
Paris through the Villers-Cotteret
region.
From Amblemp to the east of Mont
Colbert the French carried out theil
offensive and overwhelmed strongly
fortified positions Of the enemy along
the entire front. Besides the beatins
back of the enemy. more than 1,06i
Germans fell into the hands of the at
lacking forces.
Although the points of attack were
separated by about 100 miles, the
maneuvers seemingly had been vel
covered by General Foch. the Allied
commandments, as they were car
ried out spontaneously. The strategy
of the double stroke is apparent whe1
1t is realized that a successful Ger
man thrust where the British strucl
would have menaced the channe
ports or a similar move in the soutl
would have placed the French capita
an jeopardy.
The Berlin official communication
issued made note of the Allied thrusts
by declaring that the Germans were
busily engaged in attempts to repulst
them.
