THEIR OLD JOBS ARE WAITING

That every Kansas soldier who re-
turns from the battle field or train
ing camp will find his job waiting
for him, is evidenced by a recent sur
vey made of the industries in the
state by the United States Employ
ment Service. Practically every en-
ployer has announced that he would
give back their former jobs or a bet
ter one 10 the men represented by the
stars his service flag.
The local Examiner in charge of
the Wichita Office of the Employment
Service reports that places are wait
ing for more than 600 men, who are
now wearing the United States uni
form, and that there are places for
many more laborers, clerks, skilled
mechanics and other classes of labor,
due to the steady return to normal
industrial conditions.
The largest call for men, however,
has been received from Parsons
where there is an insistent call for
more miners to help produce coal this
winter. Fully $500 men, including
nearly all classes of labor have been
requested by u G. Powlesland, Ex-
miner for the fourth labor district.
1.-THE end of the war seems not to
have stopped many industries in Kan
sas" Win Kelley, State Director of
the Employment Service said. "In
fact many plants that have been clos
ed due to the shortge OF labor are
now asking for men, IN order that
they may resume business. Cigar

One of the battalions that was
leading the way found itself caught
in a trap on the afternoon of the third
day-1t couldn't advance. 1t was nee
essary that word be sent back to our
artillery, giving the exact location of
our lines and the location of the boche
batteries, so that our artillery could
open up and silence the boche guns
and the advance continue.

Lofstead of Kansas City said when

The United States Government has
loaned the Allied Governments in
Europe about seven billion and it
looks now as though they would be
compelled to loan them at least half
as much more, making at least, ten
billion before we are through, and
while it looks on the face of it, if they
we would have something like four
hundred million coming in, but the
question is, where are they to get the
money to pay the interest if we do
not loan them some more until they
can grow crops. All these things have
tendency to make money scarce in the
United States and chances are we will
see lower prices for goods and higher
interest rates for money. Already
since the 18th of November, this is
quite noticeable in the East. So it is
poor time to speculate on declining
markets. This is big country and
lots of things have bearing on the
markets of the world
